PARIS, SAYS BALFOUR

PARIS, March speaking TO
the British correspondents to-
night. Arthur j. BaIfour, British
secretary for foreign affairs, said:
'sBy the end of March we shall
at least be in sight Of a pre-
hminary peace. which will be the
greatest stride toward universal
peace. AS q representative OF the
British government l am in po-
sition to say that what is going
on in America at this moment is
more important for the success
of general peace than what is
being done in Paris today"
Mr.. Balfour added that the
league of nations would not at
tain its fullest fruit unless the
United States took an even share
in the great tasks after the
peace.

LONDON, March belief in Presi-

United States behind him ON the

England and on the continent. Even
those who are most anxious to see
the Presidents ideals succeed take a
gloomy view of the situation.
The Manchester Guardian, which
has upheld consistently the American
viewpoint with it's liberal teachings.
says today: when President Wilson
returns fortnight hence he will
know what he can do and what he
cannets and will inform the allies Of
the limits OF His authority. He viii
tell tl1em that he can sanction on
behalf OF America no annexations of
territor.t on the plea Of military Sc
curity and can take part in the es-
tabrishment Of no buffer state to the
west of the Rhine or elsewhere. 5un-
less at the express unfetered desire

Fears Collapse Of League.

.If that is SO, which We believe. he
will be bounq TO tell them that il
such arrangements should be made it
will be impossible for America to
guarantee them or. If challenged. TO
defend them: that would mean the
collapse of the league. Whatever
America will accept, other states will
accept; if she is not party to the
league there will be no league. If
the league is weakened as to power,
unable in the last resort to appeal to
combined, overwhelming force, every
state which believes itself TO be
threatened will have the more reason
for resortiDg to the security of the
old, well accustomed armaments,
strategic frontiers and separate aIli-
ances.'
Even the weekly journals take issue
with President Wilson, especially as
to his statement in his Boston speech
that the peoples OF the world. not
their governments. have set their
hands to the task of building the
league.

Questions and Answers.
Question. What is the cause of de-
cayed Jumps forming in the tonsils2
Will this also cause the teeth to de-
cay? Thank you.
Answer. Tonsils that have spaces
or crypts in them are likely to form
what you call "decayed Jumps" Some
times particles of food lodge in these
crypts and become decayed- More
often it is a secretion of the tonsils,
themselves. becoming infected and
thus forming a breeding ground for
nyriads of germS-often times of a
harmful sort. People with such ton
sis are likely to have rheumatism,
which sometimes results in orga mic
heart disease. Tonsils with large
crypts containing decayed and putrid
material should be removed. 1t is
useless to simply treat those kind of
tonsils. The only relationship which
such condition of the tonsils bears to
the teeth is that it keeps the mouth
in a constant state of infection and
the teeth may thus become infected.
