DECIDE TO

CHINESE HOLDINGS
Supreme Council will Include
Requirement in Its PreIimi.
nary Peace Treaty To Be
Presented TO Germans,

PARIS, March IL. (By the Associated
Press)-rhe supreme council Of the
peace conference has virtually decided
TO include in the preliminary treaty of
peace a requirement that Germany shall
r~elinqulsh her leese-hold OF Tsing-Tao
ana All properties and concessions on
the, Shantung peninsula.
no attempt, II is understood, win be
ina1e at the present TO render a decision
as 70 the ultimate possession of Ger
many's rights, which Is now the sub
Ject OF a controversy between the jap
anese and Chinese delegation in Paris.
the former holds that Japan acquired
NE iease-hold by right Of conquest over
the German forces there, although she
Is willing TO permit the ultimate status
or the shantung peninsula TO be deter
mined by the peace conference. China
cohtends the lease was automatically
cancelled by the expulsion Of the Ger
mans, who originally acquired it by
China.
1t is expected that the final adjust
ment VIII be made in the definite peace
less In the meantime, the principals to
the controversy reach a mutually salts
factory agreement.
The labor commission has decided to
recommend that the first meeting Of
the international labor conference he
held at Washington in October, IL the
United States government will consent
10 convene It.. This official
ment was made last night.
There Is a divergence In the views Of
the members of the commission in
v~estigating the responsibility for the
war. on several important points, ac-
cording to the Temps. AS to whether
the former German emperor and other
heads of enemy states should be brought
to trial is. q question on which a d.
vision of opinion exists, while the mat
ter Of an international tribunal or mill
tary tribunals for Judging those charged
with violations of the rights Of nations
during the war has not been settled.
The American delegates have opposed
that the United States was not a bellig-
eTent during the whole period when
such violations were committed, A pos
sible solution has been under considera-
tton-the appointment OF military
tribunals composed OF officers of diff
ferent ~nationalities.

AMERICANS MUST
FEED RUSSIANS
Information Indicates U. S.
Will Have to Tighten It's
Belt for Slavs.

ARCHANGEL, March Ia, (By the
Associated Press. )-Information secured
by the allied food committee in North
Russia and from persons reaching
Archangel from the interior indicates
the American people must deprive
themselves of breadstuffs until the
Russian question is settled and the
country is again placed on a sound ag-
ricultural basis.
Because of the disruption of trans
portation, peasants are hesitating to
SOW any more grain than they them
selves need, as they fear its seizure
by the Bolsheviki. Owing to the short
age of seed grain which, because of
the famine. has been used for food,
Russia will be comparatively without
crops in 1919 and this condition will
extend into 1920 ever II the country
is restored to peace. Unless the situa-
ton is restored to normal, it will grow
worse from year to year.
The outside world, particularly
America, must be prepared to feed the
most of the Russian population for at
least six months after peace is re-
stored" a member of the food COM
mittee said today. And so long as
Russia remains without crops, the rest
of Europe must also look toward
America for the grain which formerly
poured out of Russia's Baltic and Black
sea ports"

Made Perfect
OF Utmost Importance That She Have
Every Care.

The expectant mothers physical COM
fort should be our first thought, and all
about rher should see to it that her
preparation for baby's coming be COM
plete.
There is a most splendid remedy to
prepare women for the greatest time in
their lives, known as Mothers Friend.
II is applied to the muscles OF the alb
domen, gently rubbed in, and at once
penetrates to relieve strain on nerves,
cords and ligaments. 1t makes the
muscles so plant that they expand
easily when baby arrives; the hours at
the time are fewer, and pain and dam
ger at the crisis is naturally avoided.
Mothers Friend enables the mother
to preserve her health and strength,
and she remains a pretty mother by
having avoided discomfort and suffer-
ing which more often than otherwise
accompanies such an occasion when
nature is unaided. Every nerve, mus
Gle and tendon Is thoroughly fabricated.
Discomfort during the period lis coun-
teracted, and the skin, after the crisis.
is left smooth and natural.
