tee that nothing but chaos will re-
suit in Europe unless the financial
interests of the country get behind
tho work of rehabilitation.
The witness testified that he sent
his copy to Mr.. Root because he knew
that Roots opinion on the treaty was
sought in Paris and believed that he
should have a copy to study.
Mr.. Morgan, when called. declared
he knew nothing about the copy OF
the treaty and that his firm has no
copy except that recently published
in the newspapers. He admitted that
he had a financial interest in the
treaty and that his firm holds large
amounts of securities of foreign gov
ernments. including number OF
French cities.
Europe Needs Assistance.
Mr. Vanderlip told the committee
that Europe is in desperate need of
assistance and that a general con-
flagration'' there will involve the
United States.
He aroused the interest of SEN
ator Borah by stating that there
is a strong sentime mt in England
and France that the United States
should not seek to collect from
those countries the amounts loaned
to them by this government.
There is a disposition in France
and in England to feel that it would
be wise and just for us to forego
the demand for the repayment of
the large amounts of money we
have loaned" he said. The state
ment was repeated with the ex-
planation from Mr.. Vanderlip that
he was not advocating it. He gave
the amounts of the loans as s2.S00.-
10000 to France and s4,5OO. 900, 900
to England.

OmsS, Siberia, April 10.-Excit-
ing adventures have fallen to the
lot of Mrs. Carl c. Compton, of Chi
cago, who, with American womanly
pluck, has ACCOMPANIED her husband
in many months of humanitarian
relief work among the Armenians
and later during the most exciting
moments of the Bolshevik revolu-
ton. They had never left Illinois
before coming to the Caucasus for
the Committee on Armenian Relief.
Now, Mr.. Compton is in charge of
the American Young Mems Chris
uan Association work at Omsk.
They were first stationed at Alex
andropol, Caucasus, then in the
hands OF the Russians. and were oc-
cupied' with industrial relief work.
Positions were found for refugees
as they arrived. fleeing from Tur-
key. They estimate that they and
other members of the corps distrib-
uted clothing for 5000 Armenian
orphans, whose parents had been
massacred by the Turks. Help was
furnished to about $4,000 refugees.

Then. suddenly, the Russian revo-
luton developed. The BolSheviki
abandoned the battle front and the
Turkish army advanced. 1t was
feared that the Germans would
come down the Black Sea and seize
the line from Batum to Tinis. The

this IS the only emergency that
could ever get that flag away from
me- was the emphatic admonition
of the donor of the colors.
Then followed the formal cere-
mony of the mounting of the colors
over the great fortification at the
hands of Col. McCabe. The impress
siveness of the formal hoisting of
Old Glory above that once great
German stronghold is difficult of de-
scription; every military detail was
present. The troops in parade for
nation, a big fleet of American
aeroplanes maneuvering in the bril-
liant sunshine, and the rendition of
the National Anthem by the full
regim entail band proclaimed to the
world the everlasting downfall of
the lamparts which since their oc-
cupation by the legions of julius
Caesar have been the bulwarks of
monarchy.
The incident of the colors is but
one of scores of episodes in the rec
ord of war workers in the new oc-
cupied land of the A. E. l.. From
every outpost, from every leave area,
and from every garrison daily re-
ports indicate that the final months

Combing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is TO dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most If not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work

Coblenz, Germany, April TO-
When the Seventeenth Field Artil-
lery commanded by Col. e. r. w.
McCabe moved into the ancient fort
ress of Ehrenbreitstein, where for
many generations the imperial col
ors of the Hohenzollerns had waved
from the great flagstaff a defiance to
the whole world, it was discovered
to the dismay of the new garrison
that the unit did not possess a ma
tional standard to proclaim from the
taHest parapet the passing of the
Teuton stronghold.
Couriers were sent to every shop
in the city of Coblenz in a forlorn
hope that in some dark corner an
American flag might have survived
the days when Germany paid honor
to visiting official and military dele
cations from the western republic
The search, however, was fruitless
and the formal occupation of the
fortress seemed destined to be with
out Its chief ceremonial, the hosting
of the colors.

FALL OF ODESSA
BOLSHEVIK GAIN
Gives Them Big Resources of
Grain, Coal and
Minerals
BY Associated Press.

Paris. April 1O.-The chief cause
of anxiety in connection with the
evacuation of Odessa by the allies
and it's occupation by Bolsheviki lies
in the fact that the most fertile re-
gions in southern Russia have fallen
into the hands of the Bolshevilii
forces, giving them immense re-
sources of grain. coal and minerals.
The reason for the Allies retire
ment was the constantly increasing
menace of the Bolshevik soldiery
against the allied garrison, which
was able to maintain its upplies
with the greatest difficulty. The
commander then decided to with
draw his troops numbering approXi-
mately $4,000. The troops retired to
Rumania and Constantinople.
The situation in Rumania and Po-
land is far from reassuring, even
when these additional troops to help
form Gordon against the spread of
Bolshevism. Both Rumanians and
Poles require the largest measure of
aid from the allies in providing them
with food, military equipment and or
ganization.
1t is regarded as essential in COM
petent quarters that General Hal
ried eastward as soon as possible,
for otherwise. it is pointed out, there
is a possibility of the formation Of
a great Bolshevist bloc consisting Of
Russians. HunEaridns and Germans,
which would be so powerful that i'm
mense forces would be required to
resists it.
Statesmen of various countries
gathered in Paris discussed the Odes-
sa question with considerable in
quietude to-day and it was expected
that it would form the subject of dis
cussion among the delegates to the
peace conference.
1t was remarked in semi-official
circles that reports received from
Russia previous to the evacuation of
Odessa had shown Bolshevism :here
to be on the downgrade owing to the
gradual exhaustion of funds and
lack of supplies. But the acquisition
of Odessa and surrounding districts
by the Bolsheviki has given them
new lease on life and placed in their
power the means to crush, temporar-
lily / least. the rising strength of
those groups who are contesting most
vigorously the Bolshevik progress.

shell-fire from the Czech army. Bull

taken up for the Czechs, who were
hailed as heroes and deliverers.
when the Bolsheviki had the
city we would see them lying in the
streets. They were always chewing
sun-fiower seeds"
Mr.. Compton said he had never
seen any Bolshevik atrocities but he
had seen proclamations issued by
the Bolsheviki declaring they would
butcher the people If they captured
the city. He said that once Boil

would be better than their present

American consul advised all the
Americans to leave at once, and a
special train conveying sixty for
eigners finally arrived at Baku on
the Caspian Sea. There they were
caught in Il battle between Bolshev-
Xxi and Armenians on one side and
Tartars on the other. The street in
which they lived was dominated by
Tartars who sprayed the roadway
with machine-gun bullets. For three
days they did not dare leave the
house and had only bread to live
on. Eventually, by paying a high
price, they were able to charter a
special steamer for Astrakhan,

the Nolga. I'VE had to sleep on

the families of the crew slept in the

then we went up to Samara. The
others went on to Nladivostok. The
Bolsheviki were in possession of Sa-
