WANT RUSSIANS REMOVED

London; April 10.--The German armistice commission at Spa, dis patch from Berlin today says, has addressed a note to the allies urg- ently requesting the removal to Russia of Russian prisoners of war still in Germany. The German standpoint is that the Russians are increasing the spread of disturb- aDecs in Germany.
 Tho note says that there is much discOntent among the Russian pris- oners at their continued detention, while allied prisoners were re-, turned home. The German govern ment, it is added, is appTehcnsive that the Russians will break from their camps, thus increasing the boIshevik danger in Germany.

SMALL NATIONS DIsPLEASED
 oxsd pree

Paris April 1O.--The plenary session of the peace conference tomorrow for the consideration of the labor report is awaited with much interest lhecause of the dissatisfaction existing among the smaller nations Indications are that there may be interpellatious concerning the secrecy with which the big four is surrounding itself and ruinors that T neg citations may open with the Ger mans without fully advising all the peace delegates of the terms of the treaty. Without exception the smaller nations are said to be displeased at being kept in the dark.
 The labor report is to be presented for open discussion, and consequently there will be opportunity for general debate unless steps are taken to pre- vent it.
 The council of four is strongly op- posed to official publication of the peace treaty before it's submission to the Germans. It maintains that 1t is allowing positive decisions to be an nounced and that consequently the pub lie will be advised on all the main points before the treaty is signed.
 This piecemeal and incomplete pub lication is satisfactory to many of the delegates, who are urging that the people Of the allied countries should have the text of the peace treaty from their officials before the Germans am nounce it with their interpretations.

CRITICISM OF SHUTS


 Paris, April 10.--The report of Gen Jan Christian Shuts concerning his visit to Hungary and the en-i-e cir cumstances surrounding his mission are provoking much criticism m entente circles. Although General Smuts was authorized to go to Budapest by the council of four, the nature of his mis- sion was not clearly defined.
 The French and other allied govern lncnts are provoked because the state ments of Bela Kun, Hungarian foreign minister and leader of the soviets, give thei impression that General Shuts had diplomatic standing and thaE his con- ferences with the Hungarian officials constituted recognition by the entente of the soviet government
 While the diplomatic stan ling of General Smuts is denied by virtually all the entente delegations, the impress sion is gaining ground tbat his trip to Hungary was directed chiefly by the British and that it was not sympa- thetically supported by the other allies.

But at the same time let us be wen

The flu as 1t Is called, usually starts
with a cold and tightness in the chest.
If you even suspect there Is a chance
that you may be getting influenza take
a good dose of laxative tea. such as

and send for your physician. While
YOU are waiting for the doctor rub

fammation over your entire back ana
especially between the shoulder blades.
This is one of the most sensible pre-
cautions you can take against pneu-
monia. which often quickly follows the
flu and is inst what the doctor tries
hard to sidetrack. on
You can get Begy's Mustarine for 90
and so cents in yellow boxes all reaoy
for use at any drug store.
