SPRINGFIELD, MASS-This
is a picture of little Eugene
Bertuca of 2lO Williams ST.,
Springfield, Mass.
He is one of a family of eight
children.
His mother says: "He owes his
health to Father Johns Medi-
cine, l am sure"
At various times in the last ten
years she has used it for all of
the children.
She says, They were terribly
sick with measles, chicken-pox
and whooping cough, one disease
after the other, and were in a
terrible weakened condition
when l gave them Father Johns
Medicine, when the doctor was
about to give them up, and in a
very short time they showed a
great improvement and kept it
up. Now we always get it when
we see one of them at all sick"
(Signed) Mrs. Frank Bertuca, 2l0
Williams ST., Springfield. Mass.
Thousands of mothers feel the
same confidence in Father Johns
Medicine because they know it
is free from alcohol and all dan
gerous drugs, and is therefore
safe to give to every member
of the family. It has been sue
eessfully used for over IS years.

PEKING. China. August 1s.-The
chief secretary Of the cabinet says
that there is no truth in the report
that the Japanese legation is negoti-
ating for settlement of the Shan
tung question The government, he
says, has decided to leave it's settle
nent to the league of nations. 1t
was impossible to discuss the ques-
ton with Japan, as it would preju-
olce Chlna's cause by giving the i'm
preston that Japan had rights, and
that China does not admit.
Other officials claim that the Japa-
nese are securing economic rights
which will prevent China's Industrial
and economic development. and that
by securing them along with Shan
tung Japan will get ten times as much
as the war cost her. The strongest
Keeling is being shown in the matter.

Union Of
 Policemen Improbable
Bridgeport Policemen Deny They Have Any Griev-
 ances to Adjust. NO INTENTION
 TO ORGANIZE

Complete satisfaction on the part of the police officers of this city as to their working conditions, cause it to appear decidedly improbable that a police union will be organized in Bridgeport. It has been rumored that the trouble among the Boston police has spread to this city, but the police men of Bridgeport themselves are em- phatic in denying that they have any grievances whatsoever or any inten- tions of forming a union.
 We are getting fair money, and we've got good jobs,'' declared one patrolman recently. "When we're perfectly satisfied how is there going to be any cause for a kick or the formation of a union?"
 This statement seems to express the sentiment of the entire Bridge port police department, and with such condition existing. local citizens are given no grounds to fear that their lives or property will be put in jeo- pardy by a strike on the police force.
 Superintendent John H. Redgate stated some time ago, that he had not given the matter the slightest thought inasmuch as there was no apparent reason for even suspicion ing a union movement among local police officers.

Danbury figured quite largely fin the number of divorce applications put in for the September term of the superior court at the county court house today. The most prominent couple involved are the John Me Iachlans. They were married on Feb ruary II, 1911, and he alleges in his complaint that she deserted him on March 30, 1915. At the present time she is a resident of Zephyr Hills, Pasco county, Fla.
 Another injured husband hailing from the hat city is seeking his free dom. Frances F. Forasco alleges his wife. Laura O'DeIl. who he married December 24. 1907, has been guilty of misconduct with one John Leddy. In his complaint he sets the time as be- tween January and August 1 of the present year. Morasco asks for a divorce and the custody of ten year old son.

ALLEGED LABOR
 ACITATORS ARE
 nSAWIN(, WOOD''

The time limit for the labor agita- tors in Bridgeport to leave town, as provided in ;he police ultimatum is sued last Thursday has expired. The men who were warned to clear out are still in the city. and the polica have apparently done nothing to hasten their exit. It appears that the police will have to make some definite move in the near future if they wish to enforce their own cor ders Both sides were sitting tight today.
 When questioned this morning as 10 whether any new moves had been made against the a3itators, Superin- tendent John H. Redgate, of the po- lice department, declared that noth- ing new along those lines had been done. The superintendent would not discuss the matter further than say ing that nothing new had occurred. He refused to affirm or deny the re- port that Samuel Lavit is among the labor men who have been ordered 70 quit Bridgeport.

A score of local unions all ready have voted to stand by the pO- licemen. Frank N.

 DID NOT KEEP HIM FROM THEFT

Joseph Gaida, 19, of IFS East Main street, who was arrested Friday night. charged with stealing goods from a number of local business concerns, was bound over to the Superior court under $1.5OO bonds. by Judge Wilder in the City court this morning.
 No cause for the young mans sfall from grace can be discovered by the police. It is said that he has bank account amounting to more than S1,- 500, and was in no way forced to com init the thefts with which he is charged. The only possible reason for the burglaries, a near as the po- lice can figure. is the possibility that the young man desired more money in order to take a fling at the high life" Gaida is a former employee of the Columbia Graphopfone company, but he went out on a strike when trouble broke out in that plant.

GERMANY IS STILL A
 MENACE ID FRANCE
 AND WORLDS PEACE
Senate Judiciary Comm. in Reporting on Spec ial Treaty Whereby America Would Pro- tect France Warns of Future Aggression.

Washington, Aug. 25-While Germany has been vanquished for the present, nothing but force is likely to restrain her from seeking world domination at the earliest opportunity" in the opinion of the Senate judi ciary subcommittee appointed 10 report on the validity of the proposed treaty by which the United States would go to the aid of France in the event of an unprovoked attack by Ger many.
 In holding that ratification of the special defensive treaty is within the constitutional powers of the treaty making bodies of the American gov ernment, the subcommittee, in its report submitted today to the full committee said it was for the inter- est of the United States that France be allowed to recuperate and recover her old time vigor.
 She will then, said the report, be a great shield and protection to us against the German menace in the future"
 The report was written by Sena- tor Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, in collaboration with Senators Nelson and Kellogg. both of Minnesota, and Fall of New Mexico. Republicans, and Senator Oyerman, of North Car olina. Democrat. constituting the sub. committee
 "It will be seen" the report said that the covenant only aims at pro- lection against Germany and that 1t is of a temporary character to be merg- cd in and substituted by the authority of the League of Nations when that is established and put into operation.
 AS the authority covers the ground between the end of the war and the ratification of the treaty of peace. so the treaty in question aims to cover the ground from the time of the adop- ton of the treaty until the League of Nations. provided for in the treaty. can take it's place. In other words, the treaty in question is of a temporary character to he merged in the final treaty of peace.
 such a treaty is clearly warranted by international law and usage and is therefore within the scope of the treaty making power of the United States"
