House to Repeal
War Measures
Action Suggested as Sub
stitute for q Formal
Declaration of Peace

WASHINGTON, Dec 8.--Legislation
repeating the espionage, food control
and some other wartime laws is being
drafted by Chairman Porter of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee,
who, at the suggestion of House lead
ers, recently had series Of confer
ences on the subject with Attorney
General Palmer
Repeal Of most wartime measures,
except the prohibition law and the act
creating the Office of Alien Property
Custodian, would not be opposed by
the Department of Justice, Mr.. Porter
said to-day. House leaders believe re-
peal OF the wartime restrictions would
be better means of restoring the pre-
war status than would the passage OF
either joint or a concurrent resolu-
ton declaring the war with Germany
at an end.
"The problem is to do away with a
Prussianized America" Mr.. Porter said
land the repeal of certain wartime
enactments is the logical outlet. The
people have right to enjoy the free
dom, liberty and privileges extended
under the Constitution"

Berger Polls Heavy Vote
In Milwaukee Primary
Republican Fusion Candidate
Gets o.2OO. Less Than Half of
Anti-Berger Strength
,SnerinI Cot.rnen01


MILWAUKEE, Dec. 8-Apparently
every city in the country but Milwau-
kee is interested in the fight to pre-
vent Victor L. Berger from being elect
ed to Congress. In the nominating
primary here to-day Berger received
l4oo4 votes, and Henry H. Bodenstab,
epubiican-Fusion candidate. polled
only 1882 votes. They Will be nomi-
nees at the special election on Decem-
Der 10 to fill the vacancy created by
the refusal of Congress to seat Berger
The Berger vote to-day was within
$500 of his total at the general cleo
ton in 1918. The anti Berger vote at
that election. divided between two can
didates. totalled $4,000, yet Bodenstab
polled less than half that vote o-day
Fusionists explain that the primary
was not q real test, and only the So
cialists tried to draw out their full
strength.
The frat returns tonight ran heavy
for Bodenstab, but these were from
ncA-Socialist precincts. The Sd Ward,
where 90 per cent Of the voters are of
Italian descent. went almost solidly for
Berger. The 1st and 18th wards. the
silk stocking" district, also went
heavily for Berger, and returns from
the Socialist strongholds showed that
the voters there thought as much of
their candidate as they ever did.

OF Legislators Beaten
Increase for Judges of Court
of Appeals Also Defeated in
State Election

ALBANY. Dec. 8.-Salaries of the
members of the Legislature and judges
of the Court of Appeals will remain at

feated in the recent state election.

crease legislators salaries from $1,000
to $3,5O0 for Senators and $4,000 for
sssemb ymen was 625,S81 in favor and

returns. The proposed increase in sal
aries of Court of Appeals judges was
lost by vote of 600, 1853 to 607,600.
An amendment relating to the drain
age of swamp lands was carried by a
vote of 1880 to 590 134. The amend
ment providing for absentee voting was
acrried, 787,076 to 534,703. Both
amendments become effective January
l, 1920.
The amendments to increase salaries
were favored in the City of New York.
but were beaten up state. The greater

an increase for legislators and 375,677
to 268,89S for raising the salaries Of
the judges.

WASHINGTON Bureau

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The Su-

day. 1t failed to hand down a de-

1t is uncertain when the decision

appealed from New York and Kentucky
cases under advisement for more than
two weeks. The decision now is ex-

Homecoming Soldier
Finds Father a Suicide
Bursts Into Home Only to
Stumble Over Parent Dead
of Knife Wounds

PATERSON, N. j.. Dec. 8.-A ghastly
welcome awaited Joseph Candall of
the A. f. F. when he arrived here to-
day direct from duty overseas and
hurried home to surprise his father.
So set had been the soldier on max
ing a dramatic return that he had not
notified his parent that he had landed
in America. No one answered his
knocking at the door of 45 Jersey
Avenue, and, finding it ajar, he walked
into the house.
He shouted for his father, but only
the echoes of the building answered
him. AS he entered the dining room
he stumbled against something on the
floor 1t was the body of his parent,
Patrick Candall, in q great dark blot on
the carpet.
There were deep cuts in the mans
abdomen, and beside the body lay the
penknife with which the police say
he inflicted them. No reason has been
found for the act. The elder Candall's
wife and three children are in Italy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.--A peace
time regular army of 100000 men and
5000 officers was decided on to-day by
the House Military subcommittee
headed by Representative Anthony,
Republican, of Kansas, framing the
army Reorganization bill. The number
of combat troops was fixed at 250OO0.
The subcommittee proposal would
leave it to the President to divide the
forces into infantry. cavalry and artil-
lery units at his discretion.
The provision for $4,000 officers,
many more than needed for an army
of 300,0 900 men, was framed in order to
give 1900 to 16OO extra as instructors
for the National Guard and reserve
officers training corps units. Both the
guard and the training corps would be
greatly enlarged under the committed IS
plans, as only 800 officers now are
needed as instructors.

Protocol Must Be Signed
Without Further Delay.
Germany Is Warned
in r eply to Protest
Certain Provisions
Modified Slightly
Effect of Penalties for
Scapa Flow Sinkings
w ill Be Considered

PARIS, Dec. 8 (By The Associated
Press) 1.-The Allies have consented to
modify some of the terms of the pro-
tocol putting into effect the peace
treaty to which Germany has made OBJ
jeStion.
The Supreme Councils notes dealing
with the treaty were delivered to
Baron Won Lersner, head of the Ger
man delegation, this evening.
The first note denies the German
demands for modification of the treaty
on the surrender of Germans charged
with crimes against international war
fare and the return of prisoners. 1t
agrees to consider the economic effects
on Germany of indemnities required
for the sinking of the warships in the
Scapa Flow in "a spirit of equity, after
a hearing by the Reparations Commis-
sion"
The note warns Germany "for the
last time" that denunciation OF the
armistice would give the Allied armies
all latitude for necessary military
measures, and adds: 'In this spirit we
protocol and the exchange of ratifca-
tions.''
'Pretended Right" Rejected
Regarding the coercion clause of the
protocol, the Supreme Council consid-
ratification of the treaty will make the
treaty effective. and that the protocols
execution will be guaranteed by the
general terms of the treaty and by Or
dnarily recognized methods. 1t re-
jects the Germans "pretended right"
to modification of the treaty clauses as
compensation for the absence of Amer
leans from the commissions. 1t de-
clares that at is vain for Germany to
seek to delay" the treaty's effective
ness because of the position of the
Americans with regard to the commits
sicns.
The second note deals entirely with
the Scapa Flow incident. 1t places the
responsibility on the Germans for the
sinkings and sees in the protest only
"an attempt. difficult to explain, to
delay the treaty"
Secret Message Cited
The note gives the secret message Of
(Admiral Won Trotha) to Admiral Won
Reuter-, in command of the German
crews of the Scapa flow ships. dated
May, telling him that the fleets dispo-
sition cannot be decided without US;
it will be finished by us and delivery
to the enemy avoided"
LONDON, Dec. 8.--Andrew Bonar
Law, the Government spokesman, de-
clared in the House of Commons to-day
that there was little reason to doubt
that the communications proceeding
between the Allied and associated pow
ers and Germany with reference to the
immediate ratification of the peace
treaty would have a satisfactory issue.

LESS MEAT IF BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take a glass of Salts to hush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly bacllache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, CON-
stipstion, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with hthia,
and has been used for generations TO
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent hthia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

We observe that our friend, B. B.
Lane of Fort Lauderdale, at the meet
ing of the State Teachers Associa-
tion, presented two propositions. One
is, he wants compulsory school at
tendance, which is Prussian and not
American, tho it doubtless suits the
swarm of small-bore educators who
would find it easier to govern our
schools by force than by tact and
scholarship. The other is, he wants
pensions for teachers who have taught
until they can't hold their jobs any
longer. This is the plainest proof yet
OF what the Star has maintained, that
the teachers are trying to form an
autocracy. To this time, no class in
America except soldiers and sailors,
who have risked their lives and re-
ceived wounds in defense of their
country, and their dependent rela-
tons, have ever received pensions,
and no other class has a right TO
them. What right has teacher to a
pension any more than a preacher,
who works for a much lower remu-
neration, until he is superannuated;
anu yet just GhlLh "LaI a hO"I "ouAd
go up if proposition was made to
pension old preachers out of the pub
lie treasury. What right has a teacher
to a pension any more than a doctor,
who always does thousands of dollars
worth of work he is never paid for,
and generally works till he drops?
What right, for that, has a teacher to
a pension any more than farmer,
mechanic or business man who does
are not drafted; they don't have to be
teachers if they don't want to; and if
they don't want to take the same
chance with the rest of US of laying
up enough to keep them out of the
poorhouse, let them do something
else.

The reason why the city is so hard
up is because a great many people
don't pay their taxes. There are two
reasons why people don't pay their
taxes. One is that some of them
can't. The other is that many of
them won't. The guileless bunch of
hayseeds sprinkled with corrupt law
yers that have been the principal
components of Florida legislatures
have SO framed our laws that man
can't be compelled to pay his taxes.
There is such thing as a city becem-
ing bankrupt, however, of its losing
its credit, and the result to it's citizens
will be not only disgraceful, but in
