There was a great debate in Boston
the other night between Henry Cabot
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, and President
A. Lawrence Lowell, Of Harvard uni
versity, on the advisability Of Ameri-
can ratification Of the proposed league
of nations as part Of the peace
treaty. Both debaters are Republicans.
Senator Lodge is commonly regarded
as the ablest leader Of the Republican
party, and easily one Of the strongest
men in the sente. He Is opposed to
the league Of nations. President Low
ell has no particular reputation as
debater; but is recognized as one of
the worlds foremost authorities in in
law. The debate develop
ed that the difference between the pro-
togonists was really not very great;
that both were in favor Of union OF
nations and the ending of war; but
there was difference between them as
to whether the present proposed agree
ment was calculated to accomplish the
end desired. Senator Lodge was op-
posed to the league plan as now draft
ed because it was not clear enough in
the matter Of how much authority
majority of the members might have
in overriding the principles of the
Monroe doctrine or in specifying the
mandatory duties Of the United States.
The principal point he made was that
if the league Of nations had been In
existence then France could not nave
helped the United States acquire her
independence and the United States
could not have helped in the liberation
of Cuba. President Lowell agreed that
the constitution of the league is am
biguous in its terms; but insisted that
it's application must necessarily De
along the line of its we'll understood
general purpose, and that each nation
would be bound only in so far as it felt
this general purpose was being SUD-
served. AS to the proposition with re-
gard to American independence and
Cuban independence, he said that II
the league of nations bad been IN oper-
alton at that time neither Of the wars
in question could have occurred. II
is not claimed by the partisans OF eth
er side that the debate was won" by
either Senator Lodge or President
Lowell; but there is conviction that
tho debate has helped to clarity the
situation to u greater or less extent.

statement Saturday night saying that
a special meeting would be held be-
for June to consider the action OF the
116 undergraduates of the university,
who signed a petition asking for the
dismissal Of DR.. William Spencer Cur

The Good Road Situation.-Capt. ].
Roy Pennell, state highway engineer.
is quoted as saying that little IL any
thing has been lost by the failure Of
the legislature to pass q good roads
bill at the last session, since the coun-
tries that are able to put up the mon
nv can get about all the federal aid
they want in building roads without
any further action of the legislature.
We suspected as much all along.
There Is really not much need for a
state good roads scheme. The coun-
ties can work out their own salvation
II they will, and we doubt the wisdom
Of trying to force good roads on peo-
Dle If they do not want them. The
people can be led but not driven, and
there has been in evidence disposi-
ton to drive the legislature into ap-
vast sum Of money for
rood roads without any very definite
idea Of how the money is going to be
expended.

Americans Credit Bolshevist With
Humane Treatment of Prisoners
Recent developments in the Dvina
river sector, according to an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Archangel,
indicate that Bolshevik are trying to
change the conduct Of their uncon-
troled detachments who have been ac-
cused Of killing and maltreating prts-
oners. An American officer, after a
long stay in the Tulgas region, de-
clared today that the campaign there
is at the present time Civilized war
fare"
On a Bolshevik prisoner he said was
found copy Of an order directing
that all prisoners should be treated
kindly, especially the wounded, as In
many instances they were the sources
Of valuable information.
In this sector where the patrols fire.
quently traverse the same paths OF
the forest hollow stump Is the bat
tie zone postofflce for the exchange OF
information regarding prisoners. Let
ters have been placed there from some
scouts taken by the Bolsheviki say
ing that they were well.
A former Bolshevik nurse who elec-
ted to stay with the Americans after
valiantly carrying her wounded lover,
a Bolshevik officer, to a hospital on
the upper Tulgas in the November IL
battle and who had previously pre-
vented Bolshevik soldiers from mall
treating American and British wound
ed, has written to the Bolshevik au-
thorities that Bolshevik prisoners held
by the Allies in Archangel are being
well treated and well fed.
The Archangel newspapers publish
many citations Of decorations award
ed to the new Russian troops Of the
provisional government for bravery IN
action. The mobilization has been
success beyond all expectations, ac-
rording to the russian staff, and
Russian troops are in the front lines
IN nearly every sector fighting beside
the Americans, British and French.
The Woman's Patriotic Union or
ganized at Archangel is arranging to
send woman workers to the front to
care for the Russian troops.
Headquarters reports that the sit
uation in all sectors was without
change today.

The Blairsville second team defeated
Sharon in a game Of basketball on the

noon, by a score Of 10 to 5.
An Original Package.
Mr.. Joe S. Sanders, who lives on Mr..
E. T. Carson's place, five miles south
of Yorkyille, made a curious find last
Friday in the shape Of pint bottle OF
corn whisky, that was probably pousnt @
from the old dispensary hardiy less
than fourteen years ago. Mr.. SANDERS
was engaged in clearing up some un-
derbrush a short distance from the
house, and when his axe struck some
thing of a flinty nature at the foot OF
a cedar tree, he investigated lurtnel;
TO find a bottle buried under seVeral
inches of leaves and trash. The pottie
was standing upright, and althousn
the wax with which it had once peen
scaled had crumbled away, the cork
was still good, and the contents OF the
bottle. which Mr.. Sanders thinks IS
"Fust x" remain intact. IL Is Quite
evident that the bottle came from Ihe
south Carolina dispensary, ana tne
probability is that it had peen restins
in the place where it was found tor a'
least fourteen years.

Says glass of hot water With

washes out poisons.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom

clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or q nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out, just
try inside-bathing every morning for
one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink a
glass Of real hot water with a teaspoon
ful Of limestone phosphate in it as a
harmless means of washing from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
swGetening and purifying the entire
alimentAry canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigoratsug 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases and acidity and
gives one a splendid appetite for break
fast.
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
plate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, sweetens and freshens the
skin, so hot water and limestone phos-
phate act on the blood and internal or
cans. Those who are subject to con-
stipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach,
rheumatic twinges, also those whose
skin is sallow and complexion pallid,
are assured that one week of inside
bathing will have them both looking
and feeling better in every way.
