The setting up of an Independent re-
public in the Rhine provinces, with DR..
Hans A. Dorten as president, has still
further increased the bitterness be-
tween France and Germany. The Ber-
lin government, Of course, refused to
recognize the new state and ordered
the prosecution of Dorten for high
treason. Then the Germans claimed
to have discovered that the scheme
was fostered and aided by the French
and that Marshal Foch and Premier
Clemenceau had told the Rhinelanders
that "the German government would
never again have anything to do with
the propagandists could not be pun
ished." The Berlin press said the
French had propaganda fund of ST.
100000 and were using it to bribe the
people of Rhineland and the Palatinate
to favor the independent republic. 1t is
true that the French look with favor
on the new state and apparently they
will, so far as possible, protect it from
the Ebert government. General Man
gin, commanding the French army of
occupation at Mayence, has forbidden
strikes and other disturbances directed
against the Rhenish republic. The
German government formally protest
ed to the armistice commission against
the course pursued by the French. The
British and Americans in the occupied
territory, it was said, were taking no
part in the affair and would take none.

The reply Of the Austrians to the
terms of the peace treaty handed to
them was dignified, rather pathetic
and almost hopeless plea by Chancellor
Karl Renner for conditions that would
permit the German-Austrian republic
to live and to organize for the exist
ence Of an Independent commonwealth.
He outlined the history Of its estab-
lishment and argued that it has no re-
lation with the former empire Of the
Hapsburgs. His country, he urged,
should be treated as considerably as
the other nations that have sprung
from the Danube monarchy. Like the
Germans, he made frequent reference
to the fourteen points, and so did the
Vienna papers when the terms were
given to the public. The press de-
clared the terms were cruelty harsh
and much anger was shown against
the Italians, Czechs and Jugo-Slavs.
The people generally were bitterly dis
appointed to find that they were not
being treated much better than the
Germans, and big meeting of protest
was held. The public view was ex-
pressed by Doctor Treicnl, a banker
who said: 'The only thing for the Aus
TRAN people is to say: we might as
well join with Germany, as we are
companions in misfortune. We have
nothing to lose by doing so.'"
The grand council of German Aus
tria adopted the report Of DR.. Otto
Bauer, which was to the effect that
the peace terms meant the death SEN
tence Of the Austrian republic.

bottles of Tanlac have done him more
good than everything else comoined-
His statement follows:
Nothing ever helped me until I got
Tanlac and now I'm just like man
made over. My stomach had been in
very had fix for eleveR years or
more. After nearly every meal 4
would bloat up with gas until l was as
tight a drum and just suffer agony.
My nerves became all shattered and
my health got so poor that 1 was
forced to quit work. No kind of medi-
cine seemed to reach my trouble and
I was going down hill very fast. L

money l had saved UP. l returned

while talking to a good friend one
day about my deplorable condition be
told me he believed few bottles or
Tanlac would straighten me up. Wen.
/ had little faith in il to help me. but
as my friend seemed To know what he
was talking about. l decided to take
his advice. and to my surprise the first
bottle of Taniac stopped the gas form
ing in my stomach and put me In
shape to where i could eat and enjoy
my meals. My food began to digest

BOLIVAR STILL PROTESTS
Hearing on Road Vacation Held by
/ County Commissioners.

County Commissioners.
The board of county commissioners
are still hearing arguments in the
case of c. p. Bolmar, a local real
estate man, who is protesting against
the vacation of Ward avenue, in Bel
voir addition, where the Rock Island
Railroad company is building its new
yards. The Rock Island now owns all
the land along it's tracks in that vicin-
ity with the exception of two five-acre
tracts bordering on the Kaw river on
the west line of BeIvoir and some time
ago they asked that Ward street.,
connecting Bolmar's land with the
city, be vacated on account of the dam
ger travellers would be placed in on
account of switch engines and for 9TH
er reasons. No one would have occa-
sion to use this street. they argue. eN-
cept to go to Bolmar's land, and this
could be reached by going couple
of blocks north to Winters street, they
day.
This morning County Attorney Fish
er was called upon by the commission
ers to listen to the arguments. 1t was
brought out that some time ago Boil
mar and two other property owners in
the vicinity signed a petition asking
that the street be vacated and declar-
| ing that it would not injure any pub
| lie or private properties. a few days
| later Bolmar filed written notice with
| the board that he had withdrawn from
the petition and that he protested
| against the closing of the streets. 1t
| is said that he stated he would consent
to the vacation of the street in con-
sideration of $500 from the Rock
| Island.
Fisher stated that in his opinion the
| case hinged on whether BoImar had a
right to withdraw from the petition
after he had signed it and it had been
published; that in any case he believed
| the commissioners, in deciding the
case, should take into consideration
Bolmars first declaration. Bolmar
argues that the commissioners must
| be guided by the law only, regardless
of his apparent change of opinion.
