II came here because I wished
to associate myself in counsel with
the men who | knew had felt deep

cause | realized, l believed. that
Belgium and her part in the war
is in one sense the key of the whole
struggle. because the violation of
Belgium was the call to duty which
aroused the nations.
The enemy committed many
outrages in this war. gentlemen,
but the initial outrage was the
fundamental outrage of all. They.
with an insolent indifference. VIC
lated the sacredness OF treaties.
EThey showed that they did not
care for the independence of any
nation, whether it had raised the
hand against them or not; that
they were ruthless in their deter
mination to have their within at
their pleasure.
awakened the World
Therefore, it was the violation
of Belgium that awakened the
world to their realization of the
character of the struggle. A very
interesting thing came out of that
struggle, which seems almost like
an illogical consequence.
One of the first things the rep
rsentatives of Belgium said to me
after the war began was that they
did not want their neutrality guar
anteed; they did not want any
neutrality. They wanted equality.

They have put the whole power
of organized mankind behind this
conception of justice which is COM

That is the significance. gentle
men, of the league of nations. The
league of nations was an inevita-

wish for a moment to slacken

their neutrality was insecure. but
not because. as I understand them.
because their neutrality put them
upon a different basis of action
from other peoples in their natural
and proper pride.

TWO MILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION FORMED
 ID CULTIVATE FARM
Two Hundred Thousands Acres to be Placed in Cultivation; Big Finan. cierS Incorporates.

Great Falls, Mont, Jan. 9.-Wheat will be harvested next fall from one of the worlds largest farms ccn,- prising about 100000 acres of Indian lands ill Montana and Wyoming. of this big tract, about 33,000 acres of irrigated land have been ployel and seeded, and the remainder it is an nounce will be cultivated during the coming summer.
 The land is located on the Crew, Blackfeet and Fort Peck rese,va tions in Montana and the Wins fl:rr reservation in Wyoming. To make this land productive :. corporat;on with s2,oOOyD0O capital was organ ized last spring when Thomss D. Campbell, a North Dakota farmer, conceived the idea of cultivaGng the thousands of acres of the Indian lands in Montana and Wyoming. He lacked capital but obtained the ar- proval and assistance of the secre- retary of the Interior, Frank l.. Lane. and J. P Morgan and other elading New York bankers. The corporation was then formed with seevral of these bankers as members of the board of directors and Mr. Campbell as president.
 On this huge farm not tor ;e will be used. Instead. large trac- tors capable of turning over lareg quantities of prairie sod were Dur. chased. In all 5 of these machines are now the property of the ccrpor- ation, and the blowing record for last summer was m)re than one acre minute for tho working time. On one day 1880 acres were turned and broken.
 It is proposed to organize the farm into 5000 acre N.;:s, each

 Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or Ia. a.her, forments the same as food left in the ocen air, says noted authority. He also tells us that indigestion is caused by' excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete di- gestion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach, much like garbage suurs in can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the s;oI,ach like toy baloon Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest. we belch up gas, we eructo.c sour food or have heartburn, flatulencc watCr-brash of nausea.

SEN. lAFOlLE11E Is FREE 0F O|SL0YALIY
 CHARGES BY SENATE
Wisconsin Senator Severely Arraign- ed by Williams, Who Characterized Speech as Lies and Calumny.

Washington, Jan. 16.-By vote of 50 to 21, the Senate today adopted a resolution recommended by a major ity of the privileges and elections committee dismissing disloyalty charges brought against Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, by the Minneso- ta public safety commission, because of his speech on the war, delivered before the Non-P Partisan League at St. Paul, Minn., September 20th, 1917. The resolution said the speech did not justify Any action by the Senate.
 On the vote, which was preceded by severe arraignment of Senator LaFollette by Senator Williams, of Mississippi, thirty-three Republican Senators and IT Democrats supported the resolution, while twenty Demo- crats and one Republican, Senator Smith, of Michigan, voted against it.. Among those voting in the affirma- tive were Senator Martin, the Demo- cratic Leader, Senator Lodge, the Republican Leader, and the two Minnesota Senators Kellogg and Nell son.
 Those opposing the resolution in cluded Chairman Pomerene, of the privileges and elections committee, and Senator Salisbury, of Delaware, President pro tenn, of the Senate.
 During most of the proceedings, Senator LaFollette occupied his seat at the front center aisle, chewing a cigar and with face set sternly.
 Senator Williams, in a vigorous ad dress declared Senator LaFollette's $ speech at St. Paul was disloyal in spirit, words, intention ana effect MT. Williams said the Wisconsin Senator had charged that the United States went to war to protect "Mor- gan interests" and in order that rich Americans might ride on munition ships. Denouncing these charges as "lies," the Mississippi Senator declar- ed they were "a calumny and islander upon the American people,"
 Senator Dillingham;, in charge of the majority committee report, re- piled that the committee had studied all of the documents-not the frag- mentary statements referred to by Senator Williams-for fourteen months and upon non-partisan vote had reached the decision that the speech taken as whole, did not justi- fy any action by the Senate.
