while there are many forms o.
. stomach trouble" says physician
who has made special study ol
stomach disorders. 81 believe thai
fully ninety percent of these cases
are traceable to the excessive secre
ton of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach with consequent food fer
mentation, gas and delayed diges
ton.
The stomach needs certain amount
Iof acid for proper digestion, but
many people nave an unnatural ten
dency to secrete more acid than thei,
stomach requires. This excess acid
makes all the trouble.
Their stomachs are almost con-
stantly in a state of sourness and
ferment, extremely Irritating and in
flaming to the stomach lining and
most everything they eat disagrees
and turns to gas. No wonder we
have so much so-called indigestion
and dyspepsia.

loss of thousands of lives from hun
ger and malnutrition. But the allied
council is ready for them on this point
with statistics that prove the infant
mortality in German cities would have
been kept at near normal If the dis
tribution of the country's milk supply
had been efficient, since the milk pro-
duction never was below 45 per cent
of the pre-war figures. Mortality in
hospitals, due to lack of rubber and
cotton, also was cited by the Germans.
To this the allies reply that the i'm
ports Of rubber and cotton were much
in excess Of hospital requirements, but
the authorities chose to devote these
supplies to military purposes, and for
this choice the allies cannot be held re-
sponslble,
These are the outstanding points in
the counter-proposals made by the
Huns. They object, of course, to in
nummerable other clauses in the
treaty. especially the economic provi-
sions, and offer many substitutions
and notifications. 1t is not likely that
the council Of four VIII require many
days to digest the document and re-
ply to it. Then the Germans will be
required to sign the treaty within
given time, presumably before June
10. If, unexpectedly, they refuse to
sign, they will be given Y hours no
tice of the termination of the armistice
and then the blockade will be restored
with all it's former rigidity and the
allied armies of occupation will adj
vance farther into German territory.
No one pretends that the Germans
could offer serious armed resistance to
such a movement. An indication of
the unyielding spirit of the allies was
given last week when American and
British troops were landed at Danzig
and their warships began to gather
there.

and. despite the efforts of the govern

other cities of western Canada. The

while declaring they meant to occupy
that city only to relieve its suffering
inhabitants, and if recent reports from
there are reliable the relief is sadly
needed, for the people are said to be
starving to death by the thousands.
New units of the British volunteer
army arrived at Archangel and the
transports that took them were ex-
pected to bring away the American
troops that have been serving there,
and whose return has been so loudly
demanded. According to Maxim Gorky,
who was interviewed by Frazier Hunt,

At home in Germany the counter
proposals seemed to please no one.
The conservative papers denounced
them as too yielding and the radical
press said they did not yield enough.
None had much hope of their sue
cess.
According to correspondents in Ger
many, the Germans intend to sign the
treaty, but also intend to evade its
terms in every way possible. This
would mean that the allies would be
compelled to keep under arms a large
force of collectors" The German
people, as a whole, say these CORE
spondents, have adopted the position
that they will pay for the war only
what is forced out of them. They are
more united in spirit than at any time
before for several years, and cannot
be brought to see that they are de-
feated. not conquering people. In
other words, say these observers. Ger
many has not had enough whipping.

The terms of peace with Austria,
though not wholly completed, were
handed to the Austrian delegates. All
the territorial questions were included,
but certain economic arrangements
and the matter of reparation wes, left
for further consideration. 1t was
known, however, that Austria would
be required to pay about 250O,OOO,0OO
kroner indemnity. and that the pay
ment of a like sum would be apportion-
ed among Hungary, CzechO-Slavakia,
Jugo-Slavia, Roumania, Poland and
Italy. The countries that formerly
formed parts of the Austro- Hunga-
rian empire have agreed to share in
the payment of indemnity. not as en-
emies of the allies, but in recognition
of their liberation. They also will re-
deem proportionately their share of
the Austrian paper currency In circu-
lation within their boundaries. Italy
is included because Of her acquisition
Of the Trentino, Trieste and other ter
ritory that was Austrian.

In the United States senate the bat
tie over the league of nations is pro-
ceeding merrily, and on Wednesday
the Democratic national committee
took a hand. 1t unanimously adopt
ed resolutions demanding that the
league covenant be ratified by the SEN
ate, which is controlled by the Repub-
leans, and then its members indicated
that the rejection of the covenant
would not be unwelcome to them, be-
cause it would force the political is
sue.
Reed of Missouri delivered in the
senate a fierce denunciation Of the
league, in the course of which he said
the covenant meant the domination of
the white races by the black, yellow
and brown races, his appeal being
chiefly to the southern and far west
ern senators. Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas, also a Democrat, replied to
Reed and challenged him to Join him
in resigning and seeking reelection
as test of the sentiment of their
states on the league question.
Secretary Daniels, appearing be-
fore the house committee on naval af-
fairs, formally withdrew his recon-
mendation for a second three-year
program of battleship building which,
as he formerly said, was designed to
make the American navy the biggest in
the world. Last winter he told the con-
gressmen that even with league of
nations the United States should have
a navy as large as Great Britain's.
Now he says we must show our conf
dence in the efficacy of the league by
at least postponing any plans for such
a naval increase.
