With the return of Premier Lloyd
George to Paris the peace delegates
took up the consideration of the treaty,
tackling first the question of the dis
armament of the enemy, naval and
military, which was lifted from the
armistice terms and will become a part
of the peace pact. AS framed by the
commission. this clause will effectually
safeguard the world against aggression
by the Huns for a long time. AS was
expected, the amount of money to be
exacted in reparation has been cut
down greatly. but it still stands at an
enormous sum. The commission on
the matter of the western frontier was
said to have virtually finished its work.
France may not get all her most en-
thusiastic citizens hoped for, but an
adequate buffer between her and Ger
many will be provided by the creation
of the neutraliZed strip along the west
bank of the Rhine.

well as other places. The Reds keep
up their method of starting strikes, and
in addition are said to be trying to
open up the way through Koenigsberg,
East Prussia. for the entry of their
bolshevik brothers from Russia. This
move was temporarily checked by the
sending of strong forces of troops.
Government soldiers also operated eff
fectively in Berlin, where the Sparta
cans were trying to get possession or
the police stations but were routed
by artillery fire. The government press
predicted that the workingmen and the
government would reach an agreement
and that the general strike would fail,
leaving the most radical Reds as the
only malcontentS. The government
has proposed that the soldiers and
workingmen's council be made an or
ganic part of the governmental sys-

being constructed at Weimar.

That Ebert government, by the way,
is becoming rather cOcky in its attitude
toward the allies. The cabinet held
meeting the other day with party lead
ers and others and all agreed that
Germany could not submit to coercion
from the entente powers in the ar
mistice negotiations or in the peace
pourparlers. 1t was declared that the
government would decline responsible
ity for possible consequences ''if the
entente tries to speculate on German
patience" The demands Of the allies
for the immediate surrender of mer-
chant shipping were held to be mac
ceptable because they would 'paralyze
the country's economic future" and the
dismissal of German crews from the
ships requisitioned was also OBJ
jected to.

for their action, for the Republican
leaders would have permitted the pas
sage of some of the bills, especially
that adding $750,0O0,000 to the revolv-
ing fund for railroad administration
Two measures that did get through in
the last hours were the Victory loan
and billion dollar wheat guarantee
bills. The purpose of the filibuSter
was to compel the president to call
the new congress in extra session in a
short time, and so urgent are many of
the measures that failed of passage
that it seems likely he will have to
yield to the demand When he left
America, however, he appeared as de-
termined as ever not to summon con-
gress until his return. His statement
to the public, scoring the obstruction
lists, was rather unfortunate. The peo-
pie read:
"It is not in the interest of the
right conduct of public affairs that l
should call the congress in special ses-
sion while it is impossible for me to be
in Washington, because of a more
pressing duty elsewhere, to cooperate
with the houses"
Then they Immediately recalled Mr..
Wilson's statement before his depar-
ture for France last December, that
legislation could go forward unim-
peded in his absence and that he could
keep constantly in touch with congress
by cable and wireless.
1t is the presidents own opinion
that the failure of emergency legisla-
ton will seriously upset financial con-
ditions, and because there is general
agreement on this it is predicted the
extra session of congress will be called
not later than in May. There is no
likelihood of Mr.. Wilson's being back
by that time, for he has announced his
intention of remaining abroad until the
work of the peace congress is COM
pleted.
At first it was thought the failure of
the appropriation for the railway adj
ministratiOn would result in the almost
immediate return of the roads to their
former owners, though this is desired
by neither the owners nor the general
public. Director General Hines stated
later that a new plan of financing the
situation would be devised; that an
effort would be made to prevail on the
railroads and other business interests
to borrow money necessary to enable
the administration to go forward with
It's railroad plans and that in no case
would he countenance a policy which
would slow down industry or throw
men out of employment The director
general also declared that there is no
occasion to discuss the question of re-
linquishment of the railroads.
The fact remains that the railroads
must have at least $700,000,000 before
May 81 and if they are forced to Dor
row in the market the success of the
Victory loan will be jeOpardized.

WORKING ON DIXIE HIGHWAY
"a Illinois improvement Will Extend
+ Over Distance of 54.5 Miles
Costing $eo4,7oo.

One of the features Of the years
work will be the Improvement Of the
Dixie highway, which will be done
by the states acting in cooperation
with the government. Thus in Hill
snois the highway will be improved
from the county line north through
viii, Kankakee and Iroquois coun-
ties to the Verrniiion county line
running south. This work will ex.
tend over a distance of 54.5 miles at
a cost of $904,700 and the construc-
ton will be of concrete and bitumi-
nous macadam.
At the same time Georgia will be
working on the road from Atlanta
through to Macon, through Clayton,
Henry, Spaulding, Pike and Monroe
counties, a distance of seventy-two
miles and a continuation of the Dixie
line in that state. In Tennessee and
Kentucky projects will be under way
which will further serve to improve
this famous old highway which cuts
through the central section Of the
country from north to south.

There is q much closer connection
between the stomach and brain than
most people imagine. 1t is because of
this close connection that indigestion,
belching, sour, gassy stomach and
other stomach miseries-all OF which
are sure signs of acid stomach-are so
often followed by severe attacks of
binding, splitting headaches.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, irritable
ity, mentaldepression, melancholia and
many other disorders which affect the
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same source --acid-storoach.
So often you hear people say II am
so nervous l think I'll fly to pieces"
or "Itseems / never get a good nights
sleep any more, my nerves are all on
edge" Little do they dream that acid
stomach is the direct cause of their
troubles because very often there are
no pains in the stomach at all. So you
see, you can't always judge an acid
stomach condition by the way your
stomach, itself, feels.

PATCHING IN RIGHT MANNER
Work Done Properly While Road 10

Superior Plan.

Patching done in the proper manner
when the road is wet, followed by
road drag, will maintain an old gravel
road surface as good as new until it is
so badly worn that an entire new sur
face is required. The gravel should
never be poorer than that forming the
surface layer of the old road, and es.
pecially should not contain an excess
of clay.

it is desirable to transfer drainage
water across the road, and they should
usually be provided with end or wing
walls for protecting the slopes of the
embankmcnt. When the material
composing the roadbed is likely to be
springy, system Of longitudinal IN
der.drainage may be found necessary
to secure proper drainage. In con-
structing road, of any type what
ever, it should be constantly borne
in mind that adequate and continu-

necessary If the road Is to be main

In his poor, tortured body, but
more towering than ever in the eyes of
men, he could hope to live only a
useless life. One arm lost and his

hospitals and prison camps of Ger

He found himself once more in

Yet. without avowing it, it !. was
from this very circumstance of re-
