 Tt is understood by the United States shipping board that the Imperator, Kais- erin Auguste Victoria and six other ex- German ships now in New York were allocated to the United States under the terms of peace and the board therefore assigned these vessels to the war de- partment for the repatriation of troops. This service being now performed, the chairman of the board requested the war department to deliver the ships to the United States shipping board.

WILSON GREATEST PR0-GERMAN IN
 U. S.-P0|NDEXTER
President Is Worlds Great est Menace, Declares the Washington Senator
 in Address
Bv Associated Pres.

New York, September 27.--President Wilson was characterized as the world s greatest menace in an address by United States Senator Miles Poindexte- at mass meeting of Queens county re- publicans in Long Island City today The meeting was held to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the founding of the republican party.
 The senator from Washington, after blaming the President for delay in rati- flying the peace treaty, said he was "the greatset pro-German in the country" and that his theories and suggestions regard ing the demonstration of industry had encouraged radical labor leaders to at tempt to bring about a dictatorship of the proletariat," which means the final overthrow of our republican form of gov- ernment"
 Referring to the Presidents imputation that certain opponents of the peace treaty and covenant were ''pro-Germans and bol- shevists," MT Pondexter entered a viz orous disclaimer, declaring at the same time the President was forced into the war against the Germans by ire sistble public opinion in opposition to
 
 precipitate negotiated peace and thus defeat the aims of the allies"
 LEADER OF REDS
 '"The reds of the world regard him as their leader" asserted Senator Poin- dexter His abuse of power in coming to the rescue of the dynamiter Mooney in California, the murderer Hilstrom in Utah. the anarcnlst Robert Minor In France, ana in attempting to set aside the processes of civil and military Jus- tice in the punishment of these criminals. has justified the anarchists and reyolu- tionists in looking upon him as thelr friend.''
 The senator attributed to the President a statement in an address here on March last to the effec1 that the United States should be sacrificed by the Joining ot our fortunes with the fortunes of men eyerywhere.r and said his dtterances rI garding ''self determination for all peo- ples had .created disorders and revolu tions" in Korea ard Egypt, and invited "sedition and insurrectfon" in Italy.
 ..As a result of his unwarranted inter ference in the Fiume controversy with which we have no proper immediate con- cern." said MT. Poindexter. "he has brought the itaAiaE nation to the verge of civil war. Without the remotest author ity he has sent to participate in the con troversy over Plume and\ the fighting which now seems imminent there. Amer ican marines and American ships of war.
 They should be uithdrawn immediately. There is no authority for their presence there. It is an affront to friendly ma tjon and it IS a violation of every prorog- ative of war.

less Allenrhu Completely Banishes
All Rheumatic Pains and TWnaes.
Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the accu-
mulated impurities, commonly called
uric acid deposits, were dissolved in
the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea In mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and fin.
ally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom Of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf
ferers everywhere know about his dis
covery, through the newspapers. All
druggists have been appointed agents
for Allenrhu in this vicinity with the
understanding that he will freely re
turn the purchase money to all who
