All France Is Making Merry at
"FuneraI" Today.
Censor and His Wartime Al
lies Have Passed Away.
DIPLOMATIC Bee IS BUzzING
Paul Dutasta Will Be Ambas-
sadOr to Berlin, Paper Says.
Won Lersner Probably VIII Be
German Envoy at Paris.
tBy the Associated Press,

Paris. Oct. IS {Monday) General
rejoicing by the press over the death
| OF "Anastasie," as the censor has been
called in France during the war,
| marked the first day Of the return OF
! state of peace to France today.
Military control, not only of the
press but of all police measures for the
control of movements of travellers
across the frontiers as well as inside
of France, the supervision of ports,
restrictions on importations and other
matters which have been in the hands
of army officers. passed to civil au-
thorities. The rights of reQuisitioning
was terminated and the military au-
thorities also lost jurisdiction over GER
longer having the right to search pri-
waite property.
Dutasta Envoy to Berlin?
Further comment on the resump-
| ton of. diplomatic relations between
! France and Germany was provoked
by the publication of the presidential
decree this morning. Paul Dutasta,
who acted as secretary of the peace
conference is Still one of the most
prominent men mentioned as the prob
able ambassador to Berlin. The well
| informed Echo de Paris says it had
| confirmation of the report that he
had been selected for the post and
that it is expected the German govern
ment will at once be asked to approve
his nomination. IL
Baron Kurt Won Lersner now Ger
| man representative at Versailles, who
has made a visit to the German en-
bassy on Rue de Lille, is supposed to
be Germany's choice as charge d.
affaires, pending the nomination of an
ambassador. France probably will
have a charge d. affaires in Berlin
| temporarily and the name most fire.
quently mentioned for this post is that
| of NJ. Clinchant, present charge d.
affaires at Berne.
The return of the status of peace
| does not necessarily terminate the
moratorium applying to debts, the
government intending. it is said, to
prolong the time within which the set
tlement of transactions held in abey-
ance since 1914 may be required.

80 Left Out of Labor Meets

washington. Oct. 14.--With the
peace treaty just on the verge of go
ing into effect thru ratification by
three major powers-France, Italy.
and Great Britain and with sectional
meetings of the League of Nations
scheduled to start in washing ton this
month, the government today found
itself in need of funds to carry out the
program
To Leave U. s. Out?
The interna tionai labor conference
created under the treaty is to meet
here October 20. Delegates will begin
arriving within a few days. The sum
of 100000 is needed to finance this,
to pay the wages of clerks and stem
ographers and to maintain the peces-
sary officers. Whether congress will
appropriate the money in time for it
it to be used during the labor confer
ence was problematical today A num-
Der of congressman were understood to
look with disfavor on the proposition
of providing the cash for a League of
Nations meeting.
Unless the treaty has been ratified
by the senate before October 20, the
United States will be unable to have
any representation in this labor con-
ference. Secretary of Labor Wilson
will open 1t and then withdraw, leav-
ing the foreign delegates to conduct
the sessions.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Oct ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
weakness developed in the corn market to-
day as a result of an unusual absence of
buying orders. This condition was attrib-
uted more or less to uncertainty created
by the longshoremen's strike in New York.
Besides, there was talk of probable en-
largement of rural offerings owing to in
creased husking and Smelling. Opening
prices, which ranged from Ne TO 1kc lower
with December s121la to S1.22 and May
terial further setback.
In the later trading, support continued
lacking, and the December delivery reach
ed the lowest price in more than three
weeks. Stock market depression was a
bearish factor. The close was unsettled.

to $1.21A and May $1.20A to $1.2o5k.

with corn. After opening unchanged to

general fall.

Gains Twenty-Five POunC
Taking TanIac.
Pounds
Suffered Ten Years - All
Troubles Overcome.

81 have gained twenty-five pounds
since taking Tanlac and just feel so
fine I want to tell everybody what
Tanlac has done for me-" said Mrs. A.
Dernhahns slS2 Farewell Ave, NIL
1vseulxee I'm am interview recently. -
81 never felt better in my whole
liz" continued Mrs. Defnham, and
as long as live I'll praise Tanlac. My
friends and neighbors are all eongrat-
uiating me on my wonderful recovery,
and 1 have praised Tanlac SO much
that numbers OF Milwaukee people
have already taken the medicine on
my advice.
For ten years before I took Tanlac
my stomach was in an awful condf-
ton, and the suffering I have gone
thru has been almost more than
could bear. 1 was subject to vomiting
spells that would last for hours at a
time, once I had a spell that lasted
seventeen hours before it could be
stopped. Chills would come on me,
maybe down town, in the theater. or
anywhere 1 happened to be, and great
beads OF perspiration would stand out
on my foreheads. Pains would strike
me right in the pit of my stomach, and
a burning pain would flash up my
throat. and almost parch my throat
and mouth. I couldn't sleep well at
night, and every morning I would feel
so bad that I could hardly dress my
OF the flu and I was in such a weak
ened condition that my case was Sc
we're and when I got up out of bed
had actually lost forty-six pounds and
was so thin that when friends called
they could hardly recognize me.
"A friend advised me to take Tanlac
and I took her advice and started TAX
ing it at once and, sir, the way I inn
proved from the very first is remarka-
BILE, and my weight and strength came
back so rapidly that it has made me al
most new woman. My stomach is in
fine condition and I am not troubled
with vomiting spells or chills and the
truth is, don have any kind of aches
or pains at all. My appetite is fine now
and 1 enjoy going to the table and eat
ing, and at night can sleep as sound
as a child. My recovery has been sim
ply wonderful and I just feel so well
all the time that don't believe 1 was
ever in better health in all my life
than I am right now. Why, I've
gained twenty-five pounds already and
I am gaining more all the time. Tan
lac is certainly a remarkable medicine
and as long as live I'll praise it,"

supposed to be in touch with the
White Honse thought he would be laid
up three months.
Senators Urge Full Report.
7-Believing that the. official state
ments on Wilson'S condition have not
been sufficiently Informative. some
senators friendly to the president are
privately discussing the advisa bility
of recommending that full statement
be issued to reassure the country.
Information as to the presidents ac-
tuai condition, If IL is TO be credited,
naturally must originate with persons
who have seen him recently. These
persons are his four doctors, Cary II
Grayson, Sterling Ruffin, +. x Der
cum and E. r. Stitt, Mrs. Wilson, Mar
garet Wilson and the trained nurses.
Therefore, it will be seen that the field
for Investigation at original sources is
limited. These are he only ones VINO

sons condition is at present
''His Brain Is Clear"
with regard to his mental state, one
who has talked with him within the
last few days said:
His brain is as clear as yours"
Senator Hitchcock, who has not seen
him, but who is very close, to persons
that have, said:
lie is not inexperienced ia IAS
slightest respect"
Secretary Tumulty, whose manner
was strikingly depressed at first,
seemed to be quite his old self today
and in talking to friends gave an i'm
preston OF optimism. The presidents
ailment to Grayson is nervous exhaus-
ton. The principal danger-and this
danger is said to exist stills that the
nervous exhaustion might lead to ner-
Vous prostration or something even
more serious. The remedy is rest.
Physicians say that in cases of ner-
vous exhaustion, . deep disappoint-
ment, a shock or mental over-exertion
may cause a relapse.
Resents "Step Aside" Suggestions.
While Wilson must remain in bed
for an extended period. this does not
necessarily mean that he cannot con-
slider executive business even tho in
bed, it was pointed out.
Wilson, it was learned, is aware of
the suggestions that have been made
president and resents them. In spite
of this, some senators friendly to him
have said privately they thought ii
would be a good move for Wilson him
self, if he faces a long period of ill
ness, to ask Marshall to act for him
temporarily.
Doctor Grayson. in an oral state
ment accompanying his formal am
nouncement last night, intimated that
the change for the better was very APP

brief White House announcement of
about the same" seemingly indicated
neither an improvement nor change
