WORKERS FREE AFTER
TERM IN TURK PRISON

The number of American relief
workers among the destitute and
starving peoples of the Near East has
been augmented by Americans who
were imprisoned during the war by
the Ottoman government, according
to a recent Associated Press report:
A cable received by the Committee
today also states that Americans I'M
prisoned during the war are now at
liberty and are actively engaged in
relief work for the Armenian and Sy-
rian Relief Fund" Among them are
William Nelson, former yice-consuj
at Tripoli, Syria: Charles Arthur
Dana, of the Presbyterian Board OF
Foreign Missions, and Mr.. Levine.
All of them were accused of espionage
by the former Turkish government,
the charge growing out OF the help
the Americans gave to Armenian
refugees"
Another recent cable states that
nearly all the American missions, eX-
cept those in Constantinople and
Smyrna, have been occupied by the
Turkish army, Notwithstanding that
all missions have been engaged in re-
lief work.

NECESSARY TO TREATY
President Said to Have Advanced Plan
for Control of Hun Possessions
by League Of Nations-Pro-
iect Meets Opposition.

Paris, Jan. 30.-Disposition Of the
German colonies is under considera-
ton by the supreme war council of
the peace conference.
The bureau" as the council Is now
officially designated, is understood to
feel that early decision on territorial
questions is necessary for drawing up
the preliminary peace treaty, which
will permit rehabilitation.
The American members of the COM
mission created by the peace confer
ence to visit Poland have been named.
They ARE Major General Francis J..
Herman for the army, and Professor
Robert H. Lord of Harvard university,

pert On Russia and Poland
1t is expected the commission will
leave for Poland next week.
The American delegation to the
peace conference has decided to keep
the question of labor to the fore as far
as possible in the conferences here.
President Wilson and Colonel E. NJ.
House have arranged for meeting OF
American labor men to formulate a
program.
immigration Ban Opposed.
European workers believe that labor
has the right to come and go freely,
wherever employment is to be found,
regardless of frontiers, declared Geo.
Nicoll Barnes, labor representative on
the British peace delegation, in dis
cussing the proposal to prohibit immi
grafton into the United States for some
years after the signing Of the peace
treaty.
European labor he said, was strong
ly opposed to such law, although 1t
was unable to prevent its passage.
For Decentralization.
London, Jan. 29.-In referring to dis.
cussions Of the future status of Ger
many's colonies by the peace congress,
the Paris correspondent of the Mail
writes:
president Wilson appears to have
put forward a general scheme which
may be termed the Observation-Disclosures
of Germany's late possessions This
plan is not exactly defined but In prin-
ciple it would make it mandatory for
the various powers to administer the
colonies subject to the control of the
League Of Nations.
British Colonies Present Claims.
British delegates do not object to
such procedure respecting the colonies
in Africa, although other nations, no.
tably the French and Portuguese, do
not acquiesce and the Union of South
Africa definitely claims German South
west Africa.
GAS regards the Pacific, Australia
claims New Guinea and the Bismarck
archipelago, New Zealand claims
Samoa, and Japan desires the Mar
shalls and Carolines; Japan also sug-
gests an equatorial ILLUMINATION be-
tween British and Japanese influence
in the Pacific"

House Committee Recommends
Relinquishing Control OF Lines
After Dec. 81 Next.
CABLES NOT AFFECTED
Resolution Will Be Reported to House
by Chairman Moon and Rule Civ
ing 1t Right Of Way viii Be
Asked for.

Washington, Jan 30.-Under a reso-
luton ordered favorably reported by
the house postoffice committee, by a
vote of 10 to 8, government control of
telephone and telegraph properties
would end Dec. 81, 1919.
Chairman Moon said he would pre-
sent the measure in the house and ask
for rule to give it right Of way. The
resolution made no mention Of cable
properties and that phase of the sit
uation was not discussed. Members
later expressed varying opinions as
to the effect of the legislation on fed
eral control of these properties which
was assumed by, presidential procla-
nation last November under the au-
thority given in the original wire con-
troll resolution passed by congress last
July 16.
Cable Properties Unaffected.
Chairman Moon said the new legis-
lation would not affect the original law
insofar as it applied to cable proper
ties, control of which would have to
be relinquished with the issuing of a
proclamation, by the President an
nouncing the signing of the treaty OF
peace and it's ratification. Other men,
bers expressed a different view, based
upon the fact that the cable proper
ties were controlled by the telegraph
companies. They thought control of
the cables would be automatically ex-
tended There were still other COM
mitteemen who believed the question
would have to be settled in the courts.
Various dates for termination of
control of the telephone and telegraph
companies were suggested after the
committee had concluded it's hearings
on the original administration meas
ure by examining Postmaster General
Burleson. The first proposal was for
restoration of the properties to pri-
vate management next May 80, but
this and another to extend the time
to Dec. 81, 1920, were voted down.
AS introduced by Chairman Moon,
the resolution authorized the postmas-
ter general to negotiate contracts for
the purchase of telephone companies
and to have an appraisement made of
the telegraph properties, but these
provisions were stricken out.
Mr. Burleson and other proponents
of the legislation insisted that the
purpose was to extend the period OF
control and not to bring about gov
eminent ownership.

ONE MILLION HOMES SHORT
Construction in United States Will Be
Speeded Up.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Suspension of
building made necessary by the war
has resulted in shortage of nearly
100000 homes in America, according
to an estimate made public here by
representatives of building and loan
associations over the country
These representatives have been
comforting with officials of the La
Dor and Treasury departments and
they said that with an adequate labor
supply available and building resetric-

LESS MEAT # BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take q glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
If Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots Of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro.
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become oyerworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts OF
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplesaness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or Kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine 80 it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

AN UNUSUAL EXPLOSION.

HAYS, Kan, Nov. 17.-Seven per-
sons were killed and 81 injured, four
probably fatally, when an attempt to
crank a motor car at a gasoline fill
ing station here today resulted in a
series Of explosions. Property loss
from the fire following the explosion
is estimated at 100000.
A number of persons were burned
by the blazing oil, while others were
injured by flying debris. The local
hospitals is filled with the injured and
physicians from nearby towns are ar
irving to assist local doctors.
The fire at the oil station, which
was followed by the explosion, was
caused by the back-firing Of motor
car, according to the most authentic
information obtainable.
The filing station caught fire fol-
lowing the explosion and in few
minutes the fire was raging around
the storage tanks. With terrific
roar, a large gasoline container ex-
ploded. The tank, 10 feet in diameter
and 16 long, scared into the air and
travelled blocks north, where it fell
on house.
A kerosene tank, which stood with
in a few feet of the gasoline contain
er, exploded almost at the same time.
1t was thrown more than 100 feet
from its base.
After the explosion, seven persons
who had been standing nearby, were
found dead and 25 others burned or
injured.

100000 MOTOR
CARS IN 5 YEARS
Dodge Brothers Again Achieve
Record for Rapid Development
of Great Industry.

When Dodge Motor Car Number
400 900 rolled from the assembly line
and swung around the factory test
track Tor a final inspection before
delivery, it marked manufacturing
achievement of exceptional import
ance in the history of the motor car
industry.
The achievement is unique because
100000 motor cars were produced AID
marketed during the first five years
of operation, which is record in the
automobile industry.
Less than five years ago, on Dec
emher, 1914, to be exact, the first
motor car bearing the Dodge Brothers
name plate was shipped to beni-ide
purchaser. 1t was the first material
evidence of Dodge Brothers determ-
nation to devote their wide manu-
featuring experience to the rroduc-
ton of complete motor cars. Since
that day the shipments have been
growing in volume until, few days
ago the 100000 mark was reached.
lii 1914 Dodge Brothers works
covered approximately twenty acres
Of floor space, and evul then was con-
sidered one Of the large manufactur-
ing plants of America. But unit after
unit has been added with unfailing
regularity until the original twenty
acres have grown to ninety, aid the
number of employees to more than
$4,000.
The first hundred thousand car was
completed October 81, 1916, the
second October 81, 1917, and the third
on December Is, 1913.
Car number 100000, which is four
door sedan. was allotted to Thomas J.
Doyle, Dodge BROTHERS dealer in De-
troit. ~

And yet, they say, farming don't
pay. Just look at this: Messrs. l..
B. and L. B. Sharp, of the Ethelville
country, were in the city last Wednes-
day with their second loadsof Triumph
Irish potatoes, seventy-fve bushels
of the second crop from the same
land this year. These potatoes were
beauties and sold at from $500 to
$3.50 a bushel.
They were planted the latter part
of July and matured perfectly before
the frost caught them. They got rs
bushels from half an acre of sandy
loan land, and they were sold as fast
as they hit the burg. From $3.50 to
5000 from the same half acre the
same year! Who said it, anyhow?
