step she had taken. The important
point should therefore be noted that
when China declared war against Ger

them, the hino-German treaty of 1898
became null and void and German

The rights which were granted to Ger

Furthermore, this cancellation of

treaty and notes of 1915 regarding
Shantung, and indeed all the treaties
and notes resulting from the 81 de-
mands. should be considered binding
on China or not, owing to the circum-
stances of their negotiation and the
coercion and duress used for their con-
C.uSion, was a matter which was raised
by the Chinese delegation at the Paris
conference. But the point which should
be emphasized here is this. China was,
according to that treaty, to agree to
give assent to all matters upon which
Japan might agree with Germany re-

rights in Shantung. Now, rs the Ger

China's declaration of war it was OBJ

other power.

IS WORTH GOING
100 MILES FOR
That Is What Mrs. Burns
Says Of Tanlac-Gains
Nine Pounds

ct had to go 16 miles to get my first
bottle of Tanlac. but from the way the
medicine helped me, | would gladly go
100 miles rather than be without it"
said Mrs. George NJ. Burns of 1900 Spruce
avenue, Kansas City, Mo-, to Tanlac
representative recently
For six months before 1 commenced
taking Tanlac I had suffered great
deal with stomach trouble and indiges-
ton," continued Mrs. Burns. II simply
didn't have any appetite at all and what
little did manage TO eat didn't seem to
do me much good, because 1 couldn't
seem to get any strength and I was so
nervous I could hardly stand bit of
noise and even the bark of a dog would
upset me completely. My kidneys gave
me lot of trouble. too, because l suf-
fered lot with pains in my back and
finally got so weak and run down in
health l wasn't able to do my house
work.
Il was in just this condition when a
friends of mine, who had taken Tanlac
and been greatly helped by it, told me
l ought TO take it. At the time l was
living at Chautauqua. Kan, and had to
go to Sedan, about 16 miles away to get
the medicine, but it was certainly worth
going that distance, or more for, because
the Tanlac helped me almost from the
very start. My appetite picked up right
away, SO I continued to take Tanlac
and now can eat just anything 1 want
and what / eat does me good too, be-
cause l am gaining in strength right
along. l have already gained nine
pounds in weight and my nerves are in
fine condition and / can sleep lust as
soundly at night now as child and
get up in the morning feeling perfectly
rested and refreshed. Tanlac has GER
tainly built me up, because my general
health hasn't been as good as it is now
for years and l have recommended the
medicine to many of my friends and all
who have taken it tell me that they have
been benefited. Tanlac has done me more
good than anything / have ever taken
and I cheerfully recommend it for stom-
ach trouble and for those who need a
general building up
Tanlac is sold in Birmingham by Eu-
gene Jacobs drug store and Patton
Pope Drug company. and by the leading
druggists in practically every city, town
and village in America.-Adv.

PLANS OUTLINED

E. HI. Andrews Tells of Pur-

Activities of Boy Scouts
to Community Club

\ r. IT. Andrews was the principal
speaker at the Community club yes

ing at 1 o'clock at the Southern club,
when he outlined some of the plans
for the campaign to raise $4,000 for
the Boy Scouts and Boys club. This
drive will be started Thursday at

Civilian and Community clubs to be
held in the ballroom of the Tutwiler
hotel

Andrews. land we must look after
our boys if we would have them citi-
zens of which we are proud. What bet
ter work could the mems clubs of this
city do than to raise the money for
the budgets of these two organizations
which are doing such splendid work
for the boys of Birmingham"
He spoke of the work of the Boys
club. which cared for a certain class
of boys that couldn't be reached by
any other organization. and stated it
has been the custom of the Rotary
club to raise among it's membership
a large portion of the necessary money
to operate this organization, but they
had felt as if the other clubs would
like to assist and have an interest in
tits work. He declares a large ma
jority of the boys belonging to the
Boys clubs were newsboys and from
this organization they were able TO
enjoy some of the privileges offered
At ~ t. 14znf ~,

the Boys club is the only way they
can be reached, he said
Mr. Andrews told or the splendid
work done by the Boy Scouts at home
while their big brothers were over
seas fighting. ut is useless for me
to tell you of the many things these
how they did their part in helping to
win the war" he stated. They
worked 900 hours for Birmingham,
and this work would have had to De
performed by men had it not been for
this organization.
IF we had been forced to pay 10
cents an hour to get someone to do
this work it would have cost the city
$4,000, but the pride and Willingness
with which these Boy Scouts per-
formed the various tasks assigned to
them was splendid"
He urged all members to be on hand
at the joint luncheon Thursday and
asked that the Community club CO.
operate with the other organizations
in putting this drive over.
Lloyd Bowers, a member of the club,
who went to Montgomery last week to
assist, in defeating the Pettus county
bill made a report of the work done
there. which was received as informa-
ton.

Europe's Vast Money Needs

From LeSfeS
The amount of money needed to rehabil-
itate the war-bled countries of Europe
almost passes comprehension. The re-
quirements of Russia for reconstruction
purposes during the next 10 years are es-
timated by DR.. Joseph NJ Goldstein, pro-
fessor of political economy in the Univer-
sity of Moscow, at over $50, 900, 100000.
The financial bolstering of the European
countries will not be merely altruistic
on our part Unless they are set firmly
on their financial feet. they will be I'M
able to trade with US. and we shall there
by be greatly the losers. Immense and
mutually profitable traffic is awaiting
our action in this direction. Therefore
we note with pleasure that United States
Senator Edge of New Jersey has intro
ducei a bill enabling American investors
to finance foreign purchasers of Amer
lean goods. This measure authorizes
large business interests to form corpora
tons capitalized at hundreds of millions
of dollars, to extend credits and supplies
to war devastated sections of Europe.
Such corporations may exercise banking
functions, and advance cash to foreign
purchasers on their plants or other Sc
curity. Against mortgages thus placed
the corporations may issue debentures.
using the money raised on debentures
for payment to American exporters for
their goods. One great merit of this plan
is that it provides only for government
supervision and not for government par
ticipation. The enterprise will be wholly
private The bill is in principle perfect
solution of q very urgent and complicated
problem.
