KNEW THAT WOULD STOP HIM
Lawyer Evidently Was Well Ao-
quainted With the Weakness OF
His Long-Winded Friend.
D CFoR YOUR AcID-sT0MAcD

G. III. Murphy relates the story Of q
Philadelphia lawyer, retired, who, in
the days of his active practice, was
notorious for his long-windedness.
On one occasion he had been spout
ing forth his concluding argument for
six hours, and the end was nowhere
in sight, when the opposing attorney
beckoned his associate and whispered:
"Can't you stop him, Jack?"
"I1l stop him in two minutes" Jack
replied confidently. And he wrote
and passed to the orator the following
note:
"My Dear COlOnel-As soon as you
finish your magnificent argument
would like you to join me at the ho-
tel in bumper Of rare old Bourbon"
The lawyer halted in the midst Of
an impassioned period, put on his
glasses, and read the note that had
been handed him, then he removed his
glasses again and, taking up his hat
and bag, he said:
"And now, may 1t please the court
and gentlemen of the jury, leave the
case with you"
A minute later he was proceeding In
stately fashion in the direction of the
hotel bar.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. T., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention $5is na;per.-Adv.

Versailles.-The reply of the allied
and associated governments to Ger
manys counter proposals and a re-
vised copy Of the peace treaty are in
the hands of Count Won BrOckdOrff-
RantZau, who Is on his way to Wei
mar, there to present to the German
National Assembly the final word Of
the victOrS in the war. Few changes
have been made in the revised treaty.
Five days was the allotted period orig
inally fixed for the Germans to an
swer yes or no to the demands of the
allies. But two days additional have
been granted because of the insistence
Of the German delegation that not suf-
ficient time had been allowed for
proper consideration of the revised
terms. This will extend the time limi-
tatiOn few days.
If Germany's reply is yes the treaty
will be Immediately signed if Ger
many declines to accede to the de-
mands the armistice will be automat-
ically terminated and the allied armed
forces will take whatever steps they
deem requisite to the occasion.
The revised treaty contained inter-
lineatiOns in red ink where changes
had been made in it. 1t had been i'm
possible to reprint the treaty in time
for it's presentation today.
Paul Dutasta, general secretary Of
the peace conference, placed the re-
viSed draft of the treaty and the note
in the hands of German Legation Sec
retary Simon and Baron Won Loersner.
Herr Simon protested against the
short time given Germany to make
known her intentions.
The party was grouped along one
side of the reading room in the Hotel
Reservoirs. In front of M. Dutasta
was large handicapped table, upon
which the documents were placed in
two piles. The Germans took their
place at the other side Of the table.
Herr Simon informally handed the
documents to Baron Won Loersner, this
actually constituting the formal re-
ceipt of the treaty and the ultimatum.

quired The Germans then returned

Special Despatch 10 THE suN.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Senators who
believe the rejection of the treaty Of
peace now before the Senate is the
only method of insuring the safety of
the United States in future held con-
ference to-day in the Office of Senator
Knox (Pa.). Those present by no
means represented the entire number
who take this position. but represent
the most irreconcilable opposition to
the pact.
Although the conference was hur-
riedly and quite informally got to-
gether. it took up seriously the ques-
ton of measures by which to organ
ize the growing opposition of the coun-
try and make possible the elimination
Of the United States from all connec-
ton with world settlement as now
proposed. Two parts are included in
the programme:
/. To insure assurances that the
Senate will not permit the treaty TO
&C me to vote on any vital matters
for few weeks while the Senators
can absent themselves from Washing
ton and make campaign to inform
the country.
2. Then to arrange speaking tours
for several Senators that will cover
the country and carry to it an accu-
rate understanding Of the treaty as 1t
is now understood by the Senators
who have been studying it for months.
The conference was in a way the
reply OF the opposition to the Admin
istration move, through the White
House conference and the Pittman res
olution, to have the treaty rushed to
ratification without even reservations,
but merely with an interpretative res
olution outside the ratification meas
ure. The instant collapse OF that pro-
gramme on the very day it was pre-
sented to the Senate was followed by
it's repudiation to-day by the White
House.

This was ali very cheering to the
sition. and their plans for a rejection
night were taken in hand at once.
The conference in Senator Knox's Of
fce was attended by Senators Knox
(Pa). Johnson (Calif). Fall IN. M,
Borah (Idaho). Moses On H, Poin-
dexter (Wash.) }, Reed (Mo), and Bran
degee Comm. Mr.. Knox's statement
to those who met with him was the
most impressive incident OF the day As
former Secretary of State, and after
most diligent consideration of the treaty
now pending. Mr.. Knox advanced
his reasons why, in his concluded opin-
ion, the future security of the United
States made II almost absolutely nee
essary that this Government keep en-
tirely out of the world combination that
is sought TO hA1 set up by this treaty
II that were not possible of accomplish
ment through rejection OF the document
then ratification must be accompanied
by reservations so clear and strong as
to relieve the United states of all obli-
cations or burdens under the plan.
Mr.. Knox has indicated much the
same view in a resolution he introduced
day, in the circumstances of the con-
ference at his office. vas particularly
impressive. The Pennsylvania Senator
would not make for publication a de-
tailed statement OF the views which had
been so influential with the Senators
who heard what he had to say. but some
OF them declared that II the whole
statement could be given to the country
at this time It would cause a national
sensation.
The truth is" said one of the Sena-
tors who was In the gathering, that the
country is now away head of the Sem
ate in its critical attitude toward the
treaty. One Democratic Senator who
expects TO vote for the treaty told me
the state OF opinion in his State could
only be described as volcanic. so de-
termined is the opposition becoming"
One matter which renders the plans
of the anti-league radicals difficult OF
formulation is the impossibility Of SEN
ators absenting themselves from Wash
ington for any considerable time while
there is always possibility OF important
matters demanding their presence here.
So they want an arrangement made
that will insure that for five or six weeks
at least no critical votes shall be taken.
This Is matter for the leadership of
the dominant party to arrange, and il
is not easily managed in view OF the
close division of the Senate and the in
disposition to arrange pairs for Senators
engaged in lighting the treaty. But it is
believed plans can be perfected even
tually
