NOTHING TO REPORTS
Tales of American Lawlessness IL
Paris Are Wholly Unfounded.

Paris. Feb. 4.-Reports of wide
spread lawlessness on the part of the
Americans, particularly from the
American expeditionary forces, are
wholly unfounded, declared Brig. Gen.
w. w Harris, the American command
er of the Paris district, in a report sub
mitted to Maj Gen. J. G. Harbord
The report gives the results of ex-
haustive investigation of printed and
rumored reports of crime and lawless-
ness. 1t is based on records of the
American provost marshal, the French
police and other sources.
General Harris says that the persist
ent appearance of newspaper articles
accusing the Americans of lawlessness
has led to the impression that there
is some anti-American propaganda al
work in Paris which some have
ascribed to German sources"
He says that incontrovertible fig
ures show that criminal offenses COM
mitted in Paris and ascribed to Amer
lean soldiers from January, 1918, to
January, 1919, were extremely few in
proportion to the number of American
soldiers in Paris during that period.
One Paris newspaper recently as
cribed to American soldiers a total of
"a murders, ESQ day and night attacks
and $50 bloody combats'' during De-
cember. General Harris characteriZes
says that the records show that serious
offenses committed by Americans dur
ing December totaled two cases of as
sault and battery. three cases of house
breaking and seven cases of diSorderly
conduct.
the fact that more than $4,000 SOL
diers have been stationed in Paris at
one time and that some 5000 pass
thru the city daily.

TAnlac did for me, 1 feel just like
shouting for joy said Mrs. Lizzie

years 1 had stomach trouble" she con-
tiaued, land i couldn't eat bite of
anything without being miserable for
hours afterwards. I also had bilious
spells and my head would ache like
an iron band was tied around 1t and
often l would get as yellow as
pumpkin. l was nervous, too, and SO
restless and fidgety that often L
couldn't go to bed and go to sleep,
but l would have nervous rigors and
many a night 1 have laid awake wait
ing and hoping for morning to come
and sometimes L couldn't lie i'll bed
any longer and would just have to get
up and sit in chair for the rest of
the night. I finally got so weak that
1 couldn't have walked a block if |
had been paid hundred dollars to do
It and 1 felt so bad all the time that
life was a burden to me- 1 tried all
kinds of treatments and medicines bui
none of them did me a bit of good and
/ began to think there was no hope for
me at ALL
When 1 heard about Tanlac doing
su much good and decided to try it
I was too weak to go for bottle my
self, and had to send my daughter L
didn't believe it possible for any medi-
done for me Before l finished my
first bottle my strength began to come
back and l could sleep better than l
have for years OF course L ordered
some more and kept on taking it ac-
cording to directions and now l feel
as strong and healthy as I did thirty
years ago. 1 don't have any more
bilious spells and the headaches are
gone and my skin is clear gain. When
meal time comes l have a good appe-
tite and don't have to worry about
what 1 eat or how much because it
all agrees with me. All signs of nerv-

20 new FLU CASES
Average Number Taken Down With
Disease Daily in Topeka.

Twenty new cases of influ-
enza developed today up to o'clock
this afternoon.
For Sunday and Monday fifty cases
were reported. According to DIR. II.
l.. Clark, city health officer, the North
side of the city has taken the lead
away from the West side in the .preva-
lence of the disease. Thirty of the
cases reported Monday were local ed
in North Topeka. While most of the
cases are having light attacks, says
Doctor Clark. there are still number
of serious cases among the sick ones
He bears out this assertion by the
statement that in the week before last
164 cases were reported. Last W eek
two deaths occurred. The death rate
is held to be low considering the large
number of cases reported in the week
preceding.

TRAIN QUARANTINE PUT BACK
EPIDEMIC WORSE AT DELTA

The terrific experiences which towns
east and west of us are having with
the Flu, induced the town authorities
TO slap on the train quarantine again
Sunday. Travellers from Salida, Del
Ia, Montrose, Olathe and Hctchkiss
are now interned for two days. Thr1,
passengers can get off as usual. All
these cities are sadly stricken by
death. The Delta Tribune remarks:
Epidemic serious proposition.
The flu epidemic which has been
raging here in its third wave the past
two weeks, claiming over 100 patients,
is believed to have reached the peak
and the last two days have showed a
marked decrease in the number of new
cases.
Be that as it may, the situation is
serious. There is no way nearly
enough nurses to take care of those
who are i'll, and the physicians are
kept on the go day and night and are
almost worn out with the five months
constant strain.
