MERCHANT SAYS
He: HAD SUFFERED
FOURTEEN YEARS
Hicks Says Since Taking
TanIac All His Troubles
Have Disappeared-Gains
III Pounds and Feels Like
New Man

"Tanlac made a well man of me
after 1 had suffered for fourteen
years and spent hundreds of dol
lars in trying to get relief" said
E. A. Hicks, a well-known merchant
of Blackwell, Tenn.
Il was in miserable shape" he
continued, and ten years ago /
became so much worse that 1 had
to quit working at my trade and
bought a store where the work
would be lighter on me. I had hard
ly any appetite, and after forcing
down anything L would become nau-
seated and begin vomiting. Gas
pressed so on my heart that L would
almost smother to death and would
feel as though there was a hard
lump in my stomach, and often 1
would be in so much misery that
I would have to go to bed.
Il tried everything I could
think of but got no relief till 1
started on Tanlac. BY the time
I had taken half a bottle I was
feeling like a new man. When I
had taken three bottles I found 1
had gained ten pounds and my food
did not hurt me at all. My appe-
tite picked up right away and now

gas or indigestion and everybody
around here is talking about how

SOFT COAL MINERS
BENT OH STRIKING
TO FORCE DEMANDS

WASHINGTON, D. C. - There
seems little hope tonight of avert
ing the strike of 100000 bituminous
coal miners, called for November I.
After a series of conferences with
labor leaders here and telephone
talks with others in the central coal
territory, John L. Lewis, president
OF the United Mine Workers of
America, announced they would go
out unless all demands, including
the f1ve-day week, were granted.
The operators, standing by their
decision not to consider any pro-
posaI looking to shorter weekly
schedule and refusing to open nego-
tiations unless the strike order was
withdrawn, charged that the miners
were trying to freeze the country
into submission by insisting upon &C
ceptance of Impossible demands"
1.-The strike will not be called off,"
Lewis declared. 1--WE will not arbi-
trate while the strike order stands"
said Thomas L. Brewster, chairman
of the operators scale committee.
Meanwhile pressure was being
brought to bear on both sides from
manq quarters to adjust their diff
ferences and save untold distress.
Taking mental stock, Lewis said
there would be enough coal on hand
on November 1 to keep the country
warm thirty days.
Secretary of Labor Wilson, at
whose invitation the scale commit
tees of the miners and operators
will meet with him here Tuesday, de-
clined to comment on the negotia-
lions and continued to hope he would
be able to bring about peace. Official
Washington held to the view, how
ever, that the strike was inevitable.
The meeting will be behind closed
doors.
Discussing the wartime agree
ment, Lewis said:
'tThe claims of the operators that
the miners are guilty of reputation
of contract is totally unfounded and
has no basis in fact. The Washing
ton wage agreement read that it
was to continue in force and effect
until the ending of the war, or
until March 81, 1920 In substance
and form the war has ended, the
mine workers have no contract; the
contract expired upon the 18th day
of November, 1918, when hostilities
ceased In order to give the coun-
try and the mining industry an op-
portunity for readjustment, the mine
workers have worked for an addi-
tional year for the same wages,
merely by common consent. We now
seek to negotiate new agreement
to become effective November l.
Ample notice has been given the
operators of our intentions in this
respect, but they have steadfastly
refused to take any action that might
interfere with their profits. The
miners have had no increase in wages
for more than two years."

Dol SHEV|K| FLEE
,PETROGRAD BEFORE
At ACK|NG FORCES

LONDON.-The march of Cen
eral Yuder itch at the head of
the northwestern Russian army on
the city of Petrograd was still pro-
crossing favorably at the latest iad-
vices. Some reports of his advance
however, have apparently outrun his
actual progress. There appeared, for
instance, some doubt today whether
the fortress of Kronstadt, outpost at
the water approach to Petrograd
had capitulated to British naval
forces, as indicated in reports dur
ing the night. The British admi-
rally had received no confirmatory
advices and the accuracy of the
news was questioned in admiralty
circles. .. 49,.
Dispatches from Scandinavia have
announced the capture of Gatchina,
twenty-five miles south of Petrograd,
by the Yudenitch forces and stated
that Yudenitch was advancing on
Tsarkoe-Selo, former summer resi-
dence of the late Emperor Nicholas.
and krasnoye-Selo, nearby.

places by the anti-Bolshevik armv
N-O" NNSis SSCII1Cu O1 aC-
curacy. A Bolshevik wireless Station
is located at Tsarskoe-S elo, and an
nouncement was made by the wire
less press here this morning that
the Bolsheviki were apparently still
in possession of it, as soviet propa.
ganda was yet being sent out from
the station during this forenoon.
Soviet troops are reported to be
leaving Petrograd, mutiny among
the men having broken out. In any
event advices indicate the Yudenitch
forces are encountering feeble re-
sistance.
Bolshevik troops are said to have
captured Kiev, but in this region the
situation is obscure. It was reported
last week Kiev was in the hands of
General Petlura's Ukrainian army,
which advanced against General
Denekine's left flank, following Pet
Iura's declaration Of war on the Co.'S
sack chieftain.

Hoke Smith has introduced a senate
bill directing the army engineers to
make a survey and estimate of the
expense of a canal to be constructed
from Cumberland sound to the gulf,
using the st. Mary's and Suwanee
rivers. The bill was referred to the
senate commerce committee.
There has long been demand for
an inland waterway connecting the
Cumberland sound with the gulf
coast and now that the war is over
and congress may gradually turn
its attention to domestic affairs and

Republican ties against the
amendment, they pointed out, were
almost entirely on the ground that it
is inexpedient at this late time to
attempt to chs &c the text Of pact
which has been agreed to by three
of the gre,t allied powers. The pur-
pose. of the Shantung amendment
was approved by practically all Re-
publicans voting against it and,
this, administration senators ex-
planned, shows clearly that the re-
lection of the amendment was large
ly vote ag inst sending the treaty
back to be further negotiated. A
similar position will be taken on the
Johnson amendment, they de Jared.
Fourteen Republicans voted
against the Lodge amendment, while
three Democrats supported it. The
vote of i've to '~ty-five was
close to predictions of Democratic
leaders.
Reading of the treaty continued
today. The j hnson amendment to
give the United States six votes in
the league assembly comes next.
Republican leaders declared that
the result had no possible bearing on
he lineup for ratification, insisting
that there was no hope Of ratifying
the treaty without reservations. They
pointed out that many of the four
teen Republicans announced they
would demand reservations which
would serve substantially the same
purpose as amendments.

 Although Vittorio Orlando, Italian premier, has withdrawn from the peace conference and returned to Italy. he still is in communication with confer ence circles in Paris. The French pre- miar, Georges Clemenceau, received a message from the Italian statesman Friday morning, but no hint as to it's contents has been divalged- Signor Orlando discussed the message while on his way to Rome. Baron Sonnino, Italian foreign minister, will leave Paris for Rome Saturday, according to an- nouncement.
 The departure of Premier Orlando is defined in conference circles not as a rupture, but as a suspension of Italian collaboration in the actual peace con- ference. In some quarters, the expec- tation has been put forward that Signor Orlando will return to Paris in time for the delivery of the peace terms to the German plenipotentiaries at Yer sailles, about May 1 or 2. It is ex- pected that the Italian delegates re- maining in Paris will continue to col laborate on various secondary inter- allied commissions.
 The American delegates seem confi- dent that a settlement will be reached after a conference of Premier Orlando with the Italian parliament. At Italian headquarters the seemingly irrecon- ciliable spirit at first manifest, has visibly diminished.
 Wait and hope" was the watchword expressed at the Italian headquarters here. President Wilson outwardly has displayed no disposition to yield to the Italians and the opinion voiced in American circles is that only through a change in the attitude of the Italians can an agreement be reached.
 From Italy comes word that in Rome and other cities there have been dem- onstrations in which the manifestants have cheered the United States but ut tered expressions of animosity toward President Wilson. An American of flyer arriving in Paris from Plume re- ports that fourteen Italian divisions have been moved there and that virtu- ally all the inhabitants of the city, with the exception of Italians, have departed.

 An inter allied food commission of 9 members will begin three days ses- sion tomorrow in Coblenz.
