Paris, March 12.-Former
Grand Duke Alexander Mich
aelovitch who arrived in Paris
recently from Crimea, told the
Associated Press today that
unless armed allied interven-
ton in Russia began at once
the situation in Russia would
become SO hopelessly desper-
ate that it would take years
to restore semblance Of or
der in Eastern Europe. The
former Grand Duke, who is a
brother-in-law Of the former
emperor continued:

SERIOUS DIFFICULTIES
FOUND BY BRITISH

London, Tuesday, March 11.--In
opening the conference of the league
of nations union, which began at
Westminster today with British,
French, American, Norwegian, Greek
and other delegates in attendance,
Lord Shaw, who was elected president,
said the covenant of the league Of ma
tions as formulated in Paris unques-
tionably presented serious difficulties.
Lord Shaw said he was a great deal
concerned as to the powers Of the del
egates under the covenant. No one
would dream of suggesting, he pro-
tested, that the great powers and the
small powers should stand equal in
rank, or that those who had borne in
the greatest measure the horrors and
burdens of the val should not have
practical Difference paid to their posi-
ton But, he added, all those things
could be adjusted.
Premier Venizelos of Greece, who
is n of the delegates, said that In
working for the league Of nations
those who did so also were working
for international peace, saying that
unless national desires could be salts
fled, international difficulties never
could be solved. He deprecated any
effort to make the work of the or.
ganizers of the league of nations so
complete at the outset as to run the
risk Of having no league at all.
Leon Bourgeois, president Of the
French society for a league of nations,
that the requirements for unanim-
ity Of decision on the part of the mem
bers Of the league might endanger its
whole structure.
Oscar 8. Straus, OF the American
to enforce peace, referring to
the opposition in America, said there
we're always those whose eyes looked
10 the past, but there were others
whose vision looked to the future.
America, he declared, expected Its
representatives to translate the hopes
If the people of the world into thu
security for which they looked for all
'uture time.

mission on the International regime OF

will again be inaugurated with the
opening of the new wheat season. and
in view of that possibility the railroad
administration Is already preparing
the necessary machinery so that 1t
may be prepared to act without delay
Mt the proper time. Conferences
have already been held with represent
atives OF the grain corporation.
AS graphically illustrating the ne
cessity Of regulating the transporta-
ton of this tonnage, and the results
obtained from such regulation, the fol
lowing facts are of value and interest
ing: For the nine months of the crop
year, July /, 1913. to May /, 1919 there
passed through the grain handling ia
cilities Of the country-elevators and
mills-a total Of 3,440, 100000 bushels
Of all grains, although the highest
point Of grain storage of all kinds at
any one time In that period was $780,
100000 bushels. That Is. in nine
months the flow of grain was seven
times the quantity which accumulated
In storage at the highest point during
that period. This Is direct illustra-
ton of the necessity Of keeping the
grain-handling facilities of the coun-
try liquid to avoid the distress to all
interests that would follow the block

3. Make regular shipments. Instead
of making the city commission district

cal dealers will not buy, keep your
city agent regularly supplied with
what his trade will take. thereby help.
Ing him stabilize the business In which
you are both concerned.
a. Keep each other informed. Early
In the shipping season the farmer
should give his agent careful esti-
mate Of what may be expected, and
no material changes in the quantity
OF the regular shipment should be
made, unless prompt notice is given
the agent In order that he may secure
purchasers In case Of increase or
arrange to care for his regular GUS
toners If shipments will not meet re-
quirements. Successful shippers make
frequent use of the telegraph or long.
distance telephone to keep agents
posted as to changes In shipments.
The agent should also be expected to
keep the shipper Informed as to any
changes In the requirements Of the
market.
8. Avoid frequent changes in agents.
Some shippers prefer to divide their
shipments each day among numerous
commission merchants In the same
market. While 1t may be wise under
certnIn conditions to check one agent
by the sales Of another the most sue
cessful consignor seems to be the one
who selects an agent with great care
and then sticks to him, cooperating
with him in every possible way and
carefully scrutinizlng all settlements.

In such teamwork" and welcomes the
most exacting examination Of his
methods.

and suffering, have resorted to canni-

adds that food for 100000 In that ter

side sources for another year.
"The lack of food Is SO serious"
says the telegram. that the women
are forced to go into the fields and
obtain grass roots. which they cook
into kind Of broth and serve as
boiled green's. occasionally getting a
bit of rice to mix with it. This con-
stitutes the principal diet OF many.

latter name meant nothing to curious
persons. was being manufactured by
the war department at the rate Of ten
tons day when the armistice came.
The gas is being variously described
as 1.-The climax of the country's
achievements in the lethal arts" and
as 1.-THE most terrible instrument of
manslaughter ever conceived" The
department itself declares that It is
the most deadly of all war gases.
Most Deadly Of All.
1t Is said that ten airplane loads Of
"methyl" would have been sufficient to
destroy all life in Berlin. If such ex-
IRENE measures had been necessary,
and that a single days output would
have been sufficient to snuff out the
100000 human lives on the island of
Manhattan.
This gas was not only discovered by
PROFESSOR Lewis, but was also devel-
oped by him to a point where 1t was
ready for production at the American
university while those laboratories
were still under the control of the Blu.
reau Of mines, one Of the organizations
OF the department of the interior.
When this work was first taken I'D by
the bureau in behalf Of the military
authorities Professor Lewis was called
from his civilian duties as professor OF
chemistry ut Northwestern university,
Evanston. ILL.,. and at the request Of
the bureau was commissioned as cap
tain In the ordnance department and
assigned to the gas warfare service of
the bureau of mines. While acting in
this capacity Professor Lewis discoy-
cred and developed this gas, and 1S
days after the gas work of the bureau
Of mines was transferred to the jurls-
diction of the war department an H.
acre plant for Its manufacture was
started near Cleveland, o.
"Mouse Trap" Plant.
This plant, which was dubbed by the
workmen the mouse trap" because,
In order to prevent the leakage of In
formation, 1t was understood that the
men who entered would not leave un.
til the war was over, was in operation
within a miraculously short time, and
plans were made by the war depart
ment to have 5000 tons of this most
diabolicnl gas at the American front
by March 1, 1919. When the armistice
came the plant was well ahead of Its
production schedule, but the opportu-
nifty had not come for the use of the
gas ut the battle front.

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vioor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
Ing advertised for the purpose of making
and bust. and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
OF men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-p hosphate. which Is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements. btro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with It
z general Improvement in the health.
Nervousness seeplessness and lack of
energy. which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness. should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health.
CAUTION: = Although bitro-phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness. 1t
should not. owing to its tendency to in
crease weight. be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.
