PARIS. Jan. 1.-THE draft of the
American plan for league of nations

mission has been finished, even In
small details, and Is the most COM

having been strengthened consider
ably since the last conference, and
will be presented to the preliminary
conference by President Wilson.
The President has not yet accepted
the final draft, but his approval is
expected. He is likely to yield to

Wilson BIunder Is Seen.
Evidently the commission is anxious
10 obtain evidence that the country
stands behind the President in re-
gard to this, the crux of the situa-
ton. and approves the plan offered,
which is intended merely as tenta-
tive proposal. II the Presidents plan
is followed an opportunity will be
Afforded for discussion of the Amer
lean plan before the meeting of the
actual peace conference.
The evidence Of pronounced Repub-
llcan hostility to certain features Of
the Presidents policy undoubtedly
has had great weight in determining
the attitude Of Americans on the con-
troversial features of the plan. IN
the opinion of many here the Presi-
dent made n great technical blunder
in waiting so long In drawing up AMI
presenting the plRn for discussion. A
suggestion that he should do this
was made to him last spring by an
important official, but he demurred ;
the British situation regarding the
league was given as the reason.
An agreement was made then with
The British. The Sun Is informed, to
withhold all details Of the plan. In
view Of the important place that this
matter has assumed It is seen now
that this was q great mistake.

Gen. Smuts's plan has aroused In

that the American plan differs essen

holds that it IS incumbent on the
United States, as the leading propon'

Wilson'S plan first; the British and
French then could offer their schemes

All arrangements had been made
for first meeting on Sunday of the

Cravath Talks to Women
About Campaign Issues
Hopes League of Nations 0ues-
ton Will Be Settled Before
Next Year

The lessons in national preparedness
taught by Roosevelt, Wood and their
followers have taken such deep root in
the consciousness Of the American
people that preparedness will not be
an issue in the next Pres idential cleo
ton, said Paul D. Cravath. addressing
400 women politicians yesterday after
noon at the Republican Club. He
spoke on the issues of the forthcom-
ing campaign.
81 cannot conceive Of the tariff being
real issue in this campa gn.' he said.
Nor do | think the relations between
capital and labor will mark line of
cleavage. The Democrats are now as
denunciatory of radicalism and Social
ism as are the Republicans earnest
ly hope that the league of nations will
not furnish an issue, because | hope
before the next election the peace
treaty, with the league of nations prop
erly safeguarded but not radically
changed. Will have been signed"
Mr.. Cravath said the present system
of personal government was the most
dangerous that existed since the gov
ernment was instituted. President
Wilson had surrounded himself with
his own little coterie and it was the
"Wilsonian brand of democracy' that
the country would have to face in the
coming campaign he said.

mer years there was wcarsome de-
lay after each jumping competition,
while the hunters we're paraded,
stripped of saddles. to be looked over
for conformation. The judges filled
out a score card of points on each
horse, which will guide them when the
conformation question comes up. The
theory S that horse will not change
materially in looks during the week,
any more than leopard might change
his spots.
20 Entries in Hunters Glass
There was no recess at noon for the
reason that the Judges did not COM

afternoon session was called This
was hunters class, and there were
more than seventy entries. Allow ng
each horse only two minutes to make
the jumps it now could be seen that
this class was calculated to "stop the

Occasionally horse would refuse
and would be ordered out Of the ring
in short order. However, it was nearly
4 o'clock before the ring was clear for
the next class.
Ida Louise Fleitmann won this
jumping class with her bay mare
Golden Duck, and it was a popular
award, although there were a number

The Way to End 1t

TePsOoent is based on pepsin, the
digestant of albumin. The film is albu-
minous matter The object of Pepso-
dent is to dissolve it, then to constantly
combat it.
Pepsin long seemed impossible. It
must be activated, and the usual agent
is an acid harmful to the teeth. But
science has discovered harmless acti-
vating method. Now activated pepsin
can be applied, night and morning, to
combat that film.
Leading dentists everywhere are now
advising Pepsodent. Countless people
have already adopted it. And trial
tubes are offered everywhere to show
others what it does.
Send the coupon for To-Day Tube.
Note how clean the teeth feel after
using. Mark the absence of the shiny
film. See hc.v the teeth whiten as the
fixed film disappears
Let your own mirror show YOU what
Pepsodent means to your teeth. Then
decide for yourself about it. Cut out

A To-Day Tube of Pepso-
FEAA dent, to show you how to
an @ ~~ ~h~ end film. See below
On Your eeth Now

There is now on your teeth Shiny
film. You can feel it with your tongue.
1t clings to teeth, gets between the
teeth and stays.
The tooth brush alone doesn't end it.
The ordinary tooth paste does not dis
solve it. So month after month it stays
there and may do ceaseless damage.
That film is what discolors not the
teeth. 1t is the basis of tartar. It holds
food substance which ferments and
forms acid. 1t holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. Most tooth troubles are now
traced directly to that film.
Dental scientists have for years
sought way to end film. They have
known that brushing could not save
teeth if it left that film upon them.
Now that film combatant has been
found. Convincing tests, under able
authorities, have proved it beyond
question. The method is now embodied
in dentifrice called Pepsodent. And
we supply it free for testing to anyone
who asks.
