ULTRA PROTECTION ON
IMPORTS WILL CEASE
Government to Embody in
Bill Recommendations for
Joint Industrial Council of
Employers and Employees.

London, Aug. 18.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. jim a three hours
speech in the house of commons in
which he dealt with Great Britain S
domestic affairs generally, Premier
Lloyd George, today disclosed three
important decisions of the govern
ment. Two of these had been widely
discussed and the governments pur-
pose with regard to them was anxi-
ously awaited.
One of the decisions was that the
postwar plan of ultra protection.
under which imports were limited
to those granted special licenses by
the Board of Trade, will be aban-
doned September /, and the putting
into effect Of measures to prevent
dumping"
The second was the rejection of
the majority report of Justice San
keys coal commission which pro-
vided for the gradual naturalization
of coal mines and in its stead
launching a plan for partial govern
ment control by which the govern
ment will represent the owners of
coal lands who receive royalties
from mining companies, give the
miners a share in the control of the
mines, organize the mines into dis
tricts and establish fund for i'm
proving the living conditions of
miners.
48-Hour Labor Week.
Under the third decision, the gov
ernment will embody in bill rec
concentrations for a joint industrial
council of employers and employees
and a 4S-hour week and a living
wage applying to nearly all indus
tries.
The premier placed responsibility
for the delay in making peace with
Turkey upon the United States.
Great Britain, he said, desired to
know how far the United States was
prepared to assume her share in
guaranteeing the protection Of peo-
pie under the former Turkish yoke
and while awaiting this information
Great Britain had occupied Turkish
territory.
Lloyd George used strong words
in dealing with the necessity for the
promoters of the league of nations
to show good faith by reducing
He said those who be-
lieved most in the league Of nations
must trust it most and the rest
would follow them.
Great Britain was ready to reduce
as first condition of real
economy in world armaments and
if all other countries also were
ready, economy would result. If the
nations increased their armaments,
the premier declared, the league of
nations would be mere sham and

WILSON TO TELL
INSIDE STORY.
OFPEACE TODAY
President to Meet Members
of Foreign Relations Com
mittee in Oper Forum.

Washington, Aug. l8.-(By The
Associated Press.)-At a conference
in some respects unparalleled in
American history, President Wilson
will talk over the peace negotiations
and the treaty with the senate for
eign relations committee tomorrow
at the White House.
By virtue of extraordinary plans
to inform the public of every word
that is spoken, the meeting will
nave the aspect of an open forum
discussion at which the whole nation
can loo on.
As head of the American peace
delegation and one of the inner
circle which formulated the world
settlement at Versailles. the presi-
dent is to be asked the meaning and
purpose of publications of the league
OF nations covenant, the reasons be-
hind the decision to give Japan con-
troll in Shantung province, just
what part the United States is to
take in reconstruction, and many
other questions raised in senate con-
sideration of the treaty.
Hope For Whole Story.
Whether Mr.. Wilson will answer
fully in so public a manner all the
questions put to him. or will con-
slider that some of the information
he received at the peace table should
be held in confidence, as a matter of
national policy, remains conjectural.
But the committee members mean
to give him the opportunity, if he
chooses, to tell the whole of the in
side story behind the treaty.
Today the committee heard its
first full direct account of the Shan
tung negotiations from Thomas F.
Millard, all American writer, who
acted as adviser to the Chinese
peace delegation. He said tBe set
tlement was reached after the Jap
anese virtually had threatened to
bolt the conference, but he added
that President Wilson seemed to be
alone in considering the threat
more than a pure bluff"
All the American experts on far
eastern affairs at Versailles, Mr.
Millard declared, agreed that the
settlement meant war He had
heard that similar view was ex-
pressed in the letter from General
Bliss to the president, which the lat
ter has declined to send to the SEN
ate as matter of public policy. The
United States, the witness asserted,
could not avoid being drawn into
such war
Japan Excoriated.
Mr.. Millard gave it as his personal
view, based on 20 years experience
with Far Eastern politics, that Japan
never would leave Shantung until
she was confronted with "a superior
force" Asked whether he meant
superior moral force imposed by
the league of nations, he replied:
Il mean material force; Japan
does not care snap of her finger
for moral force"
During the day the strategic posi-
tlons of the opposing forces in the
treaty ratification fight in the SEN
ate showed no sign of change. but
there was another outburst of de-
bate during which Senator Borah,
republican, Idaho. declared that
news of unrest abroad was being
suppressed by British and French
news agencies while the senate is
being whipped to ratify the treaty
before the facts are known"

Probably no man in America was ever
better qualified to successfully treat the
diseases peculiar to women than DE-.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. The eases that
come to him run into many tho isands,
giving him an experience that rarely
comes to any one man. DR.. Piercs' found
that in nearly every case there were
certain vegetable growths which rarely
failed to give prompt relief in those
feminine disorders from. which so many
women suffer. He combined these roots
and herbs into temperance medicine
that he called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pres
cription. This medicine is sold in both
liquid and tablet form by druggists every
where. A weakly, sickly, backachy, head
achy, nervous; despondent woman, with
regular or irregular pains-with feminine
disorders that come in youth or middle
age-is pretty sure to find in DR.. Rerce's
Favorite Prescription the exact remedy
that her condition calls for.
