WORSE THIS SPRING
Owing to Rundown Condition
Caused by the War.

Caused by the War.
Anxiety and worry have a bad eff
feet on the nervous system. and de-
range the bodily functions, especially
digestion and eXcretion. Who es-
capped them during the war? They
have made nervousness, paleness,
lack of vitality worse this Spring.
The very best medicine to take now
Is Peptiron. 1t strengthens and tones
the nerves. 1t gives a good color to
the lips and checks. 1t is the great
vltali2er, giving healthy activity TO
all the vital organs.
This good medicine, which is a real
iron tonic. makes the blood rich in
red corpuscles, an abundance of
which is Indispensable to perfect
health. 1t promptly relieves mental
and physical exhaustion. creates an
appetite, and promotes sweet, re-
freshing sleep. Peptiron is in the
form of chocolate coated tablets. and
is pleasant to take.

Declares Republicans
by Shantung Act Are
Making U. S. Big Bully

Washington, Aug. 26. - Declar-
ing the Republican majority of tha
Foreign Relations Committee was
attempting by the Shantung amend
ment to the peace treaty to drive
poisoned dagger" into the peace
treaty and to place the United
States in the position of a big
bully" Senator McCumber, of North
Dakota, the only Republican mem
ber of the committee who voted
against the amendment, asked the
Senate to-day to overrule the COM
mittees action.
The speaker said mo greater
blow could be ever struck against
the real interests of China" than
by the committee amendment the
actual purpose of which, he asserted
was to kill the treaty and the
League. The amendment provides
that the old German rights in Shan
tung province shall go to China in
place of Japan.
why did the majority of this
committee pause in the midst of
their hearings to make this particu-
lar amendment" he continued,
and then proceed with the usual
leisure to lay out dates for further
hearings which will consume a week
or more The purpose is apparent.
1t is to signify to the country that
the Senate is hostile to this treaty
1t is to put Japan in a position where
she cannot, without an appearance
of being coerced, do what she has
promised to do. 1t is to create
trouble between this country and
Japan and thereby send the first dag
ger thrust into the body of the
treaty"

DAYLIGHT SAVING
MEASURE GAINING
MANY ADHERENTS
Five Instead of Seven Months
May Be Fixed by
City
PETITIONS NOW READY
More Businessmen Are Sign
ing Up With Employees
For Sunshine Hour

When the ordinance which will
provide for daylight saving next year
goes before CITY Council it is prob
able that it will call for an extra
hour of sunshine five months of the
year, instead of seven as provided by
the popular measure recently re-
pealed by Congress despite protests
registered for virtually every city in
the United States.
Final decision on this point may
hinge on the action taken by New
York City, although supporters OF
the movement stated to-day that
with a majority of Harrisburg men
favoring daylight New York's action
will under no circumstances rule
adversely here. 1t was said, how
ever, that the five-months term will
answer all purposes and will elimin-
ate virtually all legitimate criticism.
Petitions to be distributed among
the shops, stores, factories and in
dustrial plants calling on Council
men to stand by the workingmen's
desires, will be ready this afternoon
for distribution tomorrow. Presi-
dents of the West End and the
Allison Hill baseball leagues and
the players who this summer play
cd before thousands of persons are
appealing to all residents of the
city who have enjoyed the health
full outdoor sport to lend a hand
and save the national game in Har-
risburg. without the hour of day
light the futures of the two leagues
is in grave doubt.
While the great majority of the
men and women interested in the
movement recognize that no more
confusion can result from the city's
going ahead with it's own daylight
saving, that results now. 1t must
be understood that everything will
operate as smoothly under "homo
rule" as under the national act. The
only difference will be in the train
schedules and this one fact easily
can be remembered.

Reservation Agreed to by the
Foreign Relations Commit
tee Will Eliminate Ameri-
cans From International
Commissions
VOTING is ALONG
STRICT PARTY LINES
Preparations Commission Only
One Not Affected Because
of Connection With Ameri-
can Shipping Interests
By associated Press.


Washington, Aug. 26.-Under
blanket amendment to the Peace
Treaty agreed to to-day by the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
American representation would be
eliminated from the various inter-
national commissions which are to
supervise European reconstruction,
with the exception of the reparatiors
commission and such others as are
to be appointed by the League of
Nations.
The change would affect about a
score of commissions and would
change the language of the Treaty
in more than fifty places.
The committee divided along
strict party lines, with nine Repub-
l:can votes cast in the affirmative
ard seven Democratic votes in the
negative. Not all of the Democrats
were present, but. by agreement,
their votes were cast. Senator Nc
Cumber, of North Dakota, who
voted with the Democrats in oppo-
sition to the Shantung amendment,
adopted Saturday, was the only Re-
publican absent. His vote was not
cast. Although the committee acted
specifically on only four of the
Treaty provisions IN queSuor, there
was an agreement that the votes on
these separate provisions would be
only perfunctory and to carry into
effect the blanket proposal.
The amendments were presented
by Senator Fall, Republican, New
Mexico, who SAID he excepted the
reparations commission because
there were certain decisions affect
ing American shipping interests in
volved in the commissions work.
The change also has no effect on
provisions like that regarding the
! Saar basin, where the commission
is to be appointed by the League.

Weakest Grade in Army
Is General OGcer-AnselI

Washington, Aug. 26.-Most gen.
eral officers of the army lack ex-
perience in handling men and their
views on military justice should
not be accepted morally because
they are of high rank. Senate Mil
itary Committee was told to-day by
Samuel T. Ansell formerly acting
judge advocate general of the army.
The committee is considering the
Chamberlain bill for revision of the
military justice system.
1T is a well known fact" said Mr..
