The Brussels reports of a German
government overthrow are not con-
firmed from any other source, and it
may be noted that the dispatches them
selves carry their own qualifications.
emphasizing the lack of positive infor-
nation.
If 1t should prove true that there has
been a new uprising in Germany, it
would appear to have been deliberately
timed to coincide with the date set for
putting the treaty of Versailles into
effect and creating state of peace be-
tween Germany and the allied powers.
News dispatches from Germany are
ordinarily at least "a hours in reaching
this country, and the latest messages
from Berlin, received on Friday, bore
Thursdays date. These messages indi-
Gated some unsettlement in labor condi-
tions, particularly in the vicinity OF
Essen and in the Ruhr industrial basin,
but the unrest reported did not appear
to be Of unusual significance.
The independent socialists have been
the disturbing factors for the govern
ment in the German internal situation.
Since the defeat Of the spartacan out
break last spring they have been threat
ening renewed effort to take control
of affairs. The. attempts to create
troubles in various sections OF the
country have been invariably put down
by the forces of Minister of Defense
Noske. Prominent German officials,
however, have been quoted as declaring
their belief that revolutionary risin2s
might have to be faced during the pres
ent winter, but expressing confidence
that the government will be able to
deal with them.
The present German government IS
coalition one, with strong representa-
tion of the majority socialists, who
have been working in harmony with the
representations of the other parties ad-
mitted to the ministry. The present
premier. Gustav Bauer, is socialist,
as is also Friedrich Ebert, the presl-
dent.

ished on Feb. a. The German repre-
sentatives were invited to Versailles
during April after the draft of the
terms of peace had been completed.
They received the treaty on May Z.
The treaty not only defines ths terms
of peace with Germany but contains
the league of nations covenant and the
provisions for the international labor
organization. The document comprises
| Is parts, with numerous an1leXes. IL
provided that as soon as il had been
ratified by Germany and three of the
principal allied and associated powers,
process verbal of the deposit of ratifi-
cations should be drawn up from the
| date of which the treaty would come
| into force as between the powers which
had ratified it, The treaty will enter
| into force for each other power at the
date of the deposit of its ratification.
In October last a sufficient number of
powers had ratified the treaty to COM
ply with the requirements for its effec
tiveness. Because of the sinking of the
interned German warships by their Of
! ficers and crews at Scapa Flow, how
ever, and the failure of the Germans to
live up to some of the armistiee terms,
| the allies on Nov. demanded that be-
! fore the treaty was put into effect Ger
many should sign protocol providing
| for reparation for tire destruction OF the
warships and guaranteeing the carrying
out of the armistice terms.
Since that time the question of the
protocol and particularly the repara-
/ tion provisions in it, have beeh under
negotiation between allied supreme
council and the German government. 1t
was only within the past fortnight that
the situation began to clear, an adjust
ment of the tonnage demands upon
Germany being reached.
Many Peace Acts Now Start.
With the taking effect of the treaty
a number of commissions created by il
springing into existence, the league of
nations will begin to function by the
calling of the first meeting of its coun-
ell and preparations will be hastened
for the taking of plebiscites in the
areas where the population is TO have
the opportunity of determining whether
their territories shall separate from
Germany and take on another allegi-
ance.
OF the commissions now beginning
their work probably the most impor-
tant is the reparations commission
which will do a great amount of the
labor incident to the execution of the
treaty, its special duty being to reg
ulate Germany's payment of indemni.

An experienced observer in charge of large office said 1t was a waste of words to tell most people to eat plain food. They prefer the food that de- lights the eye. Checking up on the after effects of the usual distresses of gasst- ness, sour risngs, water brash. loginess and so on may be avoided by following the meal with one or two Stuart's Dys~ pensia Tablets. These supply the stom- ach with an alkaline effect thus pro- noting normal conditions as in health. This puts the O. K. on so-called rich food. Men and women are but children of larger growth when it comes to eating the foods that satisfy, even though they may cause indigestion.
 Indigestion Is not necessarily confined to those who live high. It may follow so simple a process as the flavor of
