BILL IN HOUSE
Congressman Tinkham Presents
Resolution Designed to
Hasten End of War.
RECOGNIZES VERSAILLES
President in Conference Over
Treaty Defeat, Expected to
Issue Statement.

A joint resolution declaring the
resumption of a state Of peace be-
tween the United States and Ger
many was introduced in the House
today by Congressman Tinkham OF
Massachusetts.
While repeating the joint resolu-
ton adopted April 9, 1917. declaring
war. it is provided that Germany
must recognize all rights which the
United States might have gained un-
der the treaty of Versailles had this
country ratified the treaty. II Ger
many should fail to do this. the
President is empowered to retaliate
by prohibiting by proclamation the
resumption of trade relations or the
extension Of loans or credits.
Tlnkham Explains It
Should the peace OF Europe be
again threstened, the Tinkham reso-
luton declares that this country
would regard such an international
development with grave concern"
and deal with 1t as the exigencies
of the situation demanded. There IL
no pledge OF military participation
which would commit the United states
to a dennite alliance In the event OF
future European war. 50
Mr.. Tinkhaln said: "a resolution de-
claring peace with Germany should
now be passed Immediately. Ixintro-
duced such q resolution December !
last after the frst rejection OF the
treaty or peace In order that the
House of Representatives, as Is re-
quired by law, should act in con-
currencc with the Senate.
Common sense and the logic OF
events dictate this course much moro
powerfully today than then. The
present anomalous condition of the
United States being neither at peace
nor at war with Germany is neither
marked by dignity nor common sense.

"The covenant of the League of Ma
tions, as the President was originally
plainly and forcibly told, would never
pass the Senate in the same document
with a treaty of peace with Germany.
Nor will IL.

and for consideration OF the treaty

THE resolution which ] have offer

rights and interests under the treaty

well aware of the fact that this well
known producer OF burlesque shows
nothing undone to present the
best that could be offered In stage

for doing his best this season, his
chief object to leave an excellent i'm
preston rests in the fact that he is
producing more shows this season,
and his one aim is to give the pub
lie what they want and they will
come.
THE Best Show In Town" is pre-
sented in two acts and twelve scenes,
which will be devoted to the gro
tesque and eccentric antics of his

producer, Frank Hunter. Also it
will cause to introduce a versatile

MINE %"VACATlON" HAS
LITTLE EFFECT HERE

The miners in the coal district of
Pennsylvania who have gone out on
Vacation" similar to that enjoyed by
a number of the railroad workers
throughout the country, has affected
the shipment of coal from the docks
in the vicinity of this city but little.
The shipment of hard coal has been
affected somewhat but soft coal con-
tinues to come in regular train loads.
For a period of several days the
steam bumper at the Lehigh Valley
Railroad docks was not in operation
and this gave raise to rumors that
no coal was being received at this
point. Today at the dock it was
learned that this bumper had been
undergoing repairs, but had again
been placed in operation. While the
bumper was idle the coal was dump
ed from other leaders about the
dock. One hundred and sixteen cars
of coal were dumped at this dock
yesterday. Five train loads of coal
were received from the mines yester-
day also.

Not only is there a beautiful love

upon thrill keeps the audience in a
pitch of wondering what is next from
the beginning of the picture to the

stunts that are seemingly impossible,

DISEASES AND

I've tried all kinds of remedies
which are supposed to cure disease,
and there are some which give relief
from anguish, fantods, pain ana
grief. Some pills will drive away
the pain, and leave you feeling safe
and sane, but only for a while, be
surel There is relief, but there's no
cure. The dark green pains will
all come back and make your weary
sinews crack, and smoking, slide
along your bones until you fill the
night with groans. Beware the pills,
whate'er their hue. the green, the
purple or the blue, which lull you
for a little while, and seem to urge
a hopeful smile. For when the
aches come back again. as they will
come to pillfed men, they'll climb
your tendons and your thews, and
they'll have spikes upon their shoes.
There's but me cure for fieshy ills,
and that cures not disguised as
pills. The Good Book tells OF II old
gent who meath his maladies was
bent; he often to the doctors slept,
"and with his fathers then he
slept" And that's the only cure
I know, for all life's miseries and
woe; just cast away the juice Of
squills. the porous plasters and the
pills the trusses and the liver pads
and go and slumber with your dads.
