Times Halls Entente Note as Victory
 for the President

London, Feb 2s.-Correspondence between the allied premers and President Wilson relative to the Adriatic settlement is given much prominence in this mornings Lon don newspapers, but several refrain from commenting on the situation.
 "So ends the attempt of Premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau to coerce the Jugo Slavs," says the Times, which throughout has sup ported President Wilson. 'Neither of them has reasons to be proud of his effort to bully this small peo- pie, which MT. Wilson has virtually forced them to drop. MT. Lloyd George and Premier Millerand have rushed into the true path into which the American president has driven them. We imagine he will continue to shepherd them along 1t, perhaps with a somewhat grim smile
 Mr. Lloyd George and M. Millerand are credited by the Express with drank sincerity" in conceding MT. Wilson's point and the newspaper thinks the best hope and the best guarantee of peace lies in Italy and Jugo Slavia reaching a settlement by mutual agreement.
 The Chronicle sharply scores President Wilson declares his orig inal note was scarcely less than violence"

BRILLIANT MINISTER
 VICTIM OF INFLUENZA
Rev. Dudley E. Ashford, Noted Preacher and Lecturer, We'll Known on Three Con- tinents, Was Ordered to Give Up Work.

Reverend Dudley B. Ashford is an extraordinary man. Although still on the sunny side of forty, he has crowded more service to humanity into few years than most men ac- complish in lifetime.
 Soon after his graduation from Hadley College, London, England, he was ordained minister at the famous New Court Congregational church, London. A short time thereafter he was selected to present the cause of Congo Reform and African Missions before the people of Norway, and toured that land with such success that he was greeted by enormous crowds at every meeting.
 In 1908, under the auspices of the Colonial Missionary Society, he was sent to New Zealand and for three years labored as a missionary among the Maoris, where his experiences were novel and thrilling.
 In 1916 he returned to England and served for three years at Wood Street Congregational church, Car diff, South Wales, the biggest Con- gregational church in the British Empire. It was while here that he fell one of the early victims of the great 1918 flu epidemic, an attack from which he had not fully recov- cred when he acctepd a call to the Queens Road Congrega tional church, St. Johns Newfoundland, where his forceful preaching soon attracted re. cord congregations.
 The strain of this work upon his undermined constitution proved too severe and he suffered nervous breakdown, from which now how ever, he has completely recovered. Moved by desire to serve his fellow men he has recently written a letter that tells how he was restored to health and strength.
 Moved By Gratitude.
 This, letter addressed to The Tan lac Co.,, Atlanta, Ga., is an eloquent expression of gratitude and is as fol lows:
 "Gentlemen: Your medicine, known as 'Tanlac,' has been such an inestimable blessing to me, that fell constrained to write and tell you so. In October, 1918, while minister of the Wood Street Con- gregational church, Cardiff, South Wales, I had severe attack of the Spanish influenza, from the effects of which I never fully recovered. l lost twenty eight pounds in weight -and was unable to recover my usual energy.
 Then in February, 1919, became the minister of the Queens Road Congrega tional church at St. Johns, My ministry was at tended with great success, but the strain proved too great for me and I had a serious breakdown. My ner- yes seemed to go all to pieces and my digestion became so deranged that ] could eat scarcely anything. My

Washington, Feb. 2s.-The House unanimously refused today to ap' propriate one million dollars for use until July 1 in attempts to prevent the smuggling of liquor over the Canadian and Mexican borders.
 Provisions for the appropriation had been inserted in the general de- ficiency bill by the Senate.

 '"If we are to patrol the Canadian frontier of 5000 miles and 1858 miles of Mexican border to search ., travellers for liquor," he said. 'it will take millions of dollars and re, quire three searching shifts a day.
 Representative Canno, Republican declared that nothing short of the army, and navy and the coast guard could stop the smuggling of liquor into the United States so long as there was demand for it.
