which the United States strongly dis
sents:
"The recognition of the Bolshevist
regime;
! "a settlement of Russian problems
almost inevitable upon the basis OF
dismemberment of Russia"
The note was in response to an
agreeable intimation" from the Ital-
ian ambassador that his government
would welcome a statement of the
views of the American government
on the Polish situation. Much of it
was devoted to statement of the
sympathetic feeling of the United
States toward the Russian people. In
reviewing past events as evidence of
this sympathy, the secretary of state
disclosed some hitherto diplomatic
secrets.
Mr.. Colby revealed that the Amer
lean government had withheld its
approval from the decision of the
Supreme Council at Paris recognizing
the independence of the "so-called
republics" of Georgia and Aserbaijan
because parts of them were carved
out of the old Russian empire.
1t also was stated that the United
States had taken the position that
the final determination of the boun-
diaries of Armenia which the presi.
dent has been asked by the Allies to
fix, must not be made without Rus
sia's cooperation and agreement"
1t was further disclosed that the
United States had persistently re-
fused to recognize the Baltic states,
with the exception of Finland, a
once independent nation, because it
held that they were rightly part of
Russia and that the territory en-
braced in them should be held for the
Russian people until they should
have organized stable government
eve are unwilling" the note
declared, chat while it (Russia) is
helpless in the grip of a non-repre>
sentative government whose only
sanction is brutal force, Russia shall
be weakened still further by a policy
of dismemberment conceived in other
than Russian interests"
Secretary Colby's statement Of the
attitude of the American govern
ment in the face of the threatened
overthrow of Poland by the Russian
Bolsheviki was unequivocal. He de-
clared that the people. of the United
States were earnestly sdlicitious''
for the maintenance of Poland's ter
ritorial integrity and political indie
pendence.
From this attitude we will not de-
part" he announced, land the policy
of this government will be directed
to the employment Of all available
means to render it effectual."
Pillage and oppression of the
Poles, he later declared would re-
move Russia wholly from out of ''the
pale of the friendly interests of other
nations"
The Italian note was accepted gen.
orally as evidence that the United
States, Great Britain and France
were as one in a determination to
prevent the absorbing of the new re-
public into Soviet Russia. Great
Britain's views on this subject were
outlined yesterday in the British
House of Commons by Premier Lloyd
George.
There apparently, however, was a
difference as between the views of
the British and American govern
ments on the questions of dealing
with the Soviet and preservation of

Prominent Physician Continues To
Use Tanlac In His Practice With
Surprising Results.

One of the strongest and most con
vincing evidences OF the remarkable
results being accomplished by Tan
lac throughout the country is the
large number Of letters that are now
being received daily from scores of
we'll known men and women who
have been benefited by its use.
Among the large number that
have been received recently none are
more interesting than the following
letter from DR.. J. T. Edwards, of
Fayetteville, Ga. DR.. Edwards, it
will be remembered, recently gave
Tanlac his unqualified Endorsement
in a public statement. and the testi-
monial published below was recently
given him by one of his patients.
His letter follows lust as it was
written:
Fayetteville, Ga.
Mr.. G. F. Willis, Atlanta Ga.
Dear Sir
am enclosing you herewith a
statement I just received from Mr..
T. NJ. McGough. He has sold out
here and is moving to Turin, Ga.
He was here this morning, and came
in to tell me what Tanlac had done
for him. He says too much cannot
be said about Tanlac. 1t certainly
has cured him.
J. T. Edwards, M. D.
Mr.. McGough's statement follows:
IT suffered from indigestion and
could not eat anything but what
would hurt me. Constipation gave
me a great deal of trouble also. My
were indigestion, heart
burn and gas on the stomach after
My appetite was irregular
and my food failed to, nourish me.
This trouble caused me to get very
poor-in fact l got so thin and weak
l was hardly able to go about.
II bought three bottles of Tanlac
on DR.. Edwards recommendation
and l am now feeling all right again
and an able to attend to business.
I gained seventeen pounds In weight
and am doing fine. Tanlac' did the
work.
II now recommend Tanlae TO
everyone who Is sick like l was and
wishes to take something that will
help him."
