London. Dec. H.
The revocation of Sir Edgar Speyer's
certificate of naturalization creates an
absolutely unique situation in con-
nection with his baronetcy. While in
most quarters here 1t is assumed that
the baronetcy passes from him, this is
incorrect, according to the Home Of
flee.
''As matter of fact. 1t is not yet
known what the position is" said an
official The matter will be made the
subject of special consideration. A
foreigner cannot hold baronetcy, but
a case has never before arisen when a
man received the title and then be-
came foreigner"
Sir Edgar's motto was "Arduus ad
sclem"-"aspiring even to the sun" The
official College of Heralds. when asked
what would become of his arms-the
Speyer crest was a turkey COCK be-
tween two elephants trunks-if he was
deprived of his baronetcy. said such a
case had never occurred. They believed
the baronetcy question was one of law
and must be decided by the Attorney
General.
1t is believed here that Sir Edgar will
settle the dispute himself SO far as 1t is
possible for him to do so. In letter to
Herbert H. Asquith In 1915 protesting
against charges of disloyalty made
against him. Sir Edgar requested that
his resignation as Privy Counsellor b.
accepted and his baronetcy revoked. but
Mr.. Asquith replied that the King was
not prepared to take such steps.

Vigor and strength have as their
base rich red blood. Blood is rich when
there are plenty of red corpuscles.
They are the tiny red cells which swim

red cOrpuscles blood would be white
When OverwOrk, or straining, or i'll
ness weakens the blood, it diminishes
the number of red cells. Without u
sufficient number of red cells the blood
becomes watery, the body weak. Vigor
and strength fall off, so that physical
life diminishes like a fading plant. The
physical pleasures Of eating and sleep
Ing and exercise lose all attraction.
There is no zest in living.
After GUIDES Pepto-M -Mangan has been

ish the entire system. With good blood

Fort Smelling and was sent to France
as a provisional second lieutenant in

Limitation, left in the background while
the far eastern negotiations are de
veloptng step by step the policies to-
ward China, has been advanced TO a
point where it may soon resume a
place Of predominating interest in the
arms conference.
1t has been indicated that both the
American and British experts had vir-
tualIy completed their work on details
OF the American reduction plan, and
would be ready to report to the con
ference early next week The Japan
ese experts had no similar announce
ment TO make, but it was assumed
they would not permit themselves to
be put in the position of delaying Sc
riously the progress Of the negOtia-
tions
The crucial point in the discussions,
as viewed by the American delegation
at least, is the "5-5-3" ratio of capital
ship strength which forms the basis of
the American plan, and it is upon this
feature that the considerations of the
conference are expected to center
when it turns again to the naval qUes-
ton 1t was said authoritatively that
In the opinion of the spOkesmen of the
American government all questions re-
lating to auxiliary craft are of collat-
eral Importance only and can be cas-
lly settled once there is an agreement
on capital ships.
Conference officials are understood
to feel that the attention of the dele
gates can be diverted from the far
eastern problems to the subject of ma
val armament without cOmplicating
the procedure of the conference, and
the American delegation in particular
has shown a desire to get back into
naval discussions as soCn as the work
of the experts viii permit. The Ameri-
can delegates are declared to be we'll
satisfied with the progress made in
the far eastern negotiations, but i'm
patient to get the naval negotiations
out Of committee for a more definite
exchange of views among those who
will actually have the final decision.
