~ S'A' "S"otth'eu tFeSs.
LONDON, July sharp criticism of
the paucity and slowness of commu-
nicatfons by steamship, airplane, tele-
graph and wireless between Great
Britain and the Dominions was voiced
at tuesdays session of the imperial
conference. at which a decision was
reached to appoint committee to con-
s:der the development of communi-
catlons throughout the empire. The
otncial text of the speeches delivered
at the meeting was issued today, and
lE IL there were expressions OF dis
approval Of Americas s world distribu-
ton of news.
Premier Hughes of Australia made
an uhtaForable comparison between
the British wireless service and with
the German installations that were
IN oneration before the war. as we'll
as those at present existing in the
United States. = He said the United
states was conducting wireless serv-
ices to England, France, Norway,
Japan and Germany. and was arrang-
ing to cover other fields.
U. 8. Radiates Everywhere,
He declared America was daily,
radiating in every direction, not only
American news. but American con-
cepts OF world events, and instanced
the transmission of such news to
China, which. he said, formed it's
opinion OF the British empire thereon.
while Great Britain did nothing. He
contended that II Great Britain and
the Dominions failed to increase their
wireless telegraph and wireless tele-
phone service in the immediate fu-
ture they would be left far behind
other countries.
Premier Meighen of Canada said
that. while Canada had less cause
to complain tban Australia and New
Zealand. her exchange OF news with
the mother1and was unsatisfactory.
News that comes to Canada" he
asserted. filters through New York.
and Is censored there. not by govern
ment authorities, but from the Ameri-
can standpoint. 1t reaches us in an
undesirable condition, and, as a re-
suit. has an undesirable influence,
and very serious influence it is"
Churchill Comments.
Winston Spencer Churchill secre-
tary of state for the colonies, spoke
sympathetically regarding these COM
plants.
There is no doubt" he said, that
its news on vast scale, and. having
been laid the cost Of this collection
by internal circulation, it can afford
to dump news into other English
speaking countries."<
'"Apd advertise ITSELF" interjected
Premier Massey of New Zealand.
Mr.. Churchill declared it was vital,
in the dissemination Of news of the
British empire, that a strong British
empire atmosphere be developed, add
ing:

MADRID, July 7.-Elections will be
held throughout Portugal July 10. but
royalist exiles living in Spain do not
expect their party to obtain major
ity in the chamber of deputies. or even
a strong representation as a result Of
the balloting. They assert that the
republican government Of Portugal
has decided to use the registration
lists of 1919. from which most royal
list partisans were excluded, together
with followers of former President
Sidonio Paes. who was assassinated at
Lisbon in December, 1918. They say
that as result of this action they
will be unable to cast the number Of
votes their party is able to muster.
Col. Paiva Couceiro. acknowledged
royalist leader, former governor OF
Angola. and leader of various incur
sions into Portugal since the proc
lamation of the republic there, declar-
ed here today that return OF the
monarchy in Portugal was necessary
for the future development of that
country. In the course Of an inter-
view with the Associated Press. he
asserted that monarchist opposition
to existing Portuguese institutions
was not because the present govern
ment was operating as republic. but
that national existence under the pres
ent system would be impossible.

Reject IDEA TO REMODEL
Committee Finds New Scheme
Cheaper and Having Many
More Attractions.

Rejection of the plan to remodel the
Emery building. 1st and B streets
northwest, and the adoption of reso-
luton to procure as soon as possible
a site on which to build model con-
vention hall building. featured the
meeting yesterday afternoon OF the
joint committee of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce and the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
on the proposition of securing con-
Vention hall for this city.
While members of the joint commit
tee, previous to the meeting yester-
day. had been practically unanimous
in their decision to make use or the
Enerv building for this nurnose. an
entirely new plan was introduced BY
koUerl \. harper. former president OF
the chamber and originator of the
convention hall plan.
Realizing that the Emery building
project might run into great deal
more money than was anticipated by
those promoting the plan. Mr.. Harper
said that he had looked around the
city for other sites for the convention
hall
After careful canvassing of all
available locations for the proposed
buildings. Mr.. Harper asserted that he
found. in his opinion, an ideal site.
Near Navy Buildings.
1t is situated near the Navy Depart
ment buildings in Potomac Park, and
although the present plan will en-
tail the tearing down of government
building now on the land and the
building of new and model hall,
both members of the committee and
Mr. Harper felt that it would be much
more satisfactory in the end.
The cost of remodeling the Emery
building was estimated at s35o.oO9
by members of the committee and
architects who had looked over the
ground. while the cost of the site, to-
gether with the building, near Poto-
mac Park was set at only S250,OO0
by Mr.. Harper.
100000 less tan the Emery building
plan, does not include the furnish
ing and equipment of the new build
ing. it is thought that even when that
is completed there will be more than
$5O,00O less to pay than on the other
proposition.
The committee was unanimous in
indorsing the new plan and steps will
be taken in the immediate future to
put 1t into effect.
Athletic Advantages.
Not only does the new site excel in
beauty. being near the Potomac and
the speedway but the athletic ad-
vantageS are manifold. members of
the committee point out. Golf, tennis.
swimming. driving and walking. they
assert. are almost at the door of the
hall and can be readily used by the
people attending conventions, in
Washington.
The building is to be one story in
h,Sht and will seat about 1000 peo-
pie. Special attention will be given
to acoustics and arrangement of the
chairs and stage. A large and spa

house the exhibits and the first floor

case of a dance or other entertain

Ten Long Years
MINNESOTA MAN SAYS TANLAC
OVERCAME HIS TROUBLES AND
HE HAS GAINED rs POUNDS.

''Tanlac has actually built me up
from one hundred and forty-tlve to
one hundred and seventy-one pounds
in weight and 1 now feel just as good
as I did when was twenty years OLD"
said J. S. Levi, of 100 w. Third St.,
ST. Paul, Mimi, well-known machn-
est for Armour and Co.
However, before I got Tanlac |
suffered for ten long years all the
misery that goes with bad case OF
stomach trouble and disordered
kidneys and was in a terribly run
down condition. Everything ate
caused indigestion and I bloated up
until I wasn't able to get a good long
breath. My back panied me nearly
every minute of the day and hurt SO
bad it was just agony for me to at
tempt to bend over. At morning l
was so stiff and sore 1 could hardly
get out of bed, and it looked as if I
could find nothing that would help
me.
swell, sir, 1 finally ran across
Tanlac and that proved to be the
turning point in my suffering, for it
has simply made new man OF me.
That awful stomach trouble has en-
tirely disappeared, my kidneys no
longer bother me and | never have
an ache or pain. I have picked up
twenty-six pounds in weight, feel
fine all the time and can truthfully
say Tanlac has done me more good
than everything else I've ever taken
put together"
