ORLANDO SAYS WILSON'S
"1NJUSTICES" HURT ITALY

ROME. March 21.-The pictures
drawn by Robert Lansing, former
American Secretary OF State. In a
series Of magazine articles, OF the
chief figures at the peace conference
are exaggerated. according to a state
ment made today by Former Premier
Orlando. who headed the italian peace
delegation to Paris.
Mr.. Lansins's article representing
N. Clemenceau as kind OF tyrant
and Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Lloyd George
as infants was a great exasgeration,"
said the Italian statesman. M
Clemenceau's position at the peace
conference was most difficult. Natur-
ally the United States. like others, did
not get the exact kind of peace she
wanted. Italy in particular suffered
from Mr.. Wilson's injustices."

with s2.7ss. 100000 in the correspond
ing period a year ago.
"These figures with all of the coir-
plicated indications of interna-
tional trade, foreign exchanges, for
eign production costs, etc. empha-
size the difficulties of framing a
suitable tariff" says the Iron Trade
Review. Some of the country's
foremost ecoaomists point to the
laSge present total of exports and
to our expanded productive capacity
and assert that the real task Is to
maintain the hold recently secured
by us on foreign markets.
NATIONS CREDITOR POSITION.
"In addition. the nations creditor
position cannot be blinked at in
working out the tarin. Before tho
war we owed abroad $4,000, 900. 900.
Now the rest of the world owes us
nearly $4,000, 100000.
whether we will or not, many
'veighty authorities cay, Inevitably
we shall tend toward freezer trade,
because to continue to sell we must
buy.
Manifestly the country cannot con-
tinue to pile up indefinitely the vast
export credits without disarranging
our own and the worlds markets
and keeling exchanges upset.
Viewed from any angle. the tariH
doubtless will prove one Of the
hardest problems that the Harding
Administration will have to solve

SMALLER PACKERS
FORCED T0SUSPEND
Institute Claims Wages and
Cost of Materials Have Pro.
hibited Profits,

Most of the smaller packers in
Chicago. whose volume of business
runs into many millions Of dollars
annually, have suspended operations,
according to a statment Issued today
by the Institute Of American Meat
Packers, at the request of several
Of these packing houses.
They could not operate at a
pront with their products selling at
present values and with the cost of
raw materials and wage rates what
they are" says the statement.
The statement quotes Charles Rob
erts OF Roberts r. Oake. as saying
that "live stock has declined tre-
mendously but so have our products
and wage rates have not gone down
in proportion" He added that the
majority OF the smaller packers shut
down because they were facing an
inevitable loss on every hog dressed.
They found IL chaper to cease opera
tions than to sell at a grievous loss. "
According to Roberts, wages con-
stitutc the largest item In our ex-
pense. and Is next to the cost of
livestock. The reduction OF wages is
q reflection of tn. general readjust
ment Of commodity prices In other
industries"

CUMBERLAND, March 21.-Ths
Pentecostal Church at Giipin. about
a mile below Flintstons and twelve
miles east Of here on the Baltimore
turnpike, was destroyed early yes
terday morning by a hre Of sup
posed incendiary origin. There had
been no furnace hre in the building
since the previous Sunday, when the
last of a series OF meetings that
lasted a month were held. 1t 10
stated there had been disorder at
some Of the meetings and arrests
had been threatened, but no one
had actually been taken into Gus
today. IT Is thought the hre was
the result OF animosity toward the
organization.
Last summer the Pcntocostal sect
then without membership in the
Flintstone section, began series
of meetings In a tent which resulted
in the establishment OF a congregs-
tion OF nifty or sixty members
There was considerable disorder at
these tent meetings, caused largely
by men who became Intoxicated.

Bobby, a four-year-Old Columbus

attracted Bobby's attention.

WHEN THE CENTURY BEGAN
Mode Of Reckoning Is Simple, Yet the

Of Dispute.

The Twentieth century began on the
first day Of January, 1901. In COM
mon usage the First century means
the years A. D. l to 100; the Second
century the years 1O1 to 200; and the
Nineteenth century the years A. D.
1901 to 1900. The Fifth century be-
fore Christ was 500 to 4O1 d. @. A
century begins with the beginning Of
the first day in its first year, and does
not end until the close Of the last day
in its hundredth year. The mode Of
reckoning is often confused with the
common mode Of stating the age Of
person A person born at the begin
ming of the Christian era would be
called one year old during his second
year, that is during the course of the
year two; he would be called two
during the year three; and forty dur

reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill

A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been

preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; eorreets uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
