Paris Physician Demonstrates II to Be
Superfluous Organ.
Paris.-That the stomach is su-
perfluous organ is the startling discov-
cry of DR.. Victor Pauchet, reported to
the Academy of Medicine.
Affirming that he had successfully
removed the stomach from woman
80 years old, who had continued to live
happily in perfect health, he reports
that the operation also cured her of
cancer.
"The stomach's action is purely pre-
liminary," stated DIR. Pauchet. "The
mechanism for the vital part Of the
digestion is in the small intestine, with
the Intervention of the pancreatic
Juice and the bile. Therefore, provid-
ing the patient follows light diet, the
stomach can be dispensed with advan-
tageously."

HARVEY WILL SOUND ALLIED
REPRESENTATIVES IN THE
SUPREME COUNCIL.
AN INTERNATIONAL MOVE
United States Seeks "Iron-Bound
Agreement" From Powers That
They VIII Join Move for
Laying Down Arms.

Washington. - The United States
will make the first move toward world
disarmament at the sessions of the SUI
preme allied council in London.
This was definitely established, the
information being coincident with the
announcement by President Harding
that this country will be represented
on the council.
Col. George Harvey, the new Amer
ican ambassador to the court of st.
James, will formally approach the rep
resentatives of the other great powers
on possible limitation of armaments.
President Harding holds firmly to
the belief that the involved state of
world politics at the present time for
bids his taking personal action toward
disarmament. In taking this stand,
however, the president and every men,
Der Of his cabinet agree that reduc-
tion of armaments would be the great
est humanitarian venture in history.
The Harding administration may be
said to be solidly in favor of the idea,
but opposed to the United States do
ing anything until 1t has an iron
bound agreement from the other
powers that they, too, will lay down
their arms.
However. the president also real
ICES that the problem never will be
solved unless some power takes the
initiative. He views the meetings OF
the supreme council as the best medi.
um for preliminary parleys with the
representatives of Great Britain, Italy.
france and Japan. The three first
named at least are understood already
informally to have shown an inclina-
tion to cooperate.
The president made 1t plain that he
Is not even considering suggesting
disarmament plan for the action of
congress. His intention is for the
United States continuously to
strengthen its defenses while the su-
preme council digests the plans for
limitation of armaments that win be
submitted to it by Col. Harvey.

COUNCIL.
NOTE DELIVERED TO GEDDES
President Accepts Invitation Of Allies
to Participate in Settlement Of
War Problems-Our inter-
ests to Be Protected.

Washington, d. C.7-President Is,rfd-
ing accepted the invitation Of the AL
lied Supreme Council that the United
States be represented at the meetings
of that body as well as those of the
conference of ambassadors and of the
Preparations Commission.
George Harvey, newly appointed
ambassador to Great Britain, will sit
with the Supreme Council and take
part as the representative of the Presi-
dent of the United States in the DELHI
erations" of that body. Representa-
tion at the conference of ambassadors
in Paris and the Reparations Commits
sion will be unofficial. The ambassa-
dor to France will be the observer on
the former and Roland w. Boyden will
sit in an unofficial capacity on the lat
ter.
Decision to accept the councils invi-
tation was reached at the regular cab
met meeting and formal announcement
of 1t was made at the White House.
Soon afterward the text of the Ameri-
can reply to the invitation was made
public at the State Department.
This communication was delivered
to Sir Auckland Geddes, the British
ambassador, who handed to Secretary
Hughes the invitation of the council.

George of Great Britain, as its presi-
dent
In the highest administration circles
it was emphasized that the action TAX

the United States in any project 'sof

ory part in the settlement of the vast
economic and other problems growing
out of the world war. These settle
ments, it was explained. must necessar-
lily affect the United States as well as
the rest of the world.
Announcement that the invitation
had been accepted came after the Sen
ate had adjourned. Republican sena-
tors generally, however, expressed
their approval, while Democratic sena-
tors gave voice to disapproval and dis
appointment. Republicans took the
view that the Presidents representa-
tives would perform principally the
function Of obtaining information.
Democratic senators said they were
disappointed becssise the President had
not decided to have the government Of
ficially participate in the deliberations
Of the three bodies.

to Have Acc@2ted $500 as
Pardon Bribe.

of Sidney ]. Cats, former governor
of Florida, indicted by the Bradford
county grand jury for the alleged ac.
ceptance of $500 for his vote in favor
of granting a conditional pardon to J.

in 1918 of the murder of Deputy Sher-
iff Charles Scott and sentenced to
life imprisonment, was in the hands
OF the sheriff, having been issued by
Circuit Judge Long.
Bond was fixed at $4,000. Cats,
while still maintaining his home in
Defuniak Springs, is engaged in busi-
ness in Atlanta, and was understood
to be somewhere in Alabama.
The governor of Florida does not
possess full pardoning powers, but Is
one of the five members OF the par
don board, which includes four mem
bers of the governors cabinet and the
chief executive, and has the veto
power over the granting of pardons.

MEN TO SHOULDER THE GREAT
RESPONSIBILITIES ARE
HARD TO FIND.
MANY AVOID THE TASK
Prospects Of Business Cabinet"
Which VIII Decide on Allied
Ultimatum and Will Be Non
Political, Reported.

Berlin.-Germany Is still seeking
men to form new government. A
search is on for men who are willing
TO take the responsibility of accepting
the allied ultimatum and economic de-
mands, or stand the consequences of
their rejection.
Conferences among parliamentary
leaders and between the leaders and
President Ebert have failed to produce
men willing to take the responsibility
for either course upon their shoulders.
There is again talk that only a
business cabinet" which will be
wholly nonpolitical and made up chief
1y of officials appointed for the pur-
pose of acting temporarily as a gov.
ernment, can solve the problem for the
moment.
Gov. Schwander of the Province of
Hesse is the most mentioned as the
head of such cabinet.
There were endless conferences at
the Reichstag building without result.
For the time being the leaders Of
the three coalition parties-the Cen
trists, democrats and peoples parties
can be said to constitute direct
action" government. Until the Off
cial texts OF the London ultimatum
and all the forecasted reparation and
reprimand notes are received none of
the political parties is able to state
dts attitude.
President Ebert ordered Ambassa-
dor Mayer of Paris TO come immedi-
ately to Berlin. This is internreted In
some quarters as showing the inten-
tion of the president to request Mayer
to attempt the organization of new
government
Leader Streseman of the nationalist
peoples party, who was at first in
clined to undertake the task Of form
ing the new cabinet, now shows a
strong reluctancy. His party is dis
posed to urge Prince Buelow in his
place, but this is not taken seriously.

NO IMPEACHMENT FOR LANDS.
Bill May Prevent Dual Jobs In the Fu-

Washington.-Judge Landis will not
be impeached by the House for hold
ing the baseball job at $4,000 per
year but If the leaders of congress
succeed in carrying out their present
program no other judge will be able to
accept such a position while he is on
the bench. In private a majority of
the members of the house and senate
admit that it is wrong for Judge Lam
dis to hold the two positions, but they
insist what he is doing is no an i'm
peachable offense, as it does not in
volve moral terpitude.
The program is to leave Judge Lam
dis alone and enact law prohibiting
the holding of an outside job by fed
eral Judge. The Kenyon BILL reported
from the judiciary committee of the
Senate, is to be foundation for the
new legislation. 1t would require
Judges appointed on authority of the
United States to devote their entire

viani in replying to queries from Amer
lean correspondents as to what he

tionable features through amendment
of the covenant" he said. 1T will be-

it appear like super-state. When this

the United States can keep aloof from

behalf for the cordial reception ac-
corded him in the United States.
