declared, however, that in order TO meet
these annuitieS the German exports
would have to be four times us great
ns the annuities. and the forcing up OF
the German export trade to this figure,
he said, would constitute n serious men,
ace to the rest Of the world.
The foreign minister's reference to
the proposed export tax of 1917 per cent
was that it must either be paid by the
consumer, if the price could be forced
mp. or by German industry, which would
thereby be weakened in its power to
compete. The result would be that the
exports would decline.
DR.. Simons then asked the fixing of
the total capital sum, on which Ger
many would pay interest and provide n
sinking sum in the usual way. He said
that If the Paris annutics were dis.
counted at = per cent. their values would
be 10000 900. 600 gold marks. but that
there was a dispute over the payments
Fire0dy made. These were estimated
by the Germans to be equivalent to
900 100000 pounds sterling. lie de-
rlarrd Germany was willing to agree to
the appointment of Joint commission

conditions:
First, chat the plebiScitc in Upper ST -

Two factors directly attack the film. One Of

Film-the great enemy

But this is more than beauty question. Film
ruins millions of teeth Most tooth troubles are
now traced to it.
Film is that Vscous coat you feel 1t cngs
to teeth, enters crevices and stays The ordi-
nary tooth paste cannot end it, SO the tooth
brush has left much of it intact.
It is the flm-coat that discolors, not the teeth.
Film is the basis of tartar. 1t holds food sub
stance which ferments and forms acid. II
holds the acid in contact with the teeth to
cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They, with
tartar. are the chief cause OF pyorrhea. All
these troubles have been constantly increasing,
because brushing failed to end that film.

HARDING AND WOOD
CONFER IN MARION
General Is Virtually Assured Of
Covernorship Of Philip
pine Islands
WEEKS POST CONFIRMED

Marion, o.. March Returning to
Marion for short visit before entering
Tho White House. President elect Hard =
ing went into conference today with
Major General Leonard Wood, who is
prominently under consideration for ap-
pointmept as governor general Of the
Philippine Islands.
Although no formal offer has been
made. those close to Mr.. Harding be =
,;eye his former chief opponent for the
presidential nomination can have the
Island governorship il he wants it. and
that the meeting Of the two here today
went long way toward making the
selection definite. A formal announce
ment on the subject may be made
shortly.
The President. elect and Mrs. Hard E
ing reached their home town from
Florida early this morning, after an
absence Of more than five weeks. Be
sides General Wood. there were no
callers to be received today. but they
were kept busy finally arranging their
personal affairs and making farewell
visits to neighbors.
Tomorrow they will be rendered a
formal farewell by the city. and they
will leave for Washington late in the
afternoon.
For the last twenty four hours Mr..
Harding has been overwhelmed with
kilograms and letters from all parts OF
the country felicitating him upon his
cabinet selections. you may say" he
announced last night, ''the President
eject is in. very happy frame of mind
over the expressions which have come
to him over the cabinet as far as made
public
At this juncture Mr.. Harding con
6rmed the selection of John w. Weeks
for secretary of war
Mr.. Weeks. who was formerly sen
stor from Massachusetts, might have
been secretary Of the navy but for his
fear that deep personal friendships
rooted in Annapolis days would preju
dice his chances to be the kind of a
naval secretary he would like to be.
E"Boies Penrose is pretty valuable
asset to America. said Mr.. Harding
yesterday in the midst of defense of
"politicians' like A. Tobias Hert, of
Kentucky. as an active force in Amer
lean politics.
DetrOIt, hurCh 10y "A r.
Edwin DENLY, named secretary of the
navy in President elect Harding's cab
inet, left here for Washington today to
prepare to take up his duties.
In his first public statement of policy
Mr.. DENLY. at a farewell banquet last
night, declared he would urge that there
be no material change in the naval
building program and that the first line
Of defense be kept at the strength war
ranted by the Importance of American
interests. He had no idea that war
jmpended, he said. but considered a
potent fleet an insurance against such
b happening.
