United States with regard to limita-

Meeting on Pacific Questions
Two hours and half later, at 8
O'Clock, there was another assemblage
Of the leaders of the delegations. This
time, in addition to Mr.. Hughes and
the chiefs of the British, Japanese,
French and Italian delegations, there
were included the heads Of the Bel
gian, Dutch, Portuguese and Chinese
bodies. This was the committee on
program and procedure with respect to
Pacific and Far Eastern questions.
This meeting did not last as long as
the first, but when 1t was over and the
dignitaries had scattered without re-
vealing a syllable Of what had tran
spired the correspondents were con-
soled with the promise of another
statement. Here it is:
Procedure with respect to Pacific and
Far Eastern questions, appointed by

at was decided to recommend to the
conference the appointment of a COM
mittee composed of all the plenipoten-
tiary delegates of the United States,
Belgium. the British Empire, China,
France, Italy, Japan, Netherlands and
Portugal, to examine and report to the
and Far Eastern questions, and with
power to set up such subcommittee
as it might from time to time deem
desirable. Mr.. Hughes, as chairman of
the committee and of the conference,
undertook to submit this proposal to
the conference.
"Mr. j. Butler Wright was nominated
as secretary to tho committee on pro-
gram and procedure with respect to
Pacific and Far Eastern questions"
BRAND Goes for Walk
But there was some comfort left in
hope raised by the French that
Premier BRAND was to submit himself
to an interview at 4:30 in the afternoon
on the seventh floor of the New
Willard Hotel. There was a great
gathering of correspondents there-New
York, French, British, Chinese, Japa-
nese, Canada.
"But be patient, messieurs," they
were told. Monsieur the Premier has
gone to call at the Embassy of France"
Before 4:30 M. BRAND had returned
and Immediately retired to his suite.
Soon, now, every one whispered.
At 1850 Aristidc BRAND emerged.
He gazed happily at the assembled
newspaper correspondents. Then an
elevator door was flung back, NJ BRAND
entered the car, the door was banged
shut and the correspondents mouths
flew open. The Premier had gone for
| walk.
| Representatives of the French For
eign Office then let it be known that
it had been decided that M. BRAND
would not talk to-day. Instead, he
would let the newspaper men depend
for their news on those official state
merts from the American State Depart
ment.

CLOGGED BLOOD WiTHERS
THE BODY
Workers Sick And Weak From
Exertion Take Guides Peoto.
Mangan

Men and women who toll. either
physically or mentally, use up energy.
When they overwork they use more
energy, and sometimes the blood gets
in rundown condition. Without rest
the blood cannot get back to normal,
so that it becomes clogged with waste
matter from over-exertion.
The clogged blood virtually withers
the body. The strained looks on pale
faces, the thin, bloodless arms, the
sunken checks and necks, the dead
tired feeling, are the results Of stale
blood depriving the system of life
giving oxygen.
Workers go to the drug stor, and
get GUIDES ,Pepto-Mapgan when they
feel weak and run down. They take it
in either the liquid or the tablet form.
That makes the blood rich and red
and drives out the poisons. Lifc-giv-
ing oxygen, carried by the little red
cells, renews the strength and builds
up the entire system. Look Tor the
name Guides Pepto-Mangan" on the
package. Advertisement

OLD HICKORY DIVISION
AT NASHVILLE, TENN.

Men of the Old Hickory Assoc,a-
tion, veterans of the 'Thirtieth Divis-
ion, which three years ago was
pounding away at the German strong
holds in France, will again march in
review before General at their third
annual reunion, to be held in Nash
vile, Tenn, on November a and 5.
In fact, it is probable that Marshall
Foch, Generalissimo of all the Allied
armies, who has been invited to ac-
company General Pershing to Nash
vile, will also be in the reviewing
stand.
The parade of the veterans, how
ever, will form but part of the full
reunion program. Men who billcted
in French villages or battle field shell
ters three years ago will find the
homes of Nashville open to them.
Plans have been made to house and
care for not less than ten thousand
veterans and more if they should
come.
Convention sessions will be iIeld in
the auditorium with a capacity of sew
en- thousand. Dances and other social
features enough to give every man
who comes an opportunity to enjoy
himself are being arranged for the
hosts of the occasion, by the citizens
of Nashville.
Separate headquarters for each of
the separate regiments of the Divis-
ion will be established in Nashville,
and in the billeting arrangements it
is planned, as far as possible, to put
men out of the same outfits in the
same section of the city.
There will be ell sorts of opportu-
mites for oil dinners to get together

the Mexican border for some, at Camp
Sewer, over the Hindenburg Line,
through the Argonne, into Belgium
and Luxemburg and home again.
In the course of its training and
travelling and fighting no Division in
the American Army made a more
creditable showing than did the Caro-
lima and Tennessee troops. The
achievement of the division in the first
smashing through the so-called Hin
denburg defense system at Bellicourt,
across the st. Quentin Canal Tunnel,
is one of outstanding achievements
Of the entire war, while the artillery
brigade, operating separately in the
st. Mihiel, Argonne and Woevre sec
tors, took rank as one of the most eff
fective artillery outfits Of the army.
Railroads have granted reduced
rate one and one-half fares for the
round trip to members Of the Division
Association. Members planning to at
tend may come to Nashville, paying
the full fare, and there receive their
certificates of membership emitting
them to half fare on the return trip.
