LOLITA ARMOUR

Helping Her.

Chicago. Dec. 30.-Publication of
an article in the journal OF the
American Medical association that
the cure of Lolita Armour, daugh-
ter of J. Ogden Armour, of Chica-
go, by DR.. Adolf LorenZ, of Vienna,
was not a cure" today brought a
statement from the former Miss
Armour, who is now Mrs. John j.
Mitchell. Jr.
In 1903 and 1904, operations were
performed by DIR. John Rydlon of
Chicago, and DR.. Lorenz, on Mrs.
Mitchell.
81 can not say that a perfect cure
has been effected in either hip, bur
the hip treated by DR.. Lorenz is
far better than the other one, with
which he could do little because
it had been too badly mishandled
he said. / myself believe that had
it not been for the work done be-
fore he was called in my case he
could have effected complete
cure.
No "Miracle Man.
"Dr. LorenZ does not claim to bt
miracle man. He is simply doing

been too much exploited by thos,
who are handling his finances. Ht
has been given TOO much publicity
which, l am sure, he does not wan
and does not appreciate. He is do
ing all he can under the circum-
stances.
There is, of course, much jeal
ousy among doctors and they are
not eager to see great honors &c

am very fond of DR.. LoTenz and

BANK WILL AID
fSPENDERS IN
SAVING MONEY
~ NdtionaI City Has
NelD Plan to Reach
Thriffless.

New York, Dec. 30-(By The As
sociated Press.)-Men included in
the category of "spenders" have
been made the special subject Of
solicitude by the National City
Bank. This institution has inaugu-
rated an innovation in banking cir
cles in the form of a compound
interest department." where ac-
counts may be opened on deposits
of 81 or more, bearing interest at
312 per cent, compounded semi-an-
nually. Except in name, it is 4
savings department, but the New
York state law restricts the use of
that term to mutual savings banks.
The department is located near the
Fifth Avenue shopping district.
"Of course, We welcome deposits
from any one" an official of the
bank said, 'but our particular OBJ
joct is to get deposits from the
class of well-to-do people who have
never saved Systematically, and
who feel themselves out of the saw
ings bank class
Want $1,000 Incomes.
There are a great many people
Win incomes ranging from $Z,0OU
or $4,000 upward, who never save
anything They are people of
medium incomes who have not
learned how to be thrifty"
The compound interest depart
ment opened three days ago, and
600 accounts already have been
opened. From the fact that these
averaged above the sum with which
accounts generally are opened in
savings banks, the officials felt con-
| firmation had been given their be-
lief in the existence of an unde-
veloped field in which systematic
saving could be cultivated without
! competing with mutual savings in
stitutionS
Other large banking houses in
New York, are interested in the ex-
| pertinent.

soldiers entered the chamber and
stood at attention for half an hour

was continued, until there came

proposal for the Limitation of aux
iliary naval craft to a maximum of
1O, 1000 tons displacement was un-
derstood to have been virtually
agreed upon at the morning session

said such approval was expected.

have given their assent to the ad-
ditional provision of the American
proposal that the guns of auxiliary
craft be limited to eight inches.

marine operations against merchant

proposed amendment by the British
delegates whereby the five powers

Washington, Dec. 30.-France is
riding toward a fall so far as she
may be expecting the moral help
or support of the United States
government in the working out Of
economic problems.
The most far-reaching results
are likely to ensue from the French
policy of obstruction at the Wash
ington conference. The disappoint-
ment over Frances attitude on the
limitation of submarines is so great
that the strongest kind of talk is
heard in official circles, the net eff
feet of which is to draw Great
Britain and the United States
closer together as apart from
France
The feeling here is that France
is unyielding in her attitude on
the building of submarines largely
because Of the FTancO-British fric-
ton which has been developing
ever since the end of the European
war. The move of France in ask
ing for more submarines is regard
ed as purely anti-British and as a
VI AdL tue Il ChCE
claim to be anti-French tactics in
Europe on the part of the British,
especially in relation to near east
ern questions and a growing con-
cord as between England and Ger
many.
Motive of ReVenge2
But while France is making her
gestures in the great game of Eur
opean diplomacy, hoping to bring
England to terms on continental
matters, she is forgetting the eff
feet upon the United States. I'm
fortunately for France nobody in
the delegation here seems to be
strong enough to shape French
policy which is being mapped out
in Europe irrespective of effects
upon America. Some observers
have suggested that France is re-
venging herself for the failure of
the United States to ratify either
the Versailles treaty or the defen-
sive treaty between Great Britain,
United States and France. Others
are saying that France is playing
for a British guarantee of French
security and that at the proper
moment she will yield her demand

PROTOCOLS OF THE Ell
DERS OF ZION.
New York-The 1920 report of
the American Jewish Committee
which is made public, devotes
considerable space to anti ewish
propaganda in various parts of
the world with particular refer
ence to Henry Ford's campaign
through his Dearborn Independ-
ent.
Referring to ''the spurious
protocols of the Wise Men Of
Zion," report says that the COM
mittee had been aware of the ex-
istence of this document for some
time before it's publication in
England.
"It was offered to some men,
bers of the committee in expecta-
ton that they would pay for it's
suppression" says the report. "In
February, 1920, the document was
published in England anony-
mous1y under the title The Jew
ish PERIL and similar editions
appeared in Germany, France,
Italy, Denmark and Spain. In
spite of the fact that authorities
on Russian history and literature
have clearly shown that the pro-
toco1s are fragrant fabrications in
vented for counter revolutionary
propaganda in Russia and that
they were recently employed by
officers of General Denikin to
stigmatize the Bo1shevist revolt
ton as a purely Jewish move
ment, an elaborate edition of this
forgery appeared recently in the
United States. Copies Of it were
ANONYMOUSLY circulated among
members of Congress, publica-

Of series of articles based on
