BY EDWARD W. plckARD

~ EVELOPMENTS Of last week al
II most if not quite put the Genoa
conference on the rocks. More than
that, they brought Great Britain and
France to the verge of a rupture. At
this writing the prospect is dark, for
all except the soviet Russians, who
appear to have Unanswered themselves
into just the position they wanted.
Prodded by Tchitcherin and his col
leagues to give quick answer to the
proposals of the Russians, the allies
drew up terms which Lloyd George
declared embodied the maximum that
would be granted Russia and the mini
mum that would be demanded from
her. Summarized, these were:
Russia recognizes her prewar debt.
The war debt viii be recognized,
but~reduced.
Russia must restore foreign property
or indemnify the owners for damage or
confscation.
Russia will be expected to take such
judicial and other measures as will at
tract foreigners to Russia for business
purposes.
France had yielded to the British on
the matter of absolute restoration of
confscated property, at the insistence
of Lloyd George, but forced an amend
ment forbidding property in Russia to
be allocated to other persons than the
former owners. To this Lloyd George
appended this rider:
eff exploitation of property can only
be carried out by it's incorporation
in a general group, the preceding ar
rangements will not apply"
France then signed, but Belgium
absolutely refused to approve the prop
osition. Barthou hurried TO Paris
and Premier Poincare told him some
things that had not come out at Genoa.
Thereupon the French cabinet agreed
unanimously to support Belgium and
withdrew the assent to the proposals
offered to Russia. This alone was
enough to strain international rela-
tions, but the Paris press added to it
by it's explanation of the dispute over
the property clause. 1t made the fat
charge that the soviets were negotiat-
ing to transfer to English and Ger
mans oil field property that belongs
to Frenchmen and Belgians, and that
Lloyd George added the above men
toned rider to further that scheme.
1t did not seem probable, anyhow,
that the Russians would accept the
terms offered them. They were espe-
cially displeased with the fact that
recognition of the soviet government
was not included, and they did not
like the article concerning foreign
property restoration. There were
other features that did not suit them,
and they got into communication with
Moscow, with the intimation that their
answer might not be ready for some
time.

HAD SPEECH WITH GOVERNOR
Certainly Short, but the Incident
Gladdened the Heart of This
indiana Small Boy.

When Governor McCray and others
boarded an interurban to visit the
new reformatory site at Pendleton
they found the car already well filled.
The governor sat down by a small
boy from Fortville and a moment
later asked him to exchange seats
with another member of the party so
that they could continue converse
ton. Shortly afterward the lads
seatmate disclosed to the boy that it
was the governor be had accommo-
dated.
The incident made an impression
and when the boy reached home he

afraid that he thought I was SO young
and foolish.
mo, no, Mr.. Fish-hawk, do not
worry. You suit me to perfection"
"Ah, I am so glad, so glad indeed"
said Mr.. Fish-hawk.
"Now we must be getting on with
the building" said Mrs. Fish-hawk. II

here by the good old ocean," she
added.
IAN excellent place for our home y
said Mr.. Fish-hawk.
.'Now / do hope no one annoys us

Fish-hawk, "but we will be all right.
I think the day has gone by when
creatures thought it smart to hurt
birds.
''Well, I must not chatter so much
but I must gather some sticks"
So Mr.. and Mrs. Fish-hawk gathered
great many little sticks for their nest
1t made Mr.. and Mrs. Fish-hawk a
little nervous to be watched and they
squealed and fretted and talked
excitedly. But after time they
realized that the. people were merely
interested in their building and
wouldn't hurt them for anything.
81 am SO glad" said Mr.. Fish-hawk,
shat I can do my own building. I'd
hate to give the job to anyone else.
For example I've heard that people get
some one else to do their building
even get some one else to plan the
way their houses should be-"
''Yes, and I've heard that they some
times get others to say what should
be inside" said Mrs. Fish-hawk. 1T is
much nicer to do things for ones self
as the birds do.
"Our home is really our home. We've
built it and it is as we wish it to
be, and it is in the place where we
want it to be.
ut is our own home, our truly own
home. We may be able to build easily
but it seems to me that whether /
could do it easily or with difficulty I'd
always want a beak in my own little

want a hand in the work but say

"And a very fine bird too" said Mr.,

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle inn
mediately from any drug ctore.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

G AMUEL GOMPERS was in the pub
- lie eye and the public ear to con-
siderable extent last week. In May
day manifesto the venerable head OF
the American Federation of Labor
made a vigorous attack on Bolsheyism,
declaring that American recognition OF
the Russian soviets would constitute a
NEEDLESS and base betrayal. of ciyiliza-
ton" He denounced the Bolshevist
propaganda in this country and assert
ed that he had ample proof to substan-
tiate the charges that red millions
have been sent to America for propa-
ganda purposes and that "W. q. Fos-
ter. who had no money, went to Mos
cow and came back and announced
that he was building great secret
machine to undermine the American
labor movement and turn it over to the
Red International, owned by Lenin.
He began publication of an expensive
magazine and proclaimed "a thousand
secret agents in a thousand communi-
ties"
A few days later Mr.. Gompers was
one of the principal speakers at a
mass meeting called by the New York
branch of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment, and in his adj
dress said that labor must make the
fight now, and we will never stop fight
ing until the rights Of the people have
been restored to them" Continuing,
he said: ST and the federation | repre-
sent are in favor of beer and light
wines and against any attempt to en-
force sumptuary laws aimed at per-
sonal liberty. Temperance was the
rule Of the great mass Of organized
labor, but the prohibitionists and the

subject of PREPARATIONS was excluded,
and then detailed a number Of the pro-
posals which he said Russia would not
accept.
1t is quite apparent that what the
soviet government wishes is not gen.
eral agreement with Europe, but sep
arate treaties with the powers, such as
she already has with Germany. 1t
probably could do this with Great
Britain and Italy and the neutral ma
tons, and probably with some other
powers, and France and Belgium
would be left In an uncomfortable po-
sition. And Russia will be able to
lay on France the blame for the fall
ure of the Genoa conference.
Soviet Russia's defiant attitude to-
ward the world was demonstrated in
the May day doings at Moscow. Leon
Trotzky, minister Of war, reviewed
100000 most excellently equipped and
drilled soldiers, and in an address de-
clared that Russia twill resist until
her last drop Of blood Is shed any at
tempts of the capitalistic governments
to enslave her."
France consented to sign the nonag-
gression pact proposed by Lloyd
George on three conditions: That
every European nation signed; that
Russia agreed to recognize all her
existing boundaries for ten years, and
that France surrendered none of her
rights to take action to enforce the
Versailles treaty. The Russians re-
jected the second of these and the
Germans the third.
