Mrs. Lewis Berman, 131 Penna
Avenue, Westminster, says: Il had
a severe attack of kidney trouble and
my back panied terribly as if it were
pierced by a sharp instrument. The
pains bothered me mostly before re-
firing at night and also in the morn
ing. Sometimes [ couldn't get up to
do my work. My kidneys didn't act
right, either and caused annoyance.
My eyes were so bad I had to wear
glasses. The doctor didn't do me any
good. A friend advised me to try
Deans Kidney Pills and I procured
a box which gave me great relief.
Doan's Kidney Pills are wonderful
kidney medicine. l use them now

mend them to others" Statement

SECRETARY HUGHES PLANS
PACT WITH KEMALiSTS
United States May Join Allies in
Treaty With the Turk
Nationalsts.

Washington, Nov. 16-The United
States will not hesitate to negotiate
one or more separate treaties of amity
and commerce with Turkey and pos
slbility with the Allied powers in Or
der to safeguard American interests
in the Near East.
While this government is combining
its participation in the Lausanne con-
ference to official observers, there will
probably result from the conference
one or more treaties of amity and COM
merce. Whether it will be necessary
to negotiate treaty with Turkey
alone depends on the character of the
settlement of Lausanne and particular
~ on the degree of independence with
which Turkey energies from the con-
ference.
Whether or not the treaties, protect
ing American interests as outlined In
the aide-memoire sent to London,
Paris and Rome by Secretary of State
Hughes, will be negotiated separately
with the Allied powers and with Tur-
key or negotiated jointly, this govern
ment intends to secure adequate
treaty guarantees for every phase Of
interest enunciated by the secretary
Of state.

SAYS FUTILE TO STAY THERE

Washington, Nov. 20.-Truman I'll.
,Newberry of Michigan, whose right TO
place in the senate has been a SUBJ
ject of long and bitter controversy,
has submitted his resignation with a
request that it become effective imme-
.diately
Letter to Governor.
In a letter to Gov. A. j. Groesbeclz
of Michigan made public here, Mr..
Newberry said he had been impelled
ito retire VOLUNTARILY because of the de-
feat of his Republican colleague, Sen
ator Townsend, in the election of Nov.
e. The turn of events, he said, would
make it futile fo. him to attempt to
continue his public service, since he
continually would be ''hampered by
partisan political persecution"
Right to Seat Confirmed"
Reviewing the outstanding features
of the controversy which grew out of
his election four years ago over Henry
Ford, his Democratic opponent, he de-
cleared his right to seat in the senate
had been fully confirmed" He added
that if In the future there seemed to
be opportunities for public service he
would not hesitate to offer himself to
his state and country.
The resignation brings to an end a
fight which already has made political
history and which it appeared would
be resumed early in the session.

NORTHWEST RAIL MERGERS
ARE CALLED UNFAIR
Walker Hines, Representative of Hill
Group of Roads Shows Alleged
Defects of Plan.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Modification
of the tentative plan of the Interstate
commerce commission to govern vol
untary consolidation of northwestern
railroads was sought by the Hill roads
at the opening of hearings before the
commission.
Walker d. Hines, former director
for the Great Northern, set forth the
willingness of the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific, the Burlington, and
the Colorado Southern (the Hill group)
to effect a merger.
He opposed the tentative plan under
which the Northern Pacific and Burl-
ingtOn would be placed in system No.
IA, the Great Northern grouped with
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
in system No. Ii, and the Colorado and
Southern, which is controlled by the
Burlington, transferred to system No.
16, with the Santa Fee. Control of the
Burlington is now held jointly by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
Following Mr.. Hines atement Hale
Holden, president of the Burlington,
said that the separation of the Great
Northern from the Burlington would
cause heavy loss to the Burlington in
the important interchange of freight
and passenger business at st. Paul and
Minneapolis, Sioux City, Ia, and Bill
lings, Mont, and would disturb exist
ing traffic routes without any public
demand or justification therefor.
Mr.. Holden criticized the whole plan
of the commission as being based too
largely upon east and west traffic in
stead of also giving consideration to
north and south traffic.

Constantinople, Nov. 1S.-Fearful
lest the Turk ish nationalists should
carry out the edict of the great

him and bring him to trial, the sultan
OF Turkey, Mohammed vi, in the
early hours CT the morning fled from
the Yildiz Kiosk, took refuge ON board

In company with his youngest son,
Prince Erlogrul Effendi, is on his way
to Malta.
The flight of the sultan was almost
precipitate, but nevertheless before
his departure he announced he had not
abd1cated-that he merely was leav-
ing Constantinople for safety.
Asylum on British Warship.
The sultan had requested Lieut..
Gen. Harrington, commander of the
British forces, last Wednesday to af-
ford him the means of getting away
and arrangements were made for him
to have asylum on the dreadnaught.
The trip from the palace to the
quay was effected without the sultan
being seen by any of the guards about
the palace. An automobile which had
been drawn up at a side entrance to
the palace whisked him to the quay,
where barge from the battleship was
waiting. On this Mohammed and his
son and six members of the palace
staff were Immediately transferred to
the Malaga which pointed its nose out
through the Dardanelles and into the
Mediterraneas on the way to Malta.
Demand Sultan's Return.
1t is reported here that the AngOra
government will make formal repre-
sensations to Great Britain for the
return of the sultan to the Kemalists,
pointing out that only the great
national assembly of Turkey has
authority to direct the sultan's move
ments and declaring that he must face
trial as ordered by the government.

GERMAN REBELLION
IMMINENT, REPORT
Widespread Revolt Against the
Republic Is Growing.
REDS PREPARE TO FIGHT
Bavaria Is Land of discomfort, but All
Central Europe Is in Grip Of
Growing Power of Fascist
Organizations.

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE menace of
widespread rebellion against the Ger
man Republic, if not open and bloody
civil war, bulks blacker daily-not
only in Germany but throughout all
Central Europe. From Bavaria, long
seething with discomfort and today the
drill ground for Fascist army whose
strength is conservatively estimated at
10000 men, the ultra-nationaliSt spirit
so successfully capitalized by the Ital-
ian Mussolini has spread with sinister
swiftness.
Hungary Also Has Fascist.
The Austrian Tyrol Is said to be
solidly allied with Adolph Mitler's
Munich Fascist, and Czechoslovakia
is fast approaching the danger point.
Hungary has her wn Fascist, whose
chief inspiration is hatred Of the Jews.
1t is reported from Budapest that the
Magyar disciples of Mussolini have
formed party in the diet to get
parliamentary immunity Cor their
leaders.
OAJ N0S ASAAAAA papa, LhC SO~A0iSS
Vowarts, mentions that in the recent
rioting in Cologne and Dusseldorf the
majority of shops broken into and
looted were owned by Jews and that
consequently the authorities suspect
the Fascist of participation in the
sanguinary encounters between unruly
elements and the police il the Rhine
land.
Communists Prepare Resistance.
The Communists are sparing no eff
fort to prepare for resistance in the
event agitation for the summoning Of
a national congress of factory work
ers' councils-Or soviets-and their
cutlery against food prices are waxing
noisier. Communist organs urge the
proletariat to arm Itself "for life and
death battle" pointing gravely to
Italy as warning of what will hap
zen if the workers remain passive.
To those exhOrtations Mitler's Mum
ich organ "Des Heimatland," retorts
hotly: 1--WE must crush the red terror
in our fatherland with the same means
and weapons as Mussolini used in
Italy
