SOVIETS OFFER TO DEMOBILIZE IF PROTECTED Want Resumption of Trade, British Copenhagen Commission Is Told. WORLD PLAN ALL_ OFF LONDON, .Tnn. 28.—Boris Litvlnoft envoy of the Moscow soviet government who has been negotiating with a British mission at Copenhagen, has informed the British that the bolshevlki are ready to demobilize their armies and abandon their world propaganda if the allies will give certain guarantees, according to a Copenhagen dispatch to the Daily Express. Among the pledges sought by the Mosi'OT soviet government are the following: 1. Security from all attacks by the allies in return for the sanction of the resumption of commercial trading by the soviet government. 1. The allies to recall all their forces from the frontiers of soviet Russia. According to Litvinoff,. the soviet is willing to allow allied military representatives enter Russia to supervise the disbanding of the army and to see that the Russians keep all their pledges. It Is said that trading with soviet Russia will be impossible until the army is demobilized on account of the lack of transportation facilities. The bolsheviki are- said to care nothing about a resumption of diplomatic relations, but they want to get allied commercial representatives in Russia as quickly as possible. Krassin, one of the chief organizers of the soviet government, is reported to be ready to “scour the world” for young experts and scientists. Those earning 550,000 a year at th<? present time would be offered a sum three times as large to go to Russia, it was reported. FLETCHER QUITS AS U._S. ENVOY Ambassador to Mexico Resigns After 18 Years’ Service. WASHINGTON, Jan. 38,-Henry P. Fletcher has resigned as United States ambassador to Mexico. His resignation will be in effect with In a few weeks. Ambassador Fletcher, U is said, is convinced that a continuation of the efforts he has made during the four Jbars in which he has held this important post to bring the Carranza government into accord with the United States government on the many irritating issues which have arisen, involving the protection of American lives and property rights, would be futile. He terminates eighteen years of service in the diplomatic branch of the government with great regret and without any particular plans for his own future, but feels certain he can no longer be helpful in cultivating proper relations with Mexico as long as President Carranza remains in control there. Mr. Fletcher's resignation was not hast ily determined upon and in fact last summer he sought to terminate his relations with the state department. But owing to the state of public business and the illness of some of the higher officials of the department, he was induced to remain In Washington to act as adviser to the secretary In matters relating not only '.o Mexico, but to all I.atin--Amevica. for which work he was peculiarly fitted by reason of long expedience In that part of the wonttl. Mr. Fletcher was appointed ambassador to Mexico In February, 1916. but did not go to the City of Mexico until the- February of the following year, having' come for a long series of conferences to the United States from Chile, where lie was the American ambassador.

The two were captured in Cleveland after a chase of more than a week. They were trailed to St. Louis, Hot Springs, Memphis and Cleveland by a loose brass cleat on a trunk they took with them. INDIANA MINERS’ GRIEVANCES UP Union Head Presents Many Questions to Commission. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Indiana coat miners hate presented a number of local grievances to the bituminous coal commission which is now in session here to settle and determine all questions in controversy between coal miners and coal operators throughout the country. Each state has its ow questions- in addition to the general problems relating to increased wages and shorter work day and other matters that were dCalt with by the international convention of the United Mine Workers at Cleveland last September. All of these questions have put in the hands of the commission and miners and operators have agreed to accept their decision. Ed Stewart, president of the United Mine Workers of the district of Indiana, presented the Indiana grievances, some of which are of long standing. The first grievance relates to the wage scale for mine engineers and firemen. The contract with the operators, he said, bases the wdge scale for the engineers and firemen of Indiana based upon the eight-hour day, but provides in addition to the hoisting of coal that they shall hoist and lower the jnen and "perform such other duties as usually pertain to the engineer’s work. Notwithstanding the fact that when the eighthour contract was made In Chicago in 3.895, Stewart said, the engineers and firemen worked ten and twelve hours a day for the pay they should get for eight hours. Firemen are required to work twelve hours for less than the day men on top receive for their eight hours' labor. HAN'T PAY FOR REMOVING SLATE. Another grievance related to pay for the removal of slate. Stewart said slate in the Indiana mines runs from one inch to twenty-four inches in thickness, and in one mine it is forty-two inches thick. Miners are required to handle this slate for nothing, be it said. He contends that the operators should pay for this work, which sometimes takes three or four hours a day. Stewart said also that the operators re- i fused to pay for the removal of what Is | known as bone coal and he asked the ! commission to make an award on that i subject. In Indiana the machine miner receives 12 cents a ton less than the pick miner. ; Stewart called attention to the fact that the differential in Illinois is only 7 cents | and contended that this Indiana differen- | tial should be readjusted. He also urges that the clause In the ! Indiana contract, which provides that j when one company owns more than one ; mine on the same line of track and in the same vein of coal the work should, as nearly as possible or as nearly as business conditions permit, be equally divided between the various mines, be construed to mean that, though one mine may produce cheaper than another the! work shall be divided equally. LOWER TIIE COAL,

LOWER THE PAY. There is a clause in the Indiana contract between miners and operators, which Stewart designated as ridiculous. It relates to what is known as "low coal." He said that when coal reaches less than four and a half feet In height, the loader trets 2 cents per ton less than where he works In seven feet of roai. He contends that the pay for "low coal" should be higher than for "high coal.” He said the operators also had refused to comply with the Indiana weekly pay day law. He also asked consideration of the Indiana law, which becomes effective April 1, 1920, requiring the operators to employ and j>ay shot flrers In the mines. He also asked that hlacksmlthtng charges for keeping tool* in condition be assessed at exact cost. He expressed the belief that the duty of shapening tools belonged to the jjperator .iust the, same as the erection of tipple. Drivers in Indiana mines also have their grievances, Stewart said. The drivers are required to go to the barns and get their mules and to take them back to the barns after their day's labor is done without any compensation. Thus, he said, they are required to woric practically nine hours for eight hours pay. Powhatan Docked Afterlo-Day Fight HALIFAX, N. S., Jan. 28.—The American transport Powhatan, disabled and deep down in the water, today was docked at the Ocean Terminals here after a ten-day battle with a terrific blizzard, heavy seas and zero weather. Her crew of 255 men and twenty-eight officers were safely ashore. The Powhatan’s passengers were removed several days ago by the transport Northern Pacific and landed in New York. The ship was towed Into Halifax harbor early last night.

The Best Cough Syrup is Home-made. Here’* an easy way to save $2. and yet have the best remedy yon ever tried.

You’ve probably heard of this wellknown plan of making ebugh synip at home. But have you ever used it? When you do, you will understand why thousands of families, the world over, feel that they could hardly keep house without it. It's simple and cheap, but the way it takes hold of a cough will quickly earn it a permanent place in your home. Into a pint bottle, pour 2V ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or, if desired, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes good, never spoils, and gives you a full pint of better cough remedy than you could buy ready-made for three times its cost. It is really wonderful how quickly this home-made remedy conquers a cough—usually in 24 hours or leas. It seems to penetrate through every air passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals the membranes, and gives almost immediate relief. Splendid for throat tickle, hoarseness, croup, bronchitis and bronchial asthma. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and has been used for generations for throat and chest ailments. To avoid disappointment ask vour druggist for “2Vz ounces of Pinex” with directions, and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or Tbe Pinex Cos., Ft.

CUT COUNTIES, TRACY URGES Tells Marion Business Men Indiana Has Too Many. MARION, Ind„ Jan. 28. —The reduction by one-half of the number of counties in Indiana an<j the consolidation of the government of Marion county and the city of Indianapolis were strongly advocated by R. E. Tracy, director of the bureau of governmental research of the Indiana polls Chamber of Commerce, speaking before the citizenship school of the Franchise league here this afternoon. “County government In the United States is unquestionably in the dark continent of American polities,” said Mr. Tracy. "The light that has shone upon the government of cities has not yet reached the dark corners of the 3.000 county governments in the United States, which spend in the aggregate $4,000,000 a year. NO LOSS TO CUT COUNTIES. ‘‘There are ninety-two counties in Indiana, which number could probably be reduced without, hny serious loss to anybody and with distinct gain to the citizen to one-half that number. Wherever a county and city coincide, as they do in Indianapolis, they ought to be consolidated. The consolidation movement has already begun In this country, and we in Indiana will have to learn our lesson from Denver, San Francisco, St. Louis and others. “Indiana counties are spending over $10,000,009 annually with a present total indebtedness of about $11,000,000. It is time that we paid attention to county administration, especially in those parts of the state where the population is small and the county the only strong unit of government. COUNTY COMMISSION ONE WEAK SPOT. “Although the counties are governed by a commission, it is a three-headed commission and in that respect very weak. There should be only one administrative official at tbe bead of the county and receptly In after a study of county government, it was recommended that they adopt the county manager plan. “Indiana has 395 towns with a total population of 290,620; 1,010 townships of ten classes, based on population. The towns in'lndiana spend over $2,000,000 a year and have a debt of about sl,ouo,oo<>. There are unquestionably too many township governments, especially in the more settled portions of the state, such as Marion county, which has nine townships. These could easily be reduced, resulting in much greater efficiency and less cost to tbe individual citizen. - ’ LAUDS WORK OF CIVIC CLUBS. Speaking before the Kiwanis club at noon today in the interest of the membership campaign for the Marion Association of Commerce, Mr. Tracy said such organizations < r.vstalize the civic and commercial spirit of a city and focu-i it on the numerous problems of urban life, such as city planning, sewage dis v posal, transportation, 'recreation and community service. “Chambers of commerce are ceasing to be solely interested in tbe business and industrial side of the city,” he said, “and are reaching out to develop tbe natural resources of the community, especially tbe intangible that make for better fitl i zenship." , He will deliver another address be, fore the citizenship school- tonight- on “The Problems of City Government." BREAD INCREASE DELAYED AGAIN. PARIS, Jan. 28.—The increase in the price of bread, which was to have gone into effect Feb. 1, has again been put over owing to the recent change in the ministry.

MERIDIAN STREET WOMAN SAYS, “MY FACE WAS DISFIGURED WITH BLACK-HEADS AND PIMPLES FOR YEARS; PEPGEN PURIFIED MY DLOOD THEN MY COMPLEXION CLEARED”

Another Instance in Which New Tonic Scores Great Success. Thousands Here Recommend It. “Since taking Pepgen my complexion is as clear as it could be,” _says Mrs. Alma Neal, 518 South Meridian street, Indianapolis. ‘‘For years before taking Pepgen my face was almost covered with pimples, black-heads and eruptions. I think my trouble came from impure blood caused by disordered kidneys. My back ached nearly all of the time. “Pepgen was recommended to me as a splendid blood tonic, so I started to take it. At the time I thought how happy I would be if this medicine would clear my complexion. “Weil, the outcome of the matter is that Pepgen not only purified my blood and cleared my complexion, but it regulated my kidneys, and now I am not troubled with backaches.” Mrs. Neal, who gave the above statement, is a widow. She moved to Indianapolis about five years ago from Linton, Ind. This case seems remarkable to Mrs. Neal, because she claims she tried everything she knew about to find relief from her condition. However, there is nothing especially remarkable about the manner in which Pepgen improved her complexion, as thousands of women have personally testified as to receiving the same results. Pepgen is sold by Henry J. Huder, Washington and Pennsylvania streets, Illinois and Michigan streets, and by all other leading drug stores. —Adv.

BIGGER EARNINGS NOW POSSIBLE TO WAGE EARNERS The wage earner's capital is i muscle and bone. That Otto Nies, ; 731 Weghorst street, Indianapolis ! workman, is able to make more j money than he formerly did is a fact recently brought out in an interview with his wife. This is not due to higher wages. J but because Mr. Nies is able to stick steadily to his job. A short time ago I he was compelled to “lay olf” at fre- ! quent intervals. Mrs. Nies credits Pepgen with her husband's improved j condition. She says: “For twelve years my husband had stomach trouble and he also suffered with his kidneys. His appetite-was poor and he complained of a heavy feeling in his , stomach. He was in such a rurrdown i condition that I was worried about him. "I read about Pepgen in the newspapers. It was so highly recommended that I thought it must be good. I finally induced my husband to try it. “I want to say that it has done him a world of good, lie says his stomach feels fine and his kidneys have been regulated. Yes, Pepgen is a splendid tonic. I can tell that by the way it has built up my husband's entire system. “I doubt very much if he rould have continued much longer '.t his work if it hadn’t been for Pepgen.’ Health is the wage earners wealth. Health is the greatest wealth in the world, too—the soundest capital, the biggest asset. \Vith health the plodding laborer is richer than the capitalist without health. The man with stomach, kidnej’ or liver trouble is beaten before he begins his fight. He does not even qualify for trial. This is just as true of women as of men. Both men and women have their work to do. A woman's job may be housekeeping—home making -and that is the most Important jobin the world. It.
