MALLON, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.—This was peace dal on Capitol Hill. Alter several hundred women representatives of peace organizations had marched on senators in their office building a compromise on the Kellogg anti-war treaty was negotiated by Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee indicating the world peace pact might be ratified before night. Meantime the house foreign affairs committee defeated the Fish resolution which proposed to place the house on record as favoring early ratification of the Kellogg treaty by the senate. No Reservations The Borah compromise which appeared to end the twelve-day deadlock over the treaty would provide for the pact’s ratification without the change of a single word or the statement of any reservations. It would give the so-called reservationlst* a report from the foreign relations committee stating that the Monroe doctrine would not be affected by the treaty; that this nation undertook no promise m it for enforcing the treaty and that traditional policies of self-defense will not be influenced in any way. In order that the report might not be interpreted abroad as an unofficial reservation, Borah added a paragraph stating specifically the report is an Interpretation and not a reservation. While scores of representatives of the women peace organization looked on from the galleries and while Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Montana, Democrat and international lawyer, was making the strongest defense yet offered of the treaty from the floor. Borah moved In and out the cloakroms on both sides of the chamber getting signatures. Onl ya few objectors could be found and Borah felt confident they could be voted down if they attempted to rebel against the agreement. ‘Friendly Gesture’ to Senate The usual Invasion of the office building by women workers led by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt had nothing to do with the agreement which wor’. ed its way out of the hot debate Monday afternoon on the floor, but they were on hand to witness it. The action of the house committee in refusing to adopt the Fish resolution was a friendly gesture from the other end of the capital toward the senate. Chairman Porter had opposed the resolution on the ground that the senate had a right to do whatever it pleased about treaties without rebukes from the house and Speaker Longworth said “such a resolution would be obnoxious to parliamentary practices of both houses.” Activities of both houses were largely centered in the treaty, committees undertaking only the usual routine business. The house considered and expected to pass the war department appropriation bill upon which action now has been delayed for more than a week.

EAST TO STAY EAST

Afghanistan Veils Face to West

By United Press LONDON, Jan. 15.—Hopes of an eastern ameer to link the life of the east and west have shattered and proven again the truth of Kipling’s prophecy that “never the twain shall meet.” King Amanullah of Afghanistan has been forced to give up his plan of molding the Afghans to western customs, and has handed over the government to his elder brother, the Sirdar Inayatulla. Amanullah’s defeat came about as the result of the very concession by which he hoped to retain his throne. His followers withdrew their support when he surrendered his westernization program, and gave him up as a “weak leader.” Helpless, the king fled to Kandahar in an airplane—one of the western product he was urging upon his picturesque people—and he was reported safe today among friendly tribes in southern Afghanistan. It was presumed that Queen Souriya was with him. She ardently had supported the king’s plans and had adopted western dress. nun Amanullah and his court impressed the western world when they visited Europe a year ago.

The club recently was formed to promote dramatic and musical ability and interest. The advisory committee members are: Lewis Whiteman, Lieutenant Frank Owen, Ben Harris, J. F. Essex and Roy T. Combs.

FIRM TO PAY CREDITORS Recommendation that Rauh, Inc., be empowered to make a settlement with creditors on a basis of 33 1-3 ■'er cent will be made in federal ’curt by Carl Wilde, federal referee n bankruptcy, he indicated today it the close of a creditors meeting. An involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed against the store in federal court in December. In filing a schedule of liabilities, the store made an offer to borrow enough money to pay creditors 33 1-3 per cent of their claims which was accepted today by 130 creditors of the total of 156 creditors. Total scheduled claims were $60,000.

He combined western comfort with oriental luxury and lavishness and his specially built railway train was a marvel to the more conservative continentals. Silk and velvet draperies and plush carpets from the east mingled with the mechanical conveniences of Europe, and his retinue of white and black servant- was more gorgeously uniformed than in the most briliant of European courts. The king and queen made a close study of Europe, observing its customs, and decided these were superior to man*' of their land. The dress, too, appeared to them more practical, particularly women’s dress, and Queen Souriya took back to Kabul numerous Paris creations. But the Afghans are a Moslem people, and the mullah, the priest, holds sway over them. The mullahs saw their power would crumble if too much westernization crept in, and they resented King Amanullah’s plans. The flowipg robes of the Afghan women were more proper then the knee-length effects front Paris, they felt. Veiled faces were more intriguing than a face uncovered. Horses and camels were preferable to automobiles and airplanes as means of travel and as for wireless, it was an insult to Allah when speedy runners wer- available. , n a THE rebellipn broke actively a month ago when two powerful tribes advanced on Kabul, the capital. They fought Amanullah’s dwindling regular army. Last week it was indicated Amanullah was safe on his thront, although he had conceded all his westernization program to the rebels. He had agreed t recall Afghan girls studying abroad, abolish obligatory wearing of European clothes, allow the marriage of schoolboys, and prohibit sale of wine and liquors. He refused insistent demands that the queen, whom the Mullahs blamed for instigating the westernization, be banished from the country. His abdication reveals that these concessions failed to quiet his subjects. Inayatulla, the new king, will give Afghanistan back to the east. He is 40—four years older than Amanullah—without a trace of western education. He can read and write Persian, has had lessons in arithmetic and geography and is a horseman and marksman. Although friendly to Great Britain, the new king is opposed to attempts to “reform” his subjects and is strongly under the influence cf the Mullahs.

Old Folks Say Doctor Caldwell was Right

The basis of treating sickness has not changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medicial College in 1875, nor since he placed on the market the laxative prescription he had used in his practice, known to druggists and the public since 1892, as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Then, the treatment of constipation, biliousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions that result from constipation was entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwi ll’s Syrup Pepsin, which is a combination of senna and other mild lanative herbs, with pepsin. The simpler the remedy for constipation, the safer for the child and for you, and the better for the general health of all. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs? A bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will last a family several months, and all can use it, It is good for the baby because pleasant to the taste, gentle in action, and free from narcotic*. In proper dose.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BRANDS ‘PLOT’ CHARGE IN ROAD JOB LUDICROUS Commissioners Themselves Approved Highway, Says Former Surveyor. Intimations by county commissioners Monday that there was connivance of some kind in the construction of the Olim O. Smith gravel road, a meandering highway along Big Eagle creek in the northwest part of the county, was declared ludicrous by Henry R. Campbell. former county surveyor. The commissioners, whose political complexion has changed since Jan. 1, when Campbell went out of office, conducted what they called “an investigation” into the road, the construction of which they said was so poor that they ordered it closed. The contractor has agreed to make it suit the commissioners. Campbell “Passes Buck” The commissioners questioned Arthur Grissom, estimator in the surveyor’s office. They said that Grissom said the specifications for the road originally called for an eight-een-foot roadway, but that he changed them on order of Campbell, who said it was for the purpose of making the cost less than $5,000 so as to escape review by the state tax board. Campbell today said that it was perfectly true that he had called for an estimate and plans on a twelvefoot roadway, because that was what the commissioners directed. Approved by Commissioners “Records in the surveyor’s office and in the county commissioners’ office clearly will show that the contractors bid upon a twelve-foot roadway and that there was no change in this specification after the contract was let. “The plans, specifications and estimates were approved by the county commissioners. The engineer under the law is merely a technical adviser of the county commissioners and it is impossible for him to make any change in specficatiens or plans unless the commissioners attach thel signature.”
