I went down from a hundred and eighty pounds to a hundred and fifty in six weeks’7time, and nobody in Indianapolis was more worried over his health than I was. “A railroad friend of mine "told me how wonderfully Retonga restored him and I started on the medicine, In just two short weeks I went back to work, and by the time I finished the third bottle of Retonga every trace of swelling, pain and indigestion disappeared. I regained seventeen pounds, and I feel better and stronger than I have in a long time. Several men at the shops are as enthusiastic about Retonga as I am.

Urgent Plea Reported

Few details of the conferences with Mr. Green and Mr. Lewis were available but 1t was understood that Mr. Roosevelt did not ask for definite commitments on a date and place for the next peace conference nor did he specifically ask whether another meeting would be held.

old Faithfuls’ Shy From F.D.R. in Ship Dispute

Z By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Political dopesters see all sorts of signs and portents in the surprising “ship trick” incident, which are not reassuring to the President. Apart: from the generally harm-

ful effects of the “broken - faith” charges. on the President's reputation, political interest centers on the revolt of hitherto Rooseveltian Senators . and Secretary of State Cordell Hull, | Since the Maritime Commission’s - original approval of the United States Lines’ plan to ° continue in the war trade by substituting a Panama flag, this revolt has been flaunted in a most embarrassing manner. Senators Sherman Minton of Indiana, Claude Pepper of Florida and Lewis B. Schwellenbach of Washington in the past have been symbols of Rooseveltian regularity. But, while the President was defending the legality at least. of the ship proposal, Senator Minton was charging a transfer of registry would be circumventing the new neutrality act, Senator Pepper was denouncing it as a “shocking subterfuge,” and Senator Schwellenbach was attacking it as an ‘“outrageous evasion.”

Indicates Uncertainty

That the Borahs, Nyes and Clarks, who opposed the President in the neutrality fight, charged trickery and threatened a Congressional investigation surprised nobody. That Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio and some other Republicans, who went along with the Roosevelt form of neutrality legislation, would feel duped was expected. But the Min-ton-Pepper-Schwellenbach type of protest was one of those things which could not happen. Of course, this is not a permanent break between the President and his close Senate supporters, But it indicates an uncertainty, nervousness and lack of discipline among the bodyguards which is new. The case of Secretary Hull is less
