HUNS FEAR U.S. ANGLO-DOMINION TIIROUGHLEAGUE Covenant is League of Arms Against Germany, Protest Enemy Newspapers. WASHINGTON, March 12. Opposition tfl the proposed League ot Nations Is reflected ia recent German newspaper comment received by. the state, department and made public today. . -,, Two ot the newspapers declare that the league, as proposed, would establish "Anglo-American world domination,' while another characterizes it as a league of arms against Germany." rThe .Vorwaerts asserts it "is a league of victors, with character of trust, despite the welcome establishment of the principle of arbitration, and the treaty is pervaded with a capitalistic spirit." , "No Attention to" Germans." t .The Tageliche 'Rundschau says' the "league simply' establishes AngloAmerican world " domination, France, Japan and Italy being permitted to assist neutrals." The Germans, according to the Tageblatt, now learn that in the League of Nations statutes "established at Paris with out consultation, no attention appears to have been paid to Germany, evidently considered to be a second or third rate power. The league is a draft, not of a League of Nations, but a league of arms against C?ermany." The Vosslsche Zeitung terms the -"treaty a great disappointment; merely an instrument to maintain the supremacy of England and America.'

Sailor Returns Home After Absence of 21 Years OXFORD. O., March 12. Frank Burns, 38 years old, son of Richard .Burns, of this village, stepped off a train here yesterday, and gave his Jiomefolks the surprise of their lives. It has been twenty-one years since he 'left home, and during that time nothing was heard from him. Burns has been in the, TJnited States Navy for over twenty years. lie has been around ,'tho world several times. New York Will Spend 90 Millions This Year ALBANY. N. Y., March 12. It will erst New York state approximately $90,000,000, the largest amount in the history of the commonwealth, to administer its affairs during the next fiscal year. Approximately $20,000,000 of this total will be for construction work to help take care of the unemployed, according to the legislative finance committees in introducing the ; annual appropriation bill t'.'day. FINAL PEACE Continued From Pgo One. Clearly denned and still approaching settlement, is the very vexed question of what reparation Germany must make. Calculations as to the utmost Germany can pay vary as widely as $10,000,000,000 for a minimum and $40,000,000,000 as a maxi- , mum, and I have encountered no creditable witnesses who believe that Germany will be able to pay more than , $20,000,000,000 in any relatively near future, and even such payment will I have to be stretched over a period of years. In these years, following the precedent of the German occupation of France in 1870. and thereafter un,'tIH the payment of the indemnity, the allied troops will occupythe left bank of the Rhine with the bridnre heads as a guaranty against payment Moreover, even a better guaranty is .the utter dependence of Germany on the outsld world for food supplies, WHY TIRED PALE, RUN-DOWN WOKYBEN SHOULD TAKE IIUXATED You can tell the i with Dlentv of iron in their Diana nHUlUIHI mmm rorr -cheeked women full of life, enercv and charm while ' thoMwboUcklronareoftencroM. nervous, weak, irritable, tired-out creatures whom nobody likes to have around. In xplalnln why tlr4, pal, run-dowa woman should take a abort course of N lusted Iron, Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly physician of Bcllevue Hospital (Outdoor Dept.), New York, and Viestchester County Hospital, says: "Iron ia absolutely necessary to enable the blood to change, food into living tissue.

which will leave her completely at the mercy of the allied blockade. It is a fact, little mentioned, but widely perceived here, that the payment which Germany can make even In the remote future will hardly cover the cost of restroing the devastated districts with a smaller payment for the destroyed merchant marine of the allied nations; yet the fact is obvious and ominous that colossal debts which Germany has compelled her enemies to incur in self-defense will still have to be borne, not by the German ag-

J gressors, but by the people who had to defend themselves against German assault. Final Terms to Be Served. After many hesitations and much debate, the allies have not merely come to a substantial agreement in the terms of peace which are to be imposed on Germany, but they are in accord that terms which are to be final shall within the next few weeks be served on Germany in the shape of preliminary peace terms. There is a general agreement that far too much time has been wasted in settling relatively simple and enormously important problem of what to do to Germany. In this period Germany has gone through a stage of political recovery which made her a new menace for the moment, at least, in appearance, and following this she has slowly sunk into a state of chaos and revolution, which can hardly be arrested unless such German leaders as remain are able to begin the business of national life on a fixed basis; and this fixed basis must be the terms which the allies have decided on. In all probability by the last of March or the first days in April, the Germans will be invited to come to Versailles and sign the preliminary treaty of peace terms, which I have, in general, outlined above. With very minor modifications this preliminary treaty will express the final decision of the allies exactly as the treaty of Frankfort registered with insignificant changes, the armistice signed many months before as the closing act of the Franco-Prussian war. We are then, very close to peace and when the preliminary peace has been signed the German phase of the war will be over. Other Peace Settlements. In addition to dealing with Germany the allies have before them the gigantic task of erecting on the ruins of Austria and Hungary and on the western frontiers of Russia, new states which should in general follow the lines , of ethmlc division. This task also has been pushed in recent weeks, and we can now see on the map substantially what are to be the limits of the new states of Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, Roumania and, Hungary. Similarly, it seems to be settled that the German-speaking provinces of Austria will join Germany: thus middle Europe has at last been resolved into its component racial elements and European history enters a new phase, which must be shaped largely as the new states which have been created succeed in achieving national existence or fail in the task and fall victims again to Teutonic and Russian aggrandisement. In constructing these new states, Europe is following the east and with respect of Germany, the policy of the congress of Vienna in 1815, and of the treaty of Utrecht a century before. Then an effort wa3 made to put barriers along the eastern and northern frontiers of France to make new French wars of conquest impossible. Now Europe is seeking to put Polish, Czecho-Slovak- Roumanian and Jugo-Slavic obstacles along the highway of German expansion to the east, and on the success or failure of these obstacles depends the future peace of the world. Minor Disputes Unsettled. We have had and we still have in Paris a number of relatively minor disputes over boundaries which are approaching, but have not reached solution. The most serious of these WEAKNESS REMAINS LONG AFTER - Influenza Reports Show That Strength, (Energy and Ambition Return Very Slowly to Grippe Patients. After an attack of Influenza, doctors advise that nature be assisted In its building-up process by the use of a good tonic one that will not only put etrength and endurance Into the body, but will also help to build up and strengthen the run-down cells of the brain. One of the most highly recommended remedies to put energy Into both body and brain is Bio-feren your physician knows the formula it 13 printed below. There's iron in Bio-feren the kind of iron that makes red blood corpuscles and creates vigor. There is lecithin also; probably the best brain invigorator known to science. Then there is good old reliable gentian, that brings back your lagging appetite. , There are other ingredients that help to promote good health, as you can see by reading this formula, not forgetting kolo, that great agent that puts the power of endurance into "weak people. Taken altogether Bio-feren is a splendid active tonic, that will greatly help any weak, run-down person to regain normal strength, energy.- ambition and endurance. Bio-feren is sold by all reliable druggists and is inexpensive. For weakness after influenza patients are advised to take two tablets after each meal and one at bed time seven a day, until health, strength and vigor are fully restored. It will not fall to help you and if for any reason you are dissatisfied with results your druggist is authorized to return your money upon request without any red tape of any kind. Note to physicians: There Is no secret about the formula of Bioferen, It Is printed on every package. Here it Is: Lecithin; Calcium Glycero-phosphate; Iron Peptonate Manganese Peptonate; Ext.

Is the clash between the Jugo-Slavs and the Italians over Fiume, Dalma-

i tia and the Adriatic islands. There is at present possibility that Italy will compromise her claims by taking jjiume and the Adriatic islands, leaving Dalmatia to the Slavs. This would be. perhaps the. fairest solution. The second awkward difference of opinion exists between the Greeks and the Italians, and grows out of the possession by the Italians as 'a consequence of their Tripolian war, of twelve Greek islands in the Aegean, together with Thodes and the Italian claim on behalf of Albania, which is the consequence of Italy's occupation of the port of Valona. Here again, there has been in recent days a marked improvement in the direction of compromise, and there seems to be a general agreement that Italy will surrender most, if not all, of the Aegean islands and accept the Greek claim to northern Spirus. In addition to the foregoing disputes, Roumanians and the southern Slavs have clashed over a minor area in Barat, the Poles and Czecho-Slovaks are at odds over the district of Tessicen on the western frontier of Galicia, and the Poles and Via.

Of all these difficulties, only one is really serious and remains unsettled. This is the break between the Poles and the Ukranians. It is serious, because it represents part of one significant failure of the conference at Paris. For a variety of reasons, it has been impossible to adopt a policy toward Russia. This inability to face the Russian problem as a whole has resulted in a failure to reach a decision as to the eastern frontiers. I am told that Lemberg will ultimately go to the Poles and that further disputes between the Poles and thesLithuanians will be decided mainly in favor of the Poles, who will certainly acquire Grodno and probably Vilna; but it will be impossible for Europe to fix the eastern boundaries of Poland until it can make up its mind concerning the whole Russian situation. Equally true is the case of the Baltic states with Lithuania. In these regions the Bolshevists and several races inhabiting the shores have been fighting steadily for more than a year. Sometime.perhaps, Europe will take courage to go to the rescue of these peoples. When this time comes we may expect to see at least one more state developed along the Baltic between Neva and the Gulf of Finland. As yet, nothing has been done or agreed on. Elsewhere the map of Europe is substantially remade. As 'to the matter of the German colonies, they will be divided among the victors who will hold them as mandatories of the league of nations, if there shall be a league of nations, but in any . event Japan will acquire

HELP!

You may be able to defend yourself from a frontal attack, but how about it if you are held up from the rear? Your body has to fight constantly against disease. It isn't always a fair fight, because constipation is a treacherous enemy that you usually don't recognize until too late. Stagnating, poison-forming, food waste in your large intestines, helps disease to attack you and hinders you from defending yourself. Such selfpoisoning causes over 90 of human illness. You may be held fast for months in the grip of constipation, trying vainly to free yourself by taking castor oil, pills, salts, mineral waters, etc.. in order to force the bowels to move. Not only will the constipation grow worse with the continuance of such remedies but you will be less able to defend yourself against the attack when it comes. On the other hand, Nujol overcomes constipation and brings about the habit of easy, thorough bowel evacuation at regular intervals. It acts gently and harmlessly, at all ages under any conditions. Take Nujol and constipation can't sneak up on you and cripple you when you least expect it Get a bottle of Nujol from your druggist today and write for free booklet '"Thirty Feet of Danger."

France will obtain eome modification of the terms under which she solds Morocco and probably the right to include Tangier In her Moroccan colony. There remains the great problem of Asia Minor, which carries with it the question of Constantinople, of Armenia, of Syria and of tho Arabian regions extending from the Mediterranean to Mesopotamia. It ' remains the hope of Europe that the United States will accept both Constantinople and Armenia as mandatories. The Anglo-French differences over Syria have not been resolved. Greece will

certainly receive Smyrna and a part j of the west coast of Asia Minor, inhabited by Greeks. Italy is equally j likely to become the mandatory for j the south shore of Asia M'nor from ' Rhodes to the Gulf of Alexandretta. Put these euestions of the near east I are less settled than any others as yet, and I shall reserve them for a later discussion. "Some Day I'll Make You Glad." which, in a point of heart-felt interest, is said to be the most pronounced hit written in some time. The following are a few lines of the verse: Sweetheart, I feel so sorry That I have made you so blue, And while your heart is breaking, My heart Is aching, too. Some Day I'll Make You Glad I made yoa sigh, I nada you cry, I brought yoa sorrow and care... Bat I will try, desrbre an bye. To ahars all the sorrows you bear... 111 bringyon cheer for er-'ry tear.

In sum, after three months of discussion, the conference at Paris has agreed to a preliminary draft of the league of nations; it has redrawn the frontiers of Europe and substantially agreed that these lines shall be permanent. It has fixed the terms of German disarmament, conditions of German future military life; it has taken precautions against Germany, both military and territorial, except with respect of Russia and Asia Minor. The great task is well-nigh completed, although the details remain open. By another month, the European phase of the liquidation of the world war should be over, but satisfactory as is this progress, fair and reasonable as is the settlement which Is reaching comple
