AUSTRIANS VOTE TO SIGN TREATY; PROTEST TERMS

German Nationalists Vote Against Signature Declare German Union is Necessary. VIENNA. Sept. 8. The National Assembly by a vote of 97 to 23, Saturday decided to sign the peace treaty. The Assembly however, protested against "the violation of Austria's right of free disposal of herself." The German nationalists voted against signature of the treaty while some member of the South Tyrolese party abstained from voting. The vote was taken after adoption without dissent of the goverment's resolution of protest, presented by the Christian Socialist Hauser, declaring the territorial clauses tof the treaty grossly violate the national claim to selfdetermination and the basis on which the armistice was concluded. Country Raises Its Voice " 'We raise once more our voices against a peace founded on brute force," said the resolution. "As one man we decline the dividing up of our peoples into free and unfree, as is done by this peace. We further declare that the 4,000,000 Germans forced under foreign rule will for all time insist of self determination as only possible basis on which the moderate statem may be founded." The resolution also declared that ultimate union with Germany Is an absolute necessity and expressess the hope that when the hatred of the war dies down this union will be consummated. It ends by placing responsibility for steeping Europe in revolution and confusion on the shoulders of the entente and looks to the league of nations to repair the wrong done.

The boy, Neal Wright, his mother and her baby, and Judge Lindsey.

Because he refused to tell in court the story that Neal Wright had piven him in confidence, Judge Lindsey has before him the early prospect of 250 days in jail. The sentence was given for con

tempt of court by the judge who presided at the trial of Neal's mother for the murder of her husband. The boy took the stand and said that it was he and not his mother who fired the shot. He

was twelve years old at the time. Now he is a soldier in France. His story gained his mother's freedom, and the indications are that the only person who will suffer for the murder is the famous "kids' judge."

"D..-L' nit

rrenisioTic man is Convict's Dummy JACKSON. Mich.. Sept. 8. Twenty or twenty-five years ago. when industries at Jackson prison were not so numerous. Jimmie Leathers spent a few years within its walls, and, finding the time hanging heavily on his hands, modeled human images for pastime. At the end of his sentence ho had quite a collection of "dummies" and these disappeared with him. One of them, Jimmie's "prehistoric man." was unearthed Friday in Patrolman Oscar Nierman's back yard. This is the explanation now put forward as to the origin of Nierman's find, which several physicians, after hasty examination, declared was the petrified body of a man twelve feet and seven inches in height. News of the find brought many students lo Jackson, and a dozen of them from the University of Michigan, and one look at the "giant" constituted their investigation. They sought not to learn more of the ancient race it represented, but how it came to be planted in Nierman's yard. Then some old residents remembered Leathers and his "dummies," and Prof. Campbell Bonner accepted the solution of the mystery. Michigan's glacial surface composition, the scientists declared, precludes "prehistoric finds" dating back more than several hundred years.

Letter to Wilson From National Union Head is Submitted by Carter W. R. Carter, of Boston. Ind., secretary of Local Post No. 44, International Brotherhood of Stationery Firemen and Oilers, has submitted the following letter, which Timothy Healy, president of the brotherhood, rent to the New York World. Mr. Carter explained that the letter sets forth a phase of the industrial situation. The communication follows: "In your valuable paper of yesterday under the caption of a "Test of Labor," referring to the statement of

President Wilson to the railroad shop-

men on the subject of wage increases as going to the very bottom of the

question, you predict the success of I

the president's policy that labor is willing to be decently patient and moderately reasonable. "This is well enough to those whose wages permit them to live and keep thir families from starvation. There are thousands of men employed by railroads whose wages as fixed by the railroad administration in General Order No. 27, issued in September, 1918, and shown in supplement No. 7, article 5, are not sufficient to maintain their families. "The rate fixed was 2S cents an hour, or $2.24 cents per day. It is hard to be decently patient and moderately reasonable while living under such wages as these. We would like to be with the president heartily in the policy so ably advocated bv him. bu.

j justice to those receiving such starvation wages as these railroad men receive takes the heart out of every i one familiar with their sad condi

tion. "Let us first level up to a living wage this underpaid branch of the railroad service, and they can be relied upon in the future, as they have in the past, to stand loyally and patriotically behind President Wilson in whatever he undertakes. "TIMOTHY HEALY, "President of International Brotherhood of Stationery Firemen and Oilers, New York, August 29."

Says High Officers Not Responsible for Abuses (By Associated Press) PARIS, Sept. 8. Brigadier General W. D. Connor, chief of the service supply of the American expeditionary forces, was before the congressional subcommittee investigating army affairs here nearly all day Friday, giving evidence regarding the sale of surplus supplies and prison abuses in France. He said that the prisoners accused of simple infractions of military rules should have been separated in prisons from the men who were convicted of crimes, but thought that Brigadier General W. W. Harts and Colonel E. P. Grinstead of the 158th infantry, could not be fceld responsible for abuses which have been under discussion. Colonel Grinstead was brought before the efficiency board instead of before a courtmartial as a result of charges him, and General Connor said Friday that this action was taken on a report by the Judge Advocate General, in whose opinion a conviction could not be obtained in the case.

AT AGE OF 72 GAINS 14 POUNDS TAKING TANLAC P. W. Bemis Throws Away His Cane After Tanlac Builds Him Up. "Well, sir, it's a fact, this Tanlac has put me in shape to where I have actually gained fourteen pounds and this strikes me as being remarkable, especially for one of my age, for I am now seventy-two," was the statement made by P. W. Bemis of 614 First avenue. Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in an interview, recently. Mr. Bemis is a retired merchant. He was in the grain business in South Dakota for twenty years and numbers

his friends by his acquaintances. "I had suffered from stomach! trouble and disordered kidneys fori three years, or more," he continued,! "and up to the time I got Tanlac I ; had not been able to find anything to : help me. My stomach was in such a ; bad condition that I was forced to

live on a very light diet all the time.! My kidneys bothered me constantly and my back hurt me like 'blue blazes'. I was in such a weakened condition that I had to use a cane in order to get around at all and, as I had tried all the different medicines and had been under treatment several times without results I was beginning to think my age was against me and that I would never feel like myself again. "Seeing Tanlac so highly recommended I finally bought a bottle, as a last resort, and could soon see good results. Then I bought another bottle then another and so on and just kept gradually improving until now I feel like I have taken a new lease on life. I can eat just anything I want without having the least trouble with my stomach and am feeling perfectly strong and healthy. I have thrown my walking stick away and am able to walk any place 1 want to go. I am strong for Tanlac because it has made a new man of me when I had reached the point where I thought there was no help for me. As I said, I have gained fourteen pounds in weight and owe my present good health to nothing but the good work of Tanlac. I will gladly confirm this statement to-anyone who cares to consult me either by letter or in person. In all the years of my life I have never run across a medicine that I consider in a class with Tanlac." Hundreds of such statements as the above are reaching the Tanlac offices daily from all parts of the United States and Canada and, of course are very gratifying. Tanlac contains wonderful reconstructive properites and as a general tonic for weak, run down systems has no equal. When people grow to the ripe old age of Mr. Bemis their digestive organs lack vitality, act more slowly and less effectually than in youth. The circulation becomes poor, the blood thins, the appetite fails and digestion weakens. Tanlac, the powerful reconstructive tonic, is the ideal strengthener for elderly people, because it creates a good healthy appetite, aids digestion, enriches the blood, and in a natural way builds up, strengthens and invigorates feeble, run down nervous and aged people. Tanlas is sold in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite; in Greensfork by C. D. Corine; in Cambridge City by Mr. Dean House; in Pershing by Sourbeer and Rodenberg; in Centerville by Centerville Pharmacy, and in Milton by W. L. Parkins. Adv.
