CONSOLIDATE TINY ! NATIONS AND SAVE EUROPE-AMONESCO
BUCHAREST, April 2. Safety for
Europe lies fn an alliance between
Rumania, Poland, Czecho-Slovakia and Greece, in the opinion of Take Amonesco, -who was an editor, finan- i cier . and politician has played a j prominent role In the national life of ,
Rumania ror a quarter or a centuryTalking with an Associated Press correspondent recently he expressed the hope of seeing such an alliance realized, with America taking an Important part in the work of Balkan countries. U. S. Mutt Show Interest "Unless America Bhows interest in Balkan commerce," he said, "it is possible we all will again fall into the hands of Germany, if only because of the exchange situation. Rumania is determined to operate matters for herself, but may not be able to do so. I am very sorry America has refused to . occupy Constantinople and I am sure In a few years the people of the United States will realize their mistake in not doing this service to clv"lization and possibly to their own : commerce. Neither France nor England nor Italy can control the middle-east. It is too big a task, but America, being disinterested politically, could do it.

Engineers in Siberia
Col. A-f wood .
HAVE you ever heard of William G. Atwood? Or, better, did you ever hear of him before the United States entered the war! If you are a civil engineer the name may be famil
iar, particularly li you came from Chattanooga, Tenn. This quiet, Industrious, able engineer was recruited out of his Chicago office by Brig. Gen. William Wallace Aterbury when the latter was asked by President Wilson to assume command of the transportation lines of the American expeditionary forces
In France, and so efficient was he that in December, 1918, he was asked to assume the task of rehabilitating the railroads of central Europe and
build new roads of transportation that central Eurone might be fed. He is to
day In Serbia at the head of the tech
nical expert service that i3 restoring
that country's railroads and again con nectlng it with the outside world.
If you know anything about what Is occurring in and about Serbia you must understand the enormousness
of the job. He had not only to build roadbeds, lay tracks and find locomotives and cars, but he had to fight Bolshevism, overcome the jealousy of neighboring countires, find labor, raise money and supply food for such labor as he could muster, quell constantly arising strikes and police newly constructed roads lest the numerous revolutionists blow them to kingdom come for no reason more understandable than pure cussedness. Atwood is succeeding at the job. Which i3 saying much, for no harder task faces any American engineer today.

Shipping Board Failure, Former Member Declares (By Associated Press) LOS ANGELES, April 2. The United States shipping board, as such, was a failure, H. M. Robinson, former member of it told,the World Traders of Los Angeles, at a dinner last night.

Mr. Robinson declared the sale of the government operated ships would mean a comparatively small loss. "The ships constructed by the government must have cost about $2,800,000.000, he said, and when sold will net the government about 52,000,000,000."

Albert Calt, Knightstown, well known in Richmond as the "Hominy Man" because of the deliciousness of his produce, recently called at a local drug store and told the following story: "VPQ nil m ' fn'onHa in TTniu e-tftn-n
are talking about my case and the
wonderful relief that Pepgen gave me. 1 never epected to be a well man, but thanks to Pepgen I feel splendid. "I had to be very careful what I ate before taking Pepgen as my stomach would retain only light foods. When I ate anything that disagreed with me I would have indigestion so bad that I would often spit up blood. "I heard others tell about the good qualities of Pepgen, and so, several months ago, I secured a bottle and began taking the medicine. "Anybody who saw me before I took Pepgen and sees me now could easily tell that it helped me. Friends say I
look like a different person." In Pepgen will be found peppermint leaves, used to stop nausea, relieve spasmodic pains in the stomach and bowels and expel gas. Gentian root, which possesses tonic properties In a high degree. It aids and invigorates digestion. Peruvian Bark, an anti
malarial agent, is of service in debility and wasting diseases, pallor, impoverished blood and feeble recuperative powers. Fringe Tree Bark exerts a special influence upon the liver. It is of benefit where there is yellowness of the skin and eyes and a sense of uneasiness in the right side. Black Cohosh, through its influence upon the muscular system, is recommended for rheumatism, neuralgia and lumbago. Plantain Leaves contain properties valuable in kidney and bladder derangements. Pepgen can be obtained from any first-class drug store anywhere. Advertisement.
