BARON MAKING ADDRESSES CONFERENCE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) I wish to bring to tlutt debate my personal contribution. "I am not going to speak on the general aim of the scheme. This Iwm been formulated by the nun who have tho highest and noblest right to do it, and I am not here to in."L-t upon the main and fundamental principles. This is what Lord Rob rt Cecil hn.s done with vigorous lucidity of mind. Rut I have something to say on the general method upon which our work has been conducted. "Our task, gentlemen, was- one of i nco-nvparaMo difficulty. We were faced vith two absolute principles, the conciliation of which would .-in be logically !mpossibl on the one side of sovereignty of states, admitting of no limitation, and on the other hand a limit imposed upon the action of states, so that lUMs might be conciliated and so that the liberty of states should not include the liberty of doing wrong." GOVERNMENT SEIZES HOG REMEDIES" There are many preparations on the market so labeled as to convey the impression that they are remedies or preventives of hog cholera and other diseases of hogs. Farmers are induced by the alluring k'im- on the label to rely upon these ineffective preparations and hence the loss of thousands of hogs annually, because of the failure of farmers to aoply the only known effective remedy for hog cholera, that is, inuoculation with the specific serum. The present med of meats and fats and the high price of feeds shoe Id be a special inducement to every farmer to avoid preparations which are claimed to be effeclie remediis of hog cholera and other diseases of hogs ami especially the following which have been seized by order of the federal court when found in interstate commerce, namely: Anti - Cholera Hog Remedy, American Hog Remedy, Snoddy Hog Cholera Remedy, Swine Lixir, CalSin IJteg Restorative, National Hog Remedy. i;.

China Excited Over Jap Efforts Associated Press Service: Pi:KIN, Feb. 15. Excitement prevails throughout China over, reports concerning Japanese efforts to Induce the Chinese government to modify the action of its delegates to the peace conference. Despite the statement of Yuklchi Obata. Japanese minister to China, that he acted on hi own initiative and not on instructions from Tokio, Chinese alarm . continues. It has not been allayed by the declaration of the foreign minister that Obata's visit to him was a friendly one. I'rvs't Hsu-Shih-Chang, backed by the premier, has taken a strong stand -independently of the cabinet and han telegraphed an expression of confidence to the Chinese peace delegates. The news that Haron Makino of the Japanese peace delegation has agreed to the publication of secret documents has been received with Interest in Peking, but it is believed here that not all the agreements will be published as there are declared to be several which the Chinese militaiist.s do not dare disclose. It is further asserted that others will not disclose on the cround that they relate to commercial agreements only. Unless the fullest investigation is ordered there is a possibility that some of the agreements will remain secret because Chinese militarists are deeply involved. It is explained in competent circles in IVkin that there Is a struggle now proceeding between the president, whose aims are democatio and tho cabinet, which military inclinations. has BUSINESS SCHOOL PUPILS IN VALENTINE FROLIC Featured by an elaborate minstrel show, presented entirely by students, the valentine frolic given Friday all day, at the South Bend Business college, proved most pleasurable and the entertainment was well attended, nearly 1,000 students and ex-students being present.

ROAD LEfilSLÄTIO Both State and Federal Government to Take Hold of Highway Problem. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. Governor after governor is coming out pronouncedly for real road programs for the immediate future. Gov. Davis, at a Virginia good roads convention the other day, received an ovation when he put forward the proposition of raising $25,000,000 for the building of 1,200 miles of state highways. He frankly admitted that he wanted to be known as the "Good Roads Governor of Virginia." Retiring Gov. Capper, who next takes a seat in the IT. S. senate, out in Kansas thus expressed himself: "Cheap and quick motor transportation of products from and to the farm is coming. It is to be our next big development. Highways building in our agricultural states offers the way for employing thousands of men who have seen, and have repaired, and have rebuilt many of the magniiicent roads of France." New Jersey's governor also comes to tho senate when the next congress meets in Washington. Sv?n.Elect Walter E. Edge is avowedly a believer in nation-wide roads development, recently putting it into these words: "The federal government is in a better position than any state or combination of .states to assume a directing generalship over highways of the whole nation, supplying the missing links here and there and directing new extension in such a way that available undeveloped land will be opened up to the touch of agriculture. Furthermore, the nation's enormous aggregate expenditure on roads will be divested of that wanton waste which is the project of gross mismanagement and selfish motives." Gov. Robertson of Oklahoma hopes to induce the legislature to adopt a $10,000,000 bond isue for the purpose of supplying the Indian state with a connected road system. It is his idea that interest and sinking fund can be met chiefly through the prdoudion tax from oil and the registration tax from automobiles. Chairman George C. Diehl of .the A. A. A. good roads board predicts that the present congress will add substantially to the present federal aid road act, while the next congress will have squarely placed before it the proposition of a federal system. "Just as we have advanced from town to county and then state road building, it is inevitable that next we should follow up these state systems by the linking together of a federal plan." asserts Mr. Diehl. who has probably attended as many highways meetings of one kind and another in the United States as any other man. Mr. Diehl. who is engineer of Erie county, N. Y.. is contending for a 2 4 -foot road from Buffalo to Albany to the metropolis, which would mean, a substantial widening and strengthening of the present main artery across the empire state. ENGLAND AND FRANCE TO PROVIDE VESSELS Associated Pres Serrlce: WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. The shipping board wil ask that England and France provide vessels to meet future requirements of the European relief committee headed by Herbert Hoover, Chairman Hurley announced tonight. The request will be presented through the allied maritime and transport council now at Paris on the ground that American resources cannot allocate additional tonnage.

SOLDIER AND EDITOR WILL ADDRESS CLUB

Announcement ha.s been made of the speakers who will appear before the regular monthly meeting of the Knife and Fork club to be held at the .Oliver hotel Tuesday evening, Feb. 1R, at 6:30 o'clock. Lieut. Col. Frank S. Evans, D. O. S., late of the royal artillery will address the club members on "Reconstruction," and according to advance reports upon his ability as a scholar and lecturer, the appearance of the British officer will prove pleasurable. In addition to Col. Evans another man of note Is to address the club in the person of James Schermerhorn, editor of the Detroit Times, who is recognized as one of the most brilliant speakers in the middle west. His subject will be on the "Deadly Parallel." FIRST ANNUAL SUPPER. The Clay Harris Home Economic club had Its first annual supper last night at the home of Mrs. Louise Gerth on the Edwardsburg highway. Supper was served to 80 guests. Readings were given by Gladys Lake, Irene Wolf, Mrs. John Bhearhart, and Mrs. Dell Lace. A piano duet was given by Mrs. II. G. Longley and Mrs. Wilbur Metzger. Miss Maude Gray and Mrs. W.

THHKK ASK I OK DIVORCK. Three suits for divorce were filed in the superior court Saturday. Ollie Padden charges that Bertha Padden treated him cruelly and falsely accused him of associating with other women. They were married In April, 1013, and separated last November. Minerva Bachum says that Charles would not support her, and that she had to work to earn her own living. They were marled in February, 1907, and separated In March, 1915. Matilda Patterson, in her suit J against Harry Patterson, say a that he was constantly scolding and nagging. They were married Nov. 19, 191R and separated Feb. 11, 1919. POTASH AND MUCK SOILS. Many inquiries have come into the county agent's office as to the possibility of obtaining potash this spring. The county agent has just received the following information relative to obtaining potash from Alsace-Lorraine. According to the war trade board there is no possibility of obtaining potash from Alsace for r..gricultural uses in the United States before June 1, 1 9 1 V. which would make it too late to be of any material value this season because it would take at least another month "efore it could be delivered to the farm.
