and chancellor of the exchequer under
Lloyd George, died In England after
a lingering Illness. He was considered
one of England's best informed and |

many of the qualities that make for
popularity. A greater loss to thq
world came in the death of Dr. Charles
P. Steinmetz at Schnectady, N. Y. His
achievements and discoveries in elec-
trical engineering had made him world
famous and his devotion to science
was utterly unselfish.

A States senator from Minnesota, has
been selected by President Coolidge to |
succeed George Harvey as American i
ambassador to Great Britain, and the |
British government has announced that !
his appointment will be highly satis-
factory. Over here the President's j
choice was generally commended ex-
cept by certain of the old “irrecon-
cilables” who remember Mr. Kellogg
was a mild reservationist when the
question of the League of Nations was
before the senate. However, there is
little doubt that the senate will con-
firm his appointment, and no doubt at
all that Mr. Kellogg has sufficient
ability and diplomatic skill to fill the
post with credit.
toward the end of the week it was re-
ported that they had mobilized be-
tween 20,000 and 80,000 troops along
the Thuringian frontier for a march on
Berlin, that reinforcements were flock-
ing to the royalist colors from all sides
and that 15,000 Bavarian reichswehr
at Bamberg were ready to Join. This
body of reichswehr troops was “kid-
naped” from the central government
by Bavaria and she stubbornly refuses
the demands of Stresemann that they
be restored. Socialists in the Berlin
cabinet rage at Stresemann for what
they consider his mildness toward Ba-
varia, but fie refused to press action
against Munich until he had settled
his troubles with the Saxon govern-
ment. That he appears to be doing,
for the Saxon cabinet retired from
office at his demand and another min-
istry was formed exclusively oF So-
cialists. This has offended the more
radical Socialists.

TN THE controversy with Governor

force* prohibition, Secretary Mellon
has taken up the cudgel in behalf of
the administration. Rather It should
be said Pinchot forced the cudgel into
Mellon's hand. The gtvernor in a
letter to the secretary placed ,on the
federal permit system the blame for
the “breakdown” of prohibition en-
forcement in Pennsylvania and de-
clared that Mellon, as'secretary of the
treasury, has the power io cut off the
flood of Illicit liquor at Its source by
revoking the permits. In reply Mellon
said the treasury is invoking every

D Turkey was declared a republic
last week, and Mustapha Kemal was

and should not be necessarily binding
on either the reparations commission
or the governments concerned. The
selection of tlie experts, except the
American, he said, should be made by
the reparations commission. In his
speech he also declared France would
not permit a discussion of a reduction
in the reparations total fixed tn May,
1921, at 182,000,000,000 gold marks
(138,000,000,000), or a suggestion for
an abandonment of the guarantees.
With these restrictions, M. Poincare
consented to Join in an invitation to
the United States to send representa-
tives to the conference of experts. At
first the English were disappointed
and angry, but the government de-
cided to accept the French reserva-
tions. There is no reason to believe
any other of the nations concerned
will object to the plan.
The reparations commission, on mo-
tion of Sir John Bradbury, English,
ruled that no one of the nations had
the right to dictate as to the com-
petence or to define or limit the Juris-
diction of the commission in dealing
with the problem of the German In-
demnity. This might permit the over-
riding of the French restrictions, and
even the discussion of the interallied
debts so far as they affect reparations.
Poincare’s reservations are not held
by the administration at Washington
to be a bar to the execution of the
Hughes plan and our part in putting it
Into operation is under way. The Eu-
ropeans would like to see an American
made chairman of the committee of
experts, and would prefer J. P. Mor-
gan, Roland Boyden or Paul Cravath.
It may be Mr. Morgan would not serve,
and there is talk of the selection of
Ellhu Root. Washington has made It
plain to the allies that by participa-
tion in the conference we accept no
responsibility for the enforcing of its
findings.
Meanwhile, the German Industrial
magnates and General Degoutte have
been in conference trying to arrange
for resumption of work in the Ruhr
and of the payment of reparations in
kind. If the accord is signed It will
provide that the German government
shall pay the Industrialists for deliv-
eries tf France, tieginning next spring.
At this writing the Germans have
yielded to almost all the French de-
mands except restrictions* of their
rlghtif to free trade with unoccupied
Germany and Jhe rest of the world.
Krupp von Bohlen was paroled from

In return America will formally affirm

what is more important, British ships
will be allowed to carry liquor under

OVERNOR WALTON of Oklahoma
Vjf was arraigned before the state
senate court of impeachment Thurs-
day on twenty-two charges of corrup-
tion in office, wilful neglect of duty,
moral turpitude and general incom-
petency. The actual trial was delayed
by a lot of legal skirmishing. The
governor seemingly bases his defense
on the klan Issue.
A Muskogee newspaper printed a |
story that two members of the senate
had been offered bribes of $10,000 to

OOLUTION <?f the German repar-
at ions problem, which in large
measure is the economic and financial
problem of all Europe, is now within
the bounds of possibility if not prob-
ability. Secretary Hughes' suggestion
of a committee of experts is likely to
be adopted, with some modifications.
Assure* by Washington that the Uni-
ted States would participate in an ad-
visory capacity, Great Britain asked
France whether she would agree to
the plan, and Premier Poincare's re-
ply was prompt and as satisfactory
as could well be expected. In a pub-
lic speech, a proclamation and notes
to London, *he accepted the proposals
in principle, but insisted the findings
of the experts must be only advisory
in character and relating only to the ___________________

Laxatives Aggravate Constipation
laxatives and cathartics do not over-
\ come constipation, says a noted au-
tbority, but by their continued use
aA tend only to aggravate the condition
\\\ and often lead to permanent injury.
[ ' ♦ Medical science, through knowledge of
the intestinal tract gained by X-ray ob-
i servation, has found at last in lubrica-
only okin-doop. tion a means of overcoming constipa-
tion. The gentle lubricant, Nujol, penetrates and
softens the hard food waste and thus hastens its
passage out of the body. Thus Nujol brings in-
ternal cleanliness.

Nujol is not a laxative and cannot gripe. Nujol is
used in leading hospitals and is prescribed by
physicians throughout the world.
Don’t give disease a start. Adopt this habit of in-
ternal cleanliness. Nujol is not a medicine. Like
pure water, it ^harmless. Take Nujol as regu-
larly as you brush your teeth or wash your face.

Gardeners who canuot raise sugar

from beets, a process designed espe-

Great care is exereffied in harvest-

be not broken. The first operation is
to remove all dirt by washing, after
which the beets are boiled in water
until the skin peels off easily. They
are next cut into thin slices, placed in
a pan. Just covered with water,
brought to a boil once more and then
left to simmer for ten hours,

Recently two French soldiers were
bathing in the Rhine river. Since they
were unable to awlm, the aoldiers were
in a serious condition. A young Ger-
man. who was watching, swam out and
rescued both of them. The French
tribunal, to reward him, promised that
anything he asked would be granted.
He asked that the lives of seven men.
who had been condemned to lie shot
for causing trouble to the French au-
thorities, might be spared. The request
was granted.
