CONFLICT
F POLES
ID CZECHS
MUST END
PARIS, Jan. 29. The supreme
council today heard R, W. Demowski,
the Polish delegate, and Dr. Kard
Kramart, representing the Czecho
slovaks with reference to the conflict
which hag arisen between the Polish
and Czecho-Slovak military forces
along their frontier.
The hearings were a sequel to the
council's warning against occupation
of territory by force and the dele
gates of the two countries were invit
ed to explain and to take measures to
abate tb hostilities.
SHIPYARDS SUFFER BY
PORTLAND, Oregon, Jan. 27.
Orders from the Emergency Fleet
corporation ordering the stoppage of
work on all steel ships that cannot be
completed within six months were re
ceived here late Saturday night by
shipbuilders, who today expressed
opinions that unless the order is mod
ified a great blow blow will be struck
at the industry of the Pacific coast.
The board of directors of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce met at
noon today to consider what steps
shall be taken to meet the new situa
tion. The interpretation of the order Is
that so far as the Portland district Is
concerned all government contracts
for steel shipbuilding for the future
are virtually cancelled.
Whether this order will be modi
fied awaits further word from the ship
ping board. As it stands now the
building of 28 new steamers, involv
ing $38,O0Q,000 in contracts, is subject
to the change. It will also mean that
thousands of men will also have to
seek new work in the next few months
shipbuilders asserted.
PARIS, Jan. 27. The big five
France, England, America, Japan and
Italy took up consideration of Ger
many's colonies this afternoon for the
first time.
During the morning the supreme
council again discussed Poland.
Former French Ambassador to Rus
sia Joseph Noulens has been named
civil delegate of the allied mission
that will go to Poland.
It was understood that the Chinese
delegate, Lu Chang Hsiang, was invit
ed to address the conferees this after
noon. PARIS, Jan. 27. The president got
down to action on the league of na
tions plan this morning. He had be
fore him the plans of General J. C.
Smuts and Leon Borgols, the French
expert The president hopes to Incor
porate some of the ideas thus glean
ed Into a composite scheme which
would be acceptable to the entire
peace conference.
President Wilson spent an hour
studying the league of nations details
and then went to the foreign office to
attend the supreme council session. In
the meantime the smaller nations con
tinue to press for fuller representation
on some of the committees, but there
were no indications that they would
succeed at the present time.
SITUATION OF
UNEMPLOYED IS
VERY SERIOUS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. Reports
of unemployment throughout the coun
try are shown In the weekly survey of
the department of labor and for the
first time the department admitted the
situation is "rapidly becoming seri
ous." The area of unemployment Is
spreading alt over the country, the re
port stated. The total surplus of labor
in the comparatively small number of
cities canvassed by the department
has jumped from a shortage of 34,000
to a surplus of 210,000 in the last eight
weeks. Twenty states, mostly those
which contain the larger cities and
.manufacturing centers, report sur
pluses, an increase of 14 in the last
month.
Cleveland shows the largest short
age of any city, the total there having
Jumped from 40,000 to 55,000 In the
last week. Detroit has 30,000 out of
work. Buffalo 15,000 and Toledo and
Butte 10,000 each.
REPRESENTATIVE ILL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Repre
sentatlve McArthu'r asked indefinite
leave of absence from the House to
day for Representative Hawley, who
f, JBcn II! for several day.
E

WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. An Ad
ministration bill appropriating $1,250,
000,000 to enable the Government to
carry out its guarantee to the farmer
of a price of $2.20 a bushel for the
1919 wheat crop was transmitted to
the chairman of the Senate and House
Agricultural Committees today by the
food administration.
The measure, which was drawn by
officials of the Pood Administration
and the Department of Agriculture,
was described by some Senators as an
omnibus measure which would permit
the President to continue the Food
Administration In operation and to ex
ercise alt of the powers conferred up
on him by the food control act.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. As the
first step toward a general revision
of the shipbuilding program along
lines outlined to the commerce com
mittee of the senate, the Emergency
Fleet corporation has suspended all
contracts for the construction of steel
ships that cannot be laid down before
August 1, It was learned today. In cas
es where work is not started on ves
sels before August 1, contracts will be
cancelled.
Suspension of the contracts does not
mean a cessation of government ship
building, however. The fleet corpora
tion Is designing big freight and pas
senger vessels that are deemed better
suited for peace times commercial
competition than are the ships design
ed to meet the war emergency.
Yards that lose contracts for the
7500- and SSOO-ton steel steamers will
be given vessels of larger type to
build.
PARIS, Jan. 28. The freedom of
the seas, which has been more or less
lost in the shuffle of other business,
was taken up for the first time Mon
day by the Big Five.
The discussion was private. Mari
time laws were gone Into, it, is under
stood, and the deliberations gradual
ly approaching the question, although
the actual settlement would be left to
the league of nations.
This decision was reached, it is
said, because the representatives of
the great powers are desirous that as
much of the work as possible be left
for deliberation by the league.
The exchange of views regarding
the German colonies in the Pacific
included Chinese representations con
cerning Kiau Chow, Austrian claims
to the captured islands near Austral
la, which she holds to be of strategic
Importance for her safety, and other
views.
WILSON WANTS
COLONIES UNDER
LEAGUE CONTROI
LONDON, Jan. 28 In referring to
discussions of the future status of
Germany's colonies by the peace con
gress, the Paris correspondent to the
Mail writes:
"President Wilson appears to have
put forward a general scheme which
may be termed the internationalism of
Germany's late possessions. In prin
ciple it would make it mandatory for
the various powers to administer the
colonies subject to the control of the
league of nations.
"British delegates do not object to
such procedure respecting the colonies
in Africa, although other nations, not
ably the French and Portuguese, do
not acquiesce, and the Union of South
Africa definitely claims German
Southwest Africa. As regards the Pa
cific, Australia claims New Guinea
and the Bismarg archipelago; New
Zealand claims Samoa, and Japan de
sires the Marshalls and Carolinas. Jap
an also suggests an equatorial delim
itation between British and Japanese
influence in the Pacific."
IMMIGRATION
COMMITTEE IN
FAVOR OF BAN
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Legisla
tion prohibiting general Immigration
for a period of four years following
the signing of the peace treaty was ap
proved tentatively today by the house
Immigration committee.
It is understood the committee is di
vided seven to two for the legislation,
with six members absent. Prohibition
of Immigration during the peace re
construction period has been strongly
urged by representatives of organized
labor and others at hearings before
the committee.

RUSSIAN REDS
CONTINUE TO
SHELL ALLIES
ARCHANGEL. Jan. 29 The Ameri
can and allied forces operating south
of Archungcl evacuated Shesovarsk
yesterday and retired 10 miles to the
northward. The Holshevlkl continue to
shell the American and allied positions
at Tarazevo and Taigas.
The forces which retired from She-
govarsk, which is about 65 miles north
of I'st Piulerga (the allied position
furthest south a week ago) today
halted their march northward and es
tablished new positions at th villag
es Yistarka and I'st Sama, on opposite
banks of the Vaga river, at a strategic
'eml in the stream about 10 miles
north of Shegocarsk. The new posi
tions are protected by forests through
which there are no Winter trails In the
Immediate vicinity.
E
ARCHANGEL, Jan. 28. Bolshevik

RUSSIAN REDS
DICTATE TERMS
OF ACCEPTANCE
PARIS. Jan. 28. Further light on
the Bolshevik attitude toward the in
vitation of the allied and associated
powers for a conference with the Rus
sian factions at Princes Islands Is giv
en by an article In the Bolshevik offi
cial newspaper Izvestla of January
26. The correspondent of Le Journal
at Berne telegraphs a quotation from
this article much more moderate In
tone than was the recent note on the
subject sent by M. Tchitcherln, the
Russian foreign minister, to M. Voros-
ky, the Bolshevik emissary at Stock
holm.
The Izvestla article, which was sign
ed by M. Neklor, lays stress on the
Indirect character of the Invitation,
noting that It bore neither address nor
signature. The writer declares that al
lies must choose between the role of
adversaries of the new Russia and
that of arbitrators. If they desire to
prove their fitness to act as arbitra
tors, he Insists, they must completely
evacuate Russia. Then their initiative
he adds, may be taken seriously.
HIGH PRICES GIVEN ITALIANS
BY SECRETARY
NEW YORK, Jan. 27. "Never in
the history of the world were the peo
ples of two nations so knit together in
the glow of friendship as in the first
days of this new year when President
Wilson was the guest of Italy," said
Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy, speaking before the Italy-Ameri
can society In the Metropolitan opera
house Sunday.
Secretary Daniels reviewed Italy's
part in the world war, and said that it
was an epoch-making day in the
world's history when, on August 1
1914, the Italian government inform
ed Germany and Austria that the obli
gations made under the triple alliance
applied only to defensive warfare.
A Coated Tongue V
What it Means
A bad breath, coated tongue, baa
taste in the mouth, languor and debility,
are usually
signs that
the liver is
out of order,
Prof. Hem-
meter says:
"The liver is
an organ
secondary in
importance
only to the
heart."
We can
manu fac
ture poisons
within our
own bodies
which are
as deadly as a snake's venom.
The liver acts as a guard over oar
well-being, sifting out the cinders and
ashes from the general circulation.
A blockade in the intestines piles a
neavy Durclen upon the liver, if the
intestines are choked or clogged no.

poisoned and the system becomes
loaded with toxic waste, and we suffer
from headache, yellow-coated tongue,
bad taste in mouth, nausea, or gas,
acid dyspepsia, languor, debility, yellow
skin or eyes. At such times one should
take a pleasant laxative. Such a one
is made of May-apple, leaves of aloe,
jalap, put into ready-to-use form by
Doctor Pierce, nearly fifty years ago,
and sold for 25 cents by all druggists
