British Ruler Receives Delega

TRIBUTE PAID TO ARMIES
French, Italian and Belgian Parlia

Inter-Ally Deputation.
LONDON. Oct. 22. (British Wireless
Service.) Kins Georg-e received a large
deputation of Inier-parllaroentary dele
Kates at Buckingham Palace yesterday.
The deputation Included 30 British rep
resentatives. 22 from France, eight from
Italy aiyi one from Belgium.
"More than two years have passed,'
said the King, "since ths first visit of
the inter-parliamentary committee of
the French chambers, when you and we
were In the throes of a conflict, the
Issue of which then seemed to many
toreign observers uncertain, although
jrou and we never doubted that our
rause. being the cause of right and
humanity, would prevail. Now the
armies of France, Italy. Belgium and
the United States, side by side with

them, his forces shattered, his people
clamoring for peace.
"Victory is within our reach. And
we are all agreed that it must be a
complete victory. I congratulate you.
senators and deputies of Italy, on the
prospect which opens before you of
recovering the regions guarded by those
Alpine snows where your valiant sol
diers have won such glory regions
inhabited by men of your own race and
speech, who have long desired to be
united to free Italy.
Italy to (irt Provlaeea Back:.
"And I congratulate you. senators
and deputies of France, on tne ap
nrnjirhinir restoration of provinces torn
from vou 47. years ago. which have
never wavered in their loving attach
ment to France."
King Ueorge recalled that while be
tween Great Britain and Italy there
had always been peace, it was nce
otherwise as to Great Britain and
France who had waged many a war
in former centuries. -But." he contin
ued, "in those days there was always
on both sides a spirit of chivalry which
forbade bitterness? and when peace
came it was made with a sense of mu
tual respect. We-In England have al
ways continued to admire the brilliant
gifts of France, gladly owning our in
tellectual debt to her. as we own also
our debt from even earlier days to the
versatile genius of Italy.
Affrrtioa Joias Natloas.
"That respect and gratitude have
furnished a solid foundation for the
affection which has now grown up be
tween your nation and ours. Conse
crated by the memories of the heroes
who have fallen fighting side by side
in this war. animated by the same de
votion to their countries and to jus
tice, this affection ana mis memory
are pledges of our future concord. Such
concord and co-operation will, we trust,
become under the blessings of Provl
dence a security for peace not only to
our own peoples, bin to all free Eu

oaths of tranquillity and progress.
"And you. sir. representative of the
senators and deputies of Belgium, we
rejoice to see you also upon our soil.
Your country, wantonly and wickedly
attacked and devastated, has had ter
rible sufferings to undergo, but the day
of your deliverance is at hand. The
British people, which has felt for you
through those sufferings, has admired
the constancy and loyalty of your peo
ple and the devotion of your soldiers
and earnestly wishes for you a return
of that prosperity which you enjoyed
and which you gallantly sacrificed at
the call of duty."
hope of avoiding ultimately throwing
the German nation upon the mercy
of its enemies.
Ham's Allies Ignored.
Austria-Hungary and Turkey were
scarcely mentioned here in today'a
discussion of the situation, though it
was noted that the presented German
communication says nothing whatever
about "in harmony with our allies."
It seems that both the allies and Ger
many regard the lesser central powers
as virtually out of the war. though the
forces working within their borders
have a little more to do before sur

Senator Lodge. Republican leader
and ranking minority member of the
foreign relations committee, issued

German note as another poorly laid trap
and reiterating his opinion that only

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2? S e n a t o r
Lodge, of Massachusetts. Republican
leader, in a statement today, branded
Germany's latest note as a "clumsy
trap, awkwardly set. to Involve us in
diplomatic discussions." and said that
if it is answered at all it should be
with demands for only uncoadltional
surrender.
"It seems to be unbelievable. said
Senator Lodge, "that anyone should be
taken in by the lat German note. It
is varnished over with a little false
flattery, directed to the President and
the people of the United States which
can deceive no one. It will not bear
the slightest analysis.
"They desire to discuss details. What
they call details are the vital Issues of
the war. No attention need be given
to their denial of illegal and inhumane
actions.
. "Only a day 4r two ago they took
15.000 women and girls out of Lille
when they abandoned that city. Is
that a military act, in accordance with
international law?
"They wish to refer the, destruction
of our women and children on the
Lusitania to a neutral commission. The
American people do not Intend to have
the decision of any commission on such
a question as that.
"The American people have not for
gotten the direction of the German Min
ister at Buenos Aires to "sink and leave
no trace."
"Of reparation and it must be very
large there is not a word.
"Of course, all they say about chang
ing their government is pure camou
flage. There has been no election in
Germany. It Is the same old Reichstag,
governed by the same forces and in
terests. "The President's reply to the Aus
trian note was complete and universal

should be any reply to this German !
note, but if there is. let it be simply
that we demand the same terms which
the allies forced upon Bulgaia an un
conditional surrender. 'Unconditional

understood by all the world.

These two officials were first Im

Food conditions are rapidly becoming

a march to the Smolny Institute, in
protest against the order of M. Zino

conscripting all sailors, according to
neutrals arriving here today.
. The Bolsheviki organized a resistance
and the sailors were attacked and de
feated. Many of them later were exe
cuted. Street fighting and riots con
tinued for several days as a result of
an attempt to round up the men sus
pected of promoting the uprising.
The sailors have been disaffected

of the Baltic fleet, who saved it from
capture by the Germans.
Simultaneously, with the 'outbreak

Mr. Palmer, "and reached the point
where I never expected to get well, or
even any better. I spent thousands of
dollars trying to get relief, but grad
ually got worse. Every muscle in my
body seemed to be drawn up, every
joint stiff, and I could not move with
out Buffering agony. When I walked
instead of lifting my feet I would just
have to drag them along, and if my
life had depended on- it I could not

laid up for more than two years at one

I couldn t get up without holding onto

feet it would take me several minutes
to straighten myself up. During the
past year or two my condition became
very much worse. My whole system
seemed to be run down. My kidneys

back hurt me and at times I would
almost scream from pain.

stomach would bloat up after eating
and my food would sour and add more
to my misery. I would lay awake more

blue and despondent over my condition,
and yet could see no way out of my
suffering.
