The wnrm semi-tropical day was spoiled by rain and winds, whichcame on in the afternoon, driving 'many from the decks. The president re mained in his suite during most of the day and evening, workina- at intervals.

It is believed that he will make some expression of appreciation for the support rendered in the war by the congres- now retiring. The continued rest seems to be of sreat benefit to the president, for he is not as tired as when he left port. f - tun P , niyiK ij I H;Jljr':j AMERICANS WATCH MOVES CONCRETE SHIP LAOMGHEDT SLIDES IXTO COLUMBIA .

In reply to a question of" represen tative Campbell why the soldit-rs in the battle were without their blankets, General Traub said that these and all other unnecessary equipment were re moved when a soldier entered a battle Governor Allen was not at the front. General Traub said, .hot be afterward modified his statement, sayinir he had an impression that the Kansas gover nor was seen by him at the triage. Several days before the betrinninj; o( th battle. General Traub said, he had seat the V. II. C. A. workers. Including Mr. Alien, to the rear so as to guard the secrets of the operation. V. M. C A. Leak Explained. "Have you any reason to believe that there might be a leak through the' y. M. C.A.T' asked Representative Campbell. Yep, answered General Traub, who explained that while the division was in the Vosges the twe of a raid was learned by people farcin the rear and that it was possible a V. M. C. A. work er sent there for supplies had men tioned casually the preparations with out intention of informing' the enemy. "If the Germans knew what was com infr not a single man would have come back alive." declared the general, "but it was pulled off and was successful. We never took a chance with the boche."

"If Mr. Allen said he saw it. that's right, for I know Mr. Allen," replied the general. "Did w have adequate aero protec tion?" asked Representative Roden burg of Illinois. At times we did. at times we did not." answered General Traub, adding that "whenever a call was sent for ma chines they appeared, but that there probably were times along the 20- mile front when the aircraft was need ed more at one point than another." Regarding the shortage of horses. General Traub said it was impossible sup- ravine iumj. it tuucneu . weum blow up tne whole place," but it crof-eed after- the night ot the first day of the bat tle, the general tttifletf. Other artil lery was available and in use at this time, he said. add1ng that "tajk about the lack ot artillery Is not true." September 2S the boche was counter aiiacKins, continued the officer. "The artillery jrlre fell about 1000 yards short ami a nair auzen shells burst on the range where our men were. We at once had the range changed. . Not a half dozen shells from American artil lery burst rn our ranks." When members sounat to questio"n him further at this point General Traub asked to- be excused from mentioning the French artillery which, was support ing the. Americans in the fight. Support Is Available. In reply to questions regarding charges that Americans fought German artillery with infantry arms, General Traub said that "in every case when i we got reports of where thA hoehe artillery was or where his strong point were we sonitea nimy and that is astil lery support. .ever did a report ask for artillery uipun or snow io oocne strong point Lua.i tney uia not get artillery port." he added. w nen Bis attention was called to his citation of infantrymen for crtpturing i uenerw i rauD smiled rubbed his hands and said: iou net, tney got 24 pieces of some big ones and everything was turned uK.iuisi me own.

Referring to a shortage f stretchers, General Traub said the shortajta could not ue questioned, but he added: -"There were not enough in the whole American expeditionary force for 7000 cases at one point in a short time." Slightly wounded men, he said, were forced to return to ihe rear' despite ineir wisnes. The troops were without winter underwear. Generul Traub explained, because they had been in the Vosges, where the climate was warm. General Traub was twice gassed" dur ing the battle and at one time -while at the front he said a German airplane peppered him with machine-gun fire and signalled for artillery fire. He ex plained how he estimated where- the big shells would fall, and, how hej walked to miss all of the hundred fired at him except one, which fell -two yards; behind him, but failed to explode. He' said he did not wash his face-or hands for six days, had little sleep during the Dattie and Kept alive on cigarettes in stead of food." English Eager to Get Grip on Jig Business Opportunities Before Hun Blockade Is Lifted.' BY JOSEPH W. GRIGG. . . (Copyright, 1919, by the New Tsrk World. Published by Arrangement.) LONDON, Feb 20. (Special by wire less.) If Germany can read, the hand writing on the wall she' may see in the lowering- of the barriers of - British trade In Bulgaria, Roumania and South Russia the first big movement toward British exploitation of markets which the. German Kaiser and his indnstrial magnates had hoped to fence off for German monopoly. - There is still another significant sign of the invasion of that reserved field, which is furnished by the pres ence in Europe of at least a dozen American financiers who have come abroad, it is understood, to consult their foreign representatives on trade pros pects In this eastern zone. Americans Scan Field. American business men also have been keen to observe the British im position of travel restrictions in Scan dinavia as another indication of the awakened interest by Great Britain in markets in which Germany held strong possession before the war, and to whicb German manufacturers confidently ex pect to return when the blockade shall be raised. While these .movements are of chief importance o Germany. Americans also have become convinced by the ac tivities of the last few days that John Bull is rolling up his sleeves for a trade battle. In this connection there are two outstanding facts of great sig nificance to American business inter ests, and they have not been lost on the financiers and representatives of manufacturers who are now here. The first is that, taking a leaf out of the j war book, British interests appreciate I that mobilization of effort goes a long way m trade success, as in military success, and the other is that trade de velopment depends on efficient co-op-eration. Labor Situation W atched. The industrial situation here is rec ognized as a serious handicap at the moment,, -in British trade development.- In financial quarters it is also felt that British credit abroad, especially in America, may be Injured by the insta bility of the labor situation. It is understood that J. jP. Morgan has been busily engaged during his stay ' here in studying the bearing of the threatened labor upheaval in Eu rope on international finances. . Other American financiers also are concerned with that matter. Mr. Morgan's avowed errand here was to discuss with 'Brit ish bankers Anglo-American financial matters. .He expects to sail for home tomorrow on the Aquitania.

"1 hive suffered a (treat deal in the past 10 years with kidney and liver troubles," continued Mrs. Liles, "and my stomach was in very --d condition also. I had terrible pains in the small or my back nearly all the time and there was hardly a day that I did not have bad headaches. My appetite was very poor and the little I did eat would sour -or. my -atomach and gas would form so bad that it .oiten pressed against my heart and caused it to pal pitate something awfuL I seemed to get weaker' and more run down every day and finally got so weak that if I tried to walk as much as a block I would have to. eit down and rest four or fiye times. I tried a good many different kinds of medicine, but noth ing seemed to do me any good until I got hold of Tanlac. . "I am 75 years old and a medicine that will build up arid strengthen an old person as much as Tanlac has me. is certainly worth recommending to anybody. I have actually gained 15 pounds, since I began taking Tanlac and feel stronger and better than 1 have felt in years.- My kidneys and liver seem to be in, perfect condition now and 1 -can't remember the day when I ever had such an appetite. The condition of my stomach has improved so much that everything I eat agrees with me perfectly. - Why, as old as 1 am, Tanlac has' built me up so much that I can do the family washing. I just can't get along without this won derful medicine and I expect to always keep it on hand. I hope my experience will cause many dhers to take Tanlac and be benefited by It las I have been."
