A clause has been drafted for tnser tion in the peace treaty fixing the date tor the transition to a state of peace 0 das after the signing of the treaty.

According to the present plan each nation will ratify the treaty cording to its own laws but ail will unite in a common date which will be come a universal day of peace. It is being considered whether the I nited States, as an associated power. but not an ally, should sign a separate treaty of peace with Germany. It would be the same treaty as that signed by the allies and would be signed at the same time as part of the same ceremony. DESTROYER OFF FOR CANAL rci on .Maiden oymzc t-ors on ccxnil Lap of Horn!

The president of Zemstvo assembly announced that peasants of their region have collected more than a million - rubles for the army. The representative of the social revolutionists announced that his party has excluded from its ranks those who have opened parleys with the bolshe viki. "A representative of the people's socialists said: 'At this moment when all forces must be united to re-estab- ush the state party, the neoDle's socia ists will support the Omsk government neaaed by Admiral Kolchak. Th party approves of the democratic course chosen by the Omsk govern menu Kolchak Makea Reply. "To these speeches Admiral Kolchak answered: 'During my tour to the front I orten met representatives of muni cipalities. zemstvos, professional work ingmen and socialist organizations. am happy to state that there is com plete unity of purpose and action be tween the government and representa tives of the people. The time has passed forever when the governmen and public opinion in Russia were dif ferent and opposed to each other. new free Russia must be built upon a complete union between the govern ment and the people. 'The programme of the govern ment is to re-establish the economic and political life of the country in close co-operation with organs of local self-governments, municipalities and zemstvos. The first task of the gov ernment is to re-establish a rule of law and order, the rule destroyed by bol shevism from left and right. The gov ernment will fight without any pos sibility of compromise bolsheviki of the left and of the right, with the pur pose to establish a great free demo cratic Russia. The future Russia will be a demo cratic Russia. The government of which have the honor to be the head be lieves in universal suffrage, in autono mous development of the nationalities comprising Russia, in the democratic solution of the main Russian problems the land problem and labor problem. Old Relations Desired. 'With regard to international rela tions, the government will endeavor to continue relations which were estab lished between Russia and the rest of the world at the moment of Russia's entrance into the war in 1914. The government will do its best to strength en the bonds between itussia ana tne allies. It is evident that no concilia- ion is possible with the bolsheviki Those of the allied leaders who recent ly supported the idea of the Prinkipo conference are now repudiating the bolsheviki and call them by their prop er name murderers of humanity. " 'This is the programme of the rov ernment a programme for realization of which it calls upon the country to be ready for sacrifices. The government considers the people of Russia supreme authority in all problems pertaining to Russia s life. After the menace of bolshevism is destroyed the people of Russia, through a freely chosen con stituent assembly, will express their supreme will and will define the struc ture of the state, the solution of the main political, social and national problems. The government and myself will consider it our duty to transfer (o a constituent assembly all power ROUSING patriotic pro pram me will be friven by the Portland Woman's riub at the Multnomah hotel this aft ernoon at 3 o'clock.

US FIFTH STREET BETWEEN MORRISON Upstairs AND ALDER You may not believe me when I tell you that I actually gained seven pounds in weight on my first bottle of Tanlac, but It is the truth just the same," said T. G. Landers, who lives at 68 Buchtel street, Portland, to a Tanlac representative the other day. Mr. Landers was conductor on the Portland street railway up to four months ago, when he had to give up his job on account of bad health. W hen I commenced taking Tanlac, continued Mr. Landers, "I was so com pletely run down that I was not able to do the very lightest kind of work For about two years my stomach was In mighty bad condition, and what little food I managed to eat seemed to do me more harm than good. Always after meals I would have Indigestion and would be all bloated up with gas for two or three hours. Then 1 would have terrible pains in the pit of my stomach. My strength and energy just gradually left me. and my work got to be a drag to me. Finally my nerves- went back on me, and it was ver.v seldom that I got a good night's sleep nd would get up every morning teei ng so worn out that 1 was naraiy able to go to my work. This condi tion kept up, and I just continued to go own hill until 1 was compeiiea to give up my job altogether. I heard aoout laniac ana me goua was doing so many people, and I ecided to give it a trial and see what it would do for me. ell. sir, it is just marvelous the way Tanlac has disposed of my troubles. Why, I have such a big appetite that it just looks like I can't get enough to cat, and the best part of it is everything I eat agrees- with me perfectly. I am never bothered with gas forming after meals and all my strength and energy has come back to me, and I am working hard every day. I sleep well, too. and I hardly ever wake up during the night. I am gaining in weight right along and my entire system has been greatly built up. I never have that tired, worn-out feeling now, but I just feel fine all the -time. Tanlac is a mighty good medicine, and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to recom mend it to everybody." Tanac is sold in Portland by the Owl Jrua Company.
