MANY BANKS INTERESTED Loans by International Group Will 15e Guaranteed by Governments Concerned In Deals. WASHINGTON, 'llay 12. Organiza tion of a new consortium for financing Chinese loans, announced today in Paris dispatches, is regarded in official circles here as a triumph for the new American principle of extension of the scope of participation in international financial arrangements. ' At the state department it was said officially that under the conditions which are to govern the new con sortium the government practically, if not in 6pecific terms, guarantees the investments of the banking group in terested. It was announced that if the terms of the loan are just and the con ditions fair and if China agrees to the terms under which the loans are made this government would assure the bankers that the United -States would protect all the interests secured In good faith. Many Banks Interested. Thirty-seven American banks. It was learned, are Interested in the loans that will be made to China by the interna tional group. This is understood to have been one of the points contended for by the state department after the United States withdrew from the form er consortium when the American representation was limited to four large New Tork banks and no other American banks could secure an Inter est in Chinese loans. The 37 banks which are to compose the proposed American group are said to represent all the geographical sections of the United States and the eame principle is said to obtain in the group of nations represented. While the present organization is a four-power group, the United States, Great Britain, P'rance and Japan, with a reservation for Belgium when the bankers of that country are able to participate, It Is not limited to these countries. Other countries may be ad mitted, it was said, and other banking houses in each of the countries may be admitted to the banking croup of any country. The American representa tives at the Paris conference were Thomas W. Lamont of J. P. Morgan & Company, of New York, and Jerome D. Greene of Lee, Higginson & Company, Boston. - . nanker Xow InvefltlKatinST. . Loans, guaranteed by the various countries under the conditions provided by the respective governments, it was explained, may be made to the Chinese government direct or for Industrial or political purposes in China, providing the loans are accepted, approved or guaranteed by the Chinese government. J. J. Abbott, a1 Chicago banker, is now. in China as a representative of the United States group making an Investigation of conditions in China and the needs of the Chinese govern ment preparatory to formulating the first loan contemplated. He is about to return to the United States and will report to the bankers of the group. No definite loan, it was said today, has vet been determined upon, but with the formation of the new organization in Paris the way is cleared to enter tain any suggestion for a loan. tions of protest have been held In Ber lin, Breslau and other cities. No lss personage than Kriederich Ebert, president of Germany, has an nounced that he is standing on Presi dent Wilson's 14 points for peace. Kbert alluded to the peace treaty as a "monstrous document," which, he said, holds no precedent in determina tion completely to annihilate van quished peoples. German government troops are still hard after the radical element. They have seized Leipsic, one of the last strongholds of the spartacans. A state of siege has been proclaimed there. Early June has been tentatively chosen for the commencement of the withdrawal of American troops from north Russia. The Americans have not been engaged in fighting of great im portance for several months. Recognition of Corea as an Inde pendent state and the liberation of the country from Japan has been requested of the peace conference in Paris.

International Situation. (By the Associated Press.) A CONFERENCE between Baron Sonnio, Italian foreign minister. w Sonnino, Italian foreign minister. can peace delegates, regarding Italy's claims to Fiume and the Adriatic coast, a meeting of the council of four at which the notes presented by the Ger- man peace delegation concerning pris oners of war and labor were turned over to experts for investigation, and th completion of the task of defining the new Austrian boundaries repre sented the activities in peace confer ence circles in Paris Monday. The result of the conversation be tween Baron Sonnino and E. M. House has not been made public. Meantime, dispatches from Rome indicate that the Italian population again is becoming restive after having learned that the report of last week that Italy's claims . to Fiume had been settled was er roneous. Added to this irritation is dissatis faction because Italy was not men tioned as one of the parties to the pro posed Anglo-Franco-American alliance the question of the division of Austria's merchant marine; the treaty provision with Germany that the three principal powers are sufficient to ratify the treaty and other smaller matters in which the Italians feel they have been slighted. While the Austrian delegates are well on their way to St. Germain-en- Laye, there to be informed of the con ditions for peace for their country, the Germans at Versailles are still exam ining the peace treaty. In addition to the six minor members of the delega tion who left Versailles for Berlin late last week, two of the more prominent members, Herr Giesberts and Lands berg, have gone to Germany, evidently to confer with the German govern ment. From Germany come reports of dis satisfaction over the treaty terms. Re iteration that it will be impossible to carry out the provisions are to be heard everywhere.

People get sick because they go away from Nature, and the only way to get well is to go back. Something grows out of the ground in the form of vegetation to cure almost every ill. Some of these vegetable growths are understood by man, and some are not. Animals, it would seam, know what to do when they are sick better than men and women. Observers have noted that a sick horse, dog or eat will stop eating food and seek out some vegetable growth in the field or yard, which, when found and eaten, often restores appetite and health. Haven't yon seen these ji do this very thing yourself? Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, long since found herbs and roots; provided Nature to overcome coutipaWen, and of these he selected Mayapple. leaves of Aloe, root of Jalap, and from them made little white sugar-coated pills, that he called Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Yoa must understand that when your intestines are stopped up, poisons and decayed matter are im prisoned in oar system and these are carried by the blood through your body. Thus does your head ache, you get dissy, you can't sleep, your skin may break out, your appetite declines you get tired and despondent. As a matter of fact, you may get sick all over. Don't you see how useless all this suffer ing is? Allthat is often needed is a dose of castor oil, or something which is more pleasant, a few of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which he has placed in all drug stores for your convenience and health.
