CHI'S LOANS TO BE
WIDELY
DISTRIBUTED
New Consortium Triumph for
American Principle.
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.

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. Great demonstra

Monroe Doctrine and President Wil
son Attacked and Nation Called
"Prussia of Tomorrow."
RIO JANEIRO, Sunday, May 11. An
attack upon the United States is made
by Madeiros De Alburquerque, generally
considered one of the leading journal
ists of Brazil, In a long interview
printed today In A. Nolte. Senor Al
buquerque, who has Just arrived from
he United States, accuses the United
States of "fomenting revolutions" in
Mexico and says that "Brazil is con
sidered by the United States only as a
possible future colony." He adds:
"The United States wants to obtain
s part of the payment of the debt of
France and England a bond for Brazil's
ebts to those powers. On the day this
is realized Brazil will be sold to the
United States, which, on the first oc
casion we fail to meet the interest
ill do to us as she has done to Cen
tral American nations."
Vnitrd State Belittled.
Senor Albuquerque belittles the part
the United States took in the war.
saying that the only American victory
was the battle at St. Mihlel, which, he
ays, was "gained with English artil
lery and French aviation," and attacks
the censorship, which he remarks . has
prevented these and other facts from
becoming known." He attacks the Hon
oe doctrine and President Wilson, rid
iculing the president's activities in the
paace congress. He concludes by say
ing:
The United States lncontestably is
the Prussia of tomorrow."
WASHINGTON, May 12. Proposals
ave been made at Paris by the British
nd French governments that the
United States accept as part payment
for loans advanced them notes and
bonds of some of the South American
republics, including Brazil, which they
hold. It was said here today that there
had been no opposition to. the plan and
that the United States had approved it
because it would remove some of the
nterests of the European powers in
the American continent and thus ac
cord with the principle of the Monroe
doctrine.
Journalist's Statement Denied.
Commenting on the statement at Rio
Janeiro by Madeiros de Albuquerque,
eading journalist of Brazil, regarding
this transfer of debts, state depart
ment officials emphasized that there
was no desire on the part of the United
States to exert any Influence on Bra
zil's internal affairs.
The attack on the United States by
the Brazilian journalist caused surprise
n official and diplomatic circles In
Washington, it being pointed out that
during his stay of seven months In this
country he voiced no opinion of 'hos
tility and frequently expressed the
friendship of Brazil for the Lnited
States. It was learned today at the
Brazilian embassy that while he was
n New York he sent several dispatches
to his paper praising the United States
for its part In tne war ana lis interest
in pan-American affairs.

It's just at this time of the year that
need something taken frost Nature
to restore the vital forces.
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.
Try them by all means. They are proba
