ASSEMBLY IN TURMOIL Demand People cions Miidc That Friendship of in Battlc-ScarrccI He lie Cultivated Ci-ics of Shame"' Greet Speaker. LONDON. March 20. A wild scene oc curred in the German Reichstag today during the second reading of the budget, according to a Berlin telegram received by Reuter" Telegram Agency by way of Amsterdam. The tumult was aroused by a speech delivered by George ledebour. a Socialist Deputy, who pro tested against "the military adminis tration's trying to Germanise parts of vrpnch territory, from which arises on the part of Alsace-Lorraine a desire for Trench rule. The statement was received with an srisrry outburst on the part of the aepu ties, sonic members srouutiB. "What about the party of peace?' i-nntinninir Herr Ledebour said: I indorse everything s -id in praise of our brave troops and their command ers, but in political performances the militarv ai thorlties arc not up to date. J am horr fied to learn that for every German vi lage burned by the Russians. three Rus .lan Jllages shall oe ourneu. , t..- nw Harhirimn I'rotfMted. This is barbarism." shouted Dr. Karl Liehknecht, another Socialist Deputy, while from the right came three Indig nant protests, one member snouting. We won't permit the supreme mill tary authorities to be thus attacked." When order had been temporarily re inr-fl Herr Ledeiour continued: "duch a measure strikes, not only at the Russians, but at the roles and U thuanians. on whose co-operation we must count." This stateine-' resulted in a re nrueri disturbance and cries of "finish. the Deputies springing from their seats and excitedly shouting ior oruer, i Vice-President of the House, in the meantime having declared that criti cism of the army administration was not permissible. Friendly Policy Advised. "Knrouraned by members of his own party, who shouted. "Speak up in the name of your party," Herr Ledebour r-nntinued: "The German policy must be such that these peoples will see in Germany n shield and a safeguard for their free dom. As a Socialist and as a German patriot I believe I ought to emphasize this. I have done this in the interest ol my beloved fatherland and of h-urope. Herr Ledebour concluded his speech in the face of loud opposition cries of "shame." Liberal Demands Reprisals. The leaders of the various parties protested against the remarks made by Jieputy Ledebour. Major Krnst as sennann, a National Liberal member, said: "We regret the necessity for such reprisals, but if the Russians burn on ell sides and violate women, shall we consider that this does not demand such action from our military authori ties as will put a stop to the inhuman warfare waged by the Russians? Herr Groteben, of the Center party. said that if the military authorities were compelled, in view of the Russian actions, to take the severest reprisals In the shape of measures which are permissible under international law, they should not be hindered by the rep resentatives of the people. I'hilipp Scheidemaun. a Socialist Deputy, declared in the name of his party that "Herr Ledebour was Invited to speak only on the language of the tjuestlon; his other remarks were made on his own account and he alone bears the responsibility for them." Criticism Declared Insulting. Minister of the Interior Delbrueck asserted that he would not be worthy, In the present situation, if he replied to Herr Ledebour's speech. "For every one present today." de clared the minister, "this hour will be among his bitterest memories. Herr Ledebour's criticism Is unconstitutional and insulting in form and is directed Against the most honored army leader. "The war has taught us that we are materially and morally richer than we believe, and that the German Father land is a holy treasure for every Ger man, without consideration of religion or party. Matters which divided us In times of peace now have been set aside In this imperishable success. which offers new proof to the enemy of the economic and moral invincibility of the German people. The estimates of the ministers of In terior, Colonies and Navy were agreed to. War Held Complete Sneeeaa. Dr. Karl Ilelffrelch, secretary of the Imperial Treasury, in an address said: "The result of the loan is splendid news. Reports from all quarters show that the subscriptions to the first loan have been greatly surpassed by those to the second. With two loans amount ing to a total of about 12,000.000.000 marks (J3.000.000.000) we shall have exceeded England by from 4,000,000.000 to 5. 'J00. 000.000 marks. This proves the unbroken and unbreakable econom ical and financial strength of Germany and her determined resolution to hold out to the end." Deniitv Scheidemann said that the Socialists had the same ground for vot ing the war credits as they had on August 4 and December 2 and would vole for the budget. The Reichstag declared vacant the eat of Abbe Kmlle Wetterle, who is now in France. ROUMANIAN RULER WHOSE COUNTRY MAY FIGHT AUSTRIA. BANKERS URGED TO LEAD Branches In South America Declared Essential for Greater Trade. ROCK FORD. 111.. March 20. The ne cessity for establishing branch banks In South .America to facilitate trade from this country was emphasized to night by Edward X. Hurley, vice chairman of the Federal Trade Com mission, in an address before the Rock ford Manufacturers' and Shippers' As sociations "It is now possible for National banks to establish branch banks abroad and they are also now permitted to ttrcept foreign drafts based on bills of lading." Mr. Hurley said. "But this is not enough: American banks should lead, not follow, the procession into foreign lands. "It will be difficult for American capital to escape the conclusion that the line between domestic business and Jordan business is becoming fainter and fainter. "Why not let investors, bankers, manufacturers, railroad and steamship men steadily pull together for the sys tematic expansion of our foreign trade?" i r y - '""ni " - t ic ; u h I If : rfJ I , U J, t I T f,-- X s 4 K:--J I r - Mr . i i t t KIG J'KRDIXAXD. ! 4 E KIG J'KRDIXAXD. Roumania may yet enter the European conflict Her territory has been violated by a force of Austrians who attempted to cross her bor der in order to get at Kladovo, the only place in Serbia on the Danube permitting communication with Roumania. The Austrians are reported to have opened fire on frontier guards and to have been repulsed with heavy losses. Ferdinand. King ,of Roumania. whose picture Is here shown, ascended the throne October 10, 1914. upon the death of his uncle. King Carol I. The King is loved by hla people, who are highly anti-Austrian. It is largely due to the pacific influence of the late King Carol that Roumania did not enter the war in the early part of the struggle. FRENCH HOLD LINE German Offensive Movements Reported Checked.

She Stopped Her Son From Drinking , A st Loula Woman Stopped Her Son From Drinking With a Simple Home Heclpc That She Gave Secretly. She Telia What She Gave. A well-known resident of St. Louis, whose son had used liquor to excess for years, broke him of the habit by using a simple home recipe which she gave secretly. In reply to the ques tion as to what she used she made the following statement: "I used a simple prescription which I mixed at home and it is as follows: To S oz. of water add 20 grains of muriate of ammonia. small box of Varlex Compound and 10 grains of pepsin. I gave a teaspoonful three times a day in his coffee. Any druggist can mix it for you, or supply these ingredients at very little cost. This recipe can be given secretly in coffee, tea or milk, or in the food, as it has no taste, color or smell and is per fectly harmless. I believe any mother or wife can do as I have and rid their dear ones of this awful habit." Adv. WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICIhV 'Indigrestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble are, nine times out of ten, due to acidity; therefore stom ach sufferers should, whenever possi ble, avoid eating food that is acid in its nature, or winch by chemical action in the stomach develops acidity. Unfor tunately, such a rule eliminates most foods which are pleasant to the taste as well as those which are rich in blood, flesh and nerve-building- proper ties. This is the reason why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are usually so thin, emaciated and lacking: in that vital energy which can only come from a well-fed body. For the benefit of those surrerers who have been oblig-ed to exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and are trying- to keeo ud a miserable existence on g-iuten products, 1 would suggest that you should try a meal of any food or foods which you may like, in moderate amount, taking- immediately afterwards teaspoonnu or m sura tea mapneaia in little hot or cold water. This will neutralize any acid which may be pres ent, or which may be formed, and in stead of the usual feeling of uneasi ness, ana muness, you win rind that your food agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is doubtless the best food corrective and antacid known. It has no direct action on the stom ach; but by neutralizing the aciditv of the food contents, and thus removing the source of the acid irritation which inflames the delicate stomach limner, it does more than could possibly be done by any drug or meaicine. As a phvst- cian, I believe in the use of medicine whenever necessary, dui i muj-t admit that I cannot see the sense of dosins; an inflamed and Irritated stomach with drugs instead of getting: Hd of tie acid the cause of all the trouble. Get a little bisurated magnesia from your druggist, eat what you want at your next meal, take some of the his u rated magnesia as directed above, and eee if lm not right.' Adv.
