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

, 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.

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?"

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

LOSS OFAPPETITE
Most Successfully Treated by Taking
Hood's Saraaparllla.
Loss of appetite is accompanied by
loss of vitality, which is serious.
It is common in the Spring because
at this time the blood is impure and
impoverished and fails to give the
digestive organs what is absolutely
necessary for the proper perform
ance of their functions.
Hood's Sarsaparilla the old reli
able all-the-year-round medicine, is
especially useful in the Spring. Get
it from your druggist today. By
purifying and enriching the blood
and giving vitality, vigor and tone.
It is wonderfully successful in the
treatment of loss of appetite and the
other ailments prevalent at this time.
It is not simply a Spring medicine it
is much more than that but it is the
best Spring medicine.
Hood's Sarsaparllla makes the rich
red blood the digestive organs need.

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.
