It Is undoubtedly true that alj the allies feel sllshtly shocked at Houmanla'a contempt for their lofty edicts, i To this extent they are agreed but bow far they are willing to go i toward bringing .Roumanla. to "reason is another matter. Roumanla, as I have said. Is the cor nerstone of France's continental policy. Great Britain, the traditional aim , of which on the continent has been merely to prevent any single European nation from becoming too strong, has consist ently supported France's policy, except when domestic reasons - such as labor opposition, obliges her representatives to make a momentary show of a more liberal spirit j Both Britain and' France have been continually disposed to sacri fice Hungary to the Roumanian, Jugo slav, Czecho-jSlav and - Polish dalms and Bulgaria! to the Jugo-Slav, Rou manian and Greek claims. Their pres ent ' Indignation against . Roumanla. therefore, probably arises not so much from Roumanla's action In Hungary as from the fact that this occupation works an injustice to the claims of the Jugo slavs and the Czecho-Slovaks. whose friendship France and Great Britain are equally desirous of keeping. SKEPTICAL OF LEAGUE. As for Italy, her fundamental policy is the Isolation of Jugo-Slavia. To this end she may be expected to desire con ciliation between the Roumanians and Hungarians but she would doubtless not be worried toi see Roumanla profit at tne expense of Jugo-Slavia. Our American delegates are talking Indignantly of excluding Roumanla from the league of nations unless she behaves and bringing economic and fin ancial pressure to bear on her. The Roumanians are openly skeptical of the league ana asjior economic or financial pressure they tare convinced that Amer ican business men will find it to their Interest to do business with Roumanla whether or - no they like Roumania'a politics. . .

"Unlike some churches," said 'Dr. Fandrey, we do not intend to under take a missionary campaign in Russia to get converts from former adherents of the Russian orthodox churches.

Special Cable to The Jonmtl and The Chlcaco Duly News. (Copyright, IS 19, by Chicago Daily Mews C&) Paris, France, Aug. 22T Roumanla's actions in Hungary frankly raise the question whether the allies do not need Roumania more than Roumania needs the allies. The allies' continental policy has been largely France's ? continental policy . because it is recognized, as Pres ident Wilson said, that France is the outpost of civilization on the European continent. The nightmare of the entente is the possible formation of a Russo-German block which, with Hungary, Austria and Bulgaria. . would be exceedingly large and powerful. Frances whole contin ental policy has been directed, therefrom to supporting the maximum claims of Poland, Roumania, Jugo-Slavia, Czecho slovakia and Greece at the expense of Germany and in particular f Hungary and Bulgaria. ? WANTS STBOSG EOUHANIA. France hopes br developing a strong Poland and Roumania to keep the Rus sians and Germans separated. These two states may be said to form France's first line of defense. Csecho-Slovakia, Jugo Slavla and Greece form the second line. If Roumania leaves the entente she is bound to swing toward the Russo German combination. France's first line of defense would thus completely collapse. Permanent alienation of Roumanla would be of the gravest consequences to the whole of the entente diplomacy. The American delegates who may be tempt ed to judge Roumanla's action as an Isolated incident should not overlook these fundamental conceptions of Eu ropean "high politics." Americans around the Hotel de Crlllon have the Impression that Great Britain and Italy share the American point of view with regard to Roumanla's Hungarian ad- AMERICAN MISSION TO A1SIA MINOR CREATES SI AMONG NATIVES Resolution Declaring Certain Re gionsl Must Be Severed From Turkey Brings Great Joy. r Our S 'Fall howing 0 of suits for men and young men will appeal to you strongly.

A motion was also brought before the house that a note be sent j to the American govern ment thanking it for the support given China at the peace conference concern ing the Shantung Issue, but as the mo tion was not presented on the day's agenda or schedule it was not' voted on. According to what ; I learn, while par liamentary authorisation has thus been given to issue a mandate declaring that a state of war with Germany1 no longer exists, his legal advisers have warned the president hot to publish It, main taining that it jwould create a precedent and give Germany an opportunity to re buff China by refusing to acknowledge China's right to declare peace without full negotiations. The president Is ad vised to allow the delegates now in Paris to open up negotiations following the regular procedure. The Japanese are still active ln at tempting to persuade China to sign the peace treaty as decided by the Paris conference, but great opposition is still shown against !it. ; !

Constantinople, Turkey, - Aug. s2. American members of the commission named by the peace conference to in vestigate rival claims in - Asia : Minor', consisting of Charles R. Crane of Chi cago and Henry Churchill King, presi dent of Oberlin college, are creating the greatest political stir in the orient since the signature of the armistice because the attitude taken at the extensive -private headings encourages all the native people tp believe that an American mandate is possible for the Turkish em pire. The hearings began two weeks ago, the commission inviting deputa tions from all Turkish parties as well as- the heads of the Armenian, Greek and Jewish communities, to appear for the purpose of expressing., their wishes regarding the future status of . Turkey. EESOI.TJTION 8TABTLES As th deputations appear they are made acquainted with the instructions guiding tha commission in the investi gation, which includes : "Because of the historical' misgovernment by the Turks of subject peoples and the terrible mas sacres of Armenians and others in re cent years, the. allied and associated powers have agreed that Armenia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Palestine and Arabia must be severed from the Turkish empire, this without prejudice to the settlement of other parts of the Turkish empire." The Turkish delegates were thrown Into consternation when the above instruc tions were read to them. The Armenians 'and Greeks were overjoyed while the Jews were inclined to sympathize with the Turks. TUEKEPS WOES EXPLAINED Mr. Crane explanied to all the Turk ish delegates that since-1878 90 per cent of Turkey's woes were due to two causes first, because the Dardanelles were not a free waterway and. second, because of the Armenian problem. Mr. Crane emphasized the necessity of settling these two questions at once and forever. All the Turkish parties with one insig nificant exception agree with Mr. Crane's diagnosis and are eager to co operate in settling their own difficulties. They admit the necessity of opening the Dardanelles and also of constituting an Independent or autonomous Armenia where the Armenians can find a sanctu ary, reasoning that if the Armenians have their own country and decline to go there then the sporadic racial trou bles could not be blamed on the gov ernment, but the responsibility would rest on the shoulders of those Armen ians who remain in Turkey and also on those Turks who remain within any ter ritory designated as Armenia. NEWSPAjPEBS COMMEJTT Practically every Turkish newspaper devotes columns daily to the doings of the American commissioners and open ly urges the United States to accept a mandate for Turkey as a whole. The present government, which Is hot backed up by any substantial party, Is luke warm and Is seeking by hook or crook to preserve absolute Turkloh sovereignty in the Ottoman empire, rejecting tacitly any form; of intervention liable to en croach on; Turkish sovereign rights. Tet even the government would willingly receive economic and financial aid from the Unite4 States. Every other element In Turkish political life Is bringing a tremendous pressure to bear on the American 1 commissioners to urge them to recommend to President Wilson that he propose to the entente that America accept an unconditional mandate for Turkey. , S.

(Ooprrilt. 1919. by Chieaeo DaQy Mwa Co.) - Vladivostok, Siberia, - Aug, 22. Amer ica's policy of neutrality has failed com pletely. It has brought bullets from the Bolshevik! and 111 will from others. Now it is being abandoned here Americans no longer waft to be shot at, but go after the enemy nally to - prevent hul "ganging up." The Bolshevikl have ac complished their purpose in Suchan, as no coal can leave there for Vladivostok on the railways, and the prospect la that starvation .'will face the neighborhood next winter. One Bed Cross train, is held at Pogranltzaya because of an at tack on the town by Chinese bandits, and another Red Cross train is blocked in the Manchurian desert. . The Red Cross, women have evacuated Omsk and the entire Red Cross personnel has left Chelyabinsk. The fate of the children's colony ln the Urals Is unknown. Russian resistance Is stiffening In the west, probably because the reserves are being used according to plan. The Bol shevikl are -reported to be evacuating Chelyabinsk and there are signs of a Russian offensive as far as Ekaterinburg. BONES OF PATRON SAINT MID Keeper of Westminster Abbey.

So-called stomach troubles, such as in digestion, gas, sourneas, stomach-ache and Inability to retain food are in prob ably nine cases out of ten, simply evi dence that excexaive secretion of acid ii taking place in the titomach. causing- the formation of gas and acid Indigestion. .Gas distends the stomach and cauie that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflame the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely In the excess development or se cretion of acid. To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neu tralize the acid, and make it bland and harmless, a teanpoonful of biaurated magnesia, a good and effective corrector of add stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after eating or whenever gas. sourness or acidity Is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralises the acidity In a few moments and is a perfectly harm less and inexpensive remedy to use. An antiacid, such as biaurated magne sia which can be obtained from any druggist In either powder or tablet form enables the stomach to do Its work prop erly without the aid of artificial di- featents. Magnesia comes in several orms, so be certain to ask for and take only Blsurated Magnesia, which Is eepe cially prepared for the above purpose. Adv. . .
