Lane, sfecre tary of the interior*, in an address Mete to-day before the Merchants' "We are Ready for Duty on the Play Line, Mother ,J TO MOTHERS! Keep your little pets physically fit, amiling, feeling their best always, by' giving Cascarets, the candy cathartic, occasionally. Children love to take Cascarets. They are sweet candy-like tablets, but just wonderful to correct the little white tongue, feverish breath, sour stomach and colds. Casdarets gently "work" the bile, sour fer mentations and poisons from a child's tender stomach, liver and bowels without griping or injury. Mothers who depend upon Cascarets as the children's laxative save trouble, worry and cost. Each 10 cent box of Cascarets contains directions and dose for kiddies aged one year old and upwards. ■ Compare the I' ( \'■ Prices Of Our : '1 I - I, 1 Dollars j P The greatly reduced prices at which GOLDSMITH RUGS are now p, ||> being sold are prices that will not prevail again for a long time to come. 1| M GOLDSMITH RUGS are far from the ordinary varieties —the styles ~ Eg 1 and the qualities are better, while the colorful and artistic designs are M H most unusual.

Its basis, he asserted, will be "international co-operation." Mr. Lane's address previously wus advertised by the association as being an answer to the question "what is it that President Wilson has gene to Paris to bring about? How will it preserve peace and help humanity." Mr. Lane explained how through the formation of a league of na tions quarrels between nations could be adjudicated by "an international court," following investigation of the case by "an international coun cil of mediation;" how a "delin quent" nation could be "encom passed by a circle of iron," com pletely shutting off its economic life and isolating it from the rest of the world; how, if this failed, the mem bers of the league of nation could as a last resort turn to war. The speaker declared President Wilson had gone to Europe "as a representative of an ideal of the statesmen of many centuries" and he recounted the struggle for de mocracy from ancient to modern times. He said the time seemed propitious for this association of na tions, that when the war ended tt was costing the United States 360.- 000,000 a day." The time has come "to master continents intensively for the good of man," he added. 408 U. S. Steam Vessels Affected by Release Washington, Jan. 17.

HARRISBXJRG QgSjSftS TELEGRAPH POSTPONE ACTION ON ARMY PLAN, CONFEREES AGREE Reorganization Bill Will Go Over Until Next Session of Congress By Associated Prest Washington, Jan. I?.—The House military committee virtually has reached an agreement with Secretary Baker and General March, chlef-of staff, to postpone the War Depart ment ' reorganization bill until the next session of Congress and with it a large part Of the prospective debate over the future military pol icy of the'country. A suggestion yesterday by Chair man Dent that a legislative rider on the army appropriation bill contin uing the existing war organization of the department and the regular J army for another year, be substituted j for the reorganization measure, met | with the approval of Mr. Baker and | apparently with that of 41 majority I of the committee members. The proposal grew out of a con ference at which Secretary Baker and the chief-of-staft explained to the committee the reorganization measure framed by the department, providing for a regular army of 500,. I 000 men to be raised by voluntary enlistment on a flat three-year basis. The bill also would have made per manent the absolute control over all branches of the army now 'exercised by the chief-of-staff as a wartime necessity. Impossible This Session Chairman Dent said it would be impossible to get such a bill through Congress in the six weeks remaining of the session. Committee members agreed with him, pointing out that the War Department bill on its face appeared to be a military policy measure which abandoned the theory of universal military obligation. Mr. Baker insisted that this was not the case; that no attempt to fix the na tion's policy as to a peace time army was involved, but agreed that the substitution of continuing authority appeared to be the wisest course in view of uncertainties of the situa tion abroad and lack of time for full discussion in Congress. Plan of glider Unknown The exact form of a rider is to be studied out by the general staff. It probably will leave the strength of the force to Presidential order with in limits and subect to appropria i tion limitations. The committee will I take up at once hearings on the reg | ular appropriation bill which pro : vijies as drawn for 500,050 men. Secretary Baker would make no declaration in regard to universal military service suggestions, saying he would submit no proposal of that nature until the peace conference had finished its work and the obliga tions of the nation could be guaged. General March said the army now was organized under Presidential or der and the plan included in the staff bill was practically that organlza (tlon. A total strength of 509.000 men is provided for, he said, to be organ ized into twenty divisions grouped in five corps. The total annual cost he fixec". at $1,185,000,000, estimated on a return to a base pay of sls a | month for privates and exclusive of $86,000,000 carried in the fortifica tions bill. All of the existing wartime organ izations such as the tank corps, transportation and motor transpor tation corps, independent air service and the like are to be continued, with the exception of the chemical warfare service. Germans Threaten to Take provisions of Poles in Prussia By Associated Press London, Jan. 17. — The Germans have determined to seize all pro visions in the hands of the Poles in Prussia, if the Polish provinces of Germany are to be restored to Po land, according to reports from an authoritative source published in the newspapers to-day. If Germany can keep these Polish provinces. Chan cellor Ebert has declared, she can increase her influence to the south and east and one day reconquer in the west what she has now lost. This assertion was made by the chancellor at a secret meeting of all parties, at which he also stated that Germany will reconquer the west through the east. If, on the other hand, Germany shoyld lose the Polish provinces, the rebirth of po litical power through pacific efforts at expansion to the east would be impossible.
