PROBABLE TODAY
Passage Seems Sure After
Several Hours* Debate
Last Night
Feb. 12. —Final ac
tion by congress to-day on the six
billion dollar war revenue bill ap
pears assured after several hou"rs of
debate last night in the Senate on
the conferees' agreement, which
the House adopted last Saturday.
After some difficulties . and delay
in taking up the bill yesterday,
Chairman Simmfnls, f the Senate
managers, addressed the Senate for
aboift two hours on the conference
report, while Senator Thomas, of
Colorado, Democrat, sharply criti
cised elimination of his amendment
to tax campaign contributions of
$5OO or more 100 per cent. Several
senators plan to speak to-morrow,
but both Democratic and Republi
can leaders predicted to-night that
an overwhelming vote of a)'x>roval
would bo given before adjoitt rnient
to-morrow. Senator Simmo tv said
that if necessary a night session
would be held.
At the outset yesterday. Republi
cans delayed action on the bill, de
manding that the lengthy formal
conference report be read. Repub
lican Leader Jx>dge and Senators
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and
France, of Maryland, insisted that
this formality be followed.
"Cascarets for Mother's Pets"
Carefui mothers know that Cascarets in the home
mean less sickness, less trouble, less worry, less cost.
When one of the kiddies has a white tongue, feverish
breath, sour stomach or a cold, a Cascaret quickly
and harmlessly "works" the poisons from the liver
and bowels and all is well again—only 10 cents a box.
vv
TO MOTHERS! While all children detest castor oil, calomel,
pills and laxatives, they really love to take Cascarets because they
taste like candy. Cascarets "work" the nasty bile, sour fermenta
tions and constipation poison from the child's tender stomach, liver
and bowels without pain or griping. Cascarets never disappoint the
worried mother. Each ten cent box contains directions for children
iged one year old and upwards. ,

WEDNESDAY EVENING
UNFOLDS STORY
OF CHAOS UNDER
BOLSHEVIK RULE
Former Attache of American
Embassy in Petrograd
Before Senate
Washington, Feb. 12.—A story of
economic chaos, oppression and
tyranny in Russia under the Bolshe
vik rule was unfolded yesterday be
fore the Senate judiciary sub-com
mittee at the beginning of its inquiry
into Bolshevik, I. W. W. and other
propaganda in the United States.
The witness was Dr. William C.
Huntington, former commercial at
tache of the American embassy in
Petrograd, who related in detail his
experiences before being compelled
by intolerable conditions to leave
Russia last fall.
Professor Samuel N. Harper, of
the University of Chicago* a student
of Russian affairs, also was before
the committee, explaining the de
velopment of the Bolshevik theory
of government. He said there had
been much misrepresentation of
Russia in the American press, but
declared enough evidence had come
through to demonstrate that Bolshe
vism had been a failure in most
ways.
Only a small part of the hearing
to-day was devoted to Bolshevik
propaganda in this country. Dr.
Huntington said the Bolshevik
leaders constantly endeavored to
spread their doctrine through other
countries and that he had seen a
few evidences of these efforts in the
United States.

Shalfer's Last
Flight
(Continued From Yesterday)
After two attempts wa finally got
a note to the outside world, meaning
outside the hospital door. At least,
one of them must have arrived, be
cause several days later the door
to our ward opened and in wallted
three girls. Mighty pretty, they
were, too—and me sitting up in bed
with nothing on but a night shirt.
I had. I had no other clothes, be
cause the Boche had takcri my blue
uniform to be disinfected. How I did
wish for it then, but the ladies didn't
give me much time for meditation,
for the prettiest one spoke to me al
most at once, and what was more
surprising in English. "You're the
American aviator, aren't you?" said
she. "Yes," said I, looking up from
the book* I was reading with much
surprise, "but how did you know it?
There are other men in the roonv"
"Oh," said she, you look different."
And that is as close as I ever came
to finding out what the distinguish
ing marks were about an American.
And yet, the fact remains that al
though there were some twenty men
in that room, Bochc, French and
Kngllsh, she picked me out Immedi
ately as "the American." That she
knew I was there at all does not
seem strange, for the Boche could
not help crowing about the capture
of an American, and an aviator to
I boot.
Everywhere I went it was that
way. The fact was well advertised
and furnished endless speculation for
the Boche. Being an aviator and an
American was combination enough,
but wearing the uniform of the
French was a little beyond their
comprehension. * They couldn't get
that at all. Anyway, the young lady
did not waste all her time on sym
pathy, but supplied my material
wants also, giving me grapes, bacon
and crackers.
I did not like the bacon and my
teeth were not strong enough to bite
the crackers! but the grapes were
bigger and better tasted thaai any
that ever came out of California, so
1 gave my Share of bacon and grapes
to the Frenchman for grapes. The
girls did not know it, but just'look
ing at them did me more good than
any of their eatablo gifts, for its
lucky indeed, for a prisoner of war
if he ever sees a woman, let alone
talk to one. These girls also brought
some more English magazines for
me. That they were some ten years
old was a small matter. It was
something to while away the time,
which was beginning to hang heavy
on my hands. And just to show that
women are not the only vain crea
tures on the earth, no sooner had
the girls left than I began making
inquiries as to where my clothes
had gone to and what the chances
were of getting them back.
Hints Dropped
This took a couple of days and
during that time the three girls
made me another visit, this time
bringing more eatablef things—for
me, at least. Oh yes, they brought
gifts to the other sick prisoners, also.
But my sweet tooth still predom
inated and I dropped hints quite
generously as this weakness, and
did it to such good effect that cakes
and honey sandwiches came my way
during that second visit. It was a
little blonde that saw to this, for
for which I duly thanked her. No, she
could not speak English, but I could
scratch up enough French on occa
sions to make myself understood.
No sooner had the girls.left than
the Boche Interpreter came around
and asked me if I would be kind
enough to go downstairs and visit
an English prisoner who was very,
very ill. Not only was he sick but
so lonesome he was ready to give
up, as there was no one in the room
to whom he could talk. I gladly
looked him up, happy to know that
a little pow-wow on my part might
cheer anyone up. And he certainly
needed cheering, for he had been
treated as cruelly as it was possible
to, treat a man without killing him.
In fact,' two of his comrades who
were with him died on the way to
the hospital. As for him, he was so
weak he could hardly speak above
a whisper, but that did not prevent
him from telling me his story. His
trouble must have gone to his head
for he would talk of nothing else.
Knowing this was bad forPhim in
his condition I tried to side track
him on to other subjects; how close
peace was! how pretty the girls
were who had visited us in the morn-
and so on. but there was noth
ing doing. He would talk of his
sufferings. So I finally gave up and
let him get it out'of his system.
It was Just another of those stories
of Boche cruelty and neglect which
I was dally ..hearing from many
sources. In fact, I was getting sort
of fed up on the sad end of the war,
for with everyone I talked came
stories of the inhuman conduct of
the Boche. I didn't need any more
confirmation of this fact, for it was
all around me. but the tale this hag
gard wreck of an English soldier
told me was about the limit.
He with two of his comrades had
suddenly been taken very sick, so
sick that the authorities in their,
camp deemed it advisable to send
them to a hospital. That's pretty
sick, believe me, but it did not get
them any better accommodations
than the healthy prisoners, for with
a number of other sick prisoners
they were all piled into a box car,
the door closed and locked and away
.they Went. The journey took three
days, and during that time they
were given hot coffee twice. That
was all! Nothing else whatever! Do
you wonder two of them died as
soon as they reached the hospital?
It was this that was preying on this
soldier's mind, for the three of them
had been carried in the night before
and laid in adjoining beds. The
next morning he was the only live
one of the three—a stranger in a
strange, strange land! sick unto
death; a prisoner at the mercy of his
enemies, and with his two best pals I
lying stiff and cold on either side of*
him. Is it any wonder he was near
ly ready, to give up the ghost? How
ever, talking to me helped him some
even if I did nothing but listen; for
when I left he 'declared he wouldn't
die now just to spite the Boche. "By
golly!" said he, with as much ve
hemance as he could muster In his
feeble state, "they didn't get mo
with a bullet and they won't get
me tnls way." With that J left him
promising to call again soon.
' The Armistice Signed
Next day when the papers arrived
for the Boche, we noted a lot of
suppressed excitement as they read,
and guessed Immediately that the
lone-talked of armistice had been
signed. Later in the day our guess
wan verified when we asked the Eng
lish-speaking Boche about it. The
same afternoon the three Belgian
"chickens" arrived again bringing
get my clothes and you can- believe
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH!
good things as usual. Incidentally, I
my particular blonde did not foiget
iny honey sandwiches. They also
confirmed the rumor that "la guerre
est fine." That Being the case, I
saw nothing to prevent me from
getting my effects together and
heading towards Paris, and I began j
making arrangements accordingly.
First, though, I had to get my I
clothes, so calling "Gretchen." the i
Boche nurse, as she passed by on her '
way through the ward, I made her,
understand by signs and some French I
what I wanted. Honestly, if 1 stay
in these foreign countries -much
longer I'll beat a ■ deaf and dumb
man at his own game. I certainly 1
get enough practice anyway.
But to come back to the Boche
nurse, she told me where to go to
■e that I wasted no time hunting
them up. What was my disappoint
ment then when, alt dressed up In
blue coat, silver buttons. Boche shoes
and everything, a Boone comes
around and tells me I dare not go
out. It sure was a blow because I
lied looked forward so much to see
ing all the pretty shops again, and
seeing the pretty women passing on
the street. ''Anyway," I consoled
myself. "I'll get out to-morrow."
And I did too.

The Troubles Women Have
BY L. MAC LEAN, M. D.
Probably no man in America was
ev.er better qualified to successfully
treat the diseases peculiar to women
than Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.
The cases that come to him run into
many thousands, giving him an ex
perience that rarely comes to any
one man/ Dr. Pierce found that in
nearly every case there were certain
vegetable growths wlifch rarely fail
ed to give prompt relief in those
I femnine disorders from which so
many women suffer. He combined
these roots and heibs into a tem
perance medicine that he called' Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for
that is precisely what it was. This
me&icine is sold in both liquid tablet
■ for mby druggists everywhere. Fa
vorite Prescription is a distinct rem
edy for women and acts directly
upon the organs that characterize i
the sex. It is not necesary to take
a long course of treatment with this
I standard medicine. A weakly, sickly,
headachy, nervous, des
pondent .woman, with regular or ir
regular pains—with feminine disor
ders that pome in youth or middle
age—is prety sure to find in Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription the
exact remedy that her condition calls
for, and to find it after a very few
doses are taken. Why women should
allow themselves to stay sick when a
very little money spent for this rem
edy will probably make them well,
is something no one can explain.
All women who suffer from femi
nine disorders are invited tb write

I Special war conditions, the pre

afforestation.
Lloyd George said there
would bo plenty of opportunities of
