The President was said to ve stated that it was neces ry that the United States and to the support of the ceclio-Slovaks ,thc Jugo.Slavs, iland and other weak and niggling peoples made free as e result of the great war. The President was said to have >1 the senators and representatives at the league constitution adopted is proposed by Great Britain, but is not the one drawn by General nits, one of the British autliori s on the league proposal.

TOMACH TROUBLES RE DUE TO ACIDITY ells Safe, Certain, Speedy Re lief For Acid Indigestion So-called stomach troubles, such i indigestion, gas, sourness, stom :h-acho and inability to retain food -e in probably nine cases out of ten, mply evidence that excessive se ction of acid is taking place in the omach, causing the formation of gas id acid indigestion. (.las distends the stomach and causes lat full, oppressive, burning feel is sometimes known as heartburn, iiile the acid irritates and inflames le delicate lining of the stomach, lie trouble lies entirely in the ex •ss development or secretion of acid. To stop or prevent this souring of le loud contents of the stomach and ■ neutralize the acid, and make it and and harmless, a teaspoonful of isuraled magnesia, a good and effec vt corrector of acid stomach, should i taken in a quarter of a glass of ot or cold water after eating or henever gas, sourness or acidity is :lt. This sweetens the stomach and •utralizes the acidity in a few mo lents and is a perfectly harmless and [expensive remedy to use. An antiacid, such as blsurated niag i-sia which can be obtained from any ruggist in either powder or tablet irin enables the stomach to do its ork properly without the aid of ar ticial digestenls. Magnesia comes i several forms, so be certain to ask >r and take only Blsurated Mag esia, which is especially prepared for le above purpose. G. A. Gorgas.

WEDNESDAY EVE told his guests that there could be no concert of nations to safeguard against war unless each was willing to make some conces sions. Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut, Republican, took the lead in ques tioning the President. Senators Lodge and Knox contented them selves largely with listening to the discussion. No secrecy was imposed on the visitors, the President at the outset emphasizing that they were free to discuss afterwards, what transpired. The President was saiil to linvo declared that America was free to withdruw from the league at any time; tluit the Monroe Doctrine was not contravened because all signa tory nations would be obliged to up hold it; and that recommendations of tiie executive council for world disarmament could not become ef fective until cacti nation hud approv ed them and thus had been given n voice in the apportionment of such armament. The strength of the league would rest on the friendship of America, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan, the President said, and he expressed the opinion that serious trouble between these live nations was "unthinkable." Should one of these withdraw from the league or in any way fail to support it, im potence of the league might result. Accounts of both Democratic and Republican members of the com mittees who discussed the confer ence varied only in very minor de tails. "The President felt that if the league is not ratified," said Chair man Hitchcock, "there will be des pair throughout the world because of failure in the effort to secure permanent peace. Serious complica tion, the President felt might result at an early date from failure of the league. The league is already in use, the President stated, through the reference of the questions on various subjects which have been referred to international commissions." Good Will Needed On the question of possible inter ference by the league with interna tional domestic questions, such as immigration tho President told the Senators he did not regard such questions as being within the pur view or jurisdiction of the league. Success of the league, the President was said to feel, rests on the good will and good faith of tho nations and not upon their potential power. Upon the moral foiee of the world the decrees of the league would de pend, the President explained. He expressed the opinion that if Ger many had considered a week, or if she had known England would en ter the war, the great conflict would not have occurred. In the discussion of the composi tion of the league and executive council, the Mexican and Japanese problems with which the United States is concerned, were reported to have been freely used as illustrations. In this connection it was said that the President rejected the argument that American immigration would be a question determinable by the league. Denies British Power Questions regarding Great Brit ain's five votes in the league and the possibility of the British empire ac quiring more than one vote in the executive' council, elicited the state ment from the President that such a possibility was very remote, as the four votes in tho league outside of the five great powers were demand ed by the smaller nations and that election would be made by the forty or fifty nations comprised in the league. The President was said to have given no indication as to his opinion regarding when the peace treaty could be concluded, nor did he dis cuss his plans for the return trip to France, other than to reiterate that lie would leave Washington Imme diately after Congress adjourned. Wilson Answers Questions The dinner and discussion follow ing in the east room were said to have been marked by the greatest cordiality and frankness. The Presi dent frequently was interrupted at his own request by questions. At the outset he said too much importance had been attached to his suggestion to defer debate in Congress and de clared bis intention was merely to explain fully questions of construc tion to those desiring to hear them. He then gave a description of the intricate methods of bringing to gether the representatives of all na tions for the formation of a league and declared he had found practical ly a universal demand in Europe fo r a league of nations. He said the peo ple there had suffered so tremen dously from the war. that they were determined the old system must cease and some concert of nations formed to end war. Permits Discussion According to one of the Demo crats. Senator Brandegee said to the President: "Mr. President. This league ot nations will not prevent war." "It will not," said the President. "Nothing will prevent war, but it will bring about a discussion before the beginning of a war. If there had been one week's discussion before the beginning of the European war it would not have occurred." One Senator pressed inquiries re lating to the Irish question, and the President was said to have answer ed that Ireland would have no vote in the league "at present," and that the Irish question was one for later solution between Ireland and Eng land. During the discussion, the Presi j dent also indirectly repeated his dec laration. made in his Boston speech, that the organization of the league would tend to stop the spread of Bolshevism. After the conference. Chairman Flood, of the House committee, made this statement: "I am heartily in favor of a league of nations and since talking with the President T am heartly in favor of the constitution presented. I see nothing in it that affects the sover eignty of this country, or the right to control its internal affairs or weaken the Monroe doctrine. I be lieve that the people are overwhelm ingly in favor of a league of nations in this country and abroad. It is the only hope of an enduring peace." The Senators and ltepresentatlves ' were received by the President and Mrs. Wilson in the East room, pro ceeded informally to the state din ing room. Senator Lodge escorting Mrs. Wilson. There they were sent ed at a table decorated with pink roses and maidenhair fern, the Pres- ING, ident in the center ot one side, with Chairman Hitchcock, of the Senate committee, on his right and Chair man Flood, of the ilouse commit tee, on his left. Across the table was Mrs. Wilson, with the two ranking minority members. Senator Lodge and Representative Cooper, on her right and left respectively. After the dinner the gentlemen re turned to the East room, lighted their cigars and conversed informal ly for ten minutes, after which chairs were drawn into an irregular oval, President Wilson at one end, and discussion of tho league started. It was commented upon that the President touched first upon a "deli cate" subject, as it was termed, his request that debate be deferred until he could explain the constitution, article by article. After that he re j quested that questions be asked to [ clarify points on which there I seemed to be doubt and the discus sion proceeded with great frank ness.

October 11, 1918.
