WOMAN'S NEIGHBOR
Mrs. Lizzie Stegmeier, 6504 Chew
street, Philadelphia, gives credit to
a neighbor for advising her to try
Tanlac. "I suffered from lumbago,
and had a good deal of pain. I
could hardly walk straight and
nothing seemed to make me feel
better. Mrs. Young, who lives near
me. spoke strongly for Tanlac. I
consider it my best investment. Now
I have the health and no more
lameness or pain in the back. My
daughter's children are taking Tan
lac and are growing into line speci
mens."
The genuine J. I. Gore Co. Tan
lac is sold here by Gorgas', George's,
Kramer's and Steever's, and other
leading druggists in every com
munity.

MONDAY EVENING,
CHINESE PAPER
1; PRINTED BY "Y"
■ Aids in the Movement of
_
the rorces
Overseas
lj Ihirls, April 14.—One more jour-j
j lialistic by-product of this war is a
: Chinese newspaper, with a paid j
j circulation of almost two thousand. I
i edited under the auspecles of the I
jY. M. C. A. Educational Depart-|
nient by Y. G. James Yen, who j
j worked for sometime with the i
I Chinese laborers at Boulogne,
j This paper which is rather extra- j
' ordinary for several reasons aside i
' from the fact that it is the first
| paper to be printed in Chinese in,
• France, before or during the war. ;
imakes it possible for the 150,000 j
| Chinese laborers working with the!
] French, British and American !
forces to get the news of the world, j
Heretofore they have had to de- <
I pend for news upon the hearsay j
i knowledge of some Englisli-speak- j
, ing Chinese, or upon the kindness j
• of some Chinese Y. M. O. A. secre
' tary. who might take special pains j
{to- detail to them the day's news. I
I But now in a four page sheet, com- ]
| prehensive because of the sugges-i
1 tive content of the Chinese written i
I characters, the Chinese workman
can get once a week all the news j
.the peace conference. European:
[and American, and the last word, j
' political and general, in China.
Outgrowth of Bulletin
Three weeks ago. ten thousand
I copies of the first issue of this pa
j per. "The Red Triangle for Chinese
laborers residing in France," as it
; is called, were taken up so quickly j
and eagerly by the Chinese that the I
j number has now been increased
i fifty per cent.
I This paper is the outgrowth of a
small, weekly bulletin which Mr.
Yen, who came to France as a sec- •
retary with the Y. M. C. A. in July, j
first began to publish last fall at \
Boulogne, where he was in charge j
of a hut established for the Chinese j
laborers.
The really extraordinary thing 1
about this paper, something which j
the Anglo-Saxon eye could never
get without aid from a Chinese read- ,
er, is that it is the first paper of its j
kind to be printed in unofficial un- ;
literary Mandarin.
Most of Chinese literature and all j
| written Chinese for that matter, is •
| written in what the Chinese call i
] Wen-li-the old classical written lan- |
I guage. packed with archaic illusions, i
sterotyped in certain old set forms :
j and phrases, indirect and antique.
Mardarin. on the other hand, the I
j spoken language of the greater parti
I of China, is a living and conversa- ]
j tional thing: in this medium, in 1
' direct contradiction of all practice \
land tradition, the Y. M. C. A. man;
has printed his paper.
Therefore in the four pages of !
Chinese picture-like script which go i
out each week from the offices at 76 :
rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore, i
there is compressed by Mr. Yen a
1 digest of the week's news. On th
; first page in addition, he runs per- |
j haps five hundred words of editorial
j explanation of the paper's policy, or '
i some generally interesting subject.
Five hundred words in Chinese !
i characters, it may be remarked, oc- J
eupies about three square inches of
space. The editorial was followed in
I a recent number by a short article i
on China —which would interest the
working Chinese; and on the last •
and inner pages, reports from the i
peace conference. iMtffS'Aki&kjh'lki

I and Hisco arrived here yesterday t
; from France bringing 3.309 officers

I proved, enroute to bo Mile Alexan- |
dria Boyer, of Marseilles, bride-elect j
of Michael Black, of Muncie, Ind., ;
' a first class boatswain's mate.
Mile. Boyer traveled incognito for
the first two days until, according to
' soldiers on the Luckenbach, she be- i
! came seasick and so pale that her 1
heavy coating of burnt cork failed
; longer to deceive the boat's officers, i
, She made the rest of the trip in the !
isolation ward and was turned over 1
i to the immigration officers on her
■ arrival.
Her fiancee, who arrived in the .
j "brig" asserts the marriage, which I
| was blocked in France by lack of |
' time to go through the French "red |
J tape," will be solemnized as soon as
ihe can persuade Immigration offi
! cials to release her and naval au
! thorities to release him.
'! In addition to Mile. Boyer. the

High Turk Officer
Is Publicly Hanged
For His Massacres
Constantinople. April 14.—Kemal
I Bey. governor of Diarbeka has been ;
! publicly hanged in Rayazid square
1 in Stamboul in the presence of the
military governor of Constantinople
I and other high officials. Kemal Bey
: was sentenced to death as one of
| those responsible for the Armenian
j deportations and massacres in the
' Yozghad district. The former com
! tnander of the Gendarmerie in Yoz
| ghad was sentenced to fifteen years
I imprisonment in the fortress.
These sentences were confirmed
by an imperial irade.
The trial of those responsible for
the Armenian massacres by the
Turks began early in February at
Constantinople. The prosecutor de
clared that it was necessary to pun
ish the authors of the massacres,
which had filled the whole world
with a feeling of horror.
Kemal Bey was former Turkish
Minister of food.

RAILROADS TO GET
FUNDS FOR MAY
Conference of Bankers With
Washington Assures Con
tinuance of Plan
Washington, April 11. —Much of the
pessimism as to troublesome times j
ahead in providing money for im- i
mediate needs of the Railroad Admin- 1
titration, is dissipated by an an- '
t ouncement by Director General of I
Railroad Walker D. Hines, following
a conference with railroad exeeu- j
tives and bankers, to the effect that
the May 1 requirements of the roads
would be met through the issuance j
of Government certificates of indebt- ;
edness and that the financial insti- j
unions were satisfied that the money j
could be provided in this manner !
without causing anything like a
serious disturbance ov the eve of the
launching of the Victory l.oan cam
paign.
This solution of the problem as- t
sures the funds necessary for meet- ;
ing interest charges and dividends of j
May 1 as well as other pressing obli- j
gations of the railroads. According ■
to railroad experts approximately j
$100,000,000 will be needed by May 1, j
of which sum $60,000,000 must be In j
cash. The additional $10,000,000
v hich makes up the total of $100,000,-
000 will be covered, probably, by the j
extension of maturities, a step which, ,
it is understood, may be taken with- .
out harmful results.
As far as could be learned, the de- j
finite program adopted at this con-

ELARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
|t ference did not look forward to nteei
j ing requirements after May 1, this
| matter being left open for the time
being. It was reported that the gcn
f oral feeling among the conferees was
that President Wilson would call
| Congress into special session between
I May 1 and May 15 and urge upon it
• the necessity of taking up the prob
| lems of the Kailroad Administration
without a moment's unnecessary Ue
! lay.
There seemed to be general agree
ment that, should such a develop
* ment come about, the general situa
tion would be eased up in all direc
! tions. and that with the assurance
j that Congress was preparing to cx
tend aid within a resonably short
! time. an.actual crisis could be avoid
: ed, even though money would have
to be raised from other sources than
i by Congressional action by June 1.

Due to Jap Policy,
Declare Representatives
Philadelphia. April 14. Massa
cres reported in Korea were charac
terized as "part of the Japanese
policy of military repression and in- j
Justice" by Korean officials who I

the three days' Korean congress, I
which begins here to-day.
The officials are Dr. Syngman j

Inland Waterways
Should Be Operated
With R. R's., Hines Says
Washington, April 14. lnland
waterway transportation of the
Vnited States should be co-ordinated
more closely with the railway sys
tem, and the relationship of rates
adjusted in proportion to the coast
and desirablity of service, said Di
rector General Hines in a letter to
Senator Fletcher and a group of sen
ators and representatives interested
in waterways. The letter was in
answer to inquiries from the mem
bers of Congress as to the railroad
administration's attitude toward wa
; terways, and explained in detail past
accomplishments and future plans.
