Doctor Issues Warning

Stop Tobacco Habit
TREATMENT CAN BE GIVEN SECRETLY
HERE IS HIS PRESCRIPTION
Sew York —Doctor Connor, former

am often asked If I know of anything
to stop the tobacco habit which can
be. given secretly, and I always rec
ommend a formula which I have fre
quently prescribed with great suc
cess. Here it is: Go to any up-to-date
drug store and get fourteen Nicotol
Powders. Put one powder twice a day
in tea, coffee, milk or food, in a short
time all desire and craving for to
bacco will disappear, and the victim
will believe he has stopped its use of
his own accord. These powders are
colorless, odorless, tasteless—there

no habit-forming drugs, are absolute

who try them. The use of tobacco

of preparation for world conquest
by Germany is to be left.
Measures have been formulated
even to stamp out the military spirit
bred so carefully in the people. Un
der the treaty any enterprise aiming
at a military propaganda is forbid
den and military education cannot
be carried on except in the ranks
of the army of 100.000. Such an
army pannot perpetuate itself in
any way or expand through turning
trained men back to civil life as an
unorganized reserve.
Escapes Dismemberment
Escaping actual dismemberment,
Germany, nevertheless, is effaced as
one of the great powers of the old
world and is placed under a sort of
Allied and American guardianship
for generations to come.
Many tedious and vexing problems
excluded from the treaty of peace at
this time are left to the determina
tion of the League of Nations, In
which the responsibilities and en
gagements of the United States are
enlarged.
The whole administration of the
peace virtually is life dependent upon
the League of Nations, and thus the
President has defeated—if such was
his purpose—the threat of Republi
cans senators absolutely to divorce
consideration of the League of Na
tions from the treaty of peace dur
ing the ratification process in the
upper branch of Congress.
The most important engagement
undertaken by the United States in
the treaty is to become the leading
member of the reparation commis
sion, a commission clothed with un
limitd powers, and it is the common
belief in Washington that it will
dominate the affairs of Europe, fi
nancially, economically and indus
trially, for at least the next three
decades.
If Germany accepts the treaty, this
commission, having its headquarters
in Paris, will assume virtual control
over Germany.
bition of the slave who is enthralled
by its seductive effects. It undermines
the health and leaves the victim an
easy prey to general debility, throat
and lung troubles, nervousness, in
somnia, heart trouble, kidney trouble,
headache, tongue and lip cancers, and
even blindness. Physicians the world
over often trace the start of the above
diseases and many others to nicotine
poisoning. If you have a friend or
relative whom you would like to see
cured, it is your duty to help him get
rid of the habit without delay. Try
the above formula on him and you
will he surprised at the rapidity with
which it does the work. Remember,
there are no bad after effects."

BOY SCOUTS GET
POLICE THANKS
FOR GOOD WORK
Lads Kept Streets Open Dur
ing Parade of Keystone
Veterans
Boy Scouts numbering 650 yesterday
gave an exhibition of their training and
discipline that seemed remarkable even
to friends of the organization which
have followed the development of the
boys under expert guidance. The
Scouts were employed effectively by
the police in keeping the crows back
during the parade of the returning sol
diers and it was remarked that only
where the Scouts were so employed
were the traffic officers able to keep the
streets clear for the marchers.
The boys formed a. living chain with

locked hands and arms in Market
street from above Fourth to the sub
way entrance. They kept clear the
difficult points at Fourth street and at
the entrance to the Pennsylvania sta
tion.
Police Chief Wetzel and Police Cap
tain Thompson to-day expressed their
thanks to the boys. The lads are co
operating with the police department,
which fact was Impressed upon one
man who struck a boy. The Scouts
were keeping the crows back from the
automobiles bearing wounded veter
ans when the rowdy struck him. An
other boy was struck in the face at the
subway entrance by a ruffian who want
ed to push through the lines into the
street. The boys, however, did not lose
their heads in the excitement.
Traffic officers were glad to make
use of the boys' services at several
crossings. At Fourth and Chestnut
streets one lad directed traffic for half
an hour. They rendered valuable as
sistance at a score of points.
TENSE MOMENTS
AT VERSAILLES
SESSION
Huns Enter Chamber With
Air of Victors; No Oral
Discussion Permitted
By Associated Press,
Versailles, May B.—The scene at
yesterday's session of the Peace Con
gress when the terms of the treaty
were presented to tho German dele
gates was impressive, and had Its
tense momenta In fact the entire
half hour during which Count Von
Brockdorft-Rantxau delivered his re
ply to Premier Clemenceau was a
period of tenseness for virtually
everyone present
Germans Interpret Pnet
The speech was translated sen
tence by sentence by the German in
terpreters who did not fall to bring
out with full emphasis every sharp
phrase in it. President Wilson and
Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd
George put their heads together in
evident anger at more than one of
the German spokesman's cutting ut
terances, as If they were deliberat
ing upon the advisability of an im
mediate answer.
The program was unaltered, how
ever, and when the German plenipo
tentiary had finished Premier Cle
menceau arose and put the custo
mary phrase:
"Has anyone further observations
to make?" and when there was no
response continued:
"I then declare the session closed."
The allied triumvirate remained
after the German delegates had left,
for a half hour discussion of the new
situation.
Pomp and Glitter Absent
The scene within the hall during
the ceremony had none of the pomp
and glitter of earlier peace confer
ences. It seemed to gain in im
pressiveness, however, by the lack
of display.
At the head of the table the strik
ing faces of Premiers Clemenceau
and Lloyd George and President Wil
son attracted every eye. Marshal
Foch, sitting with the French dele
gation at the head of one of the
side tables was another conspicuous
figure. The bearded faces of the
Serbian statesman, M. Pachitch, and
the Greek premier, M. Venizelos, as
well as the familiar head of Ignace
Jan Paderewski, the Polish premier,
also stood out from the mass of dele
gates. The impressive faces of the
Japanese representatives, the Orien
tal lineaments of the Chinese, the
brown countenances of the Arabs
from Hedjas, and the presence of the
two delegates from Liberia and Hati
gave evidence that this was really a
world congress. .
The Germans, who entered the
chamber with all the air of victors,
bore themselves without a trace of
nervousness and acted as if they
were taking part in the deliberations
on equal terms with their adversar
ies. They were preceded by a func
tionary of the French government,
who loudly announced:
"Messteures, the German dele
gates."
Count Von Brockdorff-Rantzau
took the center chair, with his five
colleagues and Director Von Stock
hammer of the foreign office, flank
ing him on either hand. Five Ger
man secretaries and their interpre
ters took their places at tables in the
rear.
Clemenceau Opens Session
Premier Clemenceau, as president
of the congress, then arose and de
clared the session opened. He start
ed immediately upon his opening
speech, pausing to permit this to be
translated into English and German
by French interpreters. The trans
lation into the German was decided
ly faulty and halting. The premier
then addressed the Germans again
to explain the conditions of the nego
tiations, telling them that no oral
discussion would be permitted and
that they must submit their obser
vations in writing within fifteen days.
He then read the headings of the
treaty and made his suggestion that
the Germans with a few days might
be ready to commence the discussion
of certain sections of the treaty.
When the premier concluded with
the customary phrase, "has anyone
observations to make?" Count Von
Brockdorff-Rantzau raised his hand,
but he was not recognized until the
premier's remarks had been trans
lated.
During the translation, Paul Dut
asta, the general secretary of the
assemblage, proceeded almost un
noticed across the open space in the
center of the rectangle and deposited
a copy of the peace treaty before the
head of the German delegation.
"Count Von Brockdorff-Rantzau
has the floor," said Premier Clemen
ceau, as soon as the translation had
been finished.
The head of the German delega
tion did not riso like Premier Clem
enceau, reading his speech sitting but
it was remarked by some that his
apparent discourtesy to his adver
saries may have been dictated by
his physical condition.
Cadis For Louder Utterance
After the first sentence of the
count's speech had been delivered in
German an interpreter began the
French translation. The words did
not reach the head of the table dis
tinctly and Premier Clemenceau call
ed for a louder utterance. He was
equally dissatisfied with the second
attempt of the interpreter, and two
of the German officials finally left
their places with the German dele
gation and moved across to the head
of the table to deliver the German
plenipotentiaries bold and frequent
ly offensive message, sentence by
sentence right into the faces of Pre
miers Clemnceau, Lloyd George and
miers Clemenceau, Lloyd George and
Count Von Brockdorft-Rantzau's
guttural German repeatedly rang out
in strong emphasis on particularly
vigorous phrases or words of his
speech as, for Instance, when he de
clared that the admission by Ger
many of sole guilt for the war would
be a "lie" and when be forbade the
allies to speak of "cruelty and mur
der," In view of the sufferings and
deaths of German civilians under
the blockade and after the armistice.
The interpreter who gave the Eng
lish version made the most of his
opportunity, both in voice and selec
tion of words and the bold and un
repentant declarations of the Ger
man peace delegate as thus brought
out gave rise to a murmur of indig
nation to the chamber. j

Army Day Set Apart by Sec

Washington, May 8. Terms of
the peace treaty gave a distinct

subscriptions throughout the coun
try, according to early reports to the
Treasury. Loan workers in hun

of the terms to theater audiences,
and out of the enthusiasm which fol

to swell the nation's total.
This was Army Day in the loan
