4 IEIBY MAKES A FRESH BLUNDER Up Resolution to Probe Case of National Guard Officer Senator Scott S. Leiby, Perry, who las been at odds with the majority •of the Senate all this session put his feet deeper into trouble yester day afternoon, when he held up a resolution calling for investigation of alleged unfairness to Twenty eighth Division officers in Franco. Senator T. Larry Eyre, Chester, presented the resolution to the Son ate with a speech, dealing with the unfair treatment of a Pennsylvania officer with whom he was person ally acquainted, and intimated that the same treatment was accorded others from the Keystone State. A cousin of Postmaster General A. S. Burleson, was cited as tho superior officer concerned with the unfair order in the case mentioned by Sen ator Eyre. Senator Leiby immediately ob jected to the passage of the meas ure. thus arousing Senator Eyre. The passage at arms which follow ed is thus recorded in the Senate Journal: Mr. EYRE. Mr. President, I feel very deeply on this question. We Tiave from our county that I have the honor to represent, one whom I consider one of the bravest sol diers that went to the front both in the engagement with Mexico and in the World War, and that person is a man who was a member of this Legislature, Captain Samuel A. Whltaker. He was In the command of a Colonel on the Mexican bor- FEARED CASE WAS HOPELESS HUT NOW SHE HAS NEW VIGOR THAI MAKES WORK SEEM EASY *T had begun to think that my ease was hopeless. I had tried every thing that might have some effect on my condition without getting any relief, and now your precious Na tonex has given me such splendid results that I feel that I just can't say enough for it," declared Mrs. Anna Troop, of 4 Harris street, ■Laurel Run Borough, Wilkes-Barre. Wonderful endorsements like these are pouring in for Natonex. Men and women who had almost .given up are telling day after day how this new Nature medicine has brought the long sought for relief. "Natonex has improved mv condi tion more than I thought possible," Mrs. Troop said, "even though I had the greatest confidence in it after the safe Nature remedies were ex plained to me. "For years I have been afflicted •with stomach, liver and bowel trou ble. My suffering made mo so nervous and exhausted I didn't know what a good night's sleep meant. I hadn't eaten with any real desire or relish in all that Ume. When I did eat I would be miserable with sour stomach, gas and stabbing pains. "My condition was snch that my bowels would not act without a -physic. I was so run down I had no ambition to do anything. It .seemed an effort to do the least lit tle thing, and this worried me ter ribly. By that time I had begun to think To My Friends: The stationery and office equipment business which I have conducted at 9 North Market Square for many years has been incorporated under the firm name of Cotterel Ebner Company. George F. Ebner, Jr., Wil liam F. Laskowski, Jr., and William J. Evert, Jr., will be the active mem bers of the firm. These gentlemen have had extensive experience in buying and sell ing office furniture and equipment for a number of years. Mr. Ebner has successfully conducted a similar business of his own at 2 N. Court street for four years. Previous to that he was connected with a large stationery house in New York. Mr. Laskowski comes into the firm with a fund of knowledge gained during 22 years of experience as Field Representative for the Carter Ink Co., of Boston. Mr. Evert is well known in Harrisburg. He has been purchasing agent for the Elliott-Fisher Company, local manufacturers of account ing machines, for fourteen years. I shall retain an interest in the business, but the younger members of the firm will play the major part in the management from now on. I take this opportunity to again thank everyone who has helped make this business so successful. Come around, telephone or write for a sample of Cotterel-Ebner service. In addition to the store force, four capable field representatives will render this courteous, efficient and painstaking service at your home or place of business $ George F. Ebner, Jr. William F.

Colonel McKee told me per sonally that on the Mexican border Captain Whltaker was the best ar tillery officer In his regiment. Cap tain Whltaker was in command of the battery from Phoenixvllle when the first call was made for troops. He was at Camp Hancock for a period of several months and was sent to Fort Sill for training. He graduated from the Fort Sill school and was sent overseas. For three months ho stood out on the front quarter—on the front line, without cessation and without a moment's rest to himself or his battery. The day before the armistice was signed on the 10th day of November, he received notice to go back for re assignment and the only reason giv en after he had spent three months aud had done valued service before I'ismes as well as In the Argonne Forest, the only reason assignod for his being sent back was that he was temperamentally unfit. There was no opportunity given to him by the Colonel, who had been but a few days before set up in command of that regiment, in the person of a Texan, of the regular army officer. Colonel Burleson, a cousin of the Postmaster General of the United States. Ho was given no opportun ity to defend himself, but was sim ply separated from his command, and sent back for reassignment, with Major Reily, another member of the National Guard of Pennsyl vania, besides several other offi cers. I say to the people of Penn sylvania and the United States that this sort of treatment to the Na tional Guard of Pennsylvania, should not be allowed to go unnoticed. Mr. President and gentlemen of the Senate, I say that the very strong- C-M protest should be male to tho Government of the United States against such treatment to the boys my ease hopeless. Then I learned about the famous old Nature reme dies that are used in Natonex and I started to take it. There was a remarkable change for the better right away. My desire for food is a new sensation. I eat with pleasure now and I am not bothered with that awful indigestion. I sleep fine, my nerves are getting in good shape and I have vigor aud energy and my work seems light. "With such splendid results, I feel as if I can't say enough for Natonex. and I urge anyone who is suffering as I was, to test Natonex for them selves right away." "I think Mrs. Troop's case shows what Nature will do if given a real chance," said the Natonex represent ative. "She began to believe her case was hopeless and then, in a few days, she had such vigor and en ergy that her work seems light. Her system was purified, a good appetite came, her food digested and Nature did the rest." The Nature remedies that Mrs. Troop tells about are all explained by the Natonex representative here at the Gorgas drug store, 16 North Third street, and anyone can learn how Natonex is designed to create good digestion, pure blood, real nerve vigor and bodily strength. Natonex is now sold by leading druggists everywhere. If your drug gist can't supply you, don't wait, just address the Gorgas Drug Co., Harrisburg. of the 2Sth Division, who won the] world's war and It Is so conceded by all the students of history who have written on the subject, and 1, therefore, hope that this Senate will add Its protest against (he treat ment that was accorded to the brave boys of the National Guard of Penn sylvania, and will give unanimous consent that this resolution may be considered at this time." Lelby's Attitude Mr. LEIBY. Mr. President, and ! gentlemen of the Senate, I for one I shall object to the consideration of ; this resolution, not that I havo any less regard for the National Guard of Pennsylvania than the diet'mguish ed Senator from Chester, however j I feel on this resolution as I have : felt on many other resolutions that | have found their way Into this Sen i ate and X believe that it is proper I that when there are any national ! Ills to be corrected, this State, as : the opposition will easily agree, has 1 representatives down there to bring lit before Congress. It is the duty ! of the Senate of Pennsylvania un der this Legislature to pay atten j tlon and to pass upon matters that ' are of vital importance to the State iof Pennsylvania. This State elects : two United States Senators, as well as Congressman, to represent it in national affairs, and the fconator from Chester, who is high in the i councils of his party and has special favor with those men who 1 represent this State at Washington, surely can bring his complaint to their attention. There have been many complaints, which are the : natural outcome of matters of tnis ' kind, because whenever we dc not receive the attention we think we should have, whenever we do not i get the promotions we we should have, not only in military affairs, naturally we are hurt, and we have a complaint to make. Not for a minute, speaking disparagingly of the National Guard of Pennsyl vania, among whom are some of my very closest and best friends, without speaking discourteously of them, X do not believe there is any man in the Senate of Pennsylvania, who would compare the training of the National Guard of Pennsyl vania, who have their armories and for a two weeks' encampment dur ing the summer, with the training and schooling and the discipline that the men from West Point, or the men in the Regular Army of the United States. If that were a fact it would be a sad comment upon tne Regular Army of the United States, which has been with us for these manv years. I have no disregard tor Captain Whitaker, if he has been injured it should be 9° rre f t ® and the parties offending should be punished. These resolutions do not originate properly in this Senate. If the Senate of Pennsylvania and the House of Representatives at tend strictly to the business of the State of Pennsylvania they will have all that they can handle, and I say if we have any grievance of a na tional character there is not one here who does not have a friend In Congress and if that grievance Is properly presented, there is where the resolution will originate, there is where the investigations will be made. "I am not rising at this time to object to this for any personal rea son, but as I have thought all through this session of the lature, there has been too much dis position on the part of some of us to dictate in matters over which we have no control and that should not concern us as a legislative body. Mr EYRE. Mr. President, I un derstand that the Senator from Perry objects. _ , . The PRESIDENT. The Chair has not heard objections . Does the Chair hear objections? Mr. L.EIBY, Mr. President, I ob jec t. Mr. EYRE. Mr. President, if the Senator from Perry gets any satis faction out of his objection to the passage of this resolution he is wel come to all the satisfaction that he HAJRRISBTTRG TELEGRXPH can take out of it. If he fears that there will be no investigation by the National Congress, I can assure hiin to the satisfaction of himself and his party, that there will be unlim ited investigation* that will show them up in a mighty bad fashion in my Judgment, before the National i onß [. ess wi, l Set through with their lv V ? He undertakes to say that this Is no place for a resolu tion of this kind, that we are sworn to uphold the Constitution of the .state of Pennsylvania. If we are Tu "P holdin sr the Constitution of J" i_- tate of Pennsylvania by up holding the most gallant National | Guard that any State in the Union ever produced, then I fail to under- I stand my duty as a Senator of Pcnn |s„ ania - lam willing and ready at all times to raise my voice in de fense of the National Guard of this State after the valiant service that they rendered to this State and the ! Nation and the world in their | Twenty-eighth Division by downing the Germans in the World War, and while I can see that this resolution | will go over for a day under the i rules to the Military Committee, I jam of the opinion that when it tomes out if the Senator from ?."* is of t,le sam ® mind, that he (Will be the only vote in opposition to the passage of the resolution to do justice to our National Guards men of the State of Pennsylvania. The PRESIDENT. The resolution is referred to the Committee on Military AfTairs. The following is the text of the resolution: "Whereas certain officers who have had long and honorable mtli , tary careers in the service of the national guard of Pennsylvania and I have served with distinction on the American border in the United | States' service, and "Whereas, many of these officers i during their service in the National Guard, had been trained at numer ous schools and encampments, and having become a part of the Twenty eighth division during the ten months of its training at Camp Han cock, were further trained in their duties and many of them gradu ated from machine gun, infantry and artillery schools. Camp Han cof.'ci * , ° r * and other places, and "Whereas, these officers perform ed their duties with proficiency and displayed both zeal and valor on the various battlefields of Prance, and "Whereas, many of these officers were relieved from their commands about the time that it became evi dent that a cessation of hostilities was about to take place, and regu lar army officers who had not taken part in the actual service during hostilities were assigned to take their places, and "Whereas, many of these nation al guard officers were relieved from their commands without cause, and in an unjust and arbitrary manner, and "Whereas, in some cases the rea sons given for such removals were totally unfounded and unsupported by evidence, and the officers relieved were totally unfounded and unsup ported by evidence, and the officers relieved were not accorded the op portunity of contradicting the state ments, or to vindicate themselves or to have such impartial considera tion as is required by the principles of justice, and '"Whereas, the exercise of the ar bitrary power of commanding offi cers who were of the regular army, were invariably directed against the former national guardsmen to such an extent that there appears to havo been a definite plan and design to discredit the national guard, Therefore, be it resolved, if the House of Representatives concur, that the United States congress be requested to make such investiga tion of the whole subject as shall seem necessary and proper, and if it shall appear that the said offi cers have been treated unfairly that proper recognition and vindication be given them, and that suitable rep rimand or other punishment be giv en those guilty of such unjust treat ment, and that proper and ade quate laws be enacted to prevent the recurrence of such injustice in the future."

Commission to Settle Teschen Question Copenhagen, May 28.—Premier Paderewski, of Poland, has arranged with President Kasaryk, of Czecho slovakia, according to a dispatch from Prague, that the Teschen question, which has caused much difficulty between Poland and Czecho-Slovakia, shall be settled by„ a Polish-Czech commission, which will sit at Cracow. It's Easy to Peel Off All Your Freckles The contrast between the freckles and the clear skin uaually is so great that no bleach can be more than par tially successful in obliterating the disfigurments. Ordinary mercolized wax is far better; it literally peels oft the freckles. Get an ounce of it at the nearest drug store and to-night spread on enough to completely cover the face; remove in the morning with warm water. Repeat daily until every freckle has disappeared. Rough, blotchy, pimpled skin, also common at this season, may be en tirely gotten rid of by this same method, without discomfort or incon vehlence. The effort is decidedly worth while, the new complexion ob tained being so clear, smooth and youthful- i ■ i IF YOUR EARS RING WITH HEAD NOISES If you have roaring, buzzing noises in your ears, are getting hard of hearing and fear Catarrhal. Deafness, go to your druggist and get 1 ounce of Parmint (double strength), and add to it (4 pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful four 1 times a day. This will often bring quick re lief from the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and the mucous stop dropping into the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and Is pleasant to take. Anyone who has Catarrhal trouble of the cars, Is hard of hearing or has head noises should give this prescription a trial. COL THOMPSON TELLS OF 110 TH Former Senator Holds Close Attention of Big Audience in the Senate Chamber Col. Joseph H. Thompson, of Bea ver Falls, who came home in com mand of the 110 th Infantry, was ac corded the honor of a special session of the Senate to hear him tell of the 2 Bth Division last night. The colo nel is a former Senator and an old National Guardsman. The House adjourned to hear htm and marched in a body to the Senate chamber. He held the close attention of a bt* audience for an hour and a half. "God bless the American dough boy. I think he is the noblest crea ture in God's world. He is the salt of the earth." Such was the tribute that Col. Thompson paid to the members of the Keystone Division and the mem bers of the American Army in gen eral. Dike every other American soldier who has been asked to tell of his experiences in the great war, Col. Thompson persistently re frained from using the pronoun "I" and instead talked of the work of the Keystone Division and its var ious units. At times, too, he referred to the heroic actions of some indi vidual but never without remarking such an act only exemplified the work of every individual In the Keystone Division. The Division Story Col. Thompson traced the activi ties of the Pennsylvania division from the time it went to Camp Han cock until its return. Speaking of the fighting of the division, Col. Thompson would not say that the work of the Keystone Division sur passed that of other divisions but he made certain references which would indicate that the Pennsylvanians "were there every minute" and the several hundred in the hall knew full well that the division stood sec ond to none. "I just read several days ago where a certain division, I will not name it, claims the record for gain ing the most amount of ground," said Col. Thompson. "In the woods north of the Ourcq river we ad vanced two kilometers while that di vision, which was next came up from the rear and gained thirty or thirty five kilometers. Our casualties in that fight were 1,100. They never took a man or a gun either. Why if it hadn't been for the Keystone Di vision that division would have been lost." Col. Thompson told of the battle of the Marne in which companies of his regiment participated. He told of how Company B, of New Brigh ton. and Company C. of Somerset, had been placed between companies of the French infantry. Here the colonel pointed out one of the differ ences in the fighting of the Ameri cans and the French. The French, he said, when they would take up a division, would retire a ehort dis tance and take up another position if the Boche were too strong and fight from the new location. The Americans would "never retire un less licked," he said, and added that he had "never seen this." In the Marne fight, in which the Western Pennsylvania companies were bri baded with the French, Col. Thornp son said, word was sent by the French commander that a retire ment was to be made to another po sition where the battle would be re sumed. "We're put up here to fight and we're going to stick," was the word sent back from the command er* of the Pennsylvania companies. "Such actions," said Col. Thompson, "not only proved the worth of the Twenty-eighth but the entire Amer ican Army. The result was that not a single Boche crossed the river at that point." The Way They Fought "I recall the work of one of the boys in the regiment," said Col. Thompson, "who killed eighteen Germans. And he knew where their bodies were to be found. A detach ment of our men was sent out and he would say. Now you will And two bodies behind that tree and another back of the next' and in a short time twelve of the Germans were found. There is no doubt but that he got the other six. His work just shows the caliber of the men who make up the Pennsylvania National Guard." Colonel Thompson told, too, of a little Irishman, Sergeant Lynch, of Philadelphia, who called for volun teers to set out to beat back an ad vance of a detachment of Germans. In a minute, he said, seventy-five men surrounded him and the Ger mans were sent back. Col. Thomp son spoke on the work of the Penn eylvanians around Chateau Thierry and said that the 56th brigade had taken two strategic points north of that place for which it has not been given credit. He said that he simply referred to this in the hope that historians will correct the error in writing the history of the big struggle. Don't Know Defeat The fighting qualities of the Penn sylvania soldiers can best be de scribed, Col, Thompson pointed out, by the Germans themselves. He told of a batch of prisoners being brought in, among them come who could speak English. "One of them said that the Americans know noth ing about warfare. 'lf you had been the British or the French,' he said, 'we would have known what you were going to do, but you Americans don't Hnow When you're licked.' " German troops were fearful of be ing taken prisoners. Col. Thompson asserted, because of the propaganda which had been spread among them. A number were taken on a certain day and when they were led behind the American lines by Pennsylvania boys, they were shaking like leaves, he said. In reply to questions re garding their nirvousness, they said they had been told that every Ger man taken prisoner would be scalped by the Yanks. When assured that such was not the case and that men captured would be treated as hon orable prisoners of war they were much relieved and two of their num ber volunteered to go behind the German lines and spread the correct story. Col. Thompson talked, too, on the fighting qualities of the officers of the Twenty-eighth Division. A Har risburg officer, he said, who had fallen as the result of an explosion of shrapnel, had his wounds hur riedly dressed after he himself had picked some of the pieces from his body and refused to go to the rear, declaring that ho wanted to go on and that he was needed at the front. Despite his wounds, the officer con tinued in the fight. Col. Thompson was referring to Captain E. J. Stackpole, Jr., commander of Com pany M, of the 110 th, made up largely of I-atrobe boys. The Spirit Shown Before Col. Thompson was placed at the head of the regiment, he served as a major and he told a story to illustrate the spirit of the wounded. A boy in one of the west ern companies was wounded and fell during one of the advances. He watched his comrades go on but be cause of his wounds he could not go on. "Give 'em hell, major," he shouted, "I'll soon be along again." Col. Thompson made an impas sioned plea for the support of the boys still in France by the people at home. He urged that letters be written to the boys who are there and told of how letters from home braced up the spirits of the men while the fight was in progress. "They were fighting for you at home," he said. "A letter from home with 'God bless you, go on,' and they were satisfied to go on and on and on." The mothers in this war, said Col. Thompson, made the real sacrifices and he took occasion to praise them for their sacrifices. "God bless them," he said, "they have done noble work." The com mander of the 11 Oth also praised the work of the welfaVe organiza tions represented In France and told of the great good accomplished by them among the soldiers. Before he closed Viis address. Col. Thompson spoke very complimen tary of the recent appointment of General Price to be major general of the Pennsylvania National Guard which will be reorganized shortly. He also took occasion to express his regret at the death of the late Adju tant General Thomas J. Stewart which occurred before he could view the results of his efTorts In making the Pennsylvania Guard the organlztton which so distinguished I itself in the war. In closing, Col. Thompson de clared that before the war the American flag was little respected beyond the borders of the country. "But now." he said, "Old Glory is respected wherever she is thrown to the breeze. That is not because of what the officers did, not because of what the statesmen did but because of what the doughboys did." When he had finished, Senator T. Larry Eyre moved that the Senate give Col. Thompson a vote of thanks for coming here and this was given. Col. Thompson's address will be printed in the record. Colonel Will Return Col. Thompson will leave New York on the steamer American on June 3 in charge of about fifty ath letes who served in the Army to compete in the athletic events that are to be held in competition with the soldiers of the allied forces in Paris from about June 24 to about July 6. Colonel Thompson will be present at the Intercollegiates in Boston on Saturday when he will have a final look at some of the men in action. Coi. Thompson was at one time coach of the University of Pitts burgh football team. He was ath letic director of the Second Army in France before being returned to his regiment as colonel. Before the 28th division embarked for home he was requested by Col. Wait C. Johnson in charge of ath letics in the Army in France to re main to assist him but finally was permitted to come home on the promise that he would select in the United States a team of athletes and take them to France for the pur pose of defeating similar teams of the allies. This team is now being picked by Fred. Rubien. of New York, secretary of the Amateur Ath letic Union and Colonel Thompson. The team will be made up of about two men from each branch of ath letics to be competed in. All men who served in the Army either at home or abroad between August 3 1914, and November 11, 1918. are eli gible to make the team. The Fos dick Commission is also assisting in arranging for the trip of the Amer icans. According to Col. Thompson some of the men will be tried out in New York before sailing. The games will be held in the Pershing stadium in France and the athletes who are not attached to the Army still in France will return NEW YORK HARRISBDRG READING LANCASTER (Elons (En.
