NEW TREATY
MOVE INVITES
A SHOWDOWN
Hitchcock Sends Ultimatum to
Lodge; Bipartisan Con
ference Adjourns.
DOUBT ON BOTH SIDES
WASHINGTON, .Tan. 27 Bipartisan
treaty conferees today adjourned after
a two-hour meeting, leaving the whole
treaty situation as much In the air as
ever. The expected final breaking off of
the discussion did not occur, another
session being set for Thursday.
A final “showdown’’ upon which would
hinge the entire question of ratifica
tion or rejection of the treaty was
expected to be the outcome of an ulti
matum Senator Hitchcock, the adminis
tration leader, served on Senator Lodge,
republican leader. It was expected Sena
tor Hitchcock would attempt to bring the
treaty to the senate floor If the ultimatum
was disregarded.
The ultimatum, setting forth to just
what extent Hitchcock and democratic
senators supporting him would accept
the Lodge reservations, was embodied in
a formal communication Hitchcock ad
dressed to Lodge.
It was intended as a reply to Lodge's
statement that he would not agree to any
material change in the reservations to
Article 10 of the league of nations cov
enant,'and the Monroe doctrine, but
would insist upon the American prin
ciples involved In them being preserved
intact.
REPUBLICAN'S SAID
TO BE UNITED.
Behind Lodge, on the question of
American principles, were reported the
entire republican side of forty nine sen
ators. The republican "irreconeiJables”
and the republican “mild reservationists" ■
were said to oe united on one propo
sition: that tuere should be no sacrifice
of those American principles which were
involved in the Lodge reservations voted
down by the democratic side ou Nov. 19
i'JSt.
The democratic side was said to be di
vided between Hitchcock and his fol
lowers, who were reported to regard as
“logical” the president’s position that the
Lodge reservations would result in a
•'nullification'’ of the treaty,” and Senator
Underwood of Alabama and his sup
porters. who were said to favor “con
cessions” which would lead to an agree
ment with the republicans.
It was predicted that unless Hitchcock
could rally around him a sufficient num
ber of democratic senators to develop a
real attack upon the Lodge reservations,
Senator Lodge would refuse to take his
ultimatum seriously.
Grave doubt was expressed by both re
publican and democratic senators as to
w hether a solution of the numerical prob
lem involved in putting the treaty across
would be found.
LODGE FLEDGES
SAID TO TOTAL 42,
Approximately forty republican sena
tors and at least two democratic ones—•
were known to be pledged to support any
move made by Senator Lodge toward the
preservation of the American principles
wrapped up in the reservations bearing
his name.
It was again pointed out that the res
ervations represented a compromise—aft
of many weeks of effort—of conflicting
views with regard to the league of na
tions covenant.
While it was felt Senator McNary, re
publican, Oregon, and his “mild associ
ates" might go far with their effort to
bring about ratification it was not be
lieved they would desert Senator Lodge
on a final “showdown” of strength be
tween the republicans and the democratic
side.
Senator Colt of Rhode Island, who has
repeatedly expressed himself as being
willing to make “many concessions" in
order to bring about ratification, was
said' to be of the opinion that .unlSSgJthe
democrats showed a genuine disposition
to accept the principles involved in the
I.odge reservations be for one would vote
against any modifications in them the
democratic side may propose.

THIN PEOPLE
NEED BITRO
-
Increases Weight, Strength and Nerve
Force in Two Week* Time
In Many Instances
Judging from the countless prepara
tions aud treatments which are con
tinually being advertised for the pur
pose of making thin people fleshy, de
veloping arms, neck and bust, and re
placing ugly hollows and angles by the
soft, curved lines of health and beauty,
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their exces
sive thinness.
JIBS’-
liSws?tjssßjjjlF f
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodied need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is noth:
ing that will supply this deficiency so
well as the organic phosphate known
among druggists as bilro-pliosphate.
which is inexpensive and is sold by
Haag's Seven Stores, also Hook's drug
stores and most ail druggists under a
guarantee of satisfaction or money back.
By feeding the nerves directly and by
supplying the body cells with the neces
sary phosphoric food elements. Mtro
phosphata should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance: the
increase in weight frequently being as
tonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with it
a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should soon disap
pear, dull ey :s ought *o brighten, and
pale cheeks glow with the hioom of
perfect health. Miss Georgia Hamilton,

her own experience, writes: “Bitro-

GUARD BERLIN
AGAINST RIOTS
AFTER ATTACK
Erzberger, Finance Minister,
Slightly Wounded as He
Leaves Libel Trial.
NOSKE ACTS QUICKLY
BERLIN, Jan. 27.—Mathias Erzberger,
minister of finance who was slightly
wounded by an assailant as he was leav
ing the criminal courts building on Mon
day, was resting easy today. The assail
ant, who was immediately arrested, said
he was Ollwlg von Hirsebfeld, a atudent,
and that he had attacked the minister
for political reasons.
Erzberger was not seriously injured,
although physicians said an operation
would be necessary to remove the bullet,
which lodged in his shoulder.
Von Hlrschfeld fired three shots from
a small caliber revolver, but only one
took effect. The first, shot struck a
heavy watch chain and glanced off. The
second also glanced when It struck a
button on Erzberger’a vest.
Von Hlrschfeld told the police he had
been attending the Erzberger-Helfferleh
trial and had become convinced Erzberger
was "noxious to Germany.” Von Hirsch
feld is a student and former army lieu
tenant.
The British and Italian ministers sent
messages of sympathy to Erzberger.
Rumors of an impending monarchist
outbreak were circulated soon after the
shooting and Gustav Noske, minister of
defense, immediately put guards over ail
government buildings. Tbo public was
forbidden to enter certain zones.
The attack upon Erzberger came as a
climax to the stormy trial in which
the finance minister is suing Dr. Karl
Helfferleh, former vice chancellor and
once minister to Russia, for libel. Helf
ferich bad charged the finance minister
with using his government war posts for
private gain.
The trial, which has been been at
tended largely by German leaders, re
sulted in crystallizing the bitter feel
ing between the Pan-Germans and the
present government. Helffericb was par
ticularly bitter in his attacks upon Erz
berger in the courtroom.
After court adjourned yesterday Erz
berger, accompanied by his lawyer,
walked from the courts building to his
motor car, which was waiting. Un
noticed iii the crowd Von Hirschfield
hurried up to Erzbergcr'a aide and be
gan firing.

Tanlac.
According to late press reports issued
by state and city health authorities, In
fluenza Is again becoming epidemic in
many sections, and much alarm is now
felt that It may become general over the
entire country.
The disease has made its greatest
progress in Chicago and vicinity, where
thousands of new eases are reported
daily. Tleeently 2.514 cases were re
ported in Chicago in one day, breaking
last year’s record when the epidemic was
at Its height. Reports from other sec
tions are also alarming, and the dts
ease is gaining headway in some sections
of Texas, Virginia, the Middle West and
on the Pacific coast. It has also ap
peared in other communities, although it
has not as yet reached the epidemic stage.
Owing to the lateness of the season it
is not thought possible that the disease
can become the great and terrifying
scourge that it was last year, when It
swept the entire country and claimed its
victims by the hundreds of thousands.
The danger Is too great, however, to take
any chances, aud everything possible
should be done (to ward it ott

earliest victims of Influenza. If you
find yourself tired (and nervous), weak,
nnd losing flesh, or if you are in a gen
erally run-down condition or catch cold
easily, this warning should be heeded
promptly. You are really in danger if
exposed to the disease, because it is
generally believed to be very conta
gious, and you are apt to fall an easy
victim if you come in contact with the
germs.
People who are well and strong are
not likely to contract the disease because
they are able to throw It off. The
common-sense way to keep from taking

other words, begin Immediately to build

To accomplish this it has been demon
strated that nothing on earth will strength
en you nnd build you up like Tanlac, the
powerful reconstructive tonic which con
tains the very elements needed to build
up the system and give you fighting
strength to ward off the Influenza germ.
First of all, Tanlac begins Its work
by creating a good, healthy appetite for
wholesome, nourishing food, and asslsfs
every organ of the body to perform its
natural function, thus hlping to build up
health and strength in the natural way.
Tanlac is also an ideal strengthening
tonic for persons who are suffering from
the after-effects of Influenza, Grippe, and
bronchial troubles, and hundreds of
thousands are using it dally with the
most gratifying results.
In connection with the Tanlac treat
ment it is necessary to keep the bowels
open by taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets,
samples of which are enclosed with every
bottle of Tanlac. It is also Important
that the, every-day rules of hygiene be
observed, that, is, sleep in well-ventilated
rooms, get plenty of fresh air and ex
