Came an
Duitoni, Ala,-ln recommending Tihed
ford's Black-Draught to her friends and
neighibors here, Mrs. T. F. Parks, a wclil
kinown jackson Counmty lady, said: Albimr
gietting up li years; my head is pretty
Swhite. I have seent mtedicinies and~ reme
dies comeC and go hut thme old-i'elable
came and stayed. I anm talking of Biack
Draught, a liver medicine wve have used
for years--oneC that can be depended up
Qn and one that will do the work.
"Black-Draught wili relieve Indigesio'
nd constipation if lakeni right, and I kniov
Sr I tried it. it is the best thing I hav<
Vet foutld for the full, uncomforithbk
he British cabinet to discuss the mat
ors.
Today's meeting of the su-preme
ouncil was -h protracted one, M.
riatnd taking a loig'time to explain
ho 'reneh plan to Count Sforza and
4. aJaper, who had not the advantage
if being present at 'lHythe when the
Prench premier discussed the matter
vith Mr. Lloyd George. Only this
norning! was' it made -known that the
3ritish had. a new scheme to offer
rhich was communicated to M. 'Briand
vihen he went to Downing stteet at
ioon for a short talk with Mr. Lloyd
Jeorge. It was explained from the
British side after the meeting of the
,ouncil that the new move was made
nying to the findiing of'-the ropara
ions commission that the German in
lebtedness was 6,600,000,000 pounds.
This, it was said, greatly altered the
iltuation, as it was necessary in a'p
plying the penalties that the provisions
f the .treaty should be observed.
It iwas no surprise to find Count
Sforza supporting the British ptlatn
as it had been known Italy was strong
ly opposed to occupation of the R1uhr
unless it was found -absolutely neces
sary in order to enforce payment of
the reparations.
Tonight's 'meeting 'of the experLs
niay find a way out of the difficulty
and tomorrow's meeting of 'the au
preme council may be ablo to com
pose the differences or find a middle
course, but the diplomats took a se
I-ious view of the situation for, if no
agreement ts reached, Mr. Briand, is
faced -with the vprospect of having
France alvance into the Ruhr region
alone, or at best with the -Belgians,
or placing his cabinet in jeopardy.
Military experts were not pr~sent
aft -today's meeting but diplomats and
financiers were there- in strong force.
Mr. Lloyd George had Earl Curzon at
his right hand and other oficials at his
beck and call; M. Briand was accom
paniled by M. Loucheur, minister for
the devastated regions, and M. Bethe
lot; Count Sforza by the Marquis IDella
Torreta; Baron 'Iayashi, Japanese am
bassador to Great Britain, by Kogo
Mori, Japanese financial adviser in
