WORLD DISCUSSION ON DISARMAMENT INFORMAL INQUIRIES MADE Oi ENGLAND, FRANCE, ITALY AND JAPAN INCLUDE FAR EAST PROBLEM If Plan For Conference In Washington Is Acceptable, Formal Invitations To Nations Will Follow Washington.—President Harding has laid the foundation for an internation al conference to discuss armament re duction and, at the same time, to con sider a solution of questions growing out of the far eastern problem, the Union News staff correspondent wires his papers. In a recent official statement issued by Secretary of State Hughes, it is an nounced that “informal, but definite” inquiries have been made of England, France, Italy and Japan to ascertain whether it would be agreeable to them to take part in an armament reduction conference to be held in Washington. “If the proposal is found to be accep table,” Mr. Hughes says, “formal invi tations for such conference will be is sued forthwith.” Hughes further pointed out that the question of armament limitation “has a close relation” to Pacific and far eastern problems. For this reason, he adds, “the president has suggested that the powers especially interested in these problems should undertake in connection with this conference the consideration of all matters bearing upon their solution with a view to reaching a common understanding with respect to principles and policies in the east.” ' Hughes further discloses that China has been invited to takep art in such discussion as relate to the far eastern questions. It is assumed that, in view of recent utterances by British and Japanese statesmen, coupled with Italy’s known reaction to the cause of disarmament, that at least a majority of the “allied and associated powers” questioned in formally, will acquiesce in the presi dent’s desires. It Is noted, hower, that the Hughes statement broadly refers to the “ques tion of limitation of armament,” not specifying merely naval armament, but embracing, on its face at least, reduc tion of both land and sea forces. France —in her desire to ensure German ful fillment of peace treaty terms —has maintained hundreds of thousands of troops in active service and this phase of the disarmament problem has been one to perplex those working in its behalf here. The time for calling the conference, however, is left open, according to the Hughes statement. If the proposal for such a conclave Is found acceptable, he says, it will be held in Washington “at a time to be mutually agreed upon.” Father of Nineteen Out Of Names Lynchburg, |Va. —Fred O.

STATE CAPITAL LETTER Resume Of A Week’s Activities Relative To Georgia’s Law makers Told In Brief Declaring that agents of the state agricultural department had “traveled over the state for the past four months at the expense of taxpayers, building up a propaganda against in vestigation of its affairs,” Senator L. C. Brown, of the Fiftieth district, is sued a sensational statement recently in which he revealed the nature of charges made against this branch of state affairs and asserted that he was now leaving the matter in the hands of the general assembly. When Commissioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown was informed of Senator Brown’s statement, he issued a denial to the allegations and defied his critic to make an affidavit and pres ent charges against him in the senate. “I dare him to make an affidavit to the statement he has published,” said the commissioner, “and present charges against me in the senate. And unless he does this, in my esti mation, he is a coward in every sense of the word.” The senator, who has sought to pass a resolution calling for an investiga tion of the agricultural department stated that he had reached the con clusion that such a measure could not be passed in either the house or the senate, owing to the political machine of Commissioner J. J. Brown. The charges against the department, he said, had been placed in his posses sion and he had been asked to present them before the investigating commit tee. “I have come to the conclusion,” said Senator Brown, “that a resolu tion calling for an investigation of the department could not pass in either branch of the general assembly, due to the fact that field men connect ed with the department have cover ed the state at the expense of the taxpayers for the past four months. So I am leaving these charges before the assembly. —By Senator Johns of the Twenty seventh District —To declaare the law in regard to negotiable instruments.

No. G, near Lexington, Ky.„ "and have both been nervous and run down.” “We could not see anything with out suffering afterwards and could not sleep at night. We were regular nerv ous dyspeptics. We tried many rem edies without permanent benefit until we heard of Tanlac. I got this medi cine and began using it. We noticed immediate results. We are both great ly improved by Tanlrfc. We give all credit for the change of health to Tan lac. It is a remarkable medicine. “I personally feel so good that I told my hands a day or two ago that I could heat any of them shucking corn, ! meant it and believe I could have beat 'em all.” Of all the maladies that afflict hu manity chronic dyspepsia, such as Mr. and Mrs. White suffered from, is prob ably the most prevalent, and hours might be consumed in describing the suffering, mental and bodily, of the victims of chronic dyspepsia. A morbid, unreal, whimsical and melancholy condition of the mind, aside from the nervous physical suffer ing. is the usual state of the average dyspeptic, and life seems scarcely worth living.
