Enver Bey Saves Americans
In Gratitude to the Red Cross
CONSTANTINOPLE—The grat
itude of Enver Bey, the Na
tionalist machine gun • commander,
who had been nursed back to health
by Miss Mary Super, Narberth, Pa.,
a Red Cross nurse detailed with the
American commission for relief in
the Near East, made possible the es
cape of the relief workers from the
American board mission buildings in
Hadjin thirty minutes before the Na
tionalists turned their artillery on
the structures and destroyed them
June 13.
This fact became known recently
with the arrival here of Miss Super,
Miss Katherine Rredemus, South
Bend, Ind., and Mr. and Mrs. D. C.
Eby, Disbury, Alberta, from the
Hadjin district. The bare news of
their escape had preceded them by
a few days.
The relief workers maintained
neutrality in the £«bting between
the Armenians and Turks which
opened March 29. The Turks took
charge of the American compound,
fortifyin" between it and Hadjin in
such a manner that whenever the
Armenians fired on the Turks the
compound was peppered.
Man-Hunt of a Week Ends When
Girl Discovers His Hiding Place
EASTON. Md.—Twice condemned
to death for assaulting a thirteen
year-old white girl and twice es
caped froth jail, Isaiah Fountain, a
big negro, is again In Easton jail.
For a week there has been a deter
mined man hunt throughout the
country and across the Delaware
line in which thousands of men witn
a corps of policemen from Baltimore
have joined. Just as the hunt was
about to be abandoned a fifteen-year
old girl made the discovery that led
to his capture recently.
Since his escape, the negro, half
famished, had been hiding on Marvel
farm, less than fifteen miles from
this place. He had sought refuge
from Monday night’s storm in a barn
on the farm of Calvin Anderson, at
Queen Anne, just’ inside the Queen
Anne county line. Miss Virginia An
derson went to the barn to feed her
father’s stock, when she saw the

POLITICS BANNED
BY BURLESON FOR
POSTAL WORKERS
BY THEODOHE TILDEB
WASHINGTON, July 27. —A warn
ing that all postmasters and postal
employes must “carefully refrain
from engaging in pernicious polit
ical activity during the pending po
litical campaign,” is issued by Post
master General Burleson.
The postmaster general circulated
a statement just issued by the civil
service commission. This "warning”
from the commission, Mr. Burleson
says, is being sent to every postoffice
and every postal employe throughout
the country.
In warning both presidential ap
pointees and employes of the feleral
government that political activity is
forbidden, the civil service commis
sion says:
“Presidential appointees- are forbid
den by sxatute to use their official
authority or influence to coerce the
political actions of any person or
body, to make any contribution for a
political object to any other officer
of the. United States, or to solicit or
receive contributions for political
purposes from other federal officers
or employes, or to discriminate
among their employes or applicants
for political reasons.
“Otherwise, presidential appointees
will be allowed to take such a part
in political campaigns as is taken
by any private citizen, except that
they must not use their offices to
control political movements, must
not neglect their public duties, must
not cause public scandal by their
activity.
“Competitive employes, while re
taining the right to vote and to ex
press privately their opinions on po
litical subjects, are, forbidden to take
an active part in political manage
ment or in political campaigns.
“This also applies to temporary
employes, employes on leave of ab
sence with or without pay, substi
tutes and laborers. Political activity
in city, county, state or national elec
tions, whether primary or regular,
on behalf of any party or candidate,
or any measure to be voted upon, is
prohibited.
“Employes are accountable for po
litical activity by persons other than
themselves, including wives or hus
bands, if in fact the employes are
thus accomplishing by collusion and
indirectly what they may not do
lawfully directly or openly.
"Political activity in fact, regard
less of the methods or means used
by the employe, constitutes the vio
i lation.”
Under daily fire, the relief workers
protected the orphans until June 9,
when Armenian troops from Hadjin
defeated the Turks and captured the
orphanage. The Armenians took the
orphans to Hadjin despite the pro
tests of the Americans, who had
hoped to persuade the Nationalists
to take the orphans to a safer place
than Hadjin, which was short of food
and ammunition and could not resist
the Nationalists long.
After the Armenians withdrew with
the orphans the Americans were in
grave danger, as many of the Nation
alist leaders believed the Americans
had helped the Armenian military
effort.
Hadjin was under bombardment of
the Nationalists for several days. En
ver Bey, in his gratitude to Miss
Super, persuaded his associates not
to fire on the buildings occupied by
the Americans.
The Nationalists took the Ameri
qans into their camp and gave them
every comfort. They provided mules
to carry the relief workers to

HARDING TO HAVE
NO SET POLICY ON
LEAGUE QUESTION
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.)
MARION, 0., July 27. —Senator
Harding would, if elected president,
favor the revision of the treaty of
Versailles so that reservations to
the League of Nations desired not
only by the United States but by
other nations might be agreed upon.
Indeed, he thinks the covenant ought
to be revised.
In explaining his views to the
writer, the Republican candidate
repudiated the inference that he
would eliminate the entire treaty of
Versailles including the covenant
from consideration.
He declared that, of course, the
original structure would be used as
a basis for remodeling and revision.
Ha was inclined to believe the na
tions of Europe would be as glad to
be rid of article ten as would the
United States under a Republican
administration, but fundamentally
Mr. Harding means to approach the
other nations of the world and ne
gotiate an understanding that pre
serves the independence and sov
ereignty of the United States and
at the same time asks for no privi
lege that America, on her part, is
not willing to grant to other nations.
No Definite Progwam .
This may lead possibly to negotia
tions between the United States and
the allies and Germany with the de
layed ratification of the treaty of
Versailles offering the opportunity
for revision of the document itself
for which so many factions among
the signatory nations have been
clamoring.
Os course, Mr. Harding does not
intend to tie himself up to a definite
program either now or if he is
elected. The world situation is
changing so rapidly that he believes
it both unnecessary and superflu
ous to chart a course now that may
be entirely altered by the time a
new president of the United States
,is inaugurated.
For the present Senator Harding
is concerned with the division in the
ranks of Republicanism which grew
out of the fight in the senate be
tween the "bitter-enders” like Sena
tors Johnson and Borah and the
"mild-reservationists” and the Lodge
reservationists. Senator Harding
tried in his speech of aceptance to
avoid the details of a program, rath
er being content to state a broad
policy of preserved nationality on the
one hand with assured keeping of
the American conscience for our
selves which, he believes, inspired
all the opposition in the senate, and,
on the other hand, “to assure the
world of American readiness to do
our part in promoting international
peace through justice rather than
force.”
The League Question
Really, there might be as much em
barrassment to Senator Harding in
coming out flatly for the Lodge
reservations as there would be in
saying at this time that no part of
the treaty of Versailles could be util
ized to carry out the platform pledges
of the Republican party, which favor
“a” League of Nations of certain
principles. The time may come when
with certain safeguards and amend
ments accepted by Europe that “the”
League of Nations may satisfy all
the requirements set forth in the
platform of “a” League of Nations.
Senator Harding would find it nec
essary if elected to deal concretely
with the treaty of Versailles, as all
but four nations —Russi.*, Turkey,
Mexico and the United States—either
are parties to the treaty or members
of the present League of Nations. To
say now that he will stand on the
Lodge reservations would be to com
mit himself to a program of re
strictions upon the power of a presi
dent to conduct foreign policy, which
might prove awkward for even a Re
publican president.
The original set of Lodge reserva
tions voted on in November, 1919,
were much less difficult than those
adopted in the following spring. In
the effort to circumscribe the power
of Woodrow Wilson, some of the
senators forgot for the moment that
a Republican president some day
might be charged with the responsi
bility of foreign policy and would
find himself powerless, especially if
congress were not in session.
Position of Coolidge
Now at heart, Senator Harding
would be found demanding changes
in the league covenant very similar
to those which he voted for in the
senate and he fe<jls very strongly
that Atricle X., in its present form,
can be eliminated without breaking
the heart of Europe. Moreover, he
doesn’t anticipate serious objection
to the equalization of voting power
in the assembly of the league.
However, details are not being
preached at this time. The import
ant thing is that ultimately the treaty
of Versailles would be the basis for
the negotiations of the new under
standing and relationship with Eu
rope, to which Mr. Harding referred
in his speech of acceptance.
It will be noted also that Governor
Coolidge, the Republican candidate
for vice president, shows the way to
ward the ratification of the present
treaty, with proper reservations. This
speech must have been made with
the knowledge and approval of the
Republican candidate for the presi
dency.
Senator Johnson’s destructive criti
cism has been heeded, but Senator
Harding plainly intends to offer a
constructive substitute and fulfill the
pledge to civilization which America
made during the war—to participate
in a serious effort to form a concert
of nations to maintain the peace of
the world.

Os Mrs. Slavicek; Her Age Is 43
There was an old lady who lived in a

She had so many children she didn’t
know what to do.
But she couldn’t have had as many

In twenty-six years Mrs. Slavicek,
forty-three, has brought twenty-five
children into this old world.
Os course, children take up a moth

hardly leave a margin for sleep. It’s
just about a morning’s work to scrub
the little faces and divide up shoes,
not allowing for squabbles over
missing stockings.
In the meantime the importance of

Makes Money by Yelling
After complaints had been received
at several police stations, a hunt was
begun in Harlem yesterday for a
man who has been getting money
just by yelling for it. The police
believe that he has been making
about S3O a day, and easily could
make more if he wasn’t too lazy.
His method is to ring the bell of
one tenant after another in an apart
ment house and yell up the dumb
waiter shaft that the laundry is ready
and Is $2.46 or $3.17, or some such
convincing sum, which is almost cer
tain to bring a $5 bill to be changed.
The man who yelled for his money
never made any change nor did he
deliver any laundry. By the time
tenants got suspicious he had dis
appeared. Five tenants at 555 West
One Hundred and Eighty-sixth street
were yelled out of $5 apiece yester
day.
FORMERPALMER
LEADER INDORSES
SENATOR SMITH
J. E. Sheppard, of Americus, one
of the most prominent lawyers of
southwest Georgia, and former in
fluential state legislator from Sum

nal, urges that Senator Hoke Smith
should be returned to the senate
without opposition.
Mr. Sheppard was among the lead
ers in the Palmer campaign in the
recent presidential preferential pri
mary. His letter advocating Sena
tor Smith's re-election indicates that
many prominent Georgians, who
were otherwise aligned in the pref

senator as a candidate to succeed
himself.
Mr. Sheppard’s letter follows:

platform in its claim of credit for
the party names four measures
which were the work of Senator
Smith. . , , x, ,
But with all his legislative work
he has had time to watch and take
care of every interest which would
serve his constituents. He has been
able, faithful and tireless where they
were concerned.
Georgia needs Hoke Smith in the
senate. The Democratic party needs
him and a majority of the men I
meet, who voted for Palmer, will vote
to keep him there no matter who else
are candidates. We roally feel he

Adrift 58 Hours at Sea
NEW YORK, N. Y—After fifty
eight hours adrift at sea In an open
motor boat that had run out of gaso
line, four New York young women
have been rescued.
The girls are Sophy Schlansky, 17;
Lillian and Marguerite Rubar, 17 and
18 respectively, and Annette Paulet.
They left Rockaway Beach on a trip
to New Brunswick, N. J„ expecting
to make the voyage in a day.
They were careful to stock the
motor boat with plenty of provisions,
but never thought to look in the
gasoline tank. When they were well
off shore the engine stopped. The
gasoline tank was empty.
The girls then began their fifty
e’ght hour drift that ended when
they were sighted and picked up by
another motorboat.
MEM KILLING
IISEHLOMEI
Says Drug is Mercury and
Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver
Dodson is making a hard fight
against calomel in the South. Every
druggist has noticed a great falling
off in the sale of calomel. They all
give the same reason. Do<ss»x’'s
Liver Tone is taking its place-'
“Calomel is dangerous and peopl
know it, while Dodson’s Liver Ton"
is perfectly safe and gives better re B
suits,” saiii a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson’s Liver Tone is per
sonally guaranteed by every drug
gist. A large bottle costs but a few
cents, and if it fails to give easy re
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipat
ed bowels. It doesn’t gripe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take a dose of cal
omel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don’t
lose a day’s work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine,
full of vxigor and ambition.—(Advt.)

How to Treat
A Torpid Liver
The liver is the largest and most
important organ in the body, and
when the liver refuses to act, it
causes constipation, biliousness,
headaches, indigestion, gas, sour
stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and’ under ribs o' l
right side. These symptoms lead to
colds, influenza or other serious
troubles unless corrected immediate
ly.
An Inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys,, which over
taxes them and causes the blood to
absorb and carry Into the system the
impurities that the liver and kidneys
have failed to eliminate.
When you treat the liver alone,
you treat only > a third of your
trouble, and that is why you have to
take purgatives every few nights.
Calomel or other ordinary laxatives
do not go far enough. If you would
treat your kidneys and blood while
treating the liven you would put
your entire system in order and fre
quent purgatives would then be un
necessary.
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important
facts, and after much study and
research, compounded what is now
known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Liver,
Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in one. This
was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip
tion for many years, being used by
his patients with marked success.
It is a harmless vegetable remedy
that will not make you sick, and
you may eat anything you like
while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your
druggist or dealer for 25m under his
personal guarantee that ft will give
relief, tone up the liver, stimulate
the kidneys to healthy action and
thereby purify the blood. Keep it in
the home for ready use whenever
any member of the family begins
to feel “out of sorts.” It will prove
a household friend and valuable
remedy.— (Advt.)
