Replies to Sam Gompers
New York I'ostmastor General Bur

declared Charles Johnson Post, director
of the Publiaherr' Advisory Board, yes

him today by the postmaster general.
"In that portion of his statement where
he attempts to devote jt to argument.
Burleaon rambles In the twilight grave
yard of verities," said Post.
"When Burleson attempts to denounce
re ’true' lies’ the charge that the j»ost -

The average person greatly ovn

hearty dessert, too tempting to refuse.
And that is often the final straw.
Jiffy-Jell supplies ;i dessert which
is healthful and enticing, yet ft does

dessert is formed by u little pe hit die.
sweetened and acidulated, dissolved in
« pint of water. The flavor is n fryit
juice essence made from the fruit it
self
A frw r years ago a large wholesale
grocery house in New York discon
tinued the hale of nit so-called fruit
flavors save lemon and orange The
reason given was that other fruit, fla
vors could not be manufactured, ho
synthetic ethers, etc had to he sub

Hut the makers of Jiffy-Jell have
found n way to supply these trite-fruit
flavors. They make them by conden

Thus Jiffy-Jell is bringing to mil

Mr McCann says that Jiffy-Jell has

Wtihlnoton.—BnforcSmeftt of national

Attorney-General Palmer, in a state

te.rm* it becomes my duty to see that it

prosecution of such persons hh violate

sorted that he possessed no j»oWer to
grant amnesty to anyone who • might

of alroh'd constituent, brink's beer withTil
the meaning of the prohibition act.
The statement ot the attorney general
definitely settled the question of the
agency to fake tip the enforcement of
the act which arose when Commissioner
of Intecn&l Revenue Roper lei If. be

funds nor a alafT available for carrying

After Himerting that *iierc "has t»r-cn a
good deal of misunderstanding of the
plans and purposes of the department of
Justice" with respect, to enforcement of
♦he jict, and that under Its terms It Is
the duty of his department to enforce
the prohibition law, Mr. Palmer In his
statement said:
"It is rriy duty to do this without any
regard whatever for rny own. opinion as
to the wisdom or unwisdom of the h-gts
lation, which is a. matter eflHteiy for
the congress. There has naturally been
some diSC*-c«nce of opinion as to the
proper construction of the act. but the
Anal word with reaped to i»s interpre

"All the question* involved In thg In

I Was glad tr» co-operate with ibe attor

expedite that case to tin authoritative

proper construction of the law may be

SECRET TREATY PROVISIONS THAT ARE AT THE
ROOT OF THE CRISIS AT THE PARIS CONFERENCE
Italian Claims to Fiume Would, if Granted, Sow the Seeds of
Trouble and Implant Discontent Among the Jugo-Slavs.
BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.
(Copyright. 1119. by Public Ledger »‘o
The peace treaty with Austria-
Hungary is delayed by the eontro
versy over the disposition of the port
of Flume, near the head of the Ad
riatic. When the war broke out in
l&H the entente allies and Germany
wooed Italy Intensively to induce her
*o join their respective sides. The
obligations of the Triple Alliance had
not b'-en made public, hut It was
understood that Italy was hound to
leftd her aid to Austria and Germany
in case of a war in which they were
On the defensive. Italy positively in
sisted that this was not such a war
and ho maintained her neutrality for
a time. Then «he was induced by
promises of the entente Great
Britain, Ifrance and Russia, to de
clare war on Austria and subsequent
ly against Germany. Her course was
criticised as one wholly Influenced
by greed of territory. Th treaty.by
which she became an ally or France
and Great Britain was secret, but
enough wag known to enable Italy's
critics to a\cr that i; wan the con
summation of a successful bid. Ital> a
defenders met these attacks by show
ing that she was entitled under the
treaty to be Consulted before Aus
tria attacked Serbia and by rfveal
mjf the bad faith of Germany and
Austria in Italy’s war with Turkey
and their secret aid to the sultan.
This aroused sympathy with Italy,
and It was assumed fthat the heart
cry of the Irredentists for a restora
tion of Italy'q territory everywhere
had been satisfied by an agreement
that Arentino and Trieste should be
come her*.
It now appears that Flume and the
Dalmatian coast were also included in
what was promised Italy. Italians
perhaps formed a majority of the In
habitants of Fiume, but It Is arid has
been for years la Croatian city n is
and has be**n always the port by
which the solidly Flav population In
the country behind th. «ity reach
the sea
lialv seeks to push the principle of
self-determination too t.. ( The unit
of population on which the majority
ih to determine tin* nation s control
should include the port and the back
public opinion of the frilled States
country with which the port is united
and Which has also served the ample
port of Tiientc, with which Flume
expects to monopolize the trade of
Adriatic coast.
I'nlcss Some explariaiion is made.
Italy's insiatertce will tend to revive
the charge that greed was her chief
motive In (his war Italy relies on
the Sfecfet treaty With th- entente
allies. But the united States was not
a party to the treaty. Our entrance
Into th* war was accompanied bv a
declaration in favor of only just re
stitution of territory and upon the
assumption, often stated, that It was
not a war of conquest bv :he allies
The tArrns of the armistice foils wed
these lines. We have a right, there
fore, to insist the treaty which we
have to sign and to help enforce
Mali ri6f I»e nflY-htAd bv a treaty to
Which we w-rc not a party, which, is
inconsistent with our purpose in th#*
war and Which will no! make for
permanent peace
Secret treaty Provisions ih rayor of
Bngland and France arc understood
to hays been waived by those coun
tries in view of these circumstance*
If they are correctly stated, the

woula probably resist Orlando if the
latter yielded. The situation is there

break on such an issue Vrith the con
ference? One would think not. The
president would seem to be clearly
right in maintaining that at least
Fiume he made a free port for
Croatia as Danzig Js to be for Po

Ih- settlement, with palpable Injus

would return to plague Italy when
most inconvenient.

What is Spring Fever
It is simply lack of Energy and low Vitality caused
by impurities in the blood.
Grove's
Tasteless chill Tonic
restores Energy and Vitality by creating new healthy
blood. When you feel its strengthening, invigorating
effect, see how it brings color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then appreciate
its true tonic value.
GROVE’S TASTELESS Chill TONIC is not a patent
medicine. It is simply IRON and QUININE sus
pended in Syrup. So pleasant even children like it.
The Quinine and Iron does not dissolve in the syrup
and, therefore, does not make the syrup bitter. You 1
do not taste the bitter Quinine and you do not
taste the Iron because both are completely covered
»vith syrup when swallowed.
Your system needs Quinine to Purify the Blood and
Iron to Enrich it. These good old reliable tonic
properties never fail to drive out impurities in the
blood, and when you have rich, pure blood coursing
through your veins, you feel like running, jumping
and shouting. The Spring Fever soon disappears.
GROVE’S TASTELESS chill TONIC is acceptable
to the most delicate stomach and does not cause
nervousness or ringing in the head. Price 60c.
