This is vastly more important because tho skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do. For every ounce of food and drink taken into tho stomach, nearly an ounce of waste, material must be car-ried out of tho body. If this waste materiel is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body.

January Jl The latest informationn obtained by agents of the Allied Intelligence Department and from prisoners has developed a number of facts about the personnel and organization of tho Bol-shevikl on the north Russian front. This information Indicates that the Allied and American troops ore now opposed by a force which, -while not of high morale, is at least fairly well organized and olllcered, not by Germans as at the commencement of operations, but for tho main part by former Russian and Lettish otllcers of considerable training.

He made a plea for the co-operation of the entire country In spreading to tho alien population of the country tho spirit and the truths of Americanism and in ending literacy among the native-born adult population.

For the first time in the history of the country, the Secretary declared, Americanization and tho education of native illiterates is to be concentrated under the Bureau of Kducation of the Department of the Interior, the Americanization work of which is under the direction of F. C. Butler. The Department of the Interior will seek to take advantage of the hundred and one individual agencies heretofore engaged in Americanization work and will seek to co-ordinato as a Government function with the co-operation 01" all these agencies, the vital task of Americanization. There have already been classified 2.400 communities throughout the I'nited States in which aliens to the number of 500 or more are resident, and it is the community work upon which tho SecreUiry relies.

"We have come to talk together, as Americans, to find out how there might be made n. greater America, a nobler America." said Secretary Lane. "We seo clearly now what we have not so clearly seen before, that a democracy must have a self-protecting sense, as well as a creative spirit. We have lived in tho full expression of the most liberal and idealistic political philosophy. There has been nothing of paternalism in our government.

We have conceived it to be our hip privilege to open this continent to 't to who come seeking the cers and battalion and company leaders many otllcers of the former Russian Emperor's army, who were either as their physical condition permitted. rorceu to serve on pain of death or imprisonment, or who are serving for him with violating the espionage law by entering the country on a falso pass port.

A testimonial dinner was given last evening by the Writers' Club of Brooklyn nt the Hotel Bossert to Henry Cliflon Jahne, its ex-presldent, and Col. Franklin P. Sellers, the new President for 1919.

A welcoming address was made by Mrs. A. B. Anderson. A short program followed.

Somo original humor by Miss Josephine Libby was enjoyed, and so also were "Dear Old Pal o' Mine," "A Message," and "The Owl," sung by Miss Mario Cordes, mezzo soprano.

Tho club presented a gift to Mr. Jahne, us a token of its appreciation. Miss Anne M. Tuttle, treasurer, made the presentation speech. Sho explained that her topic, "How Shall We Best Express Ourselves," was purposely misleading, as It was not wished that Mr.

Jahne should know beforehand of the gift. She said a few words lauding the work done by tho former president. He then mado a short speech, going over the work of tho club during the past year. Col. Sellers said but a few words.

"I have been Hi for more than a month and there is only one thing which could have brought me out tonight, and that is this testimonial dinner." he said. "I appreciate greatly the honor conferred upon me in making me president of the Writers Club."

"Reconstruction; Telegraph and Telephone Lines; What of Tho.tr Future" received tho most attention from the thrco speakers of national nolo, who In turn took advantage of tlie occasion to enter into a spirit of vicing to excel the other In scathing denunciation of the Administration and its methods. To Judgo from tho applause of the Republicans present that greeted the speakers when a stressed argument against Government ownership was brought out tho Republican party will undoubtedly oppose the present administration using this movement as a means of counter attack, said tt member of tho club after the meeting. Mr.

ltei nobis said in part: "The real problem facing us today is not so much whether Government ownership is a good thing or not, but ruther whether the Government can seizo privately-owned telegraph and cable lines without properly paying for them. If that can bo dono in the case of the telegraphs and the owners of tho property have no redress except through the Court of Claims, no business is safe. The American people will not stand for strong-arm methods. If the telegraph is not kept free from political domination the freedom now enjoyed by the press will be lost. As a practical telegraph man 1 want to say to you, gentlemen, that an absolute censorship can be and will be maintained over private telegrams If tho telegraphs are placed under political controland I do not care what anybody says to the contrary.

I know the possibilities. In the heat of a political campaign under Government management tho party In control would have the power and opportunity to censor tho telegrams of tho committees of the opposing party. Says Public Does Not Want I'nited States Ownership. "Tho public is not asking the Government to take over the telegraphs. In fact, they are opposed to it, and It should not be forced upon them to gratify the ambitions of any man or set of men, or in the interest of any political parly.

Those who use the telegraphs are willing to pay and should pay for the service they receive. "Tho recent statement of the Fost-niaster General that ho could purchase tho private wire companies and pay for them In about twenty years out of the profits Is ridiculous. He does not know what ho is talking about when ho makes such a statement as that. "The talk about equipping the wires with automatic apparatus and thus handling the tratllc at a greatly reduced cost is as absurd as other statements made by the udvocatcs of Government ownership." George II. Roberts, assistant to the president of the National City Bank, and formerly director of the Mint at Washington, spoke on the general qualifications of the Government for industrial or commercial operation.

The extensions niado by the Government ill this regard should be along the lines of supervision and cautious regulation, he said, and not in vast business, undertakings that it Is contemplating. Day of Mossback Gone, Says Scllg-mait. Professor Edward R. A. Seligman of the School of Political Science, Columbia University, followed Mr.

Roberts, and. although he said thot he was not in favor of Government ownership at present, he believed that Its realization in the near future must be met by its opponents with a far-sighted and receptive mind. "Tho problem," he said, "is much more complex than Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Roberts has presented it.

Great changes are bound to tako placo in tho period of construetlou that we have just entered, and must be accepted us a natural growth of a democratic nation. The day of the moss-back nnd the reactionary Is over. "Tho fact that thn Government will undergo a loss in ils enterprises will by no means prevent tho people from sacrificing elliciency for convenience and service. To the people it Is not a question of cost, but a balance of advantages to ensue. The problem Is not only of smoothing out the railroad lines of the nation, but also such messs as' the lnterborough and B.

R. T. railways. "I feel finally convinced that if Mr. McAdoo's plan of live-year control by the Government Is accepted by Congress, the temporary ownership will become permanent.

We must be ready to nccept this coming change in good faith." Anion L. Squicrs of Brooklyn presided during tho discussion. FKD, THK.V JHKU AS VAGI! ANT.

Let us keep our hands off, let each man go his own way. let all things be thought, said and done which each may choose to think or say or do, and sooner or later, by the conflict of minds and acts, truth will prevail. Wo know there is no such thing as Americanism, unless Americanism is in our souls." In ndditioji to the secretry's announcement.

Arthur S. Somers, president of the Hoard of F.ducatiou, stated that, as a result of a meeting hoiil during the week at Teachers College, definite steps would be immediately taken In this city to utilize all its educational facilities toward the purpose in view. As preliminary step, he said, tho Speycp' School wjnn-hl be devoted to special experimentation and to practical work along the line Indicated by Secretary Lane as desirable, but still more important, the effort would at once be made, through the public schools and to provide the opportunity for the foreign of New York to embrace advantages not hitherto placed at their disposal in non-school hours. This departure W'ill begin at the beginning, with tho children, who will be organised in various activities calculated to' broaden their knowledge, to shorten-their hours of Idleness and to siibstithto for these idle hours educational American teachings nntl occupations. The effort will also bo made to amplify the opportunities' for adulls to obtain, in evening schools or otherwise, a broader knowledge, of the language, of the Ideals and of the principles of the American people.

Georgo Gordon Unttle, Dr. John Willis Slaughter and Mr. Warburg, who presided at the dinner, laid special emphasis in their nddresses on the value of the Community councils and the work these councils are to do. It was explained that tho Community Council is by no means a counterpart of the Community Center, but that it Is primarily the effort to start from the ground up. to nsoertuin from the people themselves, their aspirations, needs and dllllcultles, so that these may be met.

lienn Itussell of Tenrhers College who was not upon tho announced list of speakers was called upon by Mr. Warburg and outlined the effort educators are to make In co-operating with the other groups whoso interest in Americanization is so keen. Mr. Warburg gave these groups as four separate and distinct ones: namely, the National Americanization Com Rivals in Jersey Senate Agree; Deadlock Broken Vaga Hiver, in the direction of Shon-kursk. Its General lleadquarteirs Is at t'lesetskaya and it is commanded by a former lieutenant, named Lengov-sky.

This group is composed of about 6,500 men, mostly conscripts, with a few Letts and sailors manning the heavy guns. The headquarters of the third group is located at. Krasnoborsk and it consists of 5,300 men, operating between the Dvina, the l'lnrga and Mezen rivers. Its commander, Gekkar, was a lieutenant 'in thenhl army. Its.

first; line positions on the Dvina aro-under command of a private soldier named Ilaradulin. This group includes some 200 Chinese and a few men of other nationalities, but its makeup is mostly Russian. Tho fourth group, with headquarters at Vyatka, lire reserve troops, acting as a buffer between the Allies in tho north and the Szechs on the east. lt numbers about 8.000 men, mostly in training. The officers of these forces nre being constantly changed, the otiicor in command ono day being arrested the next day on suspicion of counter-revolutionary tendencies.

The sailors in particular seem to be deserting the cause. They were it strongest, advocates at the beginning. Five hundred of them are known to have been taken recently to Vologda under arrest. The Bolshevik army displays strange contlict tendencies, sometimes lighting bravely nnd at others fleeing without tiring a shot. The soldiers nro now receiving an average of two pounds of bread daily, about ono pound, of meat or fish and also sufficient sugar and tea.

Prisoners say that the Bolshevik troops are the only people in the interior of Russia receiving enough to rat, and that the majority of the conscripts Join the army to escape starvation. REV.
