TWO AMERICAN PLAN FOR ARBITRATION i Lansing Proposes Convention Among All Western Republics WOULD ELIMINATE BOUNDARY WARS i i | And Also Prevent Supply of Arms t- Revolutionaries i in war. / ' | Washington.?Secretary Lansing has suggests d to ail vhe nations which. ( with the United States, eon'prise the Pan American Union, that they join in a convention for tlie arbitration of all boundary line disputes and for the prohibition of shipments of war munitions to revolutionaries. Secretary Lansing' proposal, which has the full support of President Wil-j son, is being forwarded by the LatinAmerican ambassadors and ministers here *o their home foreiirn office for1 consideration. It is regarded as one of the steps in a wide plan, in which the Pan-Amcrican Scientific Congress' now in session here is a part for preservation of peace on the western hemisphere and a closer union of all the Americas. The status of the negotiations and' the details of Secretary Lansing's pro ocol o Uol / I oe wlon tin I ct JL V i i ^ uv Ml uo v v? i a \ a i v i between the State Departmnt and the Mr. Lansing today declined entirely to discuss any phase and the diplomats uniformly declared they could not discuss a matter which was in its preliminary stage and under consideration by their home foreign offices. It became known, however, that soon after Secretary Lansing delivered his Pan-American unity speech before the scientific congress in which he advocated a Pan-American "one for a!! and all for one," he began inviting the Latin-American representatives to the State Department two at a time and outlining to them his proposal. At the same time, it is un-J derstood, the secretary's public declaration which had attracted much favorj able attention among the Latin-Am-1 ericans because of its suggestion that all the Pan-American nations, should if necessary, constitute a united bulwark against any unjust invasion or aggression upon a neighbor, was discussed in some detail, and uniformly,} it is understood, the Latin-American} expressed their approbation of Mr., Lar.sing's ?tatcments. The technical form in which the new proposal was made was not disclosed today but there are indications! that it took the usua' form of a mem-! oranduni to the diplomats and was in such official form as could he trans-' mined t<> their home governments as the basis for action. Ore of the first elements of the pro posal which has for 'one of its ulli- 1 mate objects the welding of a thor- j om?hl v nnif^wi a - * ?v<ii<vv\i -inivi u'?i, iiiic preservation of peace on the American con- ! tinrnt. It is realized that the chief ! menaces to such a peace are boundary,! disputes and revolutionary activity, jIt is pointed out that if all boundary!, disputes lire removed to the realm of , arbitration, and all the Pan-American ; nations bind themselves to arbitration eace would practically be assured , p '. 1 m the attention of all the American < an _ . ons could be devoted to what Sec-' v I ret.it v ^ansinK expressed in his: speeci as ol,t their destinies. ^jan ' of Mr. Lansings declarations ^ to the p an-American congress took on _ , , , . nificance today in the light added sir , , . . \ . v . nosals to tho Latin-Amcri-' of his prOj can republic S ' cent years," said he, "theW ltnm n . i- ;4 , , has iound no occasion,1 t oned States .. 4| .1 ? ?,? 4l tion of the vonezuian: with the exceTi . y . . , .

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous linings of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and (mless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed fore/er; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hails Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, f roe. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.
