LA PAZ, December 19.—The foreign office last night made public its note o Secretary Kellogg as president of the Pan-American Conference in Washing- Lo: accepting the good offices of that ‘The note read: “This is to say that the Bolivian | government accepts the good offices of the conference for conciliation and arbitration over which you preside. “In this regrettable conflict created by the unjustified aggression on the part of Paraguay the Bolivian government limits itself to the stand imposed by the unescapable necessity to protect her dignity and sovereignty and to con- form to the most rigid principles of international practice. “Bolivia has not mobilized her army, as the conference knows. Paraguay after attacking Bolivia and for the purpose of minimizing the gravity of their offense immediately took recourse to - and solicited application of the Gondra pact, which had not been ratified by Bolivia and which it was not possible to ncoes)t because of the serious crisis in public opinion in my qQuntry caused by that act of violence. “On entering upon your good offices, Bolivia requires that you investigats in the first place the attack on Fort Vanguardia without involving in the preliminary inquiry the questions at the bottom of the dispute, which have been intrusted ‘to arbitration within the procedure established by the Argentine suggestion of December, 1927, and which was accepted by both countries. “My government has expressed to President Yrigoyen of Argentina respect for his good offices for the purpose of renewing efforts for a settlement of the dispute between Bolivia and Paraguay. “Bolivia accepts the good offices of the Conference for Conciliation and Ar- bitration, renders homage to the spirit of the Americas and reiterates her ad- hesion to the principles of justice which inspired her conduct and policy. “(Signed.) THOMAS MANUE ELIO, “Foreign Minister.” ‘The foreign office last night officially informed President Briand of the Coun- cil of the League of Nations of Bolivia’s acceptance of the good offices of the pan-American conference and reiterat- ed her intention to conform with in- ternational obligations. The note said: “I have the honor to inform your excellency that in accord with the lofty suggestions from the League Council, the Bolivian govern- ment has accepted the good offices of- fered by the Conference for Concilia- tion and Arbitration meeting in Wash- ington. “Bolivia begs leave to point out the constancy with which once more she maintains her loyal submission to in- ternational pacts. In accepting the good offices of the Washington confer- ence she will request, in the first place, an investigation of the attack on Fort Vanguardia, without taking up the fundamental questions at the bottom of the dispute. These are being sub- mitted to arbitration on concretely de- fined points. “My government has declared con- stantly, and reiterates now, that her attitude has not provoked conflict and has been maintained within the most severe standards of international law. “(Signed) TOMAS MANUEL ELIO, “Foreign Minister.” Acceptances of mediation followed closely on Bolivia’s notification to the League that the commander of her frontier forces had been ordered to cease attacks and not to advance.

The foreign minister, however, informed the diplomatic representatives of other countries that the troops guarding the disputed district of Gran Chaco had been ordered to suspend operations. He said that this order was in line with Bolivia’s acceptance of the good offices of the Pan-American conference, which is meeting in Washington. The popular funds being collected for national defense were growing steadily. Railway men banded together to raise funds to bwy airplanes for the army. The La Paz Chamber of Commerce was co-operating with the government and helping to control prices and avoid speculation in foodstuffs, Three political exiles were returning to take posts in the government and this action was regarded as showing the unity of the country in the face of the [emergency. Demetrio Canelas will be- come minister of education, Ricardo Martinez Vargas will become minister of war, and Daniel Salmanaca will be- come adviser to the government. ‘The Bolivian note accepting the good offices of the Pan-American Conference pointed out, that Bolivia had not mobilized heér army in the emergency.

Schwartz, assistant health officer of the District, showing that 893 lives were saved in Washing- ton during 1927 as a result of im- proved treatment of tuber culosis, day by officials of the Washington ‘Tuberculosis Asso- clation as evidence of the successful ;nhangg in which e disease cal handled if suMcient funds are lVBi}llbblg. The figures show that the local Health Department recorded last year the death of 515 persons from tubercu- guay, various popular movements for [ losis, a rate of 95.6 per 100,000 popula- tion, as compared with 87 per 100,000 for the whole country. Of these tuber- culosis deaths in Washington, 207 were of the white race and 308 of the col- ored. Had the death rate prevailing in 1900 held true in 1927, 1,408 persons would have died of the malady. This, it is held, represents an actual saving of 893 lives in 1927. This saving of life is sald to have re- sulted in a large measure from the money realized on the sale of Christ- mas th seals. The receipts from the seals yesterday, however, showed a falling off compared with previous flnljl, the association announced.

Pope Asks Bolivia And Paraguay to Avoid War Scourge By the Associated Press. ROME, December 19.—A letter which Pope Pius sent to the Presidents of Bolivia and Para- guay in_connection with his re- cent efforts looking toward a peaceful solution of their border dispute was made public today. It read: “News which has reached us from .the two republics has pro- foundly afflicted us because it makes us unfortunately fear that solution of the conflict may be entrusted to arms. “As the representative on earth or Him who with His advent brought peace among men of good will and as the spiritual father of both peoples, both very dear to us, we appeal to your Christian sentiments and those of your government and people to do everything in your power in order to spare your countries and humanity the scourge of war, of which it is always difficult to measure the consequences. “In this sense we pray and and will pray to the Almighty, 4nd it is with this wish that we send to you and your entire people our paternal benediction. “(Signed) PIUS XI.” GUESTS OF ALUMNI.

Breakfast Orange Juice —Marvellous Opportunity No age limit on success if you keep fit PEDPLE used to think that if you passed up one chance to make good, you'd never have another. That if you hadn’t made your mark by the time you were 40, you mever would. “That's all bunk,” people say today. There's many a man who'll tell you he was past 50 when he made his first big success. Their experience runs something like this. « | “I'd been going through life, always just missing out on everything. Worked like a dog, too. But never scemed to get anywhere. *“It was a doctor who put me wise to myself. Told me not to blame it on Tuck. That the trouble was with me —right inside myself. . *‘He recommended Nujol. I took it for three months. Never missed a day. And, say, I began to feel like 2 younger brother myself. Decided there was life in the old dog yet. Still time to make good. When my big chance came, I was all ready, waiting to grab it." Nujol keeps your body functioning just as Nature meant it to, under all conditions. It's a purc substance that works normally and naturally. It not only keeps an excess of body poisons from forming (we all have them) but aids in their removal. These than once at everyone’s door knocks more! poisons drag you down, slow you up mentally and physically, dull your whole outlook on life, make you half-hearted. Buy a bottle of Nujol today. Your druggist carries it. Perfected by the Nujol Laboratorics, 26 Broadway, | New York. In scaled packages only. Take it regularly for the next three months. It can’t possibly upset or | disagree with you (for it contains absolutely no medicine or drugs). And if you're like everyone else it will do you a lot of good. A bottle of Nujol costs no more than a couple of good cigars. Aren't you willing to bet that much on yourself? —Advertisement PLAY IS PRESENTED. .

Even then, however, the arbitration would be limited to determining wheth- er the case had been fairly tried. In case a denial of justice was found to exist, only then would the case itself become arbitral matter. If no denial of justice should exist the action of the national courts would be final.

In case of failure to agree, the draft adds that the procedure specified in the Hague convention of 1907 for the selection of a tribunal will be invoked. TEN BAREFOdT CONVICTS | HUNTED BY BLOODHOUNDS | Twelve Escape Dark Cell in Texas. One Refuses to Go Because of Bad Weather. / By the Assoclated Press. BRAZORIA, Tex., December 19.— Ten barefooted convicts were trying to elude bloodhounds and armed guards in the Brazos River bottoms near here today after a break from the dark cell at Clemens State Prison Farm. Twelve of 13 convicts confined in the dark cell cut their way through the roof and escaped last night. The thir- teenth refused to accompany the others, because, he told the farm manager, the “weather was too bad.” Two convicts were recaptured early today. ‘The break was discovered at 5 o'clock this morning. The convicts were placed in the dark- cell for punishment and their shoes taken away from them. Farm officlals felt certain that the men could not have gone far from the farm, as their progress barefooted would be extremely difficult in the under- brush of the river bottoms. of Here, in Washington’s larg- ‘We have the organization to Cream M Other Give him a box of Interwoven So | Christmas to be given!
