To get his same genuine, world-- famous Aspirin, you must ask for "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin." marked with the "Bayer Cross." You will find safe and proper directions in every 'unbroken package. Handy tin boxes of 12 tablets cost only a few cents.

The historic littie oftice cubbyholes which witnessed the birth of the Grizzly Bear." -The Jolly Roll." -The Ja2z Baby" and "The Chicken Blues." give forth these days the soundslt of a lai.suorou eursrlinK of what i known in the trade as the "black and white stuff" the classy- music that sella fop CO cents a throw. The music oi jazi is embattled.

Almost to a man the local publishers stan.l with thumbs down to the torn torn ditties and the jungle iht sour notes and the shoulder twitching harmonies that have kept the Beeth-ovens and the Mozarts spinning in their graves ofr the last nine years. The S. O. S. is out for the "Love Me and the World Is Mine" school of ballad makers.

Like most everything else in! ihe world, the industrial situation is at Lhe of thu revoIutiou in the a few days spent in intimate confab with the gentry who compose, publish and market the Nation's sons hits, re-i veals a crisis in the trade. Jazz songs sti-1 ir.u--t for 10 cents the copy. It's a tradition that goes with jazz. And! in the meantime the' head; has been piling celebration oei: no blockade of Petrograd so far as the United States was concerned, no for the shipment of goods to Bosheviki Russia were being issued. This policy of non-i uercourse, he added could not be continued after the proclamation of peac" without additional legislation.

SHOULD CUT OFF FOOD. A further jn for the addition of this policy, Mr. Phillips -wrote, was the program of the to so manipulate the food supply as to bring about the extinction of the middle classes. Mr. Phillips wrote in reply to Senator Wadsworih, who had asked why the tiou had adopted a policy of aon-interc urse with that part of Russia controlled by the Bolshevik.

His letter follows: "In reply to yaur letter of October 20, concerning the so-called hlock- ace or ft -rograa. I Teg to inform you 5 of that, so far as the United States is concerned, no blockade exists. It is the present policy of this government, however, to refuse export licenses for sh'p-menls to Rusian territory under Bol- Phevik control and to refuse clearance papers to American vessels seeking to depart for Tetrograd, ing Bolshevi' As you are aware there measv after the there is "The ritory based cannot be continued t-ation of peace unless nonintercourse in ter-Blshevik control is on two considerations.

It is considered important that) the Bolshevik! should nt be given the means through commercial trans-j action to brins this gold into the i L'nited States, where it could be used to sustain their propaganda cf vio-i lence and unreason. FOOD DISCRIMINATION.

"The second consideration related tot the control which the Bolsheyikj ex- ercise over the distribution of necessi- I ties. All foreign trade has been 'na- I tionalizd." This means that there can! be no dealing except with the Bolshe- vik authorities. Moreover, since the fall of the Kolsheviki have main- Gained a system of discrimination in the distribution of food. The population is divided into categories along occupational and class lines, in accordance with a scale which is adjusted with a view to the maintenance of the Bolshevi ki ir power and the fulfillment of their program for the extinction of the. middle- class.

rTne rations iiven to the members of the Red army is estimated in the official Bolshevik gazetter of Febru- ary. WO. to he three times the aver- age for several categories of the' civil population. It has seemed al- tosrother inadmissable that food and other necessities of American origin should be allowed to become' the means of sustaining such a program of political oppression. "The government has not Deen unmindful of the material distress of many innocent people within the Bolshevik! lines.

An attempt was made last spring to -nrovide for the release of these people throne-h the roooeration of a neutral commission to be headed by Dr. Nan-sen. The project failed because the Bolshevik declined to agree to the cessation of hostilitiesi which was considered an indispensable" pre-re-quisite. The department of state has subsequently- studied other means by which necessities might be provided for the people of Central Russia without being used for purposes of political constraint and aso class deception. No feasible project has yet been found but the problem continues to receive attention.

PROVIDE FOR RELIEF. "In the meantime provision has been made for the immediate relief of the people in any areas which may be freed from Bolshevik control as a result of current military operations. Stores of food estimated to be adequate for the relief of Petrograd for nearly one month were delivered to Russians by the American Relief Administration and are now at Viborg. Finland, whence they can be transported to Petrograd whenever that city may come under the con- trol of authorities with whom it is pos- sible to deal. Detinite arrangements have, moreover, been made with the United States grain corporation to pro- vide further shipments of flour for this I region, in tne event oi its imerauon, and for the people in the north of Russia, which is under the conthol of a democratic government.

The territory, in which Is located the world's greatest 'jppiy of nitrate, since has been in dispute be- tween Chile and Ucru by reason of the failure to carry out provisions of the treaty between the two countries calling for a plebiscite in the provinces ten years after the ralitication of the treaty.

"Sixth, above all. the United States would impair its high standing of honor and dignity with our great ailies, who would resent the distrust shown them and the cowardice and unintelligent selfishness shown by our scuttling out of Europe and abandoning our allies in the great labor of restoring Europe to peace and to productivity and happiness.

Our prosperity is bound up with the prosperity of Europe and the world. We can trust to common sense and common honesty of mankind, and if we refuse we may expect the world to distrust and dislike us. Confidence must be based on mutual respect. With the hate of the Teutonic and allied people and the suspicion and dislike of the people lately associated with us, the position of the United States would be deplorable.

4. Japan, re- plying to a note from the American Government last September, regarding I conditions Siberia, had expressed willingness to co-operate with the Amer. icmi authorities, bo' military and ciril. in that country. This announcement was made today at the state department, hut the text of the Japanese reply wa3 withheld.

What plans were suggested either by the. American or Japanese government was not disclosed, nor was there any announcement as to whether the nego- t.iutioiv had been concluded. The American note was said io have Asserted frankly that unless effective co-orerjution could be arranged, the United States might feel obliged to withdraw its troops from Siberia and should this be decided upon the American Gov- eminent might feel compelled to public the reasons for the withdrawal. Press dispatches from Omsk today that Colonel George H. Emerson the American railway commission had ordered the withdrawal of the; Ameiican railway corps from Siberia to coincide with the evacuation of the Czecho-Slovakia for repatriation to Czecho-Slovakia November 1.

State department officials said these forces were not to be withdrawn. Methodists Take Gompers To Task Advise Bolshevists to Go Back to Europe or Liquor. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. The assertion of Samuel Gompers that prohibition was contributing to unrest in the United States was characterized as "not only unfortunate, but deserving of rebuke," in a statement issued here today by the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Church.

"Radicalism in England and France and throughout 'the continent of Europe," the statement said, "is very much more rife than it is in America. despite the floods of alcohol. Bolshe-! vism is a thing of saloons, barrel houses and slums: prohibition is the product of schools, churches and homes. "All America concedes everything possible to labor and labor's leaders," the statement added, "but Mr. Compters is not the uncrowned king of this country.

If it is true that foreign born laborers are rebellious against the country because of prohibition, it may be said that the country is not being run entirely for their benefit. If they do not like the way-things are being done let them go back to Kurope." Sims Given Free Rein In Writing Daniels Rejects Sinn Fein Request to Discipline. Nov. 4. Secretary Daniels Indicated today that no steps were contemplated to discipline Rear Admiral Sims because of statements in recently published articles detailing the admiral's experiences in Europe during the war.

Iianiel Connell, director of the Irish national bureau, had written Mr. Daniels demanding that the officer he called to account for alleged reflection on the Sinn Fein party in Ireland. "Admiral Sims was granted permission to write a book on his. experiences." Mr. Daniels said in reply.
