IS regiments of infantry were sum-
marily "telescoped" into half their
number, and some hundreds of officers
and gentlemen who had joined the reg
ular service at the end of the great war
in the reasonable hope of attaining
suitable rank before they died, found
themselves suddenly bereft of all hope
of promotion and doomed to remain
subalterns and file-closers until they
were so. 1t was the year when to pro-
vide for the superfluous officers Of the

But now she was seized and strained
to his heart, and the furiously blushing

though indignant tears were starting
from her eyes, 1t was useless to strug-

pouting, sobbng little, and striving
to push herself from his embrace, but
striving so feebly, so very fecbly. "My

his lips close pressed to her check,

through his American dollars. The
English papers openly charge him with
''what-I-don't-ln worth
knowing" air, a sentiment which he
boosted even in his Oxford days. He
is aristocratic, handsome and clever
and he is fully aware of all these quail
ties. In matter of dress he is exceed
ingly careful and his blonde hair is
parted in the exact middle. Heir to a
peerage, married to one of Americas
most beautiful and wealthy women,
under secretary for foreign affairs in
the house of commons and spoken of
by friends and foes alike as possible
premier, il would seem that there
would be few who would openly dare
to mention aloud his peculiarities, but
his overwhelming consciousness of all
these favorable points is too evident for
his critics to refrain from an occasional
fling at his high and mighty manner.

A GREAT REMEDY
For sufsrera Prom Piles.

DR. Redmond, a specialist in the study and
treatment Of Piles and rectal diseases, re-
Gently stated that the Pyramid Pile Cure,
the new discovery for the cure of piles, was
the most remarkable remedy he had ever
seen or tried in one respect and that was,
the instant relief experienced in all cases, no
matter how severe, from the moment the
remedy was applied this was the most sur
prising to him. because he had carefully ana
lyzed the preparation and no trace Of opium,
cocaine or similar poison could be detected
Physicians look with great favor upon the
Pyramid Pile Cure because it is rapidly
taking the place of surgical operations and
because it is so simple, so easily applied and
contains no mineral or other poisons so COM
monty used in pile cures.
Or. Esterbrook reports that the Pyramid
Pile Cure not only cures the various forms of
Piles, but never fails to give immediate re
lief on the first application, no matter how
severe the pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles for
years are often astonished at the instant re-
lief experienced from the first application
Another important advantage is the fact that
anyone can use the remedy without deteu
tion from business or interference with daily
occupation Sold by druggists at so cents
per package.

ais to the commodore Of the Greek
fleet, forbidding either a sea or land
attack upon occupied fortressea or an
attack by the Greek fleet upon Turkish
ships for the advance of Colonel Vas
SOS into the interior, and stating that
any attempt at evasion of these in-
functions would be repelled by the
combined fleets of the powers.
This created a great sensation in the
chamber. Deputy Seals asserted that

should have been a declaration Of war

powers that it would be impossible to
impose such a condition of inactivity

means in her power to prevent the
landing of Turkish troops in Crete, but
would desist from attacking occupied
towns so long as the occupation lasted.
