"My little nephew was a plump and
healthy baby until year and half old,
then sores broke out behind his ears and
spread rapidly over his head, hands and
body. A physician said the trouble was
scrofula humor in the blood. The child
became one complete sore. We had to
restrain his hands to keep him from
scratching the sores. We were induced
to try Hoods Sarssparilla, and in short
time he had more life. He improved rap

sores and he is now healthy child MRS.

DISTINGUISHED JAPS.

Chicago, April ia distinguished
party of japanese arrived from the
west Sunday and are registered at the
Auditorium. 1t comprised H. Metzu,
the. new secretary of the legation at
Washington, and X. Komatsu, X. Yu-
kow and r. Aria, delegates from Japan
to the universal postal congress to be
held in Washington next month. Mr..
Metzu ridiculed the idea that Japan
had any intention on Hawaii.
What does Japan want with Ha-
waii?" he asked.
japan has not the slightest objec-
lions to the United States annexing
that island if it sees fit to do so and
entertains no covetous feelings regard
ing the island"
The party will visit various points of
interest in the city today and will leave
tonight for Washington.

Colonel Green Saw Them do it Once
and Knows.
New York, April 19-Col. Frances A.
Green, L. S. A, retired, who was sent
by this government to Russia during
the last Turkish war to represent the
War department at Washington, last
night told of his observations of the
Turkish army while in battle.
The Turks are individually good
fighters" said Colonel Green. They
are fine soldiers, very obedient, fanatic
in their religion and fatalists. The
Turks fight up to a certain point and
when he thinks matters are going
against him he will run. Not for any
lack of courage, but because he thinks
fate is against him.
The Turkish soldiers are well arm
ed. During the Russo Turkish war,
the Turks were better armed than the
Russians. They are well clothed but
commissary and transportation sys-

three times as many on each side In
1877 the Turks put over 100000 men in
the field in Europe and over 100000 in
Asia and they made a very much
stronger resistance than the Russians,
anticipated. / think Russia puts
nearly half a million men in the field
before the war was over.
Turkey is bankrupt but that won't
stop her from fighting. They will
probably manage to borrow enough
money to buy guns and ammunition
and they will get food out of their
own country.
THE Turks twenty years ago fought
an entirely defensive campaign and
there is no reason why they should
not do so now Their plan was to
seize some important point and throw
up Notifications which they cOnstruc-
ted with remarkable skill and then
wait to be attacked behind their
breastworks.
They collected their ammunition
supplies in these forts and awaited an
attack. Sometimes their positions
were turned. They were compelled to
retreat and then they would abandon
all their ammunition and stores and
fall back on another line of fortifica-
tions. 20 or % miles in the rear"
Colonel Green was asked his opin-
ion as to the relative strength of the
armies of Greece and Turkey.
There is no question" he said, that
the Turks are more than a match for
the Greeks but the whole question is
what stand the great powers will take.
They are all extremely anxious to keep
peace. because if war is once started
among the great powers it is impos-
sible to say when ii will end.

Tells His Congregation They Must

Chicago, April 19-Peace and war
were strangely mingled in the servi-
ces of the Little Greek church in Kin
zie street Sunday. 1t was Palm Sun
day by the Greek calendar and the
priest told his people the tidiings of
peace, of the entry of the Lord into
but with love, and the people met him
not with the sword but waving palm
branches and singing.
The priest told other tidings-tid-
ings that had come during the night,
and that told not of peace but of war.
He told his people their country was
threatened with the gravest danger;
that their king called to them and
they must answer according to their
circumstances. Those who were young
and strong who had no families DEEPEN
ding on them might go back and fight
in the ranks against their country s
enemy but to those who cannot go
back there had as important work to
do. 1t was for them to show by
deed and by word that the love they
bore the land of their birth still burn
ed strong and bright.
At the close of the services the wor-
shippers passed out of the church and
down to the street with the palm eros
ses still in their hand or pinned in their
coats.

Turkish forces, as this dispatch is be-
ing forwarded, are holding their posi-
tions in Milona Pass. During the Sc
we're fighting which began yesterday
evening the Greeks and Turks alike
fought and behaved in the most ad-
mirable manner. 1t is believed that
the battle which will be fought tomor-
row, (Monday), will be of a decisive
character.
Turkish reports, just received, say
Milona Pass is in possession of the
Turks who carried two Greek block
houses at the point of the bayonet.
Late tonight information was receiv-
ed from the front that the Turks had
occupied the whole extent of Milona
Pass and all commanding heights from
Neckhe to Papalyvaya, as we'll as all
the defiles. The Turkish losses thus
far are reported to be slight 30 killed
and so wounded
The correspondent of the Associated
Press counted 100 Greek corpses on a
hill opposite the Turkish position. The
Turks declare the Greeks were drunk
during the fighting today, being con-
stantly supplied with liquor
Kenan Bey has returned from Kar-
va. where the fighting continued.
When he left there, the Turkish loss
at that place was 200. Kenan Bey
says he counted nearly one thousand
dead Greeks.

London, April 1.-THE outbreak of
hostilities on the Greek frontier has
caused but little sensation. Prominent
officials and the Turkish embassy have
received no information beyond the
fact that war has been declared The
correspondent of the Associated Press
understands that Turkey has no idea
of territorial conquest, for she knows
the Powers would not sanction an
advance to Athens. She probably will
first attempt to capture Larissa and
then march on Trikhala and Phanari.
If these are also captured, Turkey will
compel Greece to comply with the de-
mands of the Powers.
The Turkish fleet however, is still in
the Dardanelles, where it is likely. to
remain as long as the Turks continue
active. 1t is reported the Powers, so
far from blockading the ports will even
allow Col. Vassos and his army to re-
turn to Greece If he desires to do so.
In any case the Greek fleet will be able
to harass Turkey at many points, be-
side keeping open supply line for the
Greek army. Another question of
dominating influence is whether the
Greeks can engineer an uprising in
Macedonia and the Sporades islands.
Russia and Germany meanwhile are
content to see Greece and Turkey Grip
pling each other for many years to
come, so long as the other Balkan
states keep quiet.

little green aphides that infest our rose

accumulation of wealth, and in guarding
it from depreciation, but, when all's said
and done, their industry is terrible sort
of thing that would be deadly to the
human race The desire of much gain
has made them blind.
Originally winged, sesing creatures,
they crawled upon the earth, using their
wings so little that gradually they lost
these organs. Only a few retain them,
the true females and the males, and these
only for a brief season, in the mat
ing time, when they essay a short
nuptial flight, and after that the
males die, the females lose their wings
and retire to the underground cities for
the balance of their lives. 1t is probable
that these winged ants retain some power
of sight, but the workers are blind. They
used their eyes to no better purpose than
they did their wings, and in time they
