have shown a pronounced sympathy with
the Spanards. nothing had occurred that
could officially be n subject OF complaint
thu. had not been promptly disavowed.
Under these circumstances II Is pointed
out the United States Will not be disposed
TO assume ia advance OF the receipt OF
full Information that the German govern
ment Is solely responsible for the present
disturbed state OF affairs at Apia. Mem
bers OF the cabinet were not inclined 10
regard seriously the intimation Of some or
the German papers that the United States
should be required 70 disavow the acts Of
Admiral Kautz
The action of Great Britain In ordering
two more warships 10 Samoa attracted con-
siderable attention here. and II was stated
that IL the British ships are 50 Reinforced
Germany would take similar steps. and
augment her naval representation In those
waters, 10 meet any possible contingencies
So far. however. no action looking TO re-
enforcing the United States naval forces
there has been taken. Secretary Long was
Informed OF Great Rritain's action, but
said IL was his belief that there was ade-
quate representation OF the United States
now. and that no more vessels would be
despa tched TO Samoa unless further Inn
pOrtant developments occur The Phila-
celphIa. with the two British ships. were
fully able TO cope with the situation. In the
present light OF events. Admiral kautz
has not requested any reinforcement. and
his recommendation. under ordinary cir
cumstancos, would be awaited.
The view Is held IN German circles that
much OF the delay In settling the Samoan
troubles, as well as the grave aspect the
matter has assumed. is due 10 a desire on
the part OF Great Britain TO bring about an
alliance with the United States.
Most Dangerous Feature.
The arrest and detention by the British
naval officials OF German subject Is one
or the most dangerous features OF the con-
troversy. IL is said that the consuls OF
the three powers stationed at Apia claim
extra-territorial jurisdiction involving the
right TO try the subjects OF their respective
countries for any offenses alleged TO have
been committed Under this practice the
German consul. Rose. may demand the sur
render OF the German subject III the man
Is guilty, II Is considered improbable that
the British will yield unless upon some ade-
quate guarantee that he Is TO be sufficiently
punished. IL is not believed likely that Rose
will make such promise, 1t Is believed that
Admiral Kautz, with the cooperation OF
the British, will continue his efforts 20 bring
the rebellious natives to terms. This Is not
likely TO be an easy task, I'm view OF the
small force at his command. but IL is pos
sble the British government may accept
the proposition of the authorities OF New
Zealand TO send regiment of soldiers 10
Apia. No protest thus far has been lodged
at the state department against Admiral
kautz.

The way to be well is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs
OF the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the hlood-that is their
work
Purifying your blood is not ques-
ton Of taking a laxative of physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is TO
throw out the poisous confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood but the poisons which are al
ready in your blood, causing your pres
ent sickness, il leaves there.
There is no other way OF purifying
your blood except by means of your
kidneys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail 10 help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then. no matter
what you think the name Of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
10 afford aid TO your kidneys by using
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford
natural help to nature for swamp
Root is the most perfect healer and
gentle aid to the kidneys that is known
TO medical science.
