are twofold The Liberal leaders regard
the arrangements the government Is maxi
ing for a loan abroad as being OF the
greatest consequence TO them They ask
ell the constitutional Democrats and the
bulk OF the peasant members 10 consoli-
date as revisionists on the financial au-
thority OF the Douma
The Cars manifesto permits only that
the Douma's resolutions may he adopted
as suggestions in framing the department
tai budgets for the following year, and
the Liberals are convinced that IL the
government succeeds in obtaining a great
foreign loan II viii, under the favorable
impression created by the peaceful cleo
tions. absolutely refuse the Douma any
degree OF financial control. and that Il
the Douma insists on an immediate re-
vision Of the manifesto IN this direction
1t will continue to administer the country
with the borrowed money.
The great success OF the constitutional
Democrats however. has created the be-
lief among the leaders that they will be
too numerous in the Douma and will have
too much prestige among the peasant
members for the government to resort TO
such q desperate extremity as 10 suppress
the Douma in the first week of the ses-
sion.
NJ Federoff a liberal member for St.
Petersburg. who will be remembered as
the spokesman OF the progressist deputa-
tion TO the Car last summer before the
manifesto was issued. publishes a declar-
alton TO the effect that great obstacles
must be Immediately removed before the
Douma can attempt constructive work.
The Douma cannot deal with any urg-
ent questions If IL remains within It's ex.
tsting limits, for its only effective weapon
against the bureaucracy and for reforms
Is the right OF framing the budget, OF
which IL is absolutely deprived
NJ. Federoff foresees that peasants en-
terng the Douma will come with a de-
mand for land, which must be satisfied.
for the agrarian question is an outstand-
ing feature to the national crisis Their
demand will Immediately raise the great
est financial and economic issues. with
which the Douma, as now constituted,
will not dare TO deal.
To solve the question would require
large funds. and the government is like.
~ 10 reply that IL has none. The gov
ernment can. however, turn 10 the peas
ants and say: You demanded national
representation You have II, and now
Il cannot help YOU"
NJ. Federoff Is convinced that the gov
eminent will follow these tactics In at
tempting to destroy the constitutional
movement, and his colleague NJ Kedrine.
who is also a Liberal member. designate
for St Petersburg. while concurrng in
the belief that revision of the manifesto
should he made the first act of the party
program, personally expects that the
-DnuIna will be dispersed
NJ Kutlock who Is the third member
for the capital and who was formerly
minister of agriculture believes that
when the government is brought face "a
face with the Douma II will yield 10 the
majority

the first issue has greatly extende. ma

COVERED FIFTY
MILES IN 3 HOURS
ON BALLOON TRIP

Springfield, Mass. April l2-After
successful balloon trip during which they
covered the 80 miles between Pittsfeld,
Mass. and Somers. Conn. in just three
hours Or. Julian p Thomas and his
wife. and Charles Levee. a professional
aeronaut arrived here last night.
They made a successful descent neal
the village OF Somerville at place called
Jobs Hill. at 6:10 o'clock IN the evening
and arrived here by trolley at about 10
o'clock.
Or. Thomas said II was the longest bal
loon trip he has ever made in the course
OF his varied experiences AS an amateur
aeronaut 1t was Mrs. Thomas first trip
OF the kind, and and she declared she en-
joyed 1t thoroughly. The highest point
rgHcurd during the ascent was about 5000
feet
In making the ascent at Pttsheld the
balloon went up 1000 feet and was caught
by a current, which started II toward the
Hoosac Range. A thick cloud soon In
terfered with observation and 20 escape
this Levee descended 10 a height Of about
800 feet, at which point the landscape
again was clearly visible
As the sky cleared. all the ballast and
even the life preservers in the car were
tossed out until the balloon reached the
altitude OF 5000 feet. The course was gen.
orally about southeast by south
The balloon passed a little southwest
OF Springfield and crossed the Connecti-
cut river passing over Enfield. Conn.
and gradually neared the earth as Il sp-
preached the town of Somers. On Jobs
HILL near the village of Somersville. the
balloon lightly struck the top OF tall
chestnut tree, and then sank gradually
10 the ground. touching 50 easily that all
the occupants were able TO alight with
out a bruise and with scarcely a percep-
tible shock.
The balloon was undamaged and will
be shipped back TO Pittsfeld for use in
other flights in the near future. The gas
bag is OF $500 cubic feet capacity and is
one of the largest in Use in this country.
1t carries a car easily capable OF accom-
modating three persons.
DR. Thomas said there were no unusual
ly exciting incidents on the trip, except
that once Mr.. Levee was obliged TO climb
into the rigging 10 free a rope which had
become twisted. The party was quartered
at the Massasoit house last night DR..
and Mrs. Thomas expect to return to
New York early tomorrow morning.
The trip was undertaken by Or. Thom-
the balloon would travel In one direction
within a given time. but no accurate
scientific observations were attempted
Photogra phs OF the landscape were taken
however. at several points. Pittsfed was
selected as the starting point because its
location far inland would lessen the dan
ger to balloonist OF being carried out
TO sea.

It Takes
Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion OF your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach TO digest food, your
kidneys TO filter the blood, and
the liver 10 secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
if you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or mNery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take DR.. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
For eighteen years Or. Niles
Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills have been
my close companions. Early in mar
ried life. while raising children. my
nerves became all worn -out--could not
sleep; had no appetite. indigestion
very bad. and had such awful dizzy
spells. Then I began using Dr. Miles
Nervine, and at once began TO i'm
prove. and soon found myself in
perfect health"
