j have just been up at the cen
trail station where trainloads OF
refugees are arriving from over
crowded, understaffed but ever
willing Rosendaal. Motors, driven
by soldiers, meet them and hurry
them off with their pathetic little
bundles to shelter in the bourse
and in diamond-cutting factories
which are standing idle through
the war, to private homes thrown
open to the homeless, and to ho-
tells that take them in for the
most trivial sums If they offer to
pay, and for nothing IL they have
no money.
In one coach q woman suddenly
threw up her arms. uttered a cry,
and waved her hand to group
on another coach. She was too
overcome to speak, hut on the
other car a man heard her cry,
looked across, and then burst
into tears. They were husband
and wife, and had seen nothing
of one another since they left
Antwerp.
The soldiers stopped the cars,
helped husband and wife down,
and then quietly turned their
backs while the now happy
couple embraced and kissed and
laughed and cried.
AS in all tragedy there are oe-
casional smiles among tears. A
man from the Antwerp gas works
arrived here still clutching the
shovel he was using when the mo-
ment came for flight; and anoth-
er man who brought from his
home only a motley collection OF
kitchen pots and pans is wonder
ing what to do with them. But he
refuses to be parted from his
treasure.
A little girl of seven arrived all

URIC ACID In YOUR

Even dogs can eat too much
meat. Certainly, many people
dig their graves with their
teeth" Few get enough exer-
else to Justify a meat diet, for
emeat brings uric acid. The kid
neys will try hard to get rid of
that poison, but often a backache,
dizziness, urinary disorder, or
some other slight symptom will
show that the kidneys are weak
ening and need help. The time
tried remedy, then, is Doan's
Kidney Pills.
A TACOMA MAN SAYS so:

CRITICISE ADMINISTRATION

Detroit, Mich, May 26.-Pessimistic
views as tc conditions existing under
the national Democratic administra-
ton and optimistic predictions with
reference to the future of their own
party, were expressed by the speakers.
at the Michigan Republican state well
fare conference here today. Party
leaders from nearly every county In

the Michigan delegation in congress.

Borah of Idaho, announced as the
principal visiting speaker. Repre-
sentative Patrick H. Kelley acted as
Senator William Alden Smith was Sc
lected to preside over the meeting
after Representative Kelley had con-
cluded his address.
THE Republican party has been out
Of power but little more than a year
long enough. however, to demon

power the better it will be for our
domestic affairs and also for our
standing among the nations of the

Attacks Tariff Law.
Representative Kelley attacked both
the tariff law and the Panama free
tolls legislation. With reference to the
tariff law he said:
Already our magnificent balance
Of trade of $6O,OOO,0OO a month has
been completely wiped out and during
April just. passed, there Is a balance
Of trade against us Of $10,171. 900.
This is the first time there has been
a balance of trade against the United
States in Fl years." He declared the
settlement Of Panama should be left
to the verdict Of experience.
THE policy of the administration
in Mexico has undoubtedly brought
its embarrassment" continued Rep
resentative Kelley. I'VE are involved

must be eliminated from the situation
I do not know. Time alone can tell.
But of one thing I am convinced and
that is this-that in the process of
eliminating President Huerta this
proud republic cannot afford for a
single day to become the ally OF Mex
lean outlaws and hignwaymen.
This would be an unholy alliance
and entirely out Of keeping with the
character Of the American people. To
refuse to recognize President Huerta
and then put the stamp of approval
on Villa can in the end bring nothing
but trouble to US and further disor-

Passing Of the Uniform.
A dozen. years ago. q meeting Of
Civil War veterans was marked by the
number of G. A. r.. uniforms worn.
Now, judging from the advance guard
or veterans who have reached the
city, the blue uniform Of the order il
conspicuous for its absence. The little
bronze button, which has been styled
the highest badge of honor ever worn
by man. is about the only distinguish
ing mark Of the honored visitor Oc-
casionally one sees an extra badge of
gold or silver, commemorative some
deed of valor or extraordinary service
performed half century ago. And q
number of black hats with the tas-
seled cord are to be seen. but they are
no more numerous than Panamas or
plain ''Kellys.'
