Embassy which drew the attention or

To-day we are entitled 10 ask the
question: What has the British Ad.
miralty done to protect the Lusitana
and her passengers Does England
s,il consider the German submarine
blockade a bluff or Is the British fleet
afraid Of the German fleet and It's SUBJ
marines Certainly tho assumption ot
the Cunard officials was justified that
British warships would convoy the Lusi-
tania through the war zone.
"Why did the British Admiralty fail
SO completely In view OF the fact that
the German submarines had increased
their activity so greatly recently Eng
land must he aware finally that the
German Admiralty is quite as deter
mined TO cripple English commerce as
England was to cripple German COM
merce. The torpodoing OF the Lusi-
tania proves that ~ was no empty
blufY and that the German Admiralty
is in a position to carry out Its threat

"The question whether the Germans
have right TO torpedo merchant Ves-
sells has been threshei out before. Az
ter the British began depriving Ger
many OF food for civilians and other
non contraband shipments, thereby vio-
lating an international law which they
themselves had maintained up 10 the
present, there was no particular reason
why Germany should adhere TO the law
of nations.
"As to the Lusitania we might point
out that he manifest showed enormous
quantities of war material, among
which no less than 5,47l cases OF am
munition valued at 100000. The fact
is the steamer might not be considered

EXCHANGE GOES UP
AFTER SHIP SINKS
Fewer Sailings expected in
Future. With Commercial
Bills Scarcer.

The sinking OF the Lusitan caused a
exchange to i79a for demand and
N0H for cables. This compares with
close Of i79i. for do mand and i.79's
for cables on Thursday. Francs also
'dyanced TO 5.Sl7s for checks and 5.S1 4
Tor cables, against a close on tie day
previous at 5.32i. for sight drafts and
Ssla. for cables. In foreign exchange
circles 1t was generally held that the
rnking OF the Lusitania would tend
T. lessen the supply Of commercial bills
offered in the future, and also that.
owing TO the probable cutting down of
steamer sailings to English ports. the
supply demand would fall off, with in
creased buying movement in cables.
Exchange on Germany and Austria

Tie victories OF the Teutonic allies on

PRIMARIES WILL Be EXCITING:


Unless all present signs fail, the
contest for the republican nomination
for congress in the fourteenth Illinois
district, the bailiwick directly across
the river from Burlington, will be an
unusually spirited one, says the Bur
lington Hawk-Eye. Former Congress
man James Mckinney is candidate,
B. E. Pinkerton, editor OF the Mon
mouth Atlas, announced his Barkis
frame of mind last week, and Frank
F. Abbey, who was the primary can
didate two years ago, may try it again.
tt is not known whether or not Con-
gresham Tavenner will have opposi-
ton for the democratic nomination.
Each of the three republican aspirants
is worthy Of the honor. Mr., McKfn-
ney during his long term in the lower
house proved himself an able men,
Der and his voluntary retirement four
years ago was matter OF sincere re-
greet to his constituents and to the
people of this section OF Iowa. whose
friends he always showed himself to
be. Mr.. Pinkerton's paper Is one of
the most influential in his district and
he is held in high esteem. Mr.. Abbey
has served several terms In the state
has always been consis-
tent parry worker and has all the quail
fications which go to make worthy
representative. While the contest
Will be lively it will be a clean one
and whoever is the fortunate man

didate is in every way deserving OF
their loyal support.

RELIEVES THE WORST
CASES OF CATARRH

Treatment for Catarrh Ever

Do not try to cure catarrh by using
sprays or lotions; 1t cannot be cured
in that manner. The only way In
which this too common disease can
be fully relieved Is through direct
application to the affected parts that
will kill the bacilli of catarrh and
prevent their growth.
Breathing the air OF Hyomei Is the
only known method Of treatment that
can really accomplish this. 1t is the
simplest. most pleasant and probably
the most reliable treatyn ent for ca
tarrh that has ever been discovered.
Numerous unsolicited testimonials
have been received from prominent
men and women who have been helped
by this remarkable remedy. Ministers,
bankers, lawyers, even eminent Dhysi-
clans have given strong testimony as
to the powers OF Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit Is inex-
