BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af-
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and SEN
Sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because Of mucous obstruc-
tons; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the inhamma-
ton often spreads TO the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years--is SCOTS Emul-
sion. 1t drives out the cold, which
is the root of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing
process of the enfeebled membranes.

In the western arena of the war the

that either side has gained. If the Ger

The Turks claim to have arrested the

they give no details. The British press
continues to assert that the proposed

reports to the effect that such invasion
surely will be attempted.
Intense Suffering I'm Poland.
The suffering in Belgium which the help
of America has gone so far to relieve is
for the moment in the background when
compared to the destitution of non-com-
batants in Palestine, Poland and the
Carpathians. From Palestine, Jewish
colonists continue to flee to Egypt, being
conveyed as rapidly as possible by the
American cruiser Tennessee. The desti-
tuition OF Poland is said to be terrible.
and a new appeal for aid has been issued
by lgnace Paderewski and Henryk Sien-
kiewicz, who speak for all factions. 1t
is said that the situation in Poland is far
worse than il is in Belgium. The fleeing
people of Bukowina are living like ami

for such sustenance as the snow-covered

ANXIOUS
FOR WAR

THE HAGUE, May 19.-(Via Lon
don. members of the dip
lomatic corps at The Hague claim to
be convinced that war between Italy
and Austria Hungary is only question
of hours.
Hints have been dropped in several
quarters that Germany is even anxious
for Italy to enter into hostilities, as by
this means the possibility might arise
for Austria Hungary to conclude sep
nrate peace with Russia, which would
enable Germany to withdraw many of
her troops from the long eastern front
for service elsewhere.
Germany, some diplomatists say, is
not likely to be very active against
Italy and would rather utilize the serv-
ice of many of her officers now en-
ployed in Galicia on the western front,
where they are greatly needed.
It is also argued by foreign diplo-
mats that 1taly's entry into the war
would not Immediately involve Ru-
mania.

of Udine, Belluno, Verona and Brescia,
as well as their respective provinces,
are entirely in the hands of the mill
tary authorities and trains carrying
field guns, horses, troops, ammunition
and provisions are congesting all the
lines. Peasants houses are occupied
by officers.
The spirit of the Italian troops is ex-

the most powerful machine gun in ex-
istence, capable of firing 1,4OO bullets

square yards. Italy also has adopted
a new type of gun carriage, enabling
the transport, even up steep noun
tains, of heavy siege guns.
. Twenty-nine thousand caribineers
have been recalled under the colors
and there are $4,000 select troops
which can be used for scouting and
