LION CAUSED A COMMOTION
Its Appearance OIL Street Also Incl

Of Hosiery.

A lion in a JERSEY City railway sta
ton wriggled out of his cage the other
day and created a mild panic. or
course, as the immortal weaver justly
observes in the Shakespeare fantasy,
"a lion among ladies is most dread
full thing" and the ability and hosiery
displayed upon the untoward occasion
seems to have been extremely hurried
and generous.
1t is said by his keeper that there
was no danger. The lion was an adj
vanced neutral. He was out for food,
but not for food Of the primitive type.
The glowing charms and smelliness OF
the railway restaurant had lured him
to the point of breaking his bonds.
With hop, skip and leap he Would
have reached the lunch counter, ana
in less than three seconds by Hack

place to himself.
When his keeper arrived on the
scene the unhappy king Of the forest
had decided to divide his attention be-
tween a fossil doughnut and con.
crete pie.
AS the rude chaperon fastened
thumb and finger in the leonine ear
and pushed him back into his cage, he
roared dolefully-the lion roared dole

A WONDERFUL HEALING INFLUENCE
In KINDNEY TROUBLES

A wear and a half ago l was
taken with a severe attack of Kid
ney trouble that panied me to such
an extent that morphine had to be
given me. Was attended by a
doctor who pronounced it as Stone
in the Bladder and prescribed
Lithia Water. I took Lithia Water
and Tablets for some time and re-
ceived no relief from them. Istopped
taking medicines for some time,
later having some Swamp-Root in
the house l decided to try it and
felt much relieved. While taking
the second bottle commenced to
pass Gravel in urine until l had
passed in all at least a half dozen
or more and have not suffered the
slightest since and in all have
taken one bottle and a half and
feel very grateful to Swamp-Root.
Yours very truly,

. LONDON. Mar. 2-The Russian armies are now engaged in battles along practically the whole eastern front In north Poland having been enabled to resume the offensive by means of large achievements they are slowly pushing the Germans back to East Prussian frontier In the Carpathians and Eastern Galicia they have been engaged for several days in resisting the fierce and repeated attacks by the Austrians.
 pspite the heavy fighting in the east the Germans are reported to be sending strong endorsements west for a new attempt to break throush thei allies lines in France and Elan ders. People of towns in Belgium have been warned 10 prepare a billet for a large number of German sol- diers which can mean nothing else than that German wis making prepar- ations for another great effort
 Except the front fortress Of Osso- wetz. which they are bombarding with heavy guns. the Germans, according to the Russian official have turned their backs upon the Russian rail ways, their first objective when they emerged from East Prussia on the heels of the retreating Russians a short time ago.

WASHINGTON IS
 W AITING r l R FURTHER ACTION
President Infers He Would Send Note of Inquiry to Both England and France Regarding Blockade

WASHINGTON, Mar. While the president indicated the United States would send a note of inquiry tc Great Britain and France to learn now they proposed to carry out, in practice, their announced determination to pro, hibit commercial intercourse by sea with Germany. such action. it is said will probably be deferred 9mtn re- plies are received from Great Britain and Germany to the American pro- posals looking to the abandonment of submarine warfare on merchant ships and the unrestricted passage of foodstuffs to the civilian popula- tion of the belligerents
 Germany's reply. as described in the press dispatches. created favorable impression among the officials. but until the text is officially received. no comment will be made Tle atti- tude of Germany gave rise 10 the belief in some official quarters that a basis for the solution of the marine situation might yet be reached through the new note
 What Great Britain's reply will be is dependent to some extent on the attitude of her allies whom she is consulting. There has been official intimations. however, that England would hatly reject the proposal for the shipment of foodstuffs and con ditional coutraband to Germany The president told inQuirers just before the cabinet met. he could not define the attitude of the American govern meut because he had not thoroughly diested the contents of the communi- cations. though apparently they seem cd to establish blockade He point ed out the notes merely defined in 1 general terms. the policy to be pur- sued without stating the means of enforcing the policy To make this clear for the United States. the presi- dent added, might necessitate further ! correspondence with Great Britain and France
 The president made it clear, in his belief. that while conditions of thc war might be changed. no nation has 9 right 10 arrange the law From this it is generally inferred the Amer ican government would. on the posi- tion freGuently expressed by its off
