MORE ROOM IS NEEDED.
0skaloosa Hospital has Been Crowd
ed to Capacity.

At the monthly meeting of the Os.
kaloosa Hospital Board of Manage
ment Monday afternoon, the Board
was reorganized for the year by the
election of the following officers:
President, H. H. Sheriff.
Vice President, II. T. tPenders.
Treasurer K. l.. Butler.
Secretary, Phil Hoffman,.
The monthly report of the work at
the hospital as made to the board by
the Superintendent Miss Ida Swan
son, shows that the month of April
was the busiest month in the history
of the institution with one exception,
and the exception was the previous
month OF march. Fifty-two patients
were cared for in March and 81 in
April. Both months have tested the
capacity of the hospital and have en-
phasized the need of more room. A
new wing to the building is demand
ed. but how to secure the money is
a question that is bothering the man
agement. If some generous citizen
would wish to build a monument of
that kind, no better time could be
found than right now when the need
is so great. The detailed report for
the past month follows:

GREECE POLICY

IT IS CLAIMED SERviAN NORTH. ERIN ARMY IS BEING SLOWLY
 BUT SURELY CUT DOWN.
BULGARS MEETING REVERSES
Turks Continue Active in the Darda- neIIes Region 1t Is Recorded in the British Official Com
 munication.

London.-While Greece hesitates the Servian northern army is being slowly but surely ground down before tho combined pressure of the Austro German and Bulgarian forces. The fate of Nish hangs by hair, and il Is only at the southern end of the battle front that the Bulgars are meeting with any reverses. There, ac cording to reports, the British are CO operating with the French, but as hall these reports are unofficial and frag mentary. it cannot be said authorita with their new enemy.
 If the Bulgar-Teuton tide is turned the best opinion here is that it will be some weeks hence. involving a pc riod of uncertainty such as preceded the stand before Paris and on the Yser. But giving the entente powers a months time. it is argued that they can throw 300,000, and perhaps 500,' 900 men into Servia, not including Russians, and with such a force not powers, but contest Bulgaria's occu. patton of Servian Macedonia.
 The Germans remain on the defen. sive in the east and west Neither theater has developed any large oat ties, as modern battles are reckoned.
 The Turks continued acti~e in the Dardanelles region, as is recorded h British official communication from tie Gallipoli Peninsula. This says the Turks launched attacks against the British right in the Anzac region, but that they did not dent the British lines.

HOLD CONFERENCE
 ON LUSITANIA CASE
GERMAN AMBASSADOR COUNT VoN BERNSTORFF AND SEC
 RETARY LANSING MEET.

Washington.-Coun von Bernstortf. the German ambassador, and Secre- tary Lansing held their first conver- sation since the settlement of the Arabic case, and took under consid- eration the questions growing out of with the loss of more than 100 Ameri- can lives.
 The plan of reaching an agreement without the exchange of formal notes worked so we'll in the Arabic case that it is to be followed in endeavoring to solve the Lusitania problem. The conversation was only an approach to the various issues involved in the controversy, and 1t was indicated that it would take some time to reach common basis for settlement
 There is no disposition at the State Department to hasten a settlement, but to give every opportunity for a full and frank exchange of views.
 Originally the American govern ment demanded disavowal of the act. reparation and assurances that the incident would not be repeated The last is considered to have been dis. posed of through the published in. structions to German submarine com manders not to torpedo ships without warning.
 The question of uisavowal is beset with many complexities, since the commander acted under instructions existing at the time.
 That Germany will give the repara. tion desired in the form of indemnity is considered not unlikely, in view of the fact that virtually the same prin- ciple was involved in the Arabic case

CANNOT SUBMIT TO CUR TAILMENT OF ITS NEU-

NOTE CONTAINS 15.0O0 WORDS
Alleged Violations of American Rights Presented to Great Sritain-Eng- land Held U. s. to Account
 When Latter Was Fighting.

Washington.-The United States. in it's latest note to Great Britain. made public here, covering exhaus- lively British interference with Amer ican trade since the beginning of the European war, declares that the so- called blockade instituted by the al lies against enemy countries on March II is ineffective, illegal and indefen- sible'' Notice is served that the government cannot submit to the curtailment of it's neutral rights" and 1t cannot with complacence suffer further subordination of it's rights and interests"
 Ambassador Page, to whom the note was sent by special messenger for de- livery to the London foreign office, ito impress most earnestly" upon the British government that the United States must insist that the relations between it and his majesty's govern ment be governed not by policy of expediency. but by those established rules of international conduct to which Great Britain in the past has held the United States to account when the latter nation was a belliger- ent engaged in struggle for nation al existence"
 Declaring the United States "un- hesitatingly assumes" the task of championing the integrity of neutral rights, the note proclaims that the American government will devote it's energies to the task, exercising al ways an impartial attitude.
 The note, nearly 15,000 words in length, was made pubic by agreement between the State Department and the British Foreign Office. It carries with it a voluminous appendix, giving the text of American naval instruc- tions issued in 1862 and a summary and table showing hundreds of ves- sells detained by British authorities since the beginning of the present war.

VILLAS ACTIONS
 PUZZLE CARRANzA
FIVE HUNDRED TROOPS REPORT. ED TO HAVE REACHED WACO
 FROM AGUA PRlETA.

Douglas, Ariz. - Whether Gen. Francisco Villa intends to press home his attack on Agua Prieta or pass up the border town and play for big. ger game. the western coast cities of Guaymas and Mazatlin, which would give him ports for securing much. needed supplies, is problem that IS puzzling both the American army ot. ficers here and the Carranza forces in Agua Prieta.
 The Villa army began to move from Agua Prieta toward Naco and that town reported 800 Villa troops al. ready had reached there. Approxi. mately 1000 others were reported by train passengers as having been seen along the road leading toward Naco.
 It is known, too, that Villa agents have been endeavoring to purchase much needed supplies of flour and corn, and preparations have been made at Naco to take care of those Prieta.
 On the other hand, Gen. Gales scouts report that the main body of Villas army, re-enforced during the day by an unknown number of men from the east is still within a few miles of Agua Prieta. Villa has sue, ceeded in getting near to water sup. ply at Calladones and Anavacachi pass and limited food supplies also have reached him.
 Every preparation was made in Agua Prieta for another attack Gen Ruston. commanding American forces, also made preparations by posting troops at vantage points in Douglas and moving them away from imme- diate contact with the border. Strict orders have been issued to keep residents of Douglas far away from the international line
 This was merely precautionary measure. The general opinion among American army officers is that Villa has fooled the Carranza forces; that he merely nibbled at Agua Prieta, and finding it much tougher than he eX. pected, will now ignore it, with its much coveted supplies of provisions and ammunition and after his army IS thoroughly rested and provisioned win strike down through Hermosillo and Magdalena to the west coast for a campaign of much greater import. ance.
 brief interview between Gen. Funston and Gel. Villa took place over the barbed wire fence marking the international line, a short distance from Agua Prieta, At that time Gen. Villa assured Gen. Fusion that he wished to avoid bringing American troops into the conflict. What else was said is not known. Gen. Fun. ston will not talk.

during many years of experimentation has discovered a new remedy which is thirty-seven times more powerful than lithia in removing uric acid from the system. If you are suffering from backache or the pains of rheumatism, so to your best druggist and ask for a 50 cent box of ''Anuric'' put up by Doctor Pierce. or send 10c for large trial pck'g. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription for weak women and pr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the blood have been favorably known for the past forty years and more. They are standard remedies to-day--as we'll as Doctor Pierco.s Pleasant Pellets for the liver and bowels. You can have a sample of any one of these remedies by writing pr.
