NERVOUS EXHAUSTION

Irritability, oversensitiveness, dispo- sition to worry over trif1es, headache, dizziness these are symptoms of nervous exhaustion, neurasthenia.
 Very often the patient feels best and brightest at night. Rest seems to bring no refreshment, the nervous system fails to recuperate. This distressing condition is caused by worry more often than by any other one thing. Overwork and worry invite the disorder.
 The treatment is one of nutrition of the nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic tonic. As the nerves get their nourish ment from the blood the treatment must be directed towards building up the blood. pr. Williams Pink Pills act directly on the blood and with proper regulation of the diet have proved of the greatest bene- fit in many cases of ncurasthenia. A tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by most neurasthenic patients, is also corrected by these tonic pills. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail at 50 cents per box; six boxes $2.JO. Begin the treatment at once before your condi- ton becomes chronic.
 Two useful books, "Diseases of tho Nervous System and "What to Eat and How to Eat," will be sent free by the Dr. Williams Medicine Go. Schenectady, N. Y., if you mention this paper.

 ity be held up by the ap-
 proach of winter, but the project has progressed far enough to give the layman an insight into the huge job that Uncle Sam has under taken.
 In money the job will cost s26, 300, 900 In men-nobody knows. The line will be All miles long. It will stretch from Seward, on Resurrection bay, to the thriving town of Fairbanks on the Ta- mana river, almost at the arctic circle. w. c. Edes is chairman of the commis- sion, and his two chief aids are Lieu tenant Frederick Mears, late superin- tendent of the Panama railroad, and Thomas Riggs, Jr, who has done much surveying in Alaska.
 This is not the pleasant pursuit that the engineer in the states hasa cut here, a fill there, a nice bridge over a placid stream, with long, level stretch es in between. No, before he can call the job done, Uncle Sam must study some of the Goliath glaciers of the frozen north and their moods: he must hew q patch in the granite sides of many a mountain top for his iron rails; he must throw spidery bridges across gaping ravfneS which summer fills with a frothing torrent and winter locks with a wall of ice; he must stem the cur rents of raging rivers long enough to build concrete piers, all trussed to- gether with beams of the stoutest steel; he must battle all the while with win try blasts and freezing ice and snow and bowling, biting, vengeful winds.
 The men and the machinery that have torn the way between two conti- nents down at Panama has been drawn upon to battle with the barriers that are thrown across Alaska's peaks. Panama's lessons have been learned. The new job will be even more thor oughly accomplished than even that herculean labor.
 The health and personal safety of the men who are to do the battling with the storm giants of the north are of primest concern, just as it wac in Pan- anna.

LAWSON ADMITTED
 TO $35, 1000 BAIL
Colorado Labor Leader Convicted of Murder Probably Will Be Re-
 leased at Trinidad Today.

Denver, Col, Oct. S.-The Colorado supreme court, late yesterday admit ted John R. Lawson to bail in the sum of $35,000. He had been con- victed of first degree murder in con- nection with strike disorders.
 He was sentenced to life imprison- ment on a charge of murdering John Nimmo, 8 deputy sheriff killed in a riot near Ludlow in October, 1918. The supreme court, several weeks ago, granted a supersedeas and writ | of error. The question of admitting Lawson to bail was left undecided until yesterday.
 Lawson is the district No. Is mem- Der of the International Executive Board of the United Mine Workers of America and was a member of the Policy Committee of the union throughout the strike.
 He is in jail in Trinidad, where he was imprisoned last summer after Judge Granby Hillyer denied his mo- tion for a new trial. Judge Hillyer since has been barred by the supreme court from presiding at future strike trials.
 Horace N. Hawkins, chief counsel for Lawson, said that bail would be provided immediately and that Law son probably would be released at Trinidad today.

Details of Interview.

Paris, Oct. 8, 4:3O a. m.-What pur- ports to be details of the historic 1n- terview between King Constantine and Eleutherios Venizelos which resulted in the latter's resignation as prime minister of Greece was printed in the Greek journal Kairoi.
 After agreeing to mobilization as rrecaution involving no change of policy, the King asked the premier what was the object of the concentra- tion of such a strong army on the Macedonian frontier. M. Venizelos answered that the object was two- fold: First, to defend the country, and, second, to go to the aid of Serbia in case she were attacked by Bulgaria.
 Constantine Retorts.
 The King then remarked that he agreed with venizelos so far as de- lending the country was concerned but could not see that Greece was called upon to help Serbia. The premier recalled the obligations im- posed upon Greece by her treaty of alliance but Constantine retorted that when Greece asked Serbia's aid against Turkey in May, 1914, 1t was refused.
 
 Of Venizelos the King replied that the premier was contradicting himself TOT when the allied powers asked Greece to assist Serbia at the time of the Aus trian attack Venizelos made promise of such assistance conditional upon the armed cooperation of Rumania and the benevolent neutrality Of Bull caria These conditions not having Teen pledged. the King pointed out, he refused to join Serbia at time when the Austrian forces arrayed against her, did not exceed 15O,oo and Bulgaria was not hostile.
 No Help From Roumanfa.
 But today" added the King, "The Austro- Germans are a half million to whom must be added S00,0O0 Bull garians and the retreat of the Rus sians prevent the Rumanians from doing anything for Serbia"

Daniels will ask for an enlargement of the Naval Academy at Annapolis to enable training at least double the number of midshipmen that can now be accommodated. Unless this is done 1t Is feared the danger will become acute next year, when eighteen new submarines, not to mention several other new vessels. will be placed in commission.
 The creation of a naval reserve has held the attention of the navy depart ment since last October, when Assist ant Secretary Roosevelt began working out plan for mobilizing private citi- zens who have had nautical experience. The assistant secretary's plan also provides for placing all former enlisted men on the reserve list.
 The service is to be entirely volun- tary. Every man who has had sea ex- perience of any kind, whether on merchantmen or a motorboat, will be called on to enroll himself and will be paid $1 year as recompense for this willingness to serve in the United States navy in the event of war. While 1t is not believed that many of the re- servists would be of great value on @ battleship, it is thought they would be of service on colliers tenders and other auxiliary ships. Former enlisted men would be available for the fighting ships.
 MT. Roosevelt has compiled a mass of statistics which tends to show that reserve of 50,000 men, if necessary, could be created at an annual expense to the government of about s75,000. The reservists will be allowed the privilege of wearing a distinctive badge.
 Plans for having immediately avail able for the nations service in time of war associations or societies of engi- neers, bridge builders, electricians, telegraphers and other trained experts in civil life are being worked out at the army war college in the general reorganization scheme now being studied.
 Secretary Garrison said that he had received numerous suggestions that the organizations might be of use to sup plement the army engineers and expert corps should the need arise. William Barclay Parsons of New York and El- mer L. Cothrel of Massachusetts, rep resenting practically all the engineer ing societies, called on the secretary re- gently to tender formally the services of the organizations. MT. Garrison ob- tained from them written suggestions as to ways In which the engineers in civil life could be useful and the whole matter was turned over to the war college for the framing of a definite plan.

ton rules ensigns are performing the duties of lieutenants. lieutenants are acting as lieutenant commanders, and so on all the way up.
 Shortage of officers is so great that an officer on sick leave means a gap in the line which cannot be filled. There is actually not detached officer in the navy who can be used to fill a tenn porary vacancy. Naval officers are seriously concerned over the situation.
 The personnel now available is just sufficient, by utilizing all the officers in shore stations to man most of the ships of the navy on a peace basis. In case of war it would be necessary, instead of increasing the naval forces by the purchase and requisition of private merchant vessels. as is commonly done. to lay up part of the present force to have enough men to fill the compile ments of the other ships.
 Navy department experts insist that the first need of the navy is more men. They argue that there Is no use build ing Dreadnoughts until enough men are obtained to at least man the old ships.
 It is pointed out that the United
New Britain herald., 1915-10-08

States Is at a peculiar disadvantage among the major naval powers of the world in that 1t has no merchant ma rine from which to draft reserve officers and seamen. In the enormous mer- chant fleet of the British empire the officers are in great part reserve officers of the navy and are a ready source of material in time of war. It Is stated that in the present war thousands of officers have been taken for the navy from the merchant fleets, and the same rule holds true of the other European powers.
 It is believed by the experts that the United States will never solve in ade- quate fashion the problem of a naval reserve until a merchant marine has been created commensurate with the maritime importance of the nation As the measures necessary for the creation of a merchant fleet cannot be proposed by the navy department, however. nothing can be done by the department except to hope that con- gress will take action.
 Many of the high officials of the de- partment are hopeful that Secretary

ANOTHER FRYE CASE
 NOTE TO GERMANY
Lansing Acknowledges Acceptance of American Proposals and Requests
 Further Assurances.

Washington, Oct. S.-Secretary Lansing has completed and will for ward to Berlin this week another note to Germany regarding the settlement of the case of the American ship William P. Frye, which was sunk by the German raider Prinz Eitel Fried rich.
 The note acknowledges Germany's acceptance of the American proposal that the treaty of 1928 be submitted to arbitration for an interpretation on whether or not 1t permits the de- struction of American vessels carry ing contra band, and also agrees to the proposal for the naming of the commission of two experts to fix the damages in the case
 It is understood, however, that the American government, while taking into account Germany's assurances that ships carrying conditional con- traband will not be destroyed under any circumstances, asks also for as- surances that if it is found necessary to destroy American shipT carrying absolute contraband. there shall be ample warning given and passengers and crew removed to place of safety.

Athens, Thursday, Oct. ', p. m., Via. Paris, Oct. 8, 12:35 p. m.-Gen- eral sentiment in Athens seems to be that King Constantine has saved Greece from a war in which the policy of former Premier Venizelos would have brought the country.
 The King. therefore in the opinion of prominent Greeks, has gained ad- ditional prestige while the political strength of the ex-premier has suf- fered a corresponding loss.
