London, May 11.-(7:35 p. m.)-''Interna- tional law has been within the last 10 months more completely disregarded. ca st down and trampled under foot than l think it ever has within the last four or five centuries said viscount Bryce formerly British ambassador at Wash ington, on presiding at lecture on in- ternational law here today.
 Apart from the cruelties to the inno- cent population of Belgium which has been subjected to worse treatment than that which befell combatants.v he con- tinued. "ships not engaged In warlilse operations have suddenly been sunk and their crews drowned.
 "The technical legal description of pi- rates was that they were enemies of the human race. They are everybody's en- emies alike. Theynre wild beasts on sea and danger, not to one particular ma tion. but to all mankind, and neutrals vii be just as much ultimately involved as are the nations at war.
 viscCunt Bryce added that the German ideas that they terrify nations was an other of the numerous mistakes the Ger mans had made.

Not Since War Began Has Anti German Spirit Been
 So Keenly Marked. Lusitania the Cause

London, May 21.-(9:so D. m.)r-Never
 since the war began has such wave of nt-German feeling surged through the
 country as at the present time. It is
 due entirely to the sinking of the Lusi- tana.
 Workmen are refusing to labor alongside
 men of German birth, whether naturalized
 or not. In many towns premises occupied
 by Germans have been damaged or de-
 stroyed and even the exchanges in Lon
 don and provincial towns are barring the
 doors to persons of German blood. There have been riots in Liverpool,
 Manchester, Stafford and BirlSenhead. In Liverpool Germans have been interned and those who are naturalized subjects
 of Great Britain have been advised to go to interior towns seek internment Many have decided on internment. Newspapers demand that all the .o00 Germans still at large should be similarly treated.

 called attention to the grave danger that | exists by allowing alien enemies to remain at large in the country.
 A public meeting will be held at the
 Mansion house on the subject of alien enemies. It will be the forerunner ot meetings of protest all over the country. Before the adjournment of the House of Commons tonight Sir Henry J. Dal-
 ziel urged the government to intern all alien enemies, while Lord Charles Beres- | ford expressed the view that unless some
 definite policy were adopted there would be very serious doings in the country. 1 Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the op- position in the House, also spoke of the | seriousness of the situation.

 our starboard quarter close to us. We
 steered as directed and at about 1922, he second officer being on watch sighted a submarine on our port bw slightly on the port bow--steaming E

LESS MEAT IF BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take glass Of Salts to flush Kidneys
II Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots Of water,

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region: rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine SO it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent nthia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

President Vetoes Bill.
Both houses passed the immigration
bill. only to have it vetoed by the pres
ident, because of the literacy test. A
motion to override the veto failed in
the house Of representatives.
After bitter fights the house voted
down, during the short session, resolu-
lions to submit to the states constitu
tional amendments providing for wom-
ans suffrage and nationwide prohi-
bition.
Another measure which failed was
the administration ship purchase bill,
which encountered a record breaking
senate fillibuster.
In the Investigations line both
houses showed activity. The senate
and house each investigated the So
called lobby at the capital, following
the Mulhall charges. The senate also
investigated the West Virginia coal
strike, and the house investigating
committee took note Of the coal strike
in Colorado and the copper strike in
Michigan.
The senate and house each had its
filibuster during this congress, the Re-
publican filibuster in the upper cham
Der preventing action on the ship pur
chase bill, and the house filibuster
against adjournment failing to bring
action on cotton relief legislation last
October.
The Sixty-third congress was a rec.
ord breaker in another respect in that
for the first time in a hundred years
president personally appeared before
a congress to read his annual message
and support measures.
The defeat of the ship purchase bill
was the first serious legislative rebuff
met by the president, who played u
large part in the shaping of all in
portant legislation enacted by this
congress. Probably the most impress
sive evidence of the presidents hold on
the legislative branch was the forcing
through of the administration bill to
repeal the free tolls clause in the Par
anna canal act. The clause was re-
pealed after stubborn fights in both
houses.
