REASONS FOR THE sNEEzE
superficial Irritation Is the Most Com
mon, but There Are Many Other
Causes

There Is more than one cause for
sneezing, and persons may differ i'm
their susceptibility to them. A bright
light will cause some persons to sneeze,
the pollen of certain plants will affect
others, and most people are likely to
sneeze in the presence Of dust. Such
sneezing is due to superficial irritation.
The sneeze caused by the effect OF
cold is different. It Is an attempt OF
nature to cure you. She makes you
sneeze for the same reason that she
makes you shiver-to generate heat
for warming the blood and preventing
you from taking more cold-to help
to relieve the cold you have.
The sneezing from cold is not an act
of the nose alone, this being merely
the part of the entire body, during
which every muscle gives jump. The
body is affected by spasmodic effort
to warm the entire system and throw
off cold.

GREEK FRENCH
 TROOPS. CLASH
Allies Attempt to Occupy Forbidden Ground in SalOniki and are
 ..s
 Forcibly Prevented.

VIENNA, Nov. 16.-Advices from Athens state that sentiment in Greece is rapidly crystallizing in favor of the Teutons as a result of the Allies ignoring the military regu- lations as laid down by the Greek government concerning movements of Allies troops from Saloniki.
 The French troops attempted to occupy the Greek ammunition tower at Saloniki and were forcibly pre- vented from doing so by Greek troops when an open. rupture was narrowly averted by the commander of the French troops apologizing by declar- ing that it was all mistake.
 Present indications point to the election of candidates to the Greek chamber of deputies during the cleo tion which will be held in December. The success of the Teutonic and Bull garian troops in the Serbian cam paign has caused Greece to realize that she would suffer like fate if involved in the 'war on the side of the Allies.

ROME PROTESTS ID
 NEUTRAL NATIONS
Official Note Accompanied by Afiida- wits of Survivors Stating the
 AncOna was not Warned.

: WASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov. 16- Advices from Rome state that the Italian government has sent notes to all neutral nations protesting against the atrocity of the Teutonic subma- rines in connection with the sinking of the Italian liner Ancona in the Mediterranean sea, causing the loss of more than one hundred lives many of them citizens of neutral nations.
 It is charged that the commander of the submarine kept up continu- ous fire upon the Ancona while her passengers were attempting to es- cape from the vessel. The official note is being sent to neutral nations accompanied by affidavits signed by one hundred and sixty survivors of the Ancona, that the liner was fired upon without warning and that the passengers and crew were given no opportunity of reaching places of safety as provided by international law.

 It is reported that when Fay was with evidence which had been revealed through the disclosures of Dr. Goricar, that he confessed to Prosecutor Marshal that Fay was not his name and that he was an Aus trian by birth. No inkling of the con- fession has been permitted to leak out but it is stated that scores of arrests will follow the disclosures.

Redmond Announces that He Is Wi Kitchener and Will Exert Infiu-

LONDON, Nov. 16.--John Re- mond, the noted Irish leader, has al nounced that he is with Lord Kitcl ener in believing Great Britain mu, raise a new army of three million fc next years campaigns if the natio is to survive the struggle in whic she is now involved. Redmond bt lieves that conscription should be en forced if the men of military age d not offer their service voluntarily.
 The Ulsterites in the British Hous of Commons have led the opposition against conscription and it is believ ed that Redmond's endorsement Lord Kitchener's attitude will cause the Ulsterites to become discredited No definite date has been set for the enforcement of conscription but it is believed that it will go into effect next month unless the voluntary en- listments show a greater increase.
 It is reported that the British gov ernment. fearing internal trouble if conscription was enforced in Ireland. will exempt the subjects of that coun- try from conscription. but will raise limited number of troops there by voluntary enlistment It is believed that the exemption plan is being act ed upon by advice of Redmond, who iS aookinp tO show that the TI1sfor- ties are lacking in patriotism.
