ITALY AND AUSTRIA

ROME (va Paris), April 1s.--From
an authoritative source II Is learned
that Notwithstanding Germanys ef-
forts, Italy and Austria have failed to
agree on territorial concessions.
Many reports have been current re-
specting proposals said to have been
made by influential Austrians anxious
to preserve peace with Italy. for tho
temporary disposition of the Province
OF Trent. provided Austria consented to
cede It to Italy. The latest proposai,
according to these reports. was that the
territory be ceded to tho Pope and that
the Pontif turn the territory over TO
Italy after the war.
Prince Won Buelow. German ambassa-
dor to Rome. Is said to have frowned on
this suggestion. fearing 1t would be Il
new source Of friction between Austria
and Italy.
Early suggestions regarding the dis
position OF Trent were that 1t be coded
to Germany to hold until the end Of the
war. or that 1t be occupied until that
time by Switzerland. with the agree
ment In either case that the territory
eventually would become Italian.

SEVEN OF SUBMARINE
CREW ARE MISSING

LONDON, April lS.-The British, as
an Offset to their success In destroying
n Turkish torpedo boat which attacked
tho transport Manitou off Chios yes
terday, lost the submarine ELS. which.
while carrying out difficult reconnois-
sance in the Dardanelles mine field. ran
aground on Kephez Point, the crew be-
ing made prisoners.
According to the Turkish report,
seven of the submarine crew are miss
ing.
In Egypt British nirmcn have dropped
bombs on the Turkish encampment near
the border, while n French cruiser, the
fire of which was directed by a seaplane,
has been throwing shells on the Turks
near Ell Arish. where the army for tho
invasion OF Egypt has its headquarters.
These operations were undertaken
presumably to harass the Turks, as
the Turks have not shown any inten-
tion OF attacking the British since their
last repulse along the canal.
In the Carpathans there has been
fighting. but no battle to be compared
with those which the arrival OF spring
brought to n close. The Austrians re-
port that they have repulsed Russian
attacks southeast OF Lupkow Pass, in
flicting heavy losses on their adver-
saries, but elsewhere comparative calm
prevails.
FRENCH FORCES AGAIN

The French again have been active

height near Metzeral. The British, too.

How To Prevent
Acid Stomachs And
Food Fermentation
by n New York Physician

My experience has forced me to the
conclusion that most people who com
plain OF stomach trouble possess stom-
achs that are absolutely healthy and
normal The real trouble, that which
causes all the pain and difficulty, is
excessive acid in the stomach, aEgra- :
waited by food fermentation. Hyperacid- =
.ity irritates the delicate lining of the
stomach abnormally. causing that full,
bloated feeling. Thus both acid and
fermentation Interfere with and retard
the process of digestion. The stomach
wall is usually healthy and normal but
irritated almost past endurance by
these foreign elements-acid and wind,
In all cases-and they comprise a great
majority of all stomach difficulties-
the first and only step necessary is to
neutraliZe the acid and stop the fer
mentation by taking in n little warm
or cold water Immediately after eating,
from one to two teaspoonfuls of bisu-
rated magnesia, which is the most ef-
fective antacid and food corrective I
have ever found. The excess acid will
be neutralized and the fermentation IN
stopped almost instantly, and your
stomach win at once proceed to digest
the food in a healthy normal manner.
Be sure to ask your druggist for bisu-
rated magnesia rather than maEnesIa
