BRITISH NAVAL BASE.
Mate of American Vessel Says it is at
Orkney Islands.

ROTTERDAM, May 25.-The Brit
ish North Sea battleship fleet is at the
Orkney Islands, north Of Scotland, ac-
cording to information brought by the
mate of an American merchant ship,
which was held at Kirkwall, in the
Orkney Islands, pending examination.
The officer slipped ashore and made
complete circuit of the Kirkwall
mainland. From the top of a noun
tain which overhangs the landlocked
harbor he had an excellent view of the
great hidden naval base. There were
more than 20 great warships lying at
anchor under the lee of the island of
Hoy Forty of these were dread
naughts and battle cruisers. Thirty
were older battleships and large armor-
ed cruisers In other parts of the bay
were fleets of warships of other types.
To the left of the battleship fleet
was an amanda of more than a hun
bred wicked looking destroyers, while
still further to the left was a fleet OF
armed merchantmen, probably to be
used as transports. Behind the dread
naught fleet, built out from the sandy
shore, was long wharf with several
small buildings upon it. To this wharf
a fleet of submarines was tied, side by
side, in groups Of four.

RESULTS OF THE HARRISON LAW.

While the Harrison law prohibiting
the sale of habit forming drugs to any
person unless prescribed by a physi-
clan has been in effect since March 1,
it will be a number of months before
q correct estimate of its benefits can be
made, according to the secretary OF the
state board of pharmacy. 1t is very
possible that users of morphine and
kindred drugs laid in a supply in Feb
ruary and that they still have a guam
titv on hand. Statesmen for wholesale
drug firms say they are receiving prac-
tically no orders for morphine, cocaine,
heroin or the like, and of course retail
sales have stopped except as prescrip-
tions are filed by local druggists.
One may read in the newspapers OF
various cities of asylums being filled
with drug users, but nothing i'll partic,
ular has happened that can be ascribed
to the summary shutting off Of the
sales of dope in Vermont. Nor
phine has always been the drug most
used by unfortunates hereabouts. Many
/ addicted to it have acquired the habit
honestly because it was given them
first by a physician for a proper pur-
/ pose. perhaps to deaden some terrible
pain, ana from this they learned its
power and later sought its soothing
/ effects without medical sanction. TIC
| this class the Harrison law offers OPP
| portunity to be rid of the habit Nor
/ phine cannot now be obtained for the
asking, and to get it one must put him
self under the care of some regular
practitioner. 1t is best to do this even
/ il sufficient will power is possessed to
break off the deadly habit by oneself.
for in many cases it means death or in
sanity to stop in any other way than
by gradual reduction of the amount
taken.
The trainers of the Harrison law
aimed more than all else to save the
next generation by putting beyond tho
reach of the boys and girls OF to-day
the drugs that viii injure them. Thai
the new law will certainly accomplish
this Iaudable purpose is the opinion OF
every pharmacist who is acquainted
with conditions as they existed previ
Gus to March j, last.

LIFE SAVED AFTER
OPERATION FAILED
Mrs. Glare Shaw of Providence
Used Wonderful
Remedy.

Mrs. Glare Shaw of 4e3 Dexter ST.,
Providence, r. l., was a sufferer
from stomach and liver troubles for
many years. She was treated both in
the United States and abroad. She
underwent an operation. Still she
suffered.
Then she took Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy and found swift relief. In a
letter telling OF her case she said:
Il received your sample treatment
the day before Christmas and it saved

manent results for stomach, liver and

The first big cargo-laden steamer to
pass through the Cape Cod canal made
the trip last week, thereby saving
about so miles on its voyage from Bos-
ton to New York in addition to 10
tons OF fuel. The savings in time,
however, was comparatively little ow-
ing to the slow speed at which the
vessel was obliged to traverse the new
artificial waterway. The trip was an
experiment, made at the invitation of
the canal company, but officials of the
steamship line say they cannot use the
short cut profitably until toll rates are
reduced.

Persons who looked for trouble

count of President Wilson 5 firm stand
on the Lusitania incident bid fair to

view on this cubject Charles w. Bar

Bureau, is quoted as saying: "What
has surprised me most is the sentiment
of German-American citizens in this
country. Many of the men with whom
/ have tolked and whose relations have

in sQ-called German-American circles
that if Germany refuses to make re
paration for the sinking of the Lusi-

ture in Centre Church.
A Summer Camp for Boys was the
subject of a stereopticon lecture in the
Centre Congregational church last
evening by Byron n Clark, secretary
of the Y. NJ. G. A. of Vermont. The
lecture dealt with Camp Abnaki on the
island of North Hero, in Lake Cham
plain, and the pictures showed the
camp and camp life The audience was
small, but the lecture and pictures
were full OF interest.
Camp Abnaki opens for its 10Th sea
son June "a and will close Sept 2.
This camp is conducted by the state
committee of the Y. NJ. c. A. of Yer
mont, in personal charge of Mr.. Clark.
A group of experienced men also as
sists and guides the boys in their
activities and pleasures while at the
camp
The camp is equipped with all that
goes to make boy s vacation full of
instruction, pleasure and safety, under
skillful leadership. There are swim,
ming places, a good baseball field, and
| q field for track events, while the san
itary and food conditions are of tins
best.
Conditions for entering this camp
life are so simple as to be open t.
all, as any honest boy who has passed
his 18th birthday anniversary i
eligible, and the cost only So a weel

lowed, air rifles or tobacco; no swim
ming except at regular times, in pres
ence of leaders; no use of boats o

Lumber dealers in the state of Wash
ington complain bitterly over the
working of the tariff law Into one
county alone it is said that approx
mately 1000 cars of Canadian lumber
and shingles were shipped during the
first four months of the year, and mill
men claim that 1000 carloads of this
amount would not have been marketed
in the United States under the ole
tariff. The Washington mill operators
say they are unable to compete with
the cheap Oriental labor employed by
the Canadian manufacturers, and it is
the small plants that seem to be hit
the hardest.
