committee in minute detail of the pre-
liminary work of preparing the navy

The naval militia, he said, is being
brought constantly into closer touch
with navy ideas; merchant vessels are
under inspection to determine what
private craft would be Immediately
available in case of war, and each
naval bureau is informed exactly as to
what it. would have to do with these
vessels. Repairs which would make
them effective would last from a few
days to several weeks. he added
The navy is working, Admiral Ben
son testified, on mobilization, organ
izaHon, strategic and supply plans for
quick action should it become neces-
sary TO strike promptly. The mo-
biliZation plan, he said, has been ap-
proved; the organization plan has been
worked out. but is not yet finally ap-
proved: the strategic plan is being
evolved and war games are being
played, but Il fully satisfactory general

DANGEROUS VARICOSE
VEINS CAN BE REDUCED

If you or any relative or friend is
worried because of varicose veins, or
punches, the best advice that anyone
in this world can give is to get pre-
scription that many physicians are now
prescribing.
Ask your druggist for an original
two-ounce bottle of Emerald Oil (full
strength) and apply night and morn
ing to the swollen, enlarged veins
Soon you win notice that they are
growing smaller and the treatment
should be continued until tho veins are
of normal size. So penetrating and
powerful is Emerald Oil that II dis
solves goiter and wcns and causes them
to disappear. 1t can always be secured
at all druggists.-Adv.

Black sea to the Danube, comes the
report that the Roumanians have TAX

In the Predeal pass region, after
