CAUSING ANXIETY
Netherlands Newspapers Acknowl- edge Merit of Remarks of Japan csc Statesman Which Inspired
 Doubt in Holland

Rotterdam, Netherlands, May L. Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-The Nieume Rotterdam Cour- ant publishes two striking articles dealing with recent Japanese utter ances concerning the importance to Japan of Sunda strait. which separ- atees the Dutch East Indian islands of Java and Sumatra. The strait is re- garded by the Japanese publicist, Yusaburo Takekoshi, as a key to the defense of the far east. and his com ment on the importance of this posi- fion has been the cause of some anx iety in the Netherlands.
 The Courant urges the Dutch colonial authorities to proceed at once to forti- fly the Sunda strait and "do away with the uneasiness that weak neighbor living at the mercy of a strong power must inspire in Japan"

IMPROVE RELATIONS

The paper continues: Far from adopting an attitude of anxious and timit, standoffishness in regard to Japan,.1et us do our best to improve and extend our relations with that country.
 The Netherlands must seek Japan's friendship for it's pupil, Dutch East India, and should freely respond to all endeavors toward rapproachment on the part of Japan. In the Japanese she sees great nation, with immeasurable possibilities for good. It is no use to

 Cough Stop the Thing that Causes 1t and the Cough will
 Stop Itself

A cough is really one of our best friends. It warns us that there. IS ln- fammation or obstruction in a danger ous place. Therefore, when you get a bad cough don't proceed to dose yourself with a lot of drugs that merely "stop" the cough temporarily by deadening the throat nerves Treat the cause-heal the infamed membranes. Here is a home made remedy that gets right at the cause and will make an obstinate cough vanish more quickly than you ever thought pos sible.
 Put 21a ounces of Pinex (50 cents worth in pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup. This gives you full pint of the most pleasant and effective cough remedy you ever used, at cost of only 54 cents. No bother to prepare. Full directions with Pinex.
 It heals the inhamed membranes so gently and promptly that you wonder how it does it. Also loosens a dry, hoarse or tight cough and stops the forma tion of phlegm in the throat and bronchial tubes, thus ending the persistent loose cough.
 Pnex is highly concentrated com pound of Norway pine extract, rich in guaiacol, and is famous the world over for it's healing effect on the membranes.
 To avoid disappointment. ask your druggist for "21A ounces of Pinex." and don't accept anvthino else. A guarantee of absolute satisfaction, or money prompt lv refunded goes with this preparation. The Pinex Co.,, Fit. Wayne, Ind.

 Investigating Collision.
 Members of the public utilities Ommission were here yesterday to investigate the collision between two trolley cars on the New Britain line in which six passengers were injured accident was filed with the board and the members came to Plainville to personally look over the locality where the cars came together.
 Their investigation had not been completed today and they had no an nounceme ent to make as to the cause of the crash.
 While the Connecticut com pany has thus far refused to make any state ment regarding the responsibility for the wreck, the opinion prevails among trolleymen familiar with the conditions that the motorman on the "extra" was largely to blame. The track is nearly straight at the point where the cars collided and there is practically no grade. Railroad men hold that in all obability the "ex- tra' was running too close to the car ahead of 1t and when the latter stopped at the crusher to discharge passenger the motorman following was unable to apply his brakes in time to avert the crash.
 The crew on the regular is working as usual but the motorman on the "extra" has been laid off until New Haven" decides on the merits of his report.
