TAvENNER AND THE NAVY LEAGUE.

ID REPRESENTATIVE CLYDE H. TAVENNER has the
N Navy League Of the United States on his back.
Henry Ford is his companion in misfortune
suit Of placing absolute confidence in the accusations
made by Tavenner against the League.
The organization is a non-partisan patriotic
ciety It's purposes to acquire and to spread be-
fore the citizens Of the country information the
condition of the United States naval forces and ships
and to awaken public interest and activity in all mat
ters tending aid improve and develop the efficiency
of the navy. The slogan of the League is that "The
command OF the makes a nation impregnable."
In open letter the League takes Ford to task for
having fit in certain advertisements going out
over his signature to quote charges made by Tavenner
against the League These charges to the effect
that the League is supported and its activities domi-
mated by munitions makers"
In that letter it is pointed out as a sample of the
inaccuracy of Mr.. Tavenner's statement, he gives
an alleged list the founders of the Navy League
nineteen in number But ONE OF these named
actually a founder Of the League Attention also
is called the that says he has tried
to investigate the activities of the League and that the
League has not responded afforded opportunity
for such investigation He also charges that the League
has never refuted his statements
"The Navy League has desire to answer Mr.. Ford,
but it resents the publication by Mr. Ford Of these
charges without proper substantiaton by himself the
League says. "The Navy League has written let
warning him that Mr.. Tayenner did not show evidence
of being disinterested person in this matter, and
showing that Mr.. Tayenner actually ready to en-
courage preparedness. provided his pet phase Of
it, namely, ammunitions plant in his district and
the enlargement of the Rock Island Arsenal sup
ported by the Navy League
"As TO the Navy Leagues not having refuted Mr. rav-
enners accusations, this is absolutely incorrect Not
! only before Mr.. Tavenners speech of December Is,
these accusations openly disproved and refuted
by Colonel Thompson. President Of the League and
its secretary in letters made public through the
! but also number Of occasions since, the League
has shown the absurdty and mproprety Of the accu-
sations made by Mr.. Tavenner As TO investigation
the League invites the fullest Investigation It's books
are open and always have been The League will be
glad to have investisaton In fact It with the
fullest of the League that Congressman
=. Gardner introduced resolution calling for in
vesgation of the League The League will be glad to
have this resolution passed and the Investigation Or
! dered"
II seems to us that that letter leaves both Mr. Tav-
and Mr.. Ford in position from which, for their
credits sake, they should lose no time in extri-
| eating themselves.

Pnnples. sores and boils usually result
from toxins, poisons and impurities
which are generated in the bowels and
then absorbed into the blood through the
very ducts which should absorb only
nOurishment to sustain the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and cast
them out in the form of urine, but in
many instances the bowels create more
toxins and Wities than the lSidneyes
can eliminate, then the blood uses the
sKir es as the next best means of
getting rid of these impurities which
often break out all over the skin in the
form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says noted authority,
is to get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts and take table
spoonful in a glass Of hot water each

March. 1915, Great Britain and France

whatever else they may have done,
these nations have taken Jealous
care not to endanger the lives of
neutrals. If this government had in
August, 1914, called Germany's at

Belgium and Luxembourg, peaceful
and neutral governments, were un-
lawfully invaded and devastated;
civil guards were shot when captured
on the false pretence that they were
not entitled to fight in defence OF
their country as part of the military
force: cities and towns in Belgium
and France were destroyed and thou
sands of innocent non-combatants
shot on the alleged ground that Ger
man soldiers had been fired upon by
snipers: arships made murderous
attacks upon defenceless non-com-
batants in cities and towns; civilians
by the thousands were unlawfully
taken from their homes in Belgium
and France and shipped to Germany,
standing in cattle cars and unpro-
vided with food; poisonous gases were
used in battle to asphyXiate Ger
many's enemies. Though all of these
things were done, in plain violation
OF international law. and though the
United States was vitality concerned
in the sanctity Of their international
contracts and in keeping alive the
laws Of humanity. no protest or re-

It has been emphasized in this
Great War that declarations Of inter

mere recommendations OF rules Of
right conduct if their enforcement be
left to belligerents. However, m9ch

herself from destruction, she must

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; AS is well known. our Presi-
dent, in the submarine controversy, re-
cited and reiterated to Germany the
settled principles OF international
law. and threatened to hold her to
"strict accountability for violation
thereof, involving the lives of our
citizens. but, nevertheless, Germany
continued her murderous career, linn
tied only by the power and alertness
of The British and French navies, cOu-
pied with the arming Of merchant YES
sells for defence.
If our people had realized at the
time the actual facts concerning the
sinking of the Lusitania, now admit
ted by Germany, the Administration
could hardly have chloroformed their
Indignation. At first Germany assert
cd that the Busitania was an armed
auxiliary cruiser and the sinking
thereof, without warning. justified
when the assertion was disputed the
German Ambassador procured per
iured afidavits to the effect that the
purjurers had seen mounted guns on
the vessel before it left New York
This government having assertained
the falsity Of the ahidavits, from it-
own officers. the German government
then pretended to give .is ambassa-
