posed corporation was looked for.
Victory For Donner
Announcement that the deal had
Kuhn, Loeb and Company and the Ma
ional City Bank dropped their plans
for underwriting the consolidation.
This was followed by a statement in
this city by William II. Donner, presi-
dent of Cambria Steel, that the mer-
ger plans will not be taken up again.
He also said that plans were under
consideration for the development of
the company's property and intimated
that in few days stockholders may
expect an announcement outlining the
future of Cambria Steel. The failure
of the merger plans is regarded as a
victory for Mr.. Donner who at no
time enthused over the proposition.
Excitement in Street
On the Stock Exchange to-day Cam
bria stocks opened at 76 to 75, against
Saturdays closing price of 7715 and
quickly advanced to 10, then back to

tions of 10000 shares. Not since the

ure of the proposed merger of the
Cambria Steel Lackawanna Steel and

shares breaking all records for the

element in Reading shares in 1898.
Statement by Donncr
Soon after the exchange opened q
statement TO shareholders was issued
by the three men who had been active
in the proposed merger +. T. Stotes-
bury. w. II. Donner and J. L. Rep
logic. The statement reads:
while it is true as reported that
Cambria Steel Company with other
steel companies has been abandoned,
ii is desirable that the stockholders
should be advised imme mediately that
other negotiations looking to the sale
of the stock have been practically con-
summated at $S1 per share cash. 1t

ment will be made very shortly"

GERMAN PLOT TO
STRIKE CANADA
IS NOW RUMORED
Secret Service Find That 20O,-
600 Rifles Were Sent to Bor-
der From New York
WELLAND CANAL GOAL
To Dynamite Waterway to
Hold Wheat; Officers in Dis
guise Organizing Force
WELLAND CANAL GOAL
Special to the TeisgTaph

New York, Feb. Facts tending
to prove the existence of German
plot to invade Canada for the purpose
of destroying the Welland Canal. the
object of which is to prevent the ship
ment of wheat to the allied govern
ments, have been uncovered by detec-
tives of the Canadian Secret Service.
Other facts revealed by a secret in
vestigation, which has been prosecuted
for weeks in this city and in Connec-
ticut, include the amazing develop
ments that approximately 100000
rifles have been purchased by German
agents here and that these weapons
are being sent by stealth to the Cana
dian border for use when the time
comes to strike the blow against Can
ada.
Scores of Trained Men Here
1t has also developed that during
the last six months scores of trained
German army officers have come to
this city in the guise of Belgian refu-
gees and Scandinavians and that these
are now secretly organizing large COM
panieS of Germans with the aVowed
purpose of making raid upon the
Welland Canal. 1t is said by secret
service agents of Canada that many
thousands of men are enrolled for this
purpose and that the chief designn of
the movement is to cut off an impor-
tant source of supply for the allied
governments now being sent abroad
by Canada.
Another important development in
the statement of one who is well con-
Versant with the situation that nearly
one-third of the munition contracts
entered into by the allied governments
with American manufacturers have
been let to Germans under assumed
names, and that these munitions have
been stored away in places not yet dis
covered by Canadian Secret Service
agents. These munitions, consisting of
shells, shrapnel and immense stores
of rifles it is said, have been paid for
by money deposited in various banks
known agents of the German govern
ment.
To Come Within Two Months
That the raid of this army of Ger
mans is designed to be carried out
within the next two months was the
statement made by one Canadian au-
thority last night. According to the
director of a leading munition plant,
whose name for obvious reasons can
not be disclosed at this time, not sin
gle rifle contracted for by the allied
governments in the year of 1915 was
shipped to Europe prior to last No
vember What became of these rifles,
the Canadian authorities have bent
their best efforts to learn. but thus far,
it was admitted tonight, every effort
to get reliable information regarding
this has het with failure.

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts TO Flush Kidneys and
neutralze irritating
acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says noted
authority. The kidneys filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on
to the bladder, where it often re-
mains to irritate and intiame, caus-
ing burning, scalding sensation,
or setting up an irritation at the
neck of the bladder, obliging you to
seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night The sufferer is in
constant dread the water passes
sometimes with scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most people call
1t, because they can't control urina-
tion. While it is extremely annoy
ing and sometimes very painful, this
is really one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces OF Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast,
continue this for two or three days
This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source
of irritation to the bladder and urin-
ary organs which then act normally
again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lithia, and is used by thousands
of folks who are subject to urinary
disorders caused by uric acid irrita-
ton. Jad Salts is splendid for kid
neys and causes no bad effects what
ever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia- water drink, which quick
ly relieves bladder trouble.

Semple Home Burns.


Yesterday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
the home of F. P. Semple half
mile south of town burned. The loss
was about $4,000, with insurance at
$4,000.
The origin or cause of the fire is
unknown-the conjecture being that
it caught either from a defective
hue or defective wiring The flames
were first seen by neighbors issuing
from the roof and there was never
a chance to save the building
\ large part of the furniture in the
lower rooms was saved, but that in
the upper rooms was almost total
loss.
This home is one of the incest in
town: was built three years ago, and
was one of the prettiest along the
railroad. It was handsomely furnish
ed. and much of the loss is irrepar-
able.
The family was at home at the time
and did not know of the fire until
neighbors came over.
