|U-BOAT SANK SHIPS
GERMANS TELLS U. S. STEAMERS
WERE LEGAL VICTIMS OF
SUBMARINE WAR.
THINKS SUSSEX HIT MINE
Note Sent to Washington Says a Yes,
sci Was Torpedoed Near Where
Liner Was Sunk, But Evidence
Shows 1t Was Not the Sussex.

Berlin, April IA Thy wireless) The
German reply to the American note
concerning the damaging or sinking OF
i've steamships contains the statement
that the steamers Englishman, Eagle
Point, Manchester Engineer and Ber-
wlndvale were destroyed by German
submarines. Evidence is presented to
show that these vessels were torpedoed
legally in accordance with the rules OF
| war
The note states that German sub
marine torpedoed a steamship in the
vicinity of the place at which the chan
| mel steamship Sussex was damaged by
an explosion, but that evidence at
| hand indicates that the vessel tor
> pedoed by the submarine was not the
| Sussex.
| The commander of this submarine,
the note says, made a sketch at tne
time This sketch has been compared
with photograph of the Sussex and
has been found to show dissimilarities
in build, arrangement of stacks. etc
Therefore it is presumed mine was
responsible for the damaging of the
Sussex. In the way of confederation
it is stated that German naval forces
destroyed 26 floating mines on that
day.
Regarding the cases of the English
man, Manchester Engineer, Eagle
Point and Berwindvale, it is stated
they were signaled to halt, but dlsre

ing shots were fired.
The statement is made that the sub

CHEERS FOR WILSON
PRESIDENT ASKS IF NATION is
READY TO SACRIFICE FOR
HUMANITYS CAUSE.
SPEAKS AT CLUB DINNER
Hearers Wonder Whether Executive
Means In Mexico or Europe-De-
cIares He Is Interested Seeing Load
Depressing Humanity Lifted.

Washington, April Is. - President
Wilson, speaking at Jefferson day
banquet of Democrats from all parts
of the country here last night, prayed
that the United States would not be
drawn into a quarrel not of its own
choosing, but asked whether the peo-
pie were ready to go in where the in
terests of America we're coincident
with the interests of humanity, and
have the courage to withdraw when
the interests of humanity had been
conserved. He was interrupted Dy
cheers and shouts of Yes"
The president mentioned the Euro
pean war and the Mexican question
without intimating what were his
plans in either of the problems con-
fronting the United States.
He declared that in the present
situation the responsibility was with
the Democratic party because that
party controls the government.
The president declared that he was
not interested in personal ambition
nor even enthusiastic over party sue
cess, but that he was interested IN
seeing the load depressing humanity
lifted.
What the nation demands now, the
president said, is service essentially
nonpartisan, not only in considera
tion of foreign affairs but in domestic
affairs as well.
Referring incidentally to Mexico, ht
told of how a man had urged tha
trustees for that nations welfare b'
chosen, and of his reply that no ma
tion had achieved real prosperity ant
happiness for its masses through
trusteeship imposed on it from above
1t was the first speech of politica
nature the president had made TO
several months. 1t was delivered be
fore an audience including nearly al
the members of his cabinet, Demo
cratic members of the senate AM
house, Democratic state chairmel
from many states, and other high OF
flcials of the nation and states.
The president was referred to re
peatedly as the next president" b,
Senators Hollis and Walsh and Rer
resentative Glass, who preceded him
and each utterance of his name wa
received with enthusiastic applause.

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat II Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
1t generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full o. sediment, channels oft.
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
ana your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids In the urine so 1t no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
iniure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.-Adv.

PROSPERITY IN
WESTERN CANADA
900 Million Dollars in New Wealth
Added in 1915.

Canada as a whole has enjoyed won
derful prosperity in 1915. from the
products of the farm, the orchard and
the centres of industry. No country
wrote a brighter page of history in
agricultural and industrial develop
ment during 1916 than Canada. Nearly
q billion bushels OF grain produced.
Taxes IN Western Canada average $24
and will not exceed $35 per quarter
section, which includes all taxes. No
taxes on improvements.
When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the EN-
pire no better service for the time
being than to assist in harvesting the
crops. For that reason leave Of alb
sence was given to soldiers who
wished to work in the harvest fields,
and their labor was an important fac
tor In harvesting the big crops success
fully.
The necessity for increasing the ag.
ricultural production is commanding
even more attention in 1915, and 1t is
now announced that soldiers in Can
ada may obtain leave Of absence from
their military duties in the spring for
a certain length of time to enable
them to plant the seed for the crops
IN every Province of the Dominion.
The fact that the Government rec
ognizes the seeding and harvesting ol
Canada's crops as being of the first
importance is perhaps the best evi
dence that conscription or any in
crease Of taxes which would reduce
the agricultural activity Of Canadt
will never be considered by the author
tiles.
Owing to the number who have en-
listed for overseas service it has beer
found necessary to secure farm labo1
IN the United States. 1t is hoped tha
nfty thousand can be secured.-AdveT

Chicago, April 1.-THE specter Of
sugar at 10 cents a pound hovers over
