Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Deafness is caused by in famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is 1nfamed you have a runlbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

Likely to Receive His Passports From
Uncle Sam Because of His
Alleged Activities

BY the United Press Associations.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-It is be-
iieved that German Ambassador j
Won Bnerstorff has been caught in a
trap from which he cannot escape
Washington has concluded that Won
Bernstorff faces the necessity of ad-
m1tting improper activities or having
the facts proved against him by the
papers taken from Wolfe Won Igel who
was arrested in New York on bomb
plot charges. 1t was freely predicted
that Ambassador Won Bernstorff might
receive his passports for reason in
dependent of the submarine controv-
ersy.
The trap results from Ambassador
Won Bernstorff's desire to retain the
documents, yet he does not officially
admit they are the property of the
embassy. If the embassy refuses the
papers involving a criminal propogan-
da, the government is free to use

BERLIN, April 21.-(By wireless
via Tuckerton.) )-Germany can go nc
further in its submarine concessions
to America, Admiral Won Holtzen-
dorff, chief of the admiralty staff, de-
clared in an interview to the United
Press today.
I'VE have no desire to break with
the United States," he said THAT
would be insanity. We shall not
bring it about despite the desire to
push vigorously the submarine war
fare. Many of our submarines have
sighted scores of passenger ships be-
tween England and America and none
were touched, although we knew eve
cry one were carrying munitions to
the Allies. We have definitely agreed
to warn the crews on passenger lin
ers and have lived up to our promise
in every way.
I'VE cannot be asked to regard
freighters in the same manner. We
could have destroyed hundreds of
thousands of tons of the enemy ships
except for the promises we gave Am
erica" He admitted that some of the
German submarines had been lost
since March 1st

printed today. Good Friday made it
impossible to obtain an expression

A reply is unlikely before the end of
next week. Bankers, merchants and
heads OF government departments will
probably be summoned for a con-
ference over the reply.
Newspapers almost unanimously
declared that Germany won't yield,
though most of them expressed the
opinion that diplomatic break won't
result. Vossische Zeitung predicted
that congress will prevent a breach.

Convention Cheers for T. r.

TWIN FALLS, April 21-(Special }
The republican state convention in
session here yesterday unanimously
placed United States Senator William
E. Borah of Idaho at the head of the
delegation elected to attend the ma
tional convention at Chicago on June
7th. The above delegates and alter
+. mates were elected and. resolutions
adopted following day of speech
making. The mention of Roosevelt's
name provoked wild applause.
The platform deplores the decline
of national prestige, characterizes the
administration record as one of un-
paralleled incapacity, discord, and
shame, refers in scathing terms to
outrages in Mexico, douts the presi-
dents policy of sending notes, in
dorses Senators Borah and Brady and
expresses confidence in party sue
cess.
No mention is made of the con-
gressmen or of presidential prefer
ence. No instruction is given to the
delegates.
