Washington, April 2O.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
went to the State Department to-day
Tor conference with Secretary Lam
sing on the submarine warfare stu
alton and also to discuss the arrest in
New York OF Wolfe Won Igel, for
mer secretary to the German military
attache, Won Papen.
Secretary Lansing and the German
ambassador were in conference fully
20 minutes. After the ambassador
had left the secretary would make no
statement regarding the discussion.
More Time Needed.
After the conference it was learned
that German diplomats regard the re-
ceipt Of a reply from Germany within
two or three days as physically i'm
possible. 1T was Thought reply
could not be received here before ten
days. 1t was pointed out that Easter
Monday is holiday in Germany, and
that necessary consultations of Off
erals would cause almost another
week to elapse before the German de-
clslon could be transmitted here.
Ambassador Bernstorff refused to
discuss his conversation with Secre-
tary Lansing, but indicated his call
was not prompted by the arrival OF
instructions from his government.

SAYS sackache is sign you have

When YOU wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been

acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed
and loggy When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them. like YOU relieve your bowels;
removing all the bodys urinous waste
else YOU have backache, sick head

the weather is bad you have rheu-
matte twinges. The urine is cloudy
full of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you are
Obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable ply
sician at once or get from your phar'
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts I;

days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and

Constitute Growing Threat.
Before the house naval committee
Rear Admiral Knight today continued
his recommendation that every IA
ciltv I'm the country be employed to
hasten construction of fleet equal
to those of any two nations except
Great Britain. American policies such
as the Monroe Doctrine, Asiatic ex-
cIusion, control of the Panama canal
and the open door in China, he said,
constitute a great and growing threat
of war unless adequate preparations
to uphold them are made.
Admiral Knights said he believed it
would take two years and half TO
make the navy efficient enough to
meet the present German fleet with
any hope of success. The time limit
he set was the minimum required to
build nine battle cruisers and eight
fast scouts. He said it would take
eighteen months to put the ships OF
the Atlantic fleet in full active com
mission in readiness for war.
"Not that we would not make a
good showing against any force in
much less time" he added
Representative I'arr asked if it
would not be necessary to begin con-
struction Immediately in all avail
able government yards if a great
number of capital ships were to be
built in haste. He called attention
TO published figures stating that in
the last ten years Germany had built
173 fighting ships, England 252 and
the United States 6i.
Advises immediate Facilities.
Admiral Knight said he understood
subcommittee of the naval com
mittee would be named later to IN
vestigate the subject of ship-bullding
facilities, public and private. lie ad
yiscd that the Boston, New YORK
Philadelphia, Norfolk, Mare Island
and Puget Sound yards be equipped
Immediately for their maximum out

ant of the marine corps, followed Ad
miral Knight, urging that $50 OF
hcers. ffty.two warrant officers and
2,379 men be added to the corps tt
bring it up to the strength advocated
