The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
got sluggish; the climinative tissues clog

A gigantic banner half mile long
bearing 25O-word message to be read
OF all men. and carried by hundreds of
pIocessionists, was the chief object of

International Question 4
Smoldering in Congress

Congress today showed eager inter-
est in various reports as to modinca-
ton of this Governments policy in
respect to armed merchantmen and
submarines.
over night developments served to
dispel some of the pessimism which
has hung about the Capitol for the
past week or more. Still. it cannot
be said the controversy in Congress
has closed.
Senator La Toilette has prepared ma
terial for a speech on the warning ques-
ton. Other Senators are getting ready
for speeches. Any day for an indefinite
period Is likely to see a fiare-up in
either house, and especially the Senate,
over the international situation.
Senator Cummins is expected to speak
at an early date on the armed merchant
man question and other phases OF the
international complications.
While the fact that II Is now the ninth
day since the new U-boat order Went
into effect and there has been no UNI
toward act tends to give some encour-
agement, officials are not permitting
themselves to build any substantial
fabric of hope on that. They realize
they say. that any day may bring dis
patches telling of some submarine at
tack which might again bring relations
with the central powers to the breaking
point.
