The KIND OF
TOBACCO
YOU LIKE
American Navy" Has the De-
IiciOus. Lasting Taste
That Satisfies
FULL OF JUICY SWEETNESS

For purity, wholesomencss and de-
licious goodness, no way Of using to-
bacco can equal chewing it-and no
form Of chew can compare with rich,
mellow, juicy Plug tobacco.
Take American Navy for example.
There's tasty tobacco for you. An
elastic, lasting chew crammed full of
juicy sweetness. A chew that holds its
savory flavor longer than any other to-
bacco.
In American Navy you get all the
qualities you like so much in scrap
tobacco plus the richer mellower, juic-
ier favor that only Ping can give you.
American Navy has been the favor
ite of sturdy, steady chewers for years.
You can't begin to get the same salts
faction out of any other tobacco.
Made of choice, ripe, whole leaf by
the most modern sanitary processes,
American Navy is better than many
chewing tobaccos that cost you more.
Be sure you're equipped with a supply
of American Navy before you tackle
another days work. In SC and l0c cuts.

las introduced in the House bill en-
oodying the proposals OF the Depart
ment of Commerce for tagging" motor
boats just as automobiles are now
tagged" The tags" will be lettered
and numbered by customs districts, and
the purpose of the measure is TO assure
identification Of vessels that violate
navigation rules or are involved in acci-
tents. Mr.. Redfeld, secretary of COM
nerce, wrote TO Mr.. Alexander a letter
explaining the bill. MIR. Redfeld stated
hat the bill had been drawn after con-
ultstion with motor boat associations,

the owner could be found in the Custom

bet is exhausted the letter would pre-
'cde the number; for instance. "A-25"
would mean that the boat was num-

new vessels arrangements might be
made TO award such vessels reason

DUBLIN CAPTURED
London, April 25.-Irish rebels are
in possession of four or five parts of
the city of Dublin, after twenty-fOur
hours of most serious rioting. Angus
tine Birrel, chief secretary for Ire
land, announced in the House of
Commons this afternoon.
Telegraphic communication with
Dublin has been cut off, Indicating
that the principal portion of the city
is held by the rebels.
The rioters seized the Dublin post
office. Soldiers arriving from Cur
ragh quelled the rioters after a street
battle in which twelve persons were
killed. The situation is now under
control Of the authorities, Birrell an
nOUnced.
The Outburst Of riOting, it is con-
sidered certain, was part Of we'll
organized German attempt to stir up
a great revolution in Ireland.
For several weeks some Irish news
papers have been appearing, carrying
seditious articles opposing any par
ticipation in the war on the part of
Irish men. The organization known
as the Irish Volunteers has held pa
rades as counter demonstrations to
the efforts of English recruiting
agents.
