GOING TO CANADA IS EASY
Dominion Government Says American
Travellers Suffer No Inconvenience
or Annoyances.

Ottawa, Canada, July 10.-Informa-
ton from many sources has reached
the Canadian government that many
American summer tourists DESTROYS of
visiting Canadian recreation places
are not doing so because of a fear of
CONSUMPTION into the Canadian mill
tary forces, and because of a seeming
ly general belief that Americans are
not permitted to visit Canada without
obtaining passports, and being sub
jected to the Inconvenience of travel
found in the warning nations of Eu-
rope.
To correct this the government has
issued a statement to the effect that
there is no CONSUMPTION of any kind
in force in Canada other than that of
British-born subjects who would be
subject to consumption if living in
England. This would not apply to
anyone born in England who is now a
naturalized American citizen.
Canada is recruiting troops for
service in Europe, but recruiting Off
GERS are not permitted to solicit en-
listments from any but native or nat
uralized Canadians.
Tourists or other travellers from the
United States to Canada are not SUBJ
jected to any inconvenience of any
kind other than the usual customs ex-
animation of baggage that has always
been customary. Passports or other
official means of Identification are not
needed, but it is suggested that those
born in foreign countries, and now
naturalized American citizens, carry
with them their certificates of natural
ization.

rotary of State for War-Takes
Late Kitchener's Post.

London, July s. David Lloyd
George, minister of munitions, was ap-
pointed secretary of state for war, sue

been chancellor of the exchequer.

$40 Vote.

Washington, July 12.-Without any
fundamental change, the Democrats
put through the house on Monday
night their emergency revenue bill by

more than $2OO,OO0O00 year, virtu-
ally doubles the income tax rates,
llevies a tax on inheritances and the
production of munitions of war, Gre
ates a tariff commission, embodies

Washington, July 1O.-A note for
mally accepting Carranzas proposal
that differences between the United
States and the de facto government
Of Mexico be settled by direct negotia-
lions was handed on Friday to Eliseo

designate.
The text of the note follows:
".Mr. Secretary: / have the honor
to acknowledge the receipt Of your
courteous note transmitted to me by
Senior ArredondO on the 4th inst, in
which you refer to my notes of June 20
and June %, and to assure you of the
sincere qualification of my government
at the frank statement of the difficult
ties which have unfortunately arisen
in our relations along the information
al boundary, and the unreserved ex-
preston of the desire of your govern
ment to reach an adjustment of these
difficulties on a broad ard amicable
basis. The same spirit of friendship
and of solicitude for the continuance
of cordial relations between our two
countries inspires my government
which equally desires an immediate
solution of the matters of difference
which have long vexed both govern
mentS.
SIT is especially pleasing to my
government that the de facto govern
ment of Mexico is disposed to give
quick as well as practical considera-
ton in a spirit of concord to the rem
edies which may he applied to the ex-
listing conditions. Reciprocating the
same desire, the government of the
United States is prepared Immediate
" to exchange views as to a practical
plan to remove finally and prevent a
recurrence Of the difficulties which
have been the source of the contro-
versy.
" Accept, Mr. Secretary, the re-
newed assurances of my highest con-
sideration. am, sir, yours very sin
cerely. ROBERT LANSING

is not sure that it can protect the
American frontier from bandit raids.
Ambassador Designate Arredondo so
notified the state. department And in
connection with that notification he
suggested that all American troops on
the border be unusually active.
The new position assumed by Gen
era1 Carranza and his advisers was a
distinct relief to the United States.
Orders Immediately were rushed to
the various commanders all along the
to keep their troops ready for any
eventuality.

U-BOAT REACHESU. s.
GERMAN SUBMARINE MAKES
TRIP OF 4,1so MILES IN
is DAYS.
CARRIES 1000 TONS OF DYE
Craft Beats British Blockade and All
SubmersibIe Records-Chased 300
Miles by Enemy Warships-Jour-
neys Under Water 1900 Miles.


Baltimore, Nd, July IL. - The
German merchant supersubmarine
Deutschland has arrived in Chesa-
peake bay.
Long expected, ridiculed, fabulous as
the sea serpent or the Flying Dutch
man, she became reality to the watch
ers off Cape Henry at exactly 1:2O
Sunday and slowly made her way
through a network of inQuisitive ships
and through the maZes of red tape OF
the quarantine and customs officials to
her dock at the pier of the Eastern
Forwarding company, Locust Point,
Baltimore.
She is the largest submarine afoat.
The largest German war models are
less than 300 feet long. But this sub
marine of commerce is 315 feet long,
exactly one-third the length of the
largest merchant vessels afioat-the
Vaterland and ImperatOr.
The boat carries no passengers. Her
cargo consists Of $50 tons of dyestuffs
and chemicals.
The diver also carries message
from Emperor William to President
Wilson and large amount Of mail,
and is to carry back home similar
amount of nickel and crude rubber,
sorely needed by the German army.
She is commanded by Captain KO-
mig and has crew of 20 men. Both
captain and crew are drawn from the
German merchant fleet and not from
the navy. The craft is unarmed and
is being treated by the United States
like any other merchant ship.
1t is said that she submerged when
ever she saw any vessel, on the chance
that i. might be warship. The Eng
lish government was not among those
who regarded the TRANSATLANTIC sub
mersihle as joke, and the report is
that the Deutschland was chased for
80 hours by English and French war
ships. She submerged and eluded them
by travelling out of her course 300
miles.
Because she was forced to make this

rine distance travel.
She ran through. the North sea sub
merged practically all the time. She
was forced to submerge again for
time when she got tWo-thirds of the
way across, when she sighted Dutch
merchant vessel in her path. And,
some 600 miles off the Virginia coast,
she was frightened out to sea again for
a distance Of some 200 miles by enemy.
warships. But on her return she was
able to come to the surface hundred
miles from land and was not forced to
submerge again.
The Deutschland was met off Cape
Henry by the tug Thomas F. Timmons
of the Eastern Forwarding company.
She had been waiting at the capes for
the past II days, and couple Of days
ago Capt. f. Hinsch, the marine super
intendent of the Ocean Transportation
company, as the new merchant marine
line is called, went on board the Tim
mons. He directed the plotting of the
ship.

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR @
 KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
If your Back is aching or Bladder hothers, drink lots of water and
 eat less meat.

When, your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with q lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and ys irritate the entire urin- ary tract Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with mild, harmless salts which removes the body's urin- ous waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In A hours they strain from it 800 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any pharma- cist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. The famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in . lure: makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active Try this, also keep up the water drinking and no doubt you will wonder what became of vour kidney trouble and bagkache.
