at the special session to be called
for April 2. 1t can cause no imme-
date change in the situation. Since
the destruction of three American
ships last Saturday and Sunday ad-
ministration officials have consider
ed that state of war existed, and
it is to meet this situation that Con-
gress has been summoned to author
ize steps beyond the arming of mer-
chantmen.
The Healdton was unarmed, hav-
ing left port before the President
authorized the navy to furnish guns
and gunners to merchantmen. Her
fate serves to heighten the profound
interest with which the government
and the public awaits the time when
an American vessel prepared and
ready to send shell into a hostile
submarine on sight will enter the
war zone.

General Korniloff and his staff
drove to the palace, where they were
taken to the private apartments,
Of the empress, who appeared in a

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root. DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, 0verc0meS Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re.
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
Is DIR. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

great services the people probably
must undertake the work.
Henry Ware LawtOn served all
through the Civil war and later he
was conspicuous in the various expe-
ditiOns against hostile Indians. 1t was
said of him that he would go into dan
gers into which he would not send one
of his soldiers. 1t was he who in the
spring of 1886 was chosen by General
Miles to lead a picked body of troops
into Mexico in pursuit of the murder
Gus Geronimo. For three months
with saltless mule meat and some
times little of that for ratiOns, he
marched his command 1896 miles
through parched and barren deserts
until Geronimo and his band were cap
tured"
Victim of Sharpshooter.
On December 10, 1899, Lawton was
on the firing line at San Mateo, in the
Philippines. He was very tall and he
wore a brilliant uniform. He was
leading his troops into battle. He fell,
shot through the heart by bullet from
the rifle of an insurgent sharpshOOter.
In the grave next to General Law
ton lies the body of the brave Major
Liscum of the Ninth Infantry, United
States army, who was killed at Tien-
tsin. China, while leading his regiment
in the expedition of the allied nations
to the forbidden city of China. where
the members of the foreign embassies
were besieged by the Chinese Boxers
and whose lives were in imminent dam
ger.
Probably the most beautiful mOnu-
ment in all Arlington from a purely ar
tistic standpoint is the one at the head
of the grave of Major Liscum. Lis
cum deserves this memorial, but 1t
brings out more sharply the fact that
major general of the United States
army who. like Major Liscum, lost his
life in defense of his country is rest
ing in grave virtually unmarked.
