WASHINGTON ASKS NEWS OF
AMERICAN coNsULs IN

Washington, Feb. 19.-The situation
of American citizens in the countries
of the Teutonic allies became the prime
Consideration of the United States in
the German crisis.
An inquiry was dispatched to Ger
many on Friday asking where and
why American consular officers had
been delayed in their departure.
The demand for the release of the
YarrOwdale prisoners was withheld
from delivery to Germany pending Of
fetal advices as to the release of those
Y American sailors. The German gov
eminent announced they had been
given their liberty.
The state department showed con-
Germ over the delay in the departure
of the American consular officers.
Eighty-siX American cOnsuls, with
their families, and many private Amer
lean citizens desiring to leave Germany
were reported ready to start for Swift
zerland on a special train early this
week.
Ambassador Gerard, from Berne
notified the state department that the
train should leave "sOme time this
week." Since then nothing has been
heard from the trainlOad of Ameri-
cans.
On the other hand, a telegram con-
tanning assurances by the German
government that American consular
officials and their families would not
be INSTRUCTED in leaving Germany,
was sent to the department by the
Spanish embassy.
While the tension In the interna-
tional situation was considerably les
sened by the unofficial reports of the
release of the YarrOwdale prisoners
and the reports of concessions granted
to Minister Brand Whitlock and Ameri-
can relief workers in Belgium, the
state department continued its efforts
to assure safety of Americans in Ger

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Fl. Thomas, Ky.-Approximately
s33. 900 was disbursed to members OF
the Savage Second" Regiment, Ken
lucky National Guard, at FIT. Thomas,
before they were formally put in fur
Tough to the reserves and mustered out
of the Federal service here.
The money was payment for
month and a half's service, and was
paid to them Immediately prior to the
reading of an order releasing the men
from Federal service. According to
oaths taken last summer, when the
men were called to the colors, they re-
vert to their old status as national
guardsmen, but they are subject to the
call of their country within the next
six years. In the event of an emer-
gency with another country it would
be possible for the men to be recalled
Immediately.
Il hope they let us stay home few
days and then I'll be ready to go to
work for Uncle Sam again." said one
guardsman He voiced the sentiments
of virtually all the men in the regi-
ment.
Although it will cost the Government
approximately 100000 to pay the sol
diers, the release discontinued auto
matically the payment of pensions un-
der the dependency clause. More than
200 of the guardsmen have been en-
tered on this list, providing that their
relatives, who were dependent upon
the result of their labors when they
were called to the colors last summer
might receive from $50 to $50 month
as their needs required.
All about the camp before being mus
tered out was an air of hustle and bus
tie incident to breaking camp. Big
motor trucks were making the jour
ney to the station at Newport AND
back again. Each company carried its
equipment to the home station to be
placed at the disposal of the Captain
of each of the 10 companies.

UricAcid!

Ever since the discovery of Scheele In
1775 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
1t was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent
called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that il taken before meals will carry off
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
joints and all the distressing symptoms
of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
irug store, or send DR.. Pierce Zoe. for
trisi package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric Is many times more actiTe
than ithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.
