Spanish Unrest is Partly Due
TO Agitation in Military Circles

As important is the agitation OF the
democratic group. which is daily grow
ing more dissatisfied with the govern
ments attitude towards the belllger-
cnts and lack OF flrmness with regard
TO the Central Empires. This group,
which comprises the various anti-con-
siitutional parties and has been sup

called the BLOCK OF the Left" is work.
ing with combined energies TO give
Spanish neutrality a frankly Entento-
phile character. One OF the ends in
view is a diplomatic rupture with the
Central Empire. the pretext for which
would be the German submarine ex-
plots against Spanish shipping.
The third factor, the unrest in the
working classes, is entirely due TO the
economic crisis. Sympathy for one or
the other group OF belligerents varies
according to the different regions.
/ The main object Of the Democratic
party is 10 turn both the military and
the proletariat movements to It's own
benent, by co-ordlnating them and
giving them a common direction.
As regards the military malcODtents.
this appears quite feasible, In view OF
! the fact that so far the army has con-
cerned itself very little with the ac-
( tual form OF the government. There

persuade the dissatisfied military elc-
ments that their aims are shared by

hesitate to make common cause with
them.
The democratic group is likewise
/ counting on turning the labor unrest
TO its advantage. II a general strike Is
proclaimed which seems quite likely,
and another cabinet crisis is the result,

casion offers itself.
On the other hand the declaration
signed by the leaders OF the three po-
ltical parties which fused to form the

that this group contemplates vigor-
Gus action. even independently Of the
army and labor movements.

a bandage or starts to knit a trench

something that counts for her coun-
try-she can see to it that over her

floats a flag
Sentiment, " you say. But what
we want now is actiOn-reaI service,

But every flag that floats adds
something real to the strength Of the
country. 1t adds, in fact, the only
reality there is, the only strength
there is-the strength and abiding
reality Of a great idea!
When Pres. Wilson reviewed the
fleet two years ago, he said:
when / think of the flag that
those ships carry, the only touch of
color about them ! see alter
nate stripes of parchment upon
which are written the right of liberty
and Justice, the stripes of blood, |
spilled to Vindicate those rights; and |
then, in the corner, a prediction of
the blue serene, into which every ma
ton may swim, which stands for !
these great things"
And so every household that dis !
plays this emblem must Of necessity |
feel something of the sacredness of.
liberty and justice; and must cher !
ish some hope for that blue serene |
into which every nation may some |
day sail because this nation stands |

Why rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather !
By VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, N. D.

A close connection exists between
these Two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, Of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system Of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, IS the real cause OF rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold there is
often a copious sediment of briekdust
Several causes may lead up TO an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw OF the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason
