SENATOR WILLIAMS
FOR VIGOROUS WAR
Favors Training of 100000
Men and Seizure of German
Interned Ships:

Declaring the best defensive was al
training of 100000 men. Senator
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi
gave out an interview in which he
favored a most vigorous war policy.
He urged that these steps be taken:
l. Give the ships of all the allies
free access to American ports, har-
bors and coaling stations.
?. Allow free transit through the
United States and over our railroads
of Canadian and any other troops.
Would Train 100000 Men.
3. Take possession Immediately of a
sufficient number of German interned
ships to equal the value of American
shipping destroyed by Germany.
4. Provide for the Immediate train
ing of 100000 men to be followed
within three months by a call for an.
other 100000.
8. Exempt from the provisions OF
the income tax law all incomes de-
rived from investments in bonds is
sued by the allies.
6. Send a few thousand regulars to
the European battle line with the
Belgians, for its psychological effect.
.. Have the big ships of the navy
take the offensive in the most ef-
fective. way possible by. joining the
fleets OF the allies in the scene of
naval activities.
$50 Submarine Chasing
s. Go submarine chasing in that
same zone from which the German
government has $50 insultingly' for
hidden the United States to enter.
without any formal alliance OF
any description, we are compelled
practically to cooperate and parti-
cipate with others who are the
enemies of our enemy said Senator
Williams. "We should realize the
situation frankly and act upon it.
There need be no treaty in words,
but there must be conventions and
agreements for our military and
naval cooperation pendento ballo."

FINANCING OF WAR
! CONFRONTS NATION
Problem of Paying for U. S.
Part Before President and
His Cabinet.

The problem of financing America S
part in the world war was directly be-
fore President Wilsor and his Cabinet
today.
1t is to be a "pay-as-we-go" war,
the Government has decided-a war
sustained 80 far as we may be
equitable" by the present generation
by we'll conceived taxation" the
President declared in his message.
1t is not the intention to shift the
burden to future generations.
1T would be most unwise," the
President said, "to base the credits
which will now be necessary entirely
on money borrowed. 1t is our duty
to protect our peoplc so far es we
may against the very serious hard
ships and evils which would likely
arise out of the imitation which woul1
be produced by vast loans"
All To Share Sacrifice.
All will be made to share in the
sacrifice necessitated by the war. but
IT is evident that the Administration
has in mind a plan of tapping heav-
lily the incomes of the rich.
For some time the Wer and Navy
Departments have been at work on
estimates which will be submitted. TO
Congress as soon as Congress acts
upon the war resolution.
Hundreds of millions of dollars will
be demanded at once for use in pre-
pairing the navy and financing the
military establishment.
1t is the purpose of the United
States to "raise as many men as
necessary to bring this war to an
end" according to one OF the Gov
ernment officials today. Before we
get through with 1t we'll have be-
tween 100000 and 100000 men
trained for service.
Estimates Vary Widely.
Estimates for raising such an army
in increments Of 100000 men, as sug-
gested by President Wilson in his ad-
dress, vary widely, as drawn by the
War College and Senator Chamber
lain, chairman of the Senate Military
Affairs Committee.
Senator Chamberlain has laiG plans
before President Wilson showing that
under universal training such as the
President recommended in his mes
sage increments of 500. 900 men could
be equipped and trained at an annual
expense of only S156.000,00 The
general staff estimate on the work,
however runs vastly over this amount.
Last years naval appropriation
amounted to nearly half billion dol
lars. and probably will exceed that
figure under the new estimates.

Drink Hot Water
For Indigestion
Common Sense Advice On Care of the
Stomach

If dyspeptics. sufferers from gas,
win or fatulence, stomach acidity or
sourness, gastric catarrh. heartburn,
etc. would take a teaspoonful of pure
'bisurated magnesia in half glass OF
hot water, many would soon forget
that they were ever afflicted with
stomach trouble. and doctors would
have to look elsewhere for patients.
Physicians tell us that most forms of
stomach trouble are due to stomach
acidity or fermentation of the food con-
tents combined with catarrh of the
stomach. A cup of hot water taken with
a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia
before meals will wash out mucus and
tend to prevent food fermentation of
the stomach. Taken an hour or two
after eating they instantly reduce the
excess acidity. In either condition,
therefore, the treatment is eminently
successful and decidedly preferable to
the use of artificial digestents, stimu-
lants or medicines used indiscriminate-
ly for indigestion.
stomach sufferers can obtain Bis
urated Magnesia from G.. A. Gorgas or
any good druggists in either powder
or tablets and for treatment as out
lined above the bisurated form should
be insisted on as 1T is. especially pre-
pared for correction of stomach acid
ity.-Adv.

ENGLISH HAVE NO
FEAR OF U-BOATS
Shipping Proceeds as Usual
Despite Activity of Under
sea Campaign

London, March 20.-A visit around
the harbors and docks o. London,
Liverpool and Manchester undertaken
with view to observing how the Ger
man submarine blockade has affected
them shows that business as usual
is the rule in the British ports.
There has been no apparent slacken-
ing of trade at any point and the slight
holding up of neutral shipping has not
vet had any reflection in the weekly
tonnage and trade reports of the port
authorities. In each of the three ports
visited the figures of arrivals and de-
partures make a favorable comparison
with the figures of three months or a
year ago, and in each of these ports
the stocks of foodstuffs and other mer-
chandise stand at better than a peace
time basis.
A few Dutch and Scandinavian ships
have been held in port under their
owners orders and some of these have
now been paying dock charges for
nearly a month Most neutral ships,
however, after a few days delay at
the outset of the submarine blockade
decided to lift their anchors and go
on with business. Dock charges are
heavy and profits in trade too large
to allow a ship owner to hesitate very
long, especially when insurance is
easily obtainable to cover any and all
risks. There is plenty of evidence on
the other hand that the British ad-
miralty is taking up the submarine
question with the greatest energy.
The arming of merchant ships goes
on under rush orders at every port
and few British ships are now leaving
without guns and gun crews. There
are other safeguards and projections
also that the admiralty can offer.
There is little that is permissible to
tell as to the measures for obvious
reasons, but some evidence of their
effectiveness is found in the confidence
of the sailors and the fact that none of
them show any inclination to avoid

KILLS CkTARRH GERMS
AntIseptIc Herbal Treatment That
Quickly Cures at TrIhing Cost

Catarrh is now known to be caused
by disease germs and it can be cured
only by an antiseptic treatment that
will kill the catarrh germs and soothe
and heal the irritated mucous mem
brane. Nothing else combines the
soothing and antiseptic powers in so
perfect a degree as antiseptic Wonder
oil. Apply little of this in the nasal
passages on going to bed and il cures
while you sleep. Then apply again in
the morning and its curative and heal
ing effect acts all day long.
A package of antiseptic Wonderoil
costs only a trifle and is sold by Geo.
A. Gorgas under guarantee of money
back if it fails to do all that is claimed
for it. This is a wonderful household
remedy and is good for all infiamma-
tion, soreness, aches and pains.-Adver-
