MAY RUSH SHIPS
TO ASIA MINOR
Believed United States War
Vessels Should Go
at Once
NOW WAIT
GUARANTEES
The Plight of Missionaries in
Turkey Said to Be
Deplorable

| Washington, March 20.-Having prac
| tically abandoned all hope of getting
safe conducts for the vessels, administra
ton officials are considering the advis
ability OF directing the commanders Of
the cruiser Des Moines and the collier
Caesar to proceed nevertheless TO Beirut
Asia Minor, for the purpose of rescuing
the American missionaries held up in de
tention camps at this port.
For almost two months the American
government has been trying vainly to
obtain through the Turkish government
written guarantees from Germany and
Austria that the two American war yes
sells which have been waiting at Alexan-
dria, Egypt, might proceed on their mis-
sion of mercy without danger OF attack,
In all this time not a single response has
come from the governments to which the
request was addressed.
In the meantime the state department
has every reason to believe that the
plight of the missionaries has become
extremely desperate, and that fear OF
massacre has been added to the danger of
starvation facing the refugees.
For this reason there are several Off
Gals of the department who believe that
the government should take the bull by
the horns" and send the Des Moines and
Cesar into Beirut, whether or no.
From official records of the correspond
ence which has been exchanged on the
subject it is possible to present herewith
more detailed description of the nego-
tiations than has heretofore been pub
lished.
Shortly before diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
were severed, permission was obtained
by the American government, not only
from Turkey, but from the entente gov
whereby the United States
might send one or two ships laden with
foodstuf1s to Beirut. whence, under the
of the Red Cross and repre-
of the American embassy re
Constantinople, they might be distribut
ed to the American missionaries and
through them to the thousands of starv-
ing Syrians under their care.
Every assurance was given Ambassa
dor Elkus at Constantiuople that the
Turkish government wouldslend its as
5istanee in every way possible to the
of the food, and under these
auspices the Caesar, with a cargo of food
,tuffs contributed by philanthropic Amer
cans, started from Philadelphia.
En- route. under directions of the Amer
can government. the Caesar stopped at a
Spanish port and took on board a rep
.esentative of the American embassy at |
lonstantinople, who was to turn over
he foOdstuffs to the distributing agents |
lpon the arrival of the Caesar at Beirut |
At Alexandria, Egypt, the Caesar was
oined by the Des Moines The two yes
els have been there ever since.
Meanwhile, under supplementary nego-
iatibns undertaken by the Washington
the Turkish government,
With some reluctance, had agreed that
II the American missionaries in Syria
hould be allowed to return to the United
tates on the Caesar and Des Moines.

ionaries

Killed by Poisons

All scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys. The kidneys act as kind
of filter for these products. When the
kidneys are changed or degenerated, by
disease or old age, then these poisons are
retained in the body. If we wish to pre-
vent old age coming on too soon, or if we
want to increase our chances for long
life, DR.. Pierce Of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, says that you should drink
plenty Of water daily between meals and
with your meals to flush the kidneys. Then
procure at your nearest drug store Anuric.
This Anuric drives the uric acid out.
Ii we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition diet OF milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once a day,
is the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure
water, take Anuric three times day for a
month. Anuric is many times more potent
than hthia and dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

vermonters Should Make Sugar.

The first Vermont maple sugar of
proved reliability has come to town. and
there ought to be much more of it and of
maple syrup than ever before. Census
returns place the number of maple trees
in that state at 9932,376, and only a
little more than half of them have been
tapped in normal times. The time has
now come when people of the back coun-
try can come into their own if they will
only make the best of their openings.
The income it is possible to achieve from
maple trees should be worth while in
these days of exceptionally high prices.
and this observation applies to maple
trees throughout New England. The
boys and girls who have been taught of
late to make use of opportunities which
the farm offers may be trusted not to
overlook this one. When we are told
that the worlds sugar supply is reaching
a war basis it will pay to revive the old
New England practice of getting sugar
near at home.-Springfeld Mass Re.
