From the Congressional Direc-
tory published by the United
States Government-"Wm II. Ma
son, Senator from Illinois, was
elected to the 50th Congress in
1887, to the 51st Congress in 1891
defeated for the 52nd Congress
1S92-Elected Senator to the 55th
Congress 1897 to 1903"
Senator Mason is now Congress
man from the State of Illinois.
Senator Mason's championship
of Pure Food and Drugs legisla-
ton, his fight for the rural free
delivery system, and his strong
advocacy of all bills faVoring la
Dor and the rights of the masses
as against trusts and combines
make him national figure at
Washington and endeared him to
the hearts of the working man
and the great masses of people
throughout the United States. SEN
ator Mason has the distinction of
being one. of the really big men
of the nation. His strong endorse
ment of NuXated Iron must con-
vince any intelligent thinking
reader that it must be a prepara-
tion of very great merit and one
which the Senator feels Is bound
to be of great value to the masses
of people everywhere, otherwise he
could not afford to lend his name
to it especially after his strong
advocacy of pure food and drugs
legislation.

ENGLAND WANTS
SUBMARINE FACTS
Press Declares Success of
U-Boat Campaign Should
Be Made Known
BY Associated Press

London, May 1.-The definite ad-
mission of Sir Edward Carson. first
lord of the Admiralty, concerning
shipping losses has increased, if pos
sible, the anxious interest of the
press in the progress. of the subma-
rine war The subject is discussed
in all it's aspects in this morning S
newspapers. The Daily News and
the Daily Mail again call for more
publicity on the subject. The Daily
Press says it would be far wiser for
the government to take the country
into it's confidence, explain the actual
situation and then call upon the
people for any sacrifice that is deem
ed necessary. The Daily Mail in
making u like demand, declares that
anything else will destroy confidence
in the government itself.
The Times asserts that the efforts
of the ministry to emphasize the
gravity of the situation is largely
nullified by misleading official re-
turns and that the situation cannot
be fully faced by the nation unless
the necessities of the case are plain
ly understood
No Risk of Panic
Nobody, says the Times, believes
that there is a risk of panic from
knowledge of the truth. The real
danger, it adds, is lest the public
find that they have been unnecessar-
lily kept in the dark.
Members of the House of Com
mons eagerly discussed the situation
in the lobbies after Sir Edward Car
sons statement had been made. Ac-
cording to the Times, Premier Lloyd
George spent the whole of Monday
at the Admiralty, where he went at
the request of his colleagues in the
war cabinet and with the hearty
concurrence of Sir Edward Carson.
1t is understood that Mr.. Lloyd
George made a thorough stock TAX
ing of the situation by an examina-
ton of the antisubmarine organiza-
cials.

original demands, copies OF which
were printed in English and German.
The striking bakers demand that
they &c permitted to approve or dis
miss foremen in the shops, ask in
creased wages, shorter hours and inn
proved working conditions.
Many of the smaller dealers took
advantage of the situation to run the
price of bread up to as high as II
cents IL loaf. Yet in most parts OF
the city bread was obtainable at a
small, or no advance in price.
Dealers said, however, that the sup
ply would not last "a hours more.

New York, May Immensely

laration that Americans were want

the best place to train soldiers was
in the fighting zone. Colonel Roose-

The Colonel made this statement
late in the afternoon at the Hotel
Langdon, incorporating in it much
that he had said earlier in the day
on his arrival from Chicago. Mean
while he had conferred with many
who are associated with him in the
raising of a division for service in
affairs at luncheon with Count Ilya
Tolstoi. The Colonel and the count
agreed that the hope of Russia lay
in moderation on the part of the
democratic radicals. Otherwise, the
Colonel told his guest, there was
danger to the new republic of over
throw by a counter-revolution.
Gets Old-Time Greeting
The several hundred persons await
ing trains in the Pennsylvania sta
ton gave the Colonel an old-time
Roosevelt reception as he emerged
from the train shed with S. Stan
wood Menken, of the National Sc
curity League, and a small group
of friends.
At the offices of THE Metropolitan

Plan Great Naval
Celebration For
'DrydOck Opening

When the channel connecting the
open sea with Pearl Harbor was com
pleted in 1911, the United States gov
crnment and the governments Of the
Territory of Hawaii and of Honolulu
cooperated in celebration of that
event, the cruiser California officially
making the passage from the sea to the
anchorage opposite the present naval
station site. t}%G. aef
The promotion committee has taken
the unofficial announcement from Wash.
ington that the dry dock at Pearl Har,
Dor will be completed in June 1918, and
is seeking to have the completion of
the dry dock and the opening of the
Pearl Harbor Naval Station approx.
mately celebrated by the governments
of the United States, the Territory of
Hawaii and the city of Honolulu.
The promotion committee several
weeks ago wrote to Washington to as
certain whether the press announce.
ment that the dry dock would be com.
pleted about June 20, 1918, vas cor,

is substantiated, the committee antici-

1t is also the expectation that should
the navy department decide on mass
ing large number of warships here foI
this event, that the vessel which will
play the most prominent part in the
celebration will be named the "Ha
waii" -. IT is possible that steps will
be taken to call the attention of the
navy department TO the opportunity fol-
great naval demonstration and the
greater opportunity of having a vesse
named after Hawaii, in time to be sent
to the Islands to play its part in tho
ceremonies.
