NORWAY ALLEGES GERMANS LOOPING
 CAP1URSD BOATS
Proceedings in Official En- quiry Show How Regular
 Naval Officers Act.
Correspondence Associated Press

Correspondence Associated Press)
 Christiana, Norway, April 30.-The proceedings before naval court re- garding the sinking of the Norwegian steamer Storaas have again shown an interesting example of how some Ger man regular naval officers behave when sinking and footing neutral ships. The sworn deposition of the ships captain, Guide Due, before the court says:
 "The Storaas, ballasted, sailed from Moss, Norway, bound for the United States to touch at Tyne, England, for coal. Midway between Norway and England in the North sea, March IA, a u-boat was observed astern. While these got lowered, the u-boat fired twice. The captain rowed over to the u-boat and was ordered to take one German officer and three marines to the Storaas. The Germans placed bombs in the engine room and tunnel, took the launch, filled it with provis- ions. butter, sugar, coffee, canned goods, soap, etc. After that they help ed themselves to the crews personal belongings.
 "The German officer now on board the Storaas, lieutenant twenty years old, was second in command of the u-boat. He went downstairs into the captains cabin. Captain Guide Due went after him and found him pocket ing scarf pin, a silver cigarette case and two meerschaum pipes belonging to the captain. Captain Guide Due took these articles back from him, caught him by the collar and led him out of the cabin, saying he would rather see these things go to the bot tom of the ocean than to the Ger mans.
 "The German officer then ordered the captain down into the boat and after while, came out with load consisting of the captains belongings, clothes, pillows, table cloths, napkins, nautical instruments, charts, chrono- meter, compass, stationery, picture frames and pictures, books and two Norwegian silk flags. To the captain he said:
 ".Look here, you could just as we'll have given it to me, now take it any way
 "While their leading officer was footing the captains cabin the three IIId1 WCIC WO4h1AS 1IhCWloC III CilS other cabins-one who likely was al petty officer footed the cabins of the Storaas officers, while the marines rifled the forecastle."
 The German officer had promised Captain Guide Due to tow the life boats nearer land but when Storaas was sunk the boat signalled to steer west while it, at full speed, steered in the opposite direction.
 After having suffered great hard ships for three days and nearly given up hope of being saved, both boats reached the Norwegian coast; and all were saved. The Norwegian press re- ports the affair under such headlines as:."Germans stole on board Storaas," "U-boat officer broke into captains cabin and rifled his personnel belong ings," and German freedom of the seas."

Draft Bill Still Unsettled.

Washington, May 9.-Another day of conferences on the war army bill found senate and house committees still far apart on many differences 'n the bill as it passed. Another effort, probably final, will be made to get together. tomorrow.
 There was evidence tonight that the senate conferees are about ready to report deadlock and ask for fur ther instructions. They are insist ing on the senate provision for pro hibition at army posts and to permit Col. Roosevelt to raise division.
 The differences in the age limit, 21 to 27 in the senate and 21 to 40 in the house bill, also still are disputed, but probably could be adjusted if the other issues were out of the way. Senators feel that unless administra- tion exerts strong pressure, the sem ate will insist on the Roosevelt amendment.

SALTS FINE FOR
 ACHING KIDNEYS
We Eat Too Much Meat Which Clogs Kidneys, Then the Back
 Hurts.

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clog ged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe head aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kid neys active and clean, and the mo- ment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, con- bined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu- tralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean, thus avoiding serious com plications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble-Adv.
