Tokio, April 23.-The result of the election shows a regrettable apathy as to constitutional development and an absence of a political awakening, according to the leading papers of Tokio.

 May Change Name:
 According to an article in the New York Sun of yesterday there may soon be no more Berlins in this or any other country. The article which ap- peared is as follows:
 ''If the war continues much longer there won't be a Berlin in the world except in Germany, where, most people arc agreed, it can stay. Berlin and New Berlin, N: J., are both talk ing of changing the names of the towns to something more American, and now Berlin, Conn, ten miles south of Hartford, wants the same thing done.
 Residents of the Connecticut town canvassed all their fellow citizens, and all wanted the name changed except one man. wko had just bought a lot of new stationery with the name printed on it. The citizens of the town called a mass meeting, and a petition was unanimously adopted asking the legislature to change the name of the place. The town was originally called Worthington, and most of the residents favor resuming that name, although some wish to honor Governor Holcomb."

 James MacPhearson. who on April 13 ran down and killed Victoria Tar diff under the Kensington highway bridge, was this imorning bound over to the June term of the superior court by Judge George G. Griswold. His bond was continued at $2,5O0 by the judge. After a lengthy and spirited which was marked~by fre- ouent clashes between Prosecutor W. Fl. sGibney and Judge J. K. Kirkham. who appeared for MacPhearson, Judge Griswold found probable cause and bound him over. A new com plaint substituting manslaughter ra- ther than reckless driving was intro 1uced into the court and after a short argument was allowed to stand.
 Medical Examiner pr. R. M. Gris- wold was the first witness called and he told how the little girl was brought into his office on April 13 shortly aft CT 12 o'clock and that within three minutes she died of fracture at the base of the skull and broken neck.

He aated that as- far as he knew there was nothing that the driver could have done to avoid hitting the child. as a right turn would. have brought the machine closer than the one to the left turn.
 John Lugli. a helper on the truck of Mir. Neri. told the court that the cf,ild dashed across. the tracks at an angle and that the auto hit her as she was making the walk. He stated that he had not seen the machine as his eyes were on the girl trying to make the crossing.

Honest Man.

Aunis Burke of the Claypool hotel
believes that Diogenes did not need a
lantern to find the proverblal honest
man. Burke discovered that individ-
ual when he received letter from a
man in Louisville, who, several days
before, had been a guest at the Clay
pool.
In his letter the man explained that
when he left the hotel he had procured
what he thought was pair of his over
shoes from his checkroom. He did not
notice that they were not his until he
got to Louisville. He then discovered,
he said, that the shoes he had obtained
were not his, but were a brand-new
pair, and worth at least 80 cents more
than his had been.
The guest said that he desired to do
the square thing with the man who
had taken his overshoes, and offered to
send the shoes back on receipt of the
necessary postage. Burke said he
supposed the other man had never no.

NEUTRALSUSUALL IN LEAGUE
When Commercial Interests Of Nations
Are Menaced It Is Their Right
to Combine for Mutual
Protection.

Washington, d. C.-Armed neutrali-
ty is described by authorities on inter-
national law as military measures for
the purpose of defending rights of
neutrals on the part of n belligerent.
1t has generally concerned more than
one power and the most striking his
torical instances of armed neutralities
were those of the northern European
powers In 1870 and 1900, made to de-
fend the principle of free ships and
free goods. adopted by treaty between
the Baltic powers and opposed by
England.
"If the commercial interests of sew
eral nations" says one authority,
ARE threatened by unjust or unlawful
measures on the part of belligerent,
which they deem unjust or dangerous.
there can be no question of their right
to secure their menaced interests by
such combinations as seem best cal
culated to accomplish that purpose.
An armed neutrality is in fact an al
lance of several powers, usually of a
defensive character, though this Is by
no means essential"
During the present war Holland and
Switzerland have maintained what
amounts to an armed neutrality, al
though 1t has been confined to land.
Adopted in Revolutionary Times.
Armed neutrality was adopted by
several European states soon after
ITS. when, in connection with the
American Revolutionary war. war
broke out between France and Spain
and France and Great Britain. Neu-
trails became alarmed over the dan
gers with which their maritime rights
We're threatened and the empress of
Russia undertook to unite them in de-
fense of their neutral rights. This
formed the basis of treaties between
Russia. Denmark. Sweden, Holland,
Austria and Portugal. They formed a
league which. under the name of
armed neutrality, undertook to pre-
serve inviolate the maritime rights
of neutrals. These declarations were
recognized by the treaty of peace be-
tween Great Britain and France and
were the established law of nations
when tie United States in 1888 was
recognized as independent by the pow
ers of the world.
The last time the United States
was in state Of armed neutrality was
in the war between France and Eng
land and that ended with the downfall
of Napoleon.
After many acts against American
commerce bound for England. France.
on January IS. 179S. decreed that ev-
cry vessel found at sea loaded with
merchandise produced In England or
her possessions could be made prize.
Many American vessels were SEIZED
and in June. 179s, President Adams
began to obtain from congress broad
authority to protect American COM

in better position to make war II 1t

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
tiOn, Overc0mes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.

PERSIA is RICH IN OIL FIELDS
That's Why Three of the Big BeIIig-
erent Nations Are After It
Fields Only Scratched.

A three-cornered rush for Persia has
great war. The Germans, by hurry
ing their Bagdad line, sought to reach
the hapless Asian kingdom. Russia,
which once had maintained a virtual
protectorate over Persia, made hard
drive against the Turks in an effort to
keep Persia from being overrun. The
British got in the rush and launched
their Mesopotamian expedition. Per-
sia had suddenly become exceedingly
valuable. Why?
The report of the Anglo-Persian OH
company Utd.) in London few days
ago seems to contain the explanation.
G. Greenway. chairman and managing
director of the company, stated that
the company's accrued dividends
amounted to considerably more than
100000. Ten-inch pipe lines had been
completed that permitted the ship
ment of 360,000,000 gallons of oil n.
year, and additional pumping stations
are planned that will raise this to
100000 tons. But the really signifi-
cant statement was that the fields had
merely been scratched and that they
gave promise of furnishing enough oil
to fill a large portion, If not the
whole, of Great Britain's enormous de-
mand for petroleum products.
Mr.. Greenway stated that it had be-
come matter of the highest impe-
rial Importance" to safeguard the de-
velopment of the fields.
