KAISER MAY APPEASE SPAIN.
Berlin Hints at Settlement of U-Boat
Dispute by Negotiation.

London, April 27.-Reuter's Amster-
dam correspondent says that the Berlin
papers print what has been published as
the final sentence of the Spanish note to
Germany, as German semi-officisl state
ment appended to the note. 1t therefore
reads:
The imperial German government,
fully approaching the difficult situation
of Spain, will enter into discussion
with the Spanish government regarding
measures which may be taken within the
limits of military necessities for the
mitigation of the difficulties which have
arisen in Spain"
The text of SPANS note to Germany,
as given in a Berlin dispatch, while con
veying a grave warning that the end of
Spanish patience is in sight, also con-
tains a suggestion that crisis may be
averted through negotiation. This por-
ton of the note reads:
THE Spanish government hopes that
the imperial government, fully apprecist-
ing the difficult economic situation in
Spain, win enter into a discussion with
the Spanish government regarding meas
ures which may be taken, within the
limits of military necessities, for the
of the difficulties which have
arisen in Spain"

.U-BOAT PERIL
NOT OVERCOME
Submarines May Become an
Important Factor in Out
come Of the War
ENGLISH FEELING
EFFECT OF BLOW
Sir Albert Stanley Told Lon
don Business Men
in Address

London, April GA grave warning
that the submarine menace may be an
important factor in deciding the outcome
of the war was sounded yesterday by
Sir Albert Stanley, president of the Brit
ish Board of Trade. Addressing lunch
con of business men, Sir Albert said:
1--WE have not yet found a way of
dealing with the submarine as to remove
the danger of their being an enormously
important factor in determining the out
come of the war. The effect of the sub
marine war upon the existence of the
British empire vs. simply this--that we
cannot continue to bring into this coun-
try all the supplies and materials re-
quired for our existence, for the continu-
ance of the war and for the actual needs
of our industries.
HThe entry of the United States into
the war will have a far-reaching effect
on the ultimate result. The United
States will be quick to realize the Sc
rious position of shipping as the result
of the submarine war. She will turn out
ships so rapidly that for every vessel
sunk by the Germans another will be
doated upon the seas.
"Our courage and perseverance will be
tested to the utmost before success comes
and have no doubt we will overcome all
obstacles"

"And do not forget that to deal this
blow at once may save countless Amer
lean lives.
"0n the other hand, to hesitate, TO
discuss, to dispute, or to reject universal
service and adopt the volunteer system
is to give aid and comfort to the enc

keep the peace, but peace or anything
else in this world is worth nothing ii

we had remained out OF the war we

BRITISH WELCOME
RUSSIA'S DECISION
TO FREE POLES
Thanks Due to New Regime for Giving
Unity to Poland-Irish Mem
bers Approve.

London, April Gin the House of
commons yesterday Chancellor Bonar
Law welcomed the declaration OF the
provisional government OF Russia rec
ognizing the rights of the Poles TO de-
eide their own affairs.
Thanks TO the liberal and states
manlike action Of the provisional govern
ment," he said, POLAND will appear
again in international life and take her
share with the other nations In working
together for the common good of civil
ization. Our efforts in the war viii be
directed toward helping Poland to real
ize her unity on lines described in the
Russian proclamation under conditions
which make her strong and independ-
emit"
The ehancellor's speech was applaud
ed frequently by the Irish members.
After, Mr.. Bonar Law had concluded his
remarks, John Dillon, Nationalist, asked
whether the Russian government in is
suing its proclamation and the British
government in giving assent had given
to dealing with any veto
of the independence of Poland by the
large number of Germans resident there.
81 do not know of any such condi-
ton" said the chancellor, "but there is
no part of Poland in which CON
ditions are the same as in the district
Of Ireland TO which the member re-
fers."

IRELAND'S HOPES
SOMEWHAT RAISED
BY Announcement That Premier Lloyd
George Had Postponed His State
ment for a Few DAYS.

London, April 27.-Announcement yes
terday that Premier Lloyd George had
postponed for few days his statement
on Irish home rule, promised this week,
aroused hopes of complete settlement of
the question. 1t was believed that Lloyd
George was making final effort to rec
oncile the various Irish elements as a re-
suit of urgent representations from For
eign Secretary Balfour, now in Washing
ton.
Balfour was reported to have indicat-
ed to Lloyd George that the American
government and the American people ia
vored home rule and that solidarity be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain would be greatly enhanced by recog-
milton of this sentiment here.
The London public was impressed by
great display in the Northcliffe news
papers representing canvass of Amer
lean sentiment by its American CORE
spodent, and including quotations from
Roosevelt, Taft and prominent Amer
leans favoring home rule.

war with European power would affect
them. do not believe this. The people of
the middle west are too intelligent to
believe that, if German submarines ruled
the seas, their prosperity would not be
touched, that if German army landed
in Mexico and armed and led force TO
the north that the middle west would
get of scot free. An army which meets
no opposition can go far and tribute
levied on blockaded country must be
paid by all.
Knowing the mind and might of Ger
many as l have for the past two and a
half years, appeal to the entire coun-
try. not only as a patriotic duty but as
an absolutely necessary measure of self
preservation, to stand by the president
and urge the passage of the administra-
tion bill for universal obligatory mill
tary service"

of Speaker Champ Clark, his speech oil
Wednesday has not served to stop the
draft toward CONSUMPTION.
One of the possibilities is that pro-
vision will be made whereby Colonel
Roosevelt can marshal division or
more of troops for early service in the
war. Friends of the colonel have looked
over the ground and find strong senti-
ment among both Republicans and Dem
ocrats in favor of such authorization.
At bottom this sentiment rests on a
pronounced feeling in Congress that this
country ought not to wait indefinitely
before throwing troops into France.
Moreover, ii would be concession to
the volunteer sentiment which would
cause good feeling, to authorize one or
several divisions of volunteers such as
Colonel Roosevelt purposes.
Passage of the CONSUMPTION bill, it
is believed here, will make great diff
ference in recruiting for the regular
army and National Guard. The natural
effect of such measure will be to cause
many young men who expect to be
drafted if they do not enlist to enlist
with forces in which they can volunteer.
Out of the coming international con-
ferences here, it is predicted on high
authority, will come decision to begin
sending American troops abroad by or
about July /. Not only does the French
commission want troops sent, for the
moral effect and for other reasons, but
the British commission would welcome
such a step.
Army authorities are figuring on send
ing an American expedition of regulars
and guardsmen in two or three months.

House Kisses from the galleries greeted
Representative Mason, Republican, OF
Illinois, when he assailed President Will
son for failing to accept Immediately

vision for service in France. A few

SPEAKER CLARK'S
APPEAL FRUITLESS
The Universal Service Meas
ure Is Practically Sure
to Pass

Washington, D. c., April 27.-The
Senate yesterday reached an agreement
under which it will vote ON the conscrip-
ton bill Saturday night. 1t will begin
voting on amendments at o'clock Sat
urday, and if necessary, will hold an
all-night session Friday in order to put
through the bill.
The agreement, made by unanimous
consent, promises final vote not later
than midnight Saturday, and possibly
earlier. 1t also provides that no other
business shall be considered in the mean
time. Another provision of the agree
mear provides that at | o'clock Satur-
day debate shall be limited to five min
utes on amendments and ten minutes on
the bill itself to each senator,
The Senate agreed informally how
ever, that by unanimous consent, if no
member desires to proceed with the
army bill. other business may be
brought up without objection. Senator
Overman obtained this "gentlemen's nm
derstanding" in order that both houses
may dispose of the administration bill
permitting the entente to recruit their
citizens in this country, which Attorney
General Gregory yesterday asked Mr..
Overman to expedite.
In the House it was agreed that gen
eral debate should close with adjourn
ment Yesterday, leaving only the sum-
ming up speeches by leaders of each
side. To-day Chairman Dent of the
military committee will close the argu-
ment for the committees volunteer

ranking Republican of the committee,

tive CONSUMPTION plan.
Then the bill will be considered by
the House under the five-minute rule,
with vote probable on Friday night or
Saturday
CONSUMPTION men feel more convinced
than ever that the bill will pass, since

What Is the Cause of Rheu-
matism, LumbagO
and GOut?
tBy valentino Mott Pierce. M D.l

Ever since Scheele, in l775, discovered
that uric acid was present in the system,
scientific men have been making expert
mental investigations and il is the al
most universal opinion of our best med
ical men that the presence of uric acid
in the system in excess is the cause of
rheumatism and govt. When the ufste
salts are precipitated out of the blood
into the solid tissue structure the person
suffers from govt and rheumatism in the
muscles and joints. or suffers from lum-
bsgo and pain in the back muscles. The
first aim of the sufferer should be to get
rid of the uric acid, which. in excess, is
poison. and TO do this IL is well to
drink about pint of hot water morning
and night-get tablets Of Anuric double
strength) at the nearest drug store and
take them before meals regularly. Anur-
ic will do no harm TO the system and
win carry of the uric acid by stimulating
the kidneys. Then tincture iodine may
be painted over the swellings, or in more
severe cases hot linseed poultioes may
be applied to sOothe the local symptoms.
But most important Is II for the sufferer
to abstain from meat. 70 diet, drink only
lemonade or hot water, and take Anurio
for . considerable time as il causes a
drainage outward Of the uric scid and Is
many times more potent than lithis and
usually one finds that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water dces suesr-Adv.
