JELLICOE SAYS
U.BOAT PERIL
+. MORE SERIOUS

. LONDON, England.-'"The submar.
inc menace to the merchant service is
far greater now than at any period
of the war, and It requires all OF our
energy to combat it," said Admiral
Sir John r. Jellicoe, first sea lord, in
a speech at a luncheon given in his
honor in London.
Admiral Jellicoe said the menace
must and would be dealt with. OF that
he was confident, but the British
would have to make good their iney-
liable losses, and in order to do so
we're dependent upon the shipbuilding
industry of the country, to which he
appealed to put forth its best efforts
continuously and ungrudgingly to
maintain the strength Of the mercan-
tile marine.
Referring to Germany's boasts con-
corning occasions when the German
fleet searched the North Sea for the
British, Admiral Jellicoe said:
Our enemies only on one occasion
have ventured sufficiently far with
their main fleet to give US an oppor-
tunity of engaging them. No vessels,
neutrals or British, have sighted the
German fleet far from its ports on any
other occasion"
After expatiating on the extraordin-
airy difficulties with which the navy
had to contend, owing to mines, sub
marines, torpedo craft and other NEIL
aces, Admiral Jellidoe said:
The approximate number of vessels
of all classes comprising the British
navy today is nearly 1000. 1t includes
battleships, battle cruisers, light cruis-
ers, destroyers, submarines, mine
sweepers,, patrols and many other mis-
cellaneous craft, all of which are ne
cessary for the effective conduct OF
the war of today.
Our activities range from the
White Sea, where we are doing our
best to assist our gallant Russian ally,
past the North and South Atlantic,
where cruiser squadrons are at work,
on to the far Pacific, where we are
cooperating with our Japanese ally.
In fact, there is no part of the world
where the navy has not duties and re-
sponsibilities IN connection with this
war"
Referring to the work of the cruiser
squadron in home waters, Admiral
Jellicoe said it was mainly engaged in
preventing supplies from reaching the
Teutonic allies.

PEARY URGES HUGE AIR
FLEETS FOR UNITED STATES

Associated Press by Federal wirelessl
NEW. YORK, n. Y, Feb. I3.-Rear-
Admiral Peary, discoyerer of the
North Pole, in an address before the
Society of Pan-American Aeronautics
last night, declared that what this
country should do Immediately is to
vastly increase her air fleets.
1--WE want an immediate develop
ment of the coastal air patrol around
this nation-a sort of air burglar
alarm" said the explorer. The ma
ton faces immediate danger and there
is no time for additions to the army
and the navy sufficient to cope with
that danger
Zone thousand hydroaeroplanes

navy we now have and increase the
protection of our coasts at least 800

QUIT MEAT WHEN

Take a Glass of Salts Before
Breakfast if Your Back
Hurts or Bladder is
Troubling You

No man OF. woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a wellknown authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the kid
neys, they become overworked from
the strain, get sluggish and fail to
filter the waste and poisons from the
blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness
and urinary disorders come from elug
gish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
In the kidneys or your back hurts or
If the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
Of sediment, irregular of passage OF
attended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy: take tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts Is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutraliZe the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which
everyone should take now and then

DEPLETED RANKS
are SOON FILLED
Three Companies Of Soldiers Sta.
toned Here Are Again at
War Strength.

Mobilization orders, which went
into effect Sunday. brought ad-
ditional soldiers to this city.
In local official circles Captain
Verne f. Hale of Fort Dodge is a
new figure. Captain Hale is in
charge of Headquarters company, a
regimental organization composed of
a number of non-commissioned Off
GERS, the Regimental band and a
troop of sixteen mounted orderlies.
He will have headquarters in the
armory.
Lieut.. Fred II. Winslow arrived
home from the officers training
camp at Fort Smelling yesterday and
is already on duty at the armory.
Lieut.. Winslow was first detailed
for service with the guards at Shell
don, where Company L, Second Iowa
infantry, is stationed. However, he
has since received a second lieuten-
ants commission and the notice of
his transfer to the mounted orderly
section of Headquarters company. He
will be in charge of this division of
the company.
Efficiency is the key note of the
training received at Fort Smelling,
and after two months of the rigor-
Gus drilling and sharp discipline of
the camp, Lieut.. Winslow is we'll
qualified to bring his command to
the proper standard.
Col. N. P. Hyatt. with one or two
other high officers and several of
non-commissioned rank, who Off
cially have not been on duty here
tofore, are now in~uniform. Webster
City people may we'll take pride in
the number of officers of high rank
among her citizens. The number of
her officers, as well as the several
military organizations here, are an
unusual showing for a town of this
size.
The physical examination and the
first incubation with the typhoid
serum of Company c was concluded
yesterday before noon, and the med
ical examining officers-Maj. John
Russell and First Lieut.. VIM. l..

For Southern Training Camp in New
!, Mexico-Exact Date to Be
E!5s14 Settled Soon. Il. :"

The families and friends of the
militiamen now mobilized in the
Webster City barracks, as we'll as
the soldiers themselves, are anxious
~ awaiting news of the date when
they will be called upon to entrain
for the southern concentration camp.
Col. N. P. Hyatt, commander of the
Second Iowa infantry, including the
local divisions, when appealed to for
his opinion as to the time of depar-
ture of the troops, gave some very
clear and concise information on
the subject.
The order received last week for
the mobilization of the Iowa guard
on July Is was made public in the
early part of June. It is in effect
now as it has been since the date
1t was Issued. Reports of changes
made or to be made have beclouded
the public mind, but the order has
remained unchanged. Col. Hyatt re-
kceived an order today directing that
the troops here leave within two
weeks for the southern training
camp. The exact date will be de-
cided soon. Omaha, rather than
Des Moines, will be the logical divi-
sion point. Deming. N. M, is the
camp site chosen for the Iowa, Min
nesota, Nebraska. North and South
Dakota contingents. All orders, it
must be remembered, are subject to
change by the person who issues
them. Newly arising circumstances
necessitate occasional changes, but
neither the war department nor the
local military officials are desirous
Of keeping secret news Of a military
nature that does not affect the well
fare of the nation or the safety of
the troops themselves.
Transportation facilities will be
assembled here for the removal of
the local companies. A train OF
nineteen cars will be needed for the
troops in this city alone. 1t will
be made up of coaches. baggage cars
and flat cars. The latter will be
used for the transportation of the
wagons of Supply company and will
number nine altogether.
1t is not likely that the Iowa bl1-
gade will be assembled until the
concentration camp is reached,

THE RED CROSS TO
take UP MORE WORK
Will Undertake to Relieve Suffering
and Starving Among the
I: People Of Europe.

The Freeman Tribune is in. receipt
Of the following self-explanatory let
ter from Rev. Frederick Lynch
treasurer OF the Christian Work Red
Cross fund, under New York date OF
the 7th inst:
Freeman-Tribune, Webster City,
Iowa: The relief of the suffering
and starving of Europe is about to
be taken over by the American Red
Cross. The Red Cross will also have
the care of the thousands of Ameri-
can soldiers about to so to the front
In France, and will also help to care
for French and Russian wounded.
We are cooperating with the So
ciety In, raising the vast sums they
need Immediately. Read Mr.. Davi-
sons enclosed letter to us. The
amount already raised is just a be-
ginning of what is needed.
The American Red Cross has un-
dertaken to raise several, hundred
million dollars for the suffering and
starving peoples OF Europe, and for
the care of our own soldiers who are
being sent to France-perhaps half
million in number.
The needs are something beyond
words. France has half million
cases of tuberculosis. Fifteen hun
ldred towns and villages have been
destroyed. Thousands are homeless
and must be cared for. There are
hundreds of thousands of orphans.
For the care OF all these, millions of
dollars are needed at once.
I'm Poland the conditions are be-
yond description. The children are
dying thousands day. The country
is swarming with homeless people,
wandering about seeking food and
shelter and finding neither. Thou
sands more are in refugee camps. Mr..

Wolcott was sent abroad by the Rock
Iefeller Foundation. Read what he
saw in the cities:
Coming back to the cities where
1.-THE destruction was not 30 awful,
I'VE saw little people and grown peo-
pie. mothers and children, sitting
on the sidewalks, leaning against
buildings, sometimes covered with
SNOW or rain-soaked, too weak to
lift their hands to take the money
|or the bread that we might offer
them. All the wealthy people of
Poland were giving everything they
|owned to save their nation"
Russia is clamoring for assistance
|of America. Behind the lines in
Russia are millions of starving ref
ugees from Poland, Lithuania and
western Russia. They are wander
ing about without food, clothing or
shelter, huddled in barns, cellars
and outhouses and dying from dis
ease and hunger. Russia needs our
nurses, and great quantities of med
icine and supplies. She needs our
physicians in great numbers.
OF Serbia. Mr.. Wolcott says:
"What is true in Poland is true in
Serbia and Roumania. In Serbia ap-
proximately three-quarters of mil
lion people have died miserably. A
German captain who had been there
three months in that campaign
through Serbia told me that he saw
the Bulgarian soldiers killing inno-
cent men and children along the road
with their bayonets, and that 1t got
too much for even him, and he could
not stand it and came back. He said
they had typhus in every city he Wis.,
tied in Poland"
OF Roumania Mr.. Wolcott says:
I'm Roumania practically 100000
people have been murdered in cold
blood by the Turks. All the armed
forces in that country are officered
by Germans. SO they are in sense
guilty OF that. too; they are parties
to it, Sils
