PLOT TO SPREAD
TETANUS IN ARMY
CiNATION MATERIALS SOLD
TO THE GOVERNMENT.
Ten Cases Of Lockjaw Occur Among
Civilians, and Points Are Found to
Have Been Infected.-No Cases
Developed Among Soldiers

Westinghouse suspected nation
wide plot by German agents to create
an epidemic of tetanus in the national
army was uncovered here Sunday.
Vaccine points discovered with matter
containing tetanus germs were the in
struments of the alleged plot.
AS result the National Vaccine
company of this city, which had first
warning of the situation, attempted to
recall 100000 points which it had
shipped broadcast over the country
and at least 100000 of which had gone
to the war department for use in the
national army.
Thousands of these points had al
ready been used in the national army,
but so far no tetanus cases have been
reported.
OF the others, ten tetanus cases came
to the attention of the company which
Immediately recalled the points. Inves-
tigation has been begun by the depart
ment of justice.
AS a result of the tampering with
the points other companies have been
notified to inspect their points. Vac
cination has been suspended through
out the country pending such investi-
cation.
How the kaiser's agents were able
to develop their deadly plot is not yet
known. Neither is the identity of the
persons involved. OF the ten cases OF
tetanus reported among civilians, al
were widely scattered.
There were two in Memphis, two In
/ Cincinnati and others in Florida anC
Michigan.

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this psper.-Adv.

SEPARATE PARLlAMEnTS IS SUGGESTED
Realization in Great Britain That President Wilson
Has Been Hampered in His Dealings Because of Un-
settled Irish Affairs.

Ireland just as soon as the Irish can
agree among themselves sufficiently to
make 1t certain that the grant of self
government will not result In fighting,
between Ulster and the south, or even
Nationalists and Sim Feincrs, which
British troops withdrawn from the
front-Mould have to put down.
Liberals and Tories alike are deter
mined, however, that there must be
no coercion Of Ulster. The splendid
record made by Ulstermcn during the
wal and the somewhat bitter memo
rios left here by the Dublin revolt
have strengthened this feeling, and
the attempt made last summer to find
a settlement by compromise broke
down largely because the Redmond
tics, while willing to leave Ulster out
of home rule for a specified period
would not accept the principle that
Ulster must never be included in an
autonomous Ireland without her own
consent.
Sc much for English opinion which
has not radically changed since last
summer Ireland, still under martial
law, is naturally restless and discon-
tented, even tho the martial law is
a1minisi red with ;he utmost leniency
and consideration, as the Nationalsts
admit. The Nationalist party in par
lament has been forced into its pres
ent irreconcilable attitude by the
spread of a movement which threat
ems 10 submerge the Redmondites, an
agitation directed not towards an
armed revolt but towards the attain
mert of the aim of a self governing
Ireland thru other means than the
consent of the English parliament
Like the Dominions.
This Constitutional Sim Fein party,
as it is sometimes called, desires not
separation from the British empire,
but the status for Ireland of self
governing dominion tied to England
and Scotland by no stronger bonds
than are Canada and Australasia. The
home rule bill now on the statute
books is repudated by these enthusl-
asts.

response to President Wilson's request

LONDON, March 16.-When John
Redmond hurled at Lloyd George last
week the charge that England has
broken faith with Ireland, and led his
Nationalist followers from the house
of commons, following up his break
with the British government by ca
bling an appeal for support to Presi-
dent Wilson as well as to the domin-
ions, the eternal Irish question en-
tered upon new and more critical
phase | have since sounded all phases
of Irish and English political opinion
in order to place before American
readers an unbiased statement of the
home rule situation, which changes
move rapidly in a month of war than
in years of peace, and is rapidly be-
coming an imperial if not an interna
tionol issue of the first magnitude.
The withdrawal of the Irish party
into opposition to the government is
not due to any change in English
views or intentions regarding home
rule, but to conditions in Ireland
which forced Redmond to take up a
more belligerent attitude or risk the
utter rcpudiation of himself and his
party. British politicians, Liberal as
well as Tory, feel that the National
lists are unfair to try to saddle the
blame for the present crisis upon
Lloyd George. 1t is due primarily to
the Easter revolt and the events which
have followed the uprising.
English Are Willing.
EnSlishmen of all parties, with the
exception Of small knot of irrecon-
cilable Irish landlords in the house of

While Mr. Willett was on the stand
federal attorneys read to the jury the
text Of a so-called London agree
ment concerning which the witness
had testified. This document purported
to fix a price Of S. a ton for bunker
coal sold for consumption on British
ships.
Counsel for the defense insisted this
a agreement had been vouched for and
praised by the British courts. The at
torneys pleaded to have this phase Of
the case dismissed.
Judge Grubb ruled that the legality

used to prove intent by the defendants
