BERLIN SHOWS ANXIETY

Special Gable Despdfch to TIE suS.
= LONDON, May T.-That a serious
crisis mas arisen in the relations of Ger
many and Austria Hungary is gathered
from information from neutral sources.
especially from Holland. The Dutch
newspapers assert that Count Tisza. who
has just resigned as Hungarian Premier.
was the mainstay Of Germany's grip on
Austria. and while admitting that hold
is still powerful they insist Germany
would have kept him in power had she
been able.
A despatch received tonight from
Amsterdam said the Budapest Pester
Hirlip announces that Baron Burtan. the
Minister OF Finance
also intends to resign.
Burian was considered one OF the
strongest men in the dual empires ad-
ministration and Count Tisza was re-
garded on the whole continent as the
mere tool OF the Prussian ruling clique
Although IL is announced he resigned
because he opposed franchise reform
the neutral understanding is that he
quit because Emperor Charles did not
oppose the widespread demand in Austria
for separate peace.
Germany Is deeply concerned, as is
shown by the fact that Home Secretary
Helfferich. Foreign Minister thinner
mann and others are going to Vienna for
a conference.
The announcement that the visit OF
Count Cxernin. the Austrian Premier. 10
German headquarters Is for the purpose
OF discussing Polish reconstruction
causes derision. 1t is the universal be-
Nef that the crisis between Germany and
Austria will be considered between
Cxernin and the Kaiser.
Count Won Reventlow says in the
Ta0essehuHO: From information re-
ceived from we'll Informed source 1t Is
more likely that Count Cxernin is going
to headquarters in an endeavor to press
his peace scheme From the same
source I have learned that Count
Cxernin demanded immediate peace or
the Scheidemann Socialist terms Of nc
annexation. no indemnities' Germans
must protest against the efforts of the
Austro- Hungarian Minister to apply to
Germany his programme, which involves
endless renunciations."

GERMANS EXECUTE
2 WOMEN AS SPIES

GENEVA, via Paris, May 27.-
"La Suisse" to-day prints de-
tails of case similar to that Of
Miss Edith Cavell, the English
nurse who was executed by the
Germans in Brussels in October,
1915. The Germans, says the
newspaper, recently arrested two
women, Nine. Pfeister and her
daughter, 22 years old. on the
Swiss-Alsatian frontier. They
were charged with acting as
spies.
The women promptly admitted
at the trial that they had snug
gled letters, without knowing
their contents, from Alsatian
families to relatives in Switzer-
land. This was done simply as a
friendly act and without political
or malicious purpose.
Both women, says LA Suisse"
were shot at Muelhausen. The
mother was witness Of the exc
cution of her daughter before her
turn came.
The newspaper adds that it has
received confirmation Of the exc
cution of the women from their
relatives.

LONDON. May 27--A wave OF indigna-

ARRAS STILL ON.
British and Germans Locked
in Desperate Battle.
ENGLISH GAINING SLOWLY

Hurting Of Tens Of Thousands Of Teu.
ton Reserves Into the Breach Fails
> to Prevent General Haio From Fore
ing His Foe Back.
London, May 1.-The battle of Arras
still RACES, with the issue in doubt.
For sixsdays torrents of blood have
flown and the armies of Britain and
Germany yet struggle for the mastery
In conflict which battles superlatives.
Tens Of thousands Of reserves have
been hurled against the British battle
front by Field Marshal Won linden
burg in a supreme effort to check the
British advance, but so far without
avail. Almost literally, foot by foot,
General Haig is forcing his stubborn
foe back.
Both sides are fighting with reso-
luton as grim and savage as any the
war has shown and it seems to be q
question as to which can sustain its
CHASTITY sacrifices the longer.
With the capture of German posi-
tons around Oppy the British forces
have now reached broken, irregular
ground, where the natural advantages
Of position are with the enemy.
Every dispatch from the front like
wise meantions the extraordinary
number of fresh troops which the Ger
mans are interposing and the violence
of their counter attacks.
The slopes and ridges of the Scarpe
valley offer unexcelled hiding places
for German machine gun crews and
the German positions along the DOM
mating heights are strategically stu
ated for pouring fire down on the ad-
vancing British. But despite these
disadvantages Field Marshal Haig's
troops are still thrusting forward,
particularly out of Arleux and Oppy.
AS an indication that the British
offensive is not taking all the strength
of the British army in the Arras to st.
Quentin front Field Marshal Haig
staged a. strong raid north of Ypres.
AT night, north of Ypres, sue
cessful raid was carried out" the
British commander-in-chiefr reported.
Ypres is nearly fifty miles north of
the Arras sector, where the British
push is still powerfully exerted against
the remnants Of the northernmost end
of the Wotan line.

May OBTAIN PAPER
FROM NOTHCL|FFE.

Washington, May IAN adequate
supply of news print paper for every
American publisher was predicted by
the federal trade commission in an.
nouncing that Lord Northcliffe, the
noted English publisher, probably
would turn over to the American
Newspaper Publishers association for
distribution the entire output of his
big Newfoundland paper mills.
The addition of the $4,000 tons of
paper produced annually by the North
cliffe mills, it is said, will break the
print paper market and assure small
publishers an adequate supply at low
er prices. ..
It is said there is little doubt that
Lord Northcliffe will let the paper
come to the United States and that
arrangements will be made with the
Canadian government for lifting it's
export embargo.
Suggestions that the United States
be permitted to take the production
of the Northcliffe plants we're made
by the trade commission some weeks
ago to the British publisher, who &C.
cepted, it is said, on condition that
the paper go only to small publishers.
The commission agreed to this.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW 0 \. !. KIDNEYS Il N
~ = Z - 50
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
have bladder trouble Take
glass Of Salts. y =t1

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked 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 sluggish
kidneys.
SThe moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined 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 weakness.
e Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.
