Special Despatch TO THE srS,

WASHINGTON. July j.---Regarding the
Russian situation as becoming hourly
more critical the Entente Allies have
appealed to President Wilson not TO
commit the United States to policy
which would bar American Endorsement
of military intervention.
Premier Clemenceau of France is un-
dcrstood to have sent a special and ur-
gent message to the President which has
been delivered at the White House by
Henri Bergson, one Of Frances leadinS
citizens who Is here on a special mission

duced NJ. BerEson to the President.
Lord Reading, the British Ambassador,
has appealed also to the President on
behalf of the British Government The
President has been against anything
savoring of military intervention. His
plan for helping Russia has not included
any military measure save the despatch
of sufficient troops to form an escort and
for police purposes. But with the En-
tentc Allies now bringing stronger pres
sure than ever TO bear it is thought pos
sibe that the President may at least
hold in allegiance any plans he may have
had toward definitely blocking military
action until after further conferences
have taken place.

bPrkhOn benrS Appeals.
Henri Bergson has come here armed
with appeals from leading statesmen OF
France in favor of establishing mill
tary force in Russia which could form
the raliying point for Russian patriots
against the Germans and the pro-Ger-
man BOlshevki. II is said in diplomatic
circles that both Gen. Joffrc and Gen.
t'och have permitted VI. Bergson to rep
resent them as fdvorinS military action.
1t develops now that the interallied
conference IN France has been consider
ing recommending military action in
Russia as necessary and pressing part
of the general allied programme against
Germany. but the knowledge that Presi-
dent Wilson was supposed to be opposed
on principle to military intervention Is
said to have caused delay in the action
planned by the supreme War Council.
The supreme War Council apparently
does not wish to place itself in the posi-
tion Of forcing the Presidents hand in
this matter. However. if it is under
stood in Paris that the President is no.

Both the French and British Govern
monts are understood to regard the
need for action as extremely pressing
now. They believe delay may have very
serious consequences and both the Brit

One Of the strongest tributes to
the merit of s. 8. s., the famous
old blood remedy, is the fact that
1t is always to be found on the
shelves of practically every drug
store in this country. Unlike so
many preparations that have only
a limited sale, s. S. S. Is known
to druggists everywhere. and many
Of them have sold it ever since
they have been in the drug busi-
ness.
For this great old remedy has
stood the test of time. 1t has been
on the market for more than fifty
years, and in the average drug
store it is as staple as calomel or
other well-known household medf-
cines.7 Many a druggist first be-
gan handling it when a boy, and
IL you will ask any of them about
S. s. s.. they will tell you that 1t
is probably the most reliable pat
tent medicine ever sold.
And when you give the matter
serious consideration, you must ad-
NIT that a remedy that has been
sold In drug stores for half a CEN
tury, increasing in popularity as
the years go by. must certainly
have unusual merit. For. no REM
sdy can BE- eold fois more than .
