Sufferers Should Realize that 1t Is
a Blood Infection and Can Be
Permanently Relieved.

Rheumatism means that the
blood has become saturated with
uric acid poison.
1t does not require medical ad-
vic to know that good health is
absolutely dependent upon pure
blood. When the muscles and
joints become sore and drawn
with rheumatism, it is not a wise
thing to take a little salve and
by rubbing it on the sore spot ex-
Dect to get ride of your rheumatics.
You must go deeper than that,
down deep into the blood where
the poison turks and which is
not affected by salves and oint-

WAR CANTEEN
TO Be OPENED
NEXT MONDAY
Society Women Will Ope-
rate Cafeteria to Aid
Navy Relief.

| As the result of weeks of work by
la committee OF society women
headed by Mrs. Leigh Palmer. wife
of Admiral Palmer. U. S. N, Wash
ington's first war canteen will be
opened in the Corcoran Court Build
ing, on f street, between Seven
teenth and Eighteenth street north
west, Monday morning.
The added number of government
clerks and war workers in the Dis
trict departments. particularly the
State, War and Navy Building, is
the primary cause TO- the opening
of the Corcoran Court Canteen.
For Convenience of Clerks.
On account of these extra clerks
it is said, food lines have been
formed in the small restaurants
during the past few months. This
new canteen will be under the d.
rection of an experienced manager
and will accommodate at least 1,5OC
persons per day, according to esti-
mates.
1t is finished throughout in heavy
white enamel. On account of press
ing emergency, chairs and tables
have not yet received their coats
of enamel, but within a few months
1t is hoped that everything in the
restaurant will be in a snowy garb
The institution will be managed
under the cafeteria plan at popular
prices. This plan is also something
novel in the city. The diner enters
Rmnt Y
tray, passes down the line Of food
takes what he wants. and pays the
cashier at the end of the line fol
the food on the tray.
In this way there can be no con-
fusion either on the part of the
management or the customer.
For worthy Cause.
Funds raised by the operation OF
this canteen will be given to the
navy relief, for the benefit of wild
ows and orphans of officers and en-
listed men who go down during the
war. While the government sup
piled the space for the canteen. il
was equipped by the committee.
The committee is composed of the
following ladies':
Mrs. Leigh Palmer. wife OF Ad'
miral Palmer, chief of the bureau
of navigation of the Navy Depart
ment: Mrs. William S. Benson, wife
of Admiral Benson. chief of the bu'
reau of operations of the Navy De-
partment; Mrs. Richard Vain
wright. wife of Rear Admiral Vain
wright and Mrs. Albert Niblack
wife of Rear Admiral Niblack.

PROPERTY OF
ENEMIES HELD
Custodian Palmer Gives
Notice that Law Will
Be Enforced.

This sort of thing has got to
stop. and I am going to stop 1t
even IL I have to put a few of
these people in Jail. where they will
have plenty of time to remember
with regret the folly and futility
of forgetting with profit to them
selves"
night of A. Mitchell Palmer. alien
property custodian, in announcing
an invasion of the courts to bring
to light enemy interests involved
in legal procedure. The custodian
said:
Much Property Unreported.
Il am satisfied that there re-
mains unreported hundreds of
thousands of dollars of money and
property in this country belonging
to enimies. Much of it Is under
wills, trusts and estates in process
of administration in our courts"
The law requires all executors
and similar personages to report
such property to the alien property
custodian. A fine of $4,000 and
Imprisonment for ten years are the
penalty for violations.
Special investigators will examine
the records of every court of pro-
bate Jurisdiction in the country.
Full reports will be made to Gus
todian Palmer. He will require
administrators. etc. to file reports
and explain why they have not done
so earlier.
Must Give Explanation.
And unless some perfectly rea-
sonable explanation is made" he
said tonight. their names and the
evidence will be turned owed to the
Department of Justice for atten-
tion. I now feel that the day OF
grace is past"
Many banks, trust companies and
corporation also have forgotten
70 report enemy holdings. said the
custodian. Business concerns have
forgotten" to report debts-in a
case recently brought to the at
tention of Mr.. Palmer to the extent
of s12J.OOO. Relatives have for
gotten to report investments be-
ing handled by them.
\ railroad company has refused
to pay a judgment for a large sum
because the people interested in the
estate and the judgment live in Ger
many The railroad said it could
hold the money until the end of the
war as well or better than the ad-
ministrator. A complaint in this
case was met with prompt action
on the part of the alien property
custodian.

first artist has been in the case OF a
socially successful young man of the
Creel Bureau, who received the rank
OF captain in the Intelligence Depart
ment. His commission was steel
riveted, requiring that he be kept on
duty in Washington. He Is p years
old and without dependents He is
now decorating a swivel chair in the
Intelligence Bureau, ensconced safely
where hostile powder will never soil
his well-fitting uniform
stan Parades Streets.
Some of the staff officers have tech
nical qualifications which make them
of extraordinary value to the war ma
chine.
1t is thought that some OF these
men may remain in Washington de-
spite their liability to the draft.
Others who are within the draft age
would not come in the draft. because
of physical disqualifications which
however. do not impair their value in
War Department work.
An Office order recently issued by a
high official of the ordnance depart
ment informs his subordinate officers
that too much public comment has
been caused by officers being on the
street continually. Officers are in
structed to keep at their desks and
on the work in hand.
The Notifying section of the4Avia-
ton Corps has been a favorite roost-
ing place for "fghtless fighters" The
majority of the reserve officers are
said TO be within draft age. 1t is said
that. in one case. lieutenant of this
corps was so ignorant of military
discipline that he sent a brother lieu
tenant to a private for orders.
"Bomb-Proof, Commissions,
Representative Caldwell. of the
House Military Committee, said, in
speaking of the proposed wedding out
of undesirable officers from the War
Department:
The chief of staff has promised
that bomb-proof commissions for men
of draft age will become a thing of
the past in the army. I think that
he will accomplish his aim in the
most efficient and quick manner.
There are numbers of splendid Of
ficers in the War Department who
are credit to the army. But in the
great and rapid expansion of the War
Department during the past year, II
is only natural that some mistakes
in granting commissions have been
made. Some men have sheaked into
the service to protect their own
hides.
"And it is these men, these in
fernal duckers, that we want to get.
I want to see every one of them sent
to the field and put in the front
line trenches"
Representative William Gordon, OF
Ohio. believes that every man Of
Class l in the draft who Is holding

Helping Russia,
(New York Times. }

Nobody in Russia, we imagine, save the Bolsheviki and other persons or factions acting in the German interest for the ruin of that great country, will resent the landing of the small, the very small, armed force which Japan and the United States will jointly send to Vladivostok. There can be no menace to the territorial integrity of Russia in a military ex petition of such moderate numbers, all told less than an American dlV1- sion. The purpose of the expedition is distinctly set forth by the state department: The only present ob- ject for which American troops will be, employed will be to guard mili- tary stores which may subsequently, be needed by the Russian forces and to render such aid as may be accept able to the Russians in the organiza- tiOn Of their own self -defence.' The large stores of military supplies at NladlVosto1 will be safeguarded by the American and Japanese troops and they will assist in protecting the rear of the westward moving Czecho- Slovaks. The Japanese and the United States governments are in en- tire agreement; in separate state
 
 identical policy, assurance is given to the Russians that there will be no impairment of their territorial in tegrity now or hereafter, that the only object is to render such aid "as shall be acceptable to the Russian people themselves in their endeavor to regain control of their own affairs their own territory, and their own destiny"
 The sending of these troops marks the beginning of new period in the relation of the Allies to revolution ized Russia. It marks, too, the end of the lOng-COntinued and persistent efforts in this country to bring about recognition of the Soviet govern ment by the United States. In part that attempt may have been the out come of pure ignorance of what has been going on in Russia, of the na- ture of the Soviet governme ent, of the character of Lenine and Trotzky, and of the certain consequences of aband- oning the Russian people to the Ger mans and to their no less dangerous enemies in Moscow. It Is evident that the feeling, so long prevailing at Washington, that the sending of an allied force into Siberia would be dangerous, since it might offend the Russians and move them to demand the aid of Germany to eXpel the in vaders, has given place to a better understanding of the present temper of the Russian people. Evidence, abundant and convincing, that the Russians would welcome allied de- liverance from their perils has long been accessible to all In this country who would pay heed to it; but there has not been wanting a small ele- ment interested in producing the contrary belief and successful in ob- taining acceptance of a view which utterly misrepresented the temp per of the great mass of Russians.
