Moore's strand-.Tar.sn Of the
Apea.-

The remainder of this week at
Moore's Strand Theater will be de-
voted to further projections of First
Nationals perturbation of Edgar
Rice Burroughs' fascinating story.
'Tarzan of the Apes" which is
proving the record photoplay at
traction of the season in Washing
ton. The jungle prologue In which
Charles the Great. the famous edu-
Gated ape, and his simian consort
demonstrate that the episodes de-
picted upon the screen in no way
transcend actuality, also" will be
continued as an interesting and en-
Tightening part of an extraordi-
nary entertainment.
'TarZan Of the Apes" Is a pic
ture that bridges the gap between
aristocratic London society and life
with the untamed beasts of the
primeval forests and jungles OF
Africa. The variety of scene pre-
sented and the diversity of action
contributed to an amazing series OF
events by a proficient cast mark
this subject as a thing apart from
the ordinary cinema offering.
Next week will bring to the
Strand another super-production in
Lest We Forget" moving indict-
ment Of the Hun. in which the pic
tured star is Miss Rita Jolivet, sur
vivor OF the Lusitania and stage
star. who herself will appear at the
Strand in conjunction with the
showing of the picture Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday. Lest We
Forget" will hold the screen
the week.
All features are supplemented by
short-reel flm attractions and or

Holland, Norway and Swift

London, May se.-once more
German ruthlessness in disregarding

They are Holland. Norway and
The Dutch crisis. recently regard
ed Is settled through concessions
made by the Dutch to Berlin's de-
mands for railways through the

the submarine warfare. 4
The Dutch government has sent
a naval convoy to protect a small
fleet of merchant vessels on their
journey to- East India. In so do
ing 1t has acted within its rights
under international law.
The warshlps In the convoy
have been instructed to resist any

the merchant Strips. II a German
submarine is encountered. there is
likely to be a battle. and IL there
is q battle there will be war.
Sink Nerwesiaa ships.
Norway also is facing war over
the U-boat question. The Kaiser's
divers have renewed their unre-
stricted warfare on Norwegian
fishing vessels In the North Sea
and the Arctic Ocean.
Norway has stood for q lot of
this sort Of thing but there will
come an end to its patience. II
Norway goes to war. IT probably
will mean Sweden will cast her lot
with the allies also.
Five Norwegian vessels have been
and sunk. Fishermen
saved from them report that the u
boat commander told them he was
under orders to sink every ship
he met. particularly Norwegian ves-
sells.
The irony of this Is In the fact
that these very vessels have been
Germany with hsh to
eat.
As for Switzerland. a crisis ~ex-
lists between Berlin and Berne over
the coal question. 1t is similar to
the recent controversy which nearly
forced Holland into the war.
Hold Swiss Freight Cars.
Following the German threat to
stop sending coal to Switzerland.
the directors of the Swiss federat-
ed railroads demanded the return
of 1000 Swiss freight cars now in
Germany.
But Germany needs freight cars
for troop movements. They have
not yet been returned
In the meantime the Swiss have
reached an agreement with the al
lies whereby the latter will supply
them $1,000 tons OF coal a month
for $50 . ton. This was a stroke
OF allied diplomacy. It relieves the
Swiss OF any immediate necessity
for agreeing to the German de-
mands.
But when little nations don't
agree to German demands, the
kaiser sends Mackensen to crush
them.
Another nation which is having
arguments with Germany over the
question is Spain. The
Spanish situation, however, has not
yet reached the stage OF a crisis.

Make-sGft Remedies Are
Absolutely Worthless.

Don't think lightly Of catsrrh.
Do not make the mistake of be-
levins that it is merely an assra-
waited bad cold. True. thu, trouble
usually starts with what is ap-
parently a cold in the head. but
beware of any cold that hangs
on" You may as well realize at
the outset that Catarrh is a serious
disease and one that should not
be trifled with. In fact, in many
instances it is a forerunner of the
most dreaded of all diseases-con-
sumption.
Catarrh ha, become almost a
universal ailment among the Amer
lean people. Almost everywhere.
in theaters. cars. and on the street.
there is a constant shifting and
hawking. for there is bound to be
some one in almost every place
who is afflicted with catarrh. And
every one is a possible victim. for
the germs of the disease are easily
communicated from one person to
another.
So many people afflicted with
this disease have been unable to
lind a cure. although they have
taken many different kinds L. of
treatment for years. until now they
are almost willing to believe the
disease is incurable. Like every
thing else. to find relief from this
disease. the proper treatment must
be resorted to. No other kind can
be expected to do any good.

New Kensington. Pa. has to say
about his Catarrh
