WHAT CATARRH IS

Science has shown thatnasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness Of
the body and local treatments in the
form of snuffs and vapors only irritate
and do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with
the oilfood in SCOTS Emulsion which
is a medicinal food and building
tonic, free from any harmful drugs.
1t is helping thousands. Try it.

LORD ROBERT FEARS
 SIBERIAN MENACE
Sees Danger in Changed Attitude
 Of Russians There

London, March 9-Lord Robert Cecil minister Of blockade, ill a statement late yesterday, pointed out the seriousness of the German men, ace in Siberia, and urged Japanese in tervention there.
 We have information today" said Lord Robert t'that German prisoners in Siberia are being organized, and that a, Prussian general has been sent to take charge of them"
 In Trans-Caucasia, said Lord Rob ert, certain elements of the Bolshev- iki, acting in collusion with German and Turkish agents. had adopted openly an anti-Entente attitude, had barred out the British mission which was going to help the Armenians, and had cut British wire communications through North Persia with Tiflis and South Russia.
 Lord Robert said he had received assurances that many Russians would welcome a Japanese expedition to prevent the GermanizatiOn of Siberia.
 Tn fact" he said "I cannot con- ceive of any patriotic Russian who would not prefer the assistance of q friendly power, aiming at the resto- ration of order, to conquest by a ruthless and unprinCipled enemy. The Japanese alone can act effectively in the present crisis. If they are in trusted by the Allies with the duty of going to the assistance of Russia against Germany, l am sure they will carry out the task with perfect loy- atty and great efficiency.
 From the outset of our alliance with Japan she has carried out with great fidelity all her obligations as an ally. We always have found her scrupulously loyal in the performances of her obligations.
 q do not think it is generally realized how tremendously serious the German penetration, of Russia really . is, or what gigantic scheme of world conquest the Germans now have undertaken. It would be in the highest degree foolish, if not criminal, if the Entente failed to take every step possible to frustrate this German scheme. Therefore, I personally believe we would be well advised to seek the assistance of Japan in a matter in which she, and she alone, can do effective service"
