pots and pans and chairs and beds, if she wants them. We have yet to learn that Germany has large stocks of anything to export, for with few exceptions her cupboard is bare, and her industries are stripped of labor more mercilessly than ours. In the period of want, scarcity and poverty which will .lfflict half the world when the war is over, woe betide the minis ter who would on any ground deprive British purchasers of goods or mate rial or food which may be offered to our merchants at any price, however, low.
 Up to the present have heard of no better rule than that Free Traders and all prudent statesment must pre- vent any and every attempt to impose any impor charge or to inflict any artificial price on the consumer. If the British consumer is never prevented from drawing what he needs from any market, whether at home or abroad. we shall not be seriously afflicted with corrupt or stupid tariffs.

PIT|ABLE PLIGHT
 OF REFUGEES OF
 NORTHERN ITALY

Taormina, Sicily, Feb. 13.-(Corre- spondence of The Associated Press >- Fourteen hundred refugees from inc country north of the Piave have found shelter in this old Sicilian mountain roWn, described by some Americans as the most beautiful place in the world. The hotels which cared for tourists before the war have been thrown open to the refugees. They have rooms generally by families, and club together for their meals in much the same way as Italian. immigrants make shift on the emigrant steamers.
 English and American residents joined with the townspeople in pro- viding clothing. The two problems are food and employment, and repre- sentatives of the American Red Cross who visited here left a fund with the local war committee to purchase wool and pay the refugee women for knit ting warm socks and gloves for Ital- ian soldiers.
 Five hundred refugees arrived at midnight at the Giardina station, two and a half miles below on the coast line railroad, in the midst of a tor 1SILIIdl uOWnpOuT.

Some had es- capped in the night barely clothed. Many walked continuously for five days and nights before reaching the train which they took eight weary days and nights to bring them here It was so packed that many stood ur the entire distance. Two little chil- dren succumbed to the haIdships or the journey. Many of the families have missing members Before reach. ing their trains they endured almos cloudbursts of rain, the difficult cross ing of swollen streams and solder plains, with ever the horror of the pursuing Austrians. During this time families became separated, childrer lost and their parents and the few
 little treasures from their homes werS
 gradually dropped aside to make
 easier their hurried journeying.

WANTS TO ANNEX ISLANDS.

Stockholm, Feb. 13-Proposals for the annexation of the Aland Islands to Sweden continue a topic of dis cussion in political circles here. Coun- sells of moderation seem to have the upper hand and even the pro-Germau newspapers generally insist that the Alands cannot be occupied without the preliminary assent of Finland. though 1t would be inconsistent says the Dagblad, flor the Films to refuse this if the islanders expressed wish for reunion with Sweden"
 It appears, however, that steps in this direction by Sweden would not be welcomed in Finland, and that even the Swedish section of the popu- lation of Finland opposed the cessio- of the Islands.

Each Local Druggist Will Give Away 60 Free Pack ages, 12 of Which Are Full Size 25- cent Jars.

Fifteen years ago, in little North Carolina town, a druggist discovered a process of combining the old-fashion- ed emedies-Camphor, Turpentine and Menthol-with certain volatile oils such as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs and Juniper, so that, when applied externally, the body heat would vaporize these ingredients. These vapors, inhaled all night long, carry the medication, with each breath. di- rect to the air passages and lungs. Today this vapor treatment, Vick's 8 Vapo Rub, is almost universally used throughout the South in preference to internal dosing" It is quick in its action, and what is more important, particularly to mothers with small children, it is applied externally and hence does not disturb the most deli cate stomach. Colds are easiest treat ed at the beginning and VapoRub l makes the ideal preventive for the entire family.
 This preparation comes in salve form and it's action is twofold. Ex- formally, it is absorbed thru and stimulates the skin, taking out that tightness and soreness in the chest ] Internally, the vapors inhaled loosen

TURK BATTERIES
 OvERPOWERED BY
 CAVALRY CHARGE

London, Feb. 1S.-CCorrespondenc If The Associated Press. )-How Brit ish cavalry charged and captured three Turkish batteries and thus opened the way to Jerusalem, is told in letter from British officer
 Tt was the first time the brigade had used their swonds," he says, When 'Charge!' sounded I think every man went stark mad. Guns were belching their shells at us in one sheet of flame, and bullets by thousands swept past, but not one man seemed to get hit as on we went, with drawn swords flashing in the sun, in a long straight line, horses going like mad and everyone shouting like fury. Now we could see some of our pals falling, yet straight at the guns we charged. As we came up with the first line of protecting infan- try the enemy put up their hands as they stood in the trenches, so we jumped them and were charging at the second line when the first line thought better of their surrender and fired at us from behind. Their artil- lery and machine guns kept firing at us up to the moment we reached them with the sword. It seems mar vellous that any of us escaped alive, but though our ranks were thinned we took the positions, and all the guns and ammunition"

moment-much depends on that-we must be in a position to use the weap- on in all it's rigor on the one hand, or on the other, as a contrast, to allow the people of . the Central Empires, when we have replenished our de- pleted stocks, to have access to these raw materials. Any government which counts on the efficacy of the econom- ic offensive, must contemplate it's full rigors if it is to be used at all, or its ! complete suspension if Germany does what is required of her. No tariff re- former can escape from the necessity of the contrast, and no Free Trader I would be foolish enough to say that this weapon should not be used in case of need.
 A League of Nations can be enforc- | ed by means of naval and military pressure, but the bloodless weapon, which is briefly described here, with it's warning to and menace hanging over the heads of the merchants, manufacturers, financiers, and work men of a state tempted to flout the l league, is likely to be the sanction on which the promoters of the league will have to rely. The alternative in this case, also is simple; materials. and goods withheld from the offend ing country with prompt undiluted severity by way of contrast to access to these supplies during good beha- vior.
 In future we must run no risks which are avoidable of finding our selves without essential materials of defense. That Germany should be able, by cutting off supplies of any commodity, to involve our greatest industries in paralysis, or to deprive ial, is peril of which recent exper- fence has taught us to keep clear. In the past, we all with one accord, dealt with battleships, torpedoes and guns on an exclusive and not on a free ex- change basis. We kept the industries of naval and military defense warm and active, paying boldly and lavish ly for inventions, designs, plant, staff machinery, buildings. To that extent and within those categories, there was no offense against the practice of free exchange in commerce. This was a 1 sphere outside of fiscal controversy
 If we do not find ourselves in a stable world after this war, we shall stil
 have to provide for armaments, and armaments nowadays include a great
 CT variety of devilish ingenuity thar in former days.

After-War Requirements


 The chief requirements will include, besides the numerous articles of pre- war days, trinitroto1uol and the whole group of aniline explosives. Special treatment for them and arrangements for their regular production or means of production must accordingly be- de- devised in the same way that we have had to keep Woolwich going, or take over as national concerns the greater private arsenaIs. Explosives and dyes come from the same works.
 There may be other key industries for which special treatment is essen tial (spelter is one of them) but we cannot compile our list now. Already numberless business men are prepar- ed to show the world that theirs are key industries, and they ask for spec ial exemption from our fiscal rules. Men who have never read a chapter of Adam Smith are already repeating his sentence on Opulence and Defence, and are imploEing their political friends to regard it as their guide in every particular trade! How natural this is, and how easily capable of all the unseemly practice of tariff par lIdIICAlS. lH6 O1 Sp0CId1 CdS0S will have to be ruthlessly restricted. One of the methods adopted by the i present government to foster British trade has been plainly described by a minister during the debates on an otherwise trivial measure called the Non Ferrous Metals Bill. This new method is to prepare through par liament the ground for the erection of big corporations formed under gov ernment patronage. Competitors arc to be wiped out if they had the remot- est connection with what are now ene- my peoples, and ministers have frank l ly told the House of Commons that their main object is to create by legis- lation conditions without which the syndicate declines to operate. The in- cubating of something like trust or combination of the German or Amer ican type is a pernicious device in "re- construction
