The wages OF every workingman and

every bushel of wheat depend upon
the freedom of the seas
Freedom on the seas Is just like
freedom on land; it means nothing if
one person or nation is free to treat
another just as he wishes. Real free

equal rights upon the seas, protected
and regulated by known and accepted
rules Of law. IL w had allowed Ger
man submarines the kind of freedom
they demanded. American industry
would now be wrecked and the Amer

Will Give Details of Casualties.


"a bureau of communication, of
which Vim. X. Castle, Jr., former
ly assistant dean of Harvard col
lege and editor of the Harvard
Graduates Magazine, is director.
This bureau supplements in a per
sonal and humanitarian way the re-
ports Of the statistical division of
the war department which gives to
relatives official notice when a sol
.dier is reported killed, wounded or
missing.
The anxiety which naturally re-
suits from the official report to rela-
tives thata soldier has been wound
&c" or is missing" will, as far as
possible, be dispelled by the bur
eau, which will advise in detail the
nature and extent of the wound,
and will gather evidence from com
rades in arms and at the hospitals
and rest camps regarding those re-
ported missing. "
Any information of interest or
consolation to relatives thus obtain
ed will be transmitted to them
through personal letters, while
messages from the wounded will be
conveyed through this same agency.
The information on which the
bureau will base its reports is gath
cred through a central office in
Paris, under the direction of +.
Gerry Chadwick of New York, aid
ed by the Rev. Robert Davis of
Englewood, N. J., and thirty as
siStants stationed at the base hospi-
tails and rest camps to which sol
diers are generally returned follow
ing important engagements.
With the increase of the Ameri-
can forces and participation i'll the
war, this number will have to be
greatly increased. The information
will for the most part be forwarded
from the Paris office to this country
by mail.
For the present the bureau is re-
porting on all cases that come to its
attention. However, it is probable
that with the increase of reports
from the front, information will be
sent only to relatives requesting it.

KEEPS KIDNEYS
| ACTIVE WITH A
GLASS OF SALTS
Must flush your Kidneys oc-
casionally if you eat meat
regularly.
Noted authority tells what
causes Backache and
Bladder weakness.

No man or woman who eats meat
|regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which clogs the kid
ney pores SO they sluggishly filter or
strain only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness,
constipation, dizziness sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from slug
sish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your. back hurts, or
| il the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
~ sediment, irregular of passage or
ended by sensation of scalding.
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
core breakfast for a few days and
YOUR kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
OF grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine SO il
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is. inexpensive and can
rot injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
l and then to keep the kidneys clean
hand the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

ENTIRE AVIATION
FIELD IS GIVEN
TO AMERICANS
British Royal Flying Corps
Rushed Work in Texas
Camp
BY Associated Press

+. Fort Worth, Tex, April 2.-The
British royal flying corps command
ed by Brigadier General Hoare, of
Indian jungle campaign fame, which
has been training here since October,
soon will be starting back to Toronto,
Canada. The training will be resum-
ed in Canada.
The British, thousands strong,
came to Fort Worth and shared the
three American fields here at the
invitation of the United States gov
ernment. 1t was a return courtesy
mer to the Americans to train in
Canada. Among the first arrivals at
the American aviation training fields
was Lord Wellesley, grandson of the
Duke of Wellington and now lieu
tenant colonel. Lord Wellesley will
head the first contingent that leaves
Fort Worth for Canada.
Another famous flyer who reached
the Texas fields, was Captain Yer
non Castle, an ace of the air, VINO
subsequently was killed in an acci-
dent.
The British opened the three
fields here, taking charge before the
Americans arrived. They have re-
tanned charge of the training, even
of the Americans, and have directed
the aerial gunnery school continu-
ously. Major ballard has been in
charge of the gunnery branch since
Major Kinnersley was sent back TO
the western front.
Training Rushed
The training has been rapid and
intensive, nothing illustrating this
more than the large number OF ca
diets killed. To date Al deaths have
occurred from accidents at the three
fields-tWo- thirds being British. The
vast majority of those killed were
cadets-only two captains succumb-
ing to injuries, though a number OF
other officers were injured. Three
mechanics have been killed.
The number of mechanics sent
abroad has not been large, each
squadron being composed almost eX-
clusively of flyers, so great has been
the call.
The British will not return TO
Canada in one body-the movement
extending over ten days. After the
men in the fields have moved out the
Headquarters staff will go.
Whether the British will return
to Fort Worth next fall depends
upon whether they receive an invi-
tation from the War Department, II
is said here. With the departure oi
the English, the fields here Will be
devoted to Americans.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
RAILROAD BOARD
OF ADJUSTMENT
Name Officials Last Night;
Carriers and Brotherhoods
Are Recognized

Washington, April Members
of the railroad Administrations board
of adjustment, which will pass on
disputes over rules of contracts and
employment conditions arising be-
tween railroad arrangements and the
four leading railway brotherhoods,
were announced last night. The
board will meet here next Mon
day to organize and will proceed i'm
mediately to consider number OF
pending disputes. -......
The board will consist of four rep
resentatives of railway arrangements
and four officers of the brotherhoods
as follows: E. T. Whittier, assistant
general manager of the Pennsylva-
MIA Lines west; John G.. Walber, sec
retary of the Bureau of Informa-
tion of Eastern Railways; j. w. Hig-
gins, executive secretary of the AS
sociation of Western Railways; DR..
G. p. Neill, manager of the infor-
nation bureau of southeastern rail-
ways; L. E. Sheppard, Vice-president
of the conductors brotherhood; f..
A. Burgess, assistant chief of the
engineers; Albert Phillips, vice.
president of the firemen, and w. N.
Doak, vice-president of the train
men.
Carriers Represented
The representatives of the man
agements were appointed by the
three regional directors of the rail-
road administration, and the chief
of each brotherhood named his rep
resentative. Mr.. Walber, Mr.. Hig-
gins, Doctor Neill and Mr.. Shep-
pard were members of the old COM
mission of eight which settled dis
putes under the Adamson act. This
commission has gone out of existence
and its functions are assumed by the
new adjustment board.
The boards decisions will be final
except in case of a tie vote, when w.
S. Carter, labor director for the
railroad administration, will decide
an issue. Wage questions will not
be considered directly by the board,
although matters of pay are neces-
sarily wrapped up in many disputes
over hours or conditions of employ
ment. Director General McAdoo re-
serves the right to fix wages and
hours of labor, and the only ques-
tions to reach the board will be on
| disputes which cannot be settled be-
| tween the labor organization's. chief
and the general manager of a rail-
road.
Similar boards probably will be
created later for other branches OF
| railway employees.
