CONVOYS DEFEATED U BOATS
Depth Charges and Listening Devices
Contributed to Success.

New York.-The convoy system,
which many naval men had termed
impracticable, overcame the German
submarine menace and figured ire
mendously in the winning of the war,
lsRear Admiral William S. Sims, COM
mander-in-chief of the American navy's
forces in European waters, declared
on his arrival here Monday aboard
the British liner Mauretania.
Depth charges and listening devices,
he said, contributed materially to sue
cess in maintaining practically un-
broken the transatlantic bridge" Of
transports and supply ships essential
to the allied victory, as did the mag
nificent work" of the merchant sea-
men who "took their cargoes across,
convoy or no convoy" but it was the
conveying scheme, worked out to a
fine detail by the combined fleets Of
the associated powers, the officer as
serted, which made possible the trans
portation and supplying of the great
American force whose appearance in
battle with the allies turned the tide
against the German invaders on the
western front.

Paris.-It seems to be the general
impression that President Wilson in

sions to make peace Immediately up
on the terms which their respective
governments have already accepted.
Failing in this, the president pro
poses that the United States shall
handle its foreign affairs in its own
way and upon its own initiative.
That is what Mr.. Wilson's hurry
cali to the steamer George Washington
means.
Orders were sent to that ship Oh
April 6 through the navy department
to proceed to Brest Immediately, re-
CARELESS OF schedule. This will make
it possible for the president to return
to Washington within ten days If
necessary.
The statement was made Monday by
an American official close to the pres
ident: The president is absolutely and
firmly against any compromise which
would defeat the purpose of the orig
inal plans of the United States. Never
has he been more insistent that the
peace treaty must be prepared and
based absolutely upon justice, not on
compromise.

Why is a wedding ring? Why does

woman who becomes his bride7 Why
doesn't he give her bracelet or neck

ring the universal symbol used at we'd

Probably not. When ycu were ready
to marry, you hustled of to the near

your bride, and, as far as you were
concerned, that ended the matter.
The origin of the wedding ring Is
wrapped In obscurity. A number Of
theories have been advanced to ex-
plain 1t. One harks back to ancient
Egypt. Before the time of minis and
coinage in Egypt, gold money was
made in the form Of ring. and the
fingers Of mans hands were his
most convenient bank. He wore his
money. When an enamored swain
slipped one of these money rings on
his brides finger, he did 1t to SYM
bolize that he gave her not only him.

just what the modern bridegroom
means when he says In the ceremony

A IL the churches are decorated
~ for the festival after Resur-
4 - reetion; and the lily, emblem
of purity, sweetness, and grace COM
5ined. is the favorite flower for deco
ration.
Flowers voice the essential feeling
of Easter. Each fragrant blossom is
the fulfillment of a divine promise.
For the perennial miracle of an awak-
ened earth is in full harmony with the
aspiring note of religion reiterating its
faith in the promise of a new life.
Flowers, like music, speak the Ian
guage of the heart. They are capable
of conveying the most personal and In
diyidual ideals while yet appealing to
a common universal vision and imagi-
nation.
This characteristic of flowers fits
them especially both to express the
private affections of the giver and en-
rich the symbolism of the altar. A
basket or a cross of flowers can say all
the heart wishes to say and say 1t
without obtruding personal feeling.
In medieval times flowers spoke a
definite language, the Interpretation OF
which seems almost lost for season.
The palm, the classical symbol of
victory, was early taken as the symbol
of martyrdom. 1t was outlined on the
tombs of the early martyrs, and 1t was
placed In the hands of those who suf-
fered in the cause of truth, to express
their final victory over the powers of
sin and death.
Roses white and red voice innocence

placed upon the brow of ST. Cecilia.
Roses and fruit are borne by st. Doro-
thea. A white anchor of camelias, with
its top cross, expresses faith and
hope.
The lily has long been regarded as
expressive of purity. In Bermuda, the
home of our Easter lily. all the roads
are full of people, white and black,
carrying lilies to the churches at dawn
on Easter day. With them the door
ways, affairs and pulpits are decorated,
and the graves are completely covered.
Each lily and each Easter flower thus
bestowed is vocal, like one of those
old litanies that have descended to
us from time immemorial, full of
wholesome piety and charity-com-
mon prayer to all devout souls. The
flowers are Of yet older birth than the
ancient prayers-primeva litanies be-
for ever music was.
Their eloquence is growing on US
from year to year, as we bring roses,
lilies and other Easter flowers to deck
the affairs of God, to hallow with their
perfume and beauty the resting, places
Of the departed and to dedicate our
homes to Christ with our bright,
sweet, sacred emblems.
Christ is risen! with glad lips we utter.

Starving in the
Midst Of PLENTY
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

acid-stomach is the real cause of the
trouble.
Naturally, the sensible thing to do
is to strike right at the very cause of
this trouble and clean the excess acid
out Of the stomach. There is quick.
easy way to do this. A wonderful new
remedy quickly removes the excess
acid without the slightest discomfort.
1t is EATONIC. Made in the form
of tablets-they are good to eat-just
like bit of candy. They literally
absorb the injurious excess acid and
carry it away through the intestines
They also drive the bloat out of the
body-in fact you can fairly feel it
work. Make test of EATONIC in
your own case today. Get a big box
OF EATONlC from your druggist. See
for yourself how surely it brings quick
relief In those painful attacks of in.
digestion, bitter heartburn, belchlng.
disgusting food repeating, that awful
bloated, lumpy feeling after eating and
other stomach miseries. Danish all
your stomach troubles so completely
that you forget you have a stomach.
Then you can eat what you like and
digest your food In comfort without
fear of distressing after effects.
III EATONlC does not relieve you,
II VIII not cost you one penny. You
can return 1t to your druggist and get
your money back. So If you have the
slightest question about your health
If you feel you are not getting all
the strength out of your food--if you
are not feeling tlp-top, ready for your
work, full Of vim and vigor-do give
EATONlC fair trial this very day
and see how much better you will feel

One of the worst features of acid
stomach is that very often 1t literally
ytarves its victims in the midst Of
plenty. And the strange thing about
it Is that the people with acid-stomachs
seldom know what their trouble
really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
eat, they do not gain in strength.
This Is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food Instead of healthy, nor
NAL digestion, the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment. Then
when this mass of sour, fermented
food, charged with excess acid, passes
into the intestines, it becomes the
breeding place for all kinds of germs
and toxic posons, which in turn are
absorbed into the blood and In this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why it Is
that so many thousands of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and yet
are literally starving in the midst of
plenty. Their acidstomachs make it
absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure of nourishment out
or their food. And it doesn't take
long for this poor nourishment to show
Its Ill effects in weakened, enact
ated body.
You may say: "My stomach doesn't
hurt me-" That may be true because
many victims of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer- stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
all Kinds of aches and pains-head-
aches, rheumatic twinges, govt. lum-
Dago' pains around the heart and In
the chest-who never dream that IN
