FORTS TO BELEFT
ON HUN COAST
And KEEL CANAL
HelgoIand Fortifications Will
Be Destroyed, But Basin
Will Be Retained as
FiShermen's Haven.

Paris, April l8,-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-The naval terms to
be incorporated in the peace treaty
concerning the Kiel canal and Hell
goland, have been revised in several
important particulars. 1t was the
original plan to destray the fortifi-
cations of the canal, making it a
strictly commercial waterway with
out defenses. The changes that now
have been made leave the present
Notifications in existence, and pro-
visions also have been inserted per-
hitting of the continuance of the
present coast defenses, all of which
were to have been destroyed, ac-
cording to the original plan.
The changes concerning Helgo-
land leave intact the present large
basin constructed on an extensive
scale for the use of submarines dur
ing the war. 1t was concluded that
the use of submarines now had been
so restricted that the basin no long
er constituted menace, and its con-
tinuance was decided upon as pro-
viding useful haven for the North
sea fishing fleet in case of distress
The Notifications of Helgoland are
to be dismantled so that the basin is
virtually the only thing retained.
The final disposition of the Ger
man fleet is one of the subjects still
undecided and even the highest
naval authorities are not aware how
the question stands since it passed
into the hands of the council of four.
The disposition to be made of the
battleships and battle cruisers is one
of the chief things to be determined
under the head of naval terms and
the decision will affect the large
number of capital ships held under
the terms of the armistice.

Shortage in Pearls Is
Caused by Wars End

Chicago, April 1S.-Jewelers are
having difficulty in obtaining enough
pearls to supply sales demands
which have increased since the war
ended and peace has given the world
a chance to renew its old passion
for self-adornment.
This word comes from Paris. one

"As far as buyers in this market are
concerned, their demands can not
be satisfied because the pearls they
want can not be found. In conse-
quence, spectators are buying up
any old thing in the way of pearls,
including goods never wanted be-
fore. They feel they can take any
thing in the pearl line and make a
profit on it.
Dealers in neutral countries, es-
pecially Spain, are buying large

Cen. PERSH|NC
SENDS CHEER TO
TROOPS IN north
Calls Upon American Soldiers
in Russia to Maintain Their
Morale Until Relief Can
Be Given.

Archangel, April l8.-(By the As
ISOLATED Press. Brig. Gen. Wilds
P. Richardson. U. S. A., arrived at
Archangel with his staff aboard the
first big icebreaker which has made
its way into the regular Archangel
docks since the beginning of winter.
One of the first acts of General
Richardson, who comes to take COM
mand OF the American forces in
north Russia, was to make public to
the American troops a telegram
from General Pershing, calling upon
them to maintain their morale.
General Pershing's message was
as follows:
Inform Our troops that all Amer
lea resornds with the praise of the
splendid record the American ex-
peditionary forces have made. The
reputation of the American soldier
for valor and his splendid discipline
under the most trying conditions
have endeared every member of the
expeditionary forces, not only to his
friends and relations, but to all
Americans.
"Their comrades in France have
not forgotten that the Americans in
north Russia are part of the expe-
dictionary forces and we are proud to
transmit to you the generous praise
| of the American people. I feel sure
every soldier in northern Russia
will join his comrades here in the
high resolve of returning to Amer
lea with unblemished regulations.
II wish every soldier in northern
Russia to know that fully appre-
ciate that his hardships have con-
tinued long after those endured by
our soldiers in France and that
every effort is being made to re-
lieve conditions in the north at the
earliest possible moment"
General Richardson plans to make
trip to the front as soon as pos
! sible.

Red Cross WithdraWs From
Relief Work in Asia Minor

New York, April 1s.-Withdrawal
of the American Red Cross from
relief work in Aleppo, Aintab,
Marash and other districts north of
Jerusalem, in Asia Minor, and its
administration by the American
committee for Armenian and Syrian
relief was announced today by John
H. Finley, commissioner for the
Red Cross for Palestine, who has
just returned from a trip to the
near east.
Describing conditions in the near
east, Mr.. Finley said:
From the one town of Aintab,
$4,000 Armenians were driven into
the desert to die, and now there are,
so far as we can learn, only 1000
or 5000 alive. If this proportion
holds true throughout, then nearly
$4,000 men, women and children
persisted in that desert.
Throughout Asia Minor, beyond
the points to which the British and
French troops have advanced, the
Armenians are still being prosecuted
by the Turks"

KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larry can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q.
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidney
will 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 and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efervescent
lithla-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications
