my only hope of cure was an operation.
Trusses did me no good. Finally | got

Ask your druggist for Acid Iron

Denies There Was Mutiny on Ship
 in Brest HarbOr

New York, Dec. 22.--Denlal that there had been mutiny in the crew of the transport Ameri- ca, which docked here yesterday with 13 men in the brig was made today by Major General David c. s,hanks, commander of the port of standardization, in a telegram to Brig. General Frank T. Hines, chief of transportation of the war department. The trouble, the tele- gram said, resulted from failure of certain members of the crew to obey instructions prohibiting shore liberty and pilfering of ships stores and cargo.
 The telegram from General Shanks follows:
 "There was no mutiny. No shots were fired and no one was wounded. The trouble with crew of the America was of two kinds |: First, failure of certain members of crew to obey instructions pro- hibiting shore liberty at Brest; second, pilfering of ships stores and cargoes.
 "On arrival in Brest shore liber- ty was granted but on account of drunkenness and bad behavior of certain members of crew on shore, the master of the ship, at the re- quest of French authorities, stop ped all shore liberty.
 Several members of the crew announced they would go ashore any way and proceeded to do so on lighter under cover of dark ness, but were discovered by the ships officer and sent back to the ship. Other members of the crew also went in life boats at night. These men were appre- hended on return and placed in the brig.
 "There was considerable steal ing of ships stores and cargo. Several men are in the brig for this offense. There is total of 13 men in the brig at present. All members of the crew who were absent without leave and commit ted other infractions of the rules, except stealing, have been logged the maximum amount of pay all lowed by law.
 "Those men guilty of stealing ships lifeboats and from ships stores are in the brig and all necessary witnesses are at hand and steps are being taken to bring them to trial before proper au. thorities List of all insurbordin- ate members of the crew in diff ferent departments has been turn ed in by a master, these men will be placed on the blacklist in the employment office.

Paris, Dec. 22.-Abandonment of the British plan guaranteeing
