WASHINGTON, March 13-On he basis Of infOFmation reaching them today officials of the Labor and Navy Departments believed an early settle ment of the strike Of boat workers employed by private concerns in New York was in sight
 The New York Tow Boat Exchanse has guaranteed to deliver all coal re quired by the Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit Company and thus prevent a. tie up of transportation in New York City Officials interpreted this mes sage as the only means open to O9e- rate enough boats to supply the trans pOrtatiOn companies fuel needs.
 Two steps taken by the War and Navy Departments were expected Ey officials to hasten the end of the strike One was the refusal today to permit Army and Navy floating prop erty at New York to be used to move cCal into Manhattan and Brooklyn. and the other was the decision of the two departments to give employees on their harbOr craft at New York the same wages and working conditions as provided by the Railroad Admin istratiOn for its workers

NEW COIN IN RUSSIA.

London, Jan. 20-Northern Rus sia's new ruble currency, that is,. the currency arranged by the British gov ernment to assist the Archangel Pro- visiona1 government in stabilizing finances, has a fixed rate of exchange of forty rubles to one pound. That places the rubles at six pence, rough ly twelve cents in American money.
 Exchange on the old rubles, both those issued under the imperial gov enment and the Kerensky gov ernment has been extremely un- stable throughout the Bolshevik re- gime in alb parts of Russia. The distribution of money is uneven. Money famines are constantly ap- bearing in many sections, regardless of the fact that all money presses are kept going day and night.
 F. M. Harvey, an English banker, has been named head of the bureau of the Archangel Provisional gov- ernment entrusted with controlling the new rubles. At a. later date agreements may be reached with American and French banks to keep deposits of francs and dollars anG thus facilitate business between those countries and the Northern Russian government.

GERMANS DO NOT
 OVERCHARGE U. S. SOLDIERS.

With The American Army of Oocu- patton, Jan. -(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Analysis of price reports from the entire area occupied by the Americans shows that the prices current prior to the signing of the ar1nistice have remain ed substantially unchanged, Although certain isolated individual cases have been reported of attempts to over charge American soldiers there has been no general tendency among the Germans to increase the prices on goods in the stores. In some shops in Coblenz where prices have ad- vanced since the Americans arrived the merchants contend that this has been necessary because of an in- crease of from twenty to forty pet cent in the price of certain articles from the factory. And to bear out letters from factory arrangements in Berlin and other manufacturing points.
 Coblenz has had as much difficulty in procuring food supplies as any part of the American area, and yet outside of serious shortage in some essentials such as fats, the general ness in regard to the food situation. This hopefulness extends only to thls area, and not to the districts of in- terior Germany which, according to reports, are worse off

RARLEYCORN KILLED
 SELF, SAYS ALISON

"The death of John Barleycorn was suicide" said the Rev. Alexander Al 1ison, Jr., in his address. 'FWho Killed John Barleycorn" at the First Pres- byterian church last night.
 According to the pastor, the saloon had made itself so obnoxious in vari- ous ways to the American public that it virtually killed itself, and there was more than one contributory cause. "One of the big factors" said Rev. Allison "has been the modern interest in the study of social problems"
 Continuing along the lines of cauges for the fall of John Barieycorn the pastor said: 'The history of the sa- loon in politics. from its entrance 60 years ago through the exploitation of the immigrant element to the main tenance of its costly liquor lobby In the National Congress, is one of shame, selfishness and costly fdiocy.'

IF KIDNEYS ACT
 BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is a sign you have been eating too much meat, which forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region It generally means you have been eat Eng too much meat, says well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in thelI' effort to filter 1t from the blood and they become sort of paralyZed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve. them, like you relieve your bowels; remov- ing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells: your stomach sours, tongue ia coated. and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic tTNinges> The urine is cloudy, full of a diment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable phy- sician at once or get from your phar- macist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine, This famous salts is made from the AcIo o1 grapes anu ISiloi JuitS' |olli- h!ned with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so 1t no longer ir- ritates, thus ending bladder weak ness.
 lad Salts is a life saver for regular iSeat eaters, It is inexpensive, can ynt injure and makes 8 delightful eh7srvescent lithia-water drink.-Adv

INDUSTRIAL UNREST SPREADS IN ENGLAND
Workers Demand Shorter Hours and More Pay - Ad- miralty Committee to Hear Claims of Sailors.

London, Jan. 2O-The industrial un- rest prevalent throughout the coun- try is causing serious anxiety, not only to large employers of labor, but even to Conservative labor leaders.
 J. H. Thomas, general secretary of the Railwaymen's Union, yesterday warned a meeting of postal workers who were demanding q 42 hour week, more holidays and curtailment of night work that the industrial and economic position of the country gives cause for alarm
 The demands of the miners have been embodied in the resolutions of the Southport Miners Federation, who, Wednesday asked that the Gov ernment demobilize all miners in the Army and that wages other than war wages be advanced 30 per cent It is estimated that 30 per cent increase in wages would send the price 5. coal up at least $1 ton
 ShipbuiIders on the Clyde and in other centers are agitating for a 40 hour week with daily wages of fl. Ship workers in Belfast threaten to throw down their tools at the end of the month unless they are granted a A hour week.
 Carpenters throughout the United Kf1Rdom are asking for a AT hour week. @@1~siS.S
 Iron molders, who recently were granted Al hours, are threatening to strike unless this is lowered to IA hours.
 Dock 1aborers demand A hours for day workers and 41 hours for night workers They are also agitated over the shortage and poor quality of beer s.ld during the week there has been much stacking, particularly at Liver pool, from this cause There has been a temporary shortage of beer at some shipping points, due to strike o1 brewery employees, who complain of long hours.
 All these unions are strong numert' cally and well organized. From the - tone of speeches at their meetings they apparently are prepared to gc to extremes in their efforts to have their demands granted.
 There also have been minor laboI troubles. The sailing of the 1inel Adriatic for New York with a full lis of American passengers has been de 7ayed several days, and there is ye no indication of a settlement.

ICE BREAKS AND
 BROTHERS DROWN

New Haven, Jan. 20-While sliding on the thin ice on Mill river, near Beers mill in Centerville, yesterday afternoon. Itallo and Everitt Malvol- u, aged six and seven years old, re- spectively. of Whitney avenue, Center vile. broke through, plunged into the water and were drowned before as sistance could reach them. The life less bodies of the children were drag ged from the icy water about an hour after.

EMPEROR WILLIAM
 NOT POPULAR.

Corfu, Jan. 20-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-If William Hohenzollern, the former German Emperor, should try to spend the remnant of his career on the Island of Corfu, as some recent reports in- dicated, he would not be received by the natives with any great show of hospitality or cordiality. The villa here which he last occupied in the summer of 1914 and which he owned. is now used as a military hospital md floats the French flag. Even the es- pecially built dock on which he was accustomed to land is now used for military purposes.
 The Greek and Serbian population, many of whom are refugees, realize well the misery and suffering that Hohenzollern caused the world and are in no mood to receive him even as temporary visitor.
 "Achillion Palace" his villa, stands high up on the rocky coast of Corfu amid wealth of cypress trees and overlooks the picturesque Ionian Sea. The snow-capped mountains Of Albania are only a short distance away. The villa has been occupied lately by a number of disabled Allied soldiers, including an American sail or from Brooklyn. When the Asso- ciated Press correspondent visited 1t the other day the funeral of a United States Naval officer, Ensign Young of Detroit, Michigan, who died of pneu- monia contracted while on duty, was being held just outside the villa gates and the simple casket, draped with the Stars and Stripes, was being low cred in it's resting place on the sun- lit side of the sloping mountain.
