ENGLAND TO DEMAND
STEAMER BAHIA BLANCA
OR EQUIVALENT IN CASH

Buenos Aires, Wednesday, Feb. -
james ". r. MacLeay, British
minister to Argentina, has informed
this government that Great Britain
has no objections to the sailing OF
the steamship Bahia Blanca for
New York under the Argentine flag
1t is learned. however. that England
reserves its rights as member Of
the Allied reparations commission
to have voice in the determine
ton OF that body as to the disposi-
ton of this ship, which was pur-
chased by Argentina from Germany
during the war.
Mr.. MacLeay informed the foreign
minister that, SO far as Great Brit
ain was concerned. there was no
intention to seize the ship en- route.
the whole matter being in the hands
of the Allied reparations commits
sion, which has not as Yet taken up
the subject The departure of the
Bahia Blanca, which has been de-
laped pending Mr.. MacLeays ar
rival, is now expected within the
next ten days.
AS dutQOTltdtINtI. Oulilneu mere.
the British governments position has
been that the Bahia Blanca is one
of the German ships which Germany
would have been obliged to surren-
der under the reparation clauses Of
the treaty if the vessel had not been
sold. 1t pointed out that if this boat
is excepted precedent would be es-
tablished for other German ships
similarly disposed Of. or which could
be sold. There is well-founded i'm
preston here that it is probable that
when the matter of disposition of tho
German ships is taken up by the
reparations commission that body
will call on Germany to produce the
Bahia Blanca and that when Ger
many informs the commission the
vessel is in the possession of Ar
eentina. demand will be made that,
Germany refund to the Allies the
price for which the Bahia Blanca was
sold. thus upholding the principle of
reparation.

How They Can
Be Prevented
Sleep Well-Eat Wisely-Ex-

Don't Worry.
KEEP AIR PASSAGES CLEAR
Infamed Air Passages Make
Ideal Breeding Grounds
for Flu Germs.
Flu This Year is MiIder

While We know very little more
about the du now than We did last
yea1-the germ itself has inever been
positively fdentif.ed-stiil most au-
thortt1es agree that the flu germs are
breathsd in. II the system Is in good
shape and the membrane or lining Of
the air passages is ia healthy condi-
tion-these germs are thrown OF.
A good plan is to melt little vick's
VapoRub in q spoon night and morn
ing, and inhale the vapors. also ap-
ply little up the nostriis several
times day. especially just before
being exposed to crowds.
Treat All Colds Promptly
Above all, keep free from colds, as
colds irritate the lining Of the air
passages and make them real breed
ing grounds for germs. Prompt use
Of Vick's vapoRub aids in preventing
colds. For head colds, sore throat Or
hoarseness. rub Vicks wei over the
throat and chest and cover with a
warm flannel cloth. For deep chest
colds. severe sore throat or bron-
chitis. hot wet towels should first be
applied to the throat, chest and back
between the shoulder blades to open
the pores. Then Vicks should be
rubbed in over the parts until the
skin is red-spread on thickly and
covered with two thickneeses Of hot
flannel cloths. Leave the clothing
loose around the neck, SO the vapors.
released by the body heat, may be
freely inhaled.
These vapors, inhaled with each
breath, carry the medication directly
to the lungs and air passages. At the
same time Vicks is absorbed through
and stimulates the skin, thus aiding
to relieve the congestion within.
Use Of External Treatment for Colds
Increasing
! Vick's VapoRub is the discovery of
a North Carolina druggist who found
how to combine in Salve form. the
standard time tested remedies,
Camphor - Menthol Eucalyptus
Thyme, etc.-so that when the salye
is applied to the body heat, these in
gradients are liberated in the form OF
vapors.
Vicks IL particularly recommended
for children's Group Or colds. since il
il externally applied and therefore
can be used freely and often withou.

The best evidence Of the value Of

verted to the use Of this outside
