PERSlA'S BELT OF DESOLATION
Legend Ascribes Desert to Divine
Punishment Visited on King Who

a. broad barrier of sand, lies district
called Khar. which was once fertile,

country was under the destination of
a Persian colony. Close by 1t are the
remains of an important irr' cation syS-

Persian origin, the main point Of in

on a group Of three great reservoirs

A similar phenomenon exists in

where there are no feweH than seven
"bOttomless" pools of varying sizes,
among which is fair-s,zed lake. the
Mother of the Mountd1n," which is
the largest sheet of wEter known to

quarters of mile in length by a quar-

day the center Of mighty kingdom.
There, according to a legend, once

Acts on the Liver,
Regulates Kidneys,
Purifies the Blood

| The liver Is the largest and most i'm
portant organ in the body, and when the
liver refuses to act, 1t causes constipa.
ton, biliousness, headaches, indigestion
gas, sour stomach, bad breath, dysentery
diarrhoea, pains in the back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on right
side. These symptoms lead to colds, In
f1uenza or other serious troubles unless
corrected Immediately.
An inactive liver places an extra bur-
den on the kidneys, which overtaxes
them and causes the blood to absorb and
carry INTO the system the impurities that
the liver and kidneys have failed to elm
mate.
When you treat the liver alone, you
treat only third of your trouble, and
that 10 why you have to take purgatives
every few nights Calomel or other ordi-
nary laxatives do not go far enough. If
you would treat your kidneys and blood
while treating the liver, you would put
your entire system in order and frequent
purgattves would then be unnecessary.

FRENCH AND BRITISH
 NOTE MADE PUBLIC

Washington, March 5.-The text of the note from the French and British premiers on the Adriatic situation, to which President Wilson's reply was delivered in London today, was made public tonight by the state depart nent. It conforms closely to the sum- mary cabled from London February 27, and emphasizesc the importance at tached by the premiers to the fact that MT. Wilson had previously expressed his willingness" to accept a settlement arrived at by direct negotiations be- tween Italy and Jugoslavia. N
 It has been assumed here that the presidents's reply will be found on publication to deal mainly with the invitation of the premiers that he join them in formally proposing such nego- tiations to the Italian and Jugo- Slav governments. No intimation of his answer, however, ass been given out and owing b 1ale fact that it was nec- essary for the presidents most recent note to reach Premier Milelrand and in France, it will not be made public until Monday.
 The premiers' note after reiterating that they nave never had the inten- | ton of making dennite settlement of | the question = the. premiers said they | the views of the -AmericaTls govern ment, adds that the further eXpla- nations of the views" contained in the i presidents memorandum, is for them "a matter of very great interest and importance.
 All the mere so." the note con- 1 tinues, since it shows that the United States government do not wish to dis l interest themselves from the general question of peace"
 AL this point comes the statement | that absence of an American repre- sentative from their deliberations had proved "an almost insurmountable | obstacles to successful adjustment.
 In e&RrRsing agreement that direct negotiations between those people would be the ideal way of settling the question: the premiersd said the. were ready to withdraw, their settle
 ment proposals of December g anC January 20.
 In accord;1ce with this feeling President Wilson was invited to joil
 the pre = CTS in proposing that tn
 slate be wiped clean of all previou
 settlement roposals and that Italy am Jugo Slavia negotiate by mutua
 agreement" on that basis.

ANOTHER FAILURE TO
 RATlFY PEACE TREATY

Washington, March 5.-With anoth- Ter failure to ratify the peace treaty democratic senators decid- <ed today to seek personal consultation with President Wilson before the e. ~cisive vote is taken. They wished to know definitely how far he would go
 in endorsing a compromise, and also
 a clear understanding of his views on
 the treaty as a campaign issue should
 another deadlock force it into politics.
 Some democrats were understood
 also to wish to know what measures the president would expect congress to
 take to relieve the country from a war status while a decision at the polls on the treaty was awaited.
 The move for such conference, ini- tiated long ago among some ele- ments of the party in the senate. took | definite form when Senator Hitchcock ! of Nebraska, the administration 1 leader, sent a letter to the White | House asking that the president talk ! over the senate situation with Senator !

Dutch Again Refuse
 to Deliver Kaiser
Dutch Government Declares
 Its Inability to Change Pre- vious Decisions - Promise to Guard Wilhelm Closely.

The Hague, March 5.--The Dutch government today for the second time refused to deliver the former German emperor to the allies for trial.
 In note addressed to David Lloyd George, the British premier, however, the government promised to take all necessary measures to minimize the liberty of Wilhelm and prevent him from endangering the worlds peace.
 While Doorn is not mentioned in the text of the note, it is understood that in conversations with the allied diplo- mats here the Dutch authorities have assured them that close guarding and censorship will be instituted when Wilhelm occupies his estate at that place.
 The Dutch government, while ap- preciating the motives actuating the allies, declares it's inability to change it's previous decisions. It says it is not forgetful of the inhur7an acts committed during the war. <t since Holland is not a party to the Yer sailles treaty, the queens government finds itself in different position from other powers with regard to thesa acts.
 Since the governments supreme duty is to respect the constitutional laws of the kingdom" the note con- tlnueS, it can only emphasize that ii would be committing an act contrary to law and justice and incompatible with the national honor If it consent ed to violate those laws by abolishins the rights accorded to a fugitive find ing himself on Dutch territory" Protesting that this attitude doei not put Holland outside the commu nity of nations, the note declares tha Holland ifs fully conscious of the du ties the presence ofthe former emper or lays on the Netherlands govern ment
 The note protests that, contrary t i the impression deriver from the alliet i note, the Dutch government from tn 1 beginning has observed the obligation entailed by these duties. The govern ment, the notes says, will continue t do so, being able in the exercise o Dutch sovereignty to take on the spo
