 In a speech of welcome to the peo- pie from Tsingtau. Admiral Taegert said although Germany had been beaten in the Far East, seed had been sown there which would restore the honor of Germany's name.
 Admiral Meyer-Waldeck. according to an agency report, replied that vince the end of the war a strong revulsion of feeling in favor of Germany had set in in Japan where there was much indignation at the Entente's interpre- tation of the peace treaty. Japan had great faith in Germany's future, he added and able diplomacy would doubtless succeed in re-establishing the former friendly relations between the two countries.
 The Japanese general staff, con- tinued Meyer -Waldeck, believed to the end that Germany would win the war.

Neuritis is the inflammation of
nerve or group of nerves and its
principal symptom is pain, Some
times the pain is sharp and boring,
sometimes 1t is shooting and in some
cases there is anumbness Of the Affect

The disease is an evidence Of gen
eral condition, Of debility. When the
blood becomes thin and weak it can
not carry sufficient nourishment to
the nerves, The tonic treatment is
effective in cases Of neufitis and many
other forms of nervous trouble.

MINNEsorA RESULTS.

Attention has been givsn this week to the results of the primary held in the state of Minnesota for two reasons The first was because of the fight that was being made by the non partisan league to get its tavorites nominated, and the second was the contest wnged against Congressman Volstead whose name the act enforcing prohibition bears.
 The non partisan league is as strong in Minnesota as in any of the states in that part of the country and it made a hard fight for control, but according to the figures given out 1t appears to have lost in it's effort to get it's candidate for governor named.
 Tie situation was different regarding Congre ssrnan Volstead, who, because of the part which he has played in prohibi- ton legislation had naturally aroused the opposition of the wet forces. To have kim defeated for renonnination appears therefore on the surface to be victory for the vets, a demonstration by the people of his own district against his representation and therefore grounds for attributing the fact 10 his part in re- stricting alcohol in beverages tc one-hait of one per cent
 Had it been fact that his successful opponent was vet advocate such might have been readily claimed and been ac. cepted without question, but it doesn't appear that such is the case for the nom inee appears to be minister and a pro hibitionist. Thus the anti prohibitionist. do rot seem to have gained much by tn. shift and it seems probable that the de feat of Congressman Volstead in the pri mary can be attributed to the fact tha his opponent had the endorsement of tht non-partisan league which gave hin strength which the congressman was un able to overcome. From the attitude 0 the congressman and the one who seem likely to succeed him the sentiment o the district is apparently with the dry but the work of VoIstead in that direc | tion does not seem to have been sufficien to get him a return ticket

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Strand Theatre Controversy

Mr. Editor: The chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of the Musicians union is to be commended for having made perfectly clear several things in the Strand theatre controversy over the at- tempt of Mr. Davidson to secure an- other leader for his orchestra. For hay ing made it perfectly clear that the Mu- sicians' union Is a close corporation" that aims to keep Norwich musicians on their jobs; for having made it clear that the Musicians union is willing to abide by the decision of any judge of a mans musical ability as long as they can ap- point the judge; for having made 1t clear that the union does not consider the two weeks notice clause in the con- tract with theatre owners binding; for having made it clear that Norwich the ater owners must in future be careful to let no word drop concerning a nlusi- cians' ability if they find he cannot fill the bill. Evasion and trumped up ex- cuses must be dealt with and a man must not be told the truth.
 The musicians union profess to be supporting Mir. Benson because they are his friends. Had they been his worst enemies, they could have devised no bet ter echeme to blast his reputation be- fore the public and at the same time give labor unionism in Norwich the hlackest eye it has ever received.
 Meanwhile who suffers? Mir. Benson crtainly Mr. Davidson just as surely ; the public, in the end, for the spur of competition is removed from the Norwich theatrical field.
 Is the Norwich public so indifferent to seeing justice done that they want to see this condition continue?
