DEMANDS.
.V.J
Frank Walsh representative of the
Jfrish Societies in
the United States
fias hit upon a scheme to get recog-
pition of Ireland's: claims before the
f 1
peace conference. iHe has simply de
manded that President Wilson cause
i . !
the peace conference to investigate
(the question. !.
! The demands of i Mr. Walsh remind
us of several demands which the Ger-
mans and others have made since -the
peace conference i has been in aes-
sion. but it is difficult to remember
many such demands which .have been
heeded by the conference or by Mr.
.Wilson. It appears to be easy to de-
diffleult to get what Is demanded. If
Mr. Walsh persists in his habit of de-
manding things the United. States of
America may demand that ho remain
in Ireland and transfer his citizen-
ship there. And the United States
could make good on such a demand.

timent accredited to him but he. did
not use the words chosen by Le Ala4

counter replies have been exchanged

treaty would be definitely signed or

it takes Some one better than; the
average American to measure up to

A Georgi.a Congressman has intro-
duced a bill providing for the payment
of federal pensions to Confederate ar-
my veterans and their dependent wid-
ows. He pointed out in support "of
his bill that these veterans have for
fifty years been marching to the treas-
ury and loyally paying . money from
which the pensions of their -victprl-l
ous brothers were paid and have loy-
ally and 'gallantly given their sons to
the defenso of the country as well.
It is said that both Democrats and Re-
publicans have promised to support
the bill. Democrats from : the Solid
South would hardly .consider doing
anything else
From this distance the plan of
London. England to bring New Zea-
land beef into competition with Amer-
ican beef appears to. be a one-sided
affair. The scheme is to import New
Zealand meats and sell it. In London
at a stipulated price; "then if the!
trust reduces prices England and New
Zealand must beat it on its own
ground." It looks like London Eng
land .is planning to get some- cheap
beef ; but where does New Zealand
come in in the division of profits?
A Smithsonian Institute professor

OFFICERS
SEE.W SIGHTS OF
TWO THOUSAND OF THEM AT-
TENDING SPECIAL XECTUIIES
IN UNIVERSITIES.
(By Associated Press)
LONDON June 7. Two thousand
young American military officers
who have been detached from their
commands in order that they may at-
tend lectures in the leading universi-
ties of the British Isles are broadening
their knowledge by seeing some of the
countless points of interest with which
thp country abounds.
London is their favorite Mhunting"
ground Westminister Abbey St.
Paul's. Cathedral the Houses of Par-
liament the Tower and Buckingham
Palace early claimed their attention.
They then turned to the haunts of
Dickens Jonnson and others whom
they looked upon as old friends.
Now that spring has come they are
extending their search to the London
suburbs and to other parts of the
country.
Yesterday numbers of the student
officers sought such places as Hamp-
ton Court and Kew Gardens famous
tlie world over for their varied and
beautiful foliage. Many of them are
engineers and with a thrifty thought
for the future slung their cameras
over their shoulders and prepared to
preserve for future reference such
bits of land scape gardening as
caught their individual fancies. But
in this they were disappointed for the
ancient but polite guardian at the
ICew gate temporarily collected the
cameras and told them Sunday pho-
tography was forbidden in Kew.
Journeys into Scotland and Ireland
interest many of the mend and they
return to London as a rule pleased
with the people and avIUi their treat-
ment pt them. The start Is usually
made from the Busy Euston station
Saturday afternoon and Tuesday night
usually finds them back in the city
ready for work.
A dozen or more spent a Sunday at
Killarney and. desiring to go through
the Gap of D mi Low. arranged with
their landlord for donkeys at 51.25
each for the journey of six "Irish"
miles. When they reached the Gap
they were hailed with delight by the
donkey boys who seeing they were
Americans and believing Americans
carried nothing but gold pieces in
their pockets put up the price of don-
keys to ?5. Thp officers after a
vain parley walked through the Gap.
Manchester. Birmingham Leeds and
Liverpool with their great manufac-
turing and shipping interests also
claim attention particularly from of-
ficers who are studying industrial and
commercial questions while the fish-
ing Industry of the North Sea ports is
attracting others. In this last howev-
er they admit the trips are much more
for pleasure than they are for profit.
The lectures will continue through
June and by that time some of the
most industrious travelers predict
they will know a good deal about Great
Britain and that they explain. Is why
they were sent here.

Better be Careful About Your
Kidneys
BY N. B. COOK M. D
Foods taken into tho stomach go through
various chemical changes and somo of
these changes arc poisons that must be
aiftctLout and disposed of. It is the duty
of the kidneys to do tins. When the kid-
neys do not fully perform their vital work
death may be only a few hours away.
Happily Nature has provided warning
alarms telling ncoplo when their kidneys
arc not well. These warnings come in the
form of dragging pains in the small oi tho

anil many other symptoms. All come
from the one cause of kidneys that are not
filtering tho poisons out of the system. To
overcome these troubles. Dr. Pierce of
Buffalo N. Y. compounded what ho calb
Anuric Tablets. No other kidney medi
cine is its equal in giving relief and re
establishing healthful work in the kidneys.
The treatment is very simple as you need
nothing except water when taking Anuric
Tablets a glass of water with each tablet.
This washes and flushes the kidnevs while
the medicine itself is dissolving the uric
acid poisons and driving them out.
Anuric Tablets arc made double strength
bo that they dissolve uric acid tho same as
hot water dissolves salt or sugar. Most
people need Anuric Tablets because most
peoplo have uric acid. Better get that
poison out of your body for safety's sake.
