May U The Unite States should either enforce the Monroe. doctrine or should formulate a new one broad enousrh to prevent Japanese com rrverclal Interests from securing: control of territory about Magdalena Bay. In tho opinion of Senators Lodge. Bacon nd other members of the foreJsn af fair committee of the Senate. In debate today, following; the reipt of President Taffs message tranx mlttlnK the correspondence covering' Jduiw activity In Western Mexico, leading membrra of the Senate tie lared the possession of so strategic 1 position, even by commercial Interests, Japanese In character, could not be per mitted without menacing the safety of the United States. Atfltade Will Re Declared. The Magdalena Bay papers were re ferred to the forelfcn affairs commit tee. which Is expected to consider the ra-e. with a view to outlining the at tltude of the United States on the sub Joel of the acquisition of land on this hemisphere by foreign nations or by thetr subjects. The President, in his messaire to the Senate, declared that there was no evi dence that the Imperial Japanese gov ernment was making any effort to ac quire land In Mexico. A full report from Secretary Knox accompanied the message. "There Is nothing on file In the De partnient of State." said the Secretary that has Justified any Inference that the Mexican government or the Imperi al Japanese government lias been oc cupied with any disposition of land near Magdalena Bay. by which the lat ter government would acquire land there for any purpose. In these circum stances the Department of State felt no necessity for further steps In the matter of any of these rumors, which are of a kind that all too frequently oc cur, to the detriment of public opinion In the respective countries, and are so lllen to the cordial relations of the governments concerned." Jaeaaeae Dealal Pealtlve. Knox said the Japanese Ambassador had Informed the department that he had apprised Ills government of the rumors in question, which had come to him through the public press, and sub-"t-ouently the Ambassador made, with 'tis government's authorization, an un reserved and categorical denial of the raraored purchase of land by the Japa nese government or by a Japanese com pany, characterizing the report as en tirely sensational and utterly without any foundation whatever, the Japanese government having never directly or In directly attempted or contemplated the acquisition of any land at .Magdalena luiy for any purpose. Secretary Knox said the rumors re garding a Japanese purchase evidently arose from efforts by an American syn dicate to dispose of certain lands near .Magdalena Bay. This American syndicate, according to the Department's Information, Rivet. In Sretary Knox' report, entered upon negotiations for a sale to a Japanese syndicate. Meantime an effort was made to ascertain the attitude of the American Government toward such a transaction. There was evidence. Sec retary Knox said, that the American syndicate felt or knew that Japanese capitalists would not care to complete the purchase without the approval of the Japanese government, and that the latter would not give its approval un less assured the transaction would be unobjectionable to the United States. Aaaerteaaa Wariei ef Owtrry. The Department of State made It plain to the American syndicate that such a transfer of lands would be in terpreted in some quarters In a manner to cause a great outcry, and that such a rrsult ""would be so obviously a cause f regret to tte (iovemment of the In I ted States that It would appear un necessary further to comment on the rii.xpoeltlon of the Federal Government In the premises." The American syndicate, it appears. t!ien sought to ascertain the attitude of tlie American tjovernment toward a 'mpany composed In part of Japanese Investors.

Secretary Knox declared: "The Department cannot assume there Is any project on foot calling for action .n the part of the United States." ftewaters ntarwsa Qa-eatlea. The President's message was In re sponse to a Senate resolution calling for Information regarding an alleged pur- r.ae of land at Magdalrna Kay by the Japanese Jovernroeiit or by a Japanese -ompany. The message precipitated a debate in the Senate. Senator Ilacon and Lodge concurred In the opinion that If the Monroe doctrine did not cover tbe situ ation a new doctrine covering It could be created. Explaining his reasons for calling for the correspondence. Lodge said It was to prevent the development of any en. harrasslng situation with reference to Mexico and Japan. He said .'; time Ai come when the United Statee should take the position that neither directly nor Indirectly could any foreign gov ernment obtain the control of land In this hemisphere that might constitute menace to the United States. Senator Rayner said that If Japan established a base of supplies or coal ing stations In Mexico i, would regard the act as a declaration of war.

Good kidneys drive a large amount of uric products out of the body every day. Uric acid is very Irritating:, and when in except., it attacks the weakest parts first. Nerve troubles are more common than In years gone by. Civilization has brought a heavier drain on the brain and nerves. The nervous system offers less resistance to attacks of uric acid. Nothing can cause more unhappinesa than fits of temper, "blues," the In clination to worry over trifles, to sus pect one's friends and to see the worst side of everything-. Nervousness Is so easily misunderstood that many a kid ney sufferer drifts to the very vergre of nervous collapse without realizing- the cause of it.
