and. althouarh the reason was never for
malty expressed. It was generally
known that the Dutch shipowners
feared lest their ships should be de
stroyed by German submarines, even
thousrh on an errand of mercy, and
thouah not traversing any of the so
called 'danger iones. proclaimed by the
German srovernment.
"That this fear was not wholly un
justified has unhappily been shown by
the recent art of the German govern
ment in sinking; the Spsnish ship Sar

carrying a cargo of c;ratn for Switzer
land, and after the submarine com
mander had ascertained this fact by an
Inspection of the ship's papers. '

"In respect of Belgian relief, the
Dutch government expressed Its pres
ent Inability to comply with the agree

government had given Holland to
understand that It would forcibly pre
vent the departure from Holland of the
corresponding ships, which, under the
agreement, were to leave colntidcntly

"Nearly two months have elapsed

general agreement has lain even longer

Meanwhile, the G rman threats have
grown more violent, with a view to pre
tenting any permanent agreement and
of forcing Holland to violate any tem
porary agreement.

quoted as declaring that the Russian

that the city of Portland will also prob
ably have to present some such a bill
to Its people to keep pace with the in

caused by the sharp increase in gen

The question of the necessity of a
deficiency appropriation was first pre
sented by Governor Withycombe, who
called attention to the need arising and
to the present status of the militia fund.

people of Portland made no protest
against the granting of 175,000 a year
extra for police protection and the peo
ple of the state generally would be
unite aa liberal.
Senator' Moser presented the motion
providing for the deficiency appropria
tion of liiO.OPO after a report was re
ceived from Colonel Williams that such
an. amount should be allowed. Senator
Wood moved to restrict it to 1150,000
and Treasurer Kay seconded his mo
tion. Senator Wood stated that if an
other $100,000 is needed the board
could be called hjtck and he would then
cheerfully vote for the needed balance.
Moser and) others called attention to
the fact that to secure efficient and ef
fective men It would be necessary that
tliey understand that the employment
is not for a brief period only and for
that reason he urged the passage of
the appropriation for tho full amount.
His stand was warmly seconded by
Mayor Baker, who spoke from the side
lines. Wood and Kay were voted down
by the other five members of th hoard,
who then proceeded to paaa the original
motion.
PpecJal ftessflosi aars:ste1.
In the course of the meeting some
discussion arose as to calling a spe
cial session of the Legislature so that
a proposed constitutional amendment
might be put on the .ballot at a special
election to be held in conjunction. with
the May prlmariea for the purpose of
amending the per cent limitation
amendment to allow a greater expendi
ture of money for war emergencies, or
for other purposes during emergencies
like the present. A quietus was placed
on thia by a statement of Oovernor
Withycombe that he waa opposed to
calling a special session, since if such
an amendment were to be proposed it
could be proposed at the November
election, and the Legislature would be
powerless to make any appropriations
for which money could be- obtained If
it were called at this time.
Mr. Stanfleld. In voting for the $250.
000 appropriation, did so with the un
derstanding that the money would not
be expended except as emergency arises
snd as it is needed. He asked Governor
Withycombe if the military suthorltles

LOVPON". March 20. Uprisings on
the part of natives In Beluchistan re
cently resulted in fighting: in which
many casualties were inflicted, the
India office announce. The natives
attacked British posts and were re
pulsed completely. Tunitlve measures
are being undertaken.
The official statement follows:
"The India office announces that the
attitude of the Maris in Beluchistan,
which has been unsatisfactory for some
time, recently, culminated in a series
of outrages. Aided in some cases by
Khotrans they cut telegraph wires,
fired on trains and destroyed govern
ment property in several Localities in
and adjacent to their tribal area. They
also organized and carried out attacks
in force on our posts at Gumbaz and i
Fort Munro, where they were com
pletely repulsed. They suffered many
casualties.
"Their attitude, however. Is still de
fiant. Punitive measures are being
undertaken against them. Our air
planes on two occasions recently
bombed tribal concentrations with effect."
Beluchistan is situated on the Ara
bian sea, bounded on the west by Per
sia and the north by Afghanistan. In
the main it occupies the position of

ur destroyers and scout ships are waiting; for the sudden attack
or the deadly torpedo the watch on the Atlantic is on the lookont
for the first indication of hidden danger it 's a fight for life. For
those leading a quiet life at home it is often the unexpected that-happens.
It may he that we are mysteriously attacked hy pain in our
back or limbs, lumbago, "neuralgic" pains shooting anywhere. Back
ache of any kind is often caused by kidney disorders, which
means that the kidneys are not working properly. Poisonous matter
and uric acid accumulate within the body in great abundance, over
working the sick kidneys; hence the congestion of blood causes back
ache in the same manner as a similar congestion in the head causes
headache. Perhaps you become nervous, despondent, sick, feverish,
irritable, have spots appearing before the eyes, bags under the lids,
and lack of ambition to do things. The latest and most effective means
of overcoming such trouble, is to eat sparingly of meat, drink plenty
of water between meals, and take a single An-uric Tablet before each
meal for a while, or until recovered.
Simply ask your favorite druggist for Anurie Tablets (double
strength). If you have lumbago, rheumatism, gout, dropsy, - begin
immediately with this newest discovery of Dr. Pierce, ,who is Chief
Medical Director of Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y. Send 10c for
trial pkg. All druggists sell large package for sixty cents.
Dr. Pierce's Pellets regulate and invigorate stomach, liver and
bowels. Compound of May-apple, aloes and jalap. Keep the body clean j
inside as well as outside.

Those subject to sick headache, toil-

obtain a quarter pound of limestone

demonstrate the quick and remarkable
change in both health and appearance,
awaiting those who practice internal
sanitation. Adv.
