PRINCIPAL NEED SUPPLIES Prince Declares Allies Must Come to Rescue of All-Russian Forces' to Stop Spread of Bolshevism. NEW YORK. Jan. 7. Prince Can tacuzene, who married the daughter of President Grant, and who is In this country on a military mission for the Kolchak government of Rus sia, said today concerning the re ports that Kolchak had given up the command: "Whether or not Kolchak has been forced to resign active command of the all-Russian armies because of ill ness, the military situation is not seriously altered thereby. There are other men in the Russian army who will carry on the fighting as long as there is a foot of ground left. There is vast territory between the Rus sian front and the Pacific ocean and even If Irkutsk has fallen into the hands of the bolsheviki.- which I my self find hard to believe, the all Russian army will carry on. "The Kolchak armies have the men and they have many and excellent of ficers. What they need is supplies. They nave no shoes, no clothes, very little ammunition, and very little food. If the allies wish to stop the spread of bolshevism throughout the world, they must come to the rescue of Kolchak and Denikine. Semenoff is a Cossack. He Is an honest and strong man. I do not believe that he is playing into the hands of the Jap anese as people in America are in clined to believe. He Is a Russian and a patriot. His methods are ruth less, but his purpose is to fight the bolsheviki and save the world from their clutches. "The Kolchak armies are fighting on the defensive. Until they are giv en supplies by the allies, they will not be able to take the offensive. Their great contribution to the peace of the world at present Is that they are preventing the spread of bolshe vism into the orient. "The bolsheviki in Russia have failed. They know that they have failed. It is only a matter of time before the peasants, who are disillu sioned and bitter, uprise once more and annihilate the bolsheviki gov ernment. When that happens what will the leaders of bolshevism do? Russia is already looted and impover ished. There is little more to gain by holding the power in Russia. Their obvious aim is to find new worlds to conquer. There Is great opportunity for them among the ignorant masses of China and India. Once leaders and the propaganda of the bolsheviki have entered the swarming lands of the orient, there is no estimating the suffering and horror that will des cend upon the world. Nothing stands between the western nations and such a catastrophe except the thin wavering line of the Kolchak forces." SINN FEIN POST RAIDED Police and Soldiers Force Way Into Dublin Quarters.

A poison as dangerous as strychnin is manufactured within the body, called uric acid. When it accumulates and the kidneys fail to carry it off, we suffer from dull headache, sleeplessness, muscular pains, lumbago, or it may cause rheumatism or gout. Drink plenty of water between meals a pint of hot water one-half hour before meals is the best and take "Anuric." This was first dis covered by Doctor Pierce, of the Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N.
