Chevalier W. E. L. C. Van Rap-
pard, the Netherlands minister, de-
nied a report that the Dutch govei-n-
ment is mobilizing its armies as a
result of an official investigation of
the sinking of the Dutch liner Tuban-
tia.
The dispatch announced that both
hoases of the Dutch parliament had
been summoned by telegraph to meet
in special session Sunday to consider
the sinking of the Tubantia.
"I have heard nothing about this
from my government and it seems to
me to be very improbable," said Mir
ister Van Rappard. "So far as I
know The Netherlands parliament has
never been called togetheron Sunday.
It is possible, but I do not believe it,
although I have received no advices
on the subject.
"When the investigation of the Tu-
banita disaster is completed a com
munication giving its results will be
sent to Germany, if it should be found
such action was warranted and Ger
many will be given an opportunity to
explain bow the Tubantia was sunk."
Asked if negotiations were in prog-
ress between the neutral powers look-
ing toward common action concern-
ing Germany's submarine warfare
and the planting of mines on the high
seas by England and the other bellig-
erent nations, Minister Van Rappard
said:
"We have never approached any
government and so far as I know no
government has approached ours
looking toward united action in this
matter. Holland can take care of her-
self."

drinking Wine of Cardui and a pro

in water is the same.

London,- April 1—One of the five
German Zeppelins which conducted a
three-pronged raid on London's sub
urbs and the eastern and northeastern
counties Friday night was destroyed
by British gunfire. At least one? of
the others is believed to have been hit.
Twenty-eight persons were killed and
forty-four injured by bombs dropped
from the raiding dirigibles. So far it
has been impossible to compute- the
j property damage, telegraph lines
being put out of commission in man
places by a storm. The raid lasted
five hours, the^ Zeppelins flying over
many towns without even attempting
to drop bombs.
The wrecked Zeppelin was the L-15.
It was struck in the stern by a sheJl
and immediately fell to a lower level
Slowly it continued to descend until
it fell into the Thames estuary Thi-
crew was captured and taken to
Chatham.
SENATORIAL PRIMARY
RULING 18 EXPLAINED
3Y ATTORNEY GENERAL
London, March 30 Before the end
of June the allied armies will strike
simultaneous blows on all fronts, de-
signed to bring the kaiser to his knees
and end the war before Chistmas.
This combined offensive, it was
held in London today, is the certain
result of the great war council of the
allies which closed at Paris. There
are persistent rumors that the Ger-
mans have used the long lull at Ver-
dun to shift troops for a blow at some
other sector of French front.
From every point of the compass the Mail Order Octopus is reach-
ing its myriad hands to grasp and grab and gobble the retail business
of your own town. Nothing that is grabbable and gobbleable escapes
the Mail Order clui<?h unless the people stand together against the
Octopus.
The Mail Order people ^want the unless you 'refuse to
t trade with them and systematically patronkc your home merchants
and manufacturers they will get your part of the earth and you will
have to get off it.
A word to the wise is a whole language.

Washington, April 1,—Henry Mor-
genthau is expected to resign as am-
bassador to Turkey within a few da3's
to undertake financial management of
President Wilson's campaign. Ru
mors that he would do so have been
denied only faintly here since his re-
turn from Constantinople several
weeks ago.
Mr. Morgenthau's efficient aid in
the last i;a,mpaign earned him the dip
iomatic (position.
A. I. ffilkus, a prominent attorney
of New York, will be named, it is said,
to succeed Mr. Alorgenthau.

Berlin, April 1—The struggle of the
Russiaas to break through the Ger-
| man northeast front continues, but so

Marshal von da burg. Because

been impossible even tp bury the dead
Russians who lie by the thousands
between the German and the Russian
trenches.
Figures sent from the front tell a
story of horror. One estimate is that
the first ten days of fighting cost the
Russians 80,000 men. It is said that
the Russians brought up 60 divisions
or more than 1,000,000 men to make
possible this^offensive. Another re
port declares that the Russian dead
alone total more gthang50,000. It is
impossible to grasp such figures, they
are greater than the totals of the
bloody winter campaign in the Cham-
pagne.
Though there is fighting on both
sides of Dunaberg (Dvinsk), the heav-
iest offensive seems to be centered at
Postary, which is the only point
where the Russians can bring up re-
serves of men and munitions by jail-
road, Geography also makes the
Russian offensive here easier.
So far, however, the Germans have
been beating off all attacks and they
insist that their losses have been
small compared with the Russian
casualties.
In order to make his meaning claar
relative to the ruling in regard to
holding a second senatorial primary,
Attorney General Looney Thursday
gave out the following stotement:
'Paul Waples, chairman of the
State democratic executive.committee,
is quoted as stating that he would
recommend to the executive committee
that a candidate for United States
Senator be-nominated by the conven-
tion when it meets for the nomination
of Governor and other state officers.
He is quoted as saying that this plan
follows the ruling of the attorney gen-
eral, which, he states, forbids the
holding of a second primary, or 'run-
off primary, in the senatorial race.
Mr. Waples has misunderstood
he ruling of the attorney general. No
such ruling was made and I do not
wish to be understood as indorsing
his suggestion that a candidate for
United States senator can be nomi-
nated by a convention and the pla n
provisions of our statute ignored ia
this manner. The attorney general's
department did rule that^the expensp>
.second primary could . -
nbt be paid out of public funds, but
if he will carefully read the opinion
of this department he will find that we
did hold that the expense for holding
both the first and second primary
could be provided in the respective
counties by the county democratic ex-
ecutive committees and if not thus
provided for the officers holding the
election, of course, would be expected
to serve without pay."

New York, April 1..—A warning to
purchasers of clothes that the sujts
they may add to their wardrobes this

the National Association of Clothiers,

officially merging the G. O. P. and
the bull moosers, have been given oi ,
Mr. McGregor's statement in part to
the Dallas meeting committee is:
"My understanding of the republi-
can situation in Texas is that the re-
pubican party is reunited and that
all, with the exception of a few ar-
dent admirers of the progressive notxi-
inee of 1912, are back in the republi-
can party as republicans and willing
and anxious to aid in the election of a
republican president in 1916. That
outside of the friction which may ex-
ist locally in some sections of the
state, due mainly to causes other than
the division of 1912, the best of feeling
exists."

Washington, April 3—The reply of
the allied governments to the protest
>f the United States on seizures of
mails was received by* the state de
partment Monday.
The allies defend their right to ar
rest and seize mer chandise s?nt as par-
cel post,| and to seize goods falsely
sent as first class mail. However,
they will refrain from seizing and con-
fiscating letters or dispatches.
The reply is considered a flat rejec-
tion of the demands made in the,
American note of protest of Jan. 4, |
J
1916. In this note the United States j
made "a formal and vigorous protest J
of these unwarranted interferences with !
inviolable mails."

London, March 31.-Noel Pember-
tm-Billing, formerly of the Royal
Naval Air service, who was elected to
the House of Commons recently on a
platform calling for improvement of
the country's aerial fighting forces,
said in the House of Commons today
that a series of Casualties, with a to-
tal of 150 dead, 150 wounded and 105
missing, was due to the sending up of
British aviators in aeroplanes which
were outclassed hopelessly by Ger-
man machines. He asserted that Ger-
man aeroplanes were immensely su-
perior to British machines, notwith-
standing the fact that within 20 miles
of London there could be obtained
