NEWS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK Japan Offers to Land Troops in Siberia If Allies Say the Word. EMBASSIES LEAVE PETROGRAD Traveling Through Bandit-Infested Si beria to Reach Safety Austria Cannot Break Away From Her i Alliance With Germany. t Japan has asked for permission to land troops In Siberia to prevent the vast quantities of munitions and oth er military stores nt Vladivostok and along the lines of the Siberian rail road from falling Into the hands of the Germans. It was feared that the Germans might attempt to force the bolshevlkl to deliver these stores to the Germans as a part of a peace agreement. Japan announced her wil lingness to undertake such 'an expe dition by herself or in connection with trvxps sent by other of the allied na tions. While all officials at Washington aro silent and disposed to minimise dis cussion of the subject It Is known that exchanges of opinion are going on with the object of a perfect understanding between Japan, the United States and the other co-belligerents which would moke the plari of Joint action wholly acceptable to all and thoroughly define Its extent and duration. Russian representatives at Washing ton oppose action by tho Japanese in Siberia, but the co-belligerents are thor oughly alarmed lest tho vast quantities of supplies piled up at Vladivostok, bought and paid for with American cash, should fall Into the hands of tho Germans. Criticism at home of the falluro of Japan to pluy a larger part In the war Is said to have been Influential In bring ing about tho negotiations. Our boys have had their first taste of the deadly Hun gas. Without warn ing of any kind gas shells began burst ing among the men of an American ar tillery regiment on tho western front, and more than 200 men were down be for they could put on gas masks. 'Eight men died within a few minutes and 200 were taken to hospitals where they suf fered every conceivable torture whllo ' the doctors worked over tjiem In an effort to get air Into their lungs. While .tho American troops in France have been supplied with gas equipment and- with gas sheila for the field guns they had never been used, American com manders feeling that they could not bring thcmsolves to so .vlolnto all evi dences of civilization by such a method of warfare. The gassing of American troops has, however, convinced our s commanders at tho front that they must fight tho Hun in his own way, brutal and inhuman though that way may be, and the Bodies will be given' a tasto of their own weapons. The strain between Austria and Ger many Is undoubtedly Increasing. Aus tria's refusal to again attack Russia In spite of Germany's renewal of the war against the bolshcvlkl has Increased tho tenseness of the situation existing be tween Jhe two governments, and It was reported that Germany had practically ordered the Austrian government to end troopB Into Russia, and that Aus tria had refused. Austria also refuses to continue the war against Roumanla so long as there Is a possibility of con cluding a peace arrangement with that nation. Poor Roumanla, cut off from every possible source of assistance from the outside, without munitions or adequate guns can seemingly do noth ing more than accept such peace terms as the nuns may offer. The most encouraging thing for the future of both Roumanla and Russia Is the statement roado for tho allied governments to the effect that any peace that mny be forced upon these two countries by tho Teutonic nations , will not bo considered as final, and par- jtlcularly so If such a pence Involves the (session of nny territory to the. nations of tho central powers. The allied na tions are committed to the terms of no annexations and no Indemnities for Germany or her cohorts. To permit Germany to seize the best provinces of Itusslu would menn simply preparing the Germnn peoplo for n repetition of their attack on the world's freedom In the future. Tho spcccli of Count von Hording. German Imperial chancellor, before the relchstng, In reply to President WJ1 son's most recent address before con gress regarding the wnr nlms of the United States, Is not regarded by lend ers In the United States or England as Increasing tho chance for peace. Count von Hcrtllng professed accept ance of the four principles of n demo cratic peace enunciated by President Wilson and disclaimed any Intention of conquest but theso protestations have not convjneed President Wilson and his ndvlscrs, It is said, that Ger many Is ready to forgo ambitions of conquest Other pnrts of tho chancel lor's speech are regarded as conclusive proof that Germany Intends retnlnlng control, In one form or another, of nearly all the foreign territory thnt she now occupies. Count, von Hertllng's reference to Belgium is far from satisfactory. While hinting thnt Germany does not contemplate annexing Belgium, the chancellor proposes to Impose condi tions which would restrict the freedom of action of the kingdom and place It at the mercy of the Teutonic empire. The entente point of view was 'ex pressed by one distinguished dlplomnt who declared that von Hertllng's speech has effectually closed the door to further pence talk. "Belgium Is a question of honor," he declared. "It cannot be discussed. .So long ns tho enemy refuses to do Justice to Belgium they cannot be expected to perform Justice In any other instances." While tho long-distnnco debate be tween the statesmen of the belligerent countries has been looked" upon with approval by leaders of thought in this country on the theory that no chance of effecting a peace on terms accept able to the allies should bo overlooked, t"th same time thero has been a feel ing that tho continued peace talk may have a harmful effect upon the public morale In the allied countries. There has been a determination In Washing ton, not to permit nny pence discus sions to delay war preparations for one minute, and the only harmful ef fect, It Is declared, would bo upon the spirit of the people. Whllo thero aro still conflicting opin ions ns to whether Germany will un dertake a real offensive on .the "west front this spring, reports coming In directly from Germany Indlcato that tho Gennan public 'Is being prepared for the tremendous losses that must result If such an offensive Is attempt ed. Dispatches from Stockholm de clare that the German ihigh' command has given tho executive committee of the relchstng the confidential Informa tion that the contemplated offenslvo will cost Germany a million men. For this staggering price, it Is declared, Gen eral von Hlnjleniurg and General von Ludendorf havo nbsolutely guaranteed success. Lcuders of tho majority In tho relchstng ore said to be reconciled to the offenslvo as tho only thing left for Germany to do, but thero Is a wide spread feeling of pity and horror that a million lives should bo sacrificed when victory, however grent It mny be, will not forco peace. Tho Germans, It Is declared, at tho most, expect that a big military victory will convlnco America and England thnt Germany la unbeatable and to make tho western world amendublo to suggestions for a penco conference. While tho allied conmanders realise that the expected German offensive will be a staggering blow to withstand, they are confident that tho western lino will hold, and that the Hun plnns will re sult In defeat for tho central powers. America will soon havo half a million men on tho western front, England has added nearly half a million more men to her vast army under General Halg, and while tho French army Is not nny larger In numbers than It was, It Is stronger In guns and munitions, and the determination of French troops to defent Germany Is stronger If possi ble, than It wns during tho long months of tho Verdun cntupnlgu. Both the English, the French and the Amcrlran forces occupy splendid po sitions throughout practically tho en tire line. Thoy arc In nearly nil canes on the high ground, and It Is these strong defensive positions against which Germany must tlnow her shock troops In massed battalions. The llrlco these troops will pay for even an attempt to break through will be ter rific, and In all probability more than the million men von lllndcnhurg has prophesied. It Is not likely that even the Iron discipline of tho Germnn nrmy will withstand such losses. Possibility of a disagreement be tween tho United States and Spain because of tlie refusnl of the latter country to supply certain war mate rials to General Pershing was remov ed by the signing of nn economic agree ment, under which General Pershing will get mules, army blankets and oth er materials from Spain In return for cotton, oil and other commodities from the United States. Success of these negotiations was welcomed by officials In Washington as ability to buy sup plies In Spain will snvo ship 'tonnnge and enable General Pershing to build up his reserve stores more rapidly. Tno United States was able to bring pres sure tobcar upon Spain by refusing fuel to Spanish steamers In American ports. The German Invasion of Russia mysteriously slowed up and on March first it was reported from London that tho forward movement of the Hunt had been stopped on orders from Ber lin. At the same time reports from Petrograd were to tho effect that the bolshevlkl were preparing to make the best possible defense of that city If It was attacked. On February 28 It was reported from Petrograd that the allied ambassadors had left tho Russian capital for Si beria. It Is unlikely that they will be able to reach tho Pacific coast at Vladivostok In less than close to three weeks, and the probabilities are that they will be seriously molested by the mobs of armed bandits thnt are roam ing tho country from the Urnl moun tains to beyond Lake Baikal. The bol shcvlkl havo prnctlcnlly no control of any kind beyond the Ural mountains, though it claims to have suppressed the so-called Siberian republic. Every report received from Austria Indicates thnt that country would willingly seek peace on nny fairly rea sonable basis offered by the allies, if It wore possible for her to do so, but she Is so dominated by German influ ence that it Is hardly possible for her to brenk away. The hold of Germany is maintained through the Austrian army which has been very largely Ger manized since tho war began. So It Is believed that Austria will havo to remain In her unholy partner ship desplto her wnr weariness. She has lost 8,500,000 men, her food situ ation Is desperate, and the future, even If Germany could win, Is dark for her, for a greater Germany would only mean a more Impotent Austria, but she cannot break nwny. Sho must continue In tho war under pnln of being stnmped on by the nntlon that has her In Its power. That Is how our allies regard the Austrian situation, nnd In the ex planation of their lukowarmncss toward tho Amerlenn effort to widen tho rift between the kntser nnd Em peror Carl. The German socialists have not taken kindly to tho German government's attitude toward President Wilson's last penco message. During tho de bate In tho reichstag on. von Uertllng'a speech Phlllpp Scheldemann, socialist, took tho emperor to task for his reply to the address of the burgomaster at Hamburg, In which tho emperor said: "Wo desire to live in friendship with neighboring people, but victory for tho Germnn arms must first be rec ognized." "Tljo imperial chancellor frankly stated yesterday that ho accepted President Wilson's four principles," said Scheldemann, 'This declaration Is all the moro Important when one considers that President , Wilson em phasized that his principles wcro ac cepted everywhere except by the Ger man military and annexationist party, Well, this party, fortunately, Is In this country no longer of decisive linpor-tnnce."

MM TROUBLE NOT EASILY RECOGNIZED Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected An examining physician for one of the prominent lifo insurance companies, in an interview of tho subject, made the as tonishing statement that ono reason why o many applicants for insurance are re jected is because kidney trouble is sq com mon to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. ,. Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. We find that Swamp-Root is strictly aa herbal compound and we would ad vise our readers who feel in need of such a remedy to give it a trial.
