SKIN DISEASES
Overcome by the Wonderful Blood Purifying Properties of Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS.
A person suffering from eruptions of the skin has much to endure. It is not merely the discomfiture and irritation and painful sensation, but life is made miserable by depression of spirits. The liver is torpid and the kidneys are partially inoperative, and you feel languid and weak. The disease is in the blood, and when the system is not cleansed through the usual channels, Nature asserts berself, and forces portions of the impurities through the skin in the form of Pimples, Boils and Blotches. External remedics-powders, ointments, lotions-only alleviate; they do not get at the cause, Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills get at the cause by removing the disease from the Blood. They cleanse the system by stimulating the Liver and strengthening the Kidneys, which fliter the Blood and throw off the impure matter through the regular channels,

DE. DILLON'S OPINIONS
Under the title Shall we wait and sco further a remarkably outspoken article on the position of the Allies in the war is contributed to the rightly Review by Dr. E. J. Dillon, ne bief: Correspondent of the Daily Alegraph, who proved his foresight by predicting early last year that Bulgaria puid join the Germans.
Dr. Dillon's opinions are histown, re- marks a London daily of May 12th, but they are set forth with his usūți vigour aud knowledge in the extracts thich wo print below. He says:
There is probably no people if Europe more easily deluded than the Batish nor any that contents itself more readily with flinny excuses for the blinders of its chosen leaders. The bulk of the Bei- tish people are still patient, trudful, and of good cheer. Notwithstanding the most sinister deterrents they dill seem willing to ge ou “playing the unme,” und follow their leuder even though he prove a pied piger hurrying thêu to the abyer,

It is the English whose ture has now 2014 to bear the brunt of the war and supply men as well as money. In words their pitch is high and strenuous, but, in dreus it is fittul and low.

The war is still being waged or our Allies ferritory. The Central Empires (Germany and Austria) are immune from the hardships of foreign invasion, The discomforts which the blockade is inflict- ing on them are as nothing compared with these. Belgium is German. "The richest departments of France are Ger- man. Berbia and Montenegro av Ger- man. The mineral wealth, the great metallurgical works and factories and artisans of all these countries have been lost to the Allies and this loss has been doubled by their employ ment against us. And as we have not contrised to keeps so we have failed to reover there. Nay, we are still loging grund..
STRONG BLOWS NOT SPARCHES.
This war will not be terminated by 'sperenica", ahane, victory, but by freig blows on the battletislas. And, it is tor the purpose of having them deals from the plenitude of the Empire's power that a Mar-waging Ministry should take the place of the well-incaning master of logical fence who we Jod the nation to the verge of rain.
The Germans are still strong, much stronger than is commonly assumed. The story of the melting away of their re serves to 700,000 is a puerile fabrication. They claim that they and their Austrian ally are turning out more high explosives a week then the Allies and the United States combined. For they have no -slackers, no conscientious objectors, but only selfless patriots and a Government which compels the few unwilling to du their duty.
.
It is these qualities and the perfect organisation based upon them that en able the Central Empires to turn out 460,000 shella a day. The total of our output is wisely kept secret.
We are not winning this war. To con vey any other impression to the public would be cruel and unpatriotic What is more, we cannot and shall not win it unless we change our system and its champions and alter our course at once. The crucial question is whether, before it is too late, the nation will displace the leaders who are wasting instead of utilising its resources in men, munitions, and money.

MR. BALFOUR'S HINT OF CHANGES.
Something in the letter Mr. Balfour to the Mayors of Lowestoft and Yarmouth will be not a little disquieting to students of naval war, writes the naval correspon-
ent of The Times. The First Lord appeara Gentlemen of the Council of the to adumbrate a reversal of that policy of offonsive defence which has been follow- Empire and of the Dung

The frontiers of England are bodies of which you, gentlemen, are the coasts of the enemy." Only once did menihers, and I consider it a privilege our rulers voluntarily adopt an attitude that. I am enabled to meet you hereof passive resistance as an exchange for to-day. My pleasure in doing so is
one of active, resolete opposition, and much enhanced by the opportunity thus given me to convey to you, and through then the Hollander came up the Medway you to the great Russian Empire, the and destroyed the ships off Chatham heartfelt desire of myself and of my people that the relations of our two countries should become even closer and more intimate. To-day we are pursa ing a common ain in the brotherhood of arnis. May we remain firmly and lastingly united when we have tagether attained the vietorics for which our armed forces are now so valiantly fighting.
I can assure you, gentlemen, that the whole nation has followed with the Keenest interest and the deepest admira tion the marvellous feats of arms performed by the gallant Russian troops throughout this war and the brilliant achievements which, jointly with the Russian naval forces, They have recently accomplished, in the face of formidable difficulties, in the Ottoman Asitic provinces of the Empire.
Con
I have conveyed on various occasions to ay dear cousin and Ally, the Em- peror, your august Sovereign, my warm congratulations on the victories of his armis, and I do not desire to let. this opportunity pass by without per- sonally expressing to you my hearty acknowledgment of the eminent services rendered to the common cause by Rus sian skill, courage, and endurance.
NAVAL ACHIEVEMENTS.
The Armies of our two countries are engaged in felds widely distant, but I rejoice to think that my gallant sai ors have been able to render services in concert with their Russian comrades, and that in other ways my country has gladly given what I believe to be useful and effective help.
The consolation which Mr. Balfour offers to those who have suffered, and those who fear they may still suffor, from raids such as that which took place on the East Coast on April 25th is of doubtful character These good folk will hardly be made less apprehensive for the safety of their lives and goods by being told that the raiders incur a serious risk when pay- ing these visits, or that the bombardment of their towns offers no military advantage to the enemy. The Germans do not undertake enterprises of this nature save for some definite purpose, to which in all probability the destruction of private property and non-combatants bears mere- ly an indirect relation. The date of the fast raid was fixed, it is likely enough, in connection with the Irish rising, but the military object of these adventures is to bring about a redistribution' of our naval forces which shall be to the advant- age of the wily and unscrupulons foe.
GENERAL NAVAL POLICY, After the attack made on Scarborough and the Hartlepools in December, 1914, the Admiralty issued a statement in which it was pointed out that although these raids may cause loss of life among tho civil population and damage to private property, they must not in any circum- stances be allowed to modify the general naval policy which is being pursued." The soundness, sense, and strength of this line of action were deservedly acclaimed by the whole nation at the time. Those who had clamoured for some local pro-
tection, and others who had asked "What is the Navy doing?" wère sileno. d. I trust, gentlemen, that during your visit to this country you will be able. The satisfactory nature of the disposi to assure yourselves of the whole tions made by the Commander-in-Chief, hearted vigour with which my whole and of the policy thus expressed by the Empire is performing its part in this Admiralty, was fully justified later on. simperious war, and its determination The enemy, undeterred by the perils in- to make every naerify in furtherancevolved in the undertaking, attempted to

I would also wish to express my sin cere hope that the two countries, with their great resources and their immense possibilities, will understand that it is for the benefit of both to establish close intercourse. Every nation can learn from another and give to another; the better they know each other, the more true that becomes, and I earnestly hope that our two countries will give
Cam of their best to each other munity of interests in this respect will go far to strengthen the bonds which at present unite the two nations.
Mr. Balfour's reply to the expostula- tions of the citizens of Lowestoft an1 Yarmouth is, in effect, that they may expect comparative immunity from raids in future owing to alterations which are being mad in the distributions of our naval forces. The underlying suggestion is that as no repetition of these raids was expected no adequate preparations had been made to meet them; that now, however, a recurrence has taken place certain movements are under way for the purpose of affording protection to this part of the coast In effect, that the general naval policy is in process of change, certain modifications having been imposed upon the Admiralty by the It is true that the action of the enemy.

I wish you, gentlemen, a pleasant stay in this country, and 1 trust you will carry away with you a happy re collection of your visit to these shores. M. Protopopoff replied as follows:- On behalf of the Legislative Chambers of Bassin I beg to thnak your Majesty country must be glad to have.

A WAR CABINET.
An acquaintance of mine sets down the loss of commercial shipping since the beginning of this struggle at over 2,000,000 tons. Our losses continng with a tendency to increase rather than diminish. Our commercial fleet is being whittled at both ends by the enemy an the one side and by ourselves and our Allies on the other. It has now become possible to determine how long we can tand the strain of this process, which is intensified by the further trouble that he submarines are not only reducing our tonnage below our abnormal require nents but are rendering it occasionally impossible for us to utilise even the trans
porta available.
