ADMIRAL BENSON'S

INDISCRETION.

FORCEFUL LANGUAGE.

Giving evidence before the S Senate Committee of Inquiry, Rear- Admiral Benson admitted the sub stantial truth of the charges brought against him by Rear-Admiral Sims.

I had very serious doubts," he sid. "as to the Allies whipping Ger- many." The chairman, Mr. Hale, asked whether he ever had any serious doubt as to which side the United States would fight on, to which Admiral Benson replied, “There were certain things coming up all the time. Our ships were being held up, and there were other circumstances which might have drawn us into the conflict."

'Did you ever have any idea that we could possibly fight against the Allies and on the side of Germany?" persisted the chairman. "No, sir." was the answer.

Asked about his alleged instruc tions to Admiral Sims not to let the British "pull. wool över his eyes." Admiral Benton answered that he was not prepared to deny these exact words. He made, no note of them at the time. The United Stares was then neutral, and the situation was delicate..

"I probably used very forceful language," he explained, "to impress on Admiral Sims the fact that his feelings towards the Bri.ish must not lead him into indiscretions."

But," asked the chairman, "how could you at that time say that we would as soon fight the British as the Germans?"

**I probably used fgares of speech," said the Admiral, to impress the delicacy of the situation." The Chairman pointed out that, accor ding to Admiral Sims, the witness made these statements, or simila ones, to him in London some! time later. "When I went to Lon- don later, in 1917," was the reply "there was feeling on this side that, through some influence or other, Admiral Sins was being persuaded to give too much attention to British shipping, and using our destroyers for that purpose, instead of for our own ships. I advised him to be more careful for his own sake, and the sake of his country.

"This matter," continued the wit- ness,

has done great injustice and caused me untold embarrassment. I have many dear friends in England, and the British Government has de- corated me for services in the war,

but this discussion, makes it practi cally impossible for me ever to visit that country again.”

About Admiral Berson there is really no mystery. He is a highly respectable, old-fashioned naval officer, very devoutly Catholic and intensely Irish on religious, grounds, whose views of the war were exactly in line with those attributed to the

CONDEMNED MURDERER.

·A STRANGE,RIQUIST.

Walter Levandowski, who was under a death sentence in the New York States prison. petitioned the warden to advance his execution by one day, in order that he might die on his twenty-sixth birthday, May 26. The warden replied that with the best will in the world he could not oblige Levandowski. There had not been a single booking for May 26, but on the following day six prisoners were due for electrocution, and the State officials preferred executions in groups ss. against an individual execution." Levandowski replied to the warden that be must make the best of a bad job, but he had set his heart upon his birthday as the appro- priate date for "saying "farewell to the world for which, in present con- ditions, he had less and less inclina: tion."..

WHEN BABY'S TEETH ARE COMING THROUGH Baby's Own Tablets Save Pain and Tests.

Teathing time not only is a trying period to baby but also means much worry to motbo

The lit le one's gams become swollen and tender; he is cross: does not sleep well; is troubled with constipation, colic or diarrhoes and sometimes even conval- Lions seiz⚫ him.

During this period nothing can equal the use of Raby's Own Tablets, the Canadian children's remedy. They regalate the bowels and sto kach, and make the teething easy that the mother scarcely realizes baby is getting his teeth.

My experience has been that Baby's Own Tablete a lay the fever caused by teething and give baby hexluby sleep. My baby has always been healthy ex- cept for the fever and restlessness ac companying toething and an occasional cold, but the Tablets hire proved o beneficial in these cases that I would- not be without them, rites Mr. E. &

of Peachland, British Colombia Long,

These Tablets are equally healthful and harmless to the younger infant and the child of Eight yes & or mors, caring constipation, indigestion, colic, diarrhan, simple ferer and woring.

They are to be had from chemists,
