LIMA, Peru, March 28.— -The poli
i tical unrest which manifested itself
on March 7 in the outbreak of serious
disturbances in various parts of Peru
is still strongly in evidence. President
Pardo yesterday declined to confer
with a committee of the civil party
and today Javier Pradoo, president of
the civil party, issued a manifesto
agaiust the present cabinet. The
cabinet, the manifesto declares, has
lost the confidence of the country
and by remaining in office can only
aggravate the situation and perhaps
cause serious disasters.
A recent issue of the Nenana Times
states that ‘‘Dad" Ingram was in that
city on his annual tour of the inte
rior.

MOUNT VERNON, Wash., March
28.—Clarence Kerns, the 16-year-old
son of County Superintendent Kerns
has left France where he was fighting
in the trenches with other American
soldiers, many of whom were killed
and wounded almost hourly, and is
now on his way to his happy home in
this county, with a stomachfull of
war and glory, and so glad to get
home that he "will do anything to get
away from war.”
A letter received yesterday by his
parents says that he intended to leave
Shorncllffe, England, the following
day when he would be discharged
from the service. Clarence thought
it would be great fun to serve in the
army, and with this view he enlisted
in Vancouver May 20 of last year and
arrived in England early last Septem
ber. A week in the trenches and he
had enough war. He straightway
sent the S. O. S. call to his parents
jin Washington entreating them io
“hurry and get me out; as I cannot
j stand it much longer and live.” His
j father took up the matter with the
i American ambassador in England and
j secured his release. Clarence is will
ing to be called a quitter if he can
only get his legs under the paternal
: table once more.

' SERUM FOR CURE
OF PNEUMONIA SUCCESS
;
~
1 NEW YORK, March 28.—Health
Commissioner Haven Emerson an
nounced last night that the depart
ment would supply for the treatment
of lobar pneumonia the serum treat
; ment which has been perfected by
the Rockefeller Institute of Medical
Research. The step, he said, might
prove to be the meas or lessening
materially the death rate from pneu
monia in New Y’ork City, which
amounts to 10,000 lives a year.
The health department now distri
butes antitoxin for the treatment of
tetanus, diptheria and meningitis.
The pneumonia serum will be made
j at the health department’s farm at
lOtisville, N. Y\, where the other ser
j urns distributed in New Y'ork City
ty the department are made, as well
i as tetanus serum for the use of the
1 army hospitals of Europe.
There are two general types of
pneumonia—bronchial and lobar.
Bronchial pneumonia attacks chil
dren and aged persons; lobar is the
acute kind and is rapid in its action.
The serum the health department will
make and distribute is for the treat
jment of type of lobar pneumonia,
which constitutes about 60 per cent
of all cases.

SHORTAGE OF FOOD
IS WORLD WIDE
ST. PAUL, Minn., March 28.—The
shortage of staple articles of food, isj
responsible for the present Mr!'

ducts.
“A food shortage exists over prac
tically the whole world. Many mil

from agricultural occupations and ir
respective of the size of the 1917

“In addition to the European wheat
shortage and the Russian supplies tied
up, Argentina. wh*ch in 1915 produc
ed 178,000,000 bushels of wheat,
now faces a complete crop failure.
