AMERICANS PREFE1 TO BA1LE IN OP[N Like Canadians, Uncle Sam's Boys Don't Take Much to Dig ging In. TEUTON QUICK TO BURROW American Soldier Remains Decidedly Lukewarm in Fancy for Shovel and Pick. American Training Camp in France, Aug. 24.-One of the greatest prob lems American officers have before them is impressing upon their min the absolute importance of learning the best ways of keeping under cover. The American soldier is not a nat ural "digger in." He is much like his Canadian brother in arms in that re spect for it is an ol saying on the British front that Canadians will (lie in the last ditch, but never dig it. It is the American spirit as it was that of the Canadians to upstake and tight, but the world war has long since passed that stage and now in the long wear and worry of a strug gle of attrition the best commander is the one who best conserves his men by keeping them under cover. One of the great reasons why the Germans are still in France and Bel gium is their wonderful facility for digging in. They have a perfect pas sion for it and an incentive as well for the Allied artillery never ceases to pound them day and night. Germans Quick to Burrow. The Gzrman belief that they can dig faster th-n a modern army can 'ad vance is ,n of the principles of their defensive tactics. Notwithstanding all that has been told along this line, notwithstanding the heroic efforts to arouse his enthusiasm over the pick and shovel, the American soldier has remained decidedly lukewarm. WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK BODIES Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches and Ills of Manning People. As one weak link weakens a chain, so may weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final breaking-down. Overwork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and gen erally when their activity is lessened; the whole body suffers. Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills frequently come, and there is an ever-increasing tendency to wards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's disease. When the kidneys fail there is no real holy for the suffer except kidney help. Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys. No need to take the statement of someone living far away as evidence.

The French Canadian and Aus tarlian soldiers all resent the idea of digging in and would not admit the necessity of doing so until Bitter losses taught them a dearly-bought lesson. It is purely a- matter of tem perament and there seems to be lit fle doubt now that only actual bat tle experience will convince' American soldiers that the ability to take ad vantage of any bti of cover is one of the greatest assets the modern man at arms can have. Seems a Shame. "It seems a shame to have to curb the first line fighting spirit of our troops," said an American training officer yesterday. "But the men must be made to understand as far as pos sible that impetuousity must be sub ordinated to steadiness. This has be come a time clock war. I'he men must advance in given time and go no farther. Every step of infantry ad vance must first be worked out with artillery and when the plan is ar ranged it must be strictly adhered to. "We realize that it will be difficult to hold our men to this plan. If they see a battle going on their favorite impulse will be to push on as fast as they can and some are bound to do so just as the Canadians did in the earlier stages. We v ill undoubtedly have big losses in this way, but the men who come through our first bat tles will be worth their weightin gold thereafter. They will learn quickly the value of steadiness and absolute discipline under fire and they will be the steadying influence we can dis tribute through the newer units of our great army as they get their final preparation for trial by fire." Antipathy to Digging. The natural fighting man, it seems, has a natural antipathy to digging in. Even in these late months of War Brit ish Tommies would rather remain above ground and stand chances of getting killed by shells than to dig deep dugouts so adored by the Ger mans. In planning the battle of Mes sines ridge, which was a model of' a clean-cut victory, the British army commander took into account the fighting man's point of view and when the advance had reached a stage where it gave the British covered high ground the fighting men were direct ed to take a rest while specially or ganized labor battalions were rushed up fro mthe rear to do mhe necessary digging and consolidating of new trenches so as to make them thorough ly proof against counter-attack. The result was that the fighting men were unhampered and unworried by the necessity of digging, went for ward later in the lay and took ob jectives that were rather hoped for than actually expected These are the tactics the American fighting man would like to see. They appeal to him, but just now he is being put through a pretty stiff course of dIg ging. This does not apply to dig ging trenches alone. He is being taught how to dig himself in indi vidually while lying flat on the ground in the face of enemy fire, thus getting temporary shelter and the protection of a sor t of grave-like ex eavation.

DANIELS STARTS A SPY HUNT' Recent So-Called Accidents Have Re called England's Experience With Her Navy. Washington, Aug. 27.-A nation wide spy-hunt, directed against- Ger man spies who have been attempting to cripple the American navy, was launched today. Two "accidents" in the last two days, and within little more than a month of the disastrous explosion at the Mare Island navy yard, brought matters to a crisis. A naval investigation board defi nitely determined that the explosion at Mare Island was the work of an enemy, designed to wipe oue the en tire important naval station, base of the Pacific fleet. On Saturday a bridge, the sole con necting link with the new Jamestown naval station, the proposed great At lantic base, was set afie by incen diaries. It was the second *attampt against the bridge. On Saturday also an explosion occurred aboard an American patrol boat in the Elizabeth river near Norfolk. Two men were seriously injured. The cause of the explosion could not be determined and an investigation is under way. Fleet Safe. The main Atlantic fleet for the mo meat is safe. It is closely guarded at its main rendlezvous or at the sep arate stations to which ships have been assigne'd. But, bearing in mind the long list of dlisasters to the British navy through ''unexplained" exlo sions aboard British battleships, fol lowving England's entrance into the wvar, Secretary D~aniels is waiting no longer to strike at the entemy plots or domestic treason wvhich have in spired the recent series of blows at the navy. Determ inedI action was taken today simultaneously wvith unoflicial an nouncement of information that "the Mare Island plot was only part c C a widespread program, evidlencea of wvhich has conie to the hands of the auth orities." Secretary D~aniels went into a lengthy conference at his oflice with Attorney G;eneral Gregory and A. Bruce IHielaski, the man who has had practical comnmandl of the entire Ger man sp)y and prop~aganda activities. After the conference it wvas indli catedi that a delinite lead has been obtained as to the identity of the Mare Island dlynamiters. AD)VE~RTISE IN THlE TIMES. The Beauty Secret.
