i- weary atl hatteredl as they are, a l('
, full of contidernce, and as Ithis is writ
ton are but awaiting the opport unle
e moment to strike 1back with the big
i a nry of ma neuver which was placed
at the disposal of the supreme war

r Amiens, a most important link in
1 the Bill ish line of communicntions,
aplietred to he the real objective of

lng the week t'o push forward towvard
that city, alonig the line of the Sommne,
as far ns Unamel, anfd a little farther
north t hey took Albert and were hold

the Billtish. To the south they had
pushed a saltetnt forward a little be

they were checked and lost several

It was along thIs east and west base

What looked 1l1ke a div'ersion rath

line of haittle toward Arras. There
the BritIish,. after giving somic ground.

Trhe revolt of the Russians against

beginning to bear fruit. Troops of the

the bolshevik forces ianld already

btlle ", in whleh naval foi ces took
epart. Before that tle red gdards and
runted civilians had7 rietiken Kherson,
Nikoiayev and Ztnmenka from the
T(tonet. In somulet places the peasants
killed the German soldiers who were
taking away their foodstufs. The
Ukrainians were angered by attempts
of the Germans to go far beyond the
terms of the peace treaty and strip
the country of its stores of grain and
sugar. It is said a counil of German
oflicers diecidled to continue operations
ini Ukraine until the powier of the bol
sheviki there had been eliminated.
Trotzky, speaking in Moscowv, de
clared Ruissia will never b~e an en
slaved country, though the sov'iet gov'
er'nment is nowv weak and poor. Hie
sid they w'touldl intr'oduice compulsory
military training for the workmen and
pecasants andl create an army of 300.

The allies still stand ready to support

vigorously denied by Senator Jones and

should be told the truth and not fed on
mislending stateiments of the Progress

In a follow-up spe'ech '1'lursday Sen
itor Williams bluntly declared that
8enator L a Follette should he expelled
tromn the senate, andi that Victor Berg
or. Socialist candidate for the senate
Irom 'iscotnsi n, should he interned.
Mr. WIll ims' colleagues appeared to
he startled by this, but not one of
themn had the nerve to indorse his sug
2est ions.
As to airplanes, it was admitted in
the senate that instead of the 20,000
or 12,(1() 1)1a1ne5 the aircraft boar M had
promised to send to 'tganee by July 1,
only 37 will he shipped, nccord ing to

''hese spies, he said, had wen kened

1 lsed, and he exlihited one of the
parts so tam tered With to prove his
assertion. Mr. Overman advocated
tlh:at the government ecoimmandeer the
Curtiss lant and turn out every one
of its Present employees.
Following the debante in the senate
the shipping boa rd1 issued a statement
of its work, showing that since it
began its activities 188 vessels have
been launched, of which 103 have been
completed and put into service. Of
the launchings, 103 were requisitioned
vessels and 23 were built for thle hoard
on 'onltract inl new yards. 19leven of
the launchings were wvood. "Quantity
production will win the war, and that
Is what we are getting," sald Chair
11an? Hurley. Negotiations for the
transfer of 150,000 tons of JTapanese
shlpping to the United States have
been completed, and( it is understood~
much more will follow.
Tihe government, and Great Britain
and( France as wvell, contInue to empha
size the fact that the basis of victory
for the allied cause is an adequate sup
ply of shipping, for America's armlies

purp~oses shIps must he provided muck

sink them.,
The latest report of the British ad
nmiralty shows an increase in the num
her of larger vessels sunk by subma
rines.
As a spur to American activity and
enthusiasm, Premier Lloyd-George sent
to Lord Reading, British ambassador,
an appeal for urgent haste in -Amei
can troop movements to France. This
Lord ReadIng read at a banquet in
his honor in New York. "It is impos
sible," saId thie premier's cablegram,
I"to exaugger'ate the importance of get

in the (Germn-infested regions of

traitors wer'e unab~ile to restrain thelir

sequeni'1Ve t here were many arriests. It
is to be hoped that at least some of
the s'editilonists will be sever'ely pun
ishied, but in viewv of the mild treat
mient gIven most of them the hope is
ratthier faint. Americans the country
over are growIng decidedly impatient
wvith the kid-glove method of handling
the spies~ and traitors who are caught.
TJhe feeling that many of them should
be stsood up before a wall and shot is
prevalent, and the action) of imupulsive
patriots in certain sections makes It
plain that it would be easy to revive

ftCHILD DOESN'T
LAUGH AND PLAY
IF CONSTIPATED
LOOK, MOTHER! IS TONGUE
COATED, BREATH FEVERISH
AND STOMACH SOUR?
'CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS"
CAN'T HARM TENDER STOM
ACH, LIVER, BOWELS.
A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother I If
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's ail
ment, give a teaspoonful of "Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs," then don't
worry, because it is perfectly harm
less, and in a few hours all this con
stipation poison, sour bile and fer
menting waste will gently move out of
the bowels, and you have a well, play
ful child again. A thorough "inside
cleansing" is oftimes all that is ucces
sary. It should be the first treatment
given in any sickness.

Had To Quit Work
Gave Up Hope of Recovery, But
Doan's Restored His Health.
Has Been Well Since.
J. B. Ragless, carpenter, 210 W. 60th
St., Chicago, Ill., says: "My back gave
out completely and I had to quit work.
I could hardly endure the pain in my
back and nights I tossed and turned,
unable to sleep. Often in the morn
ing my back was as
stiff as a board, so that
I couldn't stoop to dress
myself. When I did
$ manage to bend over,
everything before me
turned black. My head
Tseemed to be whirling
--and sometimes I was so
dizzy I had to grasp
something to keep from
- falling.
Mr. Ragless "The kidney secre
tions were irregular in
passage, getting me up at night and
the passages burned cruelly. I lost my
appetite, was weak and listless agd
went down twenty-five pounds in
weight. When I had almost given up
hope, Doan's Kidney Pills cured me.
Soon after, I passed an examination
for life insurance and I'm glad to say
my cure has lasted."
Sworn to before me,
GEO. W. DEMPSTER, Notary Public.
