GERMANS SHOW SIGNS
OF LACK OF SUPPLIES

and the significant circular of the Prus-
sian Minister Of War enjoining a care
full search of battlefields for equipment.
and even the collection of empty cart
fridge cases, has been quoted in n
previous letter. This circular seems to
have been prompted more by necessity
than by habits of economy, for in the
recent lighting both gun and rifle am
munition of old patterns has been
found in trenches evacuated by the
enemy, on their dead and on prisoners.
Among the latter are Mauser cartridges
similar TO those used by the Beers in
the South African war"
The narrative then quotes from PAM
phlets dropped by German airmen sum
moning the French TO surrender on the
ground that they are only pulling
chestnuts out OF the fire for the Eng
lish, after which it continues:

the German troops that this assertion
was not justified
The writer of this report then gives
passages from captured German letters
which indicate anxiety concerning the
result of the fghtin One Of these,
dated September p, contains the fol-
lowing passage:

painful to read of the boastful an

we were then. | do not know whether
you realize this, but there is no use

ton recently received corroborates the
impression already gained that the
enemy's troops suffered severe priSa-
tions during August and .Septemasf."

FRENCH PLANS FOR
INVADING GERMANY
Said to Have Been Found
on Officer Captured
at Verdun.

What purport to bep lans for the
general advance of the French army
against Germany we're printed in the
"Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" Of
September 30. According to the paper,
which was received by NJ. b. Claussen,
of New York, the plans were taken
from a diary found on French officer
captured at Verdun.
The plan of campaign laid down. the
German paper states, was that the first
French army should unite with the
British and Belgian forces and march
through Belgium upon Cologne anG
Coblenz. and there throw their forces
upon the northern German army. The
second army was 20 occupy Metz, and
after accomplishing this was to turn
toward Saarlouis and Coblenz, and
there join he first army.
The third French army was 20 pene-
trato Lorraine, TO occupy the northern
part Of the Vosges, and then 20 take

20 follow the advance OF the other

BOMB SENT TO
CROATIAN PAPER
Letters Threatening Death to
Editors Followed by In
fernal Machine.

A bomb weighing about six pounds
was received yesterday at the business
Office of the "Narodin List" Croatian
newspaper. 63 Park Row. The bomb
was addressed "'Nsrodin List 63
Park Row" and was sent from Nelvs,
s. D.. through the Western Express
Company. The name of the sender was
given as Sam Lemmage.
Because of threatening letters re-
Gently received there was no one IN the
office who dared to open 1t. Owen
Eagan, the bomb expert of the Bureau
of Combustibles, was called. He said
il was of the clockwork variety, and
was Of the opinion that the explosive IL
contained was nitroglycerine. He took
il away with him, and will examine it
il more thoroughly tomorrow. In the
meantime the police are endeavoring
TO trace the sender.
MIR. Brozovic, editor OF the paper,
thinks that the bomb was sent as the
result of a magazine article he wrote
some time ago. The article was pub
lished after the assassination OF Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand Of Austria and
his consort, which was ascribed to
Servian organization.

London, Oct. 24.-Another descrip-
tive recital of occurrences in the north
of France from an eyewitness attached
to the British General Headquarters
was issued by the Official Information
Bureau to-day.
1t is dated October II, speaks of the
fitness of the troops and declares that
"the fact that we are steadily advanc-
ing and that the enemy is giving way
before US had proved a most welcome
and inspiring change" Continuing, the
report says:
This is not the only advantage we
possess over the Germans. for we still
hear from prisoners that their advance
troops, at any rate, are short of food
and exhausted by continual outpost
work. We can afford to give our troops
more rest, and there is no lack of food.
Many of the men opposed TO us at the
present time have had only two months
service, and some of our prisoners de-
clare that they will not expose them
selves in the trenches. Nevertheless,
the enemy in front of US is fighting
well and skilfully and showing con-
siderable powers of endurance. They
generally contrive to remove their
wounded and often to bury their dead
before they retire, and their escape is
often facilitated by the numerous deep
bitches in this country.
"Many of their cavalry patrols are
wearing Belgian uniforms, a practice
which is not excusable on the ground
of any lack of their own.
IAN incident which occurred October
IS shows the resource and bravery Of
some of our enemy's scouts. A detach-
ment of German artillery was retiring,
and from time to time coming into ac-
ton. An officer of one of our flank
cavalry patrols had been standing for
some minutes under a tree when he no.
ticed fine wire hanging down close to
the trunk. He followed the wire up
wards with his eye, and was aston
ished to see one of the enemy in the
tree. As he drew his revolver and
fired the German dropped onto his head,
also firing. The British officer was
stunned, and when he came to it was
to find himself alone with the peak of
his cap blown away and his uniform
covered with blood which was not his
own.
"As the campaign goes on the ten
dency of the Germans TO rely on the
splendid war materi=i with which thew
have been so amply provided, rather
than on the employment of masses of
men, has become more marked. There
are now indications, however, that their
supply of material is not inexhaustible,

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larry can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says wel-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisOns from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleePlessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or II the
urine Is cloudy, offensive, full OF sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts Is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations TO flush and stimulate
the kidneys. also TO neutralize the acids
IN urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then TO keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious Eidney
complications.
