army under General Hindenberg Is now
retreating to It's old fortified positions

where the Russian invasion was driven
hack month ago.
Tho kaiser himself has come to the
frontier and Is at Torn, having arrived
by way of Breslau and Bromberg. 1t Is
believed that General Hindenberg has
been summoned to Torn for special
audience with the emperor, which indi-
Gates how grave the situation In the
eastern theater of war Is considered to be
by tho Germans.
Russians Have better Place.
An American military authority now In
this city. has described for the World
correspondent the strategic position OF the
Russian armies now along the whole
front, as follows:
After two months of war. the lnitia-
tive has now passed definitely into Rus
sia's hands. II Is now able to select the
field where a decisive settlement may be
effected The battle front in Silesla Is
now greatly heightened. Silesia contains
no natural defensive lines, except some
small rivers. and It is likoly that the en-
tire right bank of the Oder may have to
be coded to the Russians without great
battle being fought until the prepared
positions around Breslau are reached
This adverse situation of the Germans
is due primarily TO the miscarriage Of the
Austrian aggressive on the Galician flank
and the destruction OF the second Aus
trian army.
AuAtrtRns ON Defensive,
"The offensive operations against Ivan
gorod within Poland have resulted only
IN the Russians holding the Carpathian
mountains as a defence for their west
ward operations All the siege artillery
sent from Breslau to the Austrian second
has compelled the Austrians to adopt a
purely defensive position at Cracow.
while the energetic Russian Initiative,
after the defeat of Generals Dankl and
Auffenberg. has prevented the Germans
from creating a strong cover for the
snesan front. They have been obliged
to bring up great achievements from
their western campaign front, despite
tho serious position there"
Six German Armies in East.
The military critic Of the Russky
Slowo, says today that the German army
assembled In Silesia includes two Bavarian
corps and that the army is commanded
by the king OF Bavaria, and that the
Russians now have TO deal with a total
OF six armies Two of these, In East

If Kidneys Act

Says Backache is sign you have
been eating too much meat,
which forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery In the kidney region 1t gem
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter It
from the blood and they become sort OF
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re
moving all the body's urinous waste
else you have backache. sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twingee. The urine
is cloudy, full Of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night
Either consult good. reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts: take
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid OF grapes
and lemon juice, combined with llthla,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irrltates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
