JAPAN GIVES IT'S SHE IN WAR

TOKYO. Japan. Sept 9.-Baron
Kato, minister of foreign affairs, at
the opening of the diet reviewed the
events leading up to the war with
Germany. He said that early in Au-
gust England asked Japan's assist
ance and that Japan necessarily COM
piled. After a full and frank ex-
change of views Japan advised the
Germans of the Japanese "R2timatum"
which was unanswered and war was
declared.
Baron Kato closed his speech with
a tribute to the United States govern
ment
To the American government for
the courtesy which II has been good
enough to extend TO Japan in eonnec-
ton with the present trouble he
said, and for the protection ST ia
pans subjects and interests in Ger
many and Austria l desire to express
the sincere appreciation of the i'm

Apply Sloan's Freely For LumbagO.

Your attacks of Lumbago are not
nearly so hopeless as they seem. You
can relieve them almost instantly by
a simple application of Sloan's Lini-
ment on the back and loins. Lumbago
is a form of Rheumatism, and yields
perfectly to Sloan's, which penetrates
quickly all in through the sore, tender
muscles, limbers up the back and
makes it feel fine. Get a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment for % cents of
any druggist and have it in the
house-against colds, sore and swol-
len joints, rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica and like ailments. Your
money back if not satisfied, but it
does give almost instant relief.

and dresses, and shoes, and food for
the morrow, and some clear money in
his purse. l thought / could see his
wife standing in the doorway to give
him a cordial greeting on his return,
so DESTROYS was that he should make
the home ones happy and contented. l

he returned to his family after days

to my work. But evening came, and
he passed by my window again. He

in hard work.
What has the father done for the

his schooling, and his bills when he
went to college, so that when | make
the average amount expended by the

news from abroad Is a story
In itself. Some OF the best
OF these graphic sidelights
are here given.
The official press bureau In London
gives out an account Of operations In
northern France as reported by an eye
witness, I'm which he says:
There are many points connected
with the lighting methods of either
side that may be Of interest. The fol-
lowing description was given by a
battalion commander. who has been
at the front since the commencement
Of hostilities and has fought both In
the open and behind intrenchments. 1t
must. however. be borne in mind that
1t only represents the experience OF a
particular unit. 1t deals with the tao
tics Of the enemy's infantry:
The important points to watch are
the heads OF valleys and ravines and
woods, especially those on the sides of
hollow ground, and all dead ground to
the front and flank. The German of.
hcers are skilled in leading troops for
ward under cover in closed bodies. but
once the latter are deployed and there
rs no longer the direct, personal lead
ership the men will not face heavy fire.
Sometimes the advance is made In q
series of lines, with the men well open.
ed out at intervals of FIVE or six PAGES;
at others Ii is made In lines with the
men almost shoulder to shoulder. But
It is followed In all cases by supports
In close formation. The latter either
waver when the front line is checked
or crowd on to IT in moving forward
under the orders OF their officers. and
the mass forms a magnificent target
Pinned to the Ground.
"'Prisoners have described the fire
OF our troops as pinning them TO the
ground, and this is certainly borne out
by their actions.
"'When the Germans are not heavily
intrenched no great losses are incurred
in advancing against them by methods
In which the British army has been in
structed.
"In fighting behind intrenchments
the Germans endeavor to gain ground
by making advances in line at dusk or
just before dawn and then digging
themselves In, In the hope no doubt
that they may eventually get so near
as TO be able. as during maneuvers. to
reach the hostile trenches in a single
rush.
'Sharpshooters are often noticed in
trees or wriggling about until they get
good cover. The remedy Is to take the
initiative and detail men to deal with
the enemy's sharpshooters.

the violence OF the firing. His horse
was killed on the evening of the third
