JAPAN SENDS WAR
ULTIMATUM TO GERMANY

They are good shots and are not apt
to lose their heads.
The German infantry and cavalry
have made their attacks In close or
der, with the result that they have
been killed en- masse.
The battlefield at Diest presented
scene OF indiscribable horror after
the conflict. All the wounded had
been removed, but the bodies were
piled on bodies and dead men and
dead horses encumbered the ground.
The wastage OF horses Is a serious
problem for the German cavalry.
IL was an extraordinary sight 10

nants and were distributed among the
victorious troops and the villages.
The ardent desire OF the Germans
to capture the forts about Liege.
especially those on the left bank OF
the Meuse, and the enormous import
ance they attach to the possession
OF these forts was evidenced in the
determined attempt 20 capture them
by hurling compact bodies of troops
against the ramparts to rush them
by the sheer force OF overwhelming
numbers.
Elsewhere along the line OF advance
the Germans show how desperately
determined they are TO take up the
positions planned at no matter what
cost in lives. This was shown in
the Haelen fight, where the German
cavalry charged for two days against
the barricades as though modern
rife fire was no more dangerous than
lances. But nowhere is IL shown more
plainly than in the desperate courage
which was displayed in the assaults
on the Liege forts.

London.-Pushing forward by sheer
weight OF numbers the German ad
vance across Belgium slowly but stea
oily fought its way.
Germany started her great fanking
movement. north and west OF Liege
TO advance her army OF 100000 men
into Belgium. The advance guards
headed for Tongres, ST. Frond and
Hasselt, with Brussels as the goal.
Terrific bombardment of the Liege
forts on the west side OF the Meuse
River served to cover the German
Ranking movement.
For time the allies held back the
Kaiser's heavy advance guard on a
quartersfront OF 20 miles, extending
from Diest, through Hasselt and st.
Trond TO Tongres, but as the main
Army OF the Meuse, numbering at
least 100000 men, was pushed forward
the defenders realized the expediency
OF retreat to stronger position.
Reinforcements were then rushed
to the allies from both England and
France and it is estimated that when
the final clash comes the allies will
be as strong in numbers as the Ger
mans, which means a clash between
100000 men.
The French war office announces
that large body Of French troops, the
exact figures, in conformity with the
policy Of the war office not to reveal
The strength of the various French
armies, are not given, has crossed
Into Belgium, and is now on its way
from Charleroi, west OF Namur, to
GemblouX, 10 miles northwest OF Ma
mur. Gembloux is almost directly
south OF Louvain, the headquarters OF
the main Belgian army. A line drawn
from Gembloux to Louvain Is direct
iy across the path of the German ad-
vance toward Brussels.
An official statement by the British
War and Admiralty bureau says:
1t is now confirmed that the Bel
gian troops were successful in their
engagement with six regiments OF

fantry with machine guns and artil-
lery. The Germans were completely
disorganized. The six cavalry regi-
ments suffered great loss, and the Bel |
gian troops pursued the infantry which |
gave way.
Toward Eghezee, 10 miles north OF |
Namur, detachment from the garri- |
son surprised cavalry regiments en-
camped, threw them into confusion,
and fought them towards the east,
after taking numerous prison ars and
capturing cannon and machine guns.
News of the fight in the vicinity
of Haelen confirms reports that the
Germans were driven to the east
ward and that there is now no Ger
man cavalry between Hassalt and
RemillSs in the province of Brabant.
German cavalry patrols are now re-
ported TO the north OF Montmedy,
which lies on the France-Belgian bor-
der in the Department of the Muese.
Belgian cyclists and cavalry from
Namur surprised a force of German
cavalry, accompanied by artillery and
guns, and compelled them to
retire. The Germans lost field gun
and several machine guns.

The network of nerves in your body.
like the network of wires in a burglar
alarm system, gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in this way a pain is
useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is dangerous thing-a condition
not to be neglected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals of sick kidneys.
Backache is a common warning of
congestion contamination in the kid
neys. 1t may be dull, nagging pain, or
sharp twinge when STOPPING or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
OF urination, dizziness, headaches, and
drowsy, respondent, tired feelings.
1t is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel,
dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease.
AS special medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used for years all over the civilized
world, and surely are considered reli-
able. The patient can always help the
medicine immensely, however, by diet
ing lightly, using little or no liquor,
tea or coffee, keeping regular hours
and drinking lots of pure water.

OBJECTION PLACED ON AGE
But Young Lady's Idea Was Altogether
Different From What Corporal

What pensions, what millions and
billions in pensions, this horrible war
is going to entail" said Major Fitzger-
aid Of Boston. He added:
"And some of these pensions will go
on longer than they should, because
some of the pensioners in their old
age will marry young girls-for an old
pensioner makes a good parti, since
his pension, you know, falls on his
death to his widow.
II heard the other day about an old
Civil war pensioner who proposed to
the hired girl next door, a very pretty
girl of twenty or so. But she refused

Food Demanded.

The human body will stand lot OF

of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on
which it has been made sick.
Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.

could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair.
