How to Fight tuberculosis

I'm paper read last year before
the Bexar County Medical Society and
published i'm part In the Louisville

elan who has devoted much time to
the study Of tuberculosis, said |:

Thus from another authoritative
medical source comes iuStifica ton for
the use Of lime in the treatment Of

Since this is one OF the ingredients
Of ECkman's Alternative. much of the
success attending the widespread use
of this remedy doubtless is due TO
a way as to render il easily assirnil-

Germans Trapped and Swept to
Death in Flood After Cross
ing River User.

PARIS, Nov. a-First-hand informa-
tion Of the stupendous carnage which
followed the opening Of the sluices on
tho User river has Just reached me.
After eight days Of the most sanguinary
fighting in military history the river
became choked with bodies. sunken
barges, and dead horses. Three entire
WurttemburE brigades were able to
cross the river. using the bodies of men
and horses as their sole bridges.
When the infantry was on the west
ern bank. Of the river the German ar
tillery shelled the first line of trenches.
and when no reply came therefrom. the
Wurttemburgers, shouting their war
cry. charged the trenches. 1t was only
when they arrived at the breastworks
that they discovered the Belgians had
left, leaving behind their hats propped
upon sticks.
Before the Germans were able to re-
gain the river banks. the Belgians OPEN
ed the sluices and hundreds Of tons Of
water rushed upon the entrapped enemy,
carrying with It houses, uprooted trees,
and thousands Of dead bodies.
Shriekins with terror, the wurttem-
burgers attempted to flee, but when
they were wading breast high in the
water, French guns, posted on a near
by slope, opened fire, and with the ex-
to the Belgian lines. the entire brigade
was wiped out by fire and water.
The valley now Is tranquil sheet Of
water. The only visible objects thereon
are few telegraph poles and q number
of bodies floating on the surface.

Turkish ENJOY Assaulted
As He Leaves PetrOgrdd

The entire Black Sea fleet was reported
today to have been concentrated at an
agreed rendezvous where 1t awaits the
attack Of the Turkish fleet. Although
the great battle cruiser Goeben gives the
Turks an apparent advantage there Is
a disposition here to believe that the
Goeben is much over-rated Her turrets
are said to catch and interfere with the
proper firing of her guns, and a small
proiectile from the Sebastopol forts is
declared to have damaged one Of them
materially.
It is understood that only a small pro-
portion Of her original German crew
remain aboard as most Of the men were
distributed among other Turkish war
ships. The Turks. it is said, cannot
handle the big warship to advantage,
and high naval officials here insist that
in the naval battle to come Russia must
easily win.
No Confirmation of Battle.
There is as yet no confirmation OF re-
ports that Turkish and Russian troops
are already fighting in Caucasia.
Reports from the Austro-German front
declare the Russians are continuing
their offensive, and that the Germans
are unable to make stand because of
the lack of artillery, resulting from the
miring of many guns in their rout in
front of Warsaw.

BRITAIN RELEASES
z COPPER CARGOES
Ambassador Page Notifies State
Department Italian Ships
Have Left Gibraltar.

Ambassador Page, at London, notified
the State Department today that Great
Britain had announced the release Of
the italian steamers San Giovanni and
Regina Italia, which, laden with Ameri-
can copper, shipped from New York to
Italy and Greece. had been detained
at Gibraltar. The State Department
filed protests last week demanding the
release of the American cargoes.
Copper shippers in New York and
other seaports have begun to complain
bitterly that the activities OF the Brit
ish cruisers in selling copper ship
ments have interfered seriously with
their business.
They claim that only one line will
now accept these shipments and this
line demands an increase in freight
rates of more than 300 per cent On
the other hand, it Is stated, these ship
pers' refuse to relieve the suspicious OF
the English government that the cop
per is intended ultimate for the Krupp
armor and gun factories in Germany by
setting forth clearly the destination OF
these shipments and giving guarantees
that the copper will not be resold b.
neutral consignees to German manufac-
turers.
Minister Naon of Argentina called at

fairies Fareddin Bey, with the entire
staff of the Turkish embassy left to-
day for Finland. This action followed
he emphatic rejection of the partial
apology offered by the Turkish gov
ernrnent for Turkeys warlike acts.
There was a sensational incident in
connection with the departure. The
embassy staff employees demanded pay
nnent of their wages, which were four
months in arrears.
Fareddin Bey declared he had no
money. The staff still insisted. Then
the charge declared he would pay just
as soon as the Turkish feet took Odes-

This enraged the servants, who were
Russians, and they assaulted the
Turkish representative, one Of them
striking him a violent blow on the

respond and he was finally protected

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Russia will
have the dominant say in defining
the attitude OF the allied powers to-
ward the Turkish Grand Vizier's Of
fer of apologies for the acts of war
OF the Turkish fleet. This is so. not
because Russia and Russian dignity
have been exclusive sufferers OF the
Black Sea bombardment, but because
&c is possible for Perrograd to make
use of the incident to realize the
long deferred Slav ambition to oc-
oupv Constantinople.
Russia alone, among the allies. has
urgent national reasons for desiring
Turkeys entrance into the war in
order that the Turkish empire may
6e partitioned after the war ends.
The other allies cannot oppose Rus
sia's desire now nor would il be pO-
litic for them 70 urge their own views
concerning Turkeys integrity at this
time
The question is one for the Pet
Tograd government to decide practi-
Cally for itself. For SlaV diplomacy,

gium is approaching a decisive stage.
Tho fact that Germany has been COM
PEELED TO order her reserves and her
new classes to the front indicates that
her losses in the last month have shat
tered the morale Of the active army.
While there is no attempt on the part
of the British military experts to be-
little the bravery of these troops, they
insist that they cannot be so effective
as have the perfectly trained units who
have failed to hack either a road to
Paris or a road to the sea. The French
and British armies arc also being heav-
lily re-enforced. and the outcome Of TIN"

pected to be equally desperate with
that in progress in northern France
and Belgium for the last ten days, is
awaited with confidence.
Closing OF the entire North Sea for
shipping. excepting under pilOtage Of
British experts. who have charts Of the
mine fields. was by the direct order Of
Admiral Sir John Fisher, first sea lord
of the admiralty. Admiral Fisher be
lieves that the success Of the Emden
and the KARLSRUHE might decide the
German admtralty to try to run the
gantlet of the British feet, with sew
eral of their fast commerce destroyers.
And this will be prevented by the
closing of the North Sea to navigation.
