Won Hindenburg Menaces
PetfOgrad Railway

London, Sept. 14.-F'ield Marshal
Won Htndenburg's offensive near
Dvinsk, where the railroad leading
from WILMA to Petrograd has been
reached, again menaces the connec-
tions with the Russian capital. The
comparative success in other sections
which the Russians have gained in
the last fortnight. however, caused
the capital to regard the latest threat
against it with no great alarm.
British opinion is that the Cour-
land campaign of the Germans not
only is proving costly in men and
supplies but is likely to fail unless
the Russian offensive on the other
extreme OF the long front can be
stopped soon. ~
BY their latest attack in eastern
EGaIicia, the Russians are reported to
have penetrated Al1stro-German
trenches in the face of an excep-
tfonal1y heavy artillery fire. To the
north, the Russians are Withdrawing
steadily from the dangerous Niemen
vance merely by stubborn rear guard
actions.
The tremendous duel of big guns
still continues on the french and
Italian fronts. Except for occasional
attempts to rush advanced trenches
there is little infantry activity on
either side.
From the near east come reports
that the Turks are firing villages on
the Asia.tic shore of the DardanelIes,
and it is suggested that they are pre-
pairing to abandon the straits. It Is
also reported that the Turkish shore
batteries on the Asiatic side of thu
straits have been almost reduced to
silence.

WHY YOU Are NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin>

alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
