 For mayor" he answered, and the woman thanked him sweetly, ex- pressed the hope that MT. Tammany would make a good mayor, and rang off.

 With Heavy Losses

Rome, Nov. 8, Via. Paris, Nov. 4, 1 a. m.-The statement issued today at the headquarters of the Italian gen. eral staff reads as follows:
 'The enemy, hastily reinforced, at- tempted by repeated counter attacks to check our offensive and recapture important positions taken by us The attacks, mostly made at night and most violent, broke against the solid resistance of our troops and have not s]ackened our offensive.
 Austrians Losses Heavy.
 Such actions were fought on the night of Nov. and the following morning, first on the Sevtensteien at the head of the Rienz; second, on the Meizh in the Montenegro zone: third, at zagora in the Playa section: fourth, along the slopes of Monte San Michele cn the Carso Plateau. Everywhere the enemy was repulsed with heavy losses.

Acid Stomachs
 Are Dangerous
ABOUT NINE-TENTIS OF ALL STOMACH TROUBLE SAID TO
 BE DUE TO ACIDITY.

A Physicians Advice on Cause and
 Cure.
 A New York Physician who has made a special study of stomach and intestinal diseases says that nearly all intestinal troubles, as we'll as many diseases of the vital organs, are di- rectly traceable to deranged condi- ton of the stomach. This in turn is due about nine times out of ten to excessive acidity, commonly termed sour stomach or heartburn, which not only irritates and infames the delicate lining of the stomach but also may set up gastritis and in a large majority of cases gastric ulcers are accompnied by hyperacidity. It is interesting to note that he con- demns the use of patent medicines, and practically all medical treatment that is designated to act upon the stomach lining, stating that the best results are obtained by the use of simple antacid which acts upon the contents of the stomach and neu- tralizes the acidity of the food thus removing the source of the trouble. AS an antacid he preScribes ordinary bisurated magnesia. He contends that it is as foolish to treat the stomach itself as it would be for a man who stepped on a tack to rub lnament on the foot without first removing the tack. Remove the tack and the foot will heal itself-neutra- lize tho acid and the stomach troubles will disappear. Irritating medicines and medical treatments are useless, SO long as the contents of the stomach remains acid; remove the acidity and there will be no need for medicine the inflamed lining of the stomach will then heal itself. Sufferers from acidity, sour stomach and heartburn should get 8 small bottle of bisurated magnesia from their druggist and take a teaspoonful in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after each meal, repeating in fifteen minutes, if necessary, this being the dose Wh1ch the doctor has found most eff1caclous in all cases.

of these closely contested states, and the very remarkable race made by the party leader in the other is highly gratifying to the national democracy, for all of these states have been in the republican fold during the past few years.
 "The results yesterday are full of encouragements to democrats, demon strating conclusively that it is the constructive and gaining party, while the republicans have signally failed in their efforts to force back into the ranks progressive and independent republicans.
 Pleased With Ohio.
 One of the very gratifying results yesterday was the defeat of the leg islation submitted by Governor Willis and the republican leaders in Ohio to gerrymander the congressional dis tricts of the state so as to give the democrats only five congressional dis trictS.''

STATEMENTS ISSUED
 BY PARTY LEADERS
(. 0. p. and Democrats Pleased
 With Result Of Recent Elections

New York, Nov. 4.-Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the republican national committee, last night issued a statement in which he said:
 'The result of yesterdays election must be anything but gratifying to the national administration. The contest in the democratic state of Maryland is so very close that the result will be in doubt until decided by the official canvass. In the democratic state or Kentucky, where national questions were lugged in by the democrats to avoid a drubbing, republicans have shown their old time form. We have carried Cincinnati by the largest plu- rality ever given a candidate in that city.
 Big Republican Victories.
 s"The republicans have retained con- trol of the legislatures in New York and New Jersey; have elected local officers in upstate New York and all officers in Philadelphia. They have swept Massachusetts by pluralities ranging from 10, O,00O to 30,000, electing all state officers and 16o republican members of the legislature against seventy-nine democrats.
 we have carried the one congress sional district in Pennsylvania and three in New York, one of which, the Twenty-third of New York, has been held by democrat.
 Rebuke for Wilson.
 .It is significant that the issues dis cussed in Massachusetts and the Twenty-third of New York by men of national note were wholly those aris- ing out of the domestic policies of the national administration. William s. Bennett. elected in the Twenty-third New York, made the protective tariff his keynote and he ran II ,0O0 ahead of the republican assemblymen who were candidates in the same territory.
 ''The Boston Post contended that the national administration was on trial and that the election of Mccall would be a vote of lack of confidence in the policies of President Wilson.
 "Surely the national administration cannot point with pride and pretend to be complimented by the success of Tammany Hall in securing control of local New York offices and aiding in the defeat of the New York constitu- tion."
 Democratic Statement.
 Washington, Nov. "A statement issued last night from the headquar- ters of the democratic national com mittee commenting on the results Of yesterdays elections, said:
 'The results yesterday show that while the republicans and Bull Moose have gotten together in some states, the Democracy has made large gains from the progressive ranks. This is notably true in Massachusetts, from which state first official returns are available. The democratic guberna- torial candidate, Governor Walsh, made a wonderful race. He boiled the largest vote ever given a democrat in the state, while MT. Mccall, the re- publican candidate, ran way behind the normal republican vote given par ty nominees in recent years. The boast of the republicans in Massachusetts that they would carry the state by from 25,000 to 10000 majority re- mains unfulflled.
 Gratifying for Democrats.
 There were three state election results yesterday where governors were chosen. The democrats elected their state tickets in two of these three states. The fine victories in two

New Russian Line is Being Strength
ened by All Latest Meth
DDS Known.
ARMIES ARE STILL INTACT
Germans Hold Possession Of Entire
Brest-Litovsk Front; Grand Duke
Evacuating Fortresses.

London, Aug. 2S.-The Germans
in full possession of, the entire
Brest-Etovsk line, have resumed
the offensive in the Baltic province!
and are pressing the Russians ,botf
in the districts southeast Of Mitau
and to the east of Kovno, in an eff
fort to reach the main line of rail
way which passes through Wilma ant
Dvinsk to Petrograd
This way, in time, prove the most
important of the German operations
1t is expected, however, that with
the. fall of Brest-Litovsk which has
been followed by that of Olita, south
of Kovno, the armies Of Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg will be rein
forced and will make another at
tempt to cut off the retreat of the
Russians. 1t is believed here, how
ever, that it now is too late to &C
complish this purpose
! The Russians had apparently
evacuated both Brest-Litovsk and
Olita before the Germans arrived as
the latter makes no claim to the cap
ture of guns and booty. The Aus
trian official report states Archduke
Joseph Ferdinand found the town of
observation-disclosures in flames when
he arrived. There are indications
therefore that the. Russians still are
carrying to the rear everything NOV
able that might prove of use to the
invaders, and burning what they are
unable to take with them.
Intimation that the Russians have
fortified another front pending an
opportunity for renewed offensive
has received some confirmation. 1t
is stated that the new line is being
strengthened by all the latest meth
DDS known to military engineers.
The Russian armies still are intact,
with virtually all their guns and
prospects of more plentiful supply
of ammunition. Military writers
here are of the opinion that Grand
Duke Nicholas now should be able
to make stand, as the Austro-Ger-
man losses must have been very
heavy, especially during the three
weeks which interviewed between the
fall of Warsaw and the occupation
of Brest-Litoysk.
The capture of several German
trenches in the Vosges was reported
by Paris last evening, but what is
considered more significant is the

WILL ASK U. S. TO
HELP LIFT EMBARGO
Importation Of Foodstuffs Will
Again Be Sought by Teuton
Government.

Washington, D. c., Aug. Is
German officials have made it plain
that their government, as soon as it
has relieved the strain upon it's rela-
|tions with the United States, by linn
iting submarine activities, will ask
the American government to demand
that Great Britain and allies cease
interfering with legitimate neutral
commerce, and thus permit importa-
ton Of foedstuffs for the German
civil population. II
The American note to England on
this subject has been in preparation
for some time and probably will be
dispatched as soon as the negotia-
lions with Germany are on the, way
toward satisfactory adjustment.
Germany also is preparing to pro-
test against acquiescence by the
United States in the treatment Of
cotton as contraband. 1t is said that
the imperial government already
had indicated its desire to purchase
100000 bales Of cotton if delivery
can be arranged.

report to the meeting, as published
lare as follows:
"The report declares that Catho-
lies uphold and support the public
school system, but feel that religious
instruction is necessary, and, there
fore, bear an extra burden for priv
ate schools. An opinion was express
ed that in time all general forms Of
religion win be taught in free
schools.
"The report condemns the action
of politicians in raising religious is
sues in campaigns. as well as the ac-
tivities of quasi-political societies in
discriminating against persons of
any faith"
Those who have come into init
mate acquaintance with representa-
tive Catholics did not need to be in
formed that they do not concede to
the church authorities the right to
direct their course in political mat
tiers, but many Protestants, lacking
this knowledge which comes with
personal acquaintance, have been
misled, and the statement above
quoted is both wise and timely.
So, in the matter of public schools.
A parent may send his child to a
private school-as many Protestants
as we'll as Catholics do-without in
dicating hostility to the public
school system. The American public
school is an established fact; it is a
permanent institution, and it is idle
to talk of any class or creed interior
ing with it.
The knights are to be commended
also for protesting against the in
PRODUCTION of religious issues into
politics whether to aid the members
of a church or to oppose them. The
right to worship God according to-
the dictates of ones conscience is
one of the inalienable rights-itI
must not be jeopardized by the drag
ging of religion into politics.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: am
handing you clipping that was
taken from the August number Of
the Commoner and from the pen Of
w. ]. Bryan. am asking you to pub
lish the clipping for the reason that
lit seems to me to be in perfect har-
mony with the little article that ]
had in the Freeman-Tribune last
spring shortly before the city cleo
ton. My article came in for good
IDEAL of adverse criticism. In fact,
two of the leading preachers of the
town told me that the article was
disgraceful. Hence have strong
desire to see in your columns an ar
ticle from the pen of the great Com
moner on practically the same sub
ject. Although of course Mr.. Bryan
says nothing about Sturgeon, yet his
article and my article were practical
ly along the same lines-a plea for
religious liberation.
Thanking the editor for this
space, am, yours in favor of relig-
ious freedom,

The Knights of Columbus acted
wisely in giving a formal answer to
the Misrepresentation which have
been circulated in regard to the at
titude of American Catholics on two
important subjects. namely, on .po-
litical questions and the public
schools. The knights, at their re-
cent annual meeting at Seattle, say:
eve should lose no proper occa-
sion to declare the position of Cath
olics and the teachings of the church
on this matter, namely, that while
Catholics acknowledge the pope to be
supreme in spiritual matters, they
do not hold that he has any author
ity in civil matters. If any spiritual
authority were to direct us to do
any act contrary to the rights of free
citizens, or the welfare society, we
would be bound to disobey."
