HAND-TO-HAND FIGHT
 IN MEUSE CAMPAIGN

Nancy. via Paris, Jan. 1z-The French troops were ordered to take the offensive between the Mouse and Moselle oh January and the fighting that followed resulted in a. distinct French gain. says a Paris correspon- dent at the front.
 While on the wings the infantry at taeked Le Pretrfe Wood and forest of Aprenont, the artillery massed be- hind Flirey awaited the right mo- ment to open fire. The batteries had been deftly concealed during the night but nevert theless as soon as the morning mists Heated away, German shells began to fall among the gun tners- Twice the positions were changed but stin the shells fell quick -ly. Five men were sent to investigate a. wind rnill.
 As soon as they reached the build ing man jumped from the window and fled towards the German lines but he was soon brought down by a. French bullet At noon the French guns opened fire and at the same time an aviator announced that the Ger man center had been weakened be- cause the Germans were obliged to send help to the left wing which was hard pressed in the Le Petr1e wood
 After hours of smelling the Ger man gums were put out of action and the French infantrynen dashed for ward. The Germans unnasked Quiokdrers but their assailants were well into their stride and unheeded the fire.
 A fierce hand-to-h hand struggle fol- lowed along the edge of the wood and the Germans were forced back into the xnuzz1es of their own quickfirers which pumped lead into them for 10 minutes, an error which enabled the French engineers to reach the prin- cipaI work and blow it up as well as the treacherous windmill
 By the end ofthe day the Germans had been driven well into the wood Of St. Baussant and the French had gained an advance of halt a mile. z

SERyIA WANTS LANDS
 NOW HELD BY AUSTRIA

Rome, Jan. 12.-Contrary to state ments that have appeared in the newspapers of London. Paris and Ser lin that an understanding has practi- ca11y been reached about a ServiaE outlet to the Adriatic Sea, it is stat ed in Servian official quarters here that this will not now satisfy Servia.
 It is declared that such conces- sion would have been satisfactory two years ago when the subject was dis cussed at the London conference, but now after a war in which her life and independence were risked, Servia could not accept a port or a strip of coast What she now claims, 1t is stated are the Servian regions pos sessed by Austria, including Bosnia, Herzegovina and Dalmatia, which
 must be assigned to her through the principIe of national treaty.

A KIDNEY MEDICINE WITH THOUSANDS
 OF FRIENDS

severa1 years ago T suffered from Kidney and. Bladder trouble. I was completely run down in health and lost 28 pounds in weight. I suffered nearly all the time. I could not bear to ride in a. buggy and could not walk over 100 yards without having to sit down. could not eat hardly anything. had several doctors working on me several years They tried everything and, did not gain in health. A Swamp Root Almanac was left at my house and after read ing it, I resolved. to try your rem edy. I obtained six bottles through the druggist and had taken five of them when I was entirely cured. Gained 80 pounds in weight in few weeks and was a new man in every respect. I always keep Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root in the house, and rec ommend it to my friends as I have not the slightest doubt of it's ability to cure Kidney trouble in it's worst form.

King Albert Dug Trenches.

London, Jan. 12.@The Daily Mai. prints a letter from a Belgian soldier which says, among other things:
 We never knew how nluchFwe low ed our King. With what he has done and is doing for us we couId not help loving him. One Sunday while he was on tour of inspection with his staff officers he saw men dig- ging trenches who looked very tired. The King inquired how long they had been working and on being told sent them away to rest while he pro- posed to the officers that they and himself take the nen's places. The King could then be seen digging trenches to relieve his. soldiers.

 New British Laws in Force.
 London, Jan. 12.-Certain new war statutes, defining the status of aliens and setting forth what constitutes British nationality become effective to-day. The press is already dis scussing whether they are effective against spies.
 Naturalization cannot be requested as a right under either the new or old statutes. It is regarded as an act Of grace. The working of the new laws. therefore. depends largely on the Home Secretary.
 The problem in the British mind is to determine whether an alien who seeks to become British citizen may not be doing so at the instigation of his home Government in order more effectively to be a spy. Just now nat suralized Germans are held under sus- lpicion by the Government, and are not allowed to live in certain areas, particularly along the eastern coast, which is subject to German raids; near army training camps, or forti- fled bases.
