ALLIES MAKE GAINS OF ONE
MILE ON ENEMY AROUND
USER CANAL.

LONDON, May Field Marshal
Sir John French has broken his 81
lence in regard to the movements OF
the British army northwest of La
Basse with the announcement, Of an
advance OF nearly a mile into the Ger
man line. This together with the
continuance of the French thrust
north Of Ypres and southwest of La
Basse constitutes the outstanding fea.
lures OF the military situation today.
Military commentors here regard
the British advance as genuine
break OF the German line which II
maintained must mean retreat. tor
a considerable section of the invaders
forces. Recapture OF the bridge over
the Yser canal at Steenstraate by the
French deprives the Germans of their
last connection with the west SIDE
of the canal. German assaults on the
British position at Ypres seem TO
have spent themselves at least for the
moment.
Official reports from Petrograd do
little to minimize the severity which
the Russians have experienced over
practically the whole line from cen.
tral Poland to the Carapthians. The
victorious German, allies have robbed
the Russians OF most OF the gains Of
hard winter and spring campaign with
the exception Of Przemysl which is
closely threatened on two sides by
hostile forces. It is evident that. the
Austro-G c German forces will leave moth
ing undone in an attempt to force a
question of the san river.

ABOUT BELGIUM.

please tell us about Belgium; what
is the size, population, etc"
Belgium is one of the smaller Eu-
ropean States, lying between France
and Holland. 1t is so small as to be
difficult to find on the map of Europe.
The country is l05x173 miles in ex-
tent, and consist of 1873 square
miles. The State of Virginia has
42,627 square miles of territory. so
by comparison, Belgium is not quite
one-fourth as large as Virginia. Com
pare, however, the population. Bel
GUM, by the last census, had 1928
622 people, Virginia, 1852, 284 or not
quite one-fourth as many people as
Belgium. Belgium has more than
6OO people to each square mile of
territory. Virginia has only about
do people to the square mile. This
gives an idea of how thickly the peo-
pie are settled.
y The products of the country are
coal, iron ore, zinc, wheat, flax, beets.
hops, tobacco and horses. The in
dustries are laces, linen, silk, wool,
mathematical Instruments, etc.
In the year 1905, (the only census
available now, Belgium produced 10
million) bushels of wheat; rye, five
and half million; barley, 6S8 1-2
million bushels; potatoes, "a million
bushels; tobacco, ID million pounds:
beet sugar, 100000 tons; corn, none.
From this it will be seen that this
little country is rich in resources or
rather was before the German inva-
sion, which has smashed and ruined
everything.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Genuine Merit Required to Win

drop out of sight and are soon forgot

unfacturer. This applies more partic-
ularly to medicine. A medicinal
preparation that has real curative
value almost sells itself, as like an
endless chain system the remdy is
recommended by those who have
been benfitted to those who are in
need oft it.
A prominnt druggists says "Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp root
preparation l have sold for MANY
years and nevxr hesitated to recon-.
mend, for in almost every case If
shows excellent results, as many of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that know of has SO
large SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
nave used the preparation, the sue
cess OF DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
due to the fact that it fulfills almost
every wish in overcoming kidney. liy-
en- and bladders disease, corrects urj-
nary troubles, and neutraliZes the uric

In reply to Mr.. Gose's friendly
criticism; To be entirely candid, our
sympathies are with the allies in this
war, and this is true of an over
wheiming majority of the people of
the United States. This is not the
Time or place to discuss the causes
OF the war. When one thinks of
brave little Belgium, raped, ruined
blasted and destroyed, her fair fields
and beautiful cities and churches fac.
tories and schools, blasted BLEEDING.
OF her widowed women and orphaned
starving and freezing children. and
all with little or no provocation. when
all this and more is thought of it is
impossible to approve the cause of
1t all, whoever it or he maybe. If
might be the better policy, however,
for all of us to neither approve or
condemn and leave it to the histo-
rian of the future to paint the dark
picture.
