ACTIVITIES ON EASTERN FRONT ACQUIRING IMPORTANCE Germans and Austrians Concentrating
 Their Efforts There.

Berlin, March 2 (via wireless to Sayville, L. I.)-The activities of the forces on the extreme north and south of the eastern battle front are steadily acquiring greater importance. The Russians and the Germans and Aus trians appear to be concentrating their efforts in these regions.
 Reports from the German and Aus trfan military authorities indicate that the Russians are bringing up rein forcements north of the Vistula and Narew line of Notifications and also in southern Ga1icia- These reinforce ments are SO extensive that the Rus sians have been able to assume the offensive at different places. Whether. after taking Przasnysz, the Russians have contented themselves with hold ing it or are advancing is not yet known here. It is regarded as improb- able. however. that Russian column would be able to penetrate any great distance from Przasnyssz. Operations in the Carpathians are proceeding slowly, with bitter fighting.
 Having made gains in the Argonne and near Malincourt, the Germans ap- pear to be resuming their operations around Ver1un.

TWO DECISIONS GIVEN
 BY JUDGE BENNETT.
Denies Divorce Petition - Holds Real
 Estate Conveyance Valid,

In the decision handed down Tuesday morning Judge William l.. Bennett de- nies the divorce petition of John A. Clark of Norwich from Mrs. Helen M. Clark of Norwich, which was heard before him recently. The petitioner alleged that his wife committed adul- tery with Ernest c. Bossey of Nor wich. In his decision Judge Bennett finds that the defendant did receive letter from the correspondent, that she met him secretly and repeatedly at night, that she permitted farniliarities and that her conduct was such as to create strong suspicious as to her chas- tity, but whatever her misconduct he finds from the evidence that it was condoned and he dismisses the peti- ton. Attorneys R, M. Douglass and Thomas M. Shields were counsel for tho defendant and Attorney John H. Barnes for the plaintiff.
 He also handed down a decision in Oliver H. Rudd of Preston against William Rudd, alias William H. Chapel of East Marion, l.. l., suit to regain possession of real estate which the plaintiff alleged to have conveyed to tho defendant in trust and without consideration and that it was to be returned upon demand. Judge Ben nett finds that the conveyance of the property by the plaintiff to the defend ant was a gift and that there was no trust connected with the transaction, and hat the circumstances shown are not such that the court scan set aside the transaction, wherefore judgment is rendered for the defendant with costs Attorney Arthur NJ. Brown appeared for the defendant and Attorney C. w. ConStock for the plaintiff.

Stomach Trouble Due to. Acidity
so SAYS EMINENT spEc1AL1sr

So-calIed stomach troubles, such as indigestion. wind, and stomach-ache, are are in probably nine cases out of ten simply evidence that fermentation is taking place in the food contents of the stomach: causing the formation of gas and acids. Wind distends the stomach and causes that full, oppressive feeling sometimes known as heartburn while the acid irritates and infiames the deli cate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the fermenting food. Such fermentation is unnatural, and acid formation is not only unnatural
 but may involve most serious conse- quences if not corrected. To stop or prevent fermentation of the food con- tents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid and render it bland and harm less. teaspoonful of bisurated mag nesia, probably the best and most eff fective corrector of acid stomach known. should be taken in quarter of a glass of hot or. cold water imme- diately after eating, or whenever wind or ac1dity is felt. This stops the fer mentation and neutralizes the acidity in few moments. Fermentation, wind and acidity are dangerous and un- necessary. Stop or prevent them by the use of proper antaeid, such as bi- surated magnesia, which can be ob- tained from any druggist and thus en- able the stomach to do it's work prop erly without being hindered by poison ous gas and dangerous acids.-M.

TO VISIT GERMAN CAMPS
 OF BRITISH WAR PRISONERS
Great Britain Requests U. s. to Ask Permission for American Inspection.

Washington, March 2.-The United States government, acting upon Great Br1tain's request, has asked Germany, through Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, for permission to have an American chosen by Ambassador Page at Lon don to visit the camps in Germany where British war prisoners are de- tained and report on their condition.
 During the early part of the war Chandler Anderson, former counsellor of the state department, who happened to be in Europe. was delegated to visit some of the camps in Austria and Ger many. This he did, and reported to this government on conditions as he found them. which he believed to be about as good as could be expected
 Great Britain, anxious for further and more complete inspection, recent ly made the new requests.
