rains will give the Russians the respite
which will save them. The next few

On the Polish Salient,

When the campaign opened the Rus
sian line had been fairly straight, with
slight bulge about Warsaw. After
the fall Of Lemberg the front had been
SO bent back that Poland was like a
nut between two Jaws of nutcracker,
one jaw being East Prussia, occupied
by Hindenburg, the other Galicia, now
held by Mackensen and tho Austrians.
In fact, the Russian line was now
about whore it stood when the war
opened.
After the Russians had been driven
back beyond Lemberg, Mackensen,
whose main army had never gone far
east of the San, made a half wheel to
the north and moved against the War
saw-Kief railroad. His objective points
were Cholm and Lublin, in the gap be-
tween the Vistula, at Ivangorod and
the marshes south and east of Cholm.
This was the only weak spot in the
whole Russian defensive position of
the Polish salient. Along the whole
northern side, from the Baltic to War
saw, the forts and the rivers supplied
barrier which held back Hindenburg
and was to hold him until operations
to the south compelled an evacuation

AS I close this review. the issue re-
mains in doubt; the chances are about
even. If the Russians still possess re-
serves. their escape is assured. They
may cut their way out. for the net is
thin; but the peril is very grave, the
gravest since the campaign opened
with the Dunajec disaster.
If Russia escapes then it will be
necessary to count the German cam
paign a failure. for the Russian armies
will still remain. 1t has cost Germany
and Austria not less than a million,
perhaps a million and a half. Of casu
alties. 1t has cost the Russians perhaps

and Constantinople fall. then the dis
aster to the Germans would be very
real.

His volunteering to Join John Dorr

a lark.
It was only long association with her,

cence and an occasional glimpse OF her
profounder and womanly nature that
had touched his heart and wakened in
him feelings that he had refrained
from confessing to himself.
Then came the moment when she
had turned to him for help and he had
been the single person in the world
who could save John Dorr.
Sharp and brief as had been the
struggle in his own mind, 1t had
brought him to an acknowledgment of
the fact that she was the only woman
he wanted for his wife.
On the very tick of her hour of trou.
BILE he had ventured to ask his reward
for service.
She had promised, and now he, baro-
net and retired officer Of the British
army, shook like boy at the thought
of the happiness that awaited him.
They met at breakfast, Dorr still
showing the effects OF his nights ad-
ventures, Ruth bright eyed from want
of sleep and Sir Donald alone present
ing the appearance of one who had be-
gun the day Alright after a sound
nights rest.
Their natural topic of conversation
was OF DORIS attempt to capture the
idol and Sir Donald's rescue OF him.
John could give little satisfaction to
Ruth's minute inquiries, and the Eng
lishman confessed that he himself,
though much more familiar with the
native ways and native temples, had
not much notion Of exactly how it had
all come about nor how he had found
Dorr and extricated him.
The only thing l gather from it all
is this" he said amiably. You had
better take my advice in this country
and not try to perform any of your
western feats. India is a very old
country, and they resent here anything
that doesn't follow the good old lines"
Il suppose was very foolish" John
confessed ruefully. But whep I, saw
that image right within reach simply
couldn't resist the temptation to grab
1t and try to escape"
Sir Donald looked at Ruth meaning
ly. "I can't say that I'm a bit sorry,
old chap" he told Dorr. After all, as
you say. it's an i'll wind that blows no
one any good"
Instantly Ruth caught his meaning.

had risked his life for her sake should
not be without his reward.

plate until John rallied her and swore
that he would yet get the plans.

MEAT CAUSE Of

If you must have your meat every

salts occasionally, says a noted author

acid which almost paralyzes the kid

the blood. They become sluggish and

misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
YOU have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy. full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritate1,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces
of -Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few DAYS
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys. also to neutralize the
acids in urine. so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder weakness.

Donald remarked, pointing to a much
bedraggled native who had entered the
compound and was evidently waiting
for some one.
That's my old servant" he contin-
ued. "If you will excuse me I'll go and
hear what he has to tell us"
Ruth and John watched the two of
them for some time, the tall, carefully
dressed Englishman and the dirty ma
tive.
They could see that the latter was
much excited, and toward the last Sir

EYE GLASS PRICES ADVANCE
War and Increased Size OF Lenses are
Given as Cause
By Associated Press

New York, Feb. 2.-The largest ad-
vance in price of eye glasses and spc-
tacles ever made at one time. it is said,
is announced in price lists issued to-
day by manufacturers. The amount
of the increase which is on lenses, IS
estimated at from 25 to so per cent.
About 100000 people in the United
States use glasses.
In the absence of an explanation by
the manufacturers for the advance,
local wholesalers state that the war is
the chief cause. Opticians cite changes
in the labor laws, manufacturers be-
ing forced to employ men for work
formerly done by girls. The opticians
also assert that fashions in eye glasses,
which recently have decreed that large
lenses shall be worn, are responsible
for increased cost OF manufacture.
