FRENCH ARTILLERY FIRE

Paris, via London, March 4. 11.52 p. m.-The following official statement was issued by the French wa- on1ce tonight:
 In Belgium, in the region of the dures, our artillery fire has been par ticularly effective and our infantry have occupied a new trench in advance of our line.
 "In Champagne we have continued to make progress. We have strength ened and widened our positions. noa- bly, the northwest of Perthes. and to the northwest of Mesnil capturing about 100 prisoners.
 "On the ridge to the northwest of the latter village the Germans have made fresh counter attacks which have been repulsed. Prisoners confirm the seriousness of the losses sustained by tho two regiments of the guards in the fighting yesterday.

SPEAKER CLARK REVIEWS
 WORK OF 6sD CONGRESS
Will Go Down in History as Most Re- markabIe of All Congresses.

Washington, March 4.-Speaker Clark issued statement tonight brief ly reviewing the work of the sixty third congress, which, he said, would go down in history as one of the greatest and most remarkable of all congresses, because it had put on the books more, constructive legislation and was in session more days than any other. The statement added:
 "The president has managed so far. under very difficult circumstances to keep the country out of war. which would be the greatest calamity that could happen. It seems to me that every good citizen, without regard to politics, will endorse him in his ef- forts to maintain neutrality.
 Taken all in all, the administration and congress have done a vast amount of good work. On it we appeal con- fidentIy to the country.
 "Tf1e signs of the times indicate that business, large and small, is regulating conditions in which the transatlantic war hurled us. To careful reader of the newspapers, the prospects appear to be that by the 4th of July every man and woman in America who de- sires work at living wage will find employment, which is a great desider- atum."

GREAT BRITAIN SILENT
 REGARlNG MARINE SITUATION
Chicago Packers Annoyed Over Delay
 at Falmouth of the Vitaiia.

London, March 4, S.15 p. m.-Little light was thrown today on the steps that Great Britain will take to enforce her declared intention to stop trade to and from Germany. Developments on the declaration hinge on an order-in- council which 1t has been promised will be issued soon, but no definite date for the issuance of which has been announced.
 Officials make It clear at every op- portunity that the mode of making re- prisals will be outlined in such a man. ner that further negotiations will not be precluded insofar as the declaration affects neutrals. Meanwhile, foodstuffs from the United States destined to neutral countries continue to be de- layed without explanations being given which satisfy shippers.
 Chicago packers are much annoyed over the delay at Falmouth since Feb. 20 of the Norwegian steamer Nitalia. There are no prospects for the release of the steamer, although it is said ev- erything possible has been done to comply with the British requirements. All the goods in the Vitalia are con signed to the Netherlands Overseas trust at Rotterdam. The ship was in spected by the British consul at New York before her departure and her matches were sealed. The owners of the Vitalia'S cargo gave specific guar antees that the food was for Holland consumption, yet the ship is still being held

BIG EATERS GET
 KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take 6 glass of Salts before breakfast if your Back hurts or Bladder
 bothers yeu.

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eltm- inative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and 8 general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy. nervous spells, acid stomach. or you have rheu. matism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts: take a table spoonful in a glass of Nf-er before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam ous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with 1ithia and has been used for gene rations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys: to neutraliZe the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder dis orders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- iure, makes a delightful effervesce2t nt1nia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time.

BURNING OIL AND CHEMICAL
 SPRAYED ON TRENCHES.
Used by Germans on Enemy in the
 Woods of Malincourt.

Paris, March 4, 4.30 p. m.-The eff feet Of the burning oil and chemical sprayed by the Germans on the French advanced trenches in the woods of Malincourt which was mentioned in a recent official communication (Feb- ruary 27) is described in La Liberte by a nurse at the front. Incidentally it has been learned that this new instu- ment of warfare, which is a Ger man invention, was patented in France.
 The nurse was at railway station when the soldier victims arrived. Their faces were badly burned, their limbs blistereG and their uniforms charred. A soldier, who acted as spokesman, told the nurse of their ex- perience. He said that at nightfall, after a relatively calm day, the Ger mans began to attack with a flaming liquid. Incredulous at first, the French soon discovered that this yiquid was being directed against them from sev- eral jets.
 Special appliances were used in some instances and at times an ap- paratus resembling a. fire engine. h. cendiary grenades also were hurled by the Germans. The trenches were soon in flames.
 None of us could escape this tor rent of fire,'' said the soldier. Our clothes flowed with oil and some of us became living torches. Surround ed by flames, we had to retire, but not until our comrades of the second line were ready to resist the attack of the enemy, which began six minutes after.
 "A bayonet counter attack by the Franch was carried out with veritable fury. so great was the desire for re- venge"
 At the end of the combat the Ger mans had lost 150 killed and 60 taken prisoners.

Beverly resulted in damage of s30,00o to a two-story wooden building in the rear of Washington square and threat ened the entire business section of the city yesterday morning.

 While the officers were in the house they smelled smoke, and on returning to the street discovered the blaze, sending in the alarm at the central fire station across the street from the building where the fire broke out.
