 of Ticket

New York, January 16.-Efforts to bring about harmony between republicans and
 ,sives here today produced as their
 = :. Conspicuous result a stormy protest h a' George w. Perkins and Everett by, progressive leaders, that repub- < an leaders were not acting in good 2 aith.
 Chairman William R. Wilcox of the republican national committee, called to- gether a subcommittee of the republican executive committee between republicans and progressives The result of this meet ing was the issuance of resolutions adopted for the purpose of forming sup plemental committee to be composed of republicans and progressives to have a voice in party affairs. This would take the place of the joint republican-prog sive campaign committee which went out of existence after the election.

FIGHTING NEAR yADENI

Hard fighting continues in the region of Vadeni. southwest of Galatz in tho Rumanian theatre. The Russians on both sides of Fundeni suffered heavy casualties in two attacks delivered against the German lines. according to Berlin.

PERKINS STATEMENT

Almost simultaneously with MT Will coxs announcement of this plan MT. Perkins issued a statement attacking the republican executive committee and Mir. SViIlcoxs subcommittee on harmony, but at the same time defending Mr.. Wilcox. Mr. Perkins declared that at the meet ing of the executive committee yester- day there had been an effort to force MT. Willcox out of the chairmanship and to place a reactionary vice chairman in. his place to prevent Wilcox from lberalizing the party.
 He called also for meeting of the en- tire republican national committee to work out harmony plans, saying that the subcommittee on harmony, of which MT. Wilcox is chairman. which is in the hands of the old guard.
 Finally, when he saw the harmony plan proposed by this committee he declared that it had been dictated by James A. Hemenway of Indiana, whom he called on the old guard. MT. Perkins added that he regarded the resolutions merely as a scrap of paper"

TOOK NO CHANGES

By forcing the appointment to an issue over the protest of the chairman" and "the refusal to allow the national com mittee itself to pass on the appointment, " the statement declares, these men took no chances
 They propose to see" it continues, that a vice chairman of their own se- lection was installed. They performed every act they could think of to button up as tightly as possible in the hands of their own little clique the entire organi- zation of the party.
 "The men who did this were Hemenwy of Indiana, leader of the coterie, Martin of Virginia, Estabrook of New Hamp- shire, who were members of the exec .utive committees and ex-Governor Gillett of California. holding the proxy of exec utive Committeeman Crocker of Califor- mia, MT. McArthur of Oregon, and Laffe Gleason of New York, voting the proxy of Executive Committeeman Sam Perkins of the state of Washington.
 "No one of these three last mentioned men was member of the national com- mittee of the republican party. They were affiliated with the reaetionary wing of the republican party. MT. Gleason IS the acknowledged representative Of Will liam Barnes, Jr., of New York. MT. Will lett is pronounced reactionary republi- can of California and the bitter opponent of Hiram Johnson. recently elected as the candidate of both republicans and progressives to the United States Senate by an overwhelming majority, Hemenwny and his associates were careful not to trust these proxies to liberal minded re- publicans.

Fierce Fighting Continues in Ru- manian Theatre, Where Russians Seem to Be Making Greater

There is a possibility that another big offensive by the entente allies in Belgium and France is in contempIa- ton. two-days conference has been held in London between Premier Lloyd George and his war council and the British and French cOmmanders-in- chief. While nothing has been made public concerning the conference from official sources, except that it is de- scribed as ''important," an unofficial dispatch asserts that 1t differed from the conference recently held in Rome in that military instead of diplomatic questions took precedence.

ACTION DENOUNCED


 MT. Perkins' statement denounced the action of the executive committee yester- day for electing vice chairman. arrang- ing to have permanent headquarters in Washington, filling the vacancy for the District of Columbia on the national conn mittee and appointing committee Of three to pass on all matters of pub licity, finance and expenses.
 Exception to the election of a vice chairman was based on the fact that hitherto the vice chairman has always been appointed by the chairman. The precedent was broken, the statement says, ito keep the control of the ma chinery of the republican party in the hands of their own little coterie." .srhe election of vice chairman was accepted after four members of the com >mittee, Messrs Hert of Kentucky, How All of Nebraska, Parsons of New York, And Chairman Wilcox had protested tile statement continues, and after a motion by these gentlemen to refer the selection of a vice chairman to the na- tional committee itself had been voted down The election of a vice chairman by the executive committee is without precedent"

PERKINS CHARGES DENIED

A statement declaring the charges of MT. Perkins were unfounded was issued tonight by James A. Hemenway, F. w. Estabrook and former Governor Gillette. They declared it was indorsed by John T.. Adams, Cornelius N. Bliss, Jr', and other members of the committee. The statement follows in part:
 There is no justification for the inter- pretation which MT. Perkins places upon yesterdays action of the executive com mittee. He, challenges the selection of John T. Adamson as vice chairman of the committee. In the selection or MT. Adamson there was no slight intended to the progressives nor was there any given. His choice was based upon the fact that the November election showed that there is need of organization work in the west and, that his Knowledge of conditions thcra and his political. experience mako him well fitted for this work

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
IL Your Back is Aching or Bladder
BOthers, Drink Lots of Water and
Eat Less Meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with 4
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and
irritate the entire urinary track. Keep
your kidneys clean like you keep your
bowels clean, by flushing them with
mild, harmless salts which removes
the body's urinous waste and stimu-
lates them to their normal activity. The
function of the kidneys is to filter the
blood In "a hours they strain from it
500 grains of acid and waste. so we
can readily understand the vital i'm
portance of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine SO it no
longer a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this, al.
81 keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became Of
your kidney trouble and backache.
