STOP THAT ACHEi

Don't worry and complain about a
bad back. Get rid of that pain and
lameness! Use Doan's Kidney Pills.
Many Grand Rapids people have used
them and know how effective they are.
Here's a Grand Rapids case.
Mrs. William Hanson, 430 Tenth
Ave. S., Grand Rapids, says: 81 was in
poor health with kidney and bladder
trouble. My back ached day and night
and hurt me dreadfuIly to lift any
thing. I took four boxes of Doan,s
Kidney Pills in all and was benefited
IN every way. My back got much
stronger and my kidneys acted reg
ularly."

stood beside his table, "you were wit

But the officer who has raised his

he swore allegiance may have done r

which he may atone for his offense

And he gave me a letter addressed

Ten minutes later handed the can

He tore it open, read its contents

Thanks, Heltzendorff. It was nv

Goodnight"
Early next morning one of the i'm.
perial stewards entered and, awaken
Ing me, asked me to go to Captain Won
Lantzsch's cabin.
On entering I found him lying dead
on his berth with blood Oozing from a
pistol wound In the temple.
Upon the little shelf of the folding
Washstand was a note addressed to
me.
On opening it I found these words
scrubbed in pencil:

The latter, his cheeks scarlet. reeIed
and clutched at the table.
His first impulse was to hit back
but, with possession, he drew him

saluted without a word.
The kaiser, his face white as paper,
turned and left the cabin.
I stood aghast.

passed with quick. angry step.
AS he approached I saw a figure
emerge and stand in his path. It was
that of Won Lantzsch.
The kaiser lifted his hand, and. with
some imperious words, struck the man
who stood in his path.
In a second Won Lantzsch. in a f1rv
OF passion, raised his fist, planting a
direct blow at the emperor's Jaw and
sending him spinning against some
deck chairs.
Wild shouts arose from the officers
who had been chatting near, two of
whom rushed towards the emperor.
but the latter had instantly recovered
himself, and with a grim smile con-
tinued his walk and went below.
Naturally, we all expected the hus-
sar captain to be put under arrest.
But he was not. He entered nv cabin

A Midnight Command.
Among the encourage there was, of
course, much gossiping. The cause
of the fracas was to them a complete
mystery. What had occurred previ-
ously in my cabin was unknown to
them, and as a'loyal servant of his
majesty at that time it was not my
place to reveal anything whatsoever
Of private nature. Therefore the
amount Of whispering that went on on
board that evening may be readily
imagined.

FOR BEER
Council Fears Loss to City by Food
Bill.

After deferring action on the grant
ing Of saloon licenses the common
council unanimously adopted resolu-
ton petitioning President Wilson and
congress to work for the elimination
from the food bill of the amendment
prohibiting use of grains for malt bev-
erages.
The protest points out that the pro-
hibition clause would make $25,000,000
of brewery property in Milwaukee
useless, would vacate nearly 1000 sa-
loon properties, would affect $4,000
persons through loss Of wages to work
ers in the industry, would deprive the
city of 100000 revenue from saloon
licenses annually and would decrease
property values to such an extent that
the city would suffer an annual tax
loss of $25OOO0.
Copies of the resolution were wired
to the president and to both houses Of

or four men can carry as they run.
Its aim Is most accurate; 1t can, when
necessary, fire from 500 to 600 car
tr1dges per minute, sowing death on
every side with incredible speed. But
against q trench it is powerless, and
therefore 1t is pre-eminently the arm
Of defense. When properly handled,
1t is so redOubtable that one alone has
been known to stop an entire regi-
ment. It is indfsputabIy the most ter
r1ble instrument Of war.
Yet a Well-directed battery of "75''
cannon, sweeping a space of ground, is
more certain to leave nothing alive.
These, then, are the primordial
means Of defense, to which naturally
are to be added the numerous rifles
Of the defenders Of the trenches, those
trenches in which are invisible loon
holes where the enemy awaits our ap-
pearance.
Heavy Shells for Offense.
What are the adversary's means of
annihilating these hidden, powerful de-
lenses? Only heavy artillery; the large
shell, the huge torpedo, the heavy pro-
jectile Of steel, inclosing a violent ex-
plosive, is capable Of demolishing a
netting, Of demoralizing those occu-
pants Of the trench whom 1t does not
kill and keeping the adversary's nerves
on edge by the menace Of its sudden
arrival several kilometers behind the
lines. Thus the means of offensive are
the heavy cannon, the large trench
mortars, the large caliber howitzers.
the formidable marine gun mounted on
rails, all that Is longest, most difficult
and costly to manufacture, to trans
port, to set in motion. A machine gun
can be installed anywhere in two min
utes or less. A month is required TO
install the 1920" trench mortar. To
put a naval gun on rails In running
order necessitates months Of work and
the installation Of a railway. Even
guns that are easy to handle, such as
the 49," are moved with difficulty !;
at times 1t takes two or three days to
place them in a battery.
And this is not all. The heavy ar
tfllery is naturally less accurate than
the field artillery. When one consid-
ers that heavy guns soon wear out. as
the big gun can fire only q more or less
limited number Of shots, as it's caliber
increases, and as 1T must constantly
be replaced, one understands why It is
so much easier to take the def 4nsive
than the offensive, andewhy the situa-
ton on the western front, at all points
well defended, was stationary for so
long a time before the means of at
tack were sufficient to permit Of an
offensive.

MACHINE GUN IS
BEST War WEAPON
!ndisputabIy the Most Terrible
Instrument of Defense,
Says Observer.
Big GUNS Often INACCURATE:
While Necessary in Offensive Warfare
Heavy Artillery Is Not In Same
Glass With Machine Guns
In Defensive Tactics.
BY A FRENCH SOLDIER.
On the Chicago Daily News.l

PariS.-MOnths Of furious assault on
the French lines at Verdun, which
have brought into play the most pow
erful known means Of attack, have
barely succeeded in bending the ad-
versary's lines. There is, it is true,
diminutiOn of forces on both sides, and
one may look forward to the day when
the accumulation Of material and the
superiority in numbers of men on the
side of the allies will enable the latter
to break more rapidly the adversarys
tenacious resistance.
But why is it, one asks, that despite
the accumulation Of heavy cannon 1t
costs so much in men and money and
time to break the enemy's resistance?
It is because this war is being fought
in a period Of development Of the art
of war, in which the means of defense
are vastly superior to the means of
Offense in the facility with which they
can be brought into action and manu-
featured at low cost, and above all In
their efficacy, arising both from the
difficulty which the adversary finds in
demOlishfng them, and from the abso
lutte accuracy of their aim.
Means of Defense.
To understand this one has merely
to review the means Of defense at the
disposal Of the armies in the field.
First, besides the trenches, and the
barbed wire that prevents access to
them, which are the basis Of the pres
ent system of defense, and of which
the shell hole wherein the soldier con-
ceals himself from the enemy, is but a
variation, the two great arms Of de-
tense are the machine gun and the
''75" cannon, the last resort Of the
French army and one Of the great de-
tenders Of Verdun.
In the factory there is nothing
easier or relatively cheaper to make
than the machine gun. And at the
front there is nothing simpler to trans
port than this light arm, which three
