CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
 CURED

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure catar- rhaI denfness and that Is by a consti- tutional- rem edY. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube When this tube is infiamed you have a rurn5ling sound or imperfecet hearing and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: Many cases of deaf ness are caused by catarrh. which is an infiamed condition Of the mucous surfaces Halls Catarrh Medicine acts through the blood on the mucous sur faces OfNthe system.

French Front, Oct. 1.-(Corres-
pondence of Associated Press).-A
clear idea of the ebb and flow of the
tides Of German forces on the west
ern fronts during the various phases
Of the war from the opening Of hosti-
lities in 1914, till the beginning Of
September, 1917, is obtained from
carefully compiled information which
the correspondent Of The Associated
Press is enabled to transmit.
From this 1t Is gathered that when
the Germans started the war by in
vading Belgium they .aunchead 1870
battalions Of infantry formed into
965k divisions Of four regiments each
on to the Franco Belgian front, while
on the Russian fron1 they employed
only 322 battalions formed into 261s
divisions Of four regin: ents each. On
Sept. / this year they had on the
Franco Belgian British front, 1859
battalions formed into lat divisions,
some Of which. were OF three and 9TH
ers of four Regiments each, while on
tho Russo-R Imanian front $50 bat
taiions formed into 90 divisions were
in line. 1t VIII thus lie seen that the
German armies on the fighting fronts
have been increased in the three
years OF war from 1,512 battalions to
1884 battalions.
A review Of the different periods
Of the war will show how these troops
have been employed at various times,
according to whether the principal
effort of the Germans has been direct
ed toward the western or the eastern
front.
In August, 1914, the attention Of
the German high command was alb
serbed by the attack on Belgium and
France, while the Russian front was
regarded as a secondary occupation.
At that time the infantry electives
on the western front numbered 1,190
battalions in 96h divisions, each d.
vision consisting Of four regiments.
On the eastern front, the Germans
then had 322 battalions comprising
26M divisions.

How Germany Shifts Troops From
Eastern to Western Front Shown
In Statistics OF the Associated Press

time increased the number of battal-
ions on their eastern front so that
they then had 1928 battalions on the
western front and 800 on the eastern
front.
Then came the Russian offensive
in Galicia and to check the Russian
advance toward the German frontier,
Germany was compelled to throw
more troops on her eastern front, in
creasing the number OF batta1ions
there in September, 1915. to $50. To
do this 1t was necessary to reduce
the number Of German battalions on
the western front from 1928 to 1,120.
Many divisions were transferred
from the eastern to the western front
when the Germans gathered their
forces for the beginning of the great
battle OF Verdun with the result that
in June. 1916. there were 1876 Ger
man battalions on the western front
and those on the eastern front were
reduced from 7S0 to STA.
Drive On Rumania.
The German drive against Ru-
mania was made possible by adding
more than 800 battalions to their
eastern battleline, bringing the total
on the eastern front to 500. This was
done without reducing the number Of
battalions on the western front below
1900. ....
When the French and British be-
gan their great offensive operations
in July, 1917. the Germans were COM
PEELED to bring fresh forces to the
western front. increasing their battal-
ions there to 1.456 but reducing the
number on their eastern front only to
$50. Subsequently the German bait
talions along the Russian battleline
were increased by the addition Of
more than 100 battalions, bringing
the total there to 965 on Sept. Of
this year These were divided into
90 divisions Of three regiments each.
During this movement the battalions
on the western front were reduced to
1863, divided into lat divisions and
that is believed 20 have been the
number on the German western front
on Sept. i.
These figures do not include any
German troops on garrison duty in
the interior of the country nor those
maintaining lines Of communications.

ITALIAN CABINET FAILS

5oseIIi Ministry's Downfall Aserib'
ed to General Food Crisis
In Italy.
Nv Assoclated Press.

Rome, Thursday, Oct. 25.-The
government was defeated in the
chamber of deputies today when a
vote of confidence failed by 314 to 96.
The Italian parliament opened its
session less than two weeks ago. A
dispatch from Turin, on Oct. II, said
that the position of the government
was endangered because of the
serious riots in Turin during the
latter part of August and because
of the general food crisis throughout
Italy. The food controller, Giuseppe
Canepa, resigned because OF the
food situation. The dispatch said
that the government would be called
upon by parliament to Justify its
action.
The Rome correspondent of The
Petit Parisien, reported Thursday
that political circles in Italy were
convinced that Minister OF the In
terror Orlando shortly would be call
ed upon to form a national ministry.
When the Salandra ministry re-
signed in June, 1916, it was sue
ceeded by the present Boselli cabinet,
which was reconstructed June 16.

Washington, Oct. 26.-In a state

situation, Food Administrator Hoov-

ton and effect economies so as to
feed the allies from this continent
without sending a ship farther afield
than the American Atlantic seaboard.
Ships, wheat and hogs are the great
needs emphasized by Mr.. Hoover. He
said deepest concern had been caused
by the fact that in spite OF high
prices. this country's pork consump-
ton had increased during the war
until production had been outstrip-
ped; a situation that must be chang
ed.
IF we discontinue exports, Mr..

The ready response Of every indi-

The three generals in the Fargo cam
