Berlin, via Sayville wireless, Feb. 2S.
-"I In the Ancre sector infantry en-
gagements in the forefield of our ,posit-
tions took the course desired by our
command" declared today's official
statement.
"EnGlish accommodating advances
against some places on the Artois front
were repulsed,'' the statement CON
tinued. "West of the valley of the
Aisne, one of our river projections was
surprised by the French, but by a coun-
ter thrust the outpost position and the
garrison came into our hands again.
"'On the left bank of the Meuse,
French partial attacks failed"
The quotation in the first paragraph
of the above is the first statement that
could be construed as a reference to
strategic maueuvers in the section in
which British reports have recently in
dicated a German retreat.

CALOMEL TODAY,
 SICK TOMORROW Dose of nasty calomel makes you sick and you lose a
 days work

Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Cal omel acts like dynamite on sMgglsn liver When calomel comes into con tact with sour bile it crashes into it. causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, consti- pated and all knocked out, just go to of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dan gerous calomcl. Take a spoonful and if 1t doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, Dodsons Liver Tone yor will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleas ant and safe to give to children; they like ir.--Ady.

Cost to Be Approximately S4,OOO,OOO, Atmospheric Nitrate Being Contem-
 plated for Present
SITE NOT SELECTED; CABINET COMMITTEE
 STUDIES ENGINEERING
Production Plants Do Not Involve Use of Water Power, But Will Use
 New Process

Washington, July 16.-Sec- retary Baker announced that plants for the production of nitrate from atmospheric nitro gen would be constructed i'm mediately at a cost of about S4,OOO,O00, and that water power would not be used. Sites have not been selected.
 Discussion by localities desiring to be considered as possible sites is closed temporarily, the announcement says while the site committee of cabinet or hcers is continuing engineering studles.
 It has been assumed ever since the great nitrate project was proposed that a vast supply of waterpower would De needed. Consequently sites with water power have been supposed to be the Muscle Shoals of the Tennessee river was one of the places most strongly urged during the debates in Congress
 Congress appropriated $20,000,00o for the project Apparently the entire expendi- lure contemplated by the war department Is one-ffth of that sum.
 Secretary Bakers statement follows:
 By direction of the President, certain plants will be immediately constructed for the manufacture of nitrate from at nospheric nitrogen. The production plants to be constructed do not involve the use of waterpower, but use a process which is modification of processes previous ly known, and the total expenditure in7 Nolved in these projects is about @'9eo'- GOO.
 "Notl7ing further can be said at tms time about the process or the tocatlon of the works which are to be construct ed. Of the total amount appropriated by Congress. namely $20,0o0o0o, substan- italy a6ooo,0OO remains undesisnated as to it's expenditure by the President
 The committee consisting of the Sec retaries of War Interior and Agriculture to which the President referred the ques- tion of the selection of a site, or sites for the development of waterpower, has made no report to the President on that subject, puu IS ehsa9su III tie Ah'NiHe v further engineering studies, and the sub feet is temporarily closed to further dis cussion by localities and communities de- siring to be considered as possible sites for tfse plants
 Informally officials explained that to- days announcement did not mean that the idea of building a waterpower nitrate plant was permanently abandoned, al though it would not be pressed for the present.
