HOW RUSSIAN OFFICERS
ARE HAMPERFD

The following two stories bv Asso-
ciated Press correspondents will give
a good idea Of how Russian officers
are hampered by their men:
The German soldier who is fond Of
fraternizing is more often a spy. ac-
cording to a diary found on a captur-
ed TeutOn sergeant, says a Petrograd
GaZeta correspondent at the front.
Only those German soldiers qualified
for their acuteness in observing are
allowed to fraternize with their Rus
sian opponents, this diary shows. The
document disclosed that its writer had
been supplied with several bottles of
vodka, which with characteristic Ger
man thoroughness had been specially
brewed for distribution among the
Russians. The diary contained
minute record of the fraternizers'
acts and observations, carefully head
ed, sub-headed and numbered. Among
the headings were: Questions and
Answers About an Armistice": "Con-
ditions of the Russian Army; "Atti-
tude Toward Peace Talk; Invita-
tons to Future Meetings" Among
tie entries were: Russians warned
US that their artillery was about to
fire.; white peace poster pasted
up; and, Russians report they will
not listen to orders to attack u.s."
A story of the fraternizing of the
German and Russian troops along the
east front is told by a Swedish jour
nalist. The usual daily visits were
going on, he says, and all was peace
full when the Russians suddenly began
firing furiously from one section of
their trenches. A German officer ran
over and called out Indignantly,
what do you mean by shooting with
ball cartridges!"
A Russian officer explained apollo
getically, "The colonel has just come
| up for inspection. but he'll be going
away in a minute"
| When the Associated Press CORES
pondent was at the front a German
major told how one of his officers was
shot through the leg while walking in
front of the trenches at time when
by the custom of that period, neither
side was supposed to fire. He made
indignant representations about it
later to the Russians, and was told
that party of high officers had visit
ed the trenches and the soldiers had
to shoot.
"But even at that" said the major
''the fools might have fired high"

The war department has decided
that negroes shall train in the same
national army camps with the whites.
We question the wisdom of the de-
cision, but since it has been made it
lis the duty of every loyal American to
try and make the experiment a sue
cess. We hope that our Florida men,
Iif they find themselves camped next
to negro regiment, will treat the
negroes just like they should treat
| them at home-that is, with Justice
and with kindness. In doing this. it
is not needful for any white soldier
to cross the color line. The negroes
at home generally want white men
: for their friends, and most of the
negroes in the army-the southern
negroes, at least will feel lot bet
ter if they think the white men around
them are their friends. And if the
day of battle comes to both, and some
white regiment hard pressed has a
negro regiment come to its help, the
dark faces under the old flag will look
more friendly and welcome than the
whitest skin under the kaiser's blood
stained banner. The negro is Ameri-
can all thru. He isn't giving aid and
comfort to the pro-German nor the
pacifist, and will proudly and gladly
do his bit for his native land.

THE STAB IN THE BACK
New York Herald)

New York Herald)
Over the seas, in the fields of France,
| Where the morning sunbeams loved
to dance
Three years ago mid the fruit clad
trees,
And the wheat heads bent in the sum-
mer breeze,
Death stalks today Ger the trampled
grain,
And streams run foul with the blood
of the slain.
But the Kaiser's hordes with the iron
heel
Have failed to crush the hearts of
steel
That bar the invaders onward track
God pity the wretch who stabs in the
back!
Mothers starving on Belgium's plains,
Children cold in the drizzling rains,
Of husbands and fathers and homes
bereft,
Only hunger and sorrow left,
Are gazing yearningly into the west;
And hope leaps hot in each trembling
breast
When they hear the roar of distant
Of England or France-Ah, one by
one
The strained cords snap and the
gaunt forms fall
Ere help can come to the weakened
call.
But into the jaws of that gaping hell,
Furne of poison and bursting shell,
The soldiers of Freedom press a-main
Nor shrink from the Zeppelin's deadly
rain
Till they bring the day when the sun
shall dance
Once more on the fields of happy
France
And martyred Belgium find release.
For justice, righteousness and peace
Brave men rush into the chasm
black
God pity the wretch who stabs in the
back!
Over the seas, ERE falls the snow,
| Hundreds of thousands. our boys will
go.
Eyes that CLEAN with the joy of
health,
Sons of poverty, sons of wealth,
| Brothers all in their mission high,
Ready for Freedoms life to die.
/ May Heaven smile on each strong
young heart
! AS off to the field of fire they start.
Bravely they'll face the rifles crack
| God deal with the wretch who stabs

work properly throw off the uric acid poison
consequently uric acid crystals deposited in and

Hague has said that " govt is rheumatism, and
rheumatism is govt" If uric acid is formed in excess
within the body it is passed the kidneys, which
act filter pass off this poison If the is
excreted by the Kidneys it is distributed thru the

Consequently must do everything to throw off this
uric acid poison and simple methods best. Flush
the kidneys by drinking six eight glasses of water
between meals During winter months the circulation
is apt to be sluggish and the blood retarded.
Eat less meat, drink water, and take ANURIC
(double triple strength) after each meal and at
bed time for several weeks time and you will be
free from uric acid and the diseases that follow.
The urine is often cloudy, full OF sediment;
