MORE GAS SHELLS
Shy on High Explosives, Germany
Uses Observation-Disclosures Scarce

Canadian Headquarters in France,
Oct. 3.-The enemy early this morn
ing attempted to raid our lines in the
Avion sector but was discovered be-
fore he got to close quarters and driv-
en- off after sustaining a number of
casualties. The infantry activity is
generally less than normal but the
sound of guns never ceases. The Ger
mans are attempting more by way of
destructive shots on our batteries than
they did earlier in the season but
even in this respect they are still far
behind the British and Canadian gun
ners.
The enemy also has increased the
proportion of gas shells This may in
dictate that the chemicals from which
poison gas is made are available in
greater quantities than those required
for high explosives.
All the prisoners of good education
now speak of the growing scarcity of
war material and particularly of ar
ticles such as rubber, cotton and cop
per which can neither be produced
at home nor obtained from Germany s
European neighbors. One of the pris-
oners taken in yesterdays outpost af-
fairs said that while Germany could
not be conquered in the field she
would be forced to make peace be-
cause of her failure to obtain sup
plies

SHIPS limit ARMY
e. S. Can't Send Over More
Than 100000 Men First Yr.
''NO Need of Hysteria Over
U-BOats," Says Daniels.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Shipping ex-
perts here are more than ever con-
WINGED that America will face a dearth
as to prevent movement of more than
100000 to 100000 men by the end
of 1918
Joint warnings or Sir Joseph
Maclay, British shipping controller,
and Lord Northclfffe. publicist, that
there must be 100000 tons new
shipping annually are not unheeded
here. All government heads say
they realize that the submarine situa-
ton was and is serious.
But such men as Secretary of Navy
Daniels and Admiral Benson declare
that there is no occasion for becoming
hysterical and that the submarine
situation is more satisfactory.
One-half of 1 per cent of conveyed
ships are being lost. Practically all
ships are under the new convoy sys-
tenn.
However, as the United Press stated
on September 20, American troop
transportation to Europe the next six
months may be greatly curtailed.'
10 to is Tons for Every Soldier.
The war department has submitted
to the shipping board an estimate
that ten to fifteen tons of shipping
for every solder sent to Europe. The
governments official estimate is that
by the end of 1918 America will have
5000, 600 tons of shipping available.
From the above figures it can be
seen that the total number of men
sent to Europe before the end of an
other year is likely to be under 1,000,-
900, unless added ships can be OBJ
| tanned from outside. This is doubtful
in view of the allies own ship needs
and Lord Northcliffe'S warning vir-
tually that America must go it alone
| in the matter of ships.

FEAR WOMEN-WINE

Sammies in France.

Chicago. Oct 3.-Women and wine
in France are greater perils to Ameri-
can soldiers than German bullets, ac-
cordiEg to statements made here by
Y. NJ c. A. leaders from all over the
country.
Plans are laid to raise ss5.ooo,ooo in
November to carry Y. NJ. c. A. work
abroad in an attempt to save the SOL
diers from moral dangers.
c. Sherwood Eddy, of New York,
associate secretary of the Y. NJ. C. A.
war work council described the
dangers which surround American
troops abroad.
"A major told me. I lost more men
through women than I did from
enemys bullets" he said.
There are enough unnamable dis
eases in the armies of our allies to
curse Europe for three years." Mr..
Eddy said, 'and the same is true in
the German army.
Il have seen artists, theological
students and members of the nobility
in the isolated camps of the diseased
soldiers"

EATLESS MEAT

Meat forms Uric Acid, which

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat .eXcites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the Kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach constipation, torpid liv-
er, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary
irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces or
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
Nbined with Iithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid

Labor Leader of Australia Finds
No Room for Pacifists.

Chicago. oct. 3.-The war with
Germany is a workers war. Profiteer-

representatives had been in power
they could have done no more to Sc
cure this result. These are the be-
liefs today of Premier Holman of
New South Wales, enroute home after
visiting the front
There is only one choice before or
ganized labor" Holman declared to-
day. TT must either accept militar-
ism as a fact which is always going
to exist, or it must be prepared to
root out militarism by destroying the
military caste in Prussia"
Holman is a member of the Labor
party. and is head of a labor admin
istration in Australia. He said he had
met many American workers who
had not yet come to regard this war
as one in which they have any inter
est.
No Monarch Can Profit.
That is natural enough" Holman
declared. THE first interest of the
workers is peace always. AS a life
long representative of labor 1 have felt
it to be my first duty to be a pacifist.
But the war in which the world
is now engaged, is like the American
War of Independence and the Civil
war, a workers war. No monarch
will make any profit out of it. 1t is
likely to be fatal to many monarchies.
Certain capitalists have no doubt,
so far, made profits out of this war,
but this is being stopped. Vast en-
terprises are being taken under ma
tional control with a speed and with
a success that is clearly Fastening the
approach of the general nationalist

ALLIES IN COLLISION
Q. S. Destroyer and British Warship
Hit-Craft Restored to Service.

Washington, Oct 3.-An American
destroyer in British water recently
was in collision with a British naval
vessel which. after taking off the
American crew, towed the disa bled de-
stroyer safely to port. In announcing
the collision today. the navy depart
ment said no one was injured aboard
the Americana destroyer and that the
vessel since had been repaired and re-
stored to active duty.
Hit in a Rainstorm.
An official inquiry developed that
the collision was unavoidable, the yes
sells having come together during a
heavy rainstorm. No blame was
placed on either the American or Brit
ish vessel.
Vessel Badly Crippled.
The date of the accident was not
announced. It was learned that dry
dock examination of the American de-
stroyer revealed an immense hole in
her side, two davits carried away. the
galley and funnel broken and the fore
mast smashed. Only the fact that
the destroyer's water tight compart-
ments were closed prevented her sink
ing.
When the American vessel was
towed in, her entire afterpart was
awash. The British ship with which
she collided had her stern badly
twisted, but was not seriously dam
aged. The smash was directly due to
a pitch dark nigh tand the fact that
both vessels, according to regulations,
were proceeding without lights.

EAT u. S. TURKEY!
Festive Birds and All the Trimmings
for Sammies' Thanksgiving.
BY GEORGE MARTIN.

Washington, Oct 3.-Theres a real
American Thanksgiving dinner-tur-
key, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie
and all-on its way to Uncle Sans
boys at the front in France.
When that day dawns over there
behind the q battle front, Americas
thousands with the Stars and Stripes
will Chamber out of their bomb pits
and come trotting in from their prac-
tice trenches to the royal feast.
1t is all thanks to the big hearted
thoughtfulness of that square jawed
fighting man, Gen. John J. Pershing.
Characteristically he said nothing
about it. Even the men at the front
do not know it yet. But a whisper
of something of the sort leaked thru
via cable to the United States. And
today the war department confirmed
it.
General Pershing cabled for per-
mission to give the boys a real
Thanksgiving dinner from home, with
all the trimmings" the department
said.
It's Pershing's Party.
1t will be General Pershing's party
every slice of white meat, every slab
of pie will be strictly the grizzled war
rior's contribution thru the war de-
partment.
No Thanksgiving dinner champion
has yet appeared for the hundreds of
thousands of boys in camps in this
country. But the war department
limited they'd be taken care of too.
THE department is sending all the
turkeys and other supplies for the
dinner behind the front ITSELF" said
Captain Adams of the supply division,
quartermasters corps, United States
army, today.
The matter of turkey and Thanks

on this side has not been taken up
