their maximum extent in the 1917

The German main Headquarters, ac-

whole western front, Is better situat-
ed for control Of the operations along
the southern sector Of that front than
was the former site.
On the surface there are indications
that the purpose of the Somme re-
tirement appears to be developing not
a scheme for bringing on great
open field engagement at that partic-
ular part of the front, but to avoid the
impending onslaught by the mighty ar
ray Of Anglo-French artillery massed
on that section and to delay a renewal
Of an AngloAFrench offensive by the
time required to advance the big guns
to the new line.
Recent references to the retire
ment received here or expressed by
German military critics turn on the
ability OF the new line to resist the
battcring OF the Entente offensive and

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY v. NJ. PIERCE, NJ. d.

The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood for .
hundred years.
In recent years investigation by means
of X-rays, the observations of scientists
such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fow-
Ter, Hawk, prove that an abundance of
water taken during digestion is neces-
sary in good bodily housekeeping. Drink
plenty of water with each meal. Do not
drink ice-water at any time.
If your kidneys are sick, or you
suffer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back of
the neck, take little Anuric before
meals. This can be found at any good
drug store. Therefore my advice to
young or old is, always drink plenty of
pure water. And for long life occa-
sionally take tablets of Anuric three or
four times day.

GERARD ON THE JOB.
When Ambassador. Gerard learned
about the demonstration" he went to
the statue and from there Immediately |
to the foreign office, where he saw
Secretary Of State Won Jagow. Gerard
demanded instantaneous removal of
the wreath. Won Jagow promised an
Investigation" Gerard meanwhile be-
gan a personal investigation Of the
League of Truth" which had pur-
chased and placed the insult there.
Days, weeks, even months passed.
Won Jagow still refused to have the
wreath removed. Finally Gerard went
to the foreign office and told Won ia
gov that unless 1t was taken away
that day he would get 1t himself and
send it by courier to Washington. That
evening Gerard walked to the statue.
The wreath had disappeared.

NOTING GERMAN AMERICANS.
The league made an especial appeal
to the German Americans" Ger
many, as was pointed out in a previous
article, counts upon some German
Americans as her allies. One day Am
bassador Gerard received circular
entitled, AN Appeal to All Friends of
Truth" The same was sent in Ger
man and English to mailing list Of
many hundred thousands. Excerpts
from this read:
IF any one is called upon to
raise his voice in foreign lands for
the cause of truth, it Is the for
eigner who was able to witness
the unanimous rising Of the Ger7 ,
man people at the outbreak of war,
and their attitude during it's con-
tinuance. This applies especially
to the German American.

in proportion as his character has
remained true to German princi-
pies, he finds both here and there

great nation has temporarily in
trusted it's veal and woo, support
ing few multi millionaires and
their dependents, setting at naught
-unpunished-the revered docu-
ment of the Fourth of July, 1878,
and daring to barter away the
birthright Of the white race.
We want to see whether the united
voices of Germans and foreigners,
have not more weight than the
hired writers of editorials in the
newspapers; and whether the
words of men who are independent
will not render 1t impossible for a
subsidized press to continue its
destructive work"
EXPOSING THE PROPAGANDA.
Gerard's investigation showed that
a group of German Americans in Ber-
lin were financing the League OF
Truth; that a man named William r.
Marten, who posed as an American,
was the head, and that the editors and
writer's of the publication Light and
Truth" were being assisted by the
foreign office press bureau and pro-
tected by the general staff. An Amer
lean dentist in Berlin, DR.. Charles
Mueller, was chairman of the league.
Mrs. Annie Neumann- Hofer. tho
American born wife of Neumann-
Hofer of the relchstas, was secretary.
Gerard reported other names to the
state department, and asked author
ity to take away the passports OF
1Ar
man government in this propaganda.
The league" heard about the am
bassador's efforts, and announced
that a Big Bertha" issue would be
published exposing Gerard. For sew
eral months the propagandists worked
to collect data. One day Gerard de-
cided to go to the leagues offices
and look at the people who were di-
recting it, In the course Of his re-
marks the ambassador said that II the
foreign office didn't do something to
suppress the league Immediately, he
would burn down the place. The next
day Marten and his co-workers went
to the royal administration OF the su-
perior court No. /, in Berlin, and
through his attorney, lodged a crimi-
nal charge of threat OF arson" against
the ambassador.
The next day Germany was flooded
with letters from the League Of Truth
saying:
THE undersigned committee OF
the League of Truth to their
deepest regret felt compelled to
inform the members that Ambas-
Bador Gerard had become involved
In NrixH Nha-

Were It not for the fact that at this
time President Wilson was trying t.
impress upon Germany the seriousness
Of her continued disregard of Ameri.
can and neutral lives on the high seas
the whole thing would have been too
absurd to notice. But Germany want
