u. S. Army Is a Bluff,

PARIS, Nov. 22.-The news Of Amer
lean troops in the trenches is received
scornfully in Germany. The "Leip-
Tiger Neueste Nachrichten" says:
"Filling a trench full of recruits
does not mean being able to hold it,
The same paper adds
"The only real help would be an
army Of a million men, and that Amer
lea can't get over. We will wait in
perfect tranquility, secure in the good
old German saying that bluff gets you
nothing"

MYTH one exception, all is we'll at
w most of the training camps
where America is making SOL
Giers Of civilians. But this one ex-
oeption is vital. 1t forms the essentia!
difference between soldiers and civil
ians. The exception is rifles.
More than two months have passed
since the first two contingents Of men
chosen under selective draft we're or
dcred to report at the sixteen Nationa!
Army environments. Most of the men
in these camps to-day have never fired
a rifle. Thousands of our soldiers in
training have whitfield their own
dummy rifles from scraps of lumber
left by carpenters at work on their
barracks.
"Whittle your own" seems to be the
War Departments present solution Of
the rife shortage as applied to the
half million men called to the colors
under selectiye service.
Krag rifles, veterans of the Spanish
American War, are standard equipment
for the National Army camps. Dis
carded for our regular forces years
ago, they serve as substitutes for mod
ern equipment as far as they 60. They
DO not, however, go far.
Five thousand of them have been dis
tributed at each of the draft canton
ments. There are, on an average, 30,
coo men in each camp. An equitable
distribution of available firearms en-
ables each man to experience how it
feels to carry a rife one day each
week.
How it feels to fire a rife viii be
learned later, when ammunition is
available, when rifles fit to fire arrive.
when target ranges are built. when
more months have passed.

National Army
Lacks Guns

Shortage Of small arms has made the
training Of the National Army IN the
cnntonments impossible, but 1t IS
understood that the National Guard
regiments more Immediately destined
for France are receiving the training
General Pcrshing wants them TO have.
The object of getting away from de-
pendence upon the big guns in attack
is TO enable the attacking party 10
follow up its success and not be re-
strained by the necessity OF bringing
up cannon and relocating them. All at
tacks dependent upon artillery prepara-
ton have been strictly limited. Drives
have got just so far and then stopped
They never developed the capacity 10
break through and tear ahead.
The possibilities Of more mobile
offensive, not limited by the necessity
of bringing up heavy pieces hard and
slow TO move, are illustrated by this
latest drive in the Cambria sector, IN
which the work usually done by big
guns has been performed by tanks,
mobile device for attack, which de-
stroys barbed wire entanglements and
the other obstacles TO open fighting by
infantry and cavalry. The men under
General Byng gained as much ground
in a few hours as all the ofensives with

MILLION DOLLAR SCHOOL LAND
GRAB UNDER COVER
The Tribune, itself a school land
lessee at a rental $4,000 annually
below current adjacent rentals, today
didn't print a line of news - not a
whisper about the speech in Chica-
go Federation of Labor meeting yes
terday where Victor OlandeT, secre-
tary Illinois Federation of Labor, dis
cussed a big school land deal now,
taking shape in the school board and
state legislature.
Olander showed that passage Of
Sen. Percy Baldwin's bill in Spring
field will open the way for the school
board to sell an entire section of
school land in Clearing.
The Chicago Belt Line railroad,
owned by Armour and Marshall Field
estate interests, has now a short
time lease on part of the land
THE section is said to be worth
S1,00O,0OO," Olander said. q think
it is significant that Sen Baldwin,
the author of the bill, is in the real
estate business in that district"
AS things are now, the city coun-
Gil has power to say yes or no on any
deal of the school board for selling
public school land. The Baldwin bill
would take this power away from the
city council and place it fully and IN
restTictedly in the hands of the
school board Olander pointed to the
secrecy with which the Baldwin bill
was prepared, how its Introduction
was a surprise and how public hear
ing on it has been suppressed.
Unless something is done at once
the public schools will be despOiled
of land worth $1,OOO,OOO. There are
forces on the board Of education who
believe much of this land should be
sold 1t has been advocated openly
during the present administration Of
the schools"

SLOWLY POISONED?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of govt and rheu-
matism, that this uric acid poison is
deposited in the joints, muscles, or
nerye-sheath. By experimenting and
analysis at the Surgical Institute in
buffalo, NJ Y, Dr. Pierce discovered
combination of native remedies that
he called Anuric, which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and in this
way the pain, swelling and inflamma-
ton subSide. If you are a sufferer
from rheumatism, backache, pains
here or there, you can obtain Anuric

and get relief from the pains and ills
brought about by uric acid. @.=.
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due
to dropsical condition, often caused
by disordered kidneys. Naturally
when the kidneys are deranged the
blood is filled with poisonous uric acid,
which settles in the tissues of the
feet, ankles, wrists or back as uratic
salts; or under the eyes in bag-like
formations. .<.. d.. +
1t is just as necessary TO keep the
kidneys acting properly as to keep the
bowels active to rid the body of
poisons. Ii.
The very best possible way to take
care of yourself is to take a glass of
hot water before meals and an Anuric
tablet. In this way it is readily dis
solved with the food, picked up by
the blood and finally reaches the kid
neys, where it has a cleansing and
tonic effect.
Step into the drug store and ask for
50-cent package of Anuric, or send
