About eleven soldiers in each one
thousand on the firing line in France
are killed in action or die of wounds
according to figures compiled by the
French high commissioner. On the
other hand, it is interesting to know
that of those in the ordinary walks of
peaceful life, nearly ten per cent. are
the victims of disease of the kidneys.
In 1916 one of the greatest life insur-
ance companies in the world paid 913
death claims where death was caused by
Bright 3 disease.
Prof. H. Strauss, M. d., of the Royal
Charity Hospital, Berlin, says, "The
cause for an attack of govt, rheu-
matism, lumbago, is Supplied by the
increase of uric acid in the blood serum,
the result of various causes, the most
frequent of which is renal. Before an
attack, one suffers sometimes from
headache, neuralgia, twinges of pain
here and there or confined to a single
locality" DR.. Levison and DR.. Strauss
both hold that long continued dis
turbance of the kidney function, result
ing in an accumulation of uric acid in
the blood serum, causes these painful

Washington. Dec. early enactment
of legislation extending the government S
price fixing power is expected by admin
istration officials to follow President VIII
sons declaration in his me sage to Con-
gress Tuesday that authority in this re-
spect is now too limited.
Under laws passed at the last session
of Congress, the government already has
fixed the prices of coal and wheat and
is controlling indirectly the prices of
many foodstuiTs An administration
measure giving it power 10 fix the prices
OF steel and iron and many other basic
materials failed of passage. Steel. iron
and copper prices. however, were fixed in
a voluntary agreement made by the war

agreement does not 20 far enough, Off

ment has no control over the prices Of
products.
Power will be sought Of Congress to
control prices not only on all the es-
sentisl raw products, but to limit the
price Of all manufacturers and dealers
and distributors as well
Grain growers are complaining bitterly
to the food administration that while the
government has set a price on wheat. il
has permitted the price Of cotton and
many other farm products even TO run

DRAFT MEN CAN co NOW.
Those Low on the List Will Be Permitted
to Proceed to Camps at Once.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Draft registrants
whose classification and order numbers
are so low that they do not fall within
the current quotas of their local boards
may at their own request be Immediately
indicted into the military service, Pro
vost Marshal General Crowder yesterday
announced.
Upon filing with his local board a
waiver of all claims of deferred CLASH
fication, man in a deferred class NAV
be examined and sent to camp immedi-
ately, although not as part of his boards
quota, as this would violate the provi-
sions OF the selective service law, which
prohibit substitution. Where the claim
has been dependency, waiver by the de
pendents must accompany that of the
registrant but waivers from children or
mentally unfit persons will not be recog-
nized.
Any registrant may enlist in the navy
or marine corps, General Crowder said.
upon presentation to a recruiting officer
of certificate by his local board that
his class and order numbers are so low
that he does not fall within the current
quota. Subsequently, upon presentation
to the board of his enlistment certif-
cate, he viii be placed in class FIVE, the
discard class, on the ground that he is in
the naval service.
The new regulations also provide that
by permission of the surgeon general of
the army and under his regulation, any
medical student, hospital inferno, dem
fist, dental student, veterinarian, vet
Urinary student may enlist in the medi |
cal reserve corps and he win be placed in

5000 of Philadelphia's 1000 Threaten to

Philadelphia, Dec. 6.--The members OF
the Patrolmen's Benevolent and Protec-
tive association, which comprises 5000
of Philadelphia 1000 policemen, may
resign in body or strike within forty
eight hours. Officers of the association
will determine whether or not to call
a special meeting at once. At this spe-
cial meeting, il is believed, the proposed
walkout will be ratified.
The mems newest grievance, the one
which may hasten such action, is the

The Organization Which Re-

to Be Rooted Out
AS SOON AS WAR
IS DECLARED
Eastern Cities Will Be First
to Come Under the
Drag Net

| Washington, Dec. president Will
sons demand of Congress for war OF
Austria Hungary and the substantial
certainty that a formal declaration viii
come probably before the end of the
week, have prepared the way for the
destruction of the Austrian spy sys.
tenn. which conveniently took the place
of the organization the Germans had per-
fected before America entrance into the
war.
All subjects of Austria Hungary in
the United States will come under the
same restrictions now placed on Ger
mans.
In many cases the ban will fall auto
matieally at the signing of the deelara-
tion of war
Immediately war is decided Austri-
ans will become alien enemies and will
be barred from approach within 100
yards of any canal, wharf, pier or dock,
or within the same distance of any ware
house or railroad terminal in connection
with the docks.
It has been battling and almost i'm
possible task to put an end to the sue
cession of pier and elevator fires by the
mere exclusion of German subjects when
the Austrians were permitted free ac-
cess.
As the United States already is in
possession of all interned Austrian ships
by purchase, except in one instance in
which ship was requisitioned, the dee
laration of war will have no effect in this
respect.
The department of justice now will
have free hand in the determination of
nests of Austrian spies.
Not only persons who are known to
be working in behalf OF the central pow
ers are to be apprehended and interned
for the period of the war, but subjects of
Austria, along with those of Germany,
who are merely suspected of such activi-
ties will be arrested.
One of the first things to be done is !
the wedding out of Austrians from mu-
milton plants and other factories doing |
work for the United States or the al |
led governments.
This is being done voluntarily by the |
in some cases. but in the |
future the government will enforce their
exclusion.
Many of the coal districts of the Unit
d States are thickly populated with
Austro- Hungarians Government off
'ials already are considering a plan to
established huge camps in the coal fields
o keep the Austrians under surveillance,
permitting them to continue their work

Ian is adopted it may be extended to

Washington, Dec, 6,-Admiral Sims,

The announcement from Paris that
such body had been formed came as a

knew it, intended to withhold the news
until further details had been arranged.
The committee will have representa-
tives of all the nations fighting the CEN

Railways in France
In Excellent Shape
American Engineers Report to
Baker, Denying Stories
of Deterioration

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.--Secretary
Of War Baker emphatically denied to
day that information in the hands Of
the War Department is confirmatory Of
rumors that the French railroads have
deteriorated TO such an extent that IL
has become necessary for American en-
CHEERS to take charge of them. Mr..
Baker stated that the railroads of
France are in astonishingly good con-
dition.
The nine engineer regiments which
already have gone to France are being
used in the reconstruction and main
tenance of the military lines behind
the British and French fronts In
France. These regiments will be with.
drawn TO the American positions when
ever the number Of American troops
in France justifies it.
Secretary Baker stated that add
tional regiments of engineers will be
organized by the department The
American engineers will construct the
railway lines in the rear of the Amer
can positions when the United States
troops occupy a portion of the French
front. They will build lines as well
from the American field base to the
front.
Mr.. Baker asserted that the American
engineers now in France are not en-
gagged in work on the French CONNER
cial railroads, being used exclusively
on the military line.

Russians, Near Riga,
Strengthen Positions

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Encourag-
ing news Of the military situation on
the Riga front was received from Pet
rograd o-day by the Russian Embassy.
Official dispatches stated that the Rus
sian troops retired a few miles after
German activities began in that sector
on August %. The Russians evacuated
certain marshy positions toward the
sea, occupying stronger places in the
direction Of Lakes Schlok and Babit.
German efforts to wrest these van
tsge points from the Russians were
declared to have all failed.
The dispatches indicated that the
German attack on the Riga front may
be only feint. This theory, il was
said, is supported by the fact that the
German navy did not cooperate with
the land forces in the attack.
No decisive result was said to have
been obtained by the Germans on either
the Galician or Rumanisn fronts. They
have been checked in both theatres by
the Russians. and the latter have bene-
fitted by the Italo Franco British often
sives, which have prevented the with
drawal of more German and Austrian
forces from the west In addition
fresh Russian and Rumanian troops
have taken the field.
