THANKS PERSHING.

With the American Army in France
Wednesday, Dec. 12.-(E'y Associated
Press)-Field Marshal Haig, the com
mander of the British forces in
France, has expressed to General Per.
shing, in his letter, his thanks for
the assistance given by American
army engineers around Gouzeaucourt
on November 80. His letter follows:
MY Dear General Pershing. have
much. pleasure in forwarding here
with for your information copy of a
report submitted to me by General
Byng, commanding the third British
army, on the gallant conduct Of com.
panies of railway engineers OF the
United States army in and near
Gouzeaucourt on the goth of Novem.

Il desire to express to you my
thanks and those of the British forces
engaged for the prompt and valuable
assistance rendered, and trust that
you will be good enough to convey to
these gallant men how much we all
appreciate their prompt and soldieriy
readiness to assist in what was for a
time difficult situation.
II much regret the losses suffered
by these companies.

State Loses Again.
Judge Coffey denied the states mo.
ton for change of venue, holding
that this matter already had been
ruled upon, on the same motion, by
Judge Nuessle. The court sustained
the contention of Attorney Stutsman
that the legislature never intended
that the right of filing an affidavit of
prejudice against the court should lie
with the state. The judge of the dis
trict court is no less servant of the
people, elected by the people, than is
the attorney general, the court ruled,
and therefore it held the duty of the
court to ignore such affidavit, improp-
erly fled by the state.

ty citizen, who is member of the

[sLOWNESS OF DELIVERY
FAULT OF MAKERS

Washington, Dec. 1S-Delay VS. and
deficiencies in supplying the war army
with ordinance were detailed and ex.
planned today by Major.General Groz.
Ter, chief of ordnance, to the senate
military committee at the beginning
of the general inquiry planned by con.
gress into the conduct of the war
The initial hearing was public and
willb e continued tomorrow with Cen
eral Crozier on the stand. Later ex.
ecutive sessions will be held for dis
cussi0n of subjects involving military
secrets.
There is shortage of ordnance at
home for training purposes, General
Crozier admitted, but he said there is
no shortages ION the other side," and
will be none. 1t has been possible, he
said, to purchase English and French
artillery for use in Europe, and he
predicts that by next summer the
principal ordinance shortages for
training purposes would be met.
Delays in Delivery
Delays in supplying ordinance, Gen.
eral Crozier explained, have been due
to several causes, including time TAX
en- for considering estimates and ap-
preparations before congress and lab.
VI ul1ferences in private plants. He
said there is no shortage of skilled
munition labor in this country, and
told of plan to retain such labor,
which may be submitted to congress.
Contracts for ordnance let on the
"cost plus a percentage profit" plan,
the general declared, have been econ;
omical for the government
Although detailed questioning Of
General Crozier was deferred several
committee members inquired partic;
ularly regarding preparations made in
anticipation of war last spring and
appeared dissatisfied with what they
learned. General Crozier explained
many advance preparations, including
a census of munition manufacturers,
and said everything possible was done.
Question Of Clothing.
In further examination of General
Cr0zier and Of other department
heads, including Secretary Baker,
committee members plan to go fully
into the question of clothing and am.
munition, as we'll as ordnance sup
plies, and predict long inquiry.
Investigation of the navys war pre-
partitions and plans also is planned
within a few weeks. Senator Swanson,
who acts as chairman of the senate
naval affairs committee in Senator
Tillman's absence, said today that at.
ter the holidays his committee plan.

cause he wanted Judge Nuessle to try

Poisoned by Thousands!

The victims Of administration are
many thousand every day. By reason
of the toxins, or poisons, bred in the
intestines, these poisonous bacteria are
sent all thru the blood channels and the
victim feels tired, sleepy and headachy,
or the brain doesn't work as usual. The
best treatment for this is to drink hot
water before breakfast -. plenty of
water all the day long. And procure a
supply of pheasant Pellets" made
of May apple, leaves of alloes, etc,
with no calomel and entirely vegetable,
which can be obtained at almost any
drug store for Is cents vial. Invented
BY Dr. Pierce forty or fifty years ago.
Equally important is it to cleanse ki1-
news and bladder, and drinking plenti-
fully of pure water will cleanse them to
a certain extent Then obtain at the
drug store little Anuric. This is to
be had in 5o-cent packages at almost any
pharmacy. Anuric should be taken be-
fore meals and you will soon find the
wonderful effects, as it is many times
more potent than lithia and seems to
dissolve uric acid as water does sug;r.
