Foley Kidney Pills always give me nrsmpt relief."-Ed velton, Rogers, Nehr. Ed Velton, of Rogers. Neb., writes: "I have used Foley Kidney Pills for backache, the. result of catching cold which settled in my back. Foley Kidney Pills always give me prompt relief and l can cheerfulIy reconl- mend them"
 The reason Foley Kidney Pills act so satisfactorily is because they neu- tralize and dissolve the poisonous waste matter that remains in the kieod because the kidneys do not do their work properly in flterfng and casting out from the system uric acid and other peisens.
 Relief usually follows in a few days and such symptoms as pain in the sides or back, sti1 joints, sore muscles. rheum atism. too frequent action of the bladder at night. and other painful and annoying ailments disappear. Foley Kidney Pills con tain no harmful ingredients They are safe as well as quick acting.

Massachusetts.

The good people Of Massachusetts are
preparing for their annual state cam
paign. In that old commonwealth the
public servant must give a prompt ac-
count of himself. His performances in
Office are reviewed while fresh. The
policy has merit.
Gov. Mccall will ask for third term.
His first was success, and his second is
proving SO. With such a record he has
strong claims on attention. Intellec.
tually and otherwise, he measures up to
the high standard Of the place.
He is q competent man of many gifts
His long and eminent service in Con.
gress gave him national reputation. BE
became q leader and power in the House
He spoke not often, but always well
His fairness in debate was recognized on
both sides Of the chamber. He rendered
valuable assistance to his party in the

lation enacted during his congressional
period.

two ofRensiSes, the losses Of ne lat
eighteen months have been much more
heavy on the German side, and the
kaiser's army today possesses relatively
a considerably smaller driving force.
Meanwhile British operations consist
chiefly Of trench raids, although recently
there have been indications of plan
for general offensive along the north
ern part of the line. 1t is not conceiv-
able that Gen. Haig is waiting idly while
the French are resisting the tremendous
pounding of the Ge mans. That he is
preparing a stroke on large scale is
to be assumed. The German lines can
not be stronger today than they were
in April and May, and the offensive
along the Aisne must have called for
troops from other parts of the line, with
n probable relative weakening in Bel
gium. 1t would seem to be out of the
question for the British to be waiting
for the arrival of a sufficient American
force to deliver a grand attack in uni
son. for the American troops, however
cannot be in France in suffi-
cient numbers and with adequate train
ing for major operation much before

tive. Gov. McCka has been assisted BY
Representative Mccall. Lessons learned
in this town have been applied In Bos-
ton town. Other men have found Con-
gress an excellent training school,
So strong is the republican leader, the
democrats are puzzled in their study Of
how to match him. They have some
good men. Now and then they "put
one over" But the state normally is
republican, and only quarrel in the
ranks of that party gives the other side
a chance.
Both parties are supporting the war.
Gov. Mccall was an early visitor to
Washington after war was declared, for
the purpose of informing himself about
the conntry's plans and the relations of
his state to them. Massachusetts has a
fine record as a fighter; and during the
civil war one of the most famous Of the
war governors was her John A. Andrew
In such state full of strong men,
factionism in the dominant party always
exists, and has to be watched. There
is trouble of this kind in the Bay state
at present. 1t may not, however, get
out of hand. If it should, and defeat
the party in November, the conse-
quences might extend beyond state
lines, and be felt next year in the con
gressional races. For this reason the
republican managers are trying to iron
out the wrinkles, and bring everybody to
the polls in good humor.

Three Years Of War.

Three years ago today Austria de-
clared war on Serbia and thus started
the great world war that is still raging
and has involved. altogether nineteen
nations. What at first may have seemed
but local outbreak has become uni
versal confagration, the like Of which
has never been known to mankind.
Naturally on such an anniversary
arises the question, How long will it
last7 At the outbreak of the war Lord
Kitchener shocked England by deelar-
ing that the war would continue for
three years. Today there are men who,
with some intimacy of acquaintance with
the military and political conditions in
volved, are Of opinion that it will last
for three years longer. But no man
can really foretell the end. :.
Ever since the checking Of the first
great German drive that for W weeks
threatened to overwhelm France and
put the central empires in a position to
dominate Europe in short order, it has
been recognized that this would be q
war Of exhaustion, that the side which
could endure the longest the terrible
strain Of losses Of life and drain of
treasure and shortage of food would
win. Now that the United States has
entered the war, with its enormous re-
sources of all three factors, men, money
and food, the end is more definitely
assured. Still it is impossible to tell
how long this awful experience will pre-
vail, how many months or how many
years must elapse before peace is
wrought out Of conflict, before Germany
and her allies are crushed into submits
sion to terms dictated from the battle
fields and not from the chaneelleries
Of Berlin and Vienna.

The Session,

Congress could do no better hing
than to put adjournment day entirely
out of mind. Why consider the clock
or the calendar when public business
of much moment and difficulty is in
hand, and more may follow7 Called to
legislate at time of extraordinary
emergency, Congress should hold itself
at the public's service while the emer.
gency lasts. And who may say how
long that will bes
The emergency still exists, and is de-
veloping new features constantly. The
situation of last week is not the situa-
tion of this week, and the situation Of
next week may differ radically from
the situation Of this week. And so from
week to week changes will go on.
The session is nearly four months old
At the beginning, some of the congress,
sional leaders thought that in two
months all necessary business could be
transacted. Let Congress declare war
authorize the raising of an army and
the Strengthening of the navy, and pro
vide the necessary revenue. What was
there in that program calling for SEES
sion beyond June II
August l is nearly here, and yet the
program is incomplete. It's most i'm
portant feature is still under discussion.
The supplies have not yet been voted
There is doubt even as to how much
money should be raised at this time, and
in what ways.
The beginning Of the regular session
is only four months away. That will
be very busy and interesting session
on its own account. It will have bust
ness galore to transact-business felat-
ing to the situation Of that time. So
that business relating to an earlier time
now, or later-should not be passed
along, but transacted promptly.
1t cannot be too much or too frequent
ly emphasized that Congress in session
in an emergency exerts a steadying in
fiuence on business and on public SEN
timent. The national legislature is the
national reliance. It's powers are large,
and can neither be delegated nor
usurped. It's members hold their COM
missions from the people, and are an
swerable to the people-representatives
promptly-for their performances.
II, therefore, August, September. De-
tober and November are necessary, let
them be added to April, May, June and
July, and give the people all the legis-
lation that may be required in the in
augHration of war which they through
their representatives have declared, and
which cannot be waged successfully in
other than prompt and energetic fash
ion.
But Congress must act promptly on
all matters submitted to it for the prose.
cution Of the war. Debate on war
maneuvers and the details of equipment
is not only unnecessary, but may be
harmful. The prolongation of the ses-
sion should not entail delays in making
necessary provisions.

Germans Drive in the Aisne.

While attention has been distracted
by the Russian situation from the hap
penings in France military develop
ments there have been of most inter
esting, if not decisive, character. Ger
many has been making stupendous ef-
fort to break the French line in the
region south Of Laon, carrying on a Sc
fies Of concentrated attacks equal in in
tensity to the Verdun offensive of
eighteen months ago. ALI of these at
tacks have been repulsed in the main.
Here and there the Germans have taken
advanced ground, but the French have
more than balanced such local and in
consequent losses by eventual gains on
their part in counter attacks. Through
out the operations Of the past fortnight
or more Germany has assumed a def
mite offensive, the object Of which has
been to wrest from French possession
the series Of plateaus stretching east and
west north Of the Aisne. So intense have
been the assaults that it is felt that Ger
many recognizes that the safety of the
whole line depends upon securing the
commanding positions that were taken
BY the French in their offensive of last
spring.
France appears to be holding this
ground much more easily than at Yer.
dun, where serious losses in terrain
wsre suffered before the ultimate coun.
ter attack swept the Germans back prac.
tieally to their old positions. This is
important. as it indicates that despite
tho French losses meanwhile, Gen. Pc.
tain still commands sufficient force to
resist concentrated German onsets, and
conversely that Germany does not pos.
sess tho striking power today that she
had In February, 1915, when she smash.
cd ut Verdun. In other words, judging
frem the difference in results in the
