one more great error in national

break, and the effect of the onslaught
will be to buoy up all hearts with the

It is certain that the Germans will
henceforth have great difficulty In
holding the latter lines, for the
French, having a full view of the
German rear, can greatly hinder com

French artillery completely dominated
the German. which was almost un-
able to reply. The proportion of sheil

whereas the proportion in this battle
was only three to one. This fact alone
attests the inferiority of the German
artillery.

Rejoicing is general within the
French lines from the highest officers

allied armies are no less gratif1ed. The
English and allied correspondents with

1t is much more potent than lithia and
many find that Anuric dissolves uric

People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as do
the bowels, need to be flushed occa-
