r ONDON, Dec. %. "A fHamihot"
floating fort. Another and an
IL other. As far as the eye can
see they stretch in long lines, their
gray hulls merging with the dark gray
Background of lofty hills. That is the
British Grand Fleet waiting in It's
northern harbor for "Dcr Tag"
The ships and men of the Grand
Fleet are ready; they are keen for ac-
ton: they are confident. Whether the
battle comes tomorrow, next spring,
next summer Is immaterial to them
provided it does come. The sooner the
better.
They are young men in the Grand
Fleet; the ships are young. But young
and old, they are of one mind, one
thought, one desire; there must be ac-
tion; they must have their fling; they
must apply the Nelson touch-that in
describable something which makes the
possessor feel that he has an edge on
his opponent. IL the war should end
without "go" it would be a tragedy
to the Grand Fleet.
These men in the Grand Fleet are
professional fighters; they are in the
British navy for life. Since the Battle
of Jutland they have occupied grand
stand seats and have looked down on
the field of fighting; they have been
envous; they have been impatient;
they have thought long and hard. The
officers-most Of them on this side OF
forty-haye pondered over the words
Of the politicians; they have speculated
on their future; they have tried to fig
ure what niche they would fill if dis
armament on land and sea follows the
treaty of peace.

~LEAN, unadulterated nonsense
II can always get laugh from
~ me. / love it, and so do most
Americans. | remember one bit Of
Weber and Fields seriously acted non
sense that always left me gasping for
breath. Il was the silliest, most in
consequential bit Of acting that genius
ever dared TO put In show that cost
the spectator 80 a seat. 1t was prize
fight between Weber and Fields, and
one Of those matchless comedians
showed the other how to do it. They
put up their money and put on the
gloves, and Immediately the rank ANA
teur began to batter the wise one over
the head, but that was not the way to
do it. The wise one explained that
that was not at all the proper way to
do it, He explained that he would
show the poor amateur the right way.
He stood the poor amateur just where
he wanted him, turned his face at the
proper angle and then arranged his
hands. He stepped off and considered
the poor amateur, but he did not feel
just satisfied. He arranged the hands
again, placing them down at the sides
of the poor amateurs legs. Then he
told him to keep them there. Then
he stepped up quickly and hit the
poor amateur whale Of blow In the
face and knocked him clear across the
stage and into the wings. 1t was
awfully funny; every one in the house
screamed with JOY. The poor amateur
was such fine example OF simple
minded, confiding idiocy!

form relapsed into silence. Then the
muddy Tommy on the stretcher began
to humble. Atwell asked him If he
wanted anything. With a howl of rage
he answered:
"Of all the bloody nerve--do want
anything only bloody pair o.

When we came to the first aid dress
ing station we turned our charge over
TO some X. A. NJ. c. men, and, ducking
and running through the communics-
tion trench, We al last reached one Of
the roomy and safe elephant dugouts."
At last we were safe. Stumbling over
the feet of men, we came to an un-
occupied corner and sat down in the
straw. Several candles were burning.
Grouped around these candles were a
lot of Tommies. their faces pale and
frightened look in their eyes. Strange
TO say, the conversation had nothing

awful sight met our eyes. The trav-
erses were Dashed in, the fire step was
gone, and in the parados was hole
that looked like subway entrance.
There was mud and blood all around.
An officer of the Royal Army Medical
Corps and several stretcher bearers
were working like Trojans. We offered
our aid, which was gladly accepted.
Every now and then, ducking as a
"whiz-bang" or minnie" came over. we
managed to get four of the wounded
on the stretchers, and Atwell and |
carried one to the rear to the first aid
dressing station. We passed the dug
out which | had left but few min
utes before, or at least what used to
be the dugout, but now all that could
be seen was a caved-in mass OF dirt;
huge square-cut timbers sticking out
of the ground and silhouetted against
the light from bursting shells, looking
like huge giants. A shudder passed
through me as | realized that if we
had stayed in the dugout we would
have now been lying fifteen to twenty
feet down, covered by that cayed-in
earth and wreckage.
Atwell jerked his head in the direc-
tion of the smashed-in dugout and, as
was his wont, remarked:

shipping is swinging idly at anchor

according TO statement made by
August o. Ciuffelli, former member
of the Italian cabinet and member
of the italian mission to the Associat-

Greed. he said. was the moving
factor with many of the shipowners
who were waiting for higher rates.
The allies should take immediate
steps to correct the situation. Mr..
Ciuffelli said, by increasing port dues
to an almost confiscatory point for
prolonged stays and refusing bunker
coal to such ships as declined to ac-
cept carboes bound through the dan

ACID IN STOMACH
 SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloride Acid is Cause of Indigestion.

i A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion is nearly always due to acidity-acid stomach-and not, as most folks be lieve, from a lack of digestive juices. He states that an excess of hydro chloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermenta- tion, then our meals sour like garbage in can, forming acrid fluids ard gases which initiate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that leayy lumpy feeling in the chest, we erUct- ate sour food, belch gas, or haEe heartburn. flatulence, waterbrash, CT nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar- macy four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonfut in a glass of water before breakfast while it is eff fervescing, and furthermore. 10 con- tinue this for one week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutraliZe the acidity, remove the stimulate the kidneys and thus pro, mote a free flow of pure digestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sod ium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent re- suits. (Advertisement)
