AYSGERMAN NAVY
IS BAR TO PEACE
Member Of Congress Urges A.
lies to Exterminate Fleet
and Submarines.

The belief that the allies must first
deal effectively and decisively with the
German navy if the war is to be brought
to a successful close is being borne in
more and more strongly upon members
Of Congress and officials now in Wash
ington.
The final removal of the German grand
fleet and the German submarines from
possible operations would be followed al
most Immediately by peace. it was de-
clared today by one member of Congress
who has followed the course of the war
with the closest interest.
Need Of Immediate Action.
''If this war is not to last for many
years-as 1t must If 1t Is to be carried on
merely with the policy Of attrition-there
must be a flash OF genius somewhere on
the part of the allies said this member
today. 1.-THE United States is in this war
and must be prepared to make sacrifices
to win. Today the fleets of Great Britain,
the, United States. France. Japan and
Italy are united against the German and
Austrian navies. Great Britain Is an
island empire. and perhaps 1t might not be
entirely just to ask her to place her fleets
in jeopardy at this time.
But surely the navies Of the United
States. France. Japan and Italy could
attempt something against the German
grand fleet and the submarine bases.
and with good prospects Of success.
Something must be hazarded to win
this war, and the United States and
Japan are too far away to render eff
fective assistance Immediately through
the use of soldiers on the continent.
But they can use their navies.
Question Not a New One.
This question of a naval attack
upon Germany is not new. 1t has been
raised before. But the recent happen

qualified to be officers and placed on

The Individual Soldier.

The danger Of having SO many men
break training and having to work
back again into shape when they are
needed is an important consideration.
While 1t is admitted that the War
Department cannot consider the case
of the individual soldier. it Is also
worthy of consideration that most of
the men in the present camps are ma
ture and have family obligations. 1t
they are not commissioned In the train
ing camps and have to go back home
sponsibilitfes or seek Jobs. This can
not be done with assurance If they
have no idea how long 1t may be be-
fore they are to be called into service.
If there were any approximate estimate
called they feel it would not be so great
q hardship.

and the calling Of others for examination
for details requiring special training or
aptitude are encouraging the men at Fort
reserve officers, there Is still considerable
depression caused by the announcement
Of the War Department that only 40 per
cent of the men In training will receive
line commissions.
The War Department has not made its
purpose plain in an authorized statement
subsequently made that all qualified men
in the training camps would be held on a
reserve inactive list and be assigned as
vacancies occur. The men in the training
camps do not know from this whether
they are to get commissions as second
lieutenants in the Reserve Corps awaiting
vacancies or whether they are merely on
an eligible list
The statement has been published in
some newspapers that those on this re-
serve list may be called out in the draft
and would be withdrawn later from. the
National Army cantonments if their serv-
ices as officers were needed. If the men
are commissioned as officers. even for in
active list at the training camp. they
cannot be taken under the draft. This is
point the War Department has not made
clear. and it Is one that is Of great i'm
portance to a number Of the men.

Rundown?

Those of us who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from govt, swollen
hands or feet. There is no longer the
slightest need of this, however, as the
new prescription, Anuric, is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia, in Riding
the impoverished blood of its poisons
by way of the kidneys. 1t can be OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store, BY
simply asking for Anuric for kidneys
or backache. 1t will overcome such
conditions as rheumatism, dropsical
swellings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due to
constant arising from bed at night.
