SEEMS ANXIOUS
To MAKE STAND


With the French Army on the Aisne,
Oct. 16 (by the Associated Press y
Favored by the bad weather and bad
roads which are slowing up the adj
vance of the allied supply trains, the
Germans appear disposed to make a
stand, for the time at least, on the
line from the region north of Sissonne
to Rethel.
General Debeney's forces have made
a slight advance west of Anguilcourt,
passing the Serre, and arriving before
the marshes which the enemy is util-
iZng with the aid of well sustained
machine gun fire to stop their forward
march. The German artillery has also
increased in its activity in this sector
North of Sissonne the French
troops now are along the bank of the
drainage canal which constitutes the
advanced defense positions prepared
there as a secondary line of retire.

Further east the Germans. supports

attacked the French troops under the
command Of General Guillaumat This
reaction was of no avail, General
Guillaumcts mem maintaining their
line a quarter of a mile east of the
road from st. Germainmont to GerZl-
court
General Gouraud took Aey, on the
south bank of the Aisne southwest
of Rethel. The Germans are Smelling

ALLIES FOLLOW

Belgian Cavalry Operating in
Front, Showing That Line Is
Broken or Huns Are in Pre-
cipitate Flight,
'sr MORNING JOURNAL spec,A, LEASED wlssr

British Headquarters in Flanders,
oct. l6 (Reuter's. )-Throughout last
night in the moonlight the allies con-
tinued tirelessly to follow up their
splendid successes in Belgium.
At 0 a. m. today Belgian cavalry
patrols were reported TO be within a
kilometer of Thielt. Previous cavalry
had been reported to be working to-
ward ThOurout. The allies were said
to be more than half way through the
Wyrendael wodo and the infantry to
have reached a point near LIGHTER
velde, where they were said to be adj
vancing all along the northern out
skirts of Courtrai and through the
center to Iseghem.
Last night the Franco Belgian in
fantry were on the general line of
Boscheeweter, EdenwaIe, Zwcartegal
and HaentZe, thence to point 1000
yards east of the Thourout- Roulers
road, and to the Wynendael station by
Beve to the south of Iseghem, the
Lendelede station, Hulote and Bavin-
chove to Harlebecke.
This morning the capture of Bos-
cheeweter and Edenwalle seemed to
have been confirmed, and French
troops were reported to be along the
railway west of Litchtervelde. Ingel-
munster apparently has been occupied
and the Courtrai railway reached east
of Cappelle Ste. Catherine.
The, British were reported to be
across the Lys east of Confines, with
their posts established beyond La
BASKERVILLE.
Yesterday the Germans attacked
from Iseghem and forced the Belgian
line back to Boschmolens, but
counter attack drove them to and be-
yond their starting point. Prisoners
and guns continue to be gathered in,
but there has been no time to count
the latest captures.
Between Lens and Armentieres the
Germans continue to fall back and
the British are drawing near Lille.
During the night they crossed the
Haute Deule canal 1000 yards east of
Pont-A -Vendin, and threw out
screen of strong patrols which have
maintained harrassing touch with the
enemy. The British are reported to
be holding Pont-Sault, Fosse 2, Provin
and Santes-Lez, Haubourdin, and to-
day We're pushing towards Annocullin.
Hanvardry Chateau is in the posses
sion of the British. The weather is
fine but misty.

Edinburg, Miss.-Mrs. Lula Nc

Black-Draught has saved us many
good dollars in doctor bills, as q
great deal of sickness comes from
constipation and torpid liver, which
-. can be relieved by so simple n
remedy as Black-Draught. / praise
it to all my friends"
Torpid, or slow-acting liver, is the
commonest form of liver trouble met
with in America. The liver does not
do its duty in helping the digestion
OF food and regulating the bowels.
Thedford's Black -Draught has been
found very valuable remedy for de-
rangements of the liver and stomach,
not only in the case of this Missis-
sippi family but in thousands of sim
liar cases.

With the French Army in Europe,
oct. l6 Thy the Associated Press.)-
The entire substance of the German
armies between Cambrai and the
Meuse must pass through two narrow
routes by way of Hirson and Mezieres
These are the two lines upon which the
security of the German armies now
depends, and it is toward those two
lines that the French and Americans
in Champagne, and the British ana
French region of Cambria and GuiSe,
have been advancing.
The most plausible reason for q gen.
eral retreat of the German armies is
the necessity of reducing the distance
between them and the two points, both
of which are already remotely threat
ened, and to parry the danger of their
being bottled up and captured. The
only alternative would have been the
engagement of their entire reserves in

ment of the German soldier, disap-

him in March of an early peace; third,
to Ludendorff's tactics of attacks over

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
A WORD ABOUT THE KIDNEYS
BY Doctor WatSOn

People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter
with their lungs or heart, and we'll
they may be; but few people UNDER
stand the dangers of diseased kid
neys. These organs have a duty of
vital importance to perform, and II
they are diseased, there is no telling
how or where the symptoms may APP
pear The kidneys are filters, and
when they are healthy they remove
the poisons from the blood and puri-
fly it. When the kidneys are dis
eased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these poisons is
uric acid The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form of urate
salts--in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back-often forming bags under the
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trou-
BILE is called rheumatism, lumbago,
sciatica and backache. Finally,
come stone in the bladder, diabetes
and Bright's disease.
DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y, in re-
cent years, discovered that a certain
combination of remedies would dis
solve uric acid (urate salts) in the
system He found this combination
to be harmless, so that he made 1t
up in tablets, of double strength, and
called them Anurc Tablets They
dissolve uric acid in the human sys-
tenn as hot coffee dissolves sugar.
II you have uric acid troubles. don't
delay in taking Anuric Tablets,
which can be secured in the drug
stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he viii tell you what to eat
and how to live so that more uric
acid will not form in your system.
DR. Pierce win not charge for this
advice.
