so perfect that the Germans

Among the prisoners are six

German forces which crossed the
Matz River, to the west OF the Disc,
on the battle front south of Noyon,
held their positions there for but a
brief period. French troops counter
attacked and hurled the Germans
back to the north bank of the river
and checked their advance toward
Compeigne.
The news from the scene of the
tremendous struggle, as told in Off
cial statements, shows that on the
fields west OF the Disc the Germans
have come to halt, for the present
at least.
The enemy has not renewed at

line, where on Tuesday a brilliant
French counter-attack swept the in

Wit the British Army in France.
Tuesday, June 1.-THE British air
service has been improving steadily
in recent days. This has been due
perhaps to an increase in men and
equipment. One famous British air
man recently destroyed three Ger
man machines within a few hours.
There have been more airplanes
flying over British territory lately
than in any other similar period, but
these enemy airmen are generally
very high in the daytime, for obser-
vation work and photographing.
Reports from British fliers who
have been sent out to assist the

sector show that these aviators
have been rendering invaluable
service to their allies. As showing
the great amount Of work they are
doing it may be stated that on June
. they fired more than thirty thou
sand rounds from their machine
guns at enemy troops and trans
ports, and dropped more than three
hundred bombs OF all sizes on mill
tary objectives. including troops.
Last Sunday II German planes
were destroyed and four others
were shot down out of control
along the British front. These are
official figures and in fairness it
must be added that many times
when it seems certain that an enc
my machine has been destroyed it is
not permitted to claim it because
there was no absolute proof. Every
machine claimed officially is known
positively to have been shot down.
There is an interesting number
of German aviators being captured
unhurt along this front.

London, June 13.-(Nia Ottawa
Speaking at a luncheon today be-
fore the Japanese ambassador and
delegates attending the lnterna-
tional Parliamentary and CONNER
cial congress, A. J. Balfour, secre-
tary for foreign affairs, declared
that Great Britain and Japan in
the war had no difference of opin-
ion, no divergence Of motives and
no ulterior designs which either
was not willing to confess to the
other. And this was the basis of
true national confidence.
The Anglo Japanese alliance,
which had done 50 much for peace
and the advancement of the world,
said the secretary, would be a rich
heritage in the future for the high
er interests which would be devel-
oped in the east. He was sure that
if the eXigencies of the conflict re-
quird call upon the allies to make
a fresh effort Japan would, as she
always has done, live up to her full
obligations.
German methods of trade were
part OF her policy of world domina
ton. said Mr.. Balfour, and this made
it the more dangerous than mere
trade rivalry to which Britain had
never objected. Germany was try
ing to use her manufacturing pow
er virtually to enslave the rest of
the world That was the problem
which must be met and solved.

KIDNEYS
WITH SALTS IF
BACK IS ACHING
Noted authority says we eat too
much meat, which clogs
Kidneys.
Take glass of Salts when
Kidneys hurt or Bladder
bothers you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the
kidneys, they become overworked
from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood, then we get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts or
IL the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimu-
late the kidneys, also to neutralize
the acids In urine so 1t no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not inJure; makes delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.
