FEARS ANTI-WAR REVOLT
LudcndorG Finds German Soldiers
Talking Revolution


Gcrmany's military leaders now
have become distinctly worried over
the prospects Of revolution in Ger
many. General Ludendorff, in cap
turcd secret order, has taken steps
to employ the assistance of his COM
r,andjng officers and various govern
r. entail agencies to help him stamp out
he glowing spark which has been
seen. The order, which is more iliu-
njnating than anything which has
come out of Germany in many months,
follows:
at has come to my knowledge
through a letter addressed TO the
Roval Prassian ministry of war that
,,cn on leave have spoken publicly Of
revolution which is to break out
after the war.

MERCER NEVER LOST FAITH
Belgian Cardinal Always
Confident That God Would Save
the Unhappy Country.


Cardinal MERCER, archbishop of Ma
lines Belgium, was not actually i'm
prisoned by the Germans, but his free
dom was restricted. His offense was
the issuing of n pastoral letter to his
people in January, 1915, in which he
said: 81 have gone through most of
the places in my diocese which have
been wasted. . What l have
seen of the ruins and the ashes passes
anything that, in spite of my most
acute fears, I could ever have imag-
ined. . Churches, schools, char
liable institutions, hospitals, converts,
to a considerable number, are unfit for
use oil are in ruins. Whole villages
have almost disappeared. God
will ave Belgium, my brothers, we
cannot doubt it. Let us say, rather,
he is saving her. Is there n single
patriot who does not feel that glory
has come to Belgium? Which of us
would have the courage to tear out
the last page of our history2 Which
of us can look without pride on the
splendor of the glory that our muir
dered-country has won7"

For many years druggists nave watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,

zine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit and

cine has SO many friends.

There, it began with a roughness Of the jaws, a small cough, then a stronger fever, with a pain of the head, back and legs; some felt as though they were corded over the breast and had a weight at the stomach; all of which continued un- til the third day, when the fever went off with a sweat or bleeding at the nose.

 RULES OF GROUPING
NoNPRoDUcTivE AND NONPRloR- TIES INDUSTRIES NOT SAME, SAYS THE PROVOST MARSHAL GENERAL.

Reproductive and nonpriority in- dustries have become generally con fused, according to information sent out by the Committee on Public In formation. Washington, and the com mittee gives out statement from
 Provost Marshal General Crowder to the effect that they are entirely diff. ferent groups of industries, and that no additions mill be made to the non productive lists without ample notice.
 The nonproductiye group listed un- der the work or fight" rules have small number of occupations in which the man power within draft age could better, during the emer- gency of the war, be replaced by women or older men or boys, while the men of draft age could serve the country better by getting into either the military forces or into some other occupation The work or fight or. der does not prescribe any occupation for them to get into; it merely gives the men the option of getting out of the "nonproductiye" occupation or of losing the benefit of their deferred classification or their high order number" -,--- -~

Nor are lawyers mentioned iii the mon. productive" list; hence a lawyer de ferred on the grounds of dependency does not have to give up his occupa. tion in order to retain his deferment. On the other hand pool rooms are not on the preference list' while they do appear in the "nonproductive list": hence registrant pool room keeper not only could not obtain a priority order for the transportation of his pool room furniture. but he must either go into some other occu- patton or lose his deferment, if any.

SPANISH FLU" IS
 OF ANCIENT ORIGIN

Washington, Sept. 29.-With the ravages of Spanish influenza still on the spread, and the germ of the dis ease still eluding the scientists, there is a general impression abroad that civilization has been visited by new and dreadful malady.
 Now, there is some question as to whether Spanish influenza can be called dreadful malady.' Ger tainly it is more sinister than it's small brother, the common cold, but, by the same token, it is surely less terrible than it's vindictive sis ters, pneumonia and pleurisy. But, according to specialists in respiratory diseases, the staff of, the surgeon general of the United States army, the Public Health Service and nearly every reputable physician in the country there is no earthly reason for calling it new.

WHY IS AN EXPRESS

there should be any express com

matter Of course, but the close
scrutiny to which they have been
subjected in the last few years has
shown little reason for their exist
cncc.
The chief objections to them
have been removed. Their excessive
profits have been much curtalled by
federal regulation and their worst
administrative abuses have been cor
rected. That process may be acceler-
ated under direct federal control

THE CASUALTY LIST

The American public was sur
prised that our casualty list up 10
the signing OF the armistice Is near
" 240.OO0, with more than oZ'OoO
dead. The general impression was
that the list would not much exceed
100000. The discrepancy between
expectation and fact seems due not
10 anv attempt on the part OF Gen-
eral Pershing or the war depart
ment to minimize the losses, but 10
the heay fighting OF the Argonne in
the weeks immediately preceding the
armistice, and to the natural slow
ness in checking up and making
complete official reports.
Considered relatively TO our allies,
these losses are small. British cas-
ualties are given as more than g.
100000. with 6SS,000 killed. There
IS 10 official statement of French
casualties, but unofficial estimates
place the French dead alone at l.
10000, out OF population only two
fifths as large as ours. Germany has
lost perhaps 100000 killed.
As matters stand, the nation may
be profoundly thankful that our
losses are not larger. The majority
OF Americans had steeled themselves
to expect many hundred thousand
casualties before Germany should be
brought TO her knees and the objects
of the war attained.
