blood and cast II out in the urine. The
pores Of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed. thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become

nate this uric acid, which keeps accu-
nulating through the system, event.

military experts:
1. The Germans at the Begin
ming Of the March drive pinned
their faith to the attacks In mAssed
formations. They have learned
nothing since that time and are
still retrcating I'm massed forn,a-
lions. which are under almost
continuous flre from the rear.
2. Their attacks in the first nush
Of victory were without artillery
preparation. and they made very
little use of tanks.
8. Such attacks were counted
ON TO be followed or accompanied
by great loss OF man power. As
long ~ they were winning, the
enormous losses were regarded as
negligible both by the German stan
and by the men themselves.
4. The loss Of men now is real
lied not only by the officers, but
by the men themselves. II Is not
known by the latter where the re-
placements are to come from. and
there Ii the consequent demOrali-
zation which has turned q frenx,s,d
offensive into a rush to cover.
5. The British and Americans
have lost heavily. but nothing like
the numbers, either killed or cap
tured, or in the loss of material,
suffered by the Germans and AUS
