Zurich = Kiev newspapers receiv- ed here describe an all-day battle be- tween the anarchists and the Bolshe- wiki at Moscow, resulting from the imprisonment of 400 anarchists in the Kremlin. The fighting was caused by a refusal of the anarchists to surren- der great quantities of munitions and machine guns. The Bolshevik forces stormed the places where the muni- tions were stored.

WILL WAIT UNTIL AMERICANS ARE A COMPLETE, POWERFUL
 SELF-SUPPoRTlNG ARMY.
ALLIES STRATEGY EXPLAINED
German Commander, Seeing How Nearly He Is Delivering Himself to Allied Reserve, Has Been Com
 peIled To Call a Halt.

Ottawa.-So confident is the enten- te of it's ability to withstand any drive the Germans can launch that 1t has army until it become a complete and powerful force, according to a cable summary of operations on the West ern front, received here from the War Committee e tihe British cabinet.
 "The position now is," said the summary" that the Germans, deter mined to concentrate every available unit on one enormous offensive, are draining their country dry to force a decision before it is too late, while the entente are so confident that if they were given the choice of a small i'm mediate American army for defense or waiting till they are reinforced by a complete powerful, self-supporting American army, they have chosen the latter.
 "To the sledge-hammer uses of masses of men by the enemy the all lies are opposing the strategy of meet ing the blow with the smallest force capable of standing up to the shock, while keeping the strongest reserve possible. Troops in the wings are permitted to give ground within linn it's whenever the enemy has been made to pay greater price than tho ground is worth, the whole aim being to reduce the enemy to such a state of exhaustion that our reserve, at the right moment, can restore the situa- tion."
 "The German commander, seeing how nearly he is delivering himself to the allied reserve, has been compelled to accept temporary failure and call halt. His position is tactically expos ed in two dangerous salients on wa ter-logged ground. His countrymen are dangerously dissatisfied at the immense pice paid for his failure to terminate their sufferings. His allies are on the verge of quarreling and daily exhibit their growing dislike and distrust of the taskmaster who robs them of their lives and food.
 His reserves have nearly reached complete exhaustion. Those of the Franco-British are still in being, while the American preparations de- velop The time draws closer when defeat is inevitable. Therefore, he must renew the offensive. His prepa- rations proceed feverishly, but it takes months properly to organize such an offensive. He must be satisfied with what he can do in weeks. We may, therefore, expect a renewed, furious onslaught before long. The enemy is so committed to his strategical plans that we may await his main blow on the Arras-Amiens front while neces- sity compels him to improve his posi- tion in the Lys sector

CaIomel Today! Sick Tomorrow!
 Guarantee Dodson's Liver Tone
Don't take nasty dangerous calo1nel when bilious,

Calomel makes you sick; you lose a days work. Calomel is quicksilver and it salivates; calomel injures your liver.
 If you are bilious, feel lazy, slug gish and all knocked out, if your bow els are constipated and your head aches or stomach is sour, just take a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone instead of using sickening, sali- vating calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone is real liver medicine. You'll know it next morning because you will wake up feeling fine, your liver will be work ing, your headache and dizziness gone, your stomach will be sweet and bow els regular. You will feel like work ing. You'll be cheerful; full of vigor and ambition.

Your druggist guarantees that each spoonful will start your liver, clean your bowels and straighten you up by morning or you get your money back. Children gladly take Dodson's Liver Tone because it is pleasant tast- ing and doesn't gripe or cramp or make them sick.
 I am selling millions of bottles of Dodson's Liver Tone to people who have found that this pleasant, vege- table liver medicine takes the place of dangerous calomel. Buy one bottle on my sound, reliable guarantee. Ask your druggist about me.-Ady.-

word, to come to America for a Sc
ries OF lectures in the interests of
the Red Cross. His first addresses
at San Francisco were heard by
more than 10000 people. He met
with similar successes in Reno, Salt
Lake City, Denver and finally in
the national capital.
Although suffering from his ply
sical disabilities, Skeyhill announc-
ed his intention of inaugurating
an individual drive with the object
of raising a million dollars for the
Red Cross. He had been afflicted
with violent headaches for more
than a month. In San Francisco
he had been obliged to go to a hos
pital, in Reno he had bled nearly
to death from hemorrhages, and in
Washington he suffered greatly
from pains in his neck.
How Sight Returned.
\ Washington specialist found
that the vertebrae at the base OF
Skeyhill's neck had been dislocat-
ed in three places, presumably by
the shock that had blinded him. \
simple osteopathic operation was
undertaken, and as the vertebrae
were SNAPPED back into position the
sight returned to the soldiers eyes.
1t was explained by the physician
that the displaced bone had impair
ed blood circulation and nerve con-
nections with the eye centcrs Of
the brain.
As the realization came to Skey-
hill that the darkness that had hung
over him for more than two years
had been dispelled, he became sciz-
ed with an ecstatic JOY that nearly
unhinged his mind. His mind be
came a blank concerning the years
that had elapsed since his injury.
and he imagined himself back in
the bayonet charge in which he had
been wounded. His condition be
came so acute that he was removed
to hospital, but after a night 5
sleep he regained his mental poise.
Skeyhill Immediately after the
operation was able to see objects
with perfect clarity, but for several
days was afflicted with color blind
ness. This rapidly is disappearing.
and his sight is expected TO be As
good as ever in a short time. His
case is believed to be the first IN
which complete cure OF shell
shock has been effected.
The soldicr-poet will complete
his work in the Red Cross drive,
and then will try to rejoin his An
zac comrades in the trenches over
seas.
