Few folks suffering from kidney and

the healthy man nature provides an
outlet for this poison. Those in ILL

drive this death-dealing poison from
the system. For over 200 years GOLD

HUN SEA RAID
COMING, SAYS
U. S: OFFICER
Sortie May Be Planned 10
Prepare People for Big
Loan Pending.

Germany plans spectacular naval
raid. soon to come, according to the
prediction yesterday Of an American
naval oficer Of high rank.
The German admiralty. 1t was stated,
regards a move OF this kind impera-
tive in justification of a large naval
budget about to be asked Of the
Reichstag.
Profiteering by producers Of raw ma
terials, 1t is said, has severely taxed
the funds voted the German admiralty
for submarine construction. Stronger
destroyer fleets and replacements for
lost U-boats have forced the German
government again to ask large naval
appropriation.
Similar Opportunities seised.
The German militarists have always
seized upon the occasion Of army sue
cesses to bring forward the financial
needs Of the fighting forces. It was
believed that the drive In France would
be sufficient to arouse a spirit Of pa
triotism which would not balk at vot-
ing more funds for the navy. The
attitude Of the German people. a. re-
hCCbCu NAiC hO"6papCE1 EOGCANSo AA
neutral countries. indicates, however,
that German leaders are fearful lest
the failure of Hindenburgs offensive
will defeat the pending financial bill.
THE history OF the war clearly in
dicates that German leaders must con-
slider the advisability of a naval dem
officer yesterday. The British high
a
naughts now in the war zone are pre-
pared for such action. Since the day
the war opened the men OF the British
and French navies have been eagerly
awaiting the day that saw Germany
be forced to make a diversion by sea.
None Doubts Result.
"No naval man for an instant
| doubts the result of such an action.
| Nor can we believe that Germany
pins any hope OF success in a dash
toward England. The results of
such a foray would be published
by German papers in language de-
| signed again to deceive the public.
II q sea fight could be staged
which would permit the Germans to
regain their ports without losing
the entire squadron sent into the
battle, reports of another great
naval victory would be sent through
out the country and the resulting
| flush of pride and patriotism would
be cleverly employed in obtaining
the passage OF the naval bill"
London papers recently described
the royal reception given five Amer
ican battleships at a port in Scot
land and the navy officials believe
that these vessels will be given a
place of honor in the battle line of
| the British fleet.

ERSHING ON
tA!sUALTY LIST
{ Of Staff Requires Au-
tiization Before Giving
Names to Public.

Csneral March, Chief Of Staf, ca
bed General Pershing yesterday to
advise him whether the regulations
issued from the latter's Headquarters
prohibit the publication Of the army
casualty lists.
The regulations sent over by Cen
eral Pershing were construed liter
ally by General March. He took the
ground that the word persons" in
the regulations included killed and
wounded in battle or by accident and
that the Stan here was not author
lied to give them out.
Some of the officers here did not
agree with General March. They
held that the order should be con-
strued literally and not literally.
Their argument Is that lists of killed
and wounded cannot give any tip as
to troop movements or immediate
military designs or policies on the
front.
General March, however. said that
1t would require a construction by
General Pershing himself, but that un-
ill an answer was received he could
not change the rule. General March
has constantly stated: Il am only
obeying orders"
One OF the high officers Of the Army
said that the regulations recently
sent over by General Pershing were
prepared here substantially three
months ago and were o KID by Sec
retary of War Baker. Mr.. Baker, 1t
was stated by this officer, always
held that all matters affecting the
relations Of Pershing's army to the
a5llies should be given out In the
first instance and only by General
Pershing. The last ordersHof General
Pershing seem therefore to be the re-
suit of a conference in France of the
Secretary and the Commander in
Chief on the field.

Army Medical Corps ofzeers esti-
mate that vaccination against typhoid
hss saved the lives Of about n,ooo
American soldiers in the first year Of
tie war. Figures compiled today
show that very few soldiers died from
typhoid fever during the past year.
In the year of the spanish-American
war the death rate from typhoid
among the soldiers was thirty-three
in every thousand. 27H men sue
cunbinx to the disease. Had this
rate prevailed during the past year
the United States forces would have
lost 2l.0o0 men. -
The stamping out Of typhoid as a
menace to q modern army is due al
most entirely to the enforced yaceina-
tion Of every san who bears arms

diseases contracted from impure
drinking water. The greatest care
has been exercised IN obtsning water
Of greatest purity.
At the request of Gen. Pershing

France. The wagons were designed

soldiers drank large quantities of
water while on the march. but the,

lection to the new wagons, is that
bright red paint is used in marking

have been subjected to such a con-

The danger of Bolshevik propa-

described by the Americans Just back

America and wish to return to spread
Bolshevikism In the United States. A

lieved, are many Of Lenine's agents.
