HOW IT HAPPENED.

Mir. Ashelman is only one of thousands who suffered for years, owins 70 the gen eral belief in the old. false theory that Uric Acid" causes rheumatism. This er- roneous belief induced him and iegions of unfortunate men and women to take well attempt to put out fire with oil as to try and get rid of your rheumatism, neuritis and like complaints, by taking treatment supposed to drive Uric Acid out of your blood and body. Many physicia 5 and scientists new know that Uric Acid never did, never can and never will cause rheumatism; that it is a natural and nee essary constituent of the blood; that it Is found in every newborn babe. and that without it we could not live!

LONDON, Sept. 23.-Reforc the Hin
denburg line the fighting has been only
local, but these small enga gemcnts lack
none of the violence of the larger op-
eratlons which took place earlier in the
week.
Rawlinsons and Byng's men have
their teeth IN the Hindenburg line and
nothing has been able to shake their
grip.
With important operations continu-
Ing in five theatres, military leaders
are cro~dine the enemy hard in the
closing days of the 1918 campaign.
Other years found the enemy stronger
i'll the fall and executing spectacular
manmuvres, such as overrunning Serbia
in 1915, Rumania in 1916 and Northern
Italy in 1917. The moral effect of a
smart finish TO a campaign has never
been more important than this year,
when Europe is facing the unplea SAINT
winter Of the fifth year of the war.
General Allenby, one Of the best Brit
lsh cavalry leaders, whose work in
France was Of the highest order, is
winning fresh laurels in Palestine, and
victory over the Turks that must open
the way to great strategic possibilities.
North of Jerusalem the British army,
composed largely of Australians and
Indians, has cut it's way through the
Turkish lines from the coast to the
Jordan, and apparently has trapped a
large enemy force of more than twenty
thousand. Cooperating with Allenby
is an Arab force. which cut the Hedjaz
railway, one of Turkeys lines of COM
municatlon.
Several weeks of fighting weather re-
main possibly ten-and once Allenby
has captured the Turkish army an ad-
vance to Aleppo. some three hundred
miles to the north, becomes possible.
This campaign, valuable as it is from
a military and from a political stand
point. is being conducted without ma
terially weakening operations in the
main theatre. The Indian troops can
fight in Palestine and Mesopotamia,
whereas climatic conditions in France
arc against them.
and the French are driving back the
dsorgani0ed and dispirted Rulgar
army, is another surprisingly fine sue
cess. The Entente is rapidly achieving
what it failed to accomplish in former
years with greater forces. Reorgan-
lied states, rested and strengthened,
are fighting with all the gallantry and
determination they showed earlier in
the war. French, British, Italians and
Greeks, stretching eastward from Mon
astir to Lake Doiran, arc helping the
Serbs expcl the Bulgarians from posi-
| tions they occupied, with the, assist
ance of the Germans, in 1916. Ulti.
mately the Entente troops hope to re.
cover all of Macedonia and to invade
Bulgaria.

AMSTERDAM, Sept % - German
Vice Chancellor Won Payer has sud
denly returned to Berlin from Stutt-
CART, where he has been spending part
of the recess of the Reich5tag, and the
fact is regarded here as sn indication
Of impending changes in the govern
ment. There is possibly some confir-
nation OF this in statement in a
Leipzig paper, which has been partially
accepted by the "Vossische Zeitung,"
that the Social Democrats have agreed
to enter the much talked Of combina-
tion on certain conditions.
One is that paragraph &c" Of the
constitution, which makes it impossible
for a member of the Rcicastag also to
be a member of she Bundesrath, shall

be given two or three places in the
government, and that Ebert or some
other prominent party member shall
become State Secretary, or that they
obtain some other important post.

The Reichstag meets on Tuesday. The

their former cooperation with the ma.
jority, from which, it will be remem-
bered, they withdrew in consequence
of differences regarding the great
strike at the beginning of the year.
The nation is at a loss as to what
is likely to be tho outcome of these
deliberations. No one even in Ger
many ventures a forecast. There is
nothing in the situation quite so clear
as the fact that Germany, at an hour
more critical than any in her history,
as many of her papers have been de-
claring, is at a loss TO decide what
issues present the greatest danger.
