LUDENDoRFF RESIGNS.
Military Brain of Germany Sees Hand
writing on the Wall.

Military Brain of Germany Sees Hand
writing on the Wall.
Berne.-The resignation of General
Won Ludendorff has caused sensa-
ton throughout Switzerland and the
central empires and is commented on
as sign that German militarism is
really abdicating. Among the German
and Austrian peoples anger and indig-
nation is icreasing over the fact that
the military situation has been so long
concealed or wrongly presented.
In the resignation of General Lu.
dendorff Germany loses what often
has been described as her military
brain"
Unknown before the war, General
Erich Ludendorff sprang into promi-
nence in the fall of 1914 as chief of
staff to Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg, then general in the operations
against the Russians. When Won Hin
denburg was given the chief command
in August, 1916, Ludendorff was ap-
pointed first quartermaster general,
but his position in reality has been
chief of staff and collaboration with
Won Hindenburg.
Soon after his appointment as first
quartermaster general, General Luz
dendorff began to be looked upon as
the real "boss' of Germany, and was
recognized as the representative of the
pan-Germans at great headquarters.

An American and an English officer,
soaring in an airplane above the Nor
gan N. j. shell-loading plant, which
exploded and went afire recently, di-
rected the battle against the conflagra-
ton so as to check the flames and
probably prevent further loss of life
and property and to save from destruc-
ton 100000 pounds of INT which
was threatened.
The plane used came from the radio
experimental laboratory at Camp Al
fred Vail, further down on the Jersey
coast Lieut.. Cyrus F. Smythe was the
pilot and Maj. II. L. Armstrong OF the
British army, stationed at the pant
was the observer. Flying over the
wrecked works at an altitude or l,ooU
feet, Lieutenant Smythe so maneu-
vered his plane that Major Armstrong
was able to see the flames progressing
toward warehouses containing thou-
sands of tons of INT and to make out
openings in the fire and wreckaSe
through which men could be sent TO
combat the blaze and save property
While the plane was lowering over the
burning plant several terrific. eXplo-
sions hurled molten steel and blazing
debris dangerously near it and caused
conclusions that rocked the ship per-
ilousy.
Two attempts were made by air
planes to get photographs of the hre
and explosions, but though number
of exposures were made at different
elevations between 30 and 1000 feet
above the plant, the films were worth
less, doubtless through accidents TO
the trigger and shutter caused by the
intense heat.

SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms Of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be inst the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Lizards May Save Crops.

Lizards are used In Trinidad to COM
bat millions of froghoppers that are
how infesting the sugar-cane fields
These insects, which work devasta-
ton by sucking sap from the roots
snd leaves, have been known In the
island for some time, but of late they
have increased so rapidly that scien-
lists have undertaken to find means
of DISCRIMINATING them. One plant
er has established special breeding
place for lizards, which feed freely
on the froghoppers. Special precau-
tons are taken to prevent the de-
struction of the reptiles by birds or
other creatures that might feed on
them.

Consumption of beans by the United
States army averages 621a tons day.
Dried beans are a popular dish among
Uncle Sans soldiers. and they receive
the best that can be furnished. Beans
have a high value as food and are
especially suitable for men under in
tensive training, experts of the war
department have found.
All the beans required by the United
States and the allies for the coming
year will be obtained through one pur-
chaser, the food administration grain
corporation, which has made arrange
ments to inspect and pay cash for
beans in the producing fields. This
will eliminate delay in payments and
insure the purchase of beans at II
lower figure.

Officials of the United States food
administration estimate that 100000
persons eat daily in hotels, restau
rants, dining cars and other eating
places which are affected by the regu-
lations about to be enforced to save
food. one of the new rules is that an
allowance of two pounds of sugar for
each 80 meals served is to be the limit
for such establishments.
In addition to economizing food tn =
rules have for their object the simpl-
fication of service. Meat and vege-
tables are to be served on one plate,
thus obviating side dishes. There will
be lesser number of articles Of food
and reduction in the number and
sizes of menu cards. These regula.
tons are expected to save labor and
essential materials.
