Agree on National Assembly.
Berlin, Nov H.-The events of the
last few days, eliminating Monday
in the meeting of the heads of the
various German states at Berlin,
have indicated that with the excep-
ton of the numerically unimportant
Spartacus group, there is complete
agreement in Germany that a ma
tional assembly must be held.
While the majority socialists and
burgeois desire the assembly to be
summoned as speedily as possible,
the independent socialists take the
stand that the introduction of social
istic reforms must be brought
about first. The independent socia :
lists desire that when the assembly
eventually comes into being it shall
find itself faced by collection of
reforms so firmly established that
it cannot undo them.
In their efforts to postpone the
summoning of the assembly the inde-s
pendent socialists are supported by
the Spartacus group, who oppose
the assembly altogether.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that | know of
has so large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that, SO many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & CO., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale

lie helped to dig II out and got II into
action against the advancing enemy.
The post lay In communication
trench that led to the hostile lines,
and the enemy were coming down the
trench and across the open. No doubt
the burial of the gun HAD something to
do with the fact that II jammed and
stopped firing. There was nothing now
to hold the enemy. Sergeant Hobson
had been wounded, but he told the gun
ner TO correct the stoppage, and rushed
forward. Single handed. he fought the
enemy with bayonet and dubbed rifle
until at last he was killed with rifle
shot.
But his bravery had saved the situa-
alton. The Lewis gun again came into
action and held the enemy until rec
forcements arrived, when the attack
was completely defeated.
1t sometimes occurs in difficult.
situation that one man will stand ont
as born leader He is the man of the
party who understands the position
and Is quick to seize the most meager
opportunity that presents itself. Ii Is
apparent that Lance Sergt John Moy-
ney of the Irish guards Is such a man.
This Irishman, from Rathdowney, in
Queens county, won the Victoria cross
for most conspicuous bravery and not
little ability as leader.
He was in command of Is men form"
ing two advanced posts. With no wa
ter and little food, he held the posi-
ton for 90 hours, though surrounded
by the enemy. The morning of the
fifth day, greatly superior force Of
the enemy advanced to dislodge this
party, which was apparently thorn
in their flesh. Sergeant Mooney or
dered his men out Of their shellholes,
and taking the initiative, attacked the
enemy with bombs. He had a Lewis
gun with his party and used 1t with
deadly effect from the flank. The enc
my got round him, but by charge he
broke through, himself leading the
rush. Halfway across the path of his
retirement was stream, and the SER
geant took advantage of this to cover
the retirement of his men. He was
helped by a Lancashire man, Private
Thomas Woodcock Between them they
held up the enemy until the whole
party had got across the stream. when
both retired under shower Of bombs.
Private Saves Wounded Man.
Private Woodcock helped the SER
geant by using his Lewis gun until the
very last moment. The enemy were
almost right up at the post before he
and his N. c. o. cleared out. The ene-
my were throwing bombs as quickly
as they could, and the BURSTS" were
all around the stream. Private Wood
cock was nearly clear of the stream
when he heard the cries of some man
left behind. A member of the party
was calling for help. In spite Of the
bombs, Woodcock waded back into the
stream and picked up the man who
was calling for help. He took him out
of the water and carried him, in broad
daylight, right across the open ground
under heavy machine gun fire; so the
entire party got safely away.
Private Thomas WoodcoCk of Wigan,
Lancashire, receives the Victoria cross
as does his N. G. O. lance sergeant,
Moyney. Their adventure is a very
fine example of the initiative and
courage Of the British soldier.
