SIGNS PEACE PACT
BUT TO RENEW WAR

Petrograd, Monday, March 4.
-(Delayed).-T official Rus
sian agency announces that
supreme military council has
been formed for the defense of
the country. The premier for
military has ssued a decree COM
manding that the entire people
be armed.
Commenting on signing the
peace treaty, the Isvestia, organ
of the soldiers and workmen's
deputies, says the purpose OF the
Lcnine government i'll agreeing
to the German terms was to give
respite to the socialist revolution
so as to enable it to reassemble
its forces for the supreme
struggle against Imperialism, and
to assist the proletariat OF other
European countries to revolt
against its opprcssors.
The Pravda comments in a
similar vein.

u BOAT WAR INTENSE.
Tonnage Is Sunk at Appalling Rate,
Briton Says.

London, Wednesday, March g.
Standard ships produced in British
shipyards in a fortnight are not
equal to the sinkings of submarines,
Sir John Il. Ellerman, steamship
owner, declared today at meeting
of the chamber of shipping. He
explained that owing to the condi-
tions under which shipowners are
carrying on trade, marine casual
ties, apart from enemy action, are
double and treble what they were
in the days before the war. He said
that the output of shipping since the
war was not sufficient to make good
the losses by marine causes alone,
leaving the losses by enemy action
yet to be made up.
Baron lnchcape, complaining OF
what he termed the unpromising
outlook, said that not a sound had
been heard along the Clyde since
noon last Saturday. 1t might be
he suggested, that no war was go
ing on and that no new ships or
destroyers to hunt submarines were
required. He said he thought more
information about shipping losses
might be given tie peop,e TO make
them appreciate the gravity of the
situation, adding:
Our tonnage is being sunk al
a rate of which the people have nc
conception. There is a curious lacl
OF realization in many parts of the
country as to the grave situation
with which we are faced"

Amsterdam, March 1.-The mys-

statement from the ducal house pub
lished in the Rheinische Westfael-

BULLETIN.
(By the Associated Press)

With the American Army in
France, March 6.-An American
staff colonel, while with French
raiding party for the purpose OF
securing information a few days
before his men took up their posi-
tions in the new American sector
on the Lorraine front, me ia Prus-
sian lieutenant in an enemy trench
and captured him. The colonel with
an American captain brought the
Prussan officer back to the lines
the Americans are now occupying
Washington, March 1.-The or
panization schedules of the Amer
lean army in France show that
General Pershing is to be equipped
eventually with artillery of all cali
bers on scale not heretofore
dreamed Of. The proportion OF ar
tillery to army rifles adopted by the
war department is greater than that
of either the British or French
armies, and the tendency of the de-
partment is to increase the big guns
Included in the heavy artillery
assigned to corps OF field army com
manders will be whole brigades OF
anti-aircraft guns, mobile howitzers
of six, eight, ten and even twelve
inch cafber, rifles of similar size
including heavy long range naya
guns; and probably as soon as they
are available, batteries OF the mon

3-LINE TRENCH METHOD
ADOPTED BY u. S. ARMY
Recruits Will Be Fed in at the
Third Line.

Washington, March 7. - Based
upon the three-line method OF
trench warfare evolved in France,
the war department, it was learned
today, has approved a plan of or
ganization which fixes six divisions
as the strength of an army corps.
Three or more corps will continue
a field army and the immediate pur-
pose of the department is to COM
plete the organization of the first
field army in France in the short
est possible time to give General
Pershing the strength to hold a
fully Americanized sector of the
front. The plan leaves to General
Pershing the determination of the
number of corps and the number
of field armies needed and also
authorizes him to recommend COM
manders for the higher units.
How 1t Is Divided.
By the six division army corps
plan, each corps will occupy front
section with two divisions and two
replacement or reinforcement lines
of two divisions each to back them
up. The effect is to produce the
depth of line necessary for the type
of warfare now in progress.
Replacement troops sent from the
United States are fed into the war
machine in France at the third line.
They move forward in regular or
der as their training progresses and
arrive at front line trenches to fill
in casualty gaps only wher they
have been thoroughly seasoned.
To fulfill the functions of an army
corps it has been found necessary
to place under a corps command
er, in addition to his six infantry
divisions, approximately 10000 men
known as corps troops. These COM
prise artillery units, engineers and
all types of service battalions for
work on the communication lines
of their own corps.
From Front to Sea.
A similar organization of about
10000 men is necessary for each
field army of three corps. These
field army troops maintain the lines
from the advance base of the army
back to the sources of supply. In
the case of General Pershing's forces
this line connects with the ocean
transport service.
Included in the corps troops are
many units of heavy artillery
equipped with guns ranging up to
10 and II inches in caliber, both
for fixed emplacement and for mo-
bile artillery. This comprises the
artillery reserve of the corps. The
great general artillery reserve of the
field army is under direct command
of the army commander and in
cluded in his so-called army troops.

Of course the kaiser will appeal to his people to
back him up against the enemy which refuses to listen to
any reasonable peace offer and aims only at the destruc

little enthusiasm in the response from nation that num-
bers its dead by millions and has suffered hardshps to the
limit of human endurance for four years. simply to crafty
the ambition of dvnely appointed ruler The German
people pretty well fed up the ME and Gott stuff
and don't care very much what becomes of the Hohenzo

be free from the horrors of seemingly endless war.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink Lots Of Water And Stop
Eating Meat For a While
If Your Bladder TrOub-
les You.

When you wake up with backaehe
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sore of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys gets luggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
bOdy's urinous waste. else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges, The urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night.
Either consult good, reliable ply
sician at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys, also to neutralize acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, e1fer-
vescent lithia water drink.
