Behind the British Lines In
France. July 14.-(Correspondence
OF the Associated Press) Life on
active service Is not entirely COM
posed. as some people are inclined
to imagine, OF fighting, OF sitting In
trenches. OF resting In billets. OF
marching, eating and sleeping. II is
true that the main activities OF the
soldier are comprised OF the above
list, but there are countless other du-
ties which he Is called upon to per-
form,--duties which might best be
called "odd jobs" and some OF
which are distinctly odd.
The days of camp-followers, who
used to perform the more menial
tasks OF the battle zone, are gone
never to return. The soldier must
now be his own newer of wood and
drawer OF water. He must attend
himself to all the little details OF
life, the cleaning of his quarters. the
digging of trenches, the carrying OF
his food. Broken trenches must be
mended, fresh trenches dug, and
dug-outs built. All these odd Jobs,
which the soldier is called upon to
do In what would otherwise be his
spare time, he sums up under the

The vesle river was crossed BY

French troops already have gained
positions on the American left and

Bazoches to Fismes-
The Germans lost considerably In
casualties. Prisoners stories tended
to corroborate the opinion Of those
previously taken that the Germans
expect to continue their retreat until
the Aisne is reached.
The attack began between and
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. BY mid
night those on the right had reached
their objectives, the main highway
east and west extending along the
foothills that rise north Of the river
and become a series Of terraces to
the Aisne.
The left wing was delayed. but It
also reached the line shortly before
o'clock this morning.
Under cover of barrage the en-
gineers threw light bridges over the
stream while the officers placed their
men in position, working them down
ward toward the bridges. The chal-
lenges we're accepted by the German
artillery, and in a few minutes the
intermittent reports of the guns
which had been heard all day were
merged into one great roar.
The clouds. which had lifted slight
ly, reappeared just before the attack
was launched and the action was
conducted without much advantage
in observation by aircraft
When the order for the advance
was given, the men, for the most
part, swept forward in open forma-

ter attack without success.
The men on the American right
fought their way along the chosen
routes. Some Of them floundered

SALTS IS FINE FOR
 KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at Once When Back Hurts or Bladder BothcrS-
 Meat Forms Uric Acid


 No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make 8 mistake by flush ing the kidneys occasionally, says a WCll-knoWn authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and polsons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness. bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or If the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passa,ge or at tended by a sensation of scaldin,y get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore 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, combined with lithia and has been used for gen. erations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neu- tralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can- not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent Iithia water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

An appeal for 2.00O American wo- men, of the highest type, for Canteen and Hospital Hut Service in France has been issued by the American Red Cross, Of this number, 500 are to be enrolled in the Atlantic division, com prising the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut with head quarters in New York.
 MT. Ethan Allen, manager of tho Atlantic division, said yesterday that
 1t is imperative that these recruits be secured by November 1, so that they nlay be sent abroad for service in the coming winter.
 h at cablegram to MT. Allen, Henry IF. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross War Council, says:
 "Plans had been made to meet the rarious repuiremtns by organizing with possible available French Wo- nen, pending the arrival of Ameri- can women to take their places, but
 t developes that this is impracticable, as the officers in com mand prefer that We should mot enlarge our operations or develop new ones if we are not in position to furnish American women.'
 MT. Davison further says: "Women the Canteen Service must not think of it as simply pouring cof- ice, but rather an opportunity to cheer and influence the men, the inn Dortance of which can only be ap- |preciated here"
 Another cablegram from stephen J. .ATjlctt, Director of the Bureau of Per- a8Qnnel at National Headquarters, |Who is in France, further emphasizes sGhe immediate need of recruits for sthis service. MT. Millett says:
 There must be recruiting with the utmost speed and, to make Red Cross swork effective here. recruits must sail .as soon as papers can be put through.
