the western front. the German war
staff developed plans for much more
powerful machines. In June and July
last they began the construction In
series of more than 1000 engines much
higher powered than those in previous
Use. These consisted of Mercedes en-
gines Of $50 horsepower with SIX CYL
inders, and Maybach and Benz. poth
$50 horse power. and with six cylin-
ders These engines took the place or
heavier but less powerful six and eight
cylinder engines, ranging from 22o 10
235 horsepower.
The Germans thus not only gained
in power, but definitely adopted a plan
for planes with two motors and two
independent propellers. Each new ma
chire was built with three chassis, =
middle one carrying the crew and two
outside. each carrying an engine ana
a propeller Three distinct types were
developed, known respectively as
Gothas, observation-disclosures, and A. E.
G.'s.
The length of wings ranges from
seventy two and one half to eighty-siX
feet. The propeiers in earlier ma
chimes were placed at the rear. but
now they are on the front of the cars.
Machines of all three types carry
either three or four men, and are lifted
with three appliances for Launching
bombs. The projectileS vary enorn ous-
ly, ranging from aerial torpedoes, the
smallest OF which weighs two hum
dredw eight, down to small shrapnel.

SALTS If KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
tralize Irritating Acids-SpIendid
For System.

Kidney and bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
infiame, causing burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation at
the neck of the bladder, obliging you
to seek relief two or three times during
the night The sufferer is in constant
dread, the water passes sometimes with
a scalding sensation, and is very pro-
fuse; again there is difficulty in avoid
ing it.
Bladder weakness. most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in a glass Of water
before breakfast; continue this for two
or three days. This will neutralze the
acids in the urine so it no longer is
a source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs, which then act
normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant efferves
cent litfia- water drink which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.

THE UNSURPASSED. "kIDDER."
Life in Front Line Trenches Fails to
Tame Him.

CORRESPONDENCE Associated Press.]
With the American Army in France,
Feb. 21.-What is known back in the
United States as a "kidder" can not be
suppressed even in a front line trench
in France.
Seven men were standing in a trench
section. All looked as If they might
have been rolling around in the mud
and they were we'll bearded. High in
the sky an airplane circled round and
round over the German lines A ser
geant took a look at 1t thru his field
glasses.
"Boche,' said he Then a moment
later he added, Headed this way"
The machine came closer and closer
over head. One young private who had
just come up from a replacement divi-
sion and had not seen many airplanes
especially German airplanes-before
watched this one intently. His head
kept going back, back, back until his
neck was on a right angle with his
body. And his mouth which had open
ed just a little as his head started go
ing back, finally was wide open. There
he was looking UP open -rnouthed.Then
the sergeant saw him.
Hey there cried the sergeant. you
better close that. First thing You know
that boche will see that opening. think
it's dugout door and drop bomb in
it."

Zurich, Switzerland, Feb. Ill
strike of deserters' has been in pro

to thirteen thousand deserters, mostl
from the central empires who hav
taken refuge in Switzerland are as re-
bellious to service in the field and til
factory as they are in the 'front.' lin
trenches and most of them refuse
work.
Until recently every deserter WIN |
into Switzerland was given shelter Will
no other condition than that he pay
his taxes and observe the law. Thd
number. continually increased and on
the occasion of the riots in Zurich thu
federal authorities discovered THAI

was then decided to order a civil mobi

The socialist party of Switzerland
met at Often in general convention
and, tho sustaining the strikers in a

to work. Thereupon the deserters and
the extremists of the socialistic party
organized sort of soviet in Zurich.
Socialist members of the federal
council are endeavoring to get the gov

Huns Still Attempt
to Fonaent Revolution
in South America

rCorrespondenCe Associated PrcSs.l
Buenos Aires, Jan. 3O.-Belief that
German agitators still are using large
sums of German money transferred
from New York to fonent revolution
airy labor troubles in Argentina and
Uruguay is widespread in both coun-
tries. It has been stated in govern
ment circles here that Ambassador
Naon was bringing from Washington
proofs of the activity of German agents
in fostering conspracies against the
governments Of those two South Amer
lean countries and Brazil.
1t is widely believed here that both
Argentina and Uruguay have been
kept in continual turmoil thru labor
troubles and anarchistic outbreaks
solely for the purpose Of interfering
with any assistance they are able to
give the entente allies and with the
object of indirectly affecting the allied
cause by seriously damaging the
financial condition Of allied industries
which have been established in these
two republics.
Argentine officials have received
official information regarding large de-
posts Of German funds in New York
which were transferred to South
America when the United States was
on the brink Of war. it being apparent
that the money could be used TO better
advantage in neutral countries. These
funds were sent to Rio de Janeiro,
Mont evideo. Lima. Santiago de Chile
and Buenos Aires, with the largest
deposits centered in this city. The
Buenos Aires fund alone at one time
! is said to have reached a balance Of
%, 100000 marks. distributed among
several German banking houses here.
IT is stated that amounts of this
money were spent for the purchase Of
arms and ammunition for use in Brazil
and It is frankly admitted. even N
Brazil. that only the entrance Of Brazil
into the war put definite end to these
plans.
While these plans were solely mill
tarv az far as Brazil was concerned.
the German astators in Uruguay and
Argentina have been content to spend
their money keeping lahorers and an
archists busy in their work Of destruc-
ton. tt is believed here that most Of
the aeitations have been led by Ger
man agents VINO came here from the
United States and that on serious
railroad strike in Argentina was eng'-
necred by the same German subject
who attempted a similar paralyzation
Of traffic in the United States.
The first serious outbreak Of this
kind was At the American packing
houses in Montevideo. This strike was
sudden and entirely unexnected and
the government was nr7n'Ad At the
length OF time during which apparent

out in the unusual and unreasonable
demands that had been framed for
them by the strike agitators.
These labor troubles soon spread
across the river into Argentina and
the country has not been free OF more
or less serious uprisings among labor
ers and anarchists for the last four
months. Property has been destroyed
soldiers and innocent people shot down
any many acres Of crops burned. In
several instances, especially in the case
of packing house strikes. not one en-
ploye of the companies affected has
been represented on the strike COM
mttees that visited the managers.
There are evidences that Ambas-
sador Naon has kept In close touch
with the American department of state
regarding German activities in Argen-
tina and the people here were looking
forward to new exposures when he met
President Irlgoyen on returning from
Washington.
