"My husband suffered terribly

A friend in Cleveland advised him
to take Mayr's Wonderful Remedy,
and since taking it, 4 months ago,
he is feeling like young man

ditionary force OF Baku, the great oil
center of Russia, which for many
years was the greatest single OIL
producing region in the world, is
one OF the romances of this war,
indicating the far-reaching and tre-
mendous work which England has
had TO do.
1t recalls to mind an address which
is now being delivered in this coun-
try by Colonel Milne, who for the
last eighteen or twenty years has
been identified with the English ar
my in India, and for some years, we
believe, a member OF the India Coun-
Gil. In telling OF the great struggle
of the English army from India
which invaded Mesopotamia to cut
the line of commupication OF Ger
many and Turkey toward the East,
when Germany was trying to DOM
mate the Islam world in order to
bring "holy war" with the hope
of having hundreds of millions OF
Mohammedans engaged on the side
OF Germany as against civilization
and Christianity. Colonel Milne gives
many remarkable facts about the he
roisms OF the British army in its
struggle for the capture Of kut-el-
Amara, or familiarly known in army
and East Indian circles as "kut.'
For five months in the year, the
thermometer in that region aver
ages about l50 degrees and the hui
midity is so high that the power of
this heat is lar greater than the same
degree OF heat in some parts OF In
dia. There is one point in India where
with temperature OF l5O degrees
without humidity, the brass railing
on cars or other vehicles in the sun
becomes so intensely hot that if an
uncovered hand grasps the railing
it is Immediately blistered as by a
hot iron, and yet, in the struggle for
the capture of'"Kut' the same de
gree of temperature with the added
suffering OF humidity had to be en-
dured.
In this struggle to reclaim from
Moslem control and Turkish and
German domination the cradle OF the
human race-for it was in that sec
ton that the Almighty first breathed
the breath of life into mantle Eng
lish troops endured untold suffer
ing. The Euphrates is river with
out banks. At the time OF heavy
rains it overflows and stretches out,
like some portions OF the Missis-
sippi, for a hundred miles or more.
The final fight for the capture of
"Kut' was carried on at period of
overflow when the army could move
only in flat boats largely improvised
Tor the occasion, because the water
was more than waist deep and COW
cred vast stretches OF land.
In the final march which ended in
the capture OF Bagdad, the English
army moved ninety miles in three
DAYS, despite the fearful heat pre-
vailing at that time. This is a rec
ord probably unequaled in the his
tory OF any war OF the world.
The captuer of Bagdad marked
an epoch OF tremendous importance
in this war because it changed the
thought of the Mohammedan world
from alliance with Germany to re-
cognition OF the fact that Germany
was not supreme. 1t may have been
the saving point in preventing a
"holy' war of all Moslems, under
the leadership OF Germany against
Christianity.
Bagdad is a city of 10000 people

Amsterdam, Dec. 16.-U. N. 81
A general strike was called IN Ber-
lin today. Advices from the frontier
carly in the day said that 350,Ooo
workers had gone out and that only
two newspapers were published.
The Ebert government was unable
to check the bolshevik propaganda
for a general strike.
The attempted coup Of President
Fehrenbach, of the reichstag, to sum-
mon that body and the bundesrath
will fail unless it Is the prelude to
a bigger and more perilous armed
counter revolutionary plan before the
national assembly Is convoked. 1t was
reported from a German source.
Stormy scenes were threatened
in Berlin today as result of the Ia
Dor, troubles and the attempt of the
congress con Of soviets to meet. DR..
Hugo Haase, an independent social
ist member of the German govern
ment, was quoted as saying In an in
terview at Berlin that, as the Ebert
regime actually holds the central
power, therefore it Is entitled to ne
gotiate according to international
law. The government will recognize
n national assembly and not the
reichstag, Haase declared.
German feodstuffs," continued Dr.
Haase, "are undoubtedly sufficient to
last several months. but the entente
must send relief then or extremist
will come into power. There Is moi
the slightest prospect of union be.

DR.. Haase said that the German
