Gern,ans Ordered to Hold
 Back Americans to End

With the American Forces Northwest of Press. A-How great is the importance at tached by the Germans to holding back the Americans is shown in recent or der of General Von Der Marwitz, com mander in chief of the Fifth army, which has reached American intelligence of ficerS
 "ItS1s on the unconquerable resistance of the Verdun front reads the order, that depends the fate of a great part of the western front, perhaps even of our nation. The fatherland must rest assured that every commander and every man realizes the greatness of his mis- sion and that he will do his duty to the very end
 '''If they do this the enemy's attack will. as heretofore, break against our firm will to hold.''
 With the American army already across the Kreimheld Ste1lung, it might be ex- pected that the Germans will fall back rapidly to their. third line of defense from Stenay to Sedan, but because Of the vital necessity of preventing the allies from cutting the lines of communication before the greater part of the German forces are able to extricate themselves it is assumed that they will increase rather than decrease their resistance. It is not believed however, that the Germans will be able to offer the same sort of resistance, but. on the other hand, will adopt more open form of warfare, much as they did north of the River Marne.
 Added evidence has been obtained that instead of reducing his opposition. the German commander is continuing 10

 After President Wilson's first reply to Germany, the editorial begins. German official representatives reioiced that the conversation could continue. 1t is doubt ful now, the article continues if they rejoice at having opened the conversa- ton.
 The government at Berlin is now obliged to allow the reply to appear in every newspaper in Germany" says the editorial. Tt will not consolidate Chan cellor Maximilian's position, weakened by his unfortunate letter nor Vice Cham cellor Won Payers. who made the an nexationist speech, nor Dr. Solrs, who was secretary Of state when Belgium was occupied.
 'It will not consolidate the authority of the Prussian staff nor the personal prestige of the Kaiser nor the popu- larity of the dynasty or imperial reign The directors of Germany sought public debate. They have it. The first result is that they appear in the. eyes of their people, gasping for peace, as the prin- cipal obstacles to peace.'
 The writer welcomes President Wilson's decision to send separate reply to Aus. tria-Hungary and in this intention says.
 "A single reply would have been to sanction their alliance which was one of the principal causes of the war and the destruction of which is one of the essential conditions of peace,

Except for a brief period in the latter part of the day, when the visibility slightly improved, it was a battle with. out adequate observation for either side During much of the time drizzling rain was falling.
 GAS IN PROPULSION
 This condition, coupled with a lack of wind, made the time for gas attacks almost ideal, and the Germans took full advantage. Every wood and rayine through which the Americans moved was a flood of lethal and mustard gases. supplemented with liberal fire of high explosives and shrapnel
 In front Of their barbed wire defenses, however, the Germans betrayed an un- usual nervousness. Instead of the ordi- nary we'll controlled artillery fire their batteries exploded in a barrage of fire on the slightest excuse. Instead of these barrages covering any counter offensive they were nothing more than defen. siye move and they were laid down at the least indication of activity on the part of their assailants.
 One of the most stubborniy held posi- tions was in the Chatillon woods which covered the high hill south of Romagne. The Americans worked their way around the sides of this great natural obstacle, forming one of the most important links in the Kriemhilde line.
 Time and again they were thrown back until late in the day Then, covered by their own artillery, they were able to gain it's summit and to dominate the country beyond. Patrols are now well in the Banthevjlle woods. Approximate 1000 prisoners were sent back.

IF KIDNEYS ACT ]. BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have been eating too
 much meat

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it gen- erally means you have been eating too much meat, says well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworkS the kidneys in their effort to filter 1t from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and losgy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the body's urinous waste, elsei 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 ofteft get sore. water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult good, reliable physi- ,eian at once or get from your pharmaclst about four ounces of lad Salts; take d 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 tho acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with ithia, and has been used for genera tions to clean and stimulate sluggish Kidneys also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladde. weakness. v

EUery DeUice KnoWn To
 Teutonic War Machine Is
 Used Against Americans

With thekAmerican Forces North of the Argonne, October 15-( (Reuter' .)-Anoth- CT step beyond the Kriemhilde defenses was taken yesterday by the Americans when they moved their line up to the St. Georges and Landreset-St. Georges, northwest of Romagne. It was the third phase of General Pershlng's operations between the Mouse and the Argonne forest.
 The attack began early on Monday morning, but it was not until late in the day that any material progress was made Almost the entire day was taken up in a bitter struggle through gas filled woods and over the shell swepts slopes of hills.
 To the east of the Mouse the line moved forward to Sivry and Magenta farm, but just to the west of the river little advance was registered. Less eff fort was made there because the problem was to straighten the line farther west, where 1t joins that of the French near Grand-Pre
 It is at Romagne that the Kriemhilde positions swing in a northwesterly di- rection and there the forces of General Won Gallwitz fought valiantly to hold back the Americans New guards divi- sions were brought up at that part of the line and every device of the Teu- tonic fighting machine was used to smash the pressure.

ROUT CAUSES WHINE

Paris, October 16.-"Germany with defeat threatening to become head long rout, now whines about peace" said Premier Hughes of Australia at a luncheon given today by foreign min- ister Pinchon. at which all the menl- bers of the French cabinet were pres- ent
 "Elndeavoring to induce President Wilson to intercede for her." Premier Hughes continued, "Germany evades the plain, blunt questions of the Pres ident, hoping to gain time to extri- cate herself from her fatal position and to save the Kaiser and the German kings and princes in the last strong hold of kings and military despotism"
 After pointing out that Germany is the best equipped European to enter on peace, the premier said:
 She must rebuild the ruined French and Belgian cities, replace the stolen machinery, restore the patterns and trade secrets and compensate the man. ufacturers and workmen Until then We cannot and will not admit her to the family of nations nor give her a share of our raw materials

LONDON WELL. pI.EAsEn

London, October 15.-The London Eve ming newspaper comment on President Wilson's reply to Germany is generally favorable in tone. The Standard, under the heading, The Right Note.' says that the note ''has removed certain fals. impressions which were possible in re- gard to his three questions to Germany" The newspaper regrets that President Wilson did not refer to punishment for U-boat crimes and the burning of towns
 The Pail Mall Gazette says that Presi- dent Wilson's reply reaches his highest standards of point and promptness,' and adds that the declarations he mad. "have been made before. but never, in such dramatic setting or with such se- curities for their being read and di- gested."
 The Globe finds there is no ambiguity about President Wilson's stern reply. and is afraid the Germans will not like the manner in which President Will son received their request.
 "Foch, Haig and Pershng," the news paper asserts, will determine in con- cert the guarantees they must have in hand before granting cessation of hos tilities."
 The Westminster Gazette gives first place to President Wilson's demand for the destruction of every arbitrary power"

In the Romange sector. further gains have been made by the Americans in the face of ter rife artillery and machine gun fire and the natural defense and great systems of wire entaGlC- ments, which had to be negotiated. Bnd weather has fallen over the sector and the airmen hnve been unable to give their usual brilliant assistance to the maneuvers.
 To the west the French are slowly closing In upon RcitheI on their way to Meziers, being only two miles distant from the town. West of Grand Pre- they have ef- fected further crossings of the Aispe. About 500 Germans were made prisoner in this fighting.
 In Flanders the British have taken the important railway cen- ter of Menin, Thourout has fallen and the ThourOut- Courtrai railroad has almost been won. Numerous towns have been recaptured by the allied forces and large numbers of prisoners have been taken. Many guns also have fallen into the hands of the allies.

U. s. TROOP SHIP
 SINKS AT PIER
 IN HOBOKEN, N. ].
Transport America Settles to Bottom While Troops Aboard Are Sleeping,
 Without Loss of Life

Hoboken, N. J., October 15.-Shortly before the American troop ship trans port America, formerly the German transatlantic passenger steamship Amer ika, was about to sail today for Eu- rope with soldiers and supplies, the ves- sel sank at her pier here.
 In the early morning darkness, Whlle the troops aboard were sleeping, the America settled with her keel in the mud, leaving only three of her eight decks above water. So far as was known there was no loss of life. Earlier re- ports were that between 90 and 40 of the crew had perished after being trapped in the boiler room.
 Troops were placed on guard outside the pier and details regarding the sink ing were denied to inquirers. The cause of the accident Remained mystery even to navy department officials A theory expressed in some quarters that water poured into the holds as a result or un- completed repairs. apparently did not con- form with the fact that the ship was ready to weigh anchor today for for eign port.
 It was learned that gang of machin- fsts was at work at the time the vessel settled and 1t was suggested that one of these men, being a civilian not fa- miliar with marine mechanisms, mad vertently opened a seacock under the 1fn- pression he was closing it.
 The submerged America, next to the largest of the governments transports, was within sight of persons crossing the lower Hudson river on ferry boats
 The vessel appeared to be resting on an even keel.
 The America is of 22.o62 tons gross.
 FIRST VOYAGE IN 1905
 The America, then the Anerika, sailed on her first voyage from New York on October 25, 1905 To celebrate the event a banquet was held on board the liner the previous evening, attended by repre- sentatives of the majority of steamship interests of the port
 At the time the ship was the largest passenger vessel in point of tonnage afloat, having accommodations for 36J pa assengers and about 400 crew. She was the first of the ocean liners to be equipped with electric elevators and her various salons and assembly rooms were decorated with paintings of distinguished Americans and American scenes Her decks were named after Presidents of the United States. The use of one of the imperial suites for voyage cost $2500
 In August, 1914, she was in New York anG remained here until the United States entered the conflict Then she was seized and taken over by the United States ship ping board. Wilful damage to the ship by the officers and men of her former crew was repaired here at a cost of ap- proximately S00,000.

The entente forces in Belgium and France continue successfully to drive the enemy before them. In Belgian Flanders the advance is somewhat rapid. hut on all the sec tors fin France the Germans arc lighting with desperatio% to hold back their foes.
 The great wedge that is being driven by the Belgian, British and French troops in Flanders now threatens seriously the tenure by the enemy of many positions in north Belgium from the Lys river to the sea. including his submarine and other bases along the coast, while to the south the Lille salient gradually is being enmeshed and doubtless soon will receive atten- tfon from the pincers, which are being oiled for the task of reclaim ing this important tract of terri tory as far as valenciennes for France, while the French and American forces are struggling yaliantiy forward in their drive northward from the Champagne re- zion into the country over which the Germans must effect a retirement to their own border in the event of fine debacIe.
 As has been the case always since the offensive began, the Germans are vigorously defending their po- sitions. using innumerable machine gun detachments in endeavors to hold their ground. Particularly yici- ous are the counter thrusts that the Americans are being compelled to sustain east and west of the Mouse. where the entire enemy front Is threatened with immediate collapse should General Liggett,s men crash through the line for ma- teriaI gains.

Tribute to Bob Ewing

Col. T. H. Garden. Belgian Army, Birmingham, Ala.
 My Dear Colonel: Only few days Robert W. Ewing solicited my sub scripton to the fourth Liberty Loan. His earnestness and the thorough ness with which he did his work im- pressed me very much. MT. Ewing dled lighting and he is no less a nero in the great struggle than if ne had met his death in the front une trenches. I can't help but feel that MT, Ewing's death was due di- rectiy to the magnificent fight he was making for liberty. He. there lore, in my opinion. should be hon pred along with our greatest heroes
 In honor of the great work Mr. EWing has done I am today sub- scribing for more Liberty Bonds and can't help but feel that each and every man who was solicited by Mr. Ewing in the fourth Liberty Loan campaign should do likewise, and thereby do him the honor that a real hero deserves.
 Yours for great success of the fourth Liberty Loan.
