sector with two divisions, while two
replacement or reinforcement lines
of two divisions each will back them
up. The effect is to produce the line
of depth 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

arrive at front line trenches to fill
in casualty gaps only when they have
been thoroughly seasoned.
10000 known AS Corps Troops
To fulfill the functions of an army
corps 1t has been found necessary
to place under a corps commander in
addition to his six infantry divisions,
approximately 10000 men known as
corps troops. These comprise artil-
lery units, engineers and all types of
service battalions for work on the
communication lines of their own
orps. 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 trans
port service.
Guns Range Up to IL Inches
Included in the corps troops are
many units of heavy artillery equip
ped with guns ranging up to 10 and
IL inches in caliber both before
fixed emplacement and for mobile
artillery. This comprises the artillery
reserve of the corps. The great gem
eral artillery reserve of the field
army is under direct command of the

Dismissal of Jellico For
Best Interest of Cause,
Declares Bonar Law

London, Wednesday, March G.
Whether Sir Eric Geddes, first lord
of the admiralty, was right or wrong
in dismissing Admiral Jellico from
the post of First Sea Lord, he had
done what he considered best in the
interest of the country. Andrew
Bonar Law declared in the House of
Commons to-day, as spokesman for
the government, in reply to criti-
cisms of the first lords action. He
added:
THE premier has assured me
privately that he had absolutely
nothing to do with anything that
has appeared in the press regard
ing Admiral Jellicoe and that the
suggestion was entirely unfounded
that any member of the govern
ment, either the premier or Sir Eric
Geddes, had taken such a despicable
course"

army commander and included in his

The organization schedules show
General Pershing is to be equipped
eventually with artillery of all cal
iberS on scale not heretofore
dreamed of. The proportion of artil
lery 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 as
signed to corps or field army COM
manders will be whole brigades of
anti-aircraft guns, mobile Howitzers
of six, eight, ten and even twelve

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence

Unlcss Allenrhu Completely Ban
ishes All Rheumatic Pains and
Twinges.
Mr., James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the &C
cumulated impurities. commonly caiI-
ed uric acid deposits, were dissolved
il. the joints and muscles and expeIl-
ed from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took il, with " hat might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
fer"rs everywhere know about mis-
discovery through the newspapers.
Geo. A. Gorgas has been appointed
agent for Allenrhu in this vicinity
with the understanding that he will
freely return the purchase money to
all who state they received no benefit

DER TAG HAS FADED

Arrogant Germany Beaten to

Says Tracy.
ENGLAND's WORK Barred
British Warcraft Shown as

Throughout World.

Louis Tracy. who has kept a lot OF
folk up at night with his cracking tales
Of adventure by land and sea. admitted
before the University Club in Brooklyn
last night that he had never dreamed
OF an event so thrilling aud dramatic
as the surrender OF the German High
Sea Fleet to Vice Admiral Beatty and
the allied fleets.
After he had been introduced Mr.
Tracy Jumped right into his inspiration:
Nothing has happened since tho Ger
man plen!rotentiaries went. hat In hand
to Foch that compares with the dra-
matte intensity OF the episode of the sur
render OF the German feet" he said
The High Sea Fleet was the supreme
expression OF German arrogance, She
claimed, and not without good reason,
an almost Irresistible domination upon
land, so the building of great fleet was
a distinct challenge TO the one Power
which depended for its very life solely
on its strength in deep waters. She
tried 70 outbuild England.
providence, which seems to come to
the aid OF the British Empire in diff

shipbuilding programme. and Germany
was soon left behind in the race, though
from the days OF the first German

been a menace TO the world. 1t was
then that Der Tag became the toast

some difficulties to encounter In their
mission of making homes clean and
germless for baby.
Mothers Do Their best.
The mothers mostly try hard to do
their best for the babies. 'IIsten, lady"
one poor Jowess said to Miss Barton
1t was "A fourteen-months-old baby
they were discussing, and month old
one was crying in her arms--"listen,
lady, do you hear me? Specially do
bother with that child so he shall stand
up. A little eggnog, little cognac, and
the orange at 12 cents apiece" At tho
same time she was nursing tho littlest
baby and eating a dill pickle, but at
Miss Barton's suggestion she threw
away the pickle, admitting that II "glfs

Bandy legged children are. every OBJ
server knows, all too frequent in tene-
ment regions. Ctlriously enough. il 10
In trying TO keep baby's' legs straight
that the mothers make them handy.
This happens mostly with the Italians
and Turkish Jews. They bind the little
legs with the worthy intention of pre-
venting them from going crooked, and,
of course, debarred from the kicking
exercises which are every baby's right,
they become weak and spindiy and bow
shaped when the child begins to walk.
So the nurses go about urging the
mothers to give their babies freedom of
movement; they teach them the right
position for baby when nursing and q
hundred other things which most of
those mothers, marrying out of factories
and shops. do not know. And every
baby in the aiixiliary's care gets n lay

binders. didies and blanket and a cum

works all day in a room OF the Lying

made baby garments, cutting her own
patterns. and the number OF East Siders
who have started life in clothes OF
Bertha's fashionlng runs into the many
thousands
The auxiliary has also n, social ser
Gatee all cases. Mothers who are likely
to need special care are brought to the
hospital before the baby comes. but ordi-
nary cases remain at home under tho
care of the visiting nurse.
