A Biliuos Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments In your
stomach instead Of digesting. This
inflames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and terrible head
ache. Take Chamberlain Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever. They only cost

100000 Turks Desert;
Plan to Reorganize
Ottoman Army Fails
Won Falkenhayn Quits Task
Imposed by Germany and
Goes to Constantinople

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Germany's
scheme of recognizing the Turkish
armies has broken down. Following
the desertion of 100000 Ottoman troops
on their way from Palestine to Con-
stantinople to take the offensive
against General Allenby's British
forces, General Won Falkenhayn quit
his command and returned to the Turk
ish capital in disgust. according to off
cial dispatches received here to-day.
Won Falkenhayn. who had been en-
gagged in reorganizing the Turkish
units for several months, had under
him 100000 men for the Palestine oper-
ations. Of this number more than so
per cent deserted on the way, accord
ing to estimates of General Allenby.
Forty-one companies of storm troops
which left Alexandretta 300 strong
each reached the front only 100 strong
each, the British commander reports.
The Turkish officers joined with their
men in refusing 70 go on, recognizing
the decentralization in the ranks. When
the expedition was three days out of
Constantinople the German commander
gave up hope and returned.
The dispatches further state that
typhus is making enormous inroads
into the Turkish army, nearly 80 per
cent of the troops being lost through
the disease

Italian Press Skeptical
About Strikes in Austria
[Staf Coryespondcnce7

lO~"U wv O'IS"pOfN'o'tCoJ
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-An official
dispatch from Rome to-day says:
"The Italian press is very skeptical
with regard to the strikes which are
reported to have taken place in Vienna
and suspects the news to be one of the
able maneuvres of the enemy to dis
tract the attention of the Allies from
the military preparations and bring
about a state OF sympathy and unrest
among the proletariat of the Allied
countries.
"The annexationist movement is
gaining ground in Vienna. Its leaders
state that Austria, SO far, has con-
tracted war inde btedness amounting
to 60,000,000,000 kronen ($12,OO0,O00
000), which must be paid by the van
quished nations in money and material.
ITO retain the cooperation of their
other allies, Germany and Austria have
called in to share in the administration
of the occupied Italian provinces the
Turks, who are now established in
Feltro, and the Bulgarians, who have
headquarters in Conegliano.
"In spite of the fact that the Austro-
German pressure on the Italian front
has slackened, the enemy has not re-
moved any part of its forces, consist
ing of ffty-two and one-half divisions,
eight Of which are German. The great
est pressure is being exerted by the
invaders on the line that runs between
the Brenta and the Piave rivers"

France Gets German
Ships Brazil Seized
Their Use Will Prevent Move
ment of u. S. Troops Halt
ing Food Supplies

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The thirty
German ships seized by Brazil when
it entered the war have been chartered
by the French government for war pur-
poses. The vessels represented an ag-
gregate of about 10000 gross tons.
This announcement by the State De-
partment gave further evidence of the
inter-Allied agreement that the pro-
visioning of France should not be
hampered by troop movements from
America.
This government had considered en-
tering into negotiations for the vessels
to supplement the transport and supply
fleet of the expeditionary forces, but
Frances need of tonnage to bring in
food was recognized as being more
urgent.
The terms under which France has
chartered the ships from Brazil include
an agreement to move the Brazilian
coffee crops. 1t is expected that the
vessels will be used in moving much
of the 100000 tons of wheat recently
sold by Argentina to the Allied gov
ernments.
The conclusion Of negotiations with
Peru for the use of the German steam
ers in Peruvian ports was believed to
be near to-day. The negotiations with
Paraguay have not been concluded.
Peru may operate the vessels herself.
The larger part of enemy vessels are
tied up at Chilean and Argentine ports,
and. as those countries have not broken
with the Central Powers, it is prob
lematical whether the German and
Austrian ships in those countries shall
become available for carrying pur-
poses.

Gen. Boroevic, Noted for
Defensive Tactics, Heads
Austrian Forces
HoetzendorfDi Disgraced
Superseded by Officer Not a
Military Favorite at
Vienna Court
[Dy Tho Associated Press I


ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY, Monday, Jan. 21.
--General Szetozar Boroevic has been
appointed to succeed the Archduke
Eugene in command of the entire
enemy front against Italy, and it is
believed that the change may have a
considerable effect on the campaign.
The two conspicuous enemy figures
on this front have been Field Marshl
Conrad Won Hoctzendorf, commanding
the mountain front, and General
boroevlc, commanding along the Piave.
General Boroevic is the junior of the
held marshal, and his passing over him
is IN the nature of disgrace, proba-
bly, growing out of the operations on
this front. Field Marshal Conrad Won
Hoetzendorf retains the command on
the mountain front. He has repre-
sented the extreme element opposed
TO Italy, and as chief of the Austrian
staff sought to provoke collision with
Italy during the Tripolitan war, and
has even been charged with using the
Messina earthquake as pretext for
Austrian Intervention in Italian affairs.
General Boroevic's tactics on the
Italian front have been uniformly de-
fensive; rarely offensive. For two
years on the Isonzo front he main
tanned defensive and took the often
sive only when German reinforcements
compelled an advance. Since the for
nation OF the new Piave line his policy
has been chiefly defensive
The appointment of General Boroevic,
therefore, is construed as confirming
reports that the enemy purposes to
maintain a defensive attitude on the
Italian front for the present. 1t is
also regarded as a concession to the
Slav element of Austria, as Boroevic
is of Slavo Croatian origin. General
Boroevic stands entirely outside the
military court favorites, like Conrad
Won Hoetzendorf, who up to this time
has directed the Austrian military
policy against Jtalv

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Fighting activity
on the northern Italian front is re-
ported by the official communique from
Rome tonight. On The left bank of
the Adige, on the extreme left flank
of the Italian line, Austrian reconnoi-
tring parties were repelled by the de-

to attack the Italian line on Monte
Pasubio was defeated when the Italians
exploded two mines under the advanc-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Minister
Reinsch, at Peking, has made represen-
tatiors to the Peking Foreign Office in
regard to the attack by unidentified
p. ons or the American gunboat Mon
ocacy on the Yangtse Kang, it was an
nounced by the State Department to-
day. The United States will insist
upon the apprehension and punishment
of the offenders, and probably upon
compensation for the family of the
American killed.
AT the Chinese Legation it was
thought likely that the attackers were
a part of the force of General~Tan, mil
itary governor of the Province of HUI
nan, which is in open rebellion against
the Peking government. General Tan
same time ago was removed by Pres-
dent Feng Kuo-chang, but the ad-
herents of the governor overthrow the
new official appointed by the President,
and followed General Tan in armed Cd
position to the government.

Almost at the time that another
meeting of the anneXationist Father
land party was being broken up at
Cologne on Sunday Admiral Won Tir-
pitt, one of Che moving spirits Of the
party, addressed large meeting in
Berlin. He asserted the party had
gained recognition abroad, and that
branches were being formed and the
membership was increasing.
The admiral said the course of the
negotiations with the Russians at
Brest-Litovsk proved the will to vic
tory of the great majority of the ma
ton was unbroken, and that trust in
the high army command was unlimited
and unshaken. He asserted the eco
nomlc power of the entire nation must
be exerted to see the matter through
and reach the goal of firmly founded
world position. A resolution was
adopted demanding "a peace allowing
Germany's development on solid
basis in the east and west, peace
making it impossible for England to
knock down her German competitor, a
peace forcing England to recognize
Germany's industrial rights, a peace
assuring the free development Of our
culture and our economic position in

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Turkey has
offered a separate peace to the Russian
army of the Caucasus, and is ready to
begin negotiations with the commander
in chief Of the Russian forces, accord
ing to information received here to-
day. This development was believed to
have been occasioned by the lack of
control by the Bolsheviki over the army
Of the Causasus, necessitating inde-
pendent pourparlers.
1t was also suggested that the will
ingness of Turkey to open separate ne
gotiations with the Russians might in
dicate their disposition to consider
terms from the allies, in the expecta-
tion that negotiated peace would
allow more favorable conditions than
those declared by Premier Lloyd
George, based on the promise of an
allied victory.

Rival Raids Break
Down on West Front

LONDON, Jan. 22--Both British and
German raiding parties were active on
the Flanders front yesterday. The fire.
quent attempts Of Haigs troops to
enter the enemy's trenches in the
neighborhood of Ypres kept the Ger
man defenders on edge, bursts of artil-
lery fire being drawn from the enemy
"pill boxes" and trenches.
According to the official reports,
neither side succeeded in doing any
damage in these actions, the artillery
being too watchful to permit Of de-
tachments reaching their detectives.
These operations are interesting, how
ever, as showing that weather con-
tent that the infantry is again able to
get into action, and the next few days
may see increasingly greater actions in
Belgium and Northern France.
On the front held by Petain's men a
minor engagement occurred in the Ar
gonnc, north Of Four de Paris, where
the French attacked last night after ar
tillery preparation lasting all day. In
handto-hand fighting they were driven
back to their original positions, Berlin
reports to-day.
In the Champagne and north of the
Aisne there were patrol encounters, in
which the French took prisoners. A Re e.
vival of artillery fighting on the Yer
dun front is reported by the German
statement.
The French carried out a successful
raid near Navarin Farm, in the Cham
pagne, about midway between Rheims
and the Argcnne Forest. Detachments
penetrated the German lines as far as
the third trench system, laid waste the
and returned with ten
prisoners. A German raid north Of
Rheims failed, .Paris reports.
Monday night British aeroplanes
again penetrated over German terri
tory and dropped bombs on the steel
works at Thionville and on railway
works at Arnaville and Bernstorf.

in her twenty-six voyages through the
danger zone.
The vessels sunk included the Ameri-
can steamer Sureigo, the Norwegian
Regin. the Italian Constantinople and
another Italian vessel. The crews were
saved. The sinkings occurred at p. nj.
on December 20 in the Mediterranean,
while the, ships were bound for this
country.
The auxiliary cruiser "a converted

gave battle to the submarines, and a
number of shots we're exchanged, but
the U-boats made their escape
