HINTS AT FIRM STAND
New German Foreign Minister
Outlines His Policy.
Intimates Berlin VIII Not Yield to
Every Peace Condition of
Her Opponents.

Copenhagen, Jan. 6.-The new Ger.
man foreign minister, Count Won
Brockdorff-Rantza has issued a state
ment outlining his policy, but it has
not reached Copenhagen.
From comment in the Tageblatt, Of
Berlin, however, it appears he declared
that Germany must not y d to every
peace condition her opponents may
wish to dictate. The Tageblatt ad-
heres to the minister's point Of view,
and says:
mo peace must be signed which
differs by the breadth of hair from
President Wilson's IA principles,
which Germany has accepted, and the
Entente, willingly or unwiIlingly, has
signed"
The Tageblatt then discusses, Ger
many's illusions before the war and
says these were fed by the fatal
propaganda which drove America into
the war and led to the inevitable
catastrophe"
1T is necessary" the paper con-
tinues, ito avoid the self-deception of
which the minister speaks, but it is
not necessary to plunge madly into
standardization"

In 1848 Sir Arthur Garrod proved
that in govt also true in rheumatism
there is deficient elimination on the
part of the kidneys and the poisons
within are not thrown off.
Prof. II. Strauss attributes a equity
attack to the heaping up Of poisons
where there is an abundance of uric
acid which is precipitated in the joints
and sheaths, setting up inflammation.
Before the attack of govt or rheu-
matism there is sometimes headache,
or what is thought to be neuralgia, or
rheumatic conditions, such as lumbago,
pain in the back of the neck, or sciatica.
AS Prof. Strauss says, " The excretion
of uric acid we are able to effect by
exciting diuresis." Drink copiously of
water, six or eight glasses per day, hot
water before meals, and obtain Anuric
tablets, double strength, for go cts, at
the nearest drug store and take them
three times day. If you want trial
package send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce'g
1nvalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
~Anuric" (anti-uric) is recent dis
covery of DR.. Pierce and much more
potent than lithia, for it will dissolve
uric acid as hot tea dissolvea sugar.

obtained from it and the lasting effect
that will remain in the United States

Check Advance of BoIShevik
Soldiers on KadiSh Village
in Siberia.
FIGHT in Deep SNOW
Shells Falling On Frozen Ground
Spread Their Zones of Destruc-
ton Twice as Far as Under
Normal Conditions.

With Allied Army of the Dvina, Jan.
6.-Bolshevik troops, which made an
advance near Kadish village, have
been driven back by American forces
after desperate fighting
The Bolshevists also launched at
tacks on the Omega sector and bonn
barded the Allied front. The Ameri-
cans came into battle along the Petro-
grad road and in the frozen swamps
that border it. The battle was fought
in snow from two to four feet in
depth.
American forces captured Kadish
last Monday after display of gal
lantry that evoked the admiration of
the Allied commanders.
Wounded Given Special Care.
Special care has been taken of the
American wounded and the body of
an American officer was taken back
100 miles by sledge and then sent to
Archangel for burial. There were
some casualties on Monday, but they
were small in comparison to those in
ficted upon the enemy.
On Tuesday, the Bolshevists opened
q terrific fire from three and six-inch
guns and launched a counter attack
against the buildings held by Ameri-
cans in Kadish. So hot was the ar
tillery fire that the Americans with
drew temporarily from the village.
The line, however, was not moved very
far and the new positions were firmly
held.
Shells Doubly Destructive.
The enemy did not occupy Kadish
because the barrage fire from the
American guns made the place unten-
able. Shells falling on the frozen
ground spread their zones of destruc-
ton twice as far as they would under
normal conditions.
Later, under the protection of arti1-
lery fire, American detachments again
swept forward and reoccupied the
town. The men engaged in the ad
vance were from infantry and trench
mortar units.
Saturday morning word came from
headquarters that the American posi-
tions are now about $50 yards south
of the village, which is the line mark
ing the furthest advance made by the
Americans late in October before they
retired to the north of Kadish.
BoIsheVists Fight SaVageIy.
Here and there are graves where
are buried Americans who fell in the
struggle that went on during the first
advance They are not many in num-
Der, but, for the troops involved, they
gave evidence that the Americans
have been in the hardest fighting that
has been going on here The Bolshe-
visits are fighting more savagely here
than elsewhere to hold their positions.
