AN ATTACK OF GRIP USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS IN WEAKENED CONDITION Doctors in all parts of tho country havo been kept busy with tho epidemic of Grip which has visited bo many homes. The symptoms of grip this year ore often very distressing and leavo tho system in a run down condition, particularly tho kidneys which seem to suiter most, as almost every victim complains of lame back and urin ary troubles which should not ho neglect ed, as these danger signals often lead to dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists report a largo sale on Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which so many peoplo say soon heals and strengthens the kidneys after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root, being an herbal compound, has a gentle healing effect on the kidneys, which is al most immediately noticed in most cases by those who try it. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

NEWS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK Premier Lloyd George Again Is Winner in Crisis Brought on by General Maurice. GIVEN VOTE OF CONFIDENCE German Attack South of Yprcs Smash d. While Allies Improve Their Po sltions at Many Polnt6 Investiga tion of American Aircraft Produc tion Collapse Started. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Premier Lloyd Ceorge and his cabi net successfully weathered another storm last week when the house of commons, by a vote of 2!Kt to 1(X1, re jected Herbert Asqulth's motion pro viding for the appointment of a spe cial committee t Investigate charges tnnde against the premier hy MaJ. Ucn. Frederick 11. Maurice. Having de clared that he would considered the action of tho commons as u test of cotillilence, Mr. Lloyd (Jeorge would have leslgned and turned the conduct ol the war over to Mr. Asqulth had the latter been sustained. As It Is he has won another great personal victory largely by means of the statement he made in the house an e.v parte state ment, to he sure, but one that Im pressed his hearers with his evident honesty and frankness. Tho charges made hy General Mau rice, formerly director of military op erations, were that the premier qntl oilier officials had deceived the people by false statements concerning tho army. The accusations were fully re fated hy Lloyd Ocorge, who showed that his statements were made on In formation obtained from General Mau rice's department. He protested vig orously against such distracting and paralyzing controversies and Implored that there should be an end to "snip ing." IIo called Maurice's action a llugrant breach of discipline, especial ly pernicious In Its effect on a new army ucd not understandable to tho al lies of Great Rritnln. There Is no reason to question the patriotism of General Maurice's mo tives in precipitating the crisis, but it Is cvluent that he was made tho tool of the political opponents of tho pre mier who hoped to ride Into olllco on the resulting storm. Presumably the offending olllcer will bo court mnr tlalcd. ) Last week passed with only one Im portant Infantry action on tho west front,-hut neither army has been Idle. Tho henvy artillery of the allies hns been contlnunlly hammering the Ger man positions and especially devoting Itself to smashing the enemy's lines of communications nnd munition depots and to hampering the bringing up of re-enforcements nnd supplies. In this the aviators hove given Invaluable aid and tho work has been so well dono that the renewal of the offensive was perforco delayed. Heavy and frequent rains nlso handicapped the Germans and they found great difficulty In mov ing their ponderous tanks nnd lnrgest guns across the devastated country, the roads being consistently broken up by shell lire and their repnlr4mado nl , most Impossible. Meantime tho allies took every op portunity to Improve their positions mil In many local operations advanced their lines and strengthened their hold on tho cnm'mnndlug heights both In Plcardy and In Flanders. In these i tights tho Australians nnd Canadlnns had a prominent part, the former be tween tho Ancre and the Sntnino and the latter south of Arras, both contin gents making considerable nnd very valuable gains. All along the line the British, French and Americans re pulsed all tho enemy raids until Wednesday night, when, after heavy artillery preparation, tho Germans at tacked In the sector of Ypres, between La Clytto and Voormczeele. It was their apparent Intention to outflank the Important heights or Scherpenberg and Mont Rouge from tho northeast und they succeeded In forcing the Brit ish ami French there out of some of their tlrst-llne trenches. Itut later lu the night the British counter-attackeil and regained all that had been lost. Two Hun divisions carried out this at tack and they suffered heavy casual ties. On Thursday morning the enemy made a now attack on the Flanders front north of Kemmel and slightly bent the British Hue. At the same time troops from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick made a great raid on the German outpost line at Nettvllle-Vltas-so, southeast of Arras, taking prison ers and guns and Inflicting many cas ualties. Most of the American troops that have heen moved Into the battle re gton appear to be placed along the line between Montdldler and Noyon, und they are giving a good account of them selves there, as are nlso those hold ing the Tool sector. There have heen no heavy operations lu either sector recently, but the artillery lu both Is always active and the American gun ners havo proved their excellence. They are now using their, heavy artillery northwest of Tool after several weeks of preparation. The American disuni ty lists, still relatively small, are In creasing dally. tea There Is no Indication that tho Ger man high command will abandon Its plan of smnshlng the British army ami forcing u breach between It und the French. LudendorlT Is Increasing his resources In every way possible and Austria and Bulgaria have been called on to supply troops for garrison duty In order that the Germans may ho sent to tho front. Intimations such as have appeared In somu German papers that the attempt to reach Paris will be abandoned mean nothing. No doubt there will bo repeated great offensives throughout the summer, and the allies are prepnrlng to resist them to the ut most, their Intention being to main tain their lines unbroken until Amer ica's men are there In sufllclent num bers to cnnble Gencrnl Foch to do more than resist. It Is admitted that with out our army the alllcf could not gain a military decision over the Germans under existing conditions. How long the German people will stand for the slaughter of their men Is another ques tion. From captured mull and the more outspoken of their newspapers It Is evi dent they nro becoming sickened by tho awful bloodshed, but they prob ably will continue submissive so long an they think there is a chance of n final victory. . H Tho movement of Americans to France continues with Increasing swiftness nnd it is tho avowed In tention of the wnr department to hnve not less thnn 1,000,000 men there by tho end of May. The administration nnd tho congressional leaders, except ing such men as Kltchln, now view the situation comprehensively and agree that no limit should be put on tho size of our army, bb It Is likely as many ns 8,000,000 men will have to ho placed under nrms within thrco years. A totul of about four millions will bo avalhtblo Immediately, anil Provost Marshal Crowder and others believe It will be necessnry to Increase tho draft age limit to forty yenrs within a year. In deed, mnny detnlls havo been worked out with this Increnso In view. Classes 2, 3 nnd 4 of tho druft are being care fully combed out to eliminate slackers and mnny names will thus ho added to class 1. a Austrian reports tell of the presence of American troops on tho Italian front, though this had not been an nounced hy Washington. Tho expected offensive on that front has not yet ma terialized, but It Is believed It will not bo much longer delayed, hecauso of tho critical state of affairs In Kmporor Carl's realm. Hunger and discontent tire Increasing so greatly that troops havo been concentrated In tho most disaffected parts of tho empire. Also there havo been serious disturbances In tho Austro-Hungarlun Meet, the crews of which nro largely Slnvs and men of Italian origin, Roumanln has submitted to what seemed tho Inevitable und signed n pouco treaty with the central powers. Of course she loses much and gain's nothing. Tho Instrument provides that most of the Dobrudja ho ceded to Bul garia and other Roumnntan territory to Austria und Hungary; tho central powers are lo control the navigation of the Daiiiibe, n,,d the Roumanian iirmv, except ten divisions, Is to be de mobilized, Its equipment going to the central powers until the conclusion of a general peace. The queen of Koumiiulu and her chil dren reiiisc to recognize the peaeo treaty nnd lose no opportunity to nf froiu the Germans lu Ihelr country. ci The German vice chancellor an nounced the establishment of a speclnl department to regulate Germany's eastern policy, and defended her policy of Intervention In Finland, declaring It had lustired the Independence nnd freedom of that country and was un dertaken at the request of tho Icgltl-mntoj'-lnnlsh government. It Is report ed that Grand Duke Adolf Frledrlch of Mecklenburg-Strelltz has been selected as king of Finland. Little news of mo ment came from Russia or the Ukrnlno Inst week. It Is quite evident now thnt Germany will get little food from tho latter country this year. In Palestine the British forces np pnrently mot with n rcverso which compelled them to evacuate Ks-Salt and retire to tho west tintik of tho Jor dan. Constantinople claimed tho Turks administered n stinging defeat to General Allenby's troops. I Nicaragua lined herself up with most of tho rest of the nations on Tuesday by formally declaring wnr on Germany and Its allies. Its congress empowered tho president to employ all tho re sources of tho nation In prosecuting the wnr. 11 Gtitzou Borglum's charges that graft, Incotnpqteucy nnd pro-German Influ ences were responsible for tho col lapse of America's aircraft program could not ho Ignored, so President Wil son ordered a thorough Investigation made by tho department of Justice Tho sennto committee on military af fairs also announced It would rcsumo Its Inquiry Into tho fiasco. Both tho administration nnd tho commlttco as sured tho public Micro would bo no "whitewashing" und that if anyone was guilty ho would be duly punlshod. Secretary Baker protested against a public hearing of the matter by the senators 'on tho ground that It would only nld and comfort tho enemy, nnd ho told the military commlttco of the house that results under tho manage ment of John D. Ryan would soon ho gratifying and thnt criticism of the con dition of nlrplano production was pro German. There 1b reason to bclicvo His confidence In Mr. Ryan and tho re organized bureau Is not misplaced, but tho public would llko to know what became of tho $040,000,000 already spent and why there Is so little to show for it. N Another revclntlon thnt has stirred congress nnd that Secretary Baker may be called on to explain Is thnt quan tity production of tho henvy Browning gun and of heavy artillery Is very far behind the hopes of the people that woro inspired by tho promises of the wnr department. In the caso of the howitzers It would scent that valuablo tlmo has been wnstcd In the effort to devls ruc carries of a now and dis tinctively Amcrlcnn model Instead of going ahead with tho models found satisfactory by tho British and French. There Is nlso a great shortage In pis tols, though General Dickson, chief of the nrms manufacturing division, says the outlook for Improvement In this Is encouraging. Mr. Bnker suys an In quiry into tho entire question of ord nanco production Is being made by Lieut. Col. Bascoin Little. ra Tho rnllrond wngo commission Inst week recommended Increases for all employees whose wages wero less than $2,r0 a month In December, 1015. Tho Increnses range from 4.0 to 43 per cent, tho lower tho wages, tho greater tho relatlvo increase. Tho total annual In crease In tho pay roll of the railroads would bo about $300,000,000. Director General McAdoo can use his discretion In conforming to tho recommendations of tho commission, nnd Is expected to render his decision very soon. Largo as tho Increnses are, they do not como up to tho demands of tho railway workers' unions and considerable dls satlsftlctlon Is expressed. However, Mr. McAdoo's decision doubtless will bo accepted with good grace.
