Whet the American 8oldleP Intends to
Oo With Kaiser It Not Under-
stood in England
With commendable enterprise a Lon-
don editorial brother seeks to clarify
for his readers the quaint expression of
certain American soldiers who have In-
timated that their first undertaking in
Europe will be to "can the kaiser” In
interpreting them to Intend to seal up
- his high mightiness hermetically how-
ever the Londoner’s seal outruns his
information
Nix nix friend it doesn’t mean that
at alii says the St Louis Post-Dispatch
It means merely that they pro-
pose to decorate the German emperor
with hardware to take his taw pour
the leather Into him put him on the
pan slip him one on the wind I kid-
nap his Angora show him where he
gets off To put It more plainly hav-
ing bought chips in a game where the
custom has been to play ’emelosto
the waistcoat the Americans hate
taken off the limit and Announce they
will copper all bets see all raises and
Intend the very first time the kaiser
gets his feet wet to call him off the
Christmas tree
It Is plain in the circumstances that
our British brethren are about to' find
their knowledge of English handsome

MANY PRISONERS ARE TAKEN
Germans Continuing Advance In Rus-
sia Capture Three Hundred Thou-
sand In Roumanian
Drive
Again the great Anglo-French war
machine has struck the Germane in
Flanders and again it has been suc-
cessful The village of Langemarck
and other important positions were
taken
The latest blow In the Tpres area
was on a front of nine miles and only
on the extreme right were the allied
forces unable to make progress The
Germans resisted stubbornly suffering
heavy losses but on the greater part
of the front they were forced to leave
valuable positions in the possession of
the allies
Before the fighting between Lena
and Loos had died out the French and
British moved forward north of tha
Vpres-Menin road Throughout Thurs-
day bitter fighting continued On the
left the French occupied the ground
between the' Ypres canal and Martje-
vaart and then drove the Germans
from the' important bridgehead of
Dreigrachten
Field Marshal Halg’a men carried
the center and right of the attacking
line In the center the British soon
gained their first objective and then
established themselves in Lange
marck Continuing their attack they
advanced a half mile beyond the vil-
lage gaining a trench system which
was the final objective of the day
On the right flank the German re-
sistance was most desperate Early in
the day the British drove the Teutons
back but numerous counter-attacks
in which they suffered heavily enabled
the Germans to regain the lost ground
In the Lena sector the Canadians
made additional progress east of Loos
and north ot Lena German prlaonera
to the number of nearly 900 were tak-
en in the fighting here bringing the al-
lied total for the two days to 2700 In
Flanders the British also captured
some guns from the Germans
Berlin Doubts It
Although Berlin says the allied at-
tack in Flanderd had been forced back
with heavy losses it admits French
and British gains at Dreigrachten on
the Tser canal and near Langemarck
These are the places where London of-
flcially says the French and British
advanced
W
Except for continued heavy artil
lery fighting on the Alsne front and
near Verdun a gain by the French
south of Allies north of The Alsne
has been the only important infantry
action south of Lens The French
captured German trenches on a front
of two-thirds of a mile took 120 pris-
oners and repulsed fouf German coun
ter-attacks
Germans Cross 8ereth
On the Sereth river in southwestern
Moldavia the Rumanians and Rus

More than half the time I couldn’t do
any work I had Indigestion and stom-
ach trouble too and my back hurt so
bad that I couldn’t lay on my left side
at alL I tried every medicine I saw
advertised and many prescriptions be-
sides but kept getting worse
“My brother living in Atlanta told
me what Tanlac had done for him and
begged me to try It Well sir I have
taken four bottles In all and have
thrown my cratches away for the rheu-
matism Is entirely gone and I can
Jump two feet off the ground without

One delight ot small Harold was to
go on an errand to a neighboring store
After - school yesterday at No 8 he
was sent by his mother to get a siphon
of vichy He was long in returning
When he did arrive his mother scold-
ed him for consuming so much time
“Why” she exclaimed- “and the si-
phon Is nearly empty Do you mean to
tell me that is all the vichy there was
In the bottle when you got it?” -“Well
mamma” Harold replied “on
the way home I met little Sarah’s cat”
“Well?”
“The cat said p-s-a-t to me and the
siphon said p-s-s-t’ to her”

Disturbing Remark
A country lawyer was defending a
prisoner who had killed a man by hit-
ting him on the head with a brick
The case against the prisoner being
quite clear the counsel endeavored to
get his client off by making a per-
fervid speech He said : “Tho respon-
sibility of defending my client Is al-
most overwhelming This morning as
I was walking in my garden enjoying
the lovely sunshine and balmy air lis-
tening to the birds singing and look-
ing at all the beautiful flowers I said
to myself 'My poor client Immured in
his cell can see none of these’
things t’” -
Just then a spectator at the back of
the court shouted: “Neither can the
man he hit on the head with a brick I”
