Dismissal of Jellico For Best Interest of Cause, Declares Bonar Law London, Wednesday, March 6. — 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 lord's 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 Jelllcoe 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." • FIRE MARSHAL WARNS Shiremanstown, Pa., March 7.—Wil liam Stansfield, assistant lire mar shal here, has received a letter from State Fire Marshal Chal Port, urgiag the Cleaning of alleys and backyards of rubbish and keeping chimneys and stovepipes well cleaned, as there have been three fires here in the course of a short time.

Gorgas Not to Ti a Cent of Anyone's Money Unless Allcnrhu 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 tree from rheumatism until the ac cumulated impurities communn can ed uric acid deposits, were dissolved ii. the Joints and muscles and expell ed from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. Ho freely gave his discovery to others who took it, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let suf ferers everywhere know about nis 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. —Advertisement.

R.'s Reading in the Sickroom New York, March 7.—When Theo dore Roosevelt was asked what ho had read while recovering from his recent operation he said: "I read six or eight detective stor ies, some by Arthur B. Reeve, the authors of the others I don't recall. Also I read a sort of secret service stcry by Crittenden Watson, 'Via Berlin,' and a very interesting one, the name of which I don't recall. Then I read Mommsen's 'History of Rome,' 'Leadership and Military Training,' by Lieutenant-Colonel Lincoln C. Andrews; 'The New Spirit of the New Army,' by Odell; 'The Empire of the Ptolemies,' by Ma liaKey, and some stories of racing and prizefighting by Charles E. Van Lean." U. S. ARMY AT FRONT DOUBLED IN STRENGTH [Continued from First Page.] 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 der as their training progresses and arrive at front line trenches to fill in casualty gaps only when they have been thoroughly seasoned. .10,000 Known As Corps Troops To fulfill the functions of an army corps it lias been found necessary to place under a corps commander in addition to his six infantry divisions, approximately 30,000 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 130.000 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 12 Inches Included in the corps troops are many units of heavy artillery equip ped with guns ranging up to 10 and 12 inches in caliber both before fixed emplacement and for mobile artillery. This comprises the artillery reserve of the corps. The great gen eral artillery reserve of the field army is under direct command of the army commander and included in his so-called army troops. The organization schedules show General Pershing is to be equipped eventually with artillery of all cal ibers on a 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 inch caliber, rifles of similar size in cluding heavy long range naval guns and probably, as soon as they are available, batteries of the monster American 16-inch naval rifles re cently developed. With this array of guns, enemy depots, twenty miles or more in the rear of his trenches could be kept under bombardment.
