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." •

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism
Discoverer Tells Geo. A. 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.

T. 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.
