12 MEN ALONE TO DECIDE BATTLE ON WEST FRONT General Radcliffe Says Vic tory Depends on Reserves; Enemy on Kcmmel Hill I.ondon, April 27.—"1n the end. It will be a question of who has the last reserves," said General Delma Radcliffe, chief director of military operations at the War Office, in a review of the western front situation yesterday afternoon. "These r'eserves on the western front are now in the hands of Gen eral Foch, in whom both armies have the fullest confidence. He so far has employed only a small proportion of his available reserves, and this Is a great augury for the future. "In this long-drawn-out test of endurance of the nations, it is im perative to get every man possible to support the battlefront, for men alone will tell in the end." The Germans, in their attack on the northern battlefront, have occu pied Kemmel Hill, General Radcliffe stated. General Radcliffe declared it was perfectly possible for the Allies to hold the Ypres sector, even with the Germans on Kemmel Hill, but that it was not convenient to have them there and it was hoped to eject them. At Kemmel Hill, continued the general, the Germans gained 2,000 yards on a front of about 1.200 yards, including the important tac tical feature of the hill itself, which gives important observation over all the ground to the north. "The net result in the Kemmel sec tor so far is that the Germans have gained about 2,000 yards on a front of about 1,200 yards," says General Radcliffe. "This gain is not large, but it involves very important ground, and there is no question that it is a very serious one. "There is nothing decisive about the loss of Kemmel Hill, but it Is one of the most important tactical features, as the hill is an observation point for all the ground to the north. It still remains to be seen, however, whether it will remain in the enemy's hands. "Our line to the north is all right, and it is entirely possible to hold on to the Ypres sector, even if the enemy is on Kemmel. But his pres ence there is not convenient, and we hope to get him off." Teutons Wound Selves to Escape From Battle The Hague, April 27.—1n view of the fact that the Germans are try ing to create the impression that American troops at the front lack courage and that some have com mitted suicide to avoid going into the trenches, interesting testimony is given by a traveler, who has seen Bed Cross trains passing through Aachen from the great offensive. H J states that hundreds of German soldiers nave been wounded in the left liara and that these wounds seem to have been self-inflicted with rifles in order that they may net have to go to the front. The traveler says there are 8,000 to 9,000 wounded men in Aachen and that 500 or 600 pass through daily. Ti'e lightly wounded are well cared fur, but those who are severely v ounded are transported to the oth er end of Germany, often dying on their long journey. ADDRESS BV DO. HAGM',I,I, Knola. Pa..

GASINTHESTOMAGH IS DANGEROUS Recommends Daily Use of Magnesia To Overcome Trouble, Caused by Fermenting Food and Acid Indigestion Gas and wind in the stomach ac companied by that full bloated feel ing after eating are almost certain evidence, of the presence of excessive hydrochloric acid in the Btomach, creating so called "acid indigestion." Acid stomachs are dangerous be cause too much acid irritates the deli cate lining of the stomach often lead ing to gastritis accompanied by seri ous stomach ulcers. Food ferments and sours creating the distressing gas which distends the stomach and hamp ers the normal functions of the vital internal organs, often affecting the heart. It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eat ing. This will drive the gas, wind and bloat right out of the body, sweeten the stomach, neutralize the excess acid and prevent its formation and there is no sourness or pain. Bis urated Magnesia (in powder or tablet form—never liquid or milk) is harm less to the stomach, inexpensive to take and the best form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used bv thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indiges tion. G. A. Gorgas.—Advertisement. FreeßailroadFareto Drink or Drug Users Hon. James E.

PROHIBITION IMPORTANT THAN POLITICS Saloon Is Only Friend of Brewer, Says Lecturer Be fore. Great Antibooze Rally in Technical High School i "Issues are more important than ! parties. Forget politics on election | day and vote for a dry Keystone j State." That in few words, was the I message brought by Prof. J. H. Dickason, of Wooster, Ohio, to the big patriotic rally held under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. in the Technical High School Auditorium las tnight. In eloquent words he de piicted the evils of the rum traffic ad pleaded for co-operation of vot ters in the "death struggle with the monster." Prof, Dickason opened his address with a pretty little allegorical vi sion, telling of the conversation he would have with his grandson in 1950. "The word 'saloon' will be obsolete. "The saloon is responsible for 5,000 suicides each year; it leads 10.000 criminals to their death each year;; ruins 60,000 girls; brings 65,- 000 to 75,000 men and women to drunkards' graves, and starts 100,000 boys and men and women on the downward path: all this in the course of a single year! Worse Than Huns "Pennsylvania brewers brewed more than a half million barrels of beer more than entire Gemany last year. Big business is against the rum traflic; the only big business itthafrosps.y "EThe tl -co that is for the saloon is the saloon business. "For the monley spent every year for liquor, we could build one hun dred Lincoln Highways. In three years every family could have a Ford automobile and SIOO for carbu retor trouble and gasoline. The money spent each year for liquor would buy almost the entire Liberty Bond issue." The speaker closed by reciting a poem written by Edmund Vance Cook, urging the workers not to quit but to stick to it until they won out. Last night's rally opened with a luncheon served in the lunchroom of the Technical High School building. D. D. Hummelbaugh, secretary of the board of education, told a num ber of amusing incidents about his school life, and J. J. Brelim, toast master, introduced Mrs. J. G. San ders. Mrs. Sanders spoke on com munity singing, quoting a number of eminent authorities, and character izing Dr. John C. Freund, who spoke here recentlyq, as a "musical mis sionary." She declared that com munity singing in the schools will weld the children together and in spire them with patriotic fervor. Luncheon Guests The following were guests at the luncheon: School guests George Enders, Emerson Baer, H. M. Breiz, Frank Witman. F. E. Downes, D. D. Hanth melbaugh. J. J. Brehm. John F. Kob, M. H.

In the latter case the court holds that laws give authority for courts to con sider reasons specifically mentioned in objections. "Except for those mentioned, the court has no power to set aside a nominating petition. The objection here raised is not to be found among them,'' says the opinion. "However, that may be, the objection to the right to the signers to make the nomination in question cannot prevail. The fact that some of them, sufficient to reduce their number below that necessary to make the nomination, voted for a majority of the candidates of another body at the fall election, does not prevent them from acting as mem bers of the party under which they were then enrolled. Untitled to Vote "By virtue of their enrollment they were entitled to vote at both the fall and spring primaries. Their party enrollment lasts for the purpose of participating in the fall and spring primaries of their party, un less changed, until the following fall enrollment. Under the statutes re lating to the subject, the enrollment shows the elector's party affiliation for one year, but not for the whole year if he chooses to change it by voting at the preceding November election for a majority of the can didates of a party other than that under which he was enrolled and by being enrolled at the spring enroll-] ment as a member ot such party. In other words, the fall enrollment fixes his political status until the next fall registration and enroll ment, unless he changes it by voting for a majority of the candidates of another party and actually enrolls as a member of such party at the spring enrollment, and this the stat ute leaves to his choice." "It is true that section thirteen of the act of July 12, 1913, P. L. 719, provides for refusing an elector the ballot of a party fo§ which he asks at the primary, when challenged, unless he makes oath that at the last preceding election at w'hich he voted he voted for a majority of its candidates. But this provision seems to be in conflict with the provisions of the subsequent acts of July 24, 1913, P. L. 577, relating to the per sonal registration of electors and their enrollment as members of po litical parties in cities of the first and second classes, etc., and of July 25, 1913, P. L 1043, providing for the registration and enrollment of voters of the state according to their re spective party preferences.

TO START MURDER TRIALS MONDAY Kyler and Evans, Colored, Will Probably Be Frist Defendants Called Trials of Charles Kyler and Wil liams Evans, both colored, charged with murder, will be started on Mon day at the special session of crim inal court.

John Battis and Hiram Graham. other than those In cities of the first and second classes. That this should be done seems to be the leg islative intention, for the provision for challenge respecting party affili ations is substantially repeated in section six of the act of July 25, 1913. P. L 1046, but districts in cities of the first, second and third classes are excepted therefrom. "The reason for the exception is apparent. The enrollment in dis tricts in cities under party affilia tions is made personally by the elec tor under oath and continues unless changed at the spring enrollment, until the next fall enrollment, while in the other districts of the state it may be made by the registration as sessor upon inquiry bf the elector or by the elector through an ap propriate certificate and when made continues from year to year until the elector himself changes It. In the latter districts there is no oppor tunity given at the time of enroll ment. but in the cities the oppor tunity then to challenge Is express ly given. "There is, therefore, not the same reason or necessity for challenge at the primaries in the cities as there is in the other districts of the state. "It follows that if an elector by vir tue of his enrollment at the fail en rollment as a member of a political party thereby secures the right to vote for its candidates at the pri maries, he has the right also to take part in placing the names of the candidates on the party primary bal lot. We are of the opinion that the nomination petition is valid." All but Nineteen Poles Removed by Light Co.

Thurcton, Even bigger boys the Magician yes. and girls, too, will practice palm ing of handkerchiefs in the hope of startling their friends with their newly discovered talents. For Thurs ton, the famous magician, is the at traction at the Orpheum to-night. Thurston is here prepared to demon strate anew that he remains superb ly solitary in presenting mysterious performances; that in prodiginous proportions, splendid equipment, mod ern progress and public esteem he is now "the greatest magician on earth." When phenomena, apparently contrary to the rules of natural sci ence and in violation of the estab lished laws of cause and effect are presented, it causes human fancy to grope in vain for an explanation and attributes the producer of such phe nomena. a knowledge of those things that are mysterious and hidden from mortals who are not conversant with the secrets of magic, spiritualism and the occult sciences of the Orient. To tell of the whole happenings of the two hours and a haif performance would be like telling all the fairy tales in one story, as so many seem ing miracles are performed. The Thurston idea makes for good in the sense that it contributes ma terially and sensibly to the joy of living; and it is doubly prized in that this holds good for the grownups as well' as the little folk. An array of clever Keith acts are appearing at the Majestic this week. Juno Salmoo. billed as The At the Daredevil Dandy, opens the Majcntic show with some contortion feats that are very good. Next on the program is a clever sis ter team, Deiisle and Johnson, who have a pleasing little comedy singing offering. Robert Hyman, the well known stock favorite, and Harry Hay den present an enjoyable comedy dramatic sketch entitled "Caught With the Goods." l'"Vazer. Bunce and Hardy are a trio of singers and comedians who put over an act that wins them generous applause. Closing the show is an attractive musical comedy en titled "The Count and the Maid," that is full of good comedy, singing and dancing. _ . A lively comedy variety offering, en titled "Rocky Pass." is the headlinet scheduled for the first three days of next week. A good comedy show is being booked around this attraction. Viola Dana. the winsome little Metro star, who scored such a tre mendous success Viola Dana In in "Blue Jeans." "Breaker* Ahead" appears at the Colonial Theater to-day in a romance entitled "Break ers Ahead." Miss Dana is seen in the congenial role of a young girl reared among the fisher folk. Her bright disposition makes her beloved by all, but much sorrow co~°s into her life, and through the splendid tight that she puts tip to overcome these trials she sees the sun shining through the clpuds for her and the one she loves. Critics say that as in all of Viola Dana's pictures, "Breakers Ahead" is full of heart interest and appeal, and the fine acting of the star touches the hearts of the audience. Mondav and Tuesday of next week —magnificent Mary Garden will be seen in her second Goldwyn picture entitled "The Splendid Sinner." The many admirers of the famous prima donna will be given an opportunity to see how she looks in modern clothes. In "Rich Man, Poor Man," shown for the last time to-day at the Regent, Marguerite Clark is Maricaerltc seen in. a delightful Clnrk In role, that of Betty ••Itleh Man," Wynne, a charming Poor Man" girl, who after many years spent in a boardinghouse, enters the home of John K. Beeston. a cold-hearted, self ish financier, presumably his grand child. Betty brings love and sunshine into his life and he refuses to permit her \o leave him even after he dis covers that she has been foisted upon himself through the forgery of a man whose sole desire was to make Betty happy. Betty is the central figure in numerous thrilling scenes, and finally finds happiness in the love of a young man who really is the grandson of Beeston. Essaying one of the most unique roles in which he has ever appeared, Douglas Fairbanks, the famous Art craft star, will appear at the Regent the first three days of next week in a novel characterization, "Mr. Fix-It," which has just been released. In this interesting subject, Fairbanks will be seen as a young society man, whose hobby is to be happy and bring hap piness to others. The scenes of "Mr. Fix-It" transpire in the slums of New York as well as in the home of a wealthy New Tdrk family. Some very amusing complications arise, of which Fairbanks makes the most. H. C. Gordon, the celebrated Har risburg soloist, will sing "When You Are Lonesome DoußlaK Falrbnnka For Someone at the Victoria Who Is Lone some For You," at the Victoria Theater this afternoon and evening, Manager George an nounced last evening. This song has created a veritable furore In Broad way and is the most popular hit of the day. With Douglas Fairbanks appearing in "Flirting With Fate,' and an at tractive screen program in addition, the attractions at the Victoria to-day are many. Despite the elaborate pro gram. Manager George announced that there will be no advance in ad mission, the Victoria prices remaining the same at all times. This song was written by Ted Bar ron. author of "Liberty" and "On Honalulu." Miss Pearl Braddon. sis ter of the composer, while in this city yesterday, arranged for the sale of copies of the song at all local music stores. Incidentally, she is the young est song saleslady in the business.

Noted authority tells what causes Backache and Bladder weakness. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid ney pores so they sluggishly Alter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head aches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from slug gish kidneys. The moment y,ou feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus end ing bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful elier veseent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

THURSTON TRICKS THRONG THEATER Magician's Marvels Mystify Many; to Be at Orphcum Again Today Howard Thurston, whose reputation in the realm of magic has long since been established, is at the Orpheum again with a much more entertaining arr *y of illusions than before, pre sented in tho same mystifying man ner, some of the feats baffling the most attentive and imaginative in the audience. While some of the tricks have been , seen before, otliers are new and a 1 few of the old ones have been greatly j improved since Thurston's last ap- | pearance here. Probably the most in- I teresting and startling illusion is the | famous levitation feat, in which a| young woman is suspended in midair without any visible means of suport. lliurston has improved this offering so much that he now invites a small ' crowd upon tlie stage and lets a few ! come close to the girl, touch her. ! walk around the body and make a I complete examination. Her sudden I disappearance, a few seconds later. I while surrounded by more than a dozen persons, is another startling part of the entertainment. Some of the illusions and tricks seen before include aerial fishing, the spirit cabinet, the glass trunk, the vampire, pigeon pie, the mystery "Oh," the lady and the boy, arid the Bangkok bungalow. The capture of Villa, which Thurs ton is featuring on his present tour, is a clever offering, in which a mo torcycle and auto race are shown 011 the stage, after which the Mexican bandit is captufed by trickery in a rather surprising fashion. To answer the question, do the spirits come back, Thurston lias an amusing and fascinating offering. After a bit of fun the magician causes spirits to appear in a large cabinet, then produces other weird effects equally as surprising. His triple mys tery furnishes an excellent close for hia varied and unusual program. MAX ROBERTSON. NAPOLEON ONCEIAHT "A Footsore Army Is An Army Half Defeated."
