IIOW' LUXEMBURG LADIES z TREATED GERMAN SCHEME. The story of the Germans’ at- tempt to induce the women of Luxemburg to form Red Cross so- cieties, an attempt which failed by reason of the Luxemburgers’ dislike of the Prussians is told by Mr. Francis Gribble In The Edin- burgh Review as follows: In my own neighborhood at all events, the plan was launched un- der favorable auSpices. The Cath- olic clergy,â€"secret adherents, a good many of them, of the Blue Blacksâ€"supported it; the doctor having a German Wifeâ€"a boister- ous lady, firmly convinced that the German Emperor would soon be Emperor of EurOpeâ€"was Will- ing to give up a portion of his time to the work. A resident Ger- man ladyâ€"the widow of a high German functionaryâ€"went around the village canvassing, talking of Barmseligkeit, and pointing out that there were sure to be lots of French, British and Belgian pris- oners who, no less than the Ger- mans. would need attention. A building was selected as a hospi- tal: classes of instruction for the volunteer helpers were organized: a public meeting was called: ap- prom‘ilte humanitarian speeches were made. And then. while we were all looking out for our first consignment of wounded, the scheme collapsed. Dr. Pierce’s Gofden Medical Discovery is a blood cleanser and alterative that starts the liver and stomach into vigorous action. ‘It‘: phug assiste the body tomake rich, red blpod, which feecls the heart, nerves, bram and organs of the body. ion feel clean, strong and strenuous. Patients having once used “ Anuric ” at Dr. Pierce’s lnvalids’ Hotel, have re- peatedly sent back for more. Such a demand has been created that Dr. Pierce has decided to put “Anuric” in the drug stores of this country, in a ready-to-use form. If not obtainabie send one dime by mail to Dr. Pierce for triai package or 50 cents for full treatment. We wondered why, and present- ly we found out. It appeared. that, when the appeal for recruits was addressed to the meeting, a lady had risen and offered her services for the nursing of French. British and Belgian wounded only. It fur- ther appeared that this lady’s prO- nosal had expressed the general sense of the meeting; that sever- al other ladies had mustered suf- ficient courage to hedge their of- fers of service with the same in- vidious restriction: and that abso- lutely no lady present, with the exception of those of German birth, was willing to work for the Red Cross unless she were allowed to pick and choose the nationality of her patients. The Prussians had made the mess. and the Prussians might clear it upâ€"that was the general senti- ment; and as the Prussians could only get the ladies of the neigh- borhood to conduct a hospital for them on those lines, they na- turally preferred to dispense al- together with their assistance. p In the capital, I believe, some of the ladies did help in the hos- pitals, but not by any means without friction. An attempt was made to assign them to German wards, leaving the French and Belgians to the care of German nurses who could not speak their language; but that refinement of cruelty was not accepted. The Luxemburg ladies got their way by threatening their resignation; and after that they found. of course, many opportunities of manifesting their sympathies, with the result that many inter- esting hospital anecdotes filtered through to us. One of them relat- ed to the visit paid to the hospital by the Kaiserin, who left aflower on the bed of every suffererâ€"to the intense disgust of the French wounded, who knew how the'Ger- man soldiers had ravaged their homes in flagrant violation of the laws of war. They tossed the flowers indignantly on to the floor and the Lozemburg nurse consol- ed them. “Never mind,” she said, “I’ll get a dust-pan and brush, and we’ll soon have that rubbish out of the way.” NOTE: This “Anuric” is adapted especially for kidney complaints and diseases arising from disorders of the kidneys and bladder, such as backache, weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con- gestion of the kidneys, inflammation of the bladder, scalding urine and urinary troubles. The physicians and specialists at Dr. Pierce’s great Institu- tion, at Buffalo, N. Y., have thoroughly tested this prescription and have been with one accord successful in eradicat- ing these troubles, and in most cases absolutely curing the diseased kidneys. Perhaps adversity may prepaw a man for the life beyond the grave, but it curtails his credit While on earth. her children how smart their father is, they look at her as re- proachfully as it they thought she :was losing her mind. ‘ Dear Mr. Editorâ€"I want to write you about “Anuric.” I was very sick, could hardly be up; I was in bed most of the time. Had terrible pains in m kidneys and back, so much so that had to scream sometimes when I was sittin down and wanted to get up, the pain was so great. I had tried a wellâ€"known kidney medicine but it didn’t help me. I heard of Dr. Pierce’s Anuric Tablets so I thought I would try them. I took only one box of the Tablets, and my back is now free from pain and I can work and take care of my family. I feel I cannot say enough for this medi- cine. Sincerely, MRS. WM. KELLER. wife’s.

Feeding the masses of the popula» tion in the larger cities by means of Central kitchens under municipal ans- ‘pices is the solution selected by the German Government to meet the probâ€" lem of the food supply and distribution during the period of the war.

In contra:';t to the terrific battle on the French. from at Verdun conditions on the British and Canadian fronts l-r've remains: almost normal, accordâ€" itzg to the weekly communique from the Canadian general regresentative at the front, which follows: Canadian General Headquarters in France, via London, May 26â€"â€"-â€"During the past week there was considerable artillery activity on the Canadian front. On various occasions sections of our line were heavily bombarded. Retaliation by our mortars and batteries proved effective in checking the enemy’s fire and severely damaged his trenches. Sniping remained normal. Machine gun and rifle fire were brisk on both sides, particularly at night. Good pro- gress was made in the construction and improvement of our own defensive works. Numerous hostile working parties were dispersed. Our patrols were consistently active, and gained much useful information. No enemy patrols were encountered. Bombs were dropped by German aviators in the vicinity of several of our camps and villages in our area. Their effect was insignificant. A British official communication on Saturday said: “Telegraphing May 25 Lieut.-Gen. Smuts reports his tr00ps have occupied the following localities without opposition: Ruwu Lager, on the Panagani River 26 miles south of the Kahe railway tiation on the Usam- bara railway; Lembeni, on the same railway 20 miles south of Kahe, and Ngulu, in the Ngulu Pass between the northern and central Pare mountain groups 8 miles southeast of Lembeni. In the Kondoa, Irangi area, where the enemy suffered a severe check May 9 and May 11, there are reports of re- newed hostile activity. The German forces in Ruanda are in retreat before the converging Belgian columns, which hold Kigalli, Nyanza, etc.” Saloniki reported on Sunday: A Bul- garian army of 25,000 led by German officers and supported by German cavalry, has crossed the Greek border; captured Fort Rupel and is in the Strumitza Valley. The invaders con- trol the railroad from Saloniki to Kavala, which opens up an almost un- interrupted passage to their capital, Sofia. The Greek forces at Fort Rupel fired twenty-six shots at the advancing Bulgarians, and then retired. Athens is highly aroused over the invasion and Venizelos, newly reâ€"elected to Parliament by Mitylene, denounces the nation’s shrinking. In a White Paper issued on Monday the fact that Gen. Chas. V. Townshend, who surrendered at Kut-el-Amara' after being besieged by the Turks for 143 days, protested against the sending or a weak force up the Tigris toward Bagdad before the attempt was made was revealed. After warning his superior, Gen. Sir John Nixon. Of his opinion of the grave risk not the on. deavor Gen. Townshend made the at- tempt. The White Paper shows that on October 3 last he said that it the occupation of Bagdad was desirable two divisions (30,000 men). exclusive of communication troops. was neces- sary. He also protested to the m ray of India. ‘ The British House of Commons has rarely seen a demonstration of greater unity than was displayed Thursday afternoon, when the leaders of all fac- tions flocked to the standard of the Prime Minister in an effort to achieve a lasting settlement of the Irish ques- tion. Mr. Asquith made an earnest plea for the settlement of the Irish question by agreement among the con- tending parties in Ireland, and an- nounced that David Lloyd-George had undertaken the delicate task of bring- ng the hostile factions together. The Premier concluded with an appeal that, for a tune, all debate on the q estion, both in the House of Com- n:c-.-s and outside, be suspended, in view of the adverse effect such argu- ment might have on the diificult under- taking facingt he Government. John Redmond the hationalist leader, ac- quiesced in the request, adding his ardent desire for a solution of the difficulties of his country. Mr. Red- mond was followed by his political archâ€"enemy, blr 136m :1: Carson, who tendered his support to the proposi- tion, and by tne Independent Irish leader, W ilii..m O’ Brien, who did like- wise.

The signature of King George was has affixed on Thursday to the military “161' service bill recently passed by Parlia- day ment. In giving the Royal sanction 530' King George issued the following mes- the sage to the nation: “To enable our eve icountry to organize more eiiectively 195- its military resources in the present l§5t great struggle for the cause of civiliza- ilSh tion I have. acting on the advice at 3011' [my Ministers, deemed it necessary to an- enroll every able-bodied man between had ‘the ages of eightene and forty-one.

No complaints have reached the Canadian Red Cross. One writer speaks of the camp at Hanover as good, and adds: “What we greatly reed is sporting gear, footballs, boxing gloves, etc., and if you can do anything for us we shall be grateful.” In this camp there are 400 Britishers, most of whom are Canadians. Together with reports of incidents indicating an early offensive by the allies on the Balkan front the follow- ing despatch comes from Athens: The Immediate objective of the Anglo- French in occupying Salonica, the de- fence of the position against the Aug- tinâ€"Germans and the Bulgarians, has been practically accomplished. The ultimate objectiveâ€"a general ofl’ensive intended to drive the enemy out of Serbia and to invade Bulgariaâ€"is nearing realization. The reorganized Serbian army has already been trans- ferred to 8:11an for this object. flops around Loos, St. E101 and Y9?“ haVe been shelled with particular violence. Many mines have been ex- ploded, the crater caused by those being occupied by the Br‘tish in every instance. London despatches on Sunday said: The tremendous pressure of the Aus- trian infantry and the bombardment of their huge guns continue unabated in the Lagarina Valley, but the Italians are stubbornly resisting further ad- vances. For the first time in a week the Italian War Office report‘issued on Sunday has no record of any fur- ther retirement. All along the line the same resolute resistance is being offered by the defenders. The Aus- trians have driven a wedge for a cer- tain distance into the Italian centre, but have been unable to advance the wings. A Swiss oificer who has just returned to Milan from the Trentino estimates the Austrian losses for the twelve days of the present battle at the rate of nearly 6,000 men a day. Other reports from Berne set the Aus- trian losses at 69,000. The ofiicial despatch of Sir Douglas Haig makes special reference to the work of the following Canadian units in carrying out and repelling local attacks and raids: First Canadian Divisional Artillery, Twenty-second Canadian Howitzer Brigade, Fifth, Seventh, Twenty-ninth and Forty-ninth Battalions. The Canadian Army Medi- cal Corps is reterred to as having dis- played marked efiiciency and devotion to duty. Gen. Haig mentions the ar- rival of the Anzacs and South Africans and additional Canadian forces in France, and says that this made pos- sible the taking over of a greater ex- tent of front. London reported Sunday as follows: The Germans have been more active than usual against the British lines the past few days, and their expenditure of ammunition has been lavish, accord- Ing to Sir Douglas Haig’s report from headquarters in the flelgl, The p981- Services of Battalions Recognized by , Gen.
