OGDEN Dell Adams of Layton, Utah, stopped off here on his way home from a hunting trip and displayed a deer, a mountain sheep and a mountain goat, which he bagged on the middle fork of the Salmon river. His companions on the trip were A. M. Johnson of Avon and Billy Wilson, an Idaho guide. Each of these also shot a deer, a sheep and a goat.

Ten diapason mighty U looked fit each men years ago other la unbelieving wonder they could not realize that the war was over. Nor could tbey realize then what their accomplishment had been nor what new page they had writter ln history. They were too near to it to see the meaning of it all clearly. All tha they knew then or eared to know-- was that the armistice was signed it was over "le guerre est flnll" And now, a decade later, they know but little more than they did one minute after 11 o'clock on November 11, 1918. 7Yn years Is too short a tlrre to give the mind of man a proper perspective on as mighty an event as the World war. It may be done after ten times ten years, although, as a popular American novelist has said in one of his romances of the Revolutionary war: "After a hundred years the history of a great war waged by a successful nation Is commonly reviewed by that nation with retrospective complacency. Distance dims the panorama; haze objures the ragged gaps In the pageant until the long lines cf victorious armies move smoothly across the horizon, with never an abyss to check their As Foch developed a deeper Insight Into human nature and the nature of a national war, so he gained a clearer vision of the goal of the war and he knew when to stop. Thus, If he will rank below Napoleon as a strategist, he may be placed higher as a grand strategist, for of such the securthe war are ity and prosperity of the nation after a better test than brilliancy of maneuver. In his centenary oration on Napoleon, Foch himself foreshadowed this verdict: "He forgot that a man cannot be God: that beyond the Individual there is the nation; that beyond man there Is morale; and that war, Is not the supreme goal, for beyond that there silence awe-inspirin- g triumph." But even though the meaning of that conflict cannot yet be written down, because the reverberations of the pistol shot fired by a madman ln Sarajevo In the summer of 1914 are still being heard In various parts of the world, there Is one chapter ln the history of the World war that an be written with at least a fair degree of "h. of the "captains and the kings" accuracy. la whose hands lay t!o destiny of nations in those years and ln whose minds momentous decisions had to be made not once but repeatedly? It was the common soldier, of course, the poilu, the Tommy, the Anzac, the Canuck and the Yank, who fought the war, and there Is no need to examine Into how well he did his Job. The results speak for that They won the war. But what of the men who had the sny as to how they should fight It, these "captains" who had to decide how much "cannon fodder" they could afford to spend Jn winning an essential victory? Did they In their planning and directing the fighting do their Job as well as did the men who had to do the fight lug? Is It yet too early to adjudge them fairly and say what their place In history as war loaders shall be? Let an English officer who Is generally accepted as a military critic of the first rank answer that, lie Is Capt B. II. Uddell Hart, swvssor to Colonel Repington as military critic of the London Dally Telegraph and military adviser of the Encyclopedia Brlttanlca, and In a book "Reputations Ten Years After," published by Little. Brown and Company, he evaluates the "captains" of the World war. The preface to the book states bis method of doing so as follows: These studies have been approached essentlalb In the spirit of an hloforlan. They hnve been treated In the manner of a portrait painter. Tha moment for them has been chosen In ordet to achieve the closest possible reconciliation between the advantaRe of contemporary experience of events and personalities on the one hand, and. on the other, the evidence of the documentary records which are now avallnble to throw light on thv critical actions and discussions which Influenced tha course of the World war. Thus may blstor approximate the most nearly to truth. After this Introduction, the "portrait painter" proceeds to depict Marshal Joffre, "The Modem Delphic Oracle"; Erich Von Falkenhayn, "The Extravagance of I'rudcnce"; Marshal Ualllenl "The Real Victor of the Marrie"; Ilaig of Bcr mersyde, "The Essence of Britain"; Ferdinand Foch, "The Symbol of the Victorious Will"; Erich "The Robot Napoleon"; I'etaln. Ludendoiff, Military Economist"; Allenby of Megiddo, "The Evolution of a Leader"; Hunter Liggett, "A Professor of War and Unman Nature"; and "Black Jack" Periling, "The American.'" To Americans, no doubt, the opinion expressed by tl.Ii British military expert of the man who im Is peace "... It may be true that Napoleon forgot more than Foch ever knew. But Napoleon forgot. Foch learned. Courtesy, Little, Brown nnd Co. was chosen to lead their sons and brothers ln battle will be more interesting than his "portraits" of any of the other "captains." Here Is his summary of Pershing: In one oi" the loaders of the enemy, the military expert sees another Napoleonic figure, but in this case he was a "Robot Napoleon." That figure is Erich Ludendorff, the Geraian chief of staff under Oindenburg, of whom he writes: . "100-per-ce- nt ... clear-sighte- front . . . Reviewing the course of the war's last phase. It would seem beyond doubt that Pershing was unfairly tried, that an exploitation of the St. Mlhiel stroke by an advance toward Metx, with the "blooded" divisions and preparations, which he used at St. Mihiel, would have e admade better progress than the vance. Even so, however. It could hardly have made the rapid penetration which was essential to fulfill his strategic aim. Thus the ultimate verdict on hla strategy, as on his training doctrine, must be thai It was more Idealistic than realistic. Like the French, In the enrly phase of the war, It foundered on the rock ot the machine guns. He thought that he was spreading a new gospel of faith when actually It was an old faith exploded This was the one flaw In the great structure he long-standi- Mouse-Argonn- built It may even be said that he omitted but one factor from his calculations German machine guns and was right In all his calculations but one their effect. It was the abrupt discovery by his troops of this omission which shook their Initial trust In him, and led to some of the sweepcriticisms. This change of ing unjust post-wattitude was typified In a story which was widely told. In a column of American troops on the march a voice was heard saying, "Pershing says he'll take Mctt If It costs a hundred thousand lives." Silence for a moment. Then another voice: Ain't he a d d generous guy!" Yet even this remnrk has an undercurrent of chastened yet grudging admiration which Is a tribute to the driving force of Pershing and to the fortitude of his men. He lacked the personal magmake men lay down their lives netism which gladly He was far from a Robert E Lee But he had the character which compelled men not only to die, but to work cursing him, perhaps, but respecting him. He was hard, hut life had tried him hardly, and if he gai a Tectlon to few It wn generous when riven to thone who had shuwn themselves MliN by 111 J h'gh standard. When he visited the battlefields after the war he stood silent awhile before the monument on the mound at Montdldler dedicated to the First Amerlcen division At length, n a voice husky with emotion, he said. "That was the best d d division In AN army." It was a tribute from the heart. As for his achievement, it Is sufficient to say that there was perhaps no other man who would or could have built the structure of the American army on the seal he planned. And without that army the war could hardly have been saved and could not have been won. ar c.-- n As for the allied generalissimo, dinand Foch, CnptalL Napoleon and says: II art Marshall Fercompares him to . If It Is still too early to estimate stature, in world history, it is Luden-dorff- 's possible to perceive the outline through the thinningonmists a great scale, perhaps the of a figure molded greatest of all among the leaders of the war of and with the attributes, save of personal magnetism, which may even Inspire a second Napoleonic legend. Should this legendary magnification come to pass, the verdict of today may be a true mean between the nadir of 1919 (when Ludendorff was "the scapegoat of defeat, as execrated by the mass of his countrymen and as belittled by the mass of his victorious foes as Napoleon on the morrow of Waterloo") and the zenith 1914-191- The phrace American" has become both a dlscrlption and a motto since the war. If General Pershing was not the prototype, he deserves to be for it fits aptly both as a description of him and as a motto for him In the study of Pershing's ancompromlslng advance toward his own goal (I. . that American troops should be under American command and not divided up among the allies) lies the main historical Interest ef his first year In France. Grant la held up aa history's great example of a man who, having fixed his goal In his mind, pursued It unswervingly and with almost nnlque pertinacity despite all obstacles and without hesitating over the cost Pershing, who had other points of resemblance to Grant, maintained his purpose with determination at least equal to that of Grant, and under difficulties greater In all respects save only that Grant had to drive a tired, Pershing a fresh, steed. Where Grant had a Lincoln behind him, d Pershing had far less resolute and support And Grant had no allies to complicate his problem. A cynic might even say that the war for Pershing consisted of fifteen months' fighting at the rear and two months' fighting at the . 8, of tomorrow. . . . lie was essentially the product of his country and of his age, which had been molded by the Industrial revolution and Nineteenth century had been philosophy For half a century Germany a gigantic war machine and converting herself Into In Ludendorff she at least found the one mechanized brain capable of controlling this scientific master, which In size alone was too vast to be human. Most of the leaders were swept up by the . . . machine and carried helplessly away, but Ludendorff mastered It for long enough to Impress a Napoleonic stamp on the otherwise Incoherent termed process of mechanical slaughter politely "attrition." On Ludendorff the verdict of history may well be that he was the Robot Napoleon. Of the other "portraits ' which are presented to aid in appraisal of thess "captains" of the World "etulu who "has been war fiere is that reproached for excessive caution. It would be more true to say that he vas excessively careful of lives. While the mottr of a hnllwft tightini leader like Mangin was 'victory at any price. Petain's motto was 'viclurj at the smallest price.' . . . It Is almost certain that the French army would never have recovered if I'etaln luid not been called to command In 15)17. He made victory possible. . . . Ttu the verdict ot history on Petaln is likely to read : 'The man who, like Fablus, saved his country by avoiding hutile, nnd who, like Carnot, was the organizer of victory.' " Then there Is the British general who, "As a gentleman and as a pattern of noble character, Hnlg will stand out In the rolls of history, chevalier sans peur et sans reproehe, more shitless by far than most of Britain's national heroes.

An excess of such acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter It from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells ; your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, nnd has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness.
