A war corres pondent its the Zuericher Post, who i"ceini returned :roin the German front in France, declares Germany .sliil lias vast reserves of lighting men. "The German losses in the terri.'u battles which raged during the last three mouths on tuo Uriiish and Flinch fronts have been serious, but j not exti aorilinary ." the correspondent writes. "When the great Spring ! drive of the Allies began in April Hindenburg had about 700, ooo men in reserve behind his lines and a mobile army of l.ouo.oou men, which can be used wherever it may be needed. When I left the front t:ie reserves had hardly been touched and the mobile army, which consists entirely of picked fresh troops, still waited for its iirst battle. "A high German officer, told me that the General Staff expects to lose ;:oimmiii to 400,0011 men during the Summer," the correspondent contin ues. "So far the losses have been considerably below the estimate, but even if they should increase, the 7"o,(mhi men available will- be suffi cient until next Winter, and Himien- burg will not be compelled . to draw on his mobile army to till the gaps at the front. "During the Summer months about 4 ."hi, ooo men, who have been released from the factories, mines, etc., by the creation of the great industrial home army, will become ready for service at the front. This force -consists mostly of men who formerly w ere rejected or excused and belong ed to the class of untrained reserves. "The lighting value of these troop1' is probably below the German over ate, but they have been thoroughly trained for six months and will un doubtedly give a good account or themselves. "I. ate in the Fall Hindenburg wiii get an entirely fresh army of about iioo.ooo men, as the recruits of 1 '. 1 s w ho were called to the colors in Feb ruary will then be ready to go to the front: "The German army is much larger today than during the first year of the war," the correspondent con chides. "At the front and during my travels in Germany I have studied the military resources of the empire closely and I am convinced that lack of human, material w ill not force t lie Germans to ask for peace. "The great danger which confronts tli phi lip-j In tho intprnal situation If they cannot break the strangle holdfl of the Hritish blockade with the sub marines their situation will become desperate next January. The people know this and there is much unrest among the masses. "By granting the democratic re forms demanded by the Socialists and other progressive elements the Gov ernment will be able to quiet the growing dissatisfaction, but only Tor :i ti:;.e. The German nation wants peace as much as the Russian wor:;-iiii-' (lasses ami is willing to cive up all former war aims, if only the in tegrity of the empire and the return of the colonies are assured."

Mrs-Kate Lee Able, ol this place, writes: "My husband is an engineer, and once while lifting, he in jured himself with a piece of heavy ma chinery, across the abdomen He was so sore he coufd not bear to press cn -himself at a!l, on chest or abdomen.

He did this yet without result We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swol len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture. I sent and bought Thedford's Black Draught I made him take a big dose, and when it began to act he fainted, he was in such misery, but he got relief and began to mend at once.
