The Clinton News Record, 1916-10-26, Page 7ROUNDING UP THE FEW GERMANS
LEII IN EAST AFRICAN COLONY
Remnant That Escaped Capture Are Penned in Malarial Swamp
ad Must Soon Stirrender.
e A despatch from London saye: In
a review of recent 'operations in Ger-
man'Eael, Africa the Wee Office an-
nounces that the Belgians oneeating
!near Tabora, in the northern central
part of the colony, have inflicted a
e" further defeat on the Germans, In
the fighting from Sept. 18 to 22 the
surviving portion of the German
forces which had been defeated at Ta-
bora were routed.
Along the coast the British forces
under General Smuts are engaged in
clearing the country, A number of
small columns are carrying on this
work south-east of Dar-Ee-Salaam
and north-west and west of Kilwa.
Gen. Smuts says his troops have been
attempting, to drive into the Rufiji
valyley German posts established
north and south of that region.
The remnant of the force defeated
by the Belgians was deiven eastward
and southward, the Germans making
an attempt to effect a .junction with
the main German body concentrated
in the Itutiji
The -bulk of the remaining German
forces, says the announcement, are
now confined in a limited area in the
south-eastern portion of the colony, of
which all the ports on the coast and
the main lines of approach are held by
the Entente forces. The entire Rufiji
tralley and Ihe Delta are unhealthy
and malarial to the highest degree,
and are declared likely to become un-
tenable after the advent of the "less-
er rains" during October.

of the Vienna Zeit on die eastern front
as referring to improvement in the

the Russian shortage of ammunition

Nearly all our minor ailments, and many

some disorder of the stomach, liver, and
bowels. If you wish to avoid the mis-
eries of indigestion, acidity, heartburn,

The whirlpool bath is entirely a
war invention, from which excellent
results in cases of stiff joints have
been obtained in France, As I saw it
at some of the military hospitals vis-
ited, it consists of a small oblong
bath, filled with water which is kept
in continuous movement by a minia-
ture propeller revealed at a very
high speed by means of an electric
motor. A stiff arm or leg, hand or
foot, placed in the bath and kept
there for some time is much improv-
ed by the stimulus of the running
water.
Marvelous examples of bone car-
pentry are to be seen, such as the
transference of a large piece of bone
from the leg to fill a gap in the arm
bone or jaw.
Trench -foot is being more or less
saccessfully treated by massage, oper-

months.
Cures by Exercise.

Hammersmith Hospital, and there, as
well as at other hospitals, is to be
seen a collection of ingenious exer-
cises for restoring mobility. When

the patient goes to the masseurs and
the exercises. If his wrist is stiff he
twists a bar with graduated resist-

hand he grasps a thick bar and turns
it, passing on to thinner and tinner
bars as the hand improves; the pa-

VON KLUK RETIRED
AT HIS OWN REQUEST.
Leader of German Right Wing in
Paris Drive Seventy Years
of Age.
A despatch from Berlin says: Field
Marshal Alexander von Kluk, who
commanded the right wing of
German army in its sweep toward
Paris in the fall of 1914, has been
placed nu the reties:se:let at his own
request. He had never returned to
the front since he was wounded by
shrapnel fire in March, 1915, while in-
specting advanced positions. The
Field Marshal was seventy years of
age last May.
THE PRINCIPAL LESSON
. OF THE PRESENT WAR.'
A despatch from Paris says: Asked
what was the principal lesson learned
in this war, General Marchand re-
plied: "Formerly an army which oc-
cupied the heights was supposed to
have the advantage. We have learn-
ed from the experience of trench war
that the force down below has the
tipper hand, since it can shell the en-
erny out of his trenches above, while
the opposing artillery can with diffi-
culty, bombard trenches below it."

A despateh from London says:
Crewe of certain Norwegian vessels

ed dreadful sufferings before reaching

Four men were frozen to death, the
report adds, and a Norwegian mate'
died on his arrival at Alexandrovsk,'
near Archangel.
