The campaign of 1917 will, It is already j certainty the plans of the Ahglo-Freneh
evident, be fought as a w.de extension and loaders, recent advices point to a transfer

even a heavier coneentration of artillery

Confidence that their opponents will be

Try Musterole. See How Quickly
It Relieves
You just rub Musterole tn !>riskly,
and usually the pain is gone—a delicious,
toothing comfort comes to take its place.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustard. Use it instead
of mustard plaster. Will not blister.
Many doctors and nurses use Muster-
ole and recommend it to their patients.
They will gladly tell you what relief it
gives from sore throat, bronchitis, croup,
.'tiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, congestion,
pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains anil
aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore
muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet,
colds of the chest (it often prevents
pneumonia). Always dependable.
ACHES and PAINS
Dqn't neglect a pain anywhere, but find
out what causes it and conquer the cause.
A pain in the kidney region may put you
on your back tomorrow. Don't blame the
weather for swollen feet, it may be an
ydvamed warning of Kright's disease. A
pain in the stomach may be the first
symptom of appendicitis. A creak in a
Joint may be the forerunner of rheuma-
tism. rhronle headaches more than like-
ly warn you of serious stomach trouble.

other region -most likely that of Verdun,
where the French energies recently have
been concentrated on extending to its ori j

the most obvious point as that nearest to |
the heart of Germany -for the effort to roll j
back the tide of invasion or in case of
minor successes a point whence operations
into the rich iron fields would be possible. {
The military exports here point out that j
the employment of British troops in large i
numbers at this point of the battle line
would be hampered by great transport!!
tion difficulties and assert that the F rench
reserves are Inadequate for any great un-
supported effort. They express the full
est confidence that with the balance of
artillery strength fully restored as they
expect It to be by spring, Germany will
be able to prevent any serious advance
at this salient.
The new year as far as internal condf-
tions are concerned will be a year of pri-
vations.
The Increased harvest of grains is off
sot by a disappointing potato crop so that
despite the food supplies captured in Itou-
niania no prospect of an increase in the
total ration can be held out for the pres-
ent, though perhaps later It may be found
possible to provide an extra allowance of
meat Dietary experts declare, however,
that the present ration is entirely adequate
to support life and maintain working vigor
except in the case of those occupied In
heavy work, for whom special provision Is
now being made under the appeal of Field
Marshal von Hindenbnrg, chl -f of the gen-
eral staff, to the rural population for con
tributious. It is maintained that while
life within the blockade may possible be
come increasingly unpleasant the military
efficiency of Germ.;"; will not be dimin-
ished.
In foreign affairs the new year, of course,
dawns under a sign of peace overtures.
The entente's official reply thereto has
not yet been received, but little expeeta
tloir Is entertained here that it will be
favorable or that eveu assisted by the
t'nlted States and other neutrals the"peace
movement will for the present have tangl-
ble results. There is considerable discus-
sion regarding Germany's probable plans In

ANOTHER MILLION MUST BE HAD
BY MARCH 1 TO INSURE SUC-
CESS OF CAMPAIGN.
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.—Success In obtain
lug pledges for $4,000,000 toward the $5,-
000,000 church pension fund being raised
for Protestant Episcopal clergymen and
their dependent families was announced
here today by Bishop William Lawrence of
Massachusetts, chairman of the fund com-
mittee.
"This great sum of money Is the largest
the church has ever raised In so snort
a time," Bishop Lawrence said. "The cam-
paign which began March 1, 1910, will end
March 1 of this year. On that day the en-
tire $5,000,000 must be In hand; othywlse
we are not entitled to keep the $4,000,000
now pledged.
The plan as described-In an announce-
ment by the committee Is "based on thor
ough Investigation and recognized actuarial
principles." It is calculated to provide a
minimum old age pension of $000 to clergv-
men who voluntarily retire at the age of
K8, while the maximum Is to bo half the
average salary.
A disability pension is also to be pro-
vided, available at any age, reckoner! on
the baais of 40 per cent of the average sal-
ary for five years of service preceding In-
voluntary retirement with a minimum of
$600.
I'nder the plan widows will receive half
of the pension the husband would have
been entitled to If he had lived, reckoned
from the time of marriage, which must
have been contracted before retirement, the
minimum being $.'100.
Orphan benefits are to be on a flat basis
of $100 annually up to the age of 7 years,
$200 to those between 7 and 14 and $800 to
those above 14 until they reach majority,
all such benefits ending, however, when the
recipient ceases to be dependent.
The $5,000,000 being collected now la to
enable the fund to commence immediate
payments to clergymen who will retire
during the early years of its operation.
The perpetuation of the system la to be
maintained through annual payments by
each parish of 1% per cent of the rector'a
salary.
Pensions for ministers, the statement
says, is social Justice ami It Is "a strange
anomaly that the church has lagged be-
hind business corporations and govern-
ments In this matter."
It is stated that unless the reserve fnnd
of $5,000,000 has been definitely pledged
by March 1 no pension plan whatever will
be Inaugurated.
