ANOTHER MESSAGE FROM
THE LAND OF BLOODSHED''

Few Americans abroad have not had
some exciting and perhaps painful ex-
periences since the great nations of Eu-
rope took up arms. Friends in this
country anxiously await word from
friends or relatives travelling In Europe
and when message does reach the anx-
ious Americans at home and they are as
sured that the travellers are safe, a great
feeling of relief and thankfulness comes
over them.
Such has been the case in the Max
well Motor oompanys offices in Detroit.
concerning Charles F. Redden, general
sales manager of the Maxwell company.
Mr.. Redden has been abroad for the pa st
four months and letters from him at ir-
regular intervals tell of some of the hor-
rors of the war which he has seen.
In France Mr.. Redden was marooneJ
for three weeks; in Germany he barely
missed being held as an English spy.
Writing from England under date of Au-
gust a. Mr.. Redden dispels the general
impression that there is no chance of
fighting on English soil. An extract from
this letter gives a startling example of
the uncertainty and fear which are a part
of the great war game.
~ esterday we passed village swarm
ing with soldiers. cavalry, cannons and
army supplies, with sentres posted at
every bridge, every crossing and every
public building, and when we drove out
of the town on the channel side the
crests OF all the hills were corrugated
with trenches. consisting of ditch dug
in the side of hill about six feet deem.
faced with sand bags, logs and so forth,
and a roof put over the ditch and COW
cred with sod, hay and stones, leaving a
narrow slot of about 10 inches for the
men to sight and shoot from. Below each
of these trenches were eight or 10 rows
of fence poles with an ENHANCEMENT of
barbed wire twisted and criss-crossed in
every imaginable form and shape There
must have been 10 miles of these trenches.
1t did. indeed, give one feeling of awe
and at the same time a certain thrill of
wonder and imagination to look across the
channel and realize that one of the great
est combats of strength. money. brains
and force that the world has ever known
was taking place at that moment less
than 60 miles away
AT night we could see the flashlights
of the British fleet searching the waters
for signs of the enemy, ana 1t was in
deed dramatic to see the different boats
flash electric signals one to the other,
until the lights faded out in the distance.
This is what Europe is experiencing to-
day, and while here in England we have
not yet seen any bloodshed, the nervous
tension under which the people in the
neighborhood OF Dover, F'olksstone and
the channel cities are living, Is I think.
greater than actual warfare as | think
1t will be a relief to them to see the
fleet open fire, or to have their men get
into action

SAYS SULPHUR IS
SURE TO RELIEVE
ITCHING ECZEMA
Get an ounce of bold-sulphur
cream and heal skin
eruptions right up

Any breaking out or irritation on the
face, arms legs or body when accom-
panied by itching. when the skin is
dry and feverish, can be readily over
come by applying little bold-sulphur
cream, says a noted dermatologist.
He informs that bold-sulphur in
stantly allays the angry itching and ir-
ritation and soothes and heals the
Eczema right up, leaving the skin clear
and smooth. Bold-sulphur has occupied
4 secure position for many years in the
treatment OF cutaneous disorders because
of its misunderstanding property. Moth
ing has ever been found TO take its place
in treating the irritable and inflamma :
tory skin affections. While not always
establishing permanent cure, it never
falls to subdue the itching irritation and
drive the Eczema away and it is often
years later before any eruption again APP
pears on the skin.
Those troubled should obtain at any
pharmacy an ounce OF bold-sulphur
cream. which is applied to the affected
parts in the same manner as an ordinary
cold cream. 1T isn't unpleasant, and the
promtp relief afforded, particularly in
itching Eczema, proves very welcome.

ostend, September 26.-(Special
found their way by great skill and
even greater daring right through the
German lines after the fierce fighting
st Mons and Charleroi have arrived
here. A young hussar among them re-
iates thrilling tale of adventure
lie was out scouting with his company
not far from Mons when suddenly as
they turned the corner of a. village
street they came upon a force of Ger
man infantry strongly entrenched
across the street with three maxims in
position, one on each side of the trench
and another in the middle. There was
no possibility of turning back without
suffering very heavy loss. so they rode
straight at the guns and hoped to cut
their way through.
The young soldier was riding in the
front rank and cannot imagine how
1T is that he has come through UNI

but he managed to get clear of the
poor beast as it fell He lay where he
had fallen pretending to be dead.
This experience, he said, was the

their sidearms. OF that cavalry patrol
of 40 men 20 were killed by the fire
of the maxims, and almost all the re-
nainder were wounded. My young in
formant tells me that they must have
charged into fully 900 men.
When the chance came he got away
down a side street and out into a
wood, where he met a trumpeter
wounded badly in the arm and leg,
who came stumbling toward him. His
companion was hard hit, but he ban
daged his wounds as best he could and
hid there till the next day at dawn.
The two of them then managed 20
take shelter in a farm house not far
away which had been abandoned by the
inmates at the first sound of the fir
ang. They stayed there all that day
and saw a great force of Germans
go by.
Toward evening the owners of the
farm returned and begged them to go
away. They managed, however, before
going to change their uniforms for the
dress OF the Belgian peasants and start

could.

A. A. A. TO PROTEST
AGAINST TAXES :

million and a half of automobile
owners are becoming quite generally
| agreed that road users should not be
divided into taxed and untaxed classes
Through its executive board. on which
every state is represented, the Ameri-
can Automobile association, at the Sep
TEMPER session, renewed consideration OF
the subject taking action that leaves
no doubt as to its position.
In the adopted report of a special COM
hittee named at the semi-annua meet
ing OF the entire association. Chairman
IL. A. Bonnell sets forth that in only
four states is it possible to make the
registration tax in lieu of the personal
tax. The association remains opposed
to the payment of the two taxes desig-
mated as "a constitutional INFRINGEMENT
of the principles of equal taxation and
the rights of the citizens of state who
| own automobiles"
Referring to the general tendency to in
crease both the registration tax and au-
tomobile values when taxed as personal
property. the committee confutes the as
sumption that any double tax is iusti-
lied because of so-called excessive de-
struction of the roads, which 1t asserts
Is not borne out by the actual facts;
and furthermore. it is held that auto
mobiles have an equal right with all
other vehicles TO the free use of the
public highways, built and maintained by
general taxation
The proposal by Congress to add an
additional excise tax for purposes of
revenue is claimed to be ''llnjustifjed
ana unfair, and would be species of
special taxation upon a means of trans
portation which has become of such
common use that it would be burden
some and detrimental to the interests
of the people at large"
Gazing attention to the presence of
other vehicles which share in the wear
Ing out of the public highways, the COM
mittee concludes with the following reso-
luton:
Resolved That while maintaining as
a matter OF principle and of right and
justice its position against the double
taxation of automobiles. the American
Automobile association recommends the
passage of an act by the legislatures of
the several states, placing a wheel fax
on al vehicles that use the public high
ways, such tax to be in proportion to
the present fees paid by the owners of
motor-driven vehicles. The association
afrees to use it's efforts through state
