y DEAD AS RESULT
OF GAS in
WATERW0RKS TUNNEL

Cleveland, July 26.-Federal Off
cials investigating the waterworks
tunnel disaster which cost % lives,
late yesterday afternoon ordered all
attempts to reach the bodies of IL
men imprisoned in the tunnel, aban-
doned until late today.
This action, was taken because
tests of the gas in the tunnel through
which the rescuers had to pass
showed that it is highly explosive and
the officials feared second explo-
sion. An attempt will be made to
pump out the gas so that the work
of rescuing the bodies may progress
All hope that any of the IL men
trapped in the tunnel are alive has
been abandoned. Ten bodies, those
of members of rescue bodies which
tried to reach the doomed men, but
themselves succombed to the deadly
gas, are in the morgue. The eight
men injured, also members of the
rescue party, will recover. - -z~
Four Investigations, city, county,
state and federal, were started today
to determine the cause of the gas ex-
plosion near the fve-mile crib end
of the tunnel Monday night which
entombed the II men and released the
gas which overcame the two rescue
parties.

CAPTURE ENGANGERS GERMANS
FROM THIEPVAL TO POCIERES
(By United Press)

London, July 26.-After three days
of desperate hand to hand fighting
the British Australian-NeW Zealand
troops have taken all of the village
of Pozieres.
General Haig is today quoted as
stating that the whole of Pozieres
is now in the British hands. The
British statement also says "west-
ward our territorials have further ad-
vanced, capturing two strong
trenches, number of officers and
other prisoners. Elsewhere there is
no CHANGE ....
Desperate Fighting.
The war has seen no more desper-
ate fighting than at Pozieres. The
town is an important point on the
main highway toward Baupame,
which was the objective of the first
great thrust. Late last week the
colonials gained foothold in the
village itself. A series of furious
German counter attacks failed to dis
lodge them. The capture of the
whole town endangers the German
forces in Salient from Thiepval to
Pozieres. Further advance reported
by General Haig indicates that an en-
circling movement is menacing the
enemy line.
Erzingan Evacuated.
London, July 26.-A Rome wire
less press report says that the Turks
have evacuated Erzingan in face of
the drive by Grand Duke Nicholas
Berlin, July 6.-Ambassador Ger
ard has delivered to the foreign. office
President Wilson's Polish relief ap-
peal. The message was Immediately
telegraphed to the emperor who is on
the eastern front.
Admit Defeat.
Berlin, July 26.-The German OIL
cial statement today admits that ''af-
ter stubborn fight the British have
established themselves in Pozieres.''
I. Advance 0ne-third Of Way.
"Petrograd, July 26.-It was Off
cially announced today that Erzingan
has been captured by Grand Duke
Nicholas armies. This clears Arme-
MIA of Turks and means that the Rus
SLAMS have advanced one-third of the
way to Angora, the head of the rail-
way to Constantinople and the i'm
mediate objective of the Russian
army now Erzingan victory is a
great feat.

DR., WAITE ATTEMPTS
TO COMMIT SUICIDE

Sing Sing Prison, N. Y, July 90
DR.. Arthur Warren Waite, awaiting
execution for the murder of his faith
er-in-law, John E. Peck, of Grand
Rapids, Mich, was found in his cell
in the "death house" last night
bleeding from a wound in his chest,
made in the shape Of a cross. The
prisoner had cut himself with piece
Of broken glass.
How Waite obtained possession OF
the glass could not be explained. 1t
is presumed that when he was taken
out for exercise in the court yard he
picked it up when the vigilance of his
guard was relaxed, and concealed il
until he returned to his cell.
Waite was removed to the prison
hospital, but he steadfastly refused tc
answer questions. The injury is not
serious. -. ...~

Fricourt an important town three miles east of Albbert has fallen to the British, while the French have taken Curlu, which lies to the southeast.

COOPER TO PROVE
 FAMOUS lHtORILS
Celebrated Medicine Accomplishing Remarkable Results in Leading
 Cities.

Referring to the resent visit to At lanta of l.. T. Cooper. the man who electrified the larger cit es of the country with his philanthropy health theories and celebrated medicine Tanlac, G. F. Wills, his soutie1n re- prcsentatiye, said:
 'Thousands of the most prominent people in Atlanta BirmiL g am Nash vile. Chattanooga Louisville, KnoX will and other cities, where his cele- lrated medicine has been accomp- fishing such remarkable results, are ever more enthu ias.ic over Ia lac than Mir Cooper himself.
 AS previously stated. Mir. Cooper contends that min J-tenths of the Gis- case and ill-health Of the average per Soil is due to catarrhal condition which produces faulty digestion and improper assimilation of the tood.
 Tn recent interview Mir. Cooper was asked if Tanlac would reli ve kidney trouble, liver complaint, rheu., matism and dozen other aiiment;, and in this connection, said:
 As l have repeatedly said, my med icine acts directly on the mucus membrane, stomach and blood, dx- polling from time the impurities and toxic poisons. and rendering to them
  convinced of the blood, and is the fountain head of health or disease, as the ca e may b. My medicine is in tended primarily for the regulation of the stomach and catarrhal inflamat- ion, but it is no uncommon thing for persons who have used it to come to me and explain that it has relieved them of rheumatism and many other allm nts not generally recognized as having their origin in stomach trou- ble."
 The ingredients or medicinal ele- ments which make Tanlac come from remote sections of the earth-the Alps. the Pyren es, Russian Asia, West Indies, Mountain states. near tte Rocky Mountains, Mexico and Peru are among the points from which the preparation are obtained. In the prin- cIfai labratory of the Cooper MeGicinc, Co.,, Inc, under the efficient direction of Herr Jos Von Tribach, native German chemist of note, these medi- clnal herbs, roots and barks are as sembl d in the rough and painstak- lngly developed so as to attain that nigh standard of efficiency shown by the uniform preparation of Tanlac."
 In referring to the unprecedented demand for Tanlac in Atlanta, MT Chas. A. Smith, manager of the Jac- obs Pharmacy Co.,, said:
 Il have ten in the drug business in Atlanta 25 years, and not in my experlenci have we handled anything that even approaches Tanlac as a sell iar. In less than five weeks time W F, have sold and distributed through out eleven stores over 5000 bottles, and on last Saturday alone over 400 peo. Die called at our store to obtain the medicine. Judging from the repeat sales and the many expressions of satisfaction frcm those who have act ually tested Tanlac, the preparation must te something of extraordinary merit. Sold by the Boyer Drug Co. advertisement.
