masses Of supplies ready to be moved
forward to All any gap the Germans
may make.
As we were at General Neville's head
quarters, a party OF German prisoners
came by. They marched two and two,
their gray uniform and round cap con-
trasting with the French blue and
casque. Already they were being set
to work, and instead of gun each
German carried a spade over his
| shoulder. At Verdun there Is no civil
ian life whatever, but around General
Neville's headquarters there were peas

poilus, indicating civilian life still ex-
listed thus near to the bombarded
town.
Tho roads back OF Verdun present
the most varied scenes of activity. On
one side is a vast aeroplane camp, with
some twenty enormous hangers OF

canvas. Across the road is riding

GERS can exercise their mounts, and
cavalry can push forward in emergency
without blocking the highroad. Every
now and then one sees big vehicle.

The thousands of horses and mules
along the road are in good condition.
Many of the horses came from Amer
lea, and were run down by sea voyage,
but after months feeding they
proved :cr: seTvioespf1ie. On seeing
the mules, one of the officers said:
THE rehabilitation of the Greek
army had one very important result
for the allies-it released 10000 mules
which the Greeks had been using. and
now these mules are proving Invaluable
to the allies"
While the fields back Of verdun are
rich with yellow grain. yet there is one
melancholy evidence of the war In
the burning of manure. usually the
very life blood of the soil. The grain
can be gathered by the soldiers and the
women who remain. but there is no
time to distribute the manure over the
land anG so it is burned
The last glimpse of Verdun came as
the party passed detachment of
French soldiers, just out of the trenches
and going to the rear for rest. They
were tired and heavily laden. but happy
and cheerful as they swung along in
irregular ranks. laughing and smoking
as tho they came from some agree

looking young fellows, and they typified
that, calm and invincible spirit which

Coming back from the front line
trenches, one had a view of the many
ceaseless activities in carrying on this
great battle. At one point soldiers in
shirt sleeves were digging graves in
an ,mprovised cemetery along the for
es. path. The cemetery was very large
and had been given a name: "Maison
Forester" or Forest Home. Every
grave had wooden cross above it,
with the name and regiment Of the
dead soldier

and Ii got to be pleasant pastime TO
note the long c-z-z-z as the shell flew
overhead. One of them struck few
hundred feet away, throwing up trees,
earth and clouds of smoke.
To those who wanted souvenirs there
were big fragments of shrapnel lying at
every turn. 1t was pleasant at first TO
pick them up, but after three or four
of these heavy chunks of steel were
carried half a mile, the task was aban-

The ingenuity of some nf the trench

One officer pointed with pride to the
very artistic effect he had secured with
these empty wine bottles. a triple

log shack, giving light within and hav-

Mrs. Griggs Gains
Twenty Five
Pounds
WIDOW WOMAN WAS IN BAD
HEALTH FOUR YEARS AND
COULDN'T TAKE CARE
OF HER CHILDREN

Il have taken three bottles of Tan
lac and my condition is so much i'm
proved that l don't feel like the same
woman. I don't know how much
weight I have gained, as I haven't
weighed lately, but feel sure that
have gained twenty-five pounds"
This remarkable statement was made
by Mrs. Malissia Griggs, highly re-
spected widow lady, who lives at 81
Oriel street, Nashville, Tenn.
Mrs. Griggs, according to her own
statement has been a widow for five
years, and is in humble circumstan-
ces with two children to provide for.
She also states that after her second
baby came four and one-half years
ago, she has been an invalid, and
afer losing her husband has been
making her home with her sister,
and has been entirely dependent on
them as she was unable to work on
account of poor health. She now
states that after taking three bottles
of Tanlac she feels strong enough to
do most any kind of work and she eX-
poets to try and get a position and
help provide for her children. She
has lived in Nashville for nine years,
and is highly respected.
Continuing, she said: II suffered
extreme nervousness for five or six
years caused from indigestion and
stomach trouble. After eating it
seemed that my whole system would
rebel and become upset. My heart
would flutter and seem to almost
stop beating. 1 would have swimming
of the head and seemed to be turn
ing around and around. My food
would sour and ferment in my stom-
ach and l would have to manage to
throw up before l could get any re-
lief at all
81 was almost nervous wreck. l
couldn't sleep some nights even as
much as one hour. If dozed off,
would awake in fright, scared half
to death. Many nights would get up
and down, unable to sleep at all. At
times my flesh would become numb
and tingle like needles piercing it. No
one but my sister knows how suffer-
ed. My eyes would get affected at
times and dark spots would appear
before them and last sometimes for
hours.
81 saw Tanlac advertised so much
and praised by so many people here
in Nashville that l decided to get a
bottle and see if it would help me.
Before l had taken half of the first
bottle noticed my nerves getting
more quiet and l began to sleep bet
ter. Noises of different kinds which
use to upset me so did not seem to
bother me. Ny stomach began to i'm
prove and I got so could eat right
along.
Il have taken three bottles and as
told you before, don't feel like the
same woman, and believe have ac-
tually gained twenty-five pounds.
Tanlac is a grand medicine, and am
going to take another bottle, although
l sleep well and my indigestion is
nearly gone.
Tanlac is sold in Maryville
exclusively by George & Mitch

PHYSICALLY UNFIT.

Comment is widely made upon the
fact that between 20 and 40 percent.
of the young men making up the
States militia are unable to pass the
physical examination and have been
turned down as unfit for the army OF
this account. And alarm is expressed
that the future may find our State
unable to produce an army of physi-
cally able fighting men. We know no.
thing of the standard to which an APP
plicant must measure up. This stand
ard may be too rigiI-too infleXible.
Perchance the examining surgeon may
be little vague. We do not know, but
these are possibilities. To be able to
handle n gun, to endure long marches
and the privations of camp life,
should be scarcely less trying upon
the physical man than the usual avoca-
tions of life. or course, chronic di-
scase or physical deformitics bar out
the afflicted applicant, but many of
the young men who do not appear
outwardly strong will make good SOL
diers.
1t is fact, however, that in these
latter days 80 per cent. of the young
men are continually sucking pipe
stem or cigarette, and no young
ster can be physically perfect who
does so.
1t would be interesting to know Just
what standard is required by military
rules and regulations, to which SOL
der must measure before he can be
accepted. Will some one who has ac-
cess publish these requirements?

PEACE IN SIGHT (?)

The gigantic, bloody struggle now
beginning between the Allies and Ger
many, it is thought, is the beginning
Of the end of TIE great war. The seigc
and battle of Nerdun one of the most
wonderful i'll all history up to this
time has been practically lost by tn"
German forces. While the French held
Verdun the British army was able to
complete all arrangements for II grea.
drive against Germany by the allied
armies OF France, England, Italy and
Russia, and Germany is attacked on
three fronts. Germany is now ON the
defensive, as the South was during
the spring of 1865, and is being grad
ually, says the New York Times
squeezed to death" Those who are in
position TO predict with some cc,
tainty, believe that peace negotiations
will speedily follow the termination
OF this present struggle. The next few
days, or weeks at most, will. in MI
probability, witness great change
IN conditions, one way or tho other.
