Won Hindenburg's Promotion
Strengthens Hands Of Beth

BERLIN. September IL. via London,
September 13.-The weeks which have
passed since the appointment of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg as chief of
the general staff have been marked by
almost complete cessation of the dis
cussion in regard to the resumption of
submarine warfare on the old, or
more vigorous basis.
Non-partisan newspaper observers
who are in touch with leading states
men and politicians express the opinion
that for the present at least there will
arise no question Of a change in sub
Chancellor Won Bethman-Hollweg now
feels itself fully in control of the istua-
tion in this respect.
Controversy Over Food.
A controversy over the methods of
food dictatorship has now supplanted
the submarine issue in the conservative
and other newspapers which are op-
posed to the chancellor.
These newspapers are engaged in
arguing with Adolph Won Batocki, head
of the food regulation board, the pros
and cons of compulsory production as
opposed to an increase or abolition OF
maximum prices as the method of en-
larging the production of foodstuffs.
Herr Won Batocki has declared him
self convinced opponent of the theory
that the food problem could best be
solved by compulsory methods; that is,
by prescribing what farmers should
plant. But he also has little sympathy
with the demand of the agrarians for
increase or removal of maximum prices
to encourage production. Accordingly,
the present system will continue.

even surpassed previous experience. On

BAPTIST MINISTER
TALKS ABOUT HIS
W|FE'S TROUBLES
Suffered for 5 Years-Gains
Is Pounds on Tanlac and
Never Complains Now

Rev. James H. New of Charleston, Ga,
who has followed his calling as Baptist
minister for the past IS years and is well
known m over his state, made the fol-
lowing interesting statement regarding
the benefits his wife has obtained from
the use of Tanlac:
Since taking Tanlac my wife is all of
10 pounds heavier and she now looks like
a different woman. Five or six years
ago she began suffering with indigestion
and although she used many different
medicines trying to get relief, she grad
ually grew worse. She got so she couldn't
eat anything scarcely, and what she did
eat caused her almost constant suffer
ing. Gas would form on her stomach
right after meals and she would suffer
with cramping pains which were very Sc
we're. She had terrible headaches and
would get very nervous She got down
with her back about year ago and
wasn't able to do any kind of work at
all She was badly run down and very
thin and weak and about month before
she started on Tanlac she got so she
couldn't sleep.
"A friend advised her to take Tanlae
and honestly, l wouldn't see her back
in the same condition she was in before
taking that medicine for any amount oil
money that could be offered. She got bet
ter before she finished her first bottle
and nothing she has eaten in several
weeks has troubled her in the least. She
has taken three bottles and says it's been
many a day since she felt as we'll as she
does now. The headaches and nervous
ness have disappeared, she sleeps fine
enjoys her meals and works and never
complains of any trouble at all. Tanlac
has certainly proven its worth in my
wife's case, and we think it's without an
equal"
Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu-
sively by Patton-Pope Drug company and
Eugene Jacobs drug store.-Adv.

customary announcement that, had you
been northern man, or a native New

let him worry it out for himself when 1t
comes to convincing her?
On second sober meditation, I would
like to withdraw my protest. 1t looks
like rather a good hand to hold, after
all. Yes, l believe I'll play these.

Chinese Nurse Accused
of Attempted Blackmail

Cincinnati, September 2S.-Miss Marga-
ret Corey, a Chinese nurse, was arrested
here today in the offices of DR.. c. A.
L. Reed a prominent physician and sur
geon, on an Indictment charging black
mail.
In a statement directly following the
arrest, DR.. Reed said that Miss Corey,
following repeated attempts on her part
to induce him to employ her, had threat
ened to bring suit against him based on
a charge of immoral conduct. DR.. Reed
stated that Miss Corey had confessed,
while the police were listening by means
of telephone device, that she knew the
charge to be false, but that she like
wise knew he could not prove that it was
false and that she would settle the matter
for $4,000
Miss Corey became historical while be-
ing taken to police headquarters, but
when quieted said she had nothing to say
until she had consulted an attorney.

EASTERN FRONT

Berlin, September 28.-(Via London.)
German troops after heavy fighting
yesterday in the eastern theatre says
the German official statement issued to-
day, recaptured sections of the positions
which they had lost near Korytniza and
even pushed on past the positions pre-
viously held by them.
The statement says:
Eastern theatre: Army group of
Prince Leopold of Bavaria: Weak Rus
sian advances on the River IA, west of
Riga and between Miadziol and Narocz
lakes, were easily repulsed.
Sections of our positions near Koryt-
MIA, which were reported as having been
lost in the communication of September
%. were recaptured after heavy fighting
yesterday by completely successful
counter attack launched by troops of
Gen. Won Der Marwitz. and advantages
were obtained even beyond these posi-
tons.
"All attempts of the enemy to drive
us back failed. According to reports
from our troops, the Fourth Siberian
army corpse suffered losses which amount
nearly to destruction of the corps Forty
one officers and $500 men fell into our
hands as prisoners. We also captured
one cannon and II machine guns.

BRITISH OFFICIAL REPORT

London, September 29.-The latest re-
port issued from the war office reads:
1--WE attacked Schwaben redoubt, most
of which is in our hands. In the last
"a hours in this area nearly 600 prisoners
were taken.
1.-The redoubt occupies a crest 500 yards
north of Thiepval and represents the
highest ground on the Thepval spur,
with a full view over the northern valley
of the Ancre.
Elsewhere on our front we CONSOLE
dated our ground.
British aeroplanes, as usual in the
last two days, co-operated with the in
fantry. Much damage was done to en-
envy batteries and there were many in
stances of aeroplanes attacking troops
and transports on the ground with ma
chine gun fire.
"a captured report of the fighting IN
the Somme, issued by the commander of
a German corps, which participated in
the battle, contains a tribute to the quail
ity of our troops as follows: The British
infantry is smart in attack, largely be-
cause of immense confidence, and great
artillery superiority. One admits the skill
with which they consolidate themselves
in newly gained position. They show
great tenacity, in defense. Small parties,
when once established with machine guns
in the corner of a wood or a group of
houses are very difficult to dislodge.'
1.-THE following sentence shows the eff
fects of our artillery:
g Hitherto our instructions, from ex-
perience gained in defense and attack
were based on a carefully constructed
trench system. The troops on the Somme
front found actually no trenches at ALL :"
