and aches that make life unbearable
are relieved by Sloan's Liniment, a
clean, clear liquid that is easy to ap-
ply and more effective than mUssy

the many pains, and aches following
exposure, strains, sprains and muscle
soreness, Sloan's Liniment is prompt

Sudden changes of temperature and

been playing with fire and that fire

This did not filter into her con-

steeled herself to seeing him pass
away with the rest of the summer
folk, to take himself out of her life.
She admitted that there would be a
gap. But that had to be. No word
other than friendly ones would ever
pass between them. He would go
away, and she would go on as before.
That was all. She was scarcely
aware how far they had travelled
along that road whereon travellers

intuitions. eloquent silences. Mono

awakened her to despairing clear

from Provost Marshal General Crow
der, to the effect that Milton II.
Smith, of Louisville, has been ap-
pointed to represent the railroad as
sociation in working out plans for
the movement of Kentucky's draft
army to the cantonment at Louis
Vile. 1t is probable that Mr.. Smith
will come here the first of next week
to confer with Governor Stanley con-
cerning this matter.
The first movement of the troops
will take place on September 5, when
one-fifth of the army will be taken
to Louisville. 1t will take the rail-
road companies five days to move the
men, conveying one-fifth of the army
each day to the camp. There are
1926 men in eKntucky's draft ar
my.
The men will be given tickets and
tagged, each man to wear his tag in
his buttonhole. When the troops
reach camp, they are to line up be-
side the car in which they were con-
veyed until federal authorities tell
them where and how to proceed.

EXPERT SAYS BEAT GERMANY
THIS FALL OR FIGHT UN-
TIL 1919.

Washington, Aug. 25.-"Ger-
many's shell will be cracked this fall
by continued allied hammering along
the whole Western front, or the war
will go another year and half
until the summer of 1919"
This is the prediction of high
navy official in close touch with plans
for one tremendous effort to crush
Germany this fall.
America, unable to help with many
men as yet, will back up the Eng
lish, French and Italian armies with
vast stocks of munitions for the next
three months.
His reason why victory must come
this fall or not till 1919 is:
England, France and Italy are at
the peak of their strength. After
this summers campaign, their arm
les will diminish rather than in
crease.
If, with all our support in sup
plies, the Allies can not beat down
German resistance this fall, it is plain
they of themselves, will never be able
to beat it down.
That means there is little likeli-
hood of success until the United
States can place her full strength
on the battle front-not before the
spring of 1919!
Germany to date,this official states,
has lost 3,OOO,OOe men in killed and
permanently disabled. The loss Of
another 100000 men, the Allies
believe, will mark the limit of sacri-
flee the German people will concede
to their warlords.
The problem, then, is either to
break this fall thru the German lines
and force an entire readjustment Of
fighting conditions, or slowly to whit
tie down another 100000 of the
Kaiser's men.
