TIDE HAS TURNED AGAINST
KAISER, MCCORMICK SAYS

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE tide has turn !,
ed; there will be more atrocities
there will be terrible battles-but
despite events in Russia, the Austro-.
Germans everywhere are being driven
back and from the Carso to the cham
mel they are no longer able to att
tack" -
This was the estimate of the war.-
as Representative Medill Mccormick,
OF Illinois, presented it to guests at
luncheon at the Palais Dorsay. Nc
Cormick was the guest of honor, the
luncheon marking his formal fare
we'll after six weeks journeying in
Europe to every front except that of
Russia
Mccormick emphasized the impress
sion he had obtained throughout his
travels in France, England and Italy,
OF the democratic solidarity of tho
allies. He assured France Of the de-
termination of the entire American
nation to fight with all its power to a
victory.
I'm speaking of the entire Ameri-
can nation," he added, 'T include the
splendid loyalty of a majority of the
Americans of German blood who are
no less patriotic than those of other
extraction. From the lips of Ameri-
can officers with names as Germa1&
as that of Hindenburg I have heardy
described with loathing and bitter
anger, the deliberate killing of heroic
nurses by German aircraft.
"These are bad tidings for the kai-
ser.
"The morale of the German officer
prisoners is now lower than it was
two months ago. More boys of six
teen are now found among the pri-
soners.
Events in the reichstag and in the
German fleet, despite closed eyes OF
the German autocratic LADDERS, appear
in burning letters as the handwriting
on the wall to such governors of the
empire"
Mccormick explained that great
haste in Americas part in the war
was impossible, considering the vast
ness of the American war program.

FLY SWATTING SEASON is HERE

This is the season for a profitable
fly campaign. Flies can not live out
of doors now. The cool nights numb
and chill them and myrads of them
die off. If the females lay, the eggs
either do not hatch or else they are
slow in doing so. Few flies are bred
in the cooler season, and of the adults
few survive outside of those that get
into the houses.
Fly swatting in hot weather is dis
couraging work because all out of
doors is swarming with flies. Small
house campaigns do not get anywhere
because this outside host is an mex
haustible reservoir. When one runs
home fly swattinG campaign in Oc-
tober he knows that he does not have
this outside host to contend with
Every fly living in the open tries to
get into the house, tries to get where
the wideawake housewife can swat
conveniently and effectively.
A further reason for fly killing at
this season is the fact that the fe-
males that are to prevent extermina-
ton of the race are laying up in tho
The Chesterfield advertiser. [volume] (Chesterfield C.H., S.C.) 1884-1978, 1917-10-25

warm places for the winter. A lit.
tie while ago when the weather was
warmer they were out of doors. A
little while later thar now now. when
the weather is colder, they will be in
dark, inaccessible corners. Now is
the accepted time.
Fly swatting gets one somewhere
now that the flies are fewer. Flv
traps are only fairly successful. Tbev
work best where flies are numerous
I'll seems that flies do not care to pa
tronize traps except under the en-
thusiasm example and contagion Of
the mob spirit. Sticky fly paper
works fairly we'll.
At the beginning of the anti-fly
movement there was not much proof
that flies spread disease. They were
regarded as a nuisance, health officers
condemned them and the people tool
their word for it. Now there is ex-
cellent proof that flies spread typhoid.
The proof stands the closest scientif
ic scrutiny.
n addition it seems seasonably GER
tain that flies spread summer diar-
rhoeas in babies. And now the army
sanitarians are accusing flies of
spreading ameba which causes camp
dysentery and perhaps even other
diseases. AS these the verdict pro-
badly rests guilty but not proven. ."
