We 3 MEET AGAIN
But German General Isn't In
ON the Conversation.
TeutOn, Pershing and French
Officer Pals in Manchuria.
BY HENRY WOOD.

With the French Armies, Oct. IL.
When the victorious French poilus
swept up the slopes of Mort Homme,
dead Mans HID recently the for
tunes of war brought together on the
same field of battle three generals,
who as a lieutenant had served togeth-
er as military attaches with the Rus
sian army in the Manchurian cam
paign.
One of these was General Corvis-
art, commanding the troops who
wrested the final possession of Mort
Homme from the Germans. A sec
ond one was General Pershing, COM
handing the American expeditionary
corps in France. The third one will be
named later. During the Russian
japanese war, half dozen of the mil
itary attaches of the great powers
messed together and constituted prac-
tically a little family. All of them
were lieutenantS then.
When Corvisart and Pershing, both
of whom have become generals since
then met by accident just before the
second battle of Verdun, and renewed
their old Manchurian acquaintance
and friendship. General Corvisart in
vited General Pershing to witness the
impending battle on the left bank of
the Mouse from his own observatory.
AS the battle progressed the generals
exchanged "reminiscences and asked
after other members of the old time
mess.
British Officer Dead.
General Pershing asked what had
become of Lieutenant -, the Brit
ish member of their attache mess,
and was apprised that he had died
with the rank of colonel early in the
present war.
Then a CLEAN of new interest sud
denly came into General Pershings
face. But Won Etzel," he asked,
Lieutenant Etzel, the German at
tache and member of our mess? What
do you suppose has ever become of
him %
"Oh. Won Etzel." replied General
Corvisart, with an even greater CLEAN
of pleasure in his face. "Oh, he too
is a general now" Then turning sud
denly towards the battlefield, he ad-
ded: And if you will look quickly
Mon General, you will be just in time
to see my victorious poilus chasing
the tail end of General Won EtzePs
army over the crest of Mort Homme.
General Won Etzel, our former COM
panion of the Manchurian mess, is

Dub Giant Gun Mosquito"
The American gunners have been
much interested in the big 240's which
are hauled by caterpillar tractors but
the real pets with the gunners from
overseas are those aristocrats among
the heavies which command special
railroad cars. Some of these rulers of
the cannon world are so important and
so valua BILE that an entire artillery
train is devoted to them. These trains
are strange looking affairs in their
fantastic war paint resembling at a
distance a mammoth rattIesnake'
Even the engines are included in the
camouflage and may resemble any
thing from a brick house to giant
hedge hog.
The French sense of humor cannot
be suppressed by three years and
more of war. French officers have
named one of the largest guns turned
over to the Americans ''Moustique,
which means mosquito.
TT is a compliment to any of our
artillerymen who may have come
from New Jersey" said the French
commandant, who said he had spent
ten years on the eastern coast of the
United States. The French guns, altho
large and apparently unwieldy are
balanced easily, one man being able
to elevate and defect a weapon
weighing fifty tons OF more.

Relief from, Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at $1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples, black
heads, blotches, eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. 1t is easily applied and costs a
mere trifle for each application. 1t is
always dependable.
