Savannah, Ca, July 3.-Liane Car
rera. daughter Of Anna Held, who is
touring the south in vaudeville is
doing her bit for her beloved France
by eniisting recruits in the towns in
which she plays for the new Amer
lean army. So successfully has she
been that recruiting officers in Geor-
gia and Alabama have written her
personal letters of appreciation.
The reward for each boy who en-
lists at the solicitation Of the pretty
little French actress is a hug and a
kiss and a great many southern
youths are taking the plunge for the
sake of the reward. Miss Carrera
made her first appearance as a re-
cruiting assistant in Atlanta. and
enlistmeTts jumped fifty per cent
during her engagement in that city.
In Birmingham she was kept so busy
that she hardly had time for her
stage work.
In appreciation of the. services of
Miss Carrero, Col. Allen Crenshaw,
commanding the Second Alabama
infantry, has addressed a letter to
Miss Carrera, in which he gives I'M
stinted praise to the charming little
actress, who made speeches on the
street corners and before local clubs
and rode for miles on horseback in
the effort to secure recruits-in ad-
dition to the kisses she bestowed on
the men who enlisted.
The little lady is intensely patri-
otto and Is devoted heart and soul to
the cause of the allies and the France
OF her forbears. She firmly believes
that the entrance OF America In the
war means ultimate victory for the
allies and the driving or the Teutons
out Of France. She thinks that q

pay for q new soldier for France.

LOOK OUT FOR LICE
AND MITES.

Lice and mites feed. on chickens
and take so much Of their energy
that they become poor and cannot
lay well. The lice live and multiply
on the fowls and chicks bodies. Kill
them by filling the plumage with q
good lice powder. The mites live ~
the roosts and nearby woodwork In
the day time and at night attack the
birds, causing great suffering. These
mites can be killed by putting kero-
sene or some good disinfectant on the
roosts and woodwork. Feed is too
expensive to feed chickens just for
the purpose of keeping them in shape
to feed a host of lice and mites. Kill
the lice and mites so that the fowls
can use the feed given them for
making growth and for laying eggs.

ATTACK IN RAIN GETS
GERMANS BY SURPRISE

LONDON, oct. 10. A dispatch
from Reuters correspondent at
British headquarters in France says
the Germans held their front much
more heavily than in recent battles,
which suggests TO the correspondent
a return to their earlier defensive
tactics. depending rather upon man
power than upon concrete.
The Germans were taken by sur
prise. says the correspondent.
Prisoners frankly confess the prob
ability of an attack in such weather
and over such ground was not
thought of. How little il was ex-
pected was shown by the fact that
two German divisions, which had TO
bear the brunt Of the onslaught.
only completed taking over the line
at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning and
were wholly unfamiliar with their
surroundings.
THE prisoners include men from
still another division from the Rus
sian front"
