IN TRENCHES
 RELIEVED BY OTHERS
The Change Was Effected Without
 Any Casualties.

With the American Army in France, Nov. 1-CBy the Associated Press). The first battalions of Americans in the trenches have been relieved by others Relief. which is considered one of the critical periods, when the enemy. by shelling the approaches to the positions nay infiict heavy dam age. was accst tnplished successfully Apparently the enemy was not aware of what was going on.
 With the men back in billets. it is now permitted to mention for the first time that the casualties were negligi- bIe. In fact, more men are suffering with trench feet" than with wounds.
 From a military standpoint the ex- perience gained by the Americans is considered of a very high value in the training of contingents which are yet tc arrive on French soil It was a tired. dirty, wet, mud-caked body of men that returned to billets- The men had only two clear days while in the trenches. They were covered with mud from their hats to their shoes. Before anything else. they required a bath. first with gasolene and then with water
 Today the sun was shining brightly and the returned soldiers spent most of the time stunning themselves and their belongings Some of the fields xn this section of France are covered with blankets, parts of uniforms and equipment Clouds of red dust arose in these places, when later the owners started to brush. Tonight the return ed battalions are clean and ready to gc back again.

WHAT IS RHEUMATISM

When rheumatism fastens on an in. diVidual he generally knows what tho trouble is. The inflammation. sOrenesI and pain, in combination with loss ot appetite swelling joints and back aches, tell plainly that this is rheuma- tism. Physicians opinions vary as to just what is rheuma tisu. Yet almost all agree that a poison gets into the system. and rheumatism results. Ih5 immediate causes are often cold and moisture, and sudden changes of tenn perature. The first twinge of pain or stiffness of tha muscles ought to be carefully placed under treatment.
