5OO,OO0 AMERICANS
 WILL BE IN FRANCE
 IN LESS THAN YEAR
Pershing Expedition Will Be Be- ginning of Our Fight-"Big Push" For Volunteers Will be Begun Today.

Washington, May 20.-The United States will be represented on the fighting fronts of Europe, both land and sea, by an army of perhaps 50O.- 900 men and powerful force of naval vessels, within a year.
 The Pershing expedition to France and the fiotilla destroyers now hunt ing down submarines in the war zone. are but the beginning. This was in- dicated in official circles today. Am- pie proof is found in the preparations which the government is making.
 Beginning tomorrow the "big push" for volunteers for the military ser- vice will begin. The regular army needs more than 100000 men to bring 1t to war strength and the national guard requires 170,000 additional. Be- sides these volunteer force of 15O,- 900 to fill the places of regulars with drawn to train the volunteers and the 500,000 selective conscripts are wanted.
 With recruiting officers shooting at total of more than 400,000-and this is regarded in war department circles as the real test of volunteer methods-every ounce of machinery is to be brought to bear to fill these places before the draft goes into op- eration, probably late in August.
 The general staff plans call for an army of approximately 100000 with in year. Indeed, the total will be swelled to probably 100000 in that period as the second increment under the conscription bill probably will be ordered to the colors before more than nine months have elapsed.

NATURE ANSWERS HUMAN
 TITS AGE OLD QUESTION
Answer Found at Last in Remark able Mineral Deposit in
 Mississippi.

How long must I suffer with this torturing stomach trouble and how long must I endure this agony of skin and blood disease?
 Two questions which humanity has asked for generations. We have only just come to the answer. It comes direct from Nature and gives us a real knowledge of her boundless ef- forts to alleviate human suffering.
 In Mississippi there has recently been discovered a most remarkable mineral clay, containing medicinal properties almost beyond belief. A solution of this mineral, gotten by percolation with the water of spring found on the spot, has become the standard of efficacy in the treat ment of stomach and blood diseases in the South.
 Thousands of sufferers, tired of useless remedies and drugs, have turned to this Nature remedy and found speedy and grateful relief. Hundreds of cases of the most obsti- nate type of Indigestion and Rheuma- tism and blood disorders have yielded almost magically to this amazing remedy.
 It is purely natural, contains no alcohol and no added drugs of any kind. It is sold just as it comes from Nature. Tn whole communities in the South no other medicine is used for the family ailments. This natural medicine is sold under the name of Sulferro-Sol and no other medicine now offered is known to heal and build as this, medicine does.
 Hundreds of letters are on file in the Company office telling of the great blessing this remarkable rem edy is bringing to sufferers.
 Sulferro-Sol is sold and recom- mended by the Hesterly Drug Store. They will gladly tell you of it's great healing and building powers.

Washington Fears
Bolsheviki Plan
Fictitious Peace
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The State
Department received a dispatch to-day
from Ambassador Francis, at Petro-
grad, dated November IL and relayed
at Stockholm, arriving in code. 1t de-
scribed events of November II and II.
and stated that at the time the dispatch
was written Premier Kerensky was not
in Petrograd, but it did not divulge his
whereabouts.
The telegram said the Dolsheviki
continued to administer the govern
ment, but their authorities had not
communicated either in writing or
orally with the embassy. The new gov
eminent appeared TO be wholly occu-
pied with internal problems.
There was more pessimism over the
Russian situation in Washington to-
day than at any time since the sensa-
tional wrestling of power from the
Kerensky government by the Maximal-
lists. This concern was associated with
a realization that the Bolsheviki may
conclude a fictitious peace with the
Central Powers, or an armistice equiva-
lent to a peace, and that, for the mo-
ment, the more ignorant masses in the
various Russian armies may be misled
by Bolsheviki Misrepresentation.
In Russian quarters this develop
ment was thought TO be improbable,
but should flake" peace with the
enemv be proclaimed by the Bolsheviki,
it would not be permanent, but end
with the destruction Of the Maximal-
lists themselves.
