often suffer much from lice. When
numerous, lice are serious drain on

A very troublesome affection with
hogs, is caused by mite or parasite
that pricks the skin Of the hog to get

NOTHING BUT PROXY SALUTE
But Wounded Officer Appreciated
Kiss That Came With War Cross
That He Had Won.

An officer, writing from hospital
in France, tells how French officer
pinned a war cross on his pajamas.
and how, without any warning, one of
the nurses hurried to his bedside and
planted "a nice rosy kiss on the ugly
mug of yours truly" There is no rea-
son to believe that this is love affair.
Doubtless it was a proxy kiss-it rep
resented the feminine members Of his
family.
Fiction nurses have been of one
kind. In the illustrations they were
strangely beautiful. Always their
hands were cool and their uniforms
fresh. Some young millionaire had
been picked up and carried to the hos.
pital where the nurse fought for his
life-grim death stalking just behind
the door. His identity was not known
but he was man, wide of shoulder
and small of girth. He had a flat
back and his close-cropped hair was
inclined to be curly. BY and by he
became rational. The first thing he
realized was the cooling touch of the
nurses hand on his feverish brow
But why continued. He. always mar
ried her, and they lived happily eve

Only a few of the coats and wraps

and the work goes quickly, but the
wide bands on the handsome gown
pictured are not embroidered in this
way. Many of the stitches are short
and set close together. This pattern
is striking and exactly suited to the
yarn used for working 1t out. The
dress is simple in design, and needs

sized in 1t are the lovely color combina-

Special Cable to Ercning Public Ledger

Amsterdam. Sept. IL
The Austrian situation continues to
alarm Germany. The Deutsch Zeituns
prints long message from Vienna on
the situation, saving:
The development of political events
in Austria strides with -lcagued
boots toward a decisive point.
Ever more boldly does czech treason
raise its head, and the more distinctly
the signs of catastrophe appear the less
inclined does the Government seem to
be to oppose them. A few days ago
the Czech religious heads of all the
Bohemian dOceses issued a manifesto
demanding an Independent Czech state,
and in that document there is not the
slightest mention of the Austrian dyn-
asty or Government.
The CzCchs are not frightened to de-
clare that an Independent Czech state Is
now only a matter of weeks or months"
The correspondent thinks the Austrian
Government is playing into the hands Of
the Entente in allowing itself 20 be
driven along by the Czechs, which is
lust what the Entente desires. The
Austrian Governments approval of a
scheme for a federal Austria would, he
says, be regarded by the Germans in
Austria as the most shameful capitula-
ton in history.

With the American Army in Lor-
raine, Sept. 14.-Brilliantly supported
bv the French General Pershing has
accomplished the limited objectives'
of the operations undertaken in the ST.
Mihiel region. The two forces pushing,
respectively. southeast and northwest
took position after position from the
enemy, advancing with rapidity, pre-
cision and dash that disheartened him
after his reverses of recent months.
Few late actions have yielded so much
ground of so important nature.
The preliminary artillery work in
the dark hours of Thursday morning
was demorali2ing in the thoroughness
of it's destructiveneSs. The enemy
was prepared for a possible blow in
this region, but four hours of almost
unsurpassed shelling with gas and
from guns of all calibers left him
powerless to bring up his reserves or
maintain communications. His roads
were torn uh, his supplies and ma
terial destroyed, his ammunition
dumps sent skyward and villages be-
hind his line fired. A large number
of prisoners, quantities of supplies and
many guns fell into the hands of the
Allies.
Eventual stabilization here will free
important lines OF rail communication
as well as roadways, and leave in the
possession of the French and Ameri
cans high ground that will be of great
military advantage when the wet sea
son begins.
In the military sense the action has
been normal in all its aspects except
in the rapidity of execution. This does
not mean there has been no hard
fighting. There has been fighting
both brilliant and fierce. because one
vitally important point was held by a
famous well-tried German division.
Nevertheless, the division was unable
to withstand the steady and unswerv
ing advance of the Americans thrown
against them, and in addition lost
many prisoners to the Americans.
The only enemy weakness was In
his artillery, the reply of his big guns
being deficient and spasmodic through,
removed the greater part to safer po
sitions. But his machine guns were
vicious enough to compensate for this
Prisoners unanimously testify to the
accuracy and the deadliness of the
American preparatory artillery fire.
Observers had so completely located
the principal German works in ad
vance that the enemy troops could
only take to their dugouts and await
the end of the bombardment.
The prisoners taken by the Ameri
cans have come from seven German
| divisions, among them men from the
Landwehr and Landsturm. The Austro
Hungarians made prisoners came from
