Gus paths, lined on both sides along
the surface of the ground and extend
ing over the top of the trenches at
times, with mazes of barbed wire en-
tanglements. AT last we came to the
place where we were permitted, after
they made sure it was as safe as
could be expected of such a place, to
climb up high enough to see out across
the desolate expanse of ground well
termed mo Mans Land" with its
many lines of barbed wire, to wind
ing line which is the Germans first
line of trenches. How quiet and aban-
doned it looked, but there was death
for anyone who should venture out ex-
cept under cover of darkness. Well
satisfied with out little trip, we thank
ed our guides for their kindness and
retraced our steps to the little cave
in the side of the hill. Though / can
not describe the looks of these trench
es I'll tell you it is revelation to see
the work and intricacies of even
one tiny part of this gigantic game.
1t is entirely different from my con-
ception of what it would be.
There is practically quiet except
occasional raids at night, as far as
the infantry is concerned, and instead
of alertly manning every yard of the
trenches, the men live in little groups
in deep dugouts at intervals of several
rods But you must remember that
this is a quiet sector, and of course
they are not all like this. Here they
face each other in practically the same
positions they have held for three
years, so have things quite comfort
able, both being content to wait, and |
thus | suppose it will be until Amer
lea is ready to begin the great drive,
which, in my opinion will when it
comes, end the war. But its advent is

a million men to take active part in it.

Proper Food for Weak stomachs

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another Every one
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have weak
stomachs need to be especially careful
and should eat slowly and masticate
their food thoroughly. 1t is also i'm
portant that they keep their bowels
regular When they become c0nsti-
pated or when they feel dull and stu
pid after eating, they should take
Chamberlain's Tablets to strengthen
the stomach and move the bowels. They
are easy to take and pleasant in eff
feet.

Be amiable, cheerful and good ma

easy. These tablets not only move the
bowels, but improve the appetite and

Young Soldier Tells of Visit to the
Trenches in France

The following extracts from letter
direct from the trenches in France
cousin of our Walter Keith. The
letter is dated "Cave No. 8, France,
March 49,"
Well, another move has come, and
now | am about as near the Germans
as one can safely get. On the night
of about the 18th, the other half of
our company relieved those who had
been cup to the front" for ten days.
We came near here in our ambul-
ances, then separated into small
groups to depart for our several sta
tons. In this place are two other
men and sergeant besides Paul and
/. We live and work in conjunction
with the same number of Frenchmen.
1t might interest you to know bit
of our trip up here and of events
since we came, trusting that there
will be nothing herein that might give
Comfort to the enemy"
We left about dark, and as we sped
over the smooth roads with our packs
and necessary articles for the ten
days stay our spirits were the high
est Rather than seeming as if we
were on our way to the trenches and
scene of almost four years desola-
ton, the feeling was as if we were
out for little joy tour in the still
evening air.
After passing through several small
towns filled with the boys in blue and
khaki, we came to one station beyond
the large artillery where some of
our boys are working at dressing
station. Here we were taken short
distance from a back yard, near
which they are, and shown an eight
inch German high explosive shell
which had fallen and failed to ex-
plode there. Useless to say, no one
bothered it, as many times the reas-
on for this is the catching of tiny
spring or delicate piece of mechanism |
which fails to work properly, and |
slight jar might be sufficient to set
it off. Less than half the German
high explosive shells explode now,
while the French are considered to
make better showing.
The Germans do not as a rule shell
the town, but try to destroy the
French and American batteries be-
hind the hills just outside of town. In
nearly every sheltered spot of any
consequence are batteries, camou-
tagged with grass and limbs, SO as to
be secure from aerial detection.
Then we wandered about town see
ing the holes made by the shell, the
morgue (there were three Americans
there at the time ready to be buried),
and the cemetery with its scattering
of freshly dug graves. Soon we five
piled into the car again and continued
toward this place. The land on both
sides of the road was peppered with I
shell holes and barbed wire entangle- I
ments, while at frequent intervals in /
the road could be seen the crushed
rock but recently thrown into she'll !
holes along it. The road is screened ,
all along on both sides and along side 8
it runs narrow track on which shells {
are brought up to the front on little I
cars. I
After travelling thus, we learned the s
could go no farther, so we {
piled out and donned our heavy packs.
Following the little track for about v
$50 yards, we entered tunnel about !

LAUDs AMERICANS.
Yankee Dash and High Courage Finest
Thing of Battle.

Paris.-"The finest thing of the COM
bat was the dash of the Americans"
writes Lieutenant Entraygues, the spe-
cial correspondent at the front for the
Temps. ut was fine thing to see
these grand fellows, with their tunics
thrown off and their shirt sleeves
rolled up above their elbows, wading
the rivers with the water to their
shoulders and throwing themselves on
the Boche like bulldogs.
ANY one who has seen such sight
knows what the American army is
good for, henceforth and to the end of
the war. At the sight of these men,
magnificent in their youth, physical
force, good temper and dash, the
Germans fled with every leg or sur
rendered without awaiting the order
to throw away their arms and take off
their suspenders, which is the first
thing a prisoner is told to do in order
that he may be compelled to keep his
hands employed and out sof mischief

lines gripping their trousers, haggard
and mad with terror"

1t is the peoples money, to be raised
by taxation to help pay the enormous
cost of the war. The billion can easily
be raised by taxes on whisky, wines
and beer. Otherwise, members of
congress who will vote for prohibition
are frank enough to state that they
don't know where this billion will come
from unless consumption taxes are inn
posed upon some of the necessities Of

JAPAN APPROVES
WILSON'S PROJECT
AGREES TO JOINT INTERVENTION
BY UNITED STATES AND
JAPAN IN SIBERIA.
Objects of Expedition Will be to
Protect American Interests and
Interests Of the Russian People
In Their Fight for Democracy

LOrdOn.-The Japanese diplomatic
council has agreed to the American
proposal for joint Intervention ny Jap.
an and the United States in Siberia,
says Central News dispatch from
Toxic, under date of July II.
A proclamation will be issued assur-
ing Russia that the entente has no
aggressive designs in intervening in
Siberia, the dispatch adds.
1t is probable that relief commits
sion will accompany the joint expedi.
ton, it is stated.
Plans for the military expedition to
be conducted jointly by the United
States and japan, with Great Britain
and France, it is understood, do not
at this time contemplate the recon-
struction of the eastern fronts as
battle line to draw German troops
from the west.
The object of the expedition, as they
will be outlined in detail in President
Wilson's statement, which he personal
ly is preparing, will be to protect
American interests, the interests of the
Russian people themselves in their
fight for democracy, and for the safe
guarding of vast supplies which will
be sent to Russia as part or the pro-
gram of economic aid.
The presidents statement will be
the official announcement TO the world
of the decisions which were referred
to in recent news dispatches from
Toxic and London. No official an-
nouncements have been made before.
it is understood, because the United
States has been awaiting official WORD
from Toxic of the acceptance OF its
proposals, which are understood to
differ somewhat from those advanced
by Great Britain and France.

French Cavalry In Battle.

Paris-For the first time since the
Marine battle French cavalry played a
part in the victorious advance. In the
Champagne offensive of September,
1915, cavalry patrols were engaged, but
their activities were hampered by the
barbed wire of trench warfare. In
Hindenburg's retreat they did use. sew
eral units. Last week they came back
into their own, not as dismOunted
units, as which they have performed
such gallent work in every battle since
March, but in the true cavalry func-
ton as scouts and skirmishers in the
van of the advancing infantry.

HUNS APPLY TORCH
TO COVER RETREAT
BLOW UP MUNITIONS DUMPS
AND BURN STORES WHICH
THEY COULD NOT REMOVE.
Franco American Troops Continue
Their Forward Drive, and Germans
Now Evidently Realize That
Allies Have Upper Hand.

With the Army in France.-North of
the Marine the Germans are making
preparations for a further retreat.
In the angle between the Marine and
the Ardre, on the eastern side of the
salient, the enemy has been blowing
up munitiOn dumps and burning stores
which they have not had time to re-
move. The enemy's position is in a
heavy wooded and broken country.
without main roads and railways in
shape to use.
To feed the SOissons-Marne front
the Germans have only one railway
line from the Aisne in the neighbOr-
hood of Mourg to Bazoches, where it
joins the main line Of the SCISSORS
Rheims road. The latter road is still
in condition for use for a certain dis
lance on each side of BazOches, but
the junction there is being bombed
constantly.
The remaining force of the enemy
may possibly fall back to the line of
Nesle, abandoning the Crise and the
commanding plateau surrounding the
Crise and Vesle valleys.
That the Germans now realize to the
full that the allies have the upper
hand in the battle seems apparent from
reports that they are burning villages
behind them in their retreat and de-
stroying large quantities of munitions
and war materials throughout the en-
tire salient which they have found it
impossible to move, owing to the rapid
strides of the allies. Big guns now are
throwing shells far behind the lines,
searching out the entire countryside,
Wine allied airplanes are marrying the
retreating columns with machine gun
fire.
The efforts of the Germans to re-
tard the FrancO-American forces were
particularly heavy Monday in the reg
ion of Grisolles and Bezu-St. German,
respectively northwest and north of
Chateau Thierry, where the Americans
are giving battle. On all three sectors
the enemy lost further ground, ana
g his forces in the Chateau Therry
pocket were therefore placed in great
er jeopardy.
Realizing the seriousness of his
predicament, the German crown prince
is said to have sent out distress sig
nails to his cousin, Grown Prince Rup-
precht Of Bavaria, whose men are fac
