PHYSICIANS TELL ABOUT GOOD WORK
 NOW BEING DONE.
Men High in the Medical Profession Give Unbiased
 Opinions on Tanlac

When a physician-one who knows human ills and their treatment pet-9 ter than anyone else-comes out anu states in plain, striking terms what a medicine will do, it gives ample proof of the absolute merit of the preparation. The following statements from three of the foremost members of the medical profession in the south are incontrovertible evidence or the good Tanlac is accomplishing.
 Dr. J. l.. E. Brantley. prominent practicing physician, residing at 6oo South Pryor street, Atlanta, went to Jacobs Pharmacy to purchase anoth- CT bottle of Tanlac for his wire, ana made the following statement regard ing the benefits she had derived from the medicine:
 I'm obliged to think we'll or a medicine that accomplished what Tan lac has in my wife's case. She mas gained 15 pounds on three bottles ana is now well woman in every re- spect.
 q decided to buy Tanlac for her, because it was so highly recommend- ed for troubles like hers and I'm glad to say the results have been most gratifying. She eats anything she wants now and her stomach is alright. Gas has stopped forming and she retains and digests her food properly and has built up wonder fully I consider her improvement most remarkable and can now recommend Tanlac for what it has done for her"
 pr. IT Edwards of Fayetteville, Ga one of the best known physicians in the south. says:
 Tn my 30 years of active practice in the state of Georgia as licensed phy sician, l have never seen anything equal Tanlac as medicine 10 pro- duce results. l hear people on all sldesl telling of the benefits they have de- rived from it's use Tanlac is simply the talk of my town. I have no hesi- [tancy in recommending the medicine. and as a matter of fact l am pre- scribing it for my patients almost ev- cry day."
 Dr. G. w. De La Perierre of Winder, Ga, is not only one of the best known physicians and druggists in the stato of Georgia, but is also man of ex- tensive property and wide influence, ranking as one of the leading citi- zens of that section. He is director or the Winder National bank and North Georgia Trust and Banking company, the Farmers bank. the Barrow county cotton mill, the Bell overall company and. in addition to other holdings, has three farms in south Georgia He hA1 been in the drug business in Windcr for a5 years. Recently Dr. De La Per ierre wrote:
 "Our people are much enthused over the beneficial effects of Taniac. and desire to say that it is the most wonderful seller l have ever had in the store"
 l Tanlac is sold in Birmingham ex- clusivcly by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.--Adv'

 ANNOUNCEMENTS
 A total of 29 fresh German divisions, with two divisions which were with drawn from the Somme region. have thus far been engaged on the Lys front. There are fresh divisions in reserve here. Ninety-ei divisions have been en- gagged on the Somme front
 Hostile divisions on the battle front fall roughly into two classes. First, di- visions maintained in the line, which are relieved periodically, irrespective of opera tions, and, second. those special as- saulting divisions which pass through the units in the line for attacks. It is probable that all the fresh divisions, when they arrive, are placed in the sec ond class, so that each section of the front always has fresh assaulting troops. Their casualties and state of exhaustion would determine whether they should be transferred to divisions holding the line. These divisions are relieved normally every three or four days. In case an assaulting division succeeded in an attack, it would be fol- lowed by division which had been holding the line, which would take over the front while the assaulting division rested This system appears to have been followed by the Germans since the opening of the offensive.
 OFFICERS LEADING MEN German officers are leading their troops in the assaults, taking the places of non- commissioned officers, who heretofore have been used almost invariably for front line work Ger tainly no one can deny that the Prus- sian officers are good fighters, ana they have been leading their troops in many cases with utter disregard of their own lives. Their detention in the rear during previous fighting has | been part of the German scheme for | conserving the lives of the men re sponsible for the planning of cam paigns. Now that the crucial battle of the war is being fought, they are out i in front to get the best results possl- | ble with their men.
 1 Stories of the magnificent work be- 1 ing done by the British airmen con l tinue to be recorded, but none is more
 striking than a battle just fought when a British machine, with pilot and observer, was attacked by eight
 enemy planes. Terrific fighting en- sued The British plane with machine guns engaged the enemy so fiercely | that three hostile machines were driven down out of control in the first few minutes of the engagement The | Germans were pumping streams or 1 bullets into the British plane. and the l observer was carrying on the fight after having been wounded in SIX | places.
 The British machine finally was go badly dama ged that it caught fire and diyed steeply. The pilot and wounded observer continued to engage the re- maining five German machines While their own was descending in flames. The British plane eventually crashed in No Mans Land. over which l the German infantry were firing | steadily with machine guns. The Britt I ish infantry, however, organized rescue party and brought the intrepid airmen back safely.

There were plenty/ot signs however hat hostilities might be resumed on bie scale at anylfnoment. In the mean lime, the alD6s, with their reinforced Ind solidifed lines, are waiting com blacently flor the German armies to make the next move.
 ALLIES ARE SATISFIED
 The defenders are eminently satisfied with the outcome of the operations of he last few days. Not only have they held their lines steadily in the face of furious attacks, but they inflicted most serious losses on the enemy. It was bit Of a shock sentmentally to pull back from the Passchendaele ridge system, over which the British standard was carried in such invincibie fashion last summer. But the wisdom of the move needs no defense.
 It has slowed down the Prussian ma chine in the north to visible extent.
 MORE FIGHTING FOR KIMMEL
 There will be more hard fighting In the Kemmel- -Bailleul sector, but the German chances of effecting disas- trous defeat here are much lessened by the shortening of the British line, which has left an inhospitable zone or sheh holes and mud, over which the enemy must bring up supports. The Germans have been rushing their patrols forward in the Passchendaele system as fast as possible and vigorous sniping warfare has been carried on over the ridges or tfis sector.

Apparently, the allies have thrown in only enough of their reserves to hold the Germans conserving their strength as far as possible. It has been noted. how ever, that when the necessity of hold ing became imperative to avert disaster, the holding power was there to stop the enemy onrush.
 FLANDERS SITUATION
 In the north the enemy, after his bit ter reverse of Thursday and Friday along the GivenchySt Vincent line south of Lys, apparently is pausng to organize more thoroughly for attacks upon Mount Kennel, the dominating peak in the ridge zone which the British are holding firmly southwest of Ypres.
 The Germans were constrained to maintain infantry inactivity along virtu- ally the entire Lys front Saturday, after suffering the terrific losses which the British imposed in breaking up the massed enemy assaults.

 It may we'll be that the enemy is pre-
 pairing 8 stroke to the south of the
 coveted object with a similar end in
 view on that side. His initial attempt
 astride the Scarpe in the March drive
 was q costly failure, however, and the
 British line has been standing like a
 rock all the way between yimyl and All
 bert, just to the north of the Somme-
 SOUTH OF SOMME RIVER
 The French apparently, are looking for a renewal of the German offensive south of the Somme at no distant date, as
 was instanced by this weeks move on General Petain's part to improve his defensive positions along the Avre, southeast of Amiens. The French gained the easterly slope of the heights over- looking the river by this move, and on Friday night they had the best of reconnoitering encounter in this sector, repelling raid and taking some prison- CTS themselves.
 ARTILLERY ACTIVE The play of the heavy artillery is con tinuing along the southerly reaches or the battle lines, between Lasslgny and Noyon, near the French right flank, but no infantry fighting of moment has yet developed there.
 From Harbin, Manchuria, comes a re- port that the bolshevik authorities have ordered the munitions and supplies that have accumulated at Vladivostok to be shipped to European Russia. The en- tente allies have long been concerned lest these valuable materials of war fail into the hands of the Germans Japa- nese and British marines were recently Handed at Vladivostol<, and now It IS unoffically reported that increased anti Japanese demonstrations there nave made it necessary to arrange for the l sending of endorsements.

GREAT CROWD CHEERS

 MT. Baker spoke briefly, of the events or ms trip along the American lines in France. He pictured for his hearers the greatness of the task the country faces in setting tip a new army there aooa miles from home, and paid high tribute to General Pershing and his officers for the work they have done. A new in dustrial civilization, he said, was being superimposed on what France had al- ready built for the war, and the time was at hand when an American could so from end to end of the line and touch nothing and see nothing except that which American hands had erected to maintain great American army
 AID OF ALLIES
 The aid of France and England and Italy had been generous, he said. All allied and American men and resources had been pooled until they were merged in one great identity. All the nations had lost their sense of distinction be- tween what is theirs and what is ours. T The common purpose of all to beat back and crush German force, he said, had welded all into one.
 Going from the ports where American troops land to the front line trenches, Mr. Baker said, he had seen American soldiers by the tens of thousands and under every condition
 And found them big and strong and brave and filled with fine determination In all that time I saw not one of whom was not proud that he was an Ameri- can"
