Soldiers Who Have Toured
U. S. Are Returning to
Front Inspired.
FOUND REAL WAR SPIRIT
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

9Pershing's fifty" passed through
here today on their way back to
France. They were selected two months
ago from the men who had seen serv-
| ice in the Toul sector and came to help
in the liberty loan and Red Cross cam
paigns. They have been touring the
United States.
Altogether the fifty of them have
covered all the important cities and
many towns throughout the country.
What they say therefore Of the spirit
they encountered is a kind Of general
survey of the nations enthusiasm.
Every one of these soldiers goes
back inspired. Those with whom
talked confessed their amaxement at
the. change since q year ago whom
they sailed with the first units Of the
Pershfng expedition. The response
they got from American crowds in all
sections of the country was spon-
taneous and from the hearts Of the
people.
Value of Project Shown.
The. stories they tell of the intent
ness with which the audiences every
where listened to the description Of
life at the front and the way they
showed their patriotism later by sub
scriptions to the liberty loan, Red
Cross and war savings stamps cam
paigns illustrate the value Of the
project. Whoever thought Of 1t. did q
first class publicity stunt.
OF the fifty, the majority are very
alert and Intelligent men. Some were
doubtless better soldiers than public
speakers and were not especially dis
Greet in their descriptions Of the do
ings Of American troops. One man
was prone to exaggerate. and in over
painting his picture produced an op-
posite effect from that desired An
other spoke of s1ashing the throat of
a German prisoner Just as calmly as
il he were slapping his face. He
omitted to mention that the prisoner
was resisting, and in that community
people are wondering II the incident
could have been true.
So discretion on the part of return
ing speakers Is paramount And,
taken in all. the selections were very,
good.

BY the Associated Press.
There are indications that the Ger
mans are preparing an effort of some
magnitude to recapture the valuable
high ground won by the Australians
and Americans within the past few
days on the front east of Amiens,
north Of Villers-Bretonneux. Local
attacks occurred in the southern part
Of this region last night, but the Brit
ish had little trouble in dealing with
them. This morning, however, the en-
; emy artillery opened bombardment
Of considerable intensity in this sector
over a front Of approximately eight
miles from Villers-Bretonneux, north
across the Somme to the Ancre.
The only infantry operation within
the past twenty-four hours in which
ground was gained is reported by
Field Marshal Haig. It occurred on
the Flanders front, where the British
advanced then line slightly near Mer-
ris.
American Sectors Quiet.
The sectors Of the Marne salient
held by the Americans were unusually
quiet yesterday and last night. the ar
tillery fire being for below the normal
Franco-American troops on the
French front have taken 5.400 pris-
oners since June Is. The German
hesitation in resuming the offensive
is giving the allies, although pre-
pared to meet 1t. little concern, as
day by day they improve their posi-
tions by advances in local operations
which a year or SO ago would have
been looked upon as sizable battles. Z
Franco-Italian successes in Albania
apparently threaten seriously the
Austro-Hungarian situation in CEN
trail Albania The French are making
good gains in eastern Albania west
of Lake Ochrida, while the Italians
are advancing speedily in the west.
The Austrian line appears to be "
shaped with the allies pressing hard
on both tanks and the point of the
salient being near Beret. An Aus
trian retirement of any moment would
probably compel the Bulgarians to
rearrange their lines in Macedonia,

Wanes on the western front, We are
startled By the intensity Of the cam
paign begun by Austrians on the ital-
ian front These big drives Of the
great war keep us daily on the alert.
But these campaigns on the battle
front are not the only drives that
should demand our attention. We
should not allow our enthusiasm to be
alone for the fighting If We do. our
soldiers will not get the support we
owe them. Our fighting men need
every ounce of suppOrtive strength
and all the heart power we have.
A big drive is now on. AS far as we

biggest drive ,now before US. We are

DRAFT SLACkERS
TO BE INVESTIGATED

Federal authorities are getting
ready TO institute = meFciless cam
paign TO run down and punish a new
form of draft Stacker.
This new Stacker is the draft re-
eistrant who was granted deferred
Classification at the time of his re-
gistratiou, but whose status since
has 50 changed that he no longer is
entitled TO exemption, yet who re
mains silent about this change in
the hope that il viii be overlooked.
There are estimated to be hun
dreds of such cases in Oregon and
thousands of them in the United
States. Suspicion particularly has
been directed against a great many
of the deferred classifcations grant
eC for industrial reasons.
1t now appears that the status of
Uen is not the same as when they
ere granted deferred classification
Yet they nave failed to notify their
local boards and continue TO enjoy
exemption from military service In
some cases. also the original classi-
fication was not justified
Many cases where deferred classi-
ication was granted for dependency
also have changed in status but the
registrant has not notified his local
board
Withs the time at hand when the
need for manpower is so urgent that
every available man must either
work or fight, and when the lower
classitlcations are to be revised in
order To make more men available
for Glass |. this form of evading mill
tary service will not be tolerated.
The campaign to run down these
draft slackers will be started very
soon, and it will be a rigorous cam
paiGn Men guilty of eyading mill
tary service by failure to report when
they should be reclassified, need look
for ne mercy
II man is in doubt as to a change
Ct status, he should see his local
board about it without delay.

Tanlac Sales Phenomenal!

1t is, indeed, doubtful if anything
ever placed on the market in the way
of medicine has sprung into such popu-
lar favor in 50 short time. People
everywhere have been quick to recog-
niZe its wonderful merit. The demand
for it has been nothing short of phe-
nomenal.
In Seattle, Wash, over so, 200 bot
ties were sold and distributed by job
ber and retailer in eight weeks time,
which established a new record there,
and is unprecedented in the history of
the drug business. In Denver over
$4,000 bottles were sold in SIX months,
in Ft.Worth, Tex, l22, 204 bottles were
sold in twelve months, in Atlanta, Ca,
over l66, 600 bottles were sold in twelve
months time, in Dallas. Tex. 100, 000
bottles were sold in twelve months
time, in Knoxville, Tenn, the Kuhl
man.C .Chambliss Go. sold and distributed
4S, 326 bottles in nine months, in Louis
vile, KY, the Taylor lsaacs Company,
who operate eight retail stores in that
city, sold 81, 600 bottles in less than 80
days. In fact, everywhere Tanlac has
been introduced its sale has likewise
been phenomenal and the demand for it
is continually increasing A total of
more than half million bottles of the
medicine have been sold through the
Atlanta office alone during the past
eighteen months. and it is without
doubt the most widely talked of medi.
cine today.
When asked to explain this record
breaking demand, Mr.. G. F. Willis,
International Distributor of Tanlac,
said; There can be only one possible
explanation, and it can be told in one
word, merit. That tells the whole
story. No preparation, no matter how
extensively advertised. can possibly
meet with such phenomenal success
unless it possesses extraordinary cura.
tive power.
Thousands upon thousands are testi-
flying daily that they have been re.
lieved of disease after years of suffer-
ing by its use.
Tanlac is sold in Hood River by
Kresse Drug Co. ADV.
