British troops in the past twenty
four hours have captured 1901 Ger

that the enemy is expecting further
concerted attacks at various places.
A captured order points our that the
allies must now be expected 10 strike
heavy blows and bewails the lack of
assault troops as rendering any pros
pect of successful counter attacks or
effective resistance impossible.
Prisoners recently captured say
that every effort has been made to
suppress all news Of the American
success at St. Mihiel. concerning which
alarming rumors prevail. The general
impression seems TO he that the Amer

NEGROES BEING PAID
TO DODGE THE DRAFT
ALLEGED THAT GERMAN MONEY
is BEING FREELY USED IN
MISSISSIPPI.

JACKSON. Miss, April 1. The
first concrete evidence that German
money is Icing used to encourage Mis-
sissippi negroes to dodge the draft is
furnished in report filed at the adju
tant generals office from F. K. Eth
ridge, state inspector of local exemp-
tion boards.
The report shows it has been practi
cally impossible to get negroe regis
trants to respond to the notices to re-
port sent out by the local boards of
Holmes county, and Inspector Eth
ridge made an investigation which
disclosed that C. H. Mason. pastor of
negro church known as the Church
lof God in Christ. has been preaching
pro.German sermons and advising ne
groes to resist the draft.
! Three weeks ago. according to the
| inspectors report, foreigner named
Dirmitrims Giannokullion conducted a
meeting for period of one week at
this church. While in the town of
Lexington this foreigner received a
message in code which Mr. Ethridge
attaches to his report. No translation
is available.
An investigation made on the
Church of God in Christ" shows that
it has headquarters at Los Angeles,
and seems to be we'll supplied with
money. for in August of last year a
$4,000 brick church was built at Lex
ington, for which local negroes fur
nished only small part of the building
fund. 1t is also shown that the pastor
heretofore an obscure negro preacher
recently erected a $4,000 brick and
stone residence on a valuable lot in
Memphis

It is understood, however, that the re-

Teaching Children to Love their Dolls.

The little childs doll is mother to the
most romantic fairy. And in the years
that pass, the doll fades into the petals
of a June rose. to evolve the most Won
drous of all transformations.
And now comes a more serious period
when the joy of real moth erhood should
be as tranquil as best effort can pro-
vide.
This is accomplished with a wonder
full remedy known as Mothers Friend.
An external application so penetrating
in it's nature as to thoroughly Intricate
the myriad network of cords. tendons,
nerves and muscles just beneath the
skin of the abdomen.
It relieves the tension, prevents ten
derness and pain at the crisis and en-
ables the abdomen to expand gently.
The muscles contract naturally after
baby arrives and the form is thus pre-
served
1t should be applied daily, night and
morning. during the period of expect
ancy. BY regular use it enables the abb
domen to expand without the usual
strain when baby is born. Naturally,
pain and danger at the crisis is less.
