TELLS RTIABLE
TALE OF WANT
AND PRIVATION
Mississippi Minister for Twelve
Years Had Eaten Hardly
Enough to Keep Body
and SOut Intact.

Rome, Miss, April 25.-The Rev
R. B. Longford, d. D., a well-konwn
minister of this city, recounts de-
plorable tale of privation and mis-
cry. For twelve years he had been
able to eat little of nothing and fell
in weight from 100 to 155 pounds,
owing to a lack Of proper assimilation
Of organic iron.
After having tried many remedies
without any apparent relief, he was
induced by friend to try Acid Iron
Mineral. After the second bottle, he
reports he was entirely relieved. He
yesterday said: II take great pleas
ure in recommending Aim for both
indigestion and pellagra. suffered
from both these diseases for~many
years, and am we'll on the road to re-
covery. / can now eat anything !!
like without any. sign of Indigestion
whatever"
What DR.. Langford has to say Of
AIM is mere repetition Of that cited
by many thousands of individuals
throughout the United States, who,
during the past thirty years, have
used this natural iron mineral water
with marked success, and many Of
whom have frequently reported COM
plete recovery after having tried
every conceivable remedy on the mar
ket.
While its cost is mere trife, the
distributors of this marvellous remedy,
the Ferrodine Chemical Corporation,
are so confident Of irs success that
they unqualifedly guarantee it to do
what is claimed for it, or your drug
gist will promptly refund its pur-
chase price.
Aim is in no sense a patent med
icine or secret remedy. It is a nat
ural mineral water, containing all the
health producing, tissue-and-blood
building properties Of purely or
ganic iron. Messrs. Froehling & Rob-
ertson, the well-known. chemists of
Richmond, Va, after thorough an
alysis Of this product, officially GER
tify that the following ingredients
compose AIM:

AMERICAN LOSSES MUCH
LESS THAN ESTIMATED
Bravery Of Chaplains Notable
In Seicheprey Fight.

With the American Army in France
April 25.- Further details received at
headquarters Of the engagement
around seicheprey show that the
American troops were outnumbered.
in some instances, eight to one.
More Of the American wounded
we're found today. one Of whom was
buried alive for three days and had
been trampled over BY the enemy
when he had crawled to the surface,
in the belief that he was dead. The
American casualties are considerably
less than the first estimates.
When the complete story of this en-
gagement is told the bravery of the
regimental chaplains will be one Of
the outstanding features. One of
them, Father William J. Farrell, of
West Newton, Mass, went to the as
sistance Of a battery when four of
the American gunners were killed
and carried up ammunition and help
ed to keep the gun working all Satur-
day night. He was injured, but re-
fused to have his wounds dressed
Sunday morning until he had carried
Myron Dickinson, aged IS, of Bridge
port, Conn.,, one of his wounded com

dearly as possible. Unnecessary she'd
ding of blood we will prohibit to the
civilian population. Yet ! ask you to
consider that too much consideration
borders on cowardice and that will be
punished very severely"
After this speech Of our captain we
were loaded on our autos and at a.
m. crossed the border into Belgium.
In order to make this a historical oc-
caslon we were ordered to give three
cheers. On the speedy autos we
reached our goal at 10 a. m. 1t was a
beautiful little rural village. Inhabi-
tants Of the villages we had passed
looked at us In establishment, so that
we all got the impression that these
country people never knew why we
came to Belgium. They were fright
ened out of their sleep and looked out
at us from their windows.
AS we halted and left our autos, the
farmers came out and offered us cof-
fee, bread, meat, etc. We were still
without field kitchen, so that we en-
joyed the enemy's offerings more so
since those Of the better class of vii
layers refused any pay. They told US
the Belgian soldiers had departed to
some unknown destination.
After a short rest we marched on.
The autos returned. Hardly had we
marched an hour when we were over
taken by cavalry, dragons and hus-
sars, who reported that the Germans
were marching all over the neighbor-
hood on all roads. Right behind came
the bicycle corps.
This was comforting. We no longer
felt alone, isolated in a strange coun-
try. Another bicycle division over
took us and passed on. Angry words
were now uttered by members Of our
company. The others could ride but
we had to walk. What we had always
taken for granted suddenly became
great injustice. If it did no good our
grumbling at least was a diversion
from the weight Of our packs.
The heat was oppressive. The sweat
came from all pores. The new and
stiff leather trappings rubbed us sore,
especially upon our hips. 1t was re
lief at 2 p. m. to halt at an abandoned
farm and rest on the grass. We
might have lain down about ten min
utes when suddenly we heard firing
We jumped up like lightning and bur.
ried to our guns. The firing which
was about three kilometers away grew
more lively. At once we were on the
march again.
From the expressions on the faces
of the soldiers we could read the minds
Of the men. Something took posses
sion Of them which they had never ex
perienced before. AS for myself
became very restless. Fright and curl
oslty dashed my brain. Everything
whirled around IN my head and ny
heart was beating wildly. But / strovs

short. At l a. m. we were again
aroused and honored by a speech from
our captain. He said we were at war
with Belgium. He told us to show
ourselves brave, deserve the iron cross
and bring honor to Germany. Then he
continued:

BOLSHEVIKI
Calls on Allied and Neutral
Nations for Joint Action
to Suppress Revolving
Crime Wave.
Associated Press Service

Associated Press Service,
WASHINGTON. Sept. 21-Horri-
fed by ne bloody reign of terror in
Russia, the United States today call
ed upon all allied and neutral ma
tions to consider what they may do
10 impress upon the bolsheviki the
aversion with which the civilized
world regards their wantOn crimes.
BY direction of Pres't Wilson. Sec'y
Lansing dispatched an identical in
struction 10 every American diplo-
matte representative in the foreign
capitals asking them to make repre-
sensations looking TO joint action
with a view to impressing upon the
perpetrators Of the crimes the aver
sion with which civilization regards
their present wantOn acts"
The action aligns the United
States with that of Great Britain
and France in declaring the bolshe-
Wiki responsible for the murders,
crimes and excuses which have
shocked the world, outlaws and
public enemies.
w lldAENtI dGAAull may hE htNAhNa
upon by the nations. separately or in
CONCERT, it is made clear that it will
be quite apart from the prosecution
OF the war against Germany.
Alliance Causes Step.
The reported action of the bolshe-
Wiki in effecting an alliance with
Germany for offense and defense is
an added cause for the step. Off
ciaI reports from Russia, many COM
ing through neutral countries. have
recited revolving acts that have
astounded and shocked the world.
The reign Of terror has already
greatly hindered the efforts of the
United States to alleviate an impend-
ing famine in Russia, as il is i'm
possible to furnish much needed
supplies TO that part of the country
under boishevik control without act
ually feeding the German army and
the German people. II is conceded
that there is enough food in south
eastern Russia and western Siberia
10 feed all the Russian people If a
means Of distribution could be eff
fected to prevent the supplies from
falling into German hands.
Presents Dangerous Situation.
The alliance between the bOlshe-
Wiki and Germany presents a dan
gerous situation TO the allies, in that
it may afford Germany an opportun-
ity 20 increase her waning man
power.
Sec'y Lansing today reiterated
that the efforts OF American troops
ut VladivOstok and Archangel were
solely 10 aid the Czecho-S lovaks to
leave Russia for the western front
and not to establish an eastern battle
'front.' or in any way 10 interfere with
the internal affairs Of Russia.
II is known that the Russian peo-
pie as a whole are opposed TO the
Lenine and Trotzky regime, but are
kept in subsection by the terrcrists.
And il is TO save these loyal Russians
that the United States has called
upon the civilized world TO take inn
mediate action.
