FINS EXPECTED
 TO STAY FOREVER
Practically Every Street in French Towns Had Been Given. Ger
 man Name

With the British-.American Forces in France, October --(Correspondence Of the Associated Press. )-That Germany expected to occupy for a long time, and perhaps permanently, the northern DOT tlon of France. is shown by the fact that the Hun military authorities changed the names of all the important streets in the larger towns which feil into their hands. There is scarcely a village where a distinctly German designation was not given to a road or street.
 , Such names as Kaiser Wilhelm strasse, Bismarck strasse,'' 'Von Hindenburg strass,'' etook the places of the French names. When the American troops operating with the British entered these towns they took particular delight in destroying these signs and replacing the original French markings
 The Germans told the French inhab- itants of these towns that in future France would be divided into two partss- north France, which would belong to Germany, and south France which the French would be permitted to keep. They put the inhabitants under severe dis cipiine and required them to stand at attention and salute whenever one of their officers addressed them or passed them on the street,
 When the German officers entered any of the homes the whole family was re- auired to" stand at attention until they left Breaches of this order were severe ly punished. The boches had the pop- ulation thoroughly cowed and permitted thcm only the most ordinary privileges.
 When the Americans and British came ir the people wept with joy at their deliVerance from their oppressors.

HUNS ADEPT IN THE NEFAR|OUS WORK OF
 CONCEAL|NG MINES
Grenades Placed Under Their Own Dead Killed Australian Stretcher
 Bearers

With the British-American Armies, November 5.-tCorrespondence of the As sociated Press )-German deviltry seemed 10 Know no bounds in the last days of the fighting on the British front after the Hindenburg line had been shattered. They attached grenades to the bodies of dead Huns left behind in the German retreat, so that when the bodies were lifted the grenades exploded, killing or wounding the bearers.
 Near the town of La Chateau, a num- Der of Australian stretcher bearers were killed by these grenades in attempting to remove some German dead from the field in front of an American machine gun position. Thereafter no Australian would put hand on a dead German. In some cases the bodies were dragged to their burial places by means of a long rope which allowed the streacher bearers to keep out of range of any expoldinG bapd grenades.
 1he Americans, on the other hand, hit upon the plan of malSingsst the German prisoners bury their own dead. In one instance a boche prisoner was summarily snot because he refused to remove the body of one of his dead companions. An

 Fortune must have been mapping when the Turk achieved those successes, for at other junctures in this war she has been conspicuous for her aversion to him. First. the Grand Duke Nicholas wrested Erzerum, Trebizond and other Armenian cities from their Turkish mas ters by masterly fighting early in 1916. Then Sir Stanley Maude wiped out the memory of 'Kut-el-Amara by capturing Ra gdad and pushing his lines far beyond that city.

 Startling. also, have been the fluctua- tens of fortune one the Italian front. HERE IS ITALY'S GRAND STORY
 Italy declared war upon Austria Hun gary in May, 1915. Advancing methodic- ally the Italians first plugged the passes Of the Alps, to protect their left flank from Austrian rruptions from the noun tains, and then opened q series of tre- mendous attacks on the great stronghold of Gorizia For over a year it with. stood their efforts, but Count Cadorna, the Italian chief, was not to be turned back from his purpose. Gorizia fell at last, in August 1916. From the beginning to the-end of this phase of the Italian fighting, fortune1 was with the Italians.
 They continued to press their success in the campaign of 19i7. By magnificent work they captured the peak of Monte Santo. Trieste, the goal of their hopes, seemed within their grasp. But the Aus Ltrians pulled themselves together and hung on to the last lines before the city. The attacks of the ItaliansAdied down.

 Through 9 gap pinched in the Italian left flank around Caporetto and Tolmino, a force of Germans and Austrians poured
 in October, 1917. Plunging forward, they opened the gap wider and wider, cutting in behind the Italian center and right, strung out along the Bainsizna plateau toward Trieste. There was nothing for the bulk of Cadorna'S $ army to do but re- treat at the oouble quick to slave off being surrounded. Even as it was the Italians before getting to safety behind the Piave lost upward of 250,0O0 prison CTS and 2500 guns.
 Yet that same army, under a new com mander. Diaz, stiffened by French, Eng fish and American aid. and reimbned with morale and enthusiasm, flung back the Austrians when they sought to break the Piave lines last June, and, after three months of preparation, completely wiped out old scores by dashing across the piave, scattering the Austrians like sheen corraling more than 500,0o0 prisoners and thousands of guns, and bringing the proud Austro-H Hungarian empire to pti-s ful surrender
 Which brings us to the greatest reversal of fortune of them all-one which, ap- propriately enough, happened on the banks of the Marne, sacred enough be- fore, now thrice sacred to the end of time.
 It is the Fist of March, 1918. Freed from worries on the eastern front by the col lapse of Russia, the Germans have con- centrated vast forces on the western front for last desperate gamble. In fog and rain they strike the British lilie between Cambrai afd St. Quentin in ovei whelming force, sending the Fifth army, under General Cough, reeling before

 In one small town evacuated by the Germans many of the beds were found to be mined An American officer tired and worn by long and hard fighting, sought rest on lounge in a room pre- viously occupied by German officer. The lounge blew up and he was in- stantly killed
 Another officer picked up a pair of field glasses left by the Germans and was adjusting the focus when the glasses exploded in his hands and blew away a part of his face.
 The Huns had become adept in the ne- farious business of making internal ma chimes, mines and time fuses. and there was scarcely an area where the electriv cal and engineering experts of the allies did not find some new form of their fiendish ingenuity.

NEW JERSEY MUST

Solons of State Have No Special Privileges Under
 Federal Operation


 Trenton, N J., November 30.--The fed- eral railroad administration has decided that the state law requiring railroads in New Jersey to furnish passes to certain officeholders is of no effect while Uncle Sam is operating the railroads Thus. after January 1, 1919, certain New Jersey citizens will either pay fare, walk. stay at home or board in Trenton. -s
 The governor, state senators members of the house of assembly, judges of the higher courts, certain state officers other than the executives have been entitled to these passes, as well as most of the legislative employees.
 Each year the legislature either added to or made an effort to enlarge the list. The passes, it is said, were used throughout the year by many holders and were especially desirable to tbe South Jersey resident who spent his summers at the shore. Many of the officials now commute to Trenton on their passes.

He believes that high wages, like high wages in the steel and other industries. can be offset by reduced ex- penses, by perfected American organi- zation. by obtaining fuel at low cost by the installation of the latest i'm provements in equiprnent and the use of speedy loading and unloading ap- paratus at ports, similar in kind to those, which have been used with great success in handling ore and grain car goes which are shipped through the Great Lakes.
 With Chairman HurIey's view ship builders are not entirely satisfied He may be right but they are not sure of it. They believe that a competent commission upon which representative of organized labor is placed might, by careful study, by visit-to foreign coun tries, at last be able to make report upon which the government and the people may so act as thereby to estab- fish the perfect method which will make our merchant marine, after peace is es- all that is expected of it.

q have strongly emphasized the great necessity of physicians making blood examinations of their weak, anaemic. run n-down patients. Thousands or per- sons go on year after year suffering from physical weakness and highly nervous condition due to lack of sufft- cient iron in their red blood corpuscles without ever realizing the real and true cause of their trouble. Without lron in .your blood your food merely passes through the body. something like corn through an old mill with rollers So wide apart that the mill can't grind.
 For want of iron you may be an old man at thirty. dull of intellect, poor in memory nervous. irritable and all runy down while at 50 or 60 with plenty of iron in your blood you may still be being brmming over with vim and energy.
