HUNS PENETRATE
To DEPTH MORE
THAN TEN MILES
General Pershing's Communication
Shows That the Capture of $4,000
Prisoners by the Germans Should
Not Be Regarded as Unusual, Con-
sidering the Nature of the Onrush.
fBy Associated Press)

Washington, May 29.-An addition
to General Pershing's communique of
yesterday reports the repulse of two
German patrol attacks Sunday and
Monday. Lieutenants Rickenbacker
and Campbell, airmen, downed an enc
my machine while fighting six. The
reported cited the case of wounded
American sergeant who drove off an
enemy patrol of four. The War De-
partment is highly pleased with the
conduct of the Americans IN their
first offensive in Picardy. 1t pointed
out tnat the attack was made with
speed and precision, testifying to the
hard-hitting qualities of the Ameri-
cans. Some believe the attack may
forecast the launching of a counter
offensive of large scope by General
Foch
They regard the time and place of
operations as right for a feeling out
thrust as a preliminary to a counter
assault in force. The German claim
of $4,000 prisoners taken on the Aisne
doees not strike observers as unusual,
should it prove true. British and
French official statements have shown
that the front line trench system of
this sector was overrun in the enemy
rush, which appears to have been
penetrated to maximum depth of
ten miles.

With the American Army in
France, Tuesday, May 2S.-The Amer
leans advanced to line $50 to 200
yards east Of Vantigny, in sue
cessful attack today. The Americans
started across No Mans Land joking
about "eating Boche for breakfast
and fought like veterans when the
officers sprang forward and shouted
"Come on, boys!"
Lieutenant Butler Of Indianapolis,
who was wounded slightly, said he
found Cantigny a pile of ruins, lev
eled by the American artillery.
"German machine gun bullets were
buzzing like bumblebees," he said,
"but they received no more attention
from our fellows than they would if
they had been confetti"
Butler said the men were eager for
the fight. Some remained up all night
discussing the approaching adventure
with cheerful anticipation. 1t was
the finest example of team work he
ever saw, he said. There was no
hitch anywhere. The men joked, but
were businesslike in their work. Many
of the Americans who participated al
so took part in the repulse Of Ger
man raid against the American lines
Monday. 1t is reported that one par
ticipant in Mondays affair was found
today in shell hole in No Mans
Land with two wounded Germans as
prisoners He was unable to return
to the American lines Monday night,
so he stood guard until the attack
today liberated him and secured the
prisoners to the Americans.
"It's Easy" Says Officer.
Lieutenant Wood of Oakland said
he didn't see an American fall. "It
is more exciting than football" he
said. eve have the Hun on the run.
All we need is more Americans. Then
we shall lick them" The Americans
penetrated the German lines to the
depth of nearly mile. The Ameri-
can artillery completely smothered the
Germans and the roar of the Ameri-
can guns was heard miles in the rear.
Several fires are burning behind the
German lines. Twelve French tanks
supported the American infantry.

A Dead Stomach
Of What Use Is It?

Thousands? Yes. hundreds of thou sands of people throughout America are taking the slow death treatment 1aily.
 They are murderfng their own stomach. the best friend they have, and in their sublime ignorance they think they are putting aside the laws of nature.
 This is no sensational statement; it is a startling fact, the truth of which any honorable physician will not deny.
 These thousands of people are swal- lowing daily huge quantities of pepsin and other strong digesters, made espe- cially to digest the food in the stom- ach without any aid at aN from the digestive membrane of the stomach. Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis tressed stomach in five minutes; they do more Taken regularly for a few weeks. they build up the run down stomach and make it strong enough to digest it's own food. Then indigestion, belching, sour stomach, and headache will go.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by druggists everywhere and by The Lee & Osgood Co.. who guarantee them.
