With the American Army on the Lorraine Front, Sept. 1S.-Squadrons of American manned tanks operating for the first time on a large scale, in the attack on the St. Mihiel salient, played an important and dramatic part in the defeat of the Germans. Di- yided into brigades-light, intermedl- ate and heayy--the tanks swung out onto the field of battle immediately af- ter the barrage
 Before the day ended they had en- tered the villages of Nonsard, Pannes, l4amarche, and Binney, considerably ahead of the infantry.
 Early in the action difficulties were experienced in getting to the front suf- ficient gasoline although a great fleet of gasoline tanks had been prepared to carry supplies The gas tanks were attacked by the enemy or were mired and it was here that American inge- nuity came to the rescue.
 Barrels of gasoline were trundled and rolled oyer the roadless fields byI daring volunteers to meet the most pressing needs. Bobsleds were found more efficient in carrying suppnes since they could be dragged over tnei mud without being mired, and on them of gallons of gasoline were to the fighting tanks. The advance Of the tanks brought out many examples of daring on the part of their crews.
 One major whose machine was equipped with a 37 millimeter gun in-I stead of machine gun, violated his orders and went far ahead until he was within range of Nonsard
 With one well placed shot he knocked two Germans out Of church steeple from which they were firing al machine gun.
 A lieutenant shot through the palrll of the left hand by an explosive bulletI was sent to d hospital but escaped and walked six miles back to the field. He appeared at his tank with the statement that he could carry on" with his right hand
 Several other were wounded but re . mained on duty No one was killed, however, although a German six inch shell ploughed clear through a small tank and injured only one of the crew. Another tank captured bat tery of seventy sevens" but was SO far ahead of the infantry it could not turn over the guns to them.
 The story is told of another tank which went into a town with a ser geant armed with a rifle perched on the turret This machine captured two batteries of seventy sevens," five machine guns and many men.
 Tanks were occasionally as much as two miles ahead of the infantry, throwing consternation into the Ger mans. Part of the success which at doubtedly was due to the intensive training given drivers who are taught to operate the machines blindfolded guided only by signals from the gun ners. This sometimes is necessary when the drivers are blinded tempo rarily by splashes of mud
 For several days before the offens- i've the tanks which w5.o take part were meneuyered into an interior town, while the civilians watched them with amazement with knowledge oi what it portendeG. Some time before the battle the tanks crews were givcr

MEDIATION IN WAR
Roman Popes, From Earliest
Time Deemed 1t Privilege.
First Instance Dates From 400, When
Effort Was Made to Arrange
Peace With Goth Leader.

From the earliest time of papacy,
popes, as the religious heads of the
Catholic church, have considered Ii
their task to intercede as mediators
in temporal disputes, observes a his
tOrian. Following are Il few instances
AS early as 400, when Alaric l de-
clared he would withdraw from Rome
only on condition that the Romans
should arrange a peace favorable to
him, S. Innocent went with an en-
bassy of the Romans to Emperor Hon
eriuS, at Rayenna, to try, If possible,
to make peace with him and the Goths,
but failed in his endeavors to bring
about peace. More successful was
Gregory |, who played the same part
on the occasion of the invasion of Italy
by the LOmbards. Owing to his friend
ship with the Lombardian queen Theu-
dulinda, he actually mediated a favor
able peace. When northern Italy was
bishop of Rome, Leo 1.-THE first of the
great p0pes-by personal encounter
with the king of the Huns, prevented
him from marching upon Rome. He
went in ASP to upper Italy, and met
Attila at Minci0, In the vicinity of
Mantua, obtaining from him the prom
ise that he would withdraw from Italy
and negotiate peace with the emperor.
This pope also succeeded in obtaining
another favor for the inhabitants of
Rome When in 455 the city was cap
tured by the Vandals under Geneseric,
the "scourge of God" Leo's interces-
sion obtained promise that the city
should not be injured and the lives of
the inhabitants should be spared.
Another pope, Benedict the Twelfth,
who from 1884 to 1912 occupied the
holy see, was as unsuccessful as
mediator as the present supreme pom
tiff. At that time Charles " of France
had died without leaving an heir, and
when his cousin, Philip VI, put the
crown on his head, his right to do so
was contested by Edward III of Eng
land. Benedict XII, who wanted to
mediate, was not listened to, and there
ensued hOstilities lasting, with some
interruptions, for hundred years.
The pOpes mediated successfully be-
tween Christian opponents in cases
where 1t was important to unite them

Getting Rid of CoIcss.

The easiest and quickest way TO get
rid of cold is to take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and it's
value fully proven. No matter what
remedy you use, however, care must
be taken not to contract a second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, and there is serious danger
OF this. A man of middle age OF older
should go to bed and stay in bed until
fully recovered. 1t is better 20 stay in

Sometime ago a number OF peo-

man were induced to buy stock in
a corporation known as the Capital
Petroleum Oil Co. OF course most
of the buyers soon forgot all about
the little fling they had taken in an
endeavor to lure dame fortune, un-
til this week, when dividend checks
began coming in to the aforesaid
adventurers, since which they have
been displaying these evidences of
luck with no little pride. In fact
Manager G. w. Tucker of the local
telephone exchange is in a guam
dry the last few days as to which
he is most elated over, his Fourth
Liberty Loan bond or his oil stock
dividend check. Anyhow, the boys
are having some fun out of it even
if these dividends are not enough
to start q bank or exchange for a
new limosins.
