FORMIDABLE TASK
 TnsnAnTIlnT AkTT7 IlJslJ,lAlPl!!UU!k![l- ! lJlAll UU!k![l- MILL
General Pershing's Divisions Will Not Attack German Stronghold Direct, but Will Surround the City
 A Long Campaign

New York, Sept. 1S.-Naturally, as result of General Pershing's victory in the St. Mihiel salient, the eyes of all his countrymen are fixed upon Metz. Its forts are now within reach of our heavy artillery, as they have been within range of French heavy guns on the hills above Pont-a-Mous- son, on the eastern bank of the Mo selle, since the autumn of 1914. From some of the latter hills Metz is visible on clear day.
 And as a result of St. Mihiei it is not too much to say that the deter imitation has been aroused in all Americans, soldiers and civilians alike, to make one part of America's work the return of Metz, and with it AL sace-Lorraine to France. The work is not to be undertaken lightly.
 As a military problem it is we'll to dismiss the idea that the taking of Metz can be by direct assault There have been too many operations like the Somme and Flanders last year to make such an operation tempting now. Metz will have to be taken by the now familiar method of the pincers.
 We are then likely to see long and slow campaign for Metz. We are bound to see the main thrusts deliv- cred, not at the forts and the imme- diate circle of defenses which now face our troops, but north and south of these defenses, a thrust designed to envelope Metz, not to take it by storm and the envelope will inevita- bly, force the Germans to evacuate the town, when their garrison is threatened with immediate encircle- ment.

WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Mena People in Poor Health
 Without Knowing the Cause.


 Without Knowing the Cause.
 There are scores of people who drag out miserable existence without realizing the cause of their suffer- ing. Day after day they are racked with backache and headache; suffer from nervousness, dizziness, weak ness, languor and depression. Per haps the kidneys have fallen behind in their work of Altering the blood and that may be the root of the trouble. Look to your kidneys, assist them in their work-give them the help they need. You can use no more highly recommended remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills-endorsed by people all over the country and by your neigh bors in MeIa.
 c. Peeler, 1913 Church street, Mena, says: T was troubled with dull steady ache in the small of my back and was advised by a friend to try Deans Kidney Pills. have never re- gretted using them, for they helped me so greatly. I surely hold high opinion of Doan's."
 Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills--the same that Mir. Peeler had Foster Milburn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

SERB OFFENSIVE
 PART FOCHTS PLAN
Activity in Balkan Win Force Bulgar- ian Troops to Return Home-New- est Battle Line May Prove
 Important in World War.

Paris, Sept. ls.--Allied forces on the Macedonian front have penetrated miles on front of fifteen and one-half miles on front of fifteen and one miles and have captured 4,000 prison CTS, according to an official statement issued by the war office.
 
 London, Sept. 1S.-Bulgarian resist ance on the Macedonian front is weak ening and the allied troops have ad- vanced an average of 10 miles, accord ing to the latest reports received from Saloniki. Fifty guns have been cap tured.
 Washington, Sept. ie.-It has been hinted in military circles for some months that this autumn would see a major operation on the Macedonian front and from newspaper dispatches of the past few days it appears that that operation has begun. While it is not possible, for military reasons, to gise the number of men intended to participate in this movement the cb- Ject IS clear, to cut off Turkey from the other central powers, to crush Bull garia and to free Serbia, Rumania and the Jugo-Slavs of southern Austria.
 It IS no surprise to the Allies to know that the Serbs are fighting gal lantly, for they are at last near their homes and are fighting for the restor- ation of their native land. The Bull garians already are having trouble among themselves and with Germany, Turkey and Austria. In some quarters 1t is believed that, when they see the fortunes of war moving against them. they will desert their allies and sue for separate peace, trying to save as much of their acquired territory as they can.
 The Bulgarians have killed many thousands of Serbs and Rumanians but the forces of the Entente are as- sured of the ardent spirit of the peo- pie who have survived the massacres. Moreover, the Jugo-Slavs in southern Austria are only waiting an oppor- tunity to join the Allies and free their homes from the yoke of Austria.

 Prussians Hurled Back
 A strong counter attack led by grenadiers of the Prussian guard was repulsed by the French, who drove the enemy back of the road leading from the plateau of Ange Gardiene to the Colombes farm. This road is less than a half mile from the Chemin des Danes. This success puts the French in possession of part of the import ant plateau of Ange Gardiene, which commands the ridge along which runs tine famous 'Ladies Way" for a con- siderable distance. It also drives deep CT the wedge south of the linden burg positions in the St. Gobain re- zion and facilitates operations in the direction of Pinon, which was held by the French until the German offensive late in May.

Tips from Texas

(Dallas News)
 Sure things are more or less un- certain.
 Beware of the friendly advice of your enemies.
 In everybody's cup of sorrow there is some happiness.
 The widows might may be the result of practical experience.
 Pride goeth before a fall even when fellow falls in love.
 Any man can be prophet, but it IS quite another matter to bet on the results.
 Some fellows depend so much on pull that they can't even pull them selves together. i.
 Keep cool. Heated discussions are not going to relieve the fuel situation.
 It's all right to have strong pull, but little push will general ly get you further.
 Sometimes a woman pretends not to know anything about homework for fear her new friends will think she was raised by poor but honest parents.
 Even an officer has to salute an other of higher rank, no matter how rank he may think him.

Things You See in the East

have just returned from
 buying trip, in company with other merchants from other cities. We visited Fifth Avenue shops and noted the fashions on view. After having inspected the new modes to be worn the coming
 season we visited the wholesale manufacturers. You can readily see that the fashion knowledge gained by our visit to the Fifth Avenue shops, and the judg- ment exercised by several of us
 viewing the new goods at the
 wholesalers, enabled us to select lnquestionably the most compre-
 1ensive stock which it has been
 possible to obtain for spring and summer. There are rumors of
 peace and there are also semi
 undercurrents for the continu-
 ance of the war, so it is a ques- tion that means for the exercise of the keenest judgment-bu
 in all, much of the merchandise
 is more conservative, for instance skirts are narrower, jackets are shorter, and dresses are made with the combination of silks, all
 to conserve woolens-so you find things all through the lines.
 Our stocks have begun to ar rive, and we invite your inspec- tion from day to day and this
 you can rest assured that we have spared no expense in bring ing to the women of Juneau gar ments as well as piece goods, just such as you see in the big cities, and at no more cost to you.
