GERMAN RETREAT ..
 IS IN FULL SWING
Belgian Rush A Factor-King Albert Llkoly ro ke-establish Capital on His Own Soil This
 Winter.

WashingtOn. Oct 3.-The German 1jtre.t from the Hindenburg line was v full swing today, menaced by the French, Belgian and British thrusts at vital points. While official reports told only of the evacuation Of Armen- tieres and Lens, officers here expected that this phase of the wi.ndralwai must be expanded to the south at once under the threst of the British push northeastward from their lines between the Scarpe and Cambrai.
 As evidence of the confidence with which the allied leaders have studied the future ever since it became cer- tain that the United States would get a great army to France for the fight ing this year, it is now known that reoccuDation of the Lens coal fields has been definitely figured on for sffne months in computing fuel needs and supplies. There also are 1ndi- cations that American coal mining units, equipped with the most up-io- date m sch:nery, even with the means of fighting possible fires in the workings, will be ready to enter the mines as rapidly as the armies force the enemy beyond them. General Pershing's forces will get some part of their coal this winter from this source. relieving the shipping situa, ton to that extent
 Belgians Surprised Enemy.
 The force that compelled the Ger man leahers to order the evacuation of the Lens-Armentieres front un- doubtedly was the wholly unexpected rush. in Belgium in which the Be- Cf ifc dier. king, formed the spearhead that broke the way for swift expansion of the victory by French and British forces. There appears to be little doubt now that King Albert will be able to re-establish his capital on Bei- gian soil this winter.
 Threaten U.B0at Bases.
 In Belgian Flanders the Belgian, French and British troops are keep, ing up their eastward progress in their endeavors to compel the Ger mans to give up Ostend and Zee brugge, their naval bases on the North sea.

CHEMISTS RID DOCTORS FAVOR
TIE MEDICINE OF NAUSEATING.
AND DANGEROUS QUALITIES
NEW VARIETY CALLED "CALO-
TABS.-

A triumph of modern pharmacy that
is destined to bless the whole world
that is the opinion of physicians and
druggists who are familiar with the
new calomel that is wholly free from
the Objectionable effects of the old
style calomel.
An occasional purifying of the sys-
ten and thorough cleansing of the
liver are absolutely essential to health
and, as all doctors know, calomel is
the only drug that accomplishes this
result. Now that the unpleasant and
dangerous effects are entirely remov-
ed, the popularity of the new calo-
mel, Calotabs, will be vastly increased.
It's effect is delightful One tablet at
bedtime, swallow of water-that's
ell. You wake UP next morning feel
ing fine, your liver cleansed, your
system purified and with hearty ap-
petite for breakfast. Eat what you
please-no danger. No restrictions Of

LOYAL RUSSIANS WOULD
FIGHT IN ALLIED RANKS

YOKOHOMA, March 29.-Possibly
none of the many tragedies which has
befallen Russia in the past year is
more pitiful than the plight of the pa
triotic and loyal officers of what was
once the Russian army. Stripped of
their rank, robbed of their resources,
in danger from their own men, yet
unfit for anything save the military
career to which they have turned their
lives, thousands of these officers re-
main loyal to the Allied cause
Many of them, in hte last few
months, have arrived in Yokohama
from Harbin and Vladivostok on their
way to America, where they have
hoped to gain admittance to the forces
serving under the Stars and Stripes.
Others, having lodged the searching
Red Guards, slip into the ports of
the China coast, remove their dis
.guise and with the money they have
realized from the sale of their personal
belongings, attempt to get passage
through Suez to Italy or France, where
they believe they can be of service to
the Allies.

patriots may be seen in the streets oi

United States may employ them as

According to the reports brought
here, hundreds of these officers are in
Vladivostok awaiting a chance to get
away, in the interior there are thou
sands more who would come if they
could and there are generals who
would accept any post in the American
army, but in Russia they are watched,
prosecuted and shot, robbed of their
authority, reduced to the rank Of
priyates and allowed a private's pay

brought here of how they have been

an element in Russia with faith in the
Allied cause.

Stop itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, $1.00. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In short time
usually every trace of eczema, letter,
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
nent for skin troubles of all kinds.

The highest strategy confronting

Nervous activity of this kind by the
Germans is sure to continue. Fire.
ouent assaults of the character OF
Seicheprey adventure can be expected
during the period of final trench train,
ing of the American forces. Every
one of them will mean a German
slaughter, and this will be a victory
for America, regardless of any slight
changes that result in the lines OF
the battle front.
This spirit Of recklessness is the
greatest fault of the German militar-
lists and by it's operation alone means
their ultimate undoing. The Germans
are wholly incapable of letting well
enough alone That is the reason why
they embarked on their submarine
warfare which forced America into the
war. That is why they started their
present west front offensive which is
proving to be without adequate com,
pensation for the terrible slaughter
of German man-power; that is why ev-
cry major mistake of the German mill
tary faction has been committed.
A kind of neurasthenic irresponsi-
bility prevails at German headquar-
ters. The higher command is thinking
always in terms of the initiative. This
is disastrous trait. 1t means Won
Hindenburg and the Hohenfiollerns
cannot restrain their mania for kill

TWO new STARS
NOW IN MAKING
By H. C. HAMILTON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.l
NEW YORK, April 24-Two youth
full ball players are going to have ex-
traordinary chances this year of carv-
ing their names deeply on the history
of big league baseball.
Out of the west has come one young
ster, out of the east the other has
sprung. Each is with a club figured
to have a great deal to say about the
disposal of the National league pen
nant this year. Never were conditions
better for the debut of budding star
than this year.
And, as in times gone by, warnings
are being sounded to these youths,
warnings that had spoken to players
who have come and gone before
many times unheeded. Don't let ad-
vance publicity and promises of great
things initiate your head" is the way
those warnings sound. One of these
youths has needed this and is keep
ing doggedly at it. Symptoms OF IN
flated opinion already have struck
the other youngster. He may recover
from it or he may not. 1t rests with
himslef. If he does recover it and
lose his self-consciousness he probab
ly will become great ball player. If
he still believes he is already big
league star he is destined to trouble
some life as a big Lacquer and is
destined for an early trip back to the
minors.
One of the youths is Charley Hol-
locher, a shortstop; the other is Ross
Young, an outfelder
Already the correspondents have
tipped New York off that Young is the
greatest young outfielder to go to the
Giants in many and many a year.
They predict that the youth will live
and endure as star even greater some
day than George Burns, who already
is famed as the National leagues
best gardener. All the praise that has
been heaped on him hasn't had the
slightest bit of effect so far on young
Mr.. Young. He has gone right ahead
playing spring baseball and has man
ag to grab off the job that Davey
Robertson called his own, and with
such brilIiance that he acclaimed
better felde9, faster and better base
runner, and a mere frequent hitter
than Dave.
Ross Young really is Texan, but
he owes his baseball development to
the east, where sojurned last summer
under the International leagues stiff
pace His batting average was sec
ond only to that of Napoleon Lajoie.
Hollocher is a graduate of the Pacif-
ic coast. He is hailed as the best
shortstop that maker of shortstops,
Walter McCredie, ever has turned out.
But the advance information regarding
his prowess had some effect on Hol-
locher, for the first thing he did was
to hold up the Cubs for an increase
in salary. He has been doing well,
however, in spring games, and Chi
cago scribes are enthusiastic about
him His hitting has been the cause of
the only complaint and that is expect
cd to improve.
