GERMANS ALARMED

Washington, Sept. 14.-Fanic is seiz- ing German towns new within range of American guns. Inhabitants are frantic with fear that the Tanks will soon reach the Rhine-only fifteen miles from the American positions in Alsace. Authorities ,s,:-o desperately trying to calm the populace which only grows more alarmed at each weak assurance
 Z This is the condition of German morale brought face to face with in- vasion by the soldiers of democracy, according to French official dispatches received here tonight
 Rumors fly wildly from village to village by word O. mouth from people who, closer to the front, have heard the rumble of American guns and air planes with the. fed, white and blue bulls-eye flying overhead.
 Wrust of simple peasants even be- yond the Rhine has vanished and thousands who once felt secure gre now clamoring for peace.
 The Mullhauser Tageblatt says the American offensive and runiors of a long range gun which will reduce to ashes the towns of the country there about, is madly alarming the inhab- . - itants.
 News of the American victory at the Rhine, despite the most rigid censorship by the German govern ment, diplomatic officials here believe.

 q was so run down and wesk from eight years of suffering with stomach trouble that I had hardly any more strength than baby. Everything J ate seemed to poison my stomach, and gas would form until it would swell me up and cause me hours of agony. I had to be lifted out of my chair when I sat down to rest, and couldn't have climed flight of stairs if my life de- pended on it. I spent lots of money on medicines, but couldn't get any re- lief.
 AS a last resort I took Tanlac, and it proved to be just tie thing l need ed. It's just remarkable now last l improved after I began using it. l have splendid appetite now, and it seems that everything l eat agrees with me and builds me up, for I have increased sixteen p4ands in weight and am well woman again. haven't a sign of my old troubles any more, and my strength has come back to me in full force, and I car do most any thing I want to-"

WITH THE MARINES
Little River County Boy Writes About
 Work with the Marines.

Paris Island, s. G., Sept 10, 1918. Little River News,
 Dear Editor:
 have now been with the U s. M c. 30 days all of which time have spent on Paris Island. I have wanted all the people that are subscribers to your paper to know what the Marines are. l am sure they have read of their won derful work overseas, and now I'll try to give you sketch of a Marine. He is soldier of the very best quality, it takes the best to stand the eXamina tion. You see them in every nation friendly to the U. s. The Marine has the hardest training of all military training and therefore can stand the most hardships of lall. They have dummies to practice their bayonet drill, so they will learn how much weight to put behind their piece so as to have the best effect. The ma rines are not a branch of either army or navy, but they are men physically fit and trained for extra duty. If they are put on ship they know what to do, the same in an airplane or on land. They were the first bunch of U. s. men to go over the top in France. The na- wy boys are spoke of as "Gobbs," the army as "Tinhorns or Jackies" and the Marines as 'Leathernecks."
 I am al real leatherneck by now, aI- though I like it better every day. don't know of anyone except myself in the Marines from Little River coun- ty, so if you have record Of amy, boy I would love to have his address We'll, l will close If this doesn't find the waste paper basket I would be pleas ed with the copy of your paper it is in.
 I remain,

London, Sept. 15.-Generai Per shings army, according to this after noon's news, is making fine progress. Since yesterday afternoon it has ad- vanced from two to three miles on a 33-mile front and the fortress guns of Metz have come into action against it.

 American patrols are advancing at various points a couple of miles be- yond the general advances.
 The American line at noon today ran through Norroy. on the Moselle, Haumont, Doncourt and to Abau- court, on the old lin>.
 Yesterdays advance by the French seems to have been in the nature of several local pushes and not big general forward movement. The situa- tion is much the same as it was yes terday. The enemy mas been react ing very violently on the French front He made several counter-at- tacks, although he has not recovered any of his lost ground he is holding up the French somewhat.
 The British today are reported to have captured the village of Mats- seny, northwest of S.. quentin.
 It has been discovered that there were six German divisions operating in the St. Mihiel salient. That would give a total strength of 60,O0O men, or . rifle strength of 36,OOO. The Germans had broken up for them two more divisions in this action, thus re- ducing their strength in the west to 191 divisions, plus four Austrian divi- sions and some dismoun:ed cavalry.
 British apture Maissemy.
 The British have captured Mais- semy, northwest of St. Quentin, to- gether with the trench system to the southeast and east of that place. Field Marshal Haig makes this announce ment in his night report:
 The text of the statement reads:
 By successful minor operation carried out early this morning our troops captured Maissemy, northwest of St. Quentin, together with the trench system to the southeast and east of the village. One hundred pris- oners and number of machine guns were taken by us.
 "On the remainder of the front a few prisoners have been brought in by our patrols in different sectors.
 "The hostile artillery has shown considerable activity during the day at a number of points along the bat tie front south of the -Cambrai road"
