Paris, Oct, i7.-The whole Ger

comprising II divisions, Is In retreat
from the, North Sea to the region OF
Lille. having been beaten back and
overthrow by the allied attacks to-
day. The retirement Is assuming the
proportions OF a rout.
The fate Of the German forces
along the Belgian coast and in the
IAlle industrial area has been sealed
by the allies advance under King
Albert. on a 80 mile front.
The extreme right wing Of the
German defenses in the west has
been wrenched away from the pro-
tecting sea. ,henceforth the line
which has been buttressed by the
sea on one end and the Swiss from
tier on the other can be outflanked,
and the enemy is powerless to re-
trieve the situation. t-.
The German resistance is crumb-
ling. except in the Argonne region
where the Americans and the French
are fighting desperately with the
Prussian Guard, who are dying but
not surrendering. In a vain attempt
to save their right wing.

These silouettes are one of our
most effective means of camouflage,
it was explained, They are used in
the early dawn, when there is a mist
which makes it difficult to detect the
deception. During the night, they
are posted in open order far in front.
AS daylight breaks the enemy sees
the array dimly outlined through
the mist. 1t, usually draws the fire
of machine guns and batteries, and
gives in advance the main lines of
enemy resistance. With this, dis
closed, the men leap forward and
living figures take the place of the
painted silouettes.
Near the silouettes, artists were
turning out number Of most artis-
tic tree stumps. The stumps looked
very natural, covered with moss, but
each was handy box from which a
sniper could work with his gun. One
of these hand boxes was inside q
pile of old tin cans; and in another,
the observer looked through an orr
fee of a helmet which had apparent
ly fallen on the battlefield. But the
cans and the helmet were not real
all camouflage.
A very effective camouflage, uset
along the top of trenches. is simple
box of rough, irregular shape, paint
ed to resemble earth and covered
with gravel and twigs. This is Sc

but inside there is room for the heat

Behind the American Lines in

mounted on long poles peer with
staring eyes over the tops OF imita-

COWS for the German sniper to shoot
at and thus disclose his hiding place.
Long lines Of these dummy figures

A big oven bakes the papier mache
heads to the required hardness. Then
they pass to the artists, who put on
the natural tint OF flesh, uniform and
helmet. Finally they are mounted
on stout poles and are ready to be
held up as decoys along the trenches
to draw the fire Of the enemy. Very
often an enemy sniper will disclose
his whereabouts by taking shot
at one of these papier mache soldiers
peering over the trench front.
Turning from the plaster decoys
the correspondents were suddenly

SAYS ROGUE RIVER
GRAPES ARE FINEST

One OF the Portland daily papers
has the following to say about the
nne grapes grown In the Rogue
River valley: 3
Southern Oregon Is hiding from
hungry world one Of It's best pro-
ducts--the production OF Its vine
yards.
The Rogue river country is known
far and wide as producer OF the
best pears that nature has given
forth and It Is also known as a pro-
ducer OF really fine apples and for
its salmon. 81
IT'S really great and distinctive
product. the grape. is known only to
. few, but these few have shown
such an appreciation that the grape
men have at last begun to realize
that the gold mines have not all been
worked out, s | (, Al
The Rogue River Tokay grape Is
OF such fine quality that mere words
can scarcely describe II, This la say
ing much but only those who have
been afforded an opportunity to
taste the product really know the
full truth.
Until a year or SO ago Rogue River
was hiding Its wonderous product
from the world. at least the public
did not know that section OF Oregon
grew grapes at all. Most OF its pro-
duct had been scattered here and
there, with much going to California
interests who were not slow about
putting California label on the
fruit.
Then II dawned upon some OF its
grape growers that real place In
the markets should be secured for
Rogue Rivers product. Portland be-
gan to receive a few odd lots OF stock
that created amazement among the
trade, so bright were the colors OF
the Tokay and so unusually long did
the stock remain fresh.
Rogue River has discovered that II
can grow good grapes and 1t is about
to develop as one of the big produc'
ing sections. The growers have al
so discovered the proper method o'
packing their fruit and this too !:
4 IN aid in bringing this superb pro
duct before the people.
what the Tokay and other grapes
of that section need Is a stron'
shipping organization, one In whicl
! growers will band together to turn
out their product in the best pos
sible shape and ship 1t to market
that really need 1t. Only by prope
organization of producers can thi
be accomplished and already ther
are signs visible that Oregon's ia
nous Tokay grape will be general
: distributed. d
Oregon grapes should be, and wi
8 be sent to all parts OF the Unite
: States in the years to come, becaus
$ as the industry widens there will b
e sufficient, volume available, an
n the quality will take care of itse
l. In any market In the country.
@ It has been very foolish for Rogu
River to keep these grapes to itsel

Thousands upon thousands of
women have kidney or bladder trou-
BILE and never suspect it.
Womens complaints often prove
to be nothing else but kidney trou-
BILE, or the result of kidney or blad-
der disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back,
headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous.
irritable and may be respondent; it
makes any one so.
But hundreds of women claim
that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by
restoring health to the kidneys,
proved TO be just the remedy needed
to overcome such conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possess
ing real healing and curative value,
should be a blessing to thousands
of nervous, over-worked women.
Many send for a sample bottle to
see what Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder medicine
will do for them. Every reader Of
