Great Lakes, IlL-The word
Jackie" Is doomed Officers and
men of the Great Lakes naval
training station, their patience eK-
hausted by public use OF the term
in referring to sailors, have declaf-
ed a new type of warfare.
Instead of being a term Of af-
fectionate esteem as intended by
the public, the title is highly ef-
Terminate and in no way describes
the true Great Lakes bluejaeket,
officers declare. They add that
the Great Lakes sailors are real
men and real fightsrs-not maya
zine cover idols.
The Great Lakes Bulletin, off
cial paper at the station, points out
that the good meaning civilians
who insisted on picturing the men
as rosy-cheeked youngsters who
had Joined the navy much as they
would pick up a new toy, must be
supplied with new titles IL Jackie
is to be buried. So the paper Of
fers these synonyms:
Sailor, Cob, Tar, Jack, Blue
jacket
"If any civilian called a sailor in
this station molly-coddle there
would be a grand fight" says the
Bulletin.
yet the sailors stand for the

Joe Schroeder, proprietor harness

There was a dull misery in my
back and it was all 1 could do to
get through with my work. My
Kidneys didn't act as they should
and 1 was bothered a great deal by
having to get up often at night to
pass the secretiOns. l had heard
about Doan's Kidney Pills SO tried
them. 1 bought two boxes at Beng
ston's drug store and they fixed me
up in good shape and l have never
been bothered in that way since"

GEN. FOCH AFTER
 ENTIRE HUN ARMY
 ON SOUTH FRONT
Success of Flank Move ment with Americans Helping Will Trap
 Entire Division.

LONDON, July 18.-Adviccs re- ceved here this forenoon say the French attacks between Chateau Thierry and Soissons, have been made on a considerable scale, with excellent progress.
 These attacks mean strategic moves by Gen. Foch to counter at tack against the Germans for the blow they delivered farther south along the Marne rover.
 The sector of attacks includes part of the American front. Sue. cess on the part of Gen. Foch would endanger the entire German salient created South of the Aisne, as we'll as those South of the Marne. The tactics, also, if carried to a success ful issue, would result in the capture of great numbers of prisoners and guns and war material.
 There have been no further enemy attacks East of Rheims. The French on that front have regained ground at various points. South Of the Marne, the French have recaptured Montvoisin and heights overlooking the river.
 Slight German progress Is reported North of Stagnan and Southwest of Dormans.

DOING GOOD WORK

ON THE FRENCH FRONT, July 1S.-AIlied aviators have done nota' ble work during the German often sve, maintaining their mastery of the air.
 Carrier pigeons proved an import ant factor in carrying on the fight ing on the Champagne front, bring ing back messages concerning Ger man movements.
 One pigeon brought the request for French artillery to fire on DO sition occupied by their own com ,ades, because they were surround ed by the enemy.
 The gunners were compelled to fire accurately in order to save their comrades, and moved down the enc. my and spared their own men.

New indications That Flank Movement May Trap the Huns South of the
 Marne River.
ONLY LOCAL FIGHTING
Belief Is Expressed That Already Offensive Has Degenerated into
 Local Actions.

WASHINGTON, July 18.-Military officials believe that the German plans have been frustrated for their offensive, and that already, one of the biggest offensives of the year in it's preliminary stages, has desen erated into local actions on front less than 20 miles.
 Officers see a hopeful outlook in the situation and especially the pros, pect of an Allied counter stroke against the German exposed Hanks, with the possibility of isoiating the Germans South of the Marne.
 Unless the enemy wdens it's far therest South wedge across the Marne, and strengthens it's positions there, the German troops will be com peIled to fall back again, or be in immediate danger of being trapped 7gxe tfie e3astrtanss were voorssssedr'os the Piave river.
