Kaiser'S Desperate Blows Fail
TO Break Allied Ranks on Marne

WITH the American army on the
Marne, July l7--At the hour of fill
ing this dispatch there have been no
changes on sectors of the battle front
held by the American troops or those
where they are fighting with their
allies.
The fighting continues sporadical-
ly throughout the Marne region and
the artillery activity is rather heavy
all along the line.
Although the Germans are still at
tacking the allied lines v.ciously on
10th sides Of the Rheims salient,
what gains they are making continue
to be small ones on isolated sectors,
and seemingly are confined to the
region along the Marne and imme-
d'ately southwest of Rheims.
Eastward from the cathedral city
through Champagne, the French re-
port they are holding the enemy and
Eeeping their line intact.
Everywhere the battles are being
Ftubbornly contested, and where the
French and Italians have been COM
PEELED to give ground it has been
only after the infliction of extremely
heavy casualties on the invaders.
The Americans nowhere have been
forced to withdraw.
At Fossoy, near the bend of the
Marine, between Chateau Thierry and
Dormans, they have made further
improvements in their positions.
Like their French comrades. the
Americans also have been engaged
in violent fighting.
1t becomes increasingly apparent
the German command is attempting
The blotting out OF the Rheims sal
!ert and the Strengthening of the line
eastward through Champagne toward
ferdun. The hardest fighting OF
Tuesday was southwest of Rheims,
where the enemy is endeavoring to
break through the hill and forest
region, reaching the railroad running
from Rheims to Epernay, and force
'he evacuation of Rheims.

RHEUMATISM LEAVES

Deem Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are

Twenty four Hours.

Every druggist in this county is au-
thorized to say to every rheumatic SUI =
ferer in this vicinity that if two bottles
of Allenrhu, the sure Conquerer or
rheuna tiSm. does not stop all agony,
reduce swollen joints and do away with
even the slightest twinge of rheumatic
pain he will gladly return your money
without comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years and really marvellous results
have been accomplished in the most Sc
we're cases where the suffering and
agony was intense and piteous and
where the patient was helpless.
Allenrhu relieves at once. lmmedi-
ately after YOU start to take it the good
work begins. 1t searches out the uric
acid deposits. dssolves the secretions
and drives rheumatic poison out of the
body through the kidneys and bow els.
It's marvellous how quickly it acts.
Blessed relief often comes in two days.
and even in cases where the suffering
is most painful all traces disappear in
few days
Mr.. James H. Allen. the discoverer of
Allenrhu, who for many years suffered
the torments of acute rheumatism, de
sires all sufferers to know that he does
not want cent of anyone'S money un-
less Allenrhu decisively conQuers this
worst of all diseases, and he has in
structed pharmacists to guarantee it in
every inStance.-AdV.
