Paris, Sept. 11.-Maj. Gen. William
c. Gorgas, surgeon general of the Unit
ed States army, after an insuection
today of the Paris military hospitals
where Americans arJ undergoing
treatment, expressed TO a representa-

faction with the manner in which the

THE cheerfulness and comn1odious
arrangements and the genuine spirit
of hopefulness of the wounded in the
hospitals has been the most impress
ing thing witnessed by me since my
arrival in France SAID General Cor
gas 1T is inspiring TO see the de-
termination displayed by our men;
they are filed with real spirit and
there is an atmosphere of happiness
among them, although they are suffer
ing from wounds. They are well talk
en- care of and the work of the medi-
cal department which I have seen Sc
far has been above reproach.''

GETS LOWER RATE
on CASTOR BEANS

Washington. Sept. HIT now seems
likely that the efforts of Sen. Tram
NELL to secure reduced freight rates
on castor beans and huIls will bear
fruit. After several visits by the SEN
ator and much correspondence with
the railroad administration. a ruling
was obtained reducing the rates on
castor beans and hu1ls in carload lots
While this ruling helped consider
ably, it did not entirely relieve the un-
satisfactory situation facing the Flor
ida castor bean raisers and Sen. Tram
nell went to work to secure a general
reduction OF rates. He is hopeful OF
being able to announce in a few DAYS
the successful accomplishment of his
purpose.

FRESH BocHE TROOPS TO
DEFEND HINDENBURG LINE

WITH the British Army in France,
Sept. 11.-There are indications that
when the retiring Germans reach the
9Indenburg line they viii pass through
the fresh enemy corps and divisions,
10 whom the defenseS have been en-
trusted. In such tactics is found one Of
the principal reasons why the Ger
man commanders have been putting
formations back into active lighting
after they had once been Withdrawn,
because the men are temporarily ex-
hausted. There is evidence that the
Hindenberg line is already being
manned by troops who have not ap-
peared in the fighting so far.
In the area over which the recent
advance was made from one end of the
British front to the other many BOBBY
-raps have been encountered and rem
dered ineffective. Mines were found
under dugouts and in dilapidated
houses TO which time fuses were at

U-BOAT THAT

SHIP B0MBE D
DEPTH CHARGE BLOWS SLiNkER
OUT OF WATER AFTER 1T HAD
ToRPEDoED THE PERsIc WITH
$500 AMERICANS ABOARD.

Washington, Sept. 11.-News Of
torpedoing of the British liner Persic,
with 2,So0 American troops aboard in
the war zone, Sept. 6, was announced
today by the navy department.
All soldiers were rescued by accom-
panying destroyers. The Persfc was
beached, and the enemy submarine is
believed accounted for by the convoy
ing destroyers.
The troops were landed on the Eng
lish coast, without injury.
London, Sept. 1.-THE transfer of
the American soldiers from the strick-
en- vessel to escorting British and
American torpedo boat destroyers was
quickly made without injury to any
one. They all escaped injury when
the torpedo exploded and they were
soon on their way to a British port.
There was no sign of panic on board
and the admirable behavior Of the
men was especially gratifying to the
officers.
Many of the troops came from Chi
cago and Cleveland and a large per
eentage of them were factory hands
of foreign extraction. Their behavior
proved that they had assimilated the
true spirit of the American soldier.
Sub Blown Out of Water.
Several soldiers told the Associated
Press that they saw the German sub
marine lifted clear out of the water
after one Of the depth bombs exploded
and then entirely disappear.
Something had gone wrong with the
troop ships engine which compelled
her for a time to lag behind the rest OF
the convoy, but the trouble had been
fixed up and she was fast catching UP
with the other transports when a tor
pedo hit her Just Onward of the engine
room.
The vessel at once began to sink
by the bow. Many of the soldiers at
the time were taking baths. They did
not wait to dress, but made for the
deck with what litt1e clothing they
could hastily lay their hands on. The
water was rushing in at such a rate
that it was thought the ship would
quickly founder
To the surprise of most OF the SOL
diers the troop ship did not do so.
Some means apparently were found
to check the thrush of water and she
got near enough to the shore to be
beached. 1t IS hoped that the vessel
ultimately can be sa1ved.

weak or disordered stomach. Are
you one of them? Mrs. M. r. Scarf,
Baldwinsville, N. Y, relates her ex-
perience in the use of these tablets:
Il had a bad spell with my stomach
about six months ago, and was trou-
bled for two or three weeks with gas
and severe pains in the pit of my
stomach. Our druggist advised me
to take Chamberlain's Tablets. l
took a bottle>home and the first dose
relieved me wonderfully, and l kept
on taking them until 1 was cured. :"
These tablets do not relieve pain, but
after the pain has been relieved may
prevent its recurrenee.-Adv.
