OLLIE NEEDS A REST.

It is said that Senator Ollie James, Democrat from Kentucky, has held either Federal or State office since he was thirteen years old. At that tender age he was appointed page in the Kentucky legislature, and from titat day to this has been favored with public office. Mir. James comes up for reelection next fall, and it is felt by the good people of his state that a period of retirement, say about 100 years, to private life would be beneficial both to him and the coun- try.

Several hundred German prisoners en-
ployed in the handling and discharging
of cargoes at a French port recently
went on strike because they were asked
to assist in handling supplies from
America to be used in war against their
country, according to officers of an
American ship which arrived mere to-
day. THE strike was instigated by
some of the German officers, who were
acting as foremen," enc of the Ameri-
cans said. 1T did not last long, how
ever, as dozen or so Americans doinG

promptly took the matter in hand. The

be better for the Germans to reconsider
which they did"

While Lieutenant Homeister saw the
horrors of war on many sides, his bat

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Tuesday. April 25.-(By the
Associated Press. THE Valor and
steadfastness Of the american troops
during the German attack at Seicheprey
last Saturday is given unstlnted praise
by the French troops on the same front.
This admiration for the fighting quail
ties of his transatlantic comrades IS
demonstrated in a report forwarded 10
the general commanding, by the colonel
of a French infantry regiment which
took part in the Seicheprey engagement.
Il visited Renneres wood after the
counter attack in which the position was
recaptured and examined the situation
in detail" says the report. Every
where traces of hand-to-hand fighting
show that the American soldiers, de-
spite two hours of heavy bombardment
by large caliber guns, defended them
selves valiantly.
I'm the vicinity between the front
trenches and the communication trench
connecting TIE Jury and Renneres woods
two American machine gunners died

the ground around with German dead
The enemy suffered great losses, thanks
to this heroic resistance.
Everywhere there are signs of Ger
man wounded having been carried off,
while many German bodies remain be-
cause the retiring enemy was unable to
remove them. Numbers of these dead
belong to German storming detach-
ments."
The French soldiers who Joined in the
fight declare that the Americans Us
played splendid spirit OF combat. They
relate that north of Seicheprey an Amer
lean detachment was separated into
small groups and was cut off from the
company to which it belonged through
out the entire fight.
Behind the Americans and on their
left flank were German units. but they
could have retired on the right How
ever. they decided to stick and fight,
which they did with wonderful valor.
notwithstanding the incessant enemy
bonn bardment and rifle fire Numerous
lhand-to-hand combats were fought in
the course of this long struggle, from
which the Americans found themselves
obliged to retire toward nightfall. but
only after destroying their machine
guns.
In Seicheprey a squad of Americans
found several Eases of grenades, with
which they succeeded in putting up a
terrific fight and holding out the entire
day on the northern extremity of the
village. They refused to surrender when
summoned to do so. and at the end of
the fighting only nine out of the origi-
nal twenty-three were left. A cook, sur
prised by the Germans and half stunned
by a blow from a grenade. seized rifle
and continued firing until he fell dead.
Toward evening a hospital which had
been established in Seich eprey was
blown up along with the doctors and
ambulance men. The chief surgeon of

ambulance cars as soon as he learned of

eventually reached the village. where

Many as Sixty Afflicted
With This Disease

CAMP SEVER, Greenville, 8. C.,
April 25.-One hundred men from Camp
Sewer. who have been in training at the
officers school at Leon Springs, Tex,
arrived at the camp yesterday morning,
having graduated from this school last
week. Although they have not yet been
commissioned, they have been placed on
the eligible list for second lieutenants
and will be commissioned to fill vacan-
cies occurring in the division Their
status at present is as ranking non
commissioned officers in their organisa-
tiOns.
About 30 or % per cent of the en-
listed personnel of the division here are
being treated for hookworm. This is
recent development in medical exaInina-
tions and a general campaign is on in
the camp to cure the unfortunates. Ned
zeal attention is being given daily and
all those afflicted are placed on light
diets Some companies report as many
as sixty being especially treated for
this.
First Lieutenant CASTOR Tisne has
been appointed Liberty Loan officer and
a general campaign is on in the camp
for the third Liberty Loan. Although
most of the enlisted personnel of the
DIVISION is already heavily OutuchCo
with allotments. insurance and other
Liberty Bonds. il is expected that a
large amount will be subscribed by the
men 10 the third Liberty Loan.
Nothing has been developed to solve
the mystery of the disappearance OF
Captain Albert Barr from Camp Sewer.
After a few weeks of sickness, he re-
Gently disappeared from his tent. The
only reason assigned for his disappear
ance was that he was brooding over III
health, which had caused state of mel

The machine gun battalions at Camp
Sewer received their full equipment of
machine guns today. There had been
some doubt as to the kind of gun that
would be assigned to the mcn here, and
it was generally expected that the
Browning gun would be received. But
the arrival of the Vickers gun relieved
the doubt and quick work was made in
putting the new guns in a condition TO
be used.

Americans Are Located on
BittereSt Part of Line

WASHINGTON. April 24.-The ma
ton today was stirred at word from
England that some Americans are now
brigaded with the allies on one of the
bitterest sections of the western line.
Coupled with the tidlng as to British
initiative and daring in the U-bost base
raids, this news gave the country a
fresh sense of optimism.
The process of brigading the Ameri-
cans is being hurried. Daily, the war
department receives reports of shifts Of
the United States forces, and these
changes are carefully tabulated. Soon
most of the army will practically have
lost it's identity, being swallowed up in
the French and British machine.
The changes abroad served to empha.
size strongly today the fact that Gem
eral Pershing has complained as to
generals assigned by the war depart
ment, contrary to his own recommends
tions. This is the first clash of opinion
between the department and the com
manding general, and marks departure
from the generally accepted principle
that BLACK Jack could have practically
anything he asked, when he asked.

Ostend and Zeebrugge. army and navy

That American naval officers knew
something of what was in the wind
was indicated within the past few weeks

that the operation had been undertaken,
and an expression of hope that this
marked only the beginning of a genuine
naval aggressive policy that would

IN THE LAND O.
COMMON SENSE
Saws it is suicide to cut corns,
and tells how they lift
right out


You simply say TO the drug store man.
Give me a quarter of an ounce of freez-
one" This will cost very little but is
sufficient to remove every hard or soft
corn from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon a
tender. aching corn should relieve the
soreness instantly, and soon the entire
corn. root and all, can be lifted out with
the fingers without pain.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that while freezone is
sticky it dries in a moment, and seems
to simply shrivel up the corn without
inhaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.
Don't let father die from infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns, but
cut this out and make him try 1t.
