ARMY LIFE TRAINS HURDLER
Bob Simpsons Case Is an Exception,
According to Views Of an Eastern
Sport Critic.

Bob Simpson, the worlds greatest
hurdler, is said to have demonstrated
that army training in itself is prac-
tically sufficient to keep man in shape
to do himself justice in any speciality
he may have in athletics. Lieutenant
Simpson, after a layoff of five months
from athletics, went over the high
sticks, without preparation, inside of a
second of his worlds record of Ia 3-5.
The chances are, writes an Eastern
sports critic, that Simpson is an ex-
ception and that his theory would not
apply to the great majority of athletes

To Save Straw.

Keep fire away from straw stacks
and sell the straw for the use of the
army, is the advice of the grain and
hay marketing specialists of the bu-
reau of markets, who point out the
Wastefulness of burning it, especially
in view of the demand for it at the
many army camps. 1t is suggested
that all straw be baled as soon after
threshing as possible. If assistance in
marketing straw is needed, the grain
and hay reporting service OF the bu-
reau of markets is ready to help.

run its course. Nature herself will
throw off the attack if only you keep
up your strength The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily
resistance that there is danger of pneu-
monia or bronchitis developing and
sometimes Inflammation of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For these
reasons, it is very important that the
patient remain in bed Until his
strength returns-stay in bed at least
two days or more after the fever has

HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that this
is a germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing. sneezing or splitting. SO
avoid persons having colds which
means avoiding crowds common
drinking cups, roller towels, ETC. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty of
exercise in the open air and good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
Above all keep free from colds, as
colds irritate the lining of the air pas

Use Viek's VapoRub at the very first
sign of cold. For a head cold, melt
a little in a spoon and inhale the va

available, use an ordinary tea-kettle.

a general feeling of weakness and de-

St. MihieL

Let us go slowly Hamba gachle (go slowly) as the Zulus used to say. We have won one of the most brilliant and striking victories of the war. We have taken in two days vicious salient that has stood out ten miles into the allied lines like a great thorn in the flesh for four long years. But let us not get up in the air over this feat. The German lines here had been stripped of their best troops to hold the French, English and American thrusts fur ther north at more vital points. The Ger mans evidently counted on the advantage of position and ground and concrete in- trenchments and heavy gun power to hold these quiet lines of Lorraine But the Tanks struck so quickly and so ferociously that they were swept off their feet and had lost their strongest posi- tions before they got ready to fight. The rest was slaughter, with picked, eager, young. terrible troops jamming the land wehr and Austrian amkeshift and stopgaps and the raw levues and sprinkling of first line troops like platoon of police in riot.
 It was a master stroke. Of that there is not a doubt.
 As this IS written the number of pris- oners taken in the cutting off of the salient IS not known Two divisions (twenty-six thousand men) were reported in the neck of the bottle and were thought to be doom ed to capture. Let us hope so.
 This is splendid beginning we have made. A wonderful beginning St Mihiel salient was mostly high ground and steep hillside and rocky promintories and guns and concrete shelters and trenches But re- member, it is only a beginning. Our real objective is Metz fortress, twelve miles dis tant and protected by intrenchments seven miles deep.
 The loss of St. Mihiel was the price the Germans had to pay for bringing troops to hold the English before Cambrai and the French before Laon.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-09-14

lient had been evacuated without se- riOus interference caused much amuse- ment among officers in view of the number of prisoners captured It has been estimated that seven divisions of the enemy were in the salient includ- ing those standing guard at it's Hanks Probably not more than four divisions have at any time been in the depth of the pocket and of these, more than one-fOurth have been captured. Offi- cers say that a retreat effected at such a cost hardly can be considered as a successful evacuation and they are inclined to accept the German statement as promulgated for home consumption It was said that for the high command to acknowledge that the first American blow was plotted out in less than two days a salient that had been held for four years and also cost the Germans more than 12,- 900 prisoners in addition to their dead might further agitate the German civil population
 At the same time, it is not doubted that the German leaders expected the stroke and made such preparations as they could toward getting their main forces out of the salient. The swift ness of the American advance on the Hanks, however, seems to have upset their plans. And 1t is believed that the figures on war material captured will bear out this statement.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-09-14

these probabaly represent the wreck age of at least three enemy divisions. No estimate of the war booty captured had been received.
 Since the new line across the mouth of the old pocket is far shorter than the old front. French and American troops heretofore held fast to the de- fense of the salient now are available for other duty.
 As the lines were reported tonight. there was nothing to indicate that the American advance had stopped. The German official statement said a new line had been prepared but the nature of the country where the American troops stood late today indicated that the German defense position must be further back toward Metz where bet ter natural obstacles are available. IL was expected here that American pa- trols would push forward to feel out this line before a new advance is un- dertaken. <

PRISONERS STREAM IN.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. Sept 13.-)By the Asso- ciated Press )-The prisoners taken by the Americans have come from seven German divisions. among them men from the Landwehr and Land sturm. The Austro-Hungarians made prisoners came from the 192nd. 10th, 77th. 255th and 307th regiments.
 The prisoners asserted that the cas- ualties resulting from the American fire were very heavy. Among the cap tives were numerous officers. who freely criticised the high command for what they termed bad judgment
 All the evidence at hand tends to confirm the belief that the Germans were altogether unprepared Co resist such force as General Pershing sent against them. One division on a cer- tain sector sent out a call for rein forcements. The only response to this appeal was a reply to hold the sector at all costs.
