as often as you should at canton.
ments in Alabama, Louisiana and
Mississippi.
There's a scarcity OF checker
boards, playing cards and dominoes
at four environments in this division
Of the Red Cross.
Many a soldier who has longed to
beat somebody at cards has had to
s.Afle his ambition because he
couldn't get a chance at q deck of
cards. 1t Is the same way about dom
inoes and checkers.
So, the Red Cross is asking people
to send games for the soldiers.
Hunt up all Of those checker
boards, dominoes and decks. OF cards
that are lying idle around the house
and send them in. They'll make
some soldiers happy, as sure as
anything.
Mail the package direct to Harry

of Military Relief, Gulf Division of
the Red Cross, Postoffice Building,

And much obliged!

however, that some plausible inven
tions will be tried out in actual bat
tie and found wanting. or even dis
astrous.
A shining example of how a plausi
BILE scheme gets by sometimes, is used
in action and fails utterly, was the
German infantry attack upon the
French trenches back of Hells Corner
bridge over the User Canal at the
Ypres salient. The bridge, CONTROL.
ed by the French guns, was an import
ant transportation factor-or would
be, the moment it was disable for
either side.
A concerted attack of two divisi-
ons, supported by the heaviest posi-
BILE fire from the German artillery,
succeeded in forcing the bridge.
This, however, meant nothing until
the first two lines of French trenches

Of the canal were taken.
What was left of the two divisions,

Now, in spite of carrying the long
est, sharpest and wickedest bayonet
used by any of the combatants, Fritz
is proverbially a poor bayonet artist.
He lacks initiative and daring in this
branch Of combat. This time though,
he had a new trick to play, a means
of overcoming his handicap.
Shooting as they charged across
the n hundred and twenty-yard
strip, the Boches swarmed into the
first trench. Reserves had been rush
ed to meet them, and it looked like the
direst slaughter. The second the two
lines clashed at parapet and fire step,
a queer thing happened Instead of
fencing and lunging with the bayon-
cts. each Boche projected his bayou
ct like a steel arrow at the breast of
his poilu adversary!
A few of the French were painful
" wounded by this strange attack;
a half dozen or more were killed out
right by lucky hits. but in the main the
bayonets, though coming with the
force of a strong spring. either were

nurses, unless urgently needed, SO
that we can withdraw from civilian
service all whom are eligible for
military service.
We also ask you to encourage grad
yates from high schools and colleges
to become student nurses in hospit-
al training schools and to help such
training schools in every way neces-
sary to enlarge their student body,
especially by helping them to en-
large the housing capacity for stu
dent nurses.
In communities where there are no
registered nurses, we r enrolling
married nurses and graduate nurses
who have not registered in a special
enrolment to help organize the class
es in elementary hygiene and home
care of the sick. These classes are
to help women care for the sick in
their own home, and also to have
young women between Is and IS pre-
pared in case we should have to call
on them to go in the hospitals as
nurses aids. We would have their
names on file and ready for service
should a call come.
We have had no call for colored
nurses, but we are keeping their
names on file so that If a call comes
we will be ready for it.
Trusting that you will carry out the
above instructions promptly, and with
best wishes,
Sincerely yours,

ing parallel and little below, when
Fonck made a quick turn, drove
straight at him and sent him down
within a half mile of the spot where
/ his two comrades hit the earth.
This ended the first engagement.
Several German observation bal
looms had been brought down by
| French aviatorst Lieutenant Fonck
! returned to his camp and waited for
headquarters of an hour for the
! Germans to learn of that fact and
send their chaser planes to the scene
of action. Then he, with two COM
panions, went out to meet them.
Above Montdidier he came upon a
German plane which was regulating
the enemy artillery fire, dived two
thousand feet and sent the German
plane to earth with a few shots.
Taking refuge in cloud Fonck lost
his two companions. Emerging from
the mist to start for his own lines,
Lieutenant Fonck saw before him
four single-seater Pfaiz airplanes,
protected at fifteen hundred feet
above, by five German Albatrosses,
making for the French trenches with
the conveying planes leading. In a
t~en-second flight, Fonck overlook
the rear Pfaiz machine, fired and saw
it fall.
At the sound of his gun the two
Pfaiz machines in the center OF the
German group turned, n to the
right and the other to the left to at
tack the daring F~renchman, but
Fdnck drove his airplane swiftly
ahead, and overlook the fourth Pfaiz
machine. A few shots under its tail
sent it down in flames and the victor
flew off In safety, leaving the two
other Pfaizs and five Albatrosses
wondering what had struck the
squadron.
The air fights were staged from
forty-five hundred to six thousand
feet up. The first German fell at
4:05 p. m. and the last at 6:65 p. m.

Sour Stomach.

This is a mild form of Indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much. or of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If
you win eat slowly. masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper. you will

cine whatever. When you have sour
stomach take one of Chamberlain's

PARIS. June. 19.-Lieutenant Rene
Fonck, the young French ACE OF
aces" fought three distinct battles
in the air when, on May 8, he brought
down six German airplanes in one
day. His record never has been
equalled in aviation.
All three engagements were
fought wsthsn tvao hours. In all,
Fonck fired only fifty shots, an aver
age of little more than nine bullets
for each enemy brought down; an
extraordinary record in view of the
fact that aviattss often fire hundreds
of rounds without Gripping their OPP
ponent.
The first fight in which Lieutenant
Fonck brought down three German
machines, lasted only a minute and
a half and the young Frenchman
fired only twenty-five shots.
Although Lieutenant Fonck is off,
cially credited with bringing down
forty-tWo enemy airplanes in all, mil
itary aviators believe that he has
sent down al least sixty machines.
He is t~Wenty-four years old, is cool
in battle and handles both machine
gun and air planes with great skill.
Fonck was leading two other COM
panions on a patrol in the Moreuil-
Montdidier sector on May s when the
French squadron met three German
~tWo-seater %air-planes coming toward
them in narrow formation. Signaling
to his companions, Lieutenant Fonck
diVed at the leading German plane
and, with a few shots, sent it down
in flames. Fonck turned to the left
and the second Hun followed in an
effort to attack him from behind but
the Frenchman made a quick urn
above him and with five shots sent
the second Hun down to death. Ten
seconds had barely elapsed between
the two victories.
The third Hun headed for home,
but, when Lieutenant Fonck appar-
emily gave up the chase and turned
back towards the French lines, the
German went after him and was fly
