PARIS. July 2S.-Bombardment of
German positions in the Soissons-
Rheims salient which already has
attained a violence surprising any
thing in the war, is steadily increas-
ing as more allied artillery is
brought forward.
Hundreds OF thousands of shells OF
all calibers are being hurled into all
parts OF the narrowing pocket, where
nearly half a million men of the
crown princes armies are in an in

the Champagne, pressing forward
nearly a mile on a three-mile front

Unofficial reports have also been
received that the encirclement of

CHEAP BUT NOT DESIRABLE
Excellent Reason Why Cinnamon Are
Averse to Calling in the Aid
Of a Physician.

The cost of a Doctors visit in China
ranges from 5 to 10 cents. One would
think that, inasmuch as they are SO
cheap, nobody would be without doc
tors visits in China, but, as fact, the
Chinese get along with as few of them
as possible. The reason is said to be
that the Monaghan doctors use such
abominable medicines. Extracts of all
sorts Of creeping things enter into the
Chinese drug list, and people are
aversc to taking them, except in case
Of extreme necessity.
1t is possible that doctors have pur-
posely provided themselves with these
offensive remedies as means of self
protection. 1t would be very wearing
to be a popular physician at cents
visit; he might run his legs off and
get no sleep. He accordingly makes
himself unpopular throug h the me-
dunn Of medicines decocted of beetles
and grasshoppers and such things.
He prefers simple poverty to poverty
complicated with running about.

MAIL TO SOLDIERS
is OVERBURDENED

the pieces of parcel post and papers
required 1882 sacks. When this mail
was unloaded at French port the let
tiers filled completely one of the small
French cars, which are half the size of
the American mail cars, but the par
cells and papers required train Of 10
cars.
Waits for Days on Cars.
The mail that Is unloaded from the
ships must frequently wait days at
the port before cars can be spared
from the heavily burdened railroads
In France to move the mail.
When the United States army pos
tai service was first inaugurated mail
reached all of the camps in the coun-
try In one. to two days, according to
distance and train connections. Today
mail, by reason of its vast volume and
the heavy demands on the railroads.
frequently takes six days to reach Gen.
eral Pershing's headquarters.
According to report from New
York and Chicago of some of the con-
tents of this parcel post matter to the
troops, 12-hour inspection of the par
Gel post as it was being searched for
inflammables and explosives disclosed,
among other things, 1912 boxes Of
matches, 361 cans Of solidified alcohol,
224 cigar lighters GALL of these of the
greatest menace to the safety of the
ship, 1,248 cakes, 3,S1S packages Of
candies, 1882 bars. of chocolate. be-
sides countless scores of useful, as
well as useless, articles, including
bouquet Of artificial flowers, baby
outfit, and bottle of whisky.
The question this state of affairs
raises is: Why send apples and Or
anges that become bruised in the long
transit and rot in the stuffy holds Of
the ships, when the recreation rooms
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton and other welfare organizations
serve fruit fresh from Italy and Spain,
that takes up no cargo space; why
send cakes and candies and chewing
gum, when the post canteens sell II
varieties of cakes and cookies, fresh
baked in France, at American prices,
or bare shade higher; why try to
send across vast quantities of matches,
which endanger the ship and which is
a penitentiary Offense to place even in
the domestic mails?
Can Buy Same Articles in France.
Two-thirds of the articles found in
a 12-hour inspection tour when work
ing the soldiers parcel post are on
General Pershing's canteen list and
sold in retail quantities to the soldiers
at practically wholesale prices.
The question will have to be ans
wered by the relatives Of the soldiers,
or it will. of military necessity, be
answered drastically by the authori.
