Above all, il is pointed out, he is an
inspiration to his people. His deeds dur
ing the war are known to all the world,
but few outside italy realize that he has
been the greatest public orator Of his
country since the war began. His
speeches are full of prose music, and the
message which he. dropped over Vienna
was written as only poet and a soldier
could write.
D'Annunzio as a squadron leader Is
said to be not only fearless, but untiring,

RECKLESS AT FRONT.
King Albert of Belgium and Premier
Clemenceau.

London, Oct. o. Correspondence of
the Associated Press King Albert OF
Belgium and Premier Clemenceau of
France were apparently so Indifferent TO
shell fire to which they were exposed
while the premier was visiting the Bel
gian front recently as to arouse the adj
miration OF the Belgian soldiers.
One Of them describes the incident
thus:
"The scene is laid among the ruins of
part Of the Belgian front daily shat
tered by shells, bombs, or aerial torpe
does. In the street parallel to the church
a little group of persons are walking. A
tall Khaki figure seems to be guiding
a civilian and some French soldiers. 1t
is a Belgian general wandering leisurelv
up and down answering questions and
giving explanations to his guests. From
our dug-out we soldiers watch with curl.
osity
Suddenly a whistle, an explosion and
a burst of smoke but thirty yards from
the visitors. Not one of them took any
notice, Another 1t falls quite near.
The Belgian general the civilian and
their suite have not turned their heads
merely continue their walk as slowly
as before, While the fire continues, the
visitors are getting nearer our dug out
and we stand at attention.

INFLUENZA LEAVES

Grip Victims Need Tonic.
The debility that invariably follows
the grip is not disease of any one or
gan. It is general condition of unfit
ness. It must be met by remedy whose
good results viii be quickly generalized
throughout the entire system. In fact,
it must be corrected by building up the
blood which, when rich and red, carries
renewed health and strength to every
part of the body.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are a tonic,
not stimulant They build up the blood
and have transformed thousands of sick,
grouchy, irritable, tired and nervous peo-
pie into active, energetic, capable, etfi-
eient men and women.
Our booklet Building Up the Blood"
contains chapter on after effects of the
grip which win interest every one who
has been victim of the epidemic. A

Doctors have agreed that Spanish in
fluenza is really severe form of the
grip which became known in this coun-
try number Of years ago under the
French name Of ia grippe" and which
has been epidemic several times since.
The danger from grip is seldom over
when the Characteristic symptoms, the
fever, the catarrh, the headache and the
depression Of spirits pass away. The
grip leaves behind it weakened vital pow
ers, thin blood, impaired digestion and
oyersensitive nerves - condition that
makes the system an easy prey to pneu-
monia, bronchitis. rheumatism, nervous
prostration and even consumption. Too
much stress cannot be laid on the impor-
lance of strengthening the blood and
nerves during convalescence,
Until the blood is built up there can be
no complete recovery Of strength and
health. In fact, the thin. blood often re-
suits in a lack Of nutrition of the nerves
that produces d form of nervous trouble
called by medical writers post grippal
neurasthenia," or neurasthenia following
an attack Of the grip. Such a condition
is described by Mrs. Henry H. Miller Of

personal friend and adviser Of President
Wilson, has arrived in France, according
to Paris dispatch to the Times.
Washington, d. c., Oct. 25-Colonel
House, President Wilson's confidential
adviser, was sent to Europe as the per-
sonal representative of the president on
an official mission This announcement
is authorized officially but further infor.
nation is withheld.
1t is understood, however, that the Wis
it of Colonel House to Europe at this
time is connected with Germany's plea
for an armistice and peace, which now is
before the allied governments for de-
cision. Colonel House very probably is
authorized to represent the president in
discussions with the representatives of
the allied governments.
The fact that Colonel House left for
Europe several days before President
Wilson's final reply TO Germany was dis
patched is further proof that every step
Of the presidents negotiations with Ger
many has been taken in full accord with
the entente governments. It.also is TAX

the German plea to the allies under GER

The reason this famous root and herb
remedy, Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, was SO successful in Miss
Kelly's case was because it went to the
root Of her trouble, restored her to a
normal healthy condition and as aresult
her nervousness disappeared.

observatory, which gave surprising
view Of the country for miles around.
Everything was confusion. Uniform,
rifles, pots, dishes, books and all kinds of
military paraphernalia were heaped about
everywhere, indicating that the Germans
had fled in great haste.
That the Germans expected to occupy
this territory for a long time is shown
by the character Of their trenches In
many cases these were of concrete and
equipped with almost as many conve-
niences as a dwelling house. Some of
them had running water, telephone COM
munieation, heating stoves and piped
drainage.
