Our Front in France.

America may seem to us to have ad-
vanced very slowly, as well as reluctant
ly, into the world war, yet to readers Of
history in aftertimes it viii probably APP
pear that this nation leaped into the
struggle almost in line with the first.
For history does not take much account
of a period too short to be reckoned in
years unless il includes something more
striking than diplomatic correspondence.
And though much has been said, not
without reason, of wasted year since
the declaration of war, perhaps some Of
us begin TO think that latterly there has
been swiftness of action which must
have proved surprising TO the enemy. 81.
lently, and secretly our naval squadrons
stole into danger zone 5000 miles
away, so that not many OF us knew that
they had left our shores until their
fighting of German submarines began to
be reported. And after all, our army has
grown to fighting size, and crossed the
ocean, and done brave deeds on the field
OF battle in time that seems very short
as we look back on it.
Just consider that as recently as is
months ago he would have been thought
a wild dreamer who declared that in a
year United States soldiers would land
in France. Yet in half that time they
began to arrive, and now we find them n

present German thrust toward Paris,

Undertakers : The Best Ambulance Service

In French Lorraine our men have more
than held their own at Apremont, and
north of Toul, and in front OF Luneville.
While the infantry has been mainly on
the defensive, with occasional raids on
the enemy trenches, the airmen have
bombed the fortress and railroad station
of Metz, with ammunition depots and
communications between and beyond,
Metz is the big objective in that part
of the country, the Lorraine stronghold
which must be recovered for France,
and we hope that America will have q
hand in its recovery. About $50 miles
! southeast is the Alsaee stronghold,
| Strassburg, and there, too, our soldiers
may have a part in the work of restora-
tion to the French.
1t is particularly gratifying 10 learn
| that the first men to invade territory
uniustly held as German are Americans
In the vicinity of Alt Munsterol and
| Dammerkirch, Just across the frontier
| from the French fortress of Belfort, an
American force has established itself on
! land that has been German since 1870

army that wishes to work its way north,
and if we have strong air force there
it should be able TO reach with ease the
cities of Mulhausen, Colmar, Schlett
stadt and others as far north as Strass-
burg. It is pleasing to see our sol
diers placed where every shot they fire
will be for the righting Of an old wrong.
Gen. Foch may need many Of them else
where, but it would be delightful If, on
our army attaining the needful strength,
he would give America the opportunity
to win Alsace-Lorraine for France

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure catarrhal Deafness, and
that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness Is caused by an infiamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces Of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Circulars
