Americans Take Important
Hill.

With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Saturday, Oct. D
(By the Associated Press).-der-
man forces fought with might and
main to save Hill 24C from falling
into the hands of the Americans on
Friday. Even when the Americans
commanded the east, west and south
slopes of the height, the enemy at
tempted to send up reinforcements
from the north.
This hill is an important observa-
ton point commanding positions Tor
miles over the plateau west OF the
Meuse. It is shaped like an inverted
cup. On the whole north slope were
the German artillery enplacements,
the hill being honeycombed with
dugouts. This area resembles an In
dian village of Arizona. Each dugout

THE EDGEFIELD ADvERT1s Err
German Offer of Peace An
nounced by Emperor.

Bedlin, via Basic, Oct. 6.-Em-
peror William today issued a proc
lamation to the German army and
navy, in which, after announcing
that the Macedonian front had crum-
|.bled, he declared that he had decided
in accord with his allies, to again
offer peace to the enemy.
The text of the emperor's procla-
nation reads:
"For months past the enemy with
enormous exertions and almost with
out pause in the fighting has stormed
against your lines. In weeks of strug-
giles, often without repose, you have
had to p~ersevere and resist a num-
erically far superior enemy. Therein
lies the greatness of the task which
has been set for you and which you
are fulfilling. Troops of all the Ger
man States are doing their part and
h~eroically defending the fatherland
on foreign soil. Hard is the task.
"My navy is holding it's own
against the united enemy naval fore
es and is unwaveringly supporting
the army in its difficult struggle.
"The eyes of those at home rest
with pride and admiration on the
deeds of the army and navy. l eX-
press to you the thanks of myself
and the %fatherland.
"The collapse of the Macedonian
front has occurred in the midst of
the hardest struggle. In accord with
our allies, ] have resolved once more
to offer peace to the enemy, but |
will only extend my hand for an hon
orable peace. We owe that to the he
roes who have laid down their lives
for the fatherland and we make that
our duty to our children.
whether arms will be lowered is
a question. Until then we must not
slacken. We must, as hitherto, exert
all our strength unwearily to hold
our ground against the onslaughht
of our enemies.
"The hour is grave, but, trusting
in your strength and in Gods help,
feel ourselves to be strong enough
to defend our beloved fatherland.
(Signed) wilhelm"

Death of MIR. Herbert l.. Bunch
Of Meriwether Township.

"Now lettest thou thy servant de-
part in. peace, for mine eyes have
seen thy salvation," and thus depart
ed our friend. With deep grief and
true sorrow it. is that we announce
the death of our beloved and honor
ed friend, Mr.. H. L. Bunch.
We grieve for ourselves, for his
aged and sanity mother, his noble
and faithful sister, the two brothers
and all of his hosts of friends, but
not for him--the sainted dead.
We regret deeply that the commu-
nifty should lose so noble, so sainted,
so useful a man. He will be missed
in the home, the county and in his
church.
He sang for many years in the
different churches and his voice was
heard at many funerals. What COM
fort he gave this writer at her faith
er's funeral when he lifted his voice
to Heaven in solemn song. But that
sweet voice is stilled, tits the lost
chord" no more to be heard on this
earth.
MIR. Bunch was ill only a short
while and all that the kind physl-
clans, his family and friends could
do was of no avail. He fell asleep on
Tuesday morning, September "a. The
funeral services were conducted at
the home Wednesday morning by his
pastor, Rev. P. B. Lanham and his
body was inferred in the family bur-
|ial ground near the home.
MAY Gods mercy help the bereav-
ed ones on their way. We beg to sym
pathize with them in the truest and
deepest manner.
80 Father of our spirits,
We can but look to Thee;
Though chastened, not %forsaken,
Shall we Thy children be.
We take the cup of sorrow
AS did Thy blessed SON
Teach US to say, with j esus,
Thy will, not ours, be done!

those of public interest, and possess

by earthworks strengthened with
great wooden and steel props.
On the summit of the hills and
among the cutters of shell spattered
Lstone farm houses were nests of ma
chine guns. On the southern slope,
the Germans erected a steel tower in
which they had installed. powerful
telescopes. The tower was used when
the instruments could not be used on
the ground during heavy artillery
fire.
Throughout Friday the Americans
fought for the possession of the hill,
the last German machine gunners not
Isurrendering until toward evening.
AS the Americans advanced towards
the height they divided their force so
that they thanked it on both sides.
After clearing the Boyon wood the
Americans pressed on despite tor
rents of machine gun bullets that
were turned against them by the con-
cealed enemy. Several times the Am
orleans thought the last German had
been accounted for when the ma
chine gun fire would be reopened.
Then the American artillery was call
ed upon and the summit and sides of
the hill were subjected to an intense
bombardment. American riflemen and
machine gunners from positions to
the west, south and east, aided mate
rally in the fighting until at last the
last German fled over the top of the
hill. During the battle German am
munition wagons attempted to reach
the enemy forces but were caught by
rifle fire, many horses and drivers be-
ing killed and the rest compelled to
retreat. German machine gunners
tried to protect the wagons, but they
were smothered by the American fire.
Americans who were in the fight
assert that on one occasion the Ger
mans on top of the hill raised the
white flag, but when the Americans
started forward, the enemy's guns
reopened fire. The Americans fell
back and a redoubled rifle and artil-
lery fire was opened on the position
of the enemy. Soon afterwards Hill
24O fell to the Americans.

Often backache is the clue.

If attention is not paid
More distress will soon appear.
Headaches, dizzy spells and nerves,
Uric acid and its Ills
Make the burdens worse and worse.

Reach the inward cause at all;

II tried doctor after doctor-with
no relief. It was the same old story,
oft repeated-different doctors with
different remedies, often nauseating,
which left me really worse off than
before. Then, one day, an old parish
Toner friend told me of Acid Iron
Mineral. And | am now so grateful
that / want all suffering humanity to
know Of this wonderful natural iron
All | can say Isl God answered my
prayer"
This is but one of many thousands
of similar letters received during the
past thirty years from doctors, cler-
gymen, lawyers, pharmacists and lay
men who have first known peace and
happiness after taking Aim. And
the best of it is that the patient takes
no risk, financial or physical, in TAX
ing this marvellous organic iron, for
it does not discoIor the teeth, as do
other irons; and it aids, instead Of
detracts, in all forms of indigestion.
Statistics show that it benefits over
ninety-four per cent of those who
use it. The proprietors can well af-
ford to unqualifedly guarantee it to
all, and accept the losses Of the mi
mute few it fails to relieve of all suf-
fering. Therefore, all druggists have
been instructed to refund its pur-
chase price if, after taking the first
bottle the patient does not feel vig-
orous, hearty and hale-or so much
better that he insists on continuing
it's use.
Acid Iron Mineral not only thins
the blood, but strengthens and invigo-
rates it. For those who suffer from
the effects of thickened, heavy blood,
coagulated and polluted with the
waste matter of the winters accumu-
lation, Aim stands without peer;
for it not only thins and purifies the
blood, but carries the various i'm
purities out of the systematically
and effectively. AS a general "spring
tonic" and as a prompt relief for that
tired feeling" and rundown condi-
ton so prevalent at this season, it re-
mains the only natural, non-corrosive
fully assimilable and digestible iron
known to medical science.
Therefore, reject all spurious imi-
tations, which proft-seeking druggists
try to thrust upon you, and demand
the original Acid Iron Mineral.
Acid Iron Mineral is on sale by all
progressive druggists in the United
States, Canada and Great Britain.
