Washington. = The contemptuous
opinion of the Germans for the fight
Ing ability of American troops changes
overnight as shown by the diary or a
German officer who was captured and
taken into American lines by the ma
rines.
The writer of the diary, Reserve
Lieutenant Tillmanns, belonged to the
Second battalion of the Fortieth regi-
ment, Twenty-eighth division. the
fourth division which the marines
had against them in the fighting
around Chateau Thierry. The other
three divisions were so badly cut up
they could not carry out their orders
to attack. Lieutenant Tillmanns wrote:
June AT the Front. American
troops have made counter-attacks. We
have to move to the front again. Route

the evening of the day of the Sth there
was heavy artillery fire. Fortunate
ly the artillery fire did not reach us.

1t Is wonder that the fellows were

repulsed.s God has again mercifully

The dairy ends abruptly here, as
the next day the writer was a pris-
oner in the hands of the Americans.

AN IDAHO CASE,


Mrs. j. w. Webster, 0110 Eighth
St.. Lewiston, Idaho, says:
"Doan's Kidney Pills are most
reliable and they have new
er failed to bring fine results. I
had trouble from my kidneys, of
dropsical nature. Mornings my
hands were swollen so badly I
could hardly close them. and my
feet were swollen. too. The flesh
under my eyes was puffed up and
l had other symptoms of kidney
complaint. Doan's Kidney Pills
fixed me up in good shape"
Mrs. Webster gave the above
statement in 1907 and on June 25,
1917, she added: whenever l find
it necessary to take Doan's they
give the same good results as in
the past"

When you 20 to the store nowadays
10 buy cloth or shoes or bed or
pillow or an automobile tire. you should
not be surprised or disappointed II
you do not find as great variety to
choose from as in the past. The con-
serYation division of the war industries
board is responsible for this eondl-
ton.
This division has reduced already
the number of sizes of automobile
tires from 2S7 to 33 and more are to
be cut from time to time. Over 1000
sizes and types of plows and tillage
implements that can be spared with
out hardship to the farmers have been
eliminated In accordance with the
plans worked out by the conservation
division.
This means that the manufacturers
Will be able to secure economy in pro-
duction and the amount of materials
and capital tied up in the manufac-
turers' and dealers stocks throughout
the country will be greatly reduced.
This program of elimination, moreover,
is making 1t possible for the steel mills
to turn out their product more rapid
ly and thus the production of steel for
ships and munitions Is speeding up.
There will be only 30 styles of metal
beds made hereafter. There will be
only 81 shades of house paint, only 10
kinds of architectural varnish, only
one-fourth as many sizes and kinds of
stoves and furnaces. Similar plans
are being worked out for every indus
try. These plans are all based on
the need of conservation to help sup
ply the men who are In the trenches
and the war Industries board expects
the cooperation of merchants and the
public generally In accepting these re-
auctions in variety The conservation
division says we surely can get along
during the war without all the frills
that we have INDUCED In during peace
times. The purpose Of all these plans
is to help win the war.
The occupation In which Mexican Ia
borers may engage after being admit
ted to the United States under the spe-
cial provisions temporarily modifying
the head tax, literacy test and con-
tract labor provision have been extend
ed by Secretary of Labor Wilson.
The first order permitted Mexican
laborers coming to this country to en-
gage in agricultural pursuits, railroad
maintenance of way and Ignite coal
mining. To this list has been added
mining of all kinds and comomn labor
work in connection with public con
strustion in Texas, New Mexico, Ar
iona and southern California.
To facilitate the admission of Mexi-
can laborers they will be permitted to
enter the United States at all ports of
entry along the Gulf of Mexico and
on the Atlantic coast as far north ms
Charleston, S. c., In addition to the en-
| try ports along the Mexican border.
Encouraging reports are being re
ceived from the border states as to the
effect the influx of Mexican labor Is
having in alleviating local labor short
age. The demand and supply for farm
hands Is about balanced, is the report
and any shortage of labor heretofore
existing has been relieved. Many OF
these new immigrants are cutting cot
ton in the Southwestern states.

The Military Dispatch Riders or
ganization has been developed by the
American expeditionary forces In
France as an additional method for
transmitting communications. 1t Is
picturesque, and has served to knit the
army more closely together by the act
ual physical transmission of official or
ders and communications.
The riders, successors to the old type
of army couriers and brothers in spirit
of the pony express riders of the West
ern plains, are intrusted with the work
of keeping the corps in touch with
the divisions, the divisions with the
brigade, and the brigade with the regi-
important packages of papers that can
not be transmitted promptly and safe
ly in other ways.
Mounted on motorcycles and burden
ed with only pouch or knapsack in
which the papers are carried, the mil
itary riders cover distances of 100
miles in three hours over the smooth
French roads. Each rider Is chosen
carefully for his experiences in driving
motorcycle, his ability to repair his
machine under all conditions and his
coolheadedness and resourcefulness in
emergencies, as his route may take
him over shell-swept roads and the
darkness of night may bring him near
the enemy positions The messages
he carries must be delivered, and dis
lance weather conditions, shelfre or
enemy raids must not stay him in the
completion of his scheduled rounds.
Many of the riders work In pairs
so that when route Is arranged be,
two towns at distance of $50 miles
or threabouts, quarters can be estab-
lished for both mt each town and each
rider alternates in occupying the
quarters that the daily schedule may
be maintained A complete network
of dispatch riders covers the entire
military organization of the American
expeditionary forces, and Is at high
point in its motorization. 1t is strict
ly product of American readiness
and quicllness in adopting all means
that will help the army to act as
fast as it thinks.

Deaf mutes will not be accepted for

sion of military aeronautics. Hum
dreds of young men have been encour.
aged to seek such enlistments by I'M
authorized statements which are be-
ing investigated because of suspicion
that German propaganda might be at
the bottom of the agitation.
The medical research laboratory at
Mineola, L. l., conducted series of
tests to ascertain what effect IL any,
the absence of the delicate balancing
apparatus that exists In normal inner
ears has upon persons who are without
them. The erroneous idea was circu-
lated that since deaf mutes possess
little, if any, sensitivity of the inner
ear they would be little subject to
dizziness and therefore make good
Ayers.
Seven deaf mutes who had never
flown were blindfolded, seated in
planes and told that after reaching a
certain level the pilot would execute
number of evolutions which he, the
passenger, was to record and to make
particular note In which the plane had
been turned to the right or left, up or
down. The flights included stretches
of level flying, climbing left and right
turns, dips and banks.
Being bllndfolded and minus the
equilibrium of balancing organs in
their ears, the deaf mutes failed to
| note changes of even as much as 90 de-
grees. They could not differentiate
the deepest right from the deepest left
banks, nor notice the difference be-
tween climbing or diving in practi-
cally vertical position. They were vir-
tually lost in space.
Members of the medical research lab.
oratory have reported officially that
the less the sensltlvity of individuals
to change of position the less efficient
would these individuals be in the air !;
and that 1t would be ridiculous for
deaf mutes to attempt to fly. 1t has
been determined that one who shows
by the turning chair tests that he has
n normal ear mechanism possesses
good detection of movement in the air,
and that one who fails to pass this
test possesses poor detection of move
ment in the air.
