aviator trained In America to reach

American air service after the United
States entered the war and came to
France and began practice flying last

To Cure Sore Throat.

So many people have been troubled
with sore throats this spring. 1t Is
most unwlse to allow this condition to
progress, since many serious forms Of
sickness start with "just sore throat"
When the throat feels raw, half-hour
gargling periods, using warm salt wa
ter, are advised. This Is an antiseptlc
and removes the irritation. Again

pllcation of hot glycerln rubbed thor

warm flannel gives relief.

s. Smith Mclean, Australian. When
the men Of his patrol were falling oil

get him into cellar. and for six days
he remained there with nothing to
eat but iron rations. Three nights he
attempted to recross the enemy front

eventually rescued by British troops.

The Germans threw in great masses of
reserves in some parts of their lines.
THESE masses included worn out di-
visions who had fought so hard at Ba'
paume and Bullecourt.
Great enemy masses are still coming
up and a great battle must yet bc
fought, but none here doubt the utls
mate result.
The British succf sses in overcoming
deep enemy wire barriers was due to thi
'use of instantaneous fuse shells, and
tanks despite the fact that the tanks
were subjected to a very heavy bonn
bardment by anti-tank guns.
The Canadians went forward along
their entire front barely hesitating ex
ccpt at Buissy switch. There, as well
as in the vicitity Of Dury hill, sunken
road had been filled with German ma
chine guns. These positions held out
until Canadian ieinforcements arrived
when the enemy was swept out.
In the town of Dury a German major
and his staff were captured, while sew
eral battalion commanders were taker
