tempted with bombs and grenades to
overrun the American line, but in
stead of a thrke-ring show, with the
Americans jumping through the loop,
they found. that the Americans had
selected the job of ringmaster as
their very own.
In the short, sharp fight which fol-
lowed, five officers, one of them
major, and twenty-five noncommis-
stoned men gave overwhelming evil
dence that they knew how to lead
and be led. The result was prison
ers, and dead and flying Germans.
Ordered to woodland.
The worst weather of the month
fell when the men were ordered to q
section of woodland to receive their
hard won war crosses. The French
who were to be honored at the same
time, reached the clearing first Then
silently through the mist and rain,
down a pine covered path walked
the American heroes, escorted by
detachment of their comrades.
Very soon afterward the American
officers in command of the division
and the regiment, together with the
French officers, arrived. A blare of
trumpets greeted them. Then, after
a few words of commendation, the
French officers approached the Amer
leans and pinned the medals. Seine
of the young heroes were ready to
turn the other cheek, but to their sur
prise they found themselves being
shaken warmly by the hand
1t was no surprise when the Ameri-
cans at the end OF the ceremony gave
a cheer, and a strong, lusty one, too,
for France and her brave and diplo-
matte officers.

1t helps put vim and renewed energy
into the veins of the weak, run
down." infirm and aged-Often in
ereases their strength in two
weeks time
OF great Importance to the public
generally should be the opinion given
of Euxated Iron by United States
Judge Atkinson. For twenty years
Judge Atkinson has been in the public
service as Judge Of the United States
Court of Claims at Washington, Gov
ernor. Member OF Congress, and United
had vast experience in weighing eVl-
dence: in separating the truth from
the false. Since NuXated Iron, or Fer
Nuxate," as the French call il, has
been introduced into this country, 1t
has taken the people by storm; Drug
gists everywhere are talking about its
immense sale, IL being estimated that
over three million people annually are
using II in this country alone. 1t has
been highly indorsed and prescribed
by weii-known physicians like DR..
Schuyler c. Jaques. formerly visiting
Surgeon St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New
York City. 1t has been used by many
prominent men like Hon. Leslie NJ.
Shaw, former Presidential Cabinet Of
fetal, former United States Senator
and Vice Presidential nominee Charles
A. Towne; former United States Sena-
tors Richard r. Kenney. at present
Asst. Judge Advocate u. S. Army. who
bear unusually strong testimony as TO
its great strength and endurance CIV
ing properties. Former Health Com
missioner VIM r. Kerr. OF Chicago,
says II ought to be prescribed by every
physician and used in every hospital
in this country.
There are thousands OF people who
are nervous, rundown" weak, and
anaemic, Who lack strength and vital
ity and who feel the need of some
thing to build them up and put re-
newed energy into their veins, but
they do not know what to take. 1t IL
therefore valuable to have a man like
Judge Atkinson go into the merits OF
Nuxated Iron, test II on himself, and
then come out frankly and boldly and
tell the people about 1t. Judge Atkin
son says:

.VERT|NG OF LAKE
STRIKE PROBABLE,
HURLEY DECLARES

Aversion of the threatened strike Of
10000 seamen on the Great Lakes ap-
pears probable now. Announcement
was made by the United States Ship
ping Board that all demands Of the
seamen had been met.
The Shipping Boards stand, how
ever, forced the admission from Vic
tor L Olander and Andrew Furuseth,
the seamen's union leaders, that they
had lost control Of their men. Neither
would hazard a guess whether the
walkout would take place Monday
Failed to Sign Appeal.
So far as could be ascertained. the
only question which was left unset
tied to the satisfaction of the seamen
before the union leaders conferred
with Chairman Hurley, was that tho
Lake Carriers Association had failed
to sign the nations appeal for recruit
seamen. Hurley promptly instructed
the carriers officials to comply with
that demand.
Hurley and the labor leaders agreed
upon the plan to place six able sea
men and four recruits on vessels
which ordinarily carried eight sea-
men. This ratio has been in force on
all except lake ships for several
months, and the system OF training,
therefore, is made uniform on all
American waters
The Shipping Board recently abol-
ished the "black list" which was in
vogue among lake steamship owners.
It also has settled all wage differ
ences, and no wage question was In
cluded in the present controversy.
noubt ms In GroundS
Olander and Furuseth stated, how
ever, that they did not know what
grounds the men would employ as
reason for q strike. Hurley will con-
fer this morning with union leaders
and some officials OF the carriers or
ganization-
A strike of the seamen on the
lakes would tie up go per cent of
the food and supplies from west of
the Mississippi river, which is bound
for overseas. Hurley pointed out this
fact to the various union locals in
kilograms sent them last night. He
declared the Shipping Board felt 1t
had the right to depand the CO.
operation of both the owners Of the
lake vessels and the officers and
crews who man them that lake ship
ping might go on unimpaired.

NO MORE KISSES.
WITH WAR CROSSES;
HANDSHAKE LATEST

Diplomats among the marines in
France have eliminated one of the
horrors of being a hero. The an
nouncement was casually made in a
report from marine corps headquar-
ters describing the winning and
award of thirty French war crosses to
members of the American legion,
known to the Germans as devil dogs.
To be blunt about 1t. the news is this:
No longer do French officers kiss on
each cheek an American who has won
the croix de Euerre.. Instead the Of
fcer comforting the honor pins The
bronze decoration to the left breast
pocket Of the hero and then shakes
his right hand.
As yet the official files OF the ma
rine corps have not disclosed the
name of the diplomat who brought
about the change in French tactics IN
dealing with American heroes. 1t IS
understood. however, that he is an
officer of no mean rank, who lateiE
returned to the United States Al
though he does not wear French war
cross his name is enshrined IN the
heart of every marine who has picked
out the spot on his tunic where he
plans to wear the green and red
striped ribbon
First Done In May.
According to the information. at hand.
the first occasion upon which the French
adopted the hand shaking tactics OF the
American as an expression OF esteem
was in May. Just few weeks before
@he occasion. a company OF marines
had been sent in TO relieve detachment
Of their pals. They took over the front
line section and had barely begun to
get their kits into the dugouts when
BAN! along came a stream Of high ex-
plosive shells
1t was more than a mere glad-to-see-
you from the Germans, 1t settled down
into an hour Of horror which might be
compared to a welcome to the inferno.
The general bombardment then changed
into a steady barrage, and the new
corners in the American line knew that
trouble was brewing. The trouble took
form in a selected storm battalion,
known slon gthe front as Hindenburg' s
Circus.
