 VIGOR AND NERVE-FORCE

Frederick Kolle. M. D., editor of New York Physicians Who's Who" says: ''Bitro- Phosphate should be prescrib ed by every doctor and used in every hos pital to increase strength and nerve force and to enrich the blood"
 By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements bitro- phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appear ance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing.
 This increase in weight also carries With 1t general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health.
 CAUTION; = Although bitro-p -phos- phate is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness sleeplessness and general weakness. it should not owing to it's remarkable flesh-growing properties. be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh.

 at Head of Big Parade
MILLION PEOPLE
 CHEER PRESIDENT
President Leads Grim Legion of Fighting Men Down Fifth Avenue, "Ayenue of
 the Allies"

New York, October 12 President Wilson, commander i'll chief of the American army and navy, marched today at the head of the American forces in the Columbus-Tiberty Day parade, one of the most impressive and inspiring spec tacles New York has ever seen.
 Under canopy formed by the flags of the P nations arrayed against au- tocracy and with squadrons of American airplanes lowering overhead, the Presi- dent strode with 25.OO9 fighting men from five continents and islands in every sea over the entire three-mile line of march along the Avenue of the Allies" Then. at the foot of Fifth avenue, beside the Washington arch, he took his place in an automobile and reviewed the long column.
 MILLION SEE PARADE
 The spectators, whose number were SstLAdteu at more undn a million, never ceased cheering. From the moment they caught sight of the shining silk hat which proclaimed the approach of the nations chief executive. until they lost sight of it in the distance, the men and women hardly paused for breath. It seemed as if the city had gone mad
 In according MT. Wilson what prob ably was the greatest ovation a Presi- dent of the United States had ever re- ceived, men threw their hats into the air and yelled themselves hoarse, while babies were hoisted on their father S shoulders that they might tell 50 years hence of the day when they saw the President march.
 HIS SECOND MARCH
 It was the second time the President had marched in a parade down Fifth avenue. but when he opened the last Red Cross campaign he headed a great army of mercy, while today he led a grim legion of fighting men, and behind them dragged by motor trucks and trac- tors, great guns wrested from the Ger mans It was stern procession, typi- flying force to the utmost that New York staged on Columbus Day in be- half of the nations Fourth and fight ing loan.
 At the head of the line were detach- ments of fighting men representing g nationalties. Bemedalled heroes of the French Foreign Legion, picturesque Ital- ian Alpini and bersaglieri, veteran An zacs battle-scarred British Tommies Poles and Czecho-Slovaks ready to die for liberty; kilted Greeks and doughty Serbs, gallant Belgians and swathy Spanish-Americans in uniforms which

 WOMEN IN LINE
 Behind the foreign divisions marched women war workers-Red Cross nurses, ambulance drivers, munition-makers, policewomen and "farmerettes' Next in line were the American military and naval forces, led by the commander in chief of more than 5000, 900 bayonets, for although it was expected that the Presi- dent would take his place at the very head of the column, it seemed, that he preferred to march directly in front of his own nations fighting men.
 And a rugged force it was-regiment after regiment of infantry, artillery and engineers, with attachments from all the other branches which go to make up an army followed by thousands of blue jackets from Americas fleets. With the army and navy divisions marched 5000 stevedores and thousands of others en- gagged in the army transport service
 The foreign veterans who preceded them had been cheered until it seemed that the crowd must have reached its vocal limit, but when Pershings vet erans-soldiers and marines-the youth ful heroes who had fought and bled at Chateau Thierry and Belleau wood to help save Paris from the Huns appeared, the crowd went wild with enthusiasm.

Retirement From West of Doui to Lines in the Rear Is Also Announced in
 Official Statement

Berlin, Oct F. via London.-South Of the chemin des Danes, the general staff announces.
 The statement reads:
 From positions to the west of Douai we retired to lines in the rear. The en- emy followed slowly and in the evening occupied the line, Vendin- Le- Vieil, liar nes, Menin-Lietard and last of the Beau mont Bredieres railway.
 Northeast of Cambrai the enemy at- tackled between the Scheldt river and St vaast. The object of the attack. which was launched here on narrow front by British divisions, was to break through to Vaienciennes. The intention was frustrated.
 The enemy succeeded in only obtain ing footing at Iwuy and on the heights to the east and southeast. Oul counter attacks, effectively supported by tanks brought the enemy's assault here to a standstill. On the rest of this from we repulsed the enemy from our lines and inflicted losses on his dense at tacking waves.
 Violent partial attacks by British American and Trench divisions on botf sides of Bohain were repulsed in from of our positions. There have been recon noitering engagements on the river Disc
 South of Laon we have evacuated tht Chemin- des- Danes.
 Tn the bend of the river Aisne be- tween Berry -Au-Bac and south of You ziers, we have occupied new positions Our movements which commenced sev' eral days ago, remained concealed from the enemy and were carried out accord ing to plan.
 Tn the Champagne the enemy followed us with caution. The victorious issue of the great battle of Champagne, whicf the army of General Von Ainem, witt relatively weak forces obtained over the immensely superior strength of th French and American armies in th' fortnights struggle, and the exhaustion of the enemy owing to his exceptionally heavy losses, rendered possible th' smooth execution of different move ments.
 Partial engagements on both sides O the Aire and violent attacks which tht enemy launched during the last few days in the battle sectors on both sides ol the Mouse broke down with heavy losses for the enemy.

 As the third round began, went at Jeff on the jump and swung left to his face, but he tucked. Then I tried another left which landed. Imme- diately Jeff bored in at me and backed away from him. Jeff tried to reach me with long left and then vicious right, but both punches short. I kept dancing around just 0 of Jeffs reach.
 After about 30 seconds of action Jeff, still rushing me, left nice opening So I stopped going away and jumped in at him, landing twice on the face without return. l sidestepped rush by Jeff and then landed twice to the face with lefts and once to the stom- ach with a right Jeff tried left for the head, but it missed.

 Back in the center of the ring a rallyg followed. Each of us landed three or four times. Then came a clineh, followed by open fighting. drove left to Jeffs head, it landed and seemed to hurt him. In fury Jeff swept toward me and I went back to the ropes. Before I could dance away, Jeff was upon me and caught me in the stomach with wallop that carried every ounce of his body be- hind it.
 As the punch landed, it shook me from head to heels. No man ever hit me in the stomach with a terrific power that Jim Jeffries put into the blow that night. Bob Fitzsimm ons won the title from me with a solar plexus punch, but it was blow that did not cause me any great agony It merely knocked the wind out of me and brought to me a checking sensa- ton such as always follows when a man has lost his wind. Fifteen seo- onds after Fitz hit me I was as good as new again.
 But the effects of that Jeffries blow lasted long, long time
 Just about one second after that blow hit my legs seemed to lose all the power that was in them; they didn't seem able to bear up the weight of my body. A feeling of great nausea came over me and everything got black before my eyes.

MAY AID RAILROADS
Proposals 10 Make Use of Inland Wa
teryxays WIN Re Presented to
Congress Soon.

Washington, Jan. Legislation
looking TO the immediate utilization
OF the inland waterways of the coun-
try. to assist in the war transportation,
will be submitted to congress within
the next fortnight.
Secretary OF War Baker Ia now at
work completing draft of recommeH-
dations decided upon after confer
enees with members OF the shipping
board and the army engineers. 1t is
planned to ask for 100000 for
the construction OF a great fleet of
barEes to be used on the canals and
rivers to supplement the rail trans-
portation.
Chairman Edward N Hurley OF
the shipping board. has requested
Charles A. Piez. of the Emergency
Fleet corporation, to give the problem
his aid. and Senator Reed already has
named the figure for the appropria-
ton. Investigations of the possihili-
ties of the rivers and canals already
have been made by the corps of en-
gineers, OF which General William NJ.
Black is in charge. and report has
been submitted TO the war depart
ment. This has been approved by the
secretary of war.
President Wilson already has d.
rected the appropriation of money for
the construction of vessels for the
upper Mississippi; but. aside from
this there has been little progress. It
is pointed out that the presidents
proclamation does not give Director
General McAdoo clear and complete
authority over the waterways for CO.
ordination. and le of the phases OF
the proposed legislation will make this
clear.
Barges and other vessels for use on
the rivers or canals can be built speed
lily. 1t Is said by army engineers. They
can be made ready easily for the
coming season. IN New York state
at present a few private builders are
at WORK. but they have been going
slow, partly because OF their inability
to get labor.
The greatest need. 1t is held, liz for
large numbers OF tugs to move the
barges. The government has COM
mandeered the greatest number of
available tugs. Some have been sent
across the ocean and OTHERS are used
In coastwise work. With a large feet
of tugs. there are scores of vessels in

An alarm of fire last night at 10:&2
o clock from Harrison and Leigh
streets, Was caused by the burning of
a row of six three-room frame dwell
ings on Boyd street between Harri-
con and Norton, occupied by colored
people. All the houses were badly
de mayed The occupants saved their
belongings, and the homeless ones
we're taken in by neighbors. II was
estimated by Chief w. II. Joynos that
the damage would amount to about
$500
While this fire was in progress an
alarm was turned in from Ninth and
Main streets. which however. proved
81 no consequences, This latter alarm
created some CONSERVATION in the fire
department az IL came FROM the CEN
ter of the financial and business sec
ton. Most Of the available equipment
was in attendance at. the uptown fire,
and he'd the second proven a serious
alarm. unhappy consequences might
have followed
