STORIES OF THE WAR
How the First Americans Were Killed.

How the first Americans were killed CT captured by sthe Germans is a story that has not been fully told. Two ao-
 counts of the fight received at the headquarters of the National War Work Council of the Y M. c. A. throw considerable light on it. A French boy who fought in an ad l.
 joining section with the Americans and who helped to bury James T.
 Gresham, of Evansville, Indiana; Merle Hay. of Glidden. Iowa, and Themas F.. Enright, of Pittsburgh, sent a briei description of the fightrto his godmoth er who gave it to a I'M. c: A. worker in France, Alfred M. Brace, professor of Journalism at the University of North Dakota. At the same time , Chauneey P. Hubert sent descrip tion of the return. of the survivors ot 1 the fight to their quarters in Y M z. A. hut back of the firing line
 ! The French boy says in part:
 "We are now right in the midst ol the Americans, but I assure you we were in a quiet section tiii the mo- nient the Bochss began to get cross and started to attack tfsc Americans to make them prisoners and at the same time attacked us also. | "They killed some and we have had | liLS Aot1Of Ol UuTylHS tile flFSI Amer1- cans who have fallen in France.

 In telling of the. return Of the sur. vivors and drawing a word picture O the village in which they are stationed Mr Hubert, who was visitor, says
 ''The men from this village had jus

THE MAKING OF
II A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where thie
successful remedy Is made impressee
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making Of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
90 extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is ~pasteurized and sealed
In sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and caro- used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine

female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of

DOG A PROBLEM IN ENGLAND
Diminishing Food Supply Makes Ca
nine Industry Difficult One From
War Standpoint.

The British government is wrestling
with the problem of what to do with
dogs, in view of the rapidly diminish
ing stocks Of food. 1t seems settled
that the number Of dogs is to be re-
duced. There are hardly any dog bis
cults left, and no more will be manu-
featured, rs the low grade flour from
which they are made is wanted for the
textile trades.
Bonar Law, Chancellor of the exche-
quer, refused to include q heavy tax
on dogs in his budget, which he in
troduced in the last week of April.
His friends said that such a tax would
kill dog-breeding as an industry, and
would work unequally between rich
and poor. The poor mans dog would
be sacrificed, while the pampered
Pekinese would flourish.
Now the alternative proposal is to
prohibit the breeding Of dogs during
the war except under license. The eff
feet Of this would be to allow the per-
petuation of pedigreed breeds, which
have taken many years and large sums
of money to produce, and also useful
dogs, like sheep dogs and army dogs.
The breeding OF mOngrels and prob
ably of purely fancy dogs would be
prohibited.
There will be no interference with
people who already have dogs. They
will in the future need all their in
genuity to keep pets fed.

MISS KATHERINE KAELREp.
An Effective Curb on GERMANY.


An International Marine association is neither a boycott nor a
discrimination. Rules would apply to all members alike. No trade
war is instituted against the degenerate who RACES markedly in his
own house. He can come into the street and trade anywhere if he
behaves. Even if Prussia evacuates France and Belgium and little
Luxembourg, Poland, Russia, Rumania, Serbia, Montenegro, and
Italy, her word is not good, but internationalized seas would hold her
within moral boundaries. Running amuck would mean that all the
crowd would join in subduing her, every port and coaing station and
cable office would be closed to her.
Does this mean that the strategic passages of the sea, the straits
of Gibraltar, the Suez canal, the Panama canal, the straits at Singa-
pore, the Dardanenes, should be internationalized? They should on
the contrary be strongly fortified and held by the present allies
severally for at least 100 years, until three generations of German
are dead and gone, until treaties are not scraps of paper. The police
force of our cities, while making the streets safe for all, do not give
up control of their police stations. These are held as ralying points
of order. Would the United States dismantle its forts commanding
the narrows and the entrance to Hampton roads9 Not yet. Germany
is not to be trusted even if she should join an international marine
By holding the great sea passages the allies, loyalty joining the
International Marine, must hold the whip over any power quite
capable of building secretly 1000 submarines with which suddenly
to attack her sea %neighbors at some future date. 1t was one thing to
attack in succession Poland, Sweden, Austria, Denmark, France,
Russia and Belgium. 1t would be quite another to antagonize a
whole world, holding the great passages, the coaling and repair
stations everywhere.

BIG DEMAND FOR MAHOGANY
Name Commercially Is Applied to
More Than Fifty Woods-Sub-
stitutes Are Numerous.

The name mahogany" is applied
commercially to more than 80 different
woods, says Popular Science Monthly.
Perhaps half the lumber now sold UNI
der that name in not true mahogany,
for the demand greatly exceeds the
supply.
The tree Is only native to the limited
area between southern Florida and
northern South America. Nowhere else
does it really flourish. But the public
will have mahogany. Women want it
for furniture, business men prefer it
for Office fixtures, and teak and ma
hogany are rivals in the affections of
shipbuilders. Therefore substitutes
flourish.
1t is not surprising that the real
wood is so expensive when it is learned
that it takes from one hundred to
n hundred and fifty years for a ma
hogany tree to reach m~erchantable
size.
Most Of the substitutes bear little
more than a general resemblance to
the genuine wood, but skillful finishing
makes them very much alike. Experts
can usually distinguish between them
by the aid of an ordinary pocket lens.
The efforts Of the superficial, however,
to judge the wood by its appearance,
weight, grain and color often lead
them astray.

You men who work long hours in
the fields under a blazing sun-you've
got to be big eaters, because your food
is your strength. and now, more than
ever, your strength Is badly needed.
So guard your health. Be sur and
watch your stomach, for in the sum-
mer time nearly all illness can be
traced to stomach and bowel COM
plant. You, yourself, know how liza
BILE q man is to sunstroke if he goes
in the hot sun too soon after eating a
hearty midday meal, and also how
liable he is to sudden attacks of stom-
ach miseries. So cool off In the shade
before going back to work. Don't take
chances.
Take care Of your stomach, friend.
You knew you can't work well with
your stomach out of fix. safety first"
must be your motto, s. send to your
druggist and get a big box of EAT
oNIc, enough for yourself and family,
yes, and the hired folks, too. It's
the wonderful new compound for the
quick relief Of stomach and bowel mis-.
cries. 1t was originated by Fl. L. Kra-
mer, the man who made millions of
people happy with his first great rem
edy, Cascarets.
Now, all you need do is to take a
tablet or two Of EAToNlc after your
meals. It's good-just like eating
candy. Enjoy the quick, sure relief
it brings-how almost instantly it re-
lieves indigestion, heartburn, food.

"Franalais" a New Tongue.

From the Fargo On. d. Courier-News
'Franglais" is a new language that you
hear in France today. The word Is made
out Of francais and anglais-the French
words fo- French and English-and the
language itself is mace out Of n fearful
tumble Of words that were perfectly good
when they played by themselves. but
don't always mix.
Franglais is what you hear where
American and English men and women
without a very good knowledge Of their
hosts own speech find themselves at
work alongside of French men and
French women-soldiers, nurses. relief
workers, shopkeepers inc all sorts Of
folks.
American Red Cross workers say that
when you gather up several hundred little
French babies who have hardly begun to
speak any language AT all, and several
hundred hitler ones who are speaking
the universal and universally incompre-
hensible language of babyhood, the re-
suits are one degree harder to under
stand than srownup Frang,als.

JeweIed Sword to March.
From the New York Times.

The city Of Easton, Pa, birthplace of
Gen. Peyton c. March, chief Of staff OF
the army, has presented n jeweled sword
to him. The presentation was made by
Mayor David w. Nevin.
After expressing his appreciation for
the gift, General March told Of some Of
the accomplishments of the war depart
ment during the past few weeks. In
May, he said. more American troops were
taken to Europe than were there when he
left in February. 1t was not only the
man power Of America that was now
mobilized, the general said, but other re-
sources, including the emotional forces of
the country. By-a great wave of patriot
ism. he declared, those-who have sought
to accumulate profit from the war have
been swept aside.
