AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Madison Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none strong
er can be had. When a man comes
forward and testifies to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would
not do so. Telling ones experience
when it is for the public good is an
act of kindness that should be appre.
ciated. The following statement Civ
on by a resident of Madison adds one
more to the many cases of home en-
dorsement which are being published
about Doan's Kidney Pills. Read it.

A POET CALLED
NATIONAL ARMY MEN ARE V1G-
OROUsLY DEFENDED.

Gregory. Oct. 1S.-Elmer e. John
SON, a South Dakota boy who is ar
tached to the headquarters company
of the 355th infantry, which for
some time has been on the fighting
front in France, in a letter to the
home folks defends the national
army men and pays a tribute to what
they r doing in the fighting zone
in France. The defense was brought
out by a poem which was sent to him
from South Dakota, and which cast
reflections on the men of the nation

ably with the regulars. In his let
ter he thus refers to the fighting
qualities of the national army men:

they fought, how those national army

clinging to their guns; where men

parts Of their bodies still chung to
their machine guns-mowing the en-
envy down like grass before a sickle

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
Specially Schooled In Training Camps
For Allied Forward Movement
Crushing of Germany's Omen.

lowed by Drive Of
Allies.

Washington, June 6 - American
troops in training at home are being
especially schooled now in prepare
ton for the forward movement of the
Allied armies expected to follow the
ultimate crushing of Germany's Of
fensive power. 1t was learned today,
that orders have been issued to dlvi-
sion commanders to lay greater stress
upon training for open warfare, and
reduce the time devoted to teaching
french specialties.
The men are being hardened by
long marches, given target practice
without end and thoroughly trained

and take open combat.
Military observers say this change
in the midst of the greatest effort OF
the German general staff of the entire
war speaks significantly of the spirit
If confidence that pervades the coun-
ellis and armies of America and the
allies.
When many of the men now in
training here reach France long
marches and swift maneuverng
against a retreating foe may well be
the order of the day. Influential Of
Gcers returning from the front have
been insisting recently upon greater
attention to general elements of war
fare and less to the fine details Of
POSITION fighting in fixed trench lines.
These officers say the American SOL
d,ers take naturally to training of this
sort and that he should be developed
as highly as possible in all around
soldering, leaving the details OF
trench warfare education to the SOL
der when he reaches France.
This view found ready sympathy
here, for it is believed the old STALL
mate of the trench lines has broken,
never to be restored.
Today's news from the front added
!, the growing conviction here that
General Foch has outgeneraled the
German on the Aisne front and has
brought them to halt without weak
ening the defense of the channel
ports.
Officers who have come from the
front say that the American units

growing stream despite German T.

and mile water haul, are arriving

sugar in this week and in unloading
this precious sweetening, it was found
that one barrel had been bursted open
and part of the sugar split out. AS
each bit has to be accounted for, the

back to gather up the split portion,
some one with a sweet tooth had beat
him to the goods and had neatly
