Hundreds Of Thousands Of

Paris, July 29.-French and Ameri-
can artillery is subjecting the entire
Soissons-Rheims salient, within which
100000 Germans are concentrated, to
the most terrific bombardment Of the
war. H~U
Hundreds Of thousands Of shells Of
all calibers are being hurled upon
troop concentrations, ammunition and
supply depots, and lines of communi-
cation from the battlefront to the rear
most areas.
Concentration Camp shelIed.
This deluge of fire and steel is being
directed particularly at Fere en- Tar
denois, the important German concen-
tration center, which is now almost
within grasp Of the Franco-American
troops.

Rules for House Painting.

A widespread movement to preserve
national and private property has
aroused great interest in the materials
which will assist in such preservation.
Paint is by far the most important
agency in the protection Of exterior
surfaces against deterioration through
heat and moisture. Paint means col
or; and just as the degree of protec-
tinn produced through paint varies ac-
colding to the quality of that material
itself, so the effect Of colors produced
with paint depends greatly upon the
character of the different hues in Which
the various kinds of paints are manu-
factured. Pure or bright colOrs have
their place, while grayed neutral coiors
are often necessary to assist In produc-
ing the right appearance; but the in
tense or dull dead colOrs should al
ways be avoided in exterior painting

Washington, d. C.-With the subsld-
ence of the epidemic Of influenza the
attention OF health officers is directed
to pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases of the respiratory system
which regularly cause large number
of deaths, especially during the winter
season. According to Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General Of the United States
Public Health Service, these diseases
will be especially prevalent this win
ter unless the people are particularly
careful to obey health instructions.

geon General Blue, has taught by bit
ter experience how readily condition

Although the worst of the epidemic is
over, there will continue to be a large
number of scattered cases, many OF
them mild and unrecognized, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against" The Surgeon General llkened
the present situation to that arter

understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the flames and visible fire have dis
appeared On the contrary, he con-
tinues the water for hours and even

"Then you fear another outbreak OF
influenza?" he was asked. "Not neces-

Common Colds Highly Catching.

"It Is encouraging to observe that
people are beginning to learn that or
binary coughs and colds are highly
catching and are spread from person
to person by means Of droplets OF
germ laden mucus. Such droplets are
sprayed into the air when careless or
ignorant people cough or sneeze with
out covering their mouth and nose. 1t
is also good to know that people have
learned something about the value Of
fresh air. In summer, wren people
are largely out Of doors, the respiru-
tory diseases Coughs, colds, pneumo-
MIA, etc.) are infrequent; in the fall,
as people begin to remain indoors, the
respiratory diseases increase; Fl the
winter, when people are prone to stay
in badly ventilated, overheated rooms,
the respiratory diseases become very
prevalent.

CIynes Says There is NJ Such
Thinus as German Conscience

London, Aug l6.AThe military ma
chine of Germany, the aggressor in
the war. now is badly battered and
the autocratic designs of Prussian
militarism are held in the grip of al
lied armes representing the demo-
cratic nations of the world, said John
X. Clynes, food minister, at the first
annual conference of the National
Federation Of General Workers, OF
which he is president. in London to-
day. Labor must fight for the princi-
pie and spirit of democracy or sur
render to the kaisers notion of rule
by divine" right, claimed for his
throne. Mr.. Clynes said he had never
believed in any claim for or appeal to
what has been called the German
moral conscience.
Negotiations for peace are impos-
sible until unmistakable signs are
given by Germany that the principles
for which labor is fighting are to take
the place OF autocracy in force. Only
the German people, he said, could
destroy kaiserism and Prussian mill
tarism, but the, speaker believed that
the allied armies had to fight on to
convince the German people that they
must do it themselves.
