NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 25
(By The Associated Press (S D. m. D.
From a day Of extraordinarily severe
fighting the Americans emerged to-
night slightly in advance of the posi-
tions they held yesterday.
The gains made are slight, but they
are regarded as extremely important,
especially or the left. where higher
ground dominating much of the sur
rounding terrain has been gained.
(1 D. 1.-THE American troops, de-
spite strong German artillery fire, i'm
proved their positions at three impor-
tant points along the front east and
west of the Mouse during the night.
There has been comparatively little
alteration in the positions on the Gen.
tre, but the American footing in Belleu
Woods, east of the Meuse, was more
securely fixed, notwithstanding the de-
termined efforts of the Germans to
force the Americans back.
Four Counter Attacks
The fighting for positions just be-
yond Beleu Woods began at o'clock
this morning, when the Americans
drove their way forward. At daylight
the Germans counter attacked, and

have launched three other attacks,
equally unsuccessful.
On the extreme left the gains made
by the Americans left them at the close
of the day on the ridge extending from
Talma Farm to Belle Joyeuse Farm, on
line through the Bourgogne Woods.
Despite the desperate resistance of
the Germans and their apparent inten-

Oct. % (By The Associated

Yankee Guns
In West Called
Greatest Made
Naval Artillery Battering
German Railways Most
Destructive Weapon

w WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Details Of
the achievement of the Navy Depart
ment in making available for use on
the Western front the great naval guns
which press dispatches have reported
to be hammering the German railway
centres back of the Disc Serre front
were made public tonight by Secre
tary Daniels.
The naval guns, which have been in
operation since September Is, original
ly were intended for new battle-cruis-
ers, but change in the design of the
vessels left the guns unavailable for
that use. Rear Admiral Earle. chief
of the Navy Bureau of Ordnance, then
recommended that the guns be sent to
the Western front, and he was directed
to proceed with the design and con-
struction.
The guns re manned and operate 4
BY officers and men of the United States
navy, under the command of Rear Ad-
miral Plunkett, former director Of tbs
Office OF gunnery exercises and engi-
neering performance. The first party of
officers and men to handle the guns ar
rived in France June 8. The first shin
ment OF material left this country June
20, and the entire organization was
completed and ready to move to the
battlefront in France late in August
The guns are said to throw a heavier
projectile and have a greater muzzls
velocity than any weapon ever PLACED
on mobile land mounting. The weigh,
OF the explosive used with each pro.
lectile is many times greater than that
used in the freak German long-ranee

Enthusiastically to that effect by

THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shriVeD
up corns OF caIIuses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch l ?!?!! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened cak
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone viii cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the Inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order a small bottle for you. ,
