pianist they have ever had. Those
who have heard her say she is the
equal to Prof. Roper who played at

here last fall. As Mr.. Dodds has sung
with her before it goes without say
ing~that the music will move right
off with enthusiasm from the start.
The first Sunday comes that great
Cincinnati preacher, DR.. d. Lee Alt

Washington Troop shipments to
swell the great American army in
France will go on, undiminished and
unafraid despite Germany's second
U-boat coasts raid now under way.
The War Department intends to
keep at its accelerated program and
the navy Department is ready to af-
ford the needed protection This is is
the answer to the new German eff
fort to shake American morale and
disturb military shipping.
Re-appearance of a German U-boat
with its sinking of four coal barges
and a tug off the Cape Cod shoals
Sunday came as no surprise to well
posted naval authorities.
Sinking of the coal barges natural
ly linked with the destruction of the
cruiser San Diego last week. But
there was still belief that mines laid
by this or an accompanying subma-
rine were responsible for the San
Diego sinking.
The German has brought "Schre-
klichkiet" to America and has drop
ped the mask of courtesy and care
with which the first raiders sought to
deceive the nation and to influence
pan-American opinion into disbeliev-
ing stories of Teuton frightfulness.

ANAEMIA AND POOR BLOOD
How Mrs. Burnelrs Daughter Re-
covered

Drewsville, N. H.-"My daughter
was anaemic, had poor blood and ST.
fered from indigestion and bilious at
lacks. AS Vinol had built up my
son some time ago, | gave it to my
daughter,--she soon improved in
health, and it has built her up and re-
stored her health. Mrs. n. Burnell.
The reason Vinol was so success
full in Miss Burnell's case is because
it contains beef and cod liver pep
tones, iron and manganese pepton-
ates and glycerophosphates, the very
elements needed to build up weak
encd, rundown system, make rich
red blood and create strength.

chaser of American tobacco in the
manufactured state

ing April, 1918, was 17,97S,S4S pounds

 "Kerensky told me that Russia is like a strong man recovering from sickness. She is healthier than be- lore. All she needs is assistance from the outside. She does not want inter ference in her internal affairs. That problem she will solve in her own way. It is economic and financial aid that she needs.
 "Kerensky is not a social revOlu- tionary." he added. He is a citizen Of Russia and appeals to all intelligent Russians everywhere in behals or the fatherland He especally welcomes American aid because he knows It will be disinterested and not the re suit of political ambitions.
 He dislikes the use Of the term intervention as applied to Russia. He prefers to term it 'assistance' because he does not believe that Russia has gone out Of the war.
 He contends that the Russian front still exists that it has been merely pushed back by the Germans and Aus trians and will be restored"

Two members of a German hospital corps were captured.
 Machine gun supplements. which were hidden behind the rocks, were charged and captured. while a group Of several Americans captured one ma chine gun and twenty Germans in shell hole.
