CRITICISM OF
A "FAT" STORY

We were criticized for telling fat people
to tender" seventy five cents to their
druggists for a large case of Marmola
Tablets. Several wrote in saying the use
OF the word tender was incorrect, that
"tender" in sucE connection raised the
impression the druggist might refuse sew
enty- five cents as insufficient.
Now, isn't that odd? A few weeks ago
seventy-five cents was rendered" to q
Broadway druggist and he did refuse it
That is, he said he hu- no Marmola Tab
lets, whereas he did have seven cases.
But the wholesale house was closed, it
being on a Saturday. and he had to pre-
varicate to protect his regular customers,
who absorbed those seven cases later in
the day.
This elegant pharmaceutical adaptation
of that famous, fashionable fat reducer.

300 PLANES IN BATTLE
British Writer Praises Fighting Abilit,
of American Aviators.

London, April 5.-A tribute to
American aviators with the British
army in France who are numerous
and always brilliant" is paid by the
correspondent of the Daily News. He
says that American aviation machines
also have rendered splendid aid.
Describing the air fighting on the
western front, the correspondent says
that never before in any army have
airplanes been used in such great con-
centration. On one sector of the bat
tie front as many as three hundred
machines are in the air at one time.
The use of machine guns on enemy
troops, guns and transports by low
flying machines. he adds. has been
carried to point far beyond anything
il previous experience.

Canal Builder Revamps Army
Quartermaster Division.
Can Equip 100000 Men in
France This Year.
HE HAS. WORKED WONDERS
Meanwhile Builds Up Surplus
for Newly Drafted Men.
Can Equip 100000 or More i'm
Home Camps This Year.

Washington. April 5-The quarter
master service is set to supply all
needs of the American army under
the FASTENED movement plan.
Plans and preparations of Acting
QuartermaSteF General Goethals and
his aides are such that the 100000
or more men expected in France this
year can be equipped and maintained
while the department builds up a
surplus for the men to be drafted.
Goethals slicing of red tape and in
fusion of new blood into the quarter
master service has worked wonders
in the SUPPLY situation, experts said
today. AS a result, the food and equip
ment problem is satisfactory.
Furnish Men in Field First.
1t is possible. however, that a GER
tain amount of equipment and sup
plies can be obtained from the British
and French under the new brigading
plan and thus relieve the service here
to a small extent, if need presses.
The expeditionary force is the quar-
termaster's first consideration. This
means that a vast stream of goods
must be kept flowing abroad, for the
initial supply of clothing, rifles and
shoes is the simplest part of the whole
problem. Considering the wastage in
both ordnance and equipment, the
task is enormous and quartermaster
officials believe that it is such as to
permit of adding only about 100000
extra men here this year.
If, however, the governing powers
rule that the 100000 men contem-
plated by the second draft-or more
shall be called, the quartermaster
service intends to find ways of meet
ing their needs.
Confident About West Front.
Army men still looked confidently
upon the west front situation despite
renewed German gains. They still
looked to the allies to make an Of
fensive, saying their delay is probably
due to a desire to get the maximum
reserve strength ready. On the Other
hand, some entertained the thought
that the original German smash had
disorganized the British considerably
and had prevented them from avail
ing themselves of the reserves for ar
effective comeback Immediately.

in wood. In the forenoon we went for

On the 18th of December we were cleo
trified by the cry of sails on the port

were ten in all. After an exchange of

quoted down. They were a sight to see

They rode the waves like lot of corks
and had knots to spare in speed.
The evening of the 9th unmistakable
signs Of land were to be seen. There
were low heavy black clouds to be seen

told us that they never flew far from
land and the next day the sea took on a
bottle green color. That day at noon
we saw land! How that word went
home to me. Soon we We're passing a
group of little islands and fishing boats
