OPERATION NEEDED
TO FIGHT COMMON FOE
Must Have Better Understand.
ing Between Washington and
London, Says U. S. Official
BY CHARLES H. CRASTY
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger

Copyright, 1918. bv Nc,o York Times Co.
London. July IS.
Commenting on the lack Of co-ordina-
ticn between Washington and London.
and particularly the need Of recasting
the arrangement for replacement OF
American troops. one of the best in
formed American officials said:
THE question is not one of whether
one country is doing too much or another
too little. We haven't time now for COM
parisons of this kind. For the duration
of the war we should think in terms Of
alliance instead of separate allies. The
President aptly said that we are all eat
ing at the common table. Likewise we
are turning out ships from common ship
yards. We are getting coal from com.
mon mines. We are fighting Germany
with a common army. There is abso-
lutely no difference between the good
American and good British soldiers, and
yet how are these matters being treated
England promises to replace the bri.
gaded American soldiers. Conditions
change and make the carrying cut of th
| original program highly inadvisable, anc
yet England goes on with the execution
of her out-worn promise as II she, wer
dumb and America deaf and both wer
blind.
ITO illustrate what happens in tn
concrete. I will give you a single In
stance. A few weeks age England neede
800 riveters to finish rush job. Sh
couldn't get on without them. She aske
America to send them. After investiga
ton Washington asked how man
English riveters had been combed GU
for the army. Downing street gave $50
as the number, and Washington promptl
suggested calling back the riveters fror
| France and 500 were called back.
Can any greater folly be imagine
than turning skilled riveters into gree
soldiers? If there were any way
arrive at the facts 1t would probably
shown that one rveter was more valu
able in practical results in a sffipyar
than ten riveters in the army in France
Then why such uneconomic procedure?
well they said they would replac
Americans. and the promise must
kept II they laid down on 1t it Nigh
cause unpleasant comment. Such con
siderations as these should be dispose
CT by closer counsel between the Allie.
The waste and lost motion through eac
ally playing the game singly are tire
mendous."

Miss Edna Walker of High street
received the following letter from
her cousin. Edward r. Gray. who is
a wagner in the Evacuation Am
bulance Co. No. 8. Medical Depart
ment:
Sept. 90. 1918.
Dear Cousin Edna:-As have now
been In France about a week ]
thought I would endeavor to give
you my first impressions Of this
country. OF course everything is
much different than in America, by
that I mean older and more out OF
date. The buildings are made either
Of stone or cement, wood only be-
ing used for the doors and shutters.
The railroad cars and engines are
much smaller and less powerful than
ours and Of course travel much slow
er. They still use the hand brake to
stop the cars. A train resembles to
certain extent the toy engines and
cars one buys at Christmas time.
They seem to prefer the high wheels
for some reason or other.
The farmers. stack all their hay. in
their yards in great piles. They
don't seem to bother having a barn,
because possibly of the high cost OF
building, the horses being kept in
a leanto ON some side Of the house
in which they live. The horses and
cattle are fat and slick and at all
times treated with respect, almost
as one Of tho family. I was surprised
to see so many cattle in the fields. I
had supposed being at war so long
that they would be about all used
I'D as beasts for the army. The peo-
pie and the different towns that we
passed through gave one an impress
sion of poverty. There are no extras
or luXuries The stores are very small.
The trolley cars are smaller even
than the first cars that We had made
years and years ago.
These observations are made from
two or three small cities in which
I have been and may he entirely
wrong, as I approach the larger
cities things may appear different
There is one thing that impressed
me particularly, even while l was
still on board ship in the harbor. and
that is the amount Of work that the
u. s. Army is doing and has done in
France. All that one sees is store
house after store house and supplies
of all kinds. The camps cover acres
and acres Of ground and everywhere
YOU go are soldiers, thousands OF
them.
When that next Liberty Loan
drive comes around tell your friends
not to ask questions. but just give.
II they could see Just the little 1
have seen they wouldn't ask any
more. The army needs all the money
it can get and it is being we'll eX-
pended.
When I write again I will try to
give you an idea Of how the soldiers
are living and of how they are be-
ing cared for. I am feeling fine. get
my three square meals a day. sleep
tip top on my straw mattress and In
fact am having so far one fine time.
Yours truly,
EDWARD r. GRAY.

THE TONIC FOR
NERVOUS PEOPLE
How Undsrnourishsd Nerves May 81
Built Up and the Whole Nervous
System Strengthened and
Ravitaiixsd

Nervous people who have not yet
developed disease that can be rec
osnized and treated by the medical
profession have the greatest trouble
in finding relief. Irritation, headache,
sleeplessness. nervous dyspepsia, all
these discomforts make life miserable
but are endured rather than ruin a
doctors bill without definite hope Of
recovery.
Every sufferer should know the
danger Of such a condition Of the
nervous system. Nervous debility
and even paralysis may easily result
if the tone Of the nerves Is not re-
stored.
After suffering from nervousness
for fifteen years Mr.. H. H. Emerson Of
No. e26 Baker street, Dover, N. H.,
found relief by building up his blood.
Mr.. Emerson says. Il was so nervous
that could not do a days work
without being all tired out. Sleep
was almost impossible as would roll
and toss all night. I was a nervous
wreck. . rs
very often had bilious attacks
and severe sick headaches, A sharp
pain in my left shoulder and dull
pain across both shoulder blades
caused me much distress. Ny blood
was thin and impure.
Il had taken a great deal of medi-
cine but had not been helped. An
article in a newspaper brought DR..
Williams Pink Pills to my attention
and decided to try them.
by the time I had finished two
boxes I knew that / was being helped
My nerves are quieter than they have
been in years. l sleep we'll and am
refreshed by a nights rest. My gen.
eral health is good.
Il have great faith in DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and am glad to recommend
them to any one needing a tonic for
the nerves"
The first thing to do when threaten
ed with nervous trouble is to stop the
cause OF it. If possible, whether it is
irregular living, worry, or whatever it
may be. Then the nerves must be
given special nourishment and the
blood must be kept pure and rich.
HIS Is lflS lAiSSiOil VI LIZ. w
Pink Pills and this is why the pills
have been used with such great sue
cess in nervous trouble that did not
yield to ordinary methods of treat
ment.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain the
elements necessary to make new
blood and, as the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood. have
been found invaluable in q wide
range Of diseases of the blood and
nerves, such as rheumatism, after
effects of the grip and fevers, neural
gia and nervous debility.
