Retter Than pills.

The question has been asked, In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to pills? Our answer is
They are easier and more pleasant to
take, more gentle and mild in their
action and more reliable. Then they
cleanse and invigorate the stomach
and leave the bowels in a natural
condition, while pills are more harsh

Ired forty six officers and 1900 men,
and since joining the British fighting
forces they have secured 5000 prison
ers and more than sixty cannon.
Officer prisoners say their orders
were to stop fighting with infantry
and to defend themselves solely with
artillery and machine guns. They COM
planned there was a great lack Of am
munition and guns as result Of the
recent enormous captures by the AL
hes, and they added that the lack of
motor transportation was responsible
for such large numbers of infantrymen
being taken since the offensive began.
Troops from five divisions from
other sections of the front have now
appeared in the line opposite the Brit
ish and Americans. The bulk Of them
undoubtedly is being used to garrison
the positions known as the Valen-
clennes line. All, however, are believed
to have been engaged in the recent
lighting, and are in low strength and
poor morale.

Americans Push on to Flaming

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. II
(by The Associated Press) (Noon).--
General Pershlng's forces continued
their attacks to-day against the Ger
man positions on this front. German
opposition proved even more bitter, if
possible, than it was yesterday.
The fighting this morning was espe-
c1ally violent on the centre and on the
left centre. st. Juv;S and Cunel, both
of which towns are now in No Mans
Land, are af1ame.
The American troops encountered a
violent machine gun fire everywhere
along the front.
FROM prisoners taken there is every
indication that the enemy is throwing
everything into the battle in a con-
fused way. The prisoners frequently
are unable to tell to what division thev
belong. In other cases they reveal that

The British barrage late yesterday

when the Americans entered, the peo-

The Americans were kissed again and
again, the more emotional of the vii

The villagers offered the soldiers tea

"Why, you must be Americana"
Then there was another outburst of
enthusiasm.
Americans and British troops capt
ured In the Bohain region what was
probably the largest enemy ammuni-

capture will greatly reduce the GUAM

Germans on this section of the front.

All the Bohain roads we're found to

they shot at big one in the centre Of
the place. They made a direct hit.
The explosion blew a hole in the
ground big enough to hold a large

Because the German divisions and
regiments are so mixed up and deci-

to have abandoned numbers on shout

letters on their sleeves designating
groups.

To-day's attacks from the Meuse to

abortivc. At the start the Germans
were able to pour in such rain Of
machine gun bullets and shells from

Americans made virtually no advance
at all, especially in the centre of the
line.
German OPPOSITION was heavy every
where except on the extreme right of
the American line where the troops
were able to advance slowly up the
river. They worked their way into

prisoners in the forest north of the

the Germans had twenty-five divisions
in the Champagne sector, twelve Of
which were fresh, the fear of being

the difference between the develop

Now there has been 4 change. The

as to whether the British and French
