WAR COUNCIL PLAN
BEING OBSERVED
AMERICAN TROOPS DOING THEIR
SHARE ALONGSIDE FRENCH
AND BRITISH.
Statement That 1t Had Been Decided
Not to Use Men From United States
on Western Front at Present, Was
Due to An Error.

Observation-Disclosures officers are
inclined to characterize the reports
sent via Ottawa on Sunday that Amer
lean troops would not be used until
complete and powerful American
army had been developed in France,
as an echo of the political controversy
precipitated in England by the Incl
dent of General Maurice.
They could see no other explana-
ton since the statement attributed to
the war committee" of the British
war cabinet was promptly repudiated
by Lord Reading, British ambassador
here, and later declared by Secretary
Baker in a formal statement to be at
absolute variance with the facts as
known here.
From London comes the official in
formation that 1.-The statement sent out
from Ottawa, attributing to the war
committee of the British cabinet the
announcement that 1t had been decid-
the western front until it became a
complete and powerful force, was due
to an error, which has now been cor
rected'
Lord Readings statement said he
was confident no such announcement
had been issued with the knowledge of
Premier Lloyd George, adding that the
views of the British government which
he was transmitting were exactly OPP
posite. Secretary Baker said Ameri-
can troops were now being used in
battle and would continue to be used
as the supreme commander, General
Foch, deemed best.
Inquiry at the various bureaus of
the war department showed that the
expedited movement of men to France
Is proceeding as planned after the an
nouncement that American units
would be brigaded with French and
British divisions for immediate oper-
ations, as well as training.

THREE KINDS OF GENTLEMEN
Somewhat Peculiar Distinctions Thai
Are Made by Inhabitants of the
Emerald Island.

Ireland is the only country in which
1t has ever been customary to classify
gentlemen as of three distinct kinds or
species.
Probably the distinctions are still
recognized to some extent in the En-
erald isle, but two centuries ago, and
even much later, they We're defined
respectively as (one) the "half-mount-
ed" (two) the gentleman every linen
of him." and (three) the gentleman to
the backbone"
The first class consisted of descend
ants of Cromwell's soldiers, who, II
they could ride well, were called
''Buckskin Breeches," or "Squireens.'
The second class was composed OF
descendants of old families whose es
! tates had been forfeited to the crown
(for rebellion or other reasons). ant
who had been compelled to lower them
selves by working for living, in trade
or the professions.
The third class-the gentlemen tC
the backbone"-comprised the ole
stock, or folks who lived on the ancient
family estates and the labor of tn,
peasantry pertaining to their domains

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingllng thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood Is the best insurance
against ills of oil kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t Is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
