This will keep away the first cold at

If the first fresh cold is treated eff
fectively and rapidly, there need be

which make the rapid spread of pre-

filled million times with the "catch.

liars are having! How many rumors
about train loads of dead have you

CONVOYS
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT IN
FIGHTING SUBMARINES

American Naval Base, France, Oct
1S.-The record of submarine actiyi-
ly for the months of June, July and
August, period most favorable to
the U-Boats is now practically made
up. 1t shows two highly satisfactory
results,-the steady fall in the Allied
shipping sunk and the steady rise in
the submarines destroyed
Not one of the incoming troop ships
has been lost and every soldier was
landed Such losses as occurred have
been on the outgoing ships, mainly
freighters going back with little or
no cargo.
AS the American naval convoy ser
vice has borne the brunt of this pro-
lection the results achieved are no.
table tribute to the American fleet.
1t is definitely known that U-boats
are destroyed faster than they are be.
ing built. -.
