BOCHE'S FATE SEALED
Continued Allieid Advances in Fland-
 CTS Destroys Belgian Defense Systems.

Paris, Oct. 1.-The fate of the German defenses along the Belgian coast and in the great Lille indus trial area has been sealed by the continued advance of the allied armies under King Albert on the thirty mile front in Flanders The signifi canoe of the evacuation of the Bel gian coast line is far greater than the gain of Flanders territory with its many airdromes and submarine bases.
 The extreme right wing of the German defenses in the west has Ibeen wrenched away from the pro- tecting sea. Henceforth the immense lines which has been buttressed by the sea on one end and by the Swiss frontier on the other, forcing the allies always to attack frontially, can be outflanked.
 While the British attack across the Lys will bring about the evacuation Of the Lille salient, the march of the Belgians on Ghent will have a mark ed influence on the general retreat in the west to which the Germans irrevocably condemned by the Fland- CTS advance.
 General Ludendorff will be oblig- ed to seek to re-esta'blish his fast crumbling front far in the rear of the present operations. The Lille 'Mezieres line will Ite out of the qaestion as it will be outflanked and Ludendorff probably will have to de- fend the German frontier on the line of Antwerp-Namur-Metz. 10 reach this line, however, he will have to retreat swiftly on a wide front Such maneuver, it is be- lieved here, would be most perilous with Marshal Foch hammering un- relenting on the retreating armies.
 In any case the German command er has to preserve at all costs the Ardenne pivot. That is why the Ger mans are offering such determined resistance to the French north of Vouzieres and to the Americans on both sides of the Mouse. To fail ill defending the Ardenne pivot would mean disaster.

How ACid-StOmaCh WreCkS Health
 of Millions

If you ever hope to be we'll and strong you must get rid of that excess acid. Nothing is gained by taking medicines which merely stimulate and give one a false sense of strength and that leave the excess acid still in the stomach. You must depend upon your food for your strength-and unless you keep your stomach free from excess acid, pure sweet and strong, it cannot properly digest food; your whole body suffers.
 What you want is relief and here is the way-absolute- ly guaranteed-you take no chance. It's been tested tens of thousands of times with uni versal success. Go to your druggist and get just one pack age of EATONlC, a wonderful preparation that will literally wipe the excess acidity out of your stomach. The results ob- tained are nothing short of marvellous. Almost instantly it relieves that painful, puffed up feeling atter eating, 'beldhing, heartburn, sour stomach, etc. Makes the stomach feel cool and comfortable.
 If you need this help it's your own fault if you suffer another day. A big box of EATONIC Tablets costs only soc, so don't fail to get a box from your druggist today. You'll like them-they're good to take just like a bit of candy. Take EATON1C for one week and then if you are not satisfied with the results, tell your drug gist so and he will promptly re- turn your soc.

 MAKES PLEA THAT
 LOAN BE SECURED

New York( Oct. 17.-Otto H. Kahn, financier in an appeal today ito Americans of German descent" in which referred to the large per centage of German names in the American army's casualty lists, inn portuned them to "strain every nerve to equal or outdo our fellow citizens of native birth" in subscribing for the Fourth Liberty loan. :.
 After bitterly assailing kaiserism for dishonoring all children of the fatherland, MT. Kahn declared that "the war may be over before very long"
 'This may be the last chance" he continued, "for some of us to obtain an adequate place in the book of Hon. or of Liberty loan subscribers. |.
 "These pages will stand as perpet- ual record, as eloquent as the casualty lists"
 F "We men of german descent have a special reckoning to make with Kaiserism," said Mir. Kahn.
 The whole world has been wronged and hurt by prussianised Germany as it was never wronged and hurt before. But the hurt done to us is the deepest of all. Our spiritual inheritance 2has been stolen from us by impious hands and flung into the gutter.
 "The ideals and traditions We cher ished have been foully besmihced.
 ''What we were justly proud of has been dragged into the mire.

HUNS HOLD FAST
Capture of Grand Pre- Was Accom- pIished Under Difficulties By
 Americans.

With the American Army North west of Verdun, Oct. IT. c p. m.-) By the Associated Press.-When it was seen last night that the Germans had effected concentration in the Bantheville wood for a counter at tack on the Cote de Chatillon, which the Americans had captured, the American artillery opened up heav1- ly. The pounding resulted in the Germans failing to leave their trenches.
 The capture of Grand Pre- by Ge- neral Pershing's forces was accom- rliahed under terrific hardships and with a heroism not hinted at in the blief official announcement of the taking of this stronghold of the Ger mans north of the Argonne forest.
 The Americans took the town pri- marily lby outwitting the enemy by attacking without artillery prepara- tion, which the Germans had -ex- pecled, iby wading the river Aire at four points instead of building brid- ges, by struggling through almost imlassable mud step by step until suddenly on top of the amazed Ger mans and by driving them into a retreat after hand-to-hand fighting.
 The Americans had moved to a point within short distance of Gran Pre- and the Germans had de- stroyed the bridges over the shallow Aire as they retreated. The enemy obviously expected an artillery fire to preface any further attack, for his surprise was unfeigned when the Americans smashed into his posi- tions.
 The American attack began at six o'clock in the morning. The men moved forward in the shelter of the forest, reaching the Aire at four points agreed upon where the stream could be forded.
 Without attracting the attention of the Germans. the Americans then waGed into the cold water, which reached to their waists and even higher, and pushed across the stream
 On the northern bank they found broad mud flats into which they sank half way to their knees. The Germans by this time had discov- cred their approach and opened d bitter machine gun fire, but the Americans pushed steadily on. Be- yond the mud banks which were crossed slowly and with the great est difficulty, the Americans found the Germans and closed with them in a desperate bayonet hand-to-hand fight. Rifles often were used as clubs and each man struggled to down his individual opponent. At II o'clock the Americans had completely overcame the enemy. had driven him into the woods north of Grand Pre- and were in possession of the important railhead

"Our blood has been dishonored.
 "We have been bitterly shamed by our very kith and kin.
 "Our names. which came down to us from our fathers, have been de- filed.
 "Their very sound has been made challenge to the world.
 "The land to which wer were linked by fond memories has been made an outcast among the nations. convicted of high treason against civilization, and of unspeakable crimes against humanity"
 Professions of loyalty are empty concluded Mr. Kahn.
 By our acts we shall be judged.
 "Let each American of German des- cent say to himself that his subscrip- tion to the Liberty loan is and will be considered test and proof of his wholehearted allegiance to America" "

Many people make the mistake of thinking that acid-stomach- superacidity as the doctors call it-merely means an occasional attack of. indigestion, bloat, heartburn, belching, sour, gassy stomach, or some other such minor ailment quickly remedied-or will cure itself and leave no serious after ef- fects. AS a matter of fact su- peracidity is responsible for a long train of serious ailments that cause awful suffering and sometimes baffle the best med ical skill. It is a we'll estab- lished fact that many cases of chronic stomach trouble, ane- mia, stomatitis, gastritis, rheu- matism, gout, lumbago, cirrho- sis of the liver, auto-intoxica- tion, dyspepsia, catarrh of the stomach, intestinal ulcer, can cer of the stomach, and fre- quently valvular heart trouble and heart failure, can be traced directly to an acid-stomaoh.
 This is not at all surprising when you consider that even the acid formed in the mouth from fermentation of bits of food lodged in the teeth-an acid that is actually tasteless- is yet powerful enough to eat through the hard enamel of the teeth and decay them. Is it any wonder, then, that 'an excess amount of acid in the stomach causes so much misery, under mines the strength and wrecks the health and happiness of so many people? Is it not fact, within the range of your own observation, that nine people out of ten are victims of acid stomach?

Belgians and French Are Pushing Steadily Toward
 the Belgian Coast.
GERMANS CARRYING
 OUT TWO RETREATS
British Drums Beat in Streets of Lille While the
 Allies Advanced.

British Headquarters in Flanders Oct. IF, (Reuters.)-The Germans on leaving Lille, which was captured to- day by British forces, did not set fire to the buildings in the city or cause any explosions.
 Belglan and French troops, pivot ing on Lombaertzyde early today be- gan to push steadily northward to- ward the Belgian coast.
 The Germans are carrying out q double retirement m Flanders with Courtral as the pivot. The northern retirement extends from Ostend southward while the other affects the industrial area, of Northern France.
 The only point to the northern front where the Germans are resisting to- day is at Courtrai.
 The German retirement appears to be methodical and well organized. How far or how fast it is golng re- mains to be seen. Around Courtrai, in the center, the enemy is fighting a strong delaying action so as to cover hls Hanks.
 British drums were beating through the streets of Lille this morning, while British patrols advanced east of the city in contact with the re- treating Germans. The evacuation of LiMe and the British entrf into the city was one of the most dramatic events of the war.
 At four o'clock this morning the German commandant at Little order- ed all the inhabitants of Lille to as- semble as promptly as possible. As they hurried through the gloom of the streets they observed the garrison marching out. They were told to go out to the British lines and meet their friends. Then came the rhythmic tramp of infantry which gradually died away. The Germans had departed from Lille.
 At dawn a British airman flying over the city beheld a most amazing sight. The streets were thronged with civilians who were frantically wav- ing handkerchiefs and shawls. Not a soldier could be seen. The aviator quickly turned and carried the news back to the British lines. Patrols ad- vanced immediately and entered the city.
 At daylight the allied line in the north, which is being carried forward by the Belgians and French, ran from Mannekensvere to St. Pierre Capelle to Leke to Couckelaere to Wynendaele to Coolscamp to Turkyen- hoek to 1ngelmunster.
 With The Allied Forces :n Elan ders, Oct. IF (By The Associated Press. )-The allied infantry in the center of the advance against the retreating Germans on this front was reported today to have re-sstablishcd contact with the fleeing enemy. 1t is considered that if the present rate of advance is sustained the Belgian coast should be free of the Germans within very few days.
 Many additional prisoners have been captured. The British operating in Flanders, whose principal job has been supporting the Belgian and French flank, has alone captured A. 900 prisoners and 150 guns since the operations began.
 The roads in the rear fthe Belgian army are jammed with prisoners and captured war material.

CHANGES MIND ABOUT GOING
 AWAY.

Five years ago doctors told me I would have to move my wife to another climate, as she suffered so with stomach and liver trouble and bloating. Also, that she would have to have an operation for gall stones. Our mail carrier told me of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and, on his advice, she has taken it and is now as well as ever in her life." It is a simple. harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically al stomach, liver and in- testinal ailments, including appendi- citis. One dose will convince or money refunded. advt

The Women and the
 Third Liberty Loan

1T HE women of Alabama have 4 virtually completed their cam paign organization for the third liberty loan. Of the sixty-seven coun. ties nearly sixty are thoroughly or ganized and ready for the drive. And by the first of April every one will be accounted for.
 The first liberty loan was managed altogether by men, but in the cam paign for the second loan the women took an active part and contributed largely to the splendid result.
 So greatly were their services ap- precia " that they are now deter mined to put forth even greater ef- forts for the coming campaign.
 For weeks past Mrs. Solon Jacobs, as state chairman of the women's liberty organization, has worked with her accustomed tact and enthusiasm, arranging details, and her com stxuetiyo and earnest leadership has

 Only Friday morning The Age Her. aid printed brief statement calling for volunteers to make five hundred kit bags. Before nine o'clock in the morning there were volunteers to make thousand of these bags. and yesterday afternoon the full number were made and shipped
 Such work sets an example to tha older men of Birmingham. The work of the women at home and the boys at the front is an example to the old CT men who are not competent to go on the firing line.

NOT HARD TO DO

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 The conversation in the lobby of a Washington hotel turned to the subject Of efficiency, when this happy little incl dem was related by Senator George Suth- erland of Utah:
 One evening young man attended a circus, where one of the big features of the show was beautiful lion tanner. Entering the ring, followed by the lion, the fair charmer placed lump of sugar between her lips. which the king of the forest took from her with his teeth. Instantly the youth sat up and began to take notice.
 Great stunt. all right. he enthusias- tically shouted to the performer but l can do it, too
 'Of course. scornfully replied the pretty performer. who didn't like having her act minimized. but do you really think you can?
 < Most assuredly' was the prompt re- joinder of the young man just as well as the lion "
