GILLIAN COUNTY BOY HAS INTERESTING TRIP;

down it will take more than Ger
mans TO stop US. The people
here seem very queer in their
dress; most of them wear wooden
shoes. However / guess there
is a reason for it all. American
cigars and cigarettes are cheaper
here than in the States. 1t rains
here about as often as in Port
land in the winter but our tents
are good and we have no kick.
i think it will take Europe about
two thousand years to catch up
with the United States for these
countries are about two hundred
years behind right now. The
freight cars here look like The
little dump cars used at home in
construction camps and the loco

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot BE Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure catar-
rhal deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal deaf
mess is caused by an infiamed condi-
tion of the mucous lining of the Eus-
ta"hian tube. When this tube Is in
famed you have q rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
| tirely closed, deafness Is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf

Of the need Of rushing shipbuilding.
While they show more than H.
100000 tons Of ships destroyed since
submarine warfare began, and only
100000 tons of ships built to take
their places, they show that the rate
Of submarine destruction steadily
has decreased from the heights it
reached when, early in 1917, Ger

stricted campaign Of ruthlessness
and forced the United States into the
, war. Officials here regard the new
British policy as a frank laying Of
all the cards on the table, so that the
public might know exactly what it
has to face and might place the
blame for failure in the shipbuild-
ing program. The showing was not
reassuring, but there was no pessim-

Percentage Of Sickness Lower Than

Excellent Condition Due Partly TO
Good Billets

Coblenz, Tuesday. Dec. a4.-(By The
Associated Press. The percentage Of
sickness among the occupying Amer
lean troops is unusually low, accord
ing to the estimates of the third army
mediCan officers The number Of cases
in the eight evacuation hospitals
within the evacuated area is about
1900 most Of them being influenza.
Figuring the approximate number o.
occupying troops as 30o.00o the sick
ness amounts to less than l IL per
cent. Ir peace time the sickness
among soldiers averages from 10
3 per cent The excellent condition OF
the mer is due partly TO good billets.
There is just enough drilling to keep
the soldiers in condition and there IS
I'D ovcrcr0wding or illness from ia
tigue or exposure. The third army
has five hospitals in Coblenz and two
at Treves and one at Maycnce. Mos.
Of these are former German hospitals
and the equipment is modern In ev-
