have encountered IN this well a
series Of conditions geoloEically
that would put oil men on the

fields. We have encountered and
passed through conditions which
in other fields were the sure pre-

HUNS SUFFER MUCH
FROM AIR BOMBING
BY United Press.

BY United Press
London, Oct. 12.--(By mail )-The
German high command has found It
necessary to issue q special order
governing infantry defense against
aircraft.
This order suggests that German
morale has been so damaged by the
constant low-flying tactics Of entente
airmen that the panic-stricken Ger
man infantry have been opening fire
indscrimlnately against any low-fly-
ing alrplanes, quite without regard
for 1t nationality or markings. 1t is
found necessary in this order to re.
peat that the infantry Is forbiddent
to fire once the iron cross is seen, ="
and to state that every man who fires
on any aircraft will be held person
aally responsible, and is not justified
because other people are doing So"
Another matter which apparently
Is worrying the Hun commander, and
upon which he has found it necessary
to issue another special order, is the
failure of German camouflage. The
order is also incidentally a tribute
to the work of the entente air ser
vices, for il begins:-"The constant
observation of Ou reorganization by
the enemy's airplanes in trench war
fare compel us to hide our ar
tillery positions to an increasing de-
gree"
A captured German corps bears
further witness to the efficiency of
entente bombing work This docu-
ment commences: Recently our
losses from bombing have been on
the increase" and proceeds to lay
down elaborate instructions for is
suing general warnings over very
largo areas on the approach OF en-
tonte airnen These instructions in
volye the complete cessation Of all
activity in the whole corps sector,
not only by troops in line and sup
port, but by those in rest.
Private lettors and diaries taken
from prisoners tell the same tale.
One discovered recently tells OF the
devastation caused by a nightflying
English maachine which bombed an
ammunition train. Another states
that while the writer was In rest at
Douai his barracks were bombed
every day, aud mentions 30 casual
ties as the result OF one such visit.
A letter of later date written by
a soldier in a German labor battalion
reads as follows:

Trlumph Ct American DYES.

The latest official reports for the fs-
cal year which ended with June show
that the American exports of anilinc
dyes for 1918 amounted 10 81. .0SO.
This, when compared with our imports
Of aniline dyes in 1913, is significant
OF the strides made by American chem
lists in the dye situation. Germany
supplied these coal dyes before the war
and America paid more than S7000000
a year for the products. Today Amer
lea makes enough OF the leading colors
for home needs and is supplying other
countries in large quantities, as the
exports indicate.
In the early days Of 1915 there we're
but seven companies in America pro-
ducing colors. Today it is estimated
that there are about $50 concerns in
this line.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
TO stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcones all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, blackhsads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. Il costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, Sl00. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins
