GERMANS EAGERLY
 BUY ARMY GOODS
Enormous Quantities of Old Material Being Disposed of by Army t-
 Along the Rhine

With the American Forces in Germany, July 12-(Correspondence of the Asso- ciated Press. )-Old material used by the Third army on the Rhine is being dis posed of in a hurry German civilians alone recently have been buying from 20 to 70 carloads of salvaged material each day. Germans assemble in Coblenz. or the other towns where the auction sales are held, by the hundreds. some coming from Cologne, from Mayence, and others as far as Frankfort Main, Cas- sel and other parts of occupied Germany.
 At a recent sale in Coblenz with Ger man-speaking doughboy as auctioneer, 125, GOO leather jerkins were sold to the Germans for 1000 900 marks. (The recent army exchange on marks is 2.5o marks for franc) The same day So,o00 raincoats, many of them having been used by Amer ican soldiers during the war, were sold for 20,0o0 marks.
 The Germans eagerly buy anything of- fered by the Americans. particularly any articles containing leather or rubber. Ten thousand American-made gas masks were sold few days ago to civilians, who planned to make use of the rubber f\r commercial purposes. More than 100 tons of harness, some of it German made and abandoned after the armistice, were dis posed of at a recent auction sale near Coblenz.
 Forty thousand pairs of American field shoes many of which had been worn and torn in the march of the doughboys from Luxembourg to the Rhine in December, were sold in lots at a special sale.

THE BOOK SHELF
By THE BIBLIoPHILE

THE WAR ROMANCE OF THE SAL NATION ARMY."-
 By Evangeline Booth, eCommander-in- Chief, the Salvation Army in America). and Grace Livingston Hill Nutz). H. lustrated. J. B. Lippincott. company, publishers, Philadelphia.
 The Salvation Army is unlike anything else in the world. Its war history par takes of that difference. The American soldier, who met it's men and women in his hour of need again and again, would undoubtedly pronounce verdict of great stuff on the thrilling story now , told in full from exclusive sources of information, by it's American command CT, Evangeline Booth, and Grace Living ston Hill Lutz.
 From the time the advance guard of the American Expeditionary forces reach- ed France, and went into training, through all the great drives and battle fields upon which the array wrote it's name in glory, to the day when return ing veterans landed on American soil, the Salvation Army was the conlrade of the American soldier. Foul, Montdidier, Baccarat, Chateau-Thierry, Soissons, St
 
 names is linked for all time the service of the Salvation Army, service that knew no closing hours, but was always on the alert
 It Is inextricabfy mingled with the story of American participation in the war No one else has told that glorious story So simply and effectively; we see and hear our brave boys as the Salvation Army saw and heard them; a story to bring the tears of pride to oness eyes, and a great sense of gratitude to one s heart toward these Salvation Army men and lassies who served them so we'll Through the fog and the rain, in the hours of night, on the roads, under shell fire, serving our boys with hot coffee and doughnuts with smile, a song, word of cheer, they were always to be found. With the boys in the trenches, in the desolation of No Mans Land. amid the terrors of the battlefield, in the field hospital, in the huts by day and night, no service was too smalls or too great to give gladly.
 This splendid story, with it's message that will go straight to the heart of ev- cry father. mother, sister, sweetheart, and wife of the boys who went across the sea, is full of the sunshiny spirit characteristic of the Salvation Army There is no posing, no heroics, but these Salvation Army workers won the place they hold, high in the estimation of all

THE SKY PILOT IN NO MANS
 LAND"

By Ralph Connor. George H. Dorar
 company, publishers. New York City.
 From the rolling prairies and noun tai1s of the west to the barbed wire and shell holes of Europe may seem a far cry.
 But the human need, critical mo- ments, have one, and only one soiv- ent: courage!
 Ralph Connor dramatized unforget- tably the great principles of freedom, humanity and heroism in the sky pilot of the foothills. In this story he shows the same liberty loving, courageous soul of the west meeting the supreme test of that other frontier of civilization that saved men and saved the world.

TRAVELLING MAN
 GAINS 15POUNDS M. M. Miller Works Every Day Since Tanlac Built
 Him Up

q have gained fifteen pounds since my health failed five years ago, 1t iS the only medicine that has done me a particle of good" said M. M Miller, well known and popular travelling sales man for the Northwestern Manufactur- ing and Milling Co.,, who lives at So2 North State street, Alb erdeen. s. Dak.
 q don't believe any man on earth ever had a worse case of stomach trou- ble than I did.p continued MT. Miller, land I know I took enough medicine during that five years, to cure a dozen people but I never got any relief until I got hold of this Tanlac. Everything ate would sour on my stomach, and this would cause gas to form so bad that the pains would have would almost kill me. I was in so much misery that I couldn't sleep at night. and would have to walk the floor for hours at time. I lost in weight from two hundred and forty-five pounds to one hundred and seventy, and finally got so weak and rundown that l was not able to work more than two days out of each week.
 Several of my friends spoke to me about Tanlac, and recommended 1t so highly that decided to give 1t trial. and am here to tell you, that you will have to go a mighty long ways to find a medicine to equal Tanlac. Why. l can eat anything I want now, and never have a sign of indigestion or stomach trouble of any kind. My strength has come back to me, and am getting my weight back in a hurry. l feel as well in every way as l ever did in my life. and I never lose any time from my work at all. Yes, sir. l certainly can recommend Tanlac, for know from by own experience with 1t that it is one medicine that will do all they say it will"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham by Eu- gene Jacobs drug store and Patton Pope Drug company. and by the leading druggists in practically every city.

They were delivered on various impor- tant and patriotic occasions, and these utterances which grew out of the stress and strain of wartime, probably reflect more faithfully and spirit and ideals of the navy than would the studied phrases of formal and carefully consid- cred addresses. In The Navy and the Nation," the apparent ease with wSich the vast expansion of the navy was ac- comp plished is made more underestimate ble by the inside story of how the plans had all been prepared in advance. and only an order was required to mobilize the fleet. Sir Eric Geddes. first lord of the British admiralty, on his visit to this country last OctNoer, said: The dauntless determination which the United States has displayed in creating a huge trained body of seamen out of 1andsmen Is one of the most striking accomplishments of the war. Had it not been effectively done one would have thought it impossible"
 No one can put down Secretary Dan iels' book without heightened sense of the fine spirit of cooperation which the Secretary of the Navy inspired in citizen and sailor alike.
 The nation is whole-hearted1y proud of its navy. Its feats have never beer equaled in the entire history of sea operations. MT. Daniels was the ex- ecutive head of one of the greatest naval organizations the world has known. He was the bond between the people, who could make the dream pos sible, and the fleet, which could make it fact. The picture one gets in these interesting pages of the navy at work, its contacts with industry and science, it's myriad activities ashore and afloat, will remain memorable both for it's of ficial character and its vivid delinea- tiOn.

THE GRAND FLEET 1914-1916' By Admiral Viscount Jellicoe, George Fl.
 Doran company. publishers, New York
 City.
 In preface to Admiral viscount Jellicoe's book entitled "The Grand Fleet, 1s14-1s1s' we find the following in- teresting statement giving an insight into the contents of the book:
 Tn the following pages the work of the grand fleet from the outbreak of way until the end of November, 1S1s. is de- scribed.
 "The writing of this record of the work of the grand fleet. of which little has been heard by the nation hitherto, has helped to fill in days of leisure. The manu- script was finished by the autumn of 1918 but publication was deferred for obvious reasons. When the armistice had been signed and the German navy had, for all practical purposes, ceased to exist, felt free to issue the book. The final revision has been done hastily. owing to my early
