CANNIBAISS GIVEN
SEVERE LESSON

--~rNNNNN-N
Melbourne, February 3.-The AUS
tralian naval vessel Fantome was sent
to the New Hebrides Islands recently to
chastise tribe of canibals accused Of
having committed murders The man
eaters occupied the northern side OF
Malekula Island and were accused Of
the murder of a French cocoanut
planter
As the New Hebrides are owned joint
~ by France and Great Britain. the
Australian warship was selected to
punish the savages. The Fantome
landed a punitive force of So officers
and men at Malua bay, where the party
was joined by Is native guards.
Having reached the outskirts of the
village where the murderers were sun
posed to be in hiding the commander
of the expedition sent an interpreter to
parley with the villagers for the sur=
render of the man suspected of the
murder
Groups of armed savages from the m
terror were hiding on the hillsides over
looking the village and two of their
chiefs shouted to the villagers that ii
any of them surrendered to the eXpedt-
ton the village would be fred upon.
Seeing that the island tribesmen were
making all the trouble, the punitive

party opened fire upon them with ma
chine guns and followed this with a
charge by a detachment of bluejackets
who took the ridge and drove the saw
ages out. This ended the affair, the
expedition suffering no casualties,
British and French residents de-
clared the cannibals had been taught a
severe lesson, which would insure the
future safety of the white residents of
Malekula.

After over four years exile the thought
that the invader was now definitely

intense impatience once more to take

The workmen of the Birtley mum

summary of United States naval &C
tivities prepared at headquarters here
Mum erically, the submarine chasers
headed the list with 120, then came the
destroyers with 10, while the third class
was the unheralded So colliers that as
sisted in keeping a steady stream OF
coal moving from Cardiff to maintain
the allied armies and prevent France
from freezing.
OF the Is classes of ships enumer-
ated in the report, the work of the de-
stroyers stands first in dramatic in
terest. The 30 that were here on July
/. 1917, Immediately became active in
the war game and that activity con-
stantly Increased as the number OF
boats gradually swelled until it reached
the maximum number on November IL,
1918.
With 25 converted yachts and few
other vessels they escorted 100000
troops of the United States expedition
airy force to Europe without the loss OF
a man fl 4 enemy action, and they
escorted 2 per cent of all United states,
allied and neutral shipping to France
and England from April 6, 1917 to No
Vember 9, 1915 In this and other WORK
they steamed approximately 275,000
miles every 30 days.
The convoy system was not adopted
! until shortly after the United States
entered the war, but in the year and
seven months from then until the end,
1858 ships were brought over in 1874
conveys that numbered from one ship
| to as many as 40. United states de-
stroyers based at Queenstown and Brest
escorted more than 600 single SHIPS
through the danger zone and in this
| work encountered some of their great
| est hazards. Only the largest, fastest
| ships were sent across alone, and IN
rough weather the destroyers were con-
siderably battered when forced to main
! tain high speed against heavy seas.

OAKLAND WOMAN
 GAINS 2 POUNDS
% Haven't Felt So We'll in Years,'' She Says After Taking
 Tanlac.

q just don't believe Tanlac has ever helped anybody in the world any more than it has me, for it has not suffering but it has actually added twenty-seven pounds to my weight" " was the statement made to the Tan lac representative a few days ago by Mrs. Catherine Hagerty, living at 1704 14th St., Oakland, Cal.
 My troubles started with chronic indigestion and nobody will ever know the misery I went through, % she continued. "I had an unnatural appetite, was always wanting to eat, and l would have such terrible pains after meals I would be in agony for hours Gas would form and press up against my heart and cause such pal pitation that I thought I had heart trouble, and I would almost have to fight to get my breath. l was so nervous I couldn't go to a picture show, and I had awful pains in my spine that ran clear up to my head. I suffered from dreadful nervous headaches that for a long time came on me every day, and I would have such terrible dizzy spells that l would have to stop and lie down until they passed over. My sleep was so broken that when I got up every morning l felt like I hadn't had wink of sleep, and my liver was so sluggish that l had to be taking something every few days. l had a bad taste in my mouth nearly all the time, my tongue was coated and my complexion turned yellow.
 "When I commenced taking Tan lac my condition had reached the point where I didn't think 1t was possible for any medicine to do me much good But the way Tanlac be- gan to help me was a complete sur prise to me, and now I can eat any thing I want and digest it so per fectly that I am not troubled in the least with gas or indigestion. My nerves are steady, and I have almost forgotten that I ever had head ache or a dizzy spell. The pain in my spine has entirely disappeared, my liver was never in better condi- tion, and I am sleeping soundly eight or nine hours every night. My friends are all remarking how my complexion has cleared up, and l don't have that bad taste in my mouth and my tongue is not coated any more l am not bothered in any way whatever, and as I have said l have gained twentyseven pounds in weight I just haven't felt so fine in years"

May Make Races Against Ca
Srsssman Swope Next Year 4

y IA dispatch from Washington
says that it is rumored in WashH
ington that Major L. Meriwethen
Smith, Of Harrodsburg, now in
the Judge Advocate Generals
department Of the army, may
make the race for Congress next
year against King Swope, if the
latter comes up for reelection, as
he doubtless will. Major Smith
lis a member Of the State Senate
and is trying to obtain his dis-
charge from the army in time to
attend the meeting of the legis-
lature next January. He is prom
inent in politics, well konwn in
his district, and having been in
one of the most important
branches of the army during the
entire war period would be in a
position to divide the soldier vote
very successfully with Captain
Swope. Having been chosen to
fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Congressman Harvey
Helm, Captain Swope's term will
expire March 4, 1921, and the
only Republican who has carried
1.-THE district in the last 20 years
and Major Meriwether Smith
may be the man who will re-
deem the district for Democracy
