Under the headings OF ordnance, avs
ton and tanks General Pershing gives
some first-hand information OF the ac-
tual equipment Of the army with those
much discussed implements and shows
the extent to which America was COM
PEELED to rely on the Allies.
Few Auxiliaries ON Hand
He says:
"Our entry into the war found us
with few of the auxiliaries necessary
for it's conduct in the modern sense.
The task of the Ordnance Department
in supplying artillery was especially
difficult. In order to meet our require
ments az rapidly as possible we accept
ed the offer of the French government
to supply US with the artillery equip
ment Of Tbs. 1856 mn. howitzers and 155
G. P. F. guns from their own factories
for thirty divisions. The wisdom OF
this course was fully demonstrated by
the fact that, although we soon began
the manufacture of these classes Of
guns at home, there were no guns Of
American manufacturers OF the calibers
mentioned on our front Mt the date Of
the armistice The only guns Of these
types produced at home which reached
France before the cessation Of >hostili-
ties were 100 75mm. guns. Inaddition
twenty-four 8-inch howitzers from the
United States reached our front and
were in use when the armistice was
signed. Eight 14-inch naval guns Of
American manufacture were set mp on

French Corps, on it's right, with the
10th. 26th and 81st American divisions
and two French divisions, drove the
enemy from his final foothoid on the
heights east Of the Mouse. AT p. m.
on November 8 appropriate orders were
sent to the LIST and I'd armies in accord
ance with the following telegram from
Marshal Foch to the commander of
each Of the Allied armies:
"'The enemy, disorganized by our re-
peated ATTACKS, retreats aiong the en-

Movements Needed Coordination
"It is important to coordinate and
expedite our movements.
AZ appeal to the energy and initia-
tive of the commanders-in-ch and of

ain consequence Of the foregoing in
structions, our I'd Army pressed the

moreover 1t was obvious that the lack

and almost certain to break up under
stress of defeat, with the consequent
mutual recrimination. Again, there
was no doubt that the realization by
the German people that independent
American divisions, corps or armies
were in the f1eld with determined pur-
pose would be a severe blow to German
morale and prestige"
General Pershing had refused utterly

consented. because Of the existing
emergency, to lend the combat divi,
sions at hand to help stem the German
Offensive of 1913, which, the Allied War
Council foresaw, may very quickly
place the Allied armies in serious Sit
uation."
The German rush developed as ex-
pected: the report shows, but the
enemy's success was far greater than
hadbeen feared. At Amiens the Brit
ish were driven in on forty-kilome ter
front; between the Disc and Berry-au-
Bac the French lost fifty kilometers on
thirty kiiometer front in four
days. And Immediately the Germans
utilized the Marine "as a defensive
flank, and the advance was directed
toward Paris"
Grave Situation Recalled
"The gravity Of the situation" the
report says, led to the famous orders
for holding up all supply and troop
shipments except "infantry and ma
chine gun units" General Foch, who
was now made generalissimo, estimated
that 100 American divisionS would be
necessary for Allied victory.
General Pershing at this time was
recommending that his troops be used
to smash the Marine pocket into which
the Germans had thrust themselves
He says:
"The Marine salient was inherently
weak and offered an. opportunity for q
counter offensive that was obvious. If
successful, such an operation would

defense, would remove the threat

RIDICULOUS FAD OF FASHION
Description Of Head-Dress Worn by
Women Some Centuries Ago Ap-
pears Almost Incredible.

Fashion plays constant pranks with
a woman's hair. Addison says in the
Spectator Of 1918: There is not SO
variable a thing in nature as lady's
head-dress; within my memory have
known 1t to rise and fall above 80
degrees" In the reign of Henry vi,
ladies wore horns, having on each side
ears so large that when they would
pass through the door of a room it
was necessary to turn sideways and
stoop. It was judged necessary to en-
large the doors of the Chateau de
Vincennes. The correct angle for the
hair was 40 from perpendicular, which
entailed great strain upon the hair
growing from the forehead. Little
thought of what we call cleanliness
or even decency was present at the
hairdressing Of that day. Not only
was the hair left untouched for most
revoltingly long time, but materials
were used In the dressing Of the hair
and making the rolls Gas Anna Green
Winslow related), which were most
incredible. The Boston Gazette OF
May, 1771, tells of a young woman
driving in Boston streets who was
thrown from her carriage and her high
tower partly torn off. 1t proved to be
stuffed with yarn, tow, wool, curled
hair, and even hay.

Exnlaininn Knockout Blow.

When the lower jaw is struck on It's
point, especially with an uppercut, the
bony portion of the ear inside Is
driven forcibly upward into the glen
old cavity of the skull, above and De
hind which is situated the delicate
labyrinth of the inner ear.
The jawbone strikes hard upon the
thin plate of bone that supports these
sensitive organs and gives a shoch
to the emi-circular canals that Is In
stantly transmitted by them to the
bulb, producing dizziness, nausea and
momentary paralysis.
This explains why a sideways blow
on the jaw is more effective as q
knockout than one delivered directly
upon the point of the jaw. For the
shock of a sideways blow Is received
in one glenoid cavity, that on the side
opposite the one on which it is struck
while the shock of blow in the cen
ter is divided between the cavities on
the two sides.

WERE MARVELS IN CHILDHOOD
Those Whom the World Has Reecs-
ni,ed IS Men Of Genius Remark
able for Precoeity.

One character common TO genius
and to insanity, especially moral in
sanity, is precocity. CeSare LombrOso,
professor of legal medicine, University
of Turin, relates that Dante, when
nine years of age, wrote a sonnet to
Beatrice; TassO wrote verses at ten.
Pascal and Comte were great think
ers at the ages of thirteen, FORMER at
fifteen, Niebuhr at seven, Jonathan
Edwards at twelve, Michel Angelo at
nineteen, Gassendi, the Little Doctor,
at four, BOssut at twelve. and Voltaire
at thirteen. Pico de la Mirandola knew
Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Chaldean and
Arabic, in his childhood; Goethe wrote
a story in seven languages when he
was scarcely ten; Wieland knew Latin
at seven, meditated an epic poem at
thirteen, and at sixteen published his
poem, "Die VOllkommenste Welt"
Schiller was only nineteen when he
wrote "Rauber." Victor Hugo COM
posed "Irtamene" at fifteen. Pope
wrote his ode to solitude at twelve,
and Byron published verses at eight
cen. Moore translated "Anacreon" at
thirteen. Meyerbeer at five played ex-
cellently on the piano. Claude Joseph
Vernet drew very well at four, and at
twenty was a celebrated painter. AT
thirteen Wren invented an astronom-
ical instrument, and offered 1t to his
father with Latin dedication.
Raphael was famous at fourteen.
Beethoven composed three sonatas at
thirteen. Eichorn, Mozart and Eybler
gave concerts at six. Weber was only
thirteen when his first opera, "Das
Waldmarchen," was presented. Bacoa
conceived the "NOvum Organum" at
fifteen. Charles XII manifested his
great designs at eighteen.

Solicited Alcohol,

Solidified alcohol has proved one Of
the most convenient forms of fuel, and
is largely made use of at the pres
ent time for many purposes. There
are many forms of cookers making
use of this fuel, and the latest de-
vice of this character is steriliZing
apparatus to be made use of by doc
tors and nurses. The sterilizer con-
sists of two containers, one to ac-
commodate the instruments to be
treated and the other for the gauze.
bandages and similar material. A
small quantity of water in the lower
chamber is heated by the flame from
the alcohol and the steam therefrom
passes around the instruments, thor
oughly cleansing them and then pass
ing to the upper chamber, where 1t
has the same effect on the contents OF
that compartment. The same princl-
pie is made use of in the construction
of food kettle for the use OF aero
mats. The food is packed In the in
terror of the kettle and a small alco-
hol burner slowed away in the bottom
is ignited and the heat from 1t will
keep the food hot for several hours.

George A. Wilson, of 1904 Delta

dollar every night since he took
Meritone, and gets up mornings feel
ing fine.
''I'm ready to get right up and go
to work when / awaken" said Mr..
Wilson.
81 was nervous and couldn't sleep
right at night and, of course, ] felt
bad in mornings. lost my appetite
and my strength kept going down and
down.
"Then l caught the influenza and
when / got over that tell you l was
weak and coughed nearly all the
time.
"Meritone changed me. l sleep
sound as a dollar now and when l get
up I'm ready for a big breakfast Of
bacon and eggs. Then, after that, |
feel like getting at my work.
"My wife can see the change in me
since I've been taking Meritone. l
guess l used to be pretty cross and
irritable, but she says I'm not that
way at all now"
Meritone is highly recommended
for stomach, liver or kidney trouble,
catarrh, rheumatism, nervousness,
sleeplessness and the like, or for
building up folks who feel run down
and tired out.
