HON PRISONERS SAID war
WOULD END SOON ANYWAY

Howard Barber arrived In
Monte Vista last Saturday from
France. dad" volunteered
from La Plata county and was
In the very thickcst Of the fight
ing with American troops
against the BOche. He has u
tremendously intcrcs I ng
story to tell Of his experiences.
Howard was assigned to the
2Sth division (Pennsylvania)
and this division was used a.
"shock" troops in the terrific
fighting sector around Verdun
and Chateau Thierry. The
2Sth division was the nearest
Of any Allied troops to Metz
when the armistice was signed
and was preparing to make an
assault upon that stronghold
when hoStilities ceased. The
plan was not to make the tre-
mcndous sacrifice of men in
taking Metz directly but for
the Allied troops to pass
around il on each side and
leave It cut of from all lines
Of communication.
Barber does not minimize
the courage Of the German SOL
diers but states that they are
helpless unless fighting in
close formation and directly
under orders and supervision
of officers. In contrast he
showed that the Americans
are the greatest fighters on
earth. that they excel in in
dependent thought end action,
and that the American style Of
open-formatioen fighting and
the fact that the Germans
could not stop them broke the
German morale. A remark
he made illustrates this point
admirably when he said,
Much Of the time we were en-
tirely without officers, they
being killed or shell-shocked,
but we went on just the same.
We advanced at five PAGES
apart, wave sitter wave,
against machine gun fire or
barrage. and when the Ger
mans learned that they could
not stop the Americans they
were ready to quit.
Continuing. Barber said
"The Allied tanks played a
great part. The Germans
were scared to death of them.
The tanks would advance
straight to a German machine
gun nest obliterating it en-
tirely and killing the German
machine gunners. I saw one
tank at Cierge charge a steeple
in the top Of which the Ger
mans had machine gun. The
tank made several attacks at
the base of the steeple

To Properly Treat
 Obstinate Wrinkles

Particularly where wrinkles are long and deep, the massage devotee is apt to rub too hard and too ire quently. This lOosens the skin, causes muscles to sag, aggravates the wrinkled condition-ju5t the opposite result from that sought.
 Better than massage, or anything else, for the most obstinate wrinkles, as well as the finest lines, is a re- r1arkable formula which you may readily avail yourself of, as you will have no difficulty in procuring the constituents from your druggist. It IS this: One ounSe of powdered sax oItte, dissolved in one-haIf pint witch hazel. Bathe face, neck and hands m this. The effect is really marvel ous, not only as to wrinkI.s. but also in cases of baggy cheeks and chin. The application IS refreshing and soothing, tending to relieve fatigue. Both the witch hazel and the saxoIite ore, of course, entirely harmless to the skin-Adv
