gle file we moved along the communi-

of us were wounded. but we remained
dauntless. All our fatigue seemed to

The front trench was a plain ditch.

and the space between was filled with
groans and swept by bullets. 1t was
a scene full OF. horrors Sometimes
an enemy shell would land in the
midst of our men, killing several and
wounding many. Then we would be
sprinkied with the blood Of our COM
rades and spattered by the mud.
At in the morning the commander
arpeared in our midst. He was SEEM
insly nervous. The other officers came
with him and took their positions at
the head of the men. With drawn sa-
bers they prepared TO lead the charge.
The commander had a rife.

us, like ripe wheat cut down by a gl-

was dripping on the cold corpses that
had lain there for hours or days. And

PREDICTS JUMP
in FARM WAGES
Agricultural Department
Says Billion-Dollar Mark
ss..s i...s Will Be Passed.

e -Iasrn wages this year will jump be-
yoad the billion dollar mark, Agricul-
tursi Department figures indicated
yesterday.
The American farmer has begun to
share with the hired man the in
creased prosperity that came to him
last year. In pre-war days the hired
hand earned approximately 500. .OOO. 600.
o. about half what he is expected to
receive this year. Reports to the De-
esutTnent OF Agriculture show that
LIST year farm wages had jumped ~
psF- cent over those OF the five years
rom 1873 to 1915.

sGillio1s Of persons will share the
prOflts. TnsTe are 6,717.Co0 farms in
the United NStates. Nearly all en-
ploy at least. one hired hand during
some part og the year, and many
farms in the West want several men
during the whole year.
Record farm wages also are ex-
pected to be q big factor in reduc-
ing the proportion Of floating unem-
ployed. Such men are again forming
mobile gangs OF harvest hands. These
gangs mobilize in Oklahoma IN June

Terrifying Discomfort
From Skin Diseases

You can get some little relief
for the time being by >abbing or
scratching the irrit>>ed skin. but
you p-r-sll44 7s0t expect to be cured
in this way. Neither should you
expect a cure from local applica-
tions of lotions. ointments or other
remedies applied to the skin. for
the simple reason that a cure must
come from the source of the
trouble.
You must locate the headquar-
tiers of the disease germs, and cut
off their base of supplies. The
blood is saturated with them, and
they will set up their attacks on
the surface of the skin as long as
they remain in the blood, no mat
ter how much local treatment you
take.
A million gallons of local treat
ment applied to the surface of the
skin will not eliminate the germs
of the disease from the blood, and
until they are eliminated your
skin will never be free from the
itching and burning discomfort.
IF you want relief that is per-
manent, then take a treatment that
goes right to the seat of the trou-
bic and removes its cause. Such
a remedy is S. S. S., the reliable
old blood remedy purifier that so
thoroughly cleanses the blood that
every trace of disease germ is
routed out. and new supply of
rich red blood is sent coursing
through the veins.
S. S. S. has been used success
fully in some of the worst cases
of eczema and other skin trou-
bles, and it can be relied upon to
cleanse the blood of the last YES
tige of the disease. S. S. S. is
also a splendid tonic and system
builder. and it builds up and adds
new visor to the whole system.
Go to your drug store and get
a bottle of S. S. S. today and be-
Qln the right treatment for shin
diseases. Then write for free
medical advice about your own
case. Address Chief Medical Ad-
wiser, l07 Swift Laboratory, At
! lanta, Ga.-Ady.

do. Were we nervous? Undoubtedly
But it was not the nervousness of
cowardsce. rather was it the restless
ness of young blood. Our hands were
steady, our bayonets fixed. We ex-

Night came. The Germans were re-
leasing a gas wave at us. Perhaps
they noticed an unusual movement
behind the lines. and wished to annihi-
late us before we entered the battle.
But they failed. over the wire came
the order to put on our masks. Thus
were we baptized in this most in
human of all German war inventions.
Our masks were not perfect. The
deadly gas penetrated some and made
our eyest smart and water. But We

The District of Columbia should be
admitted into the Union as a sover-
eign State. with two Senators and a
Representative in Congress, in the
opinion of Congressman Richard OIL
ney, of Massachusetts,, who spoke at
George Washington University chapel
exercises yesterday.
1T is manifestly unfair, unjust, and
un-American," said Mr. Olney, "for
the people of the District to be de-
prVed OF the ballot merely because
the Federal government has its home
mere, The people of the District bear
the burdens of citizenship, and they
should share in the privileges Of full
citizenship.
There is no stimulus to the main
tenance OF free institutions like self
government. and self-government is
something the people of the District
don't know anything about.
Ihey cannot even vote for the
PRESIDENT and Vice President. al

PRESIDENTIAL elections have anything

Jeopardlzed when the people of tho

ernment. The people of the District
nave shown fine patriotism and a
remarkable heroism in their sacri-
noes and contributions during the
world war; and in return for the
responsibilities that they gladly
shoulder. they receive nothing but
thanks. They are governed by the
laws or the country. and they
should have a voice in making those
laws.

THIS STARTS THE STORY

In the summer of 1917, Mara
Botchkareva formed the Battalion
Of Death, a woman's fighting unit
in the Russian army, and thus .
peasant girl stepped into the in
ternational hall of fame. This v
lher story. In earlier installments
she told Of her childhood; Of the
brutaIities of her married life, her
attempt to commit suicide to es-
cape a cruel husband. and her final
success in evading him. She told
of her many molestations at the
hands OF officials. soldiers and how
she was trapped in a house OF
shame by promises Of work. She
escaped from this house but inn
mediately returned when the police
made advances to her instead OF
anording protection. In desperation
she attempted suicide a second
time. A man intervened. She grew
to like him and they lived together
by civil agreement. She lived hap
PLY with him for three years when
a revolutionist, a friend of her sec
'ond husband. sought refuge at
their home. The political refugee
and husband fed when discovered
by the authorities. They were
caught in their flight; Maria botch-
Kareya was arrested and question:
ed. She and herNhusband became
separated. She Travelled many
hundred miles to find him. she
located him in a prison and set out
to carry her appeal to the gov
ernor. She subjected herself TO
voluntary arrest that she might
accompany her husband to Siberia,
to which place he is exiled for four
years. En- route the party suffered
many hardships and she learned
astonishing workings of the code
of criminals. Arriving in Siberia
the husband was threatened with
further exile to the most desolate
of prison camps along the Arcuc
Ocean. Maria Botchkareya inter
ceded and had to deal with a hber-
tine governor. Her husband was
given his liberty, but the price was
that she was drugged and shamea
by the governor. She attempted
suicide by drinking poison, but was
revived. When the husband learned
of the outrage he attempted TO XIII
the governor, for which act he was
exiied to Amiga. The husband grew
to be a worthless gambler. In
rage he at one time hung ms
wife, but she was rescued In time
to save her life. Maria Botchka-
revs could not longer endure ms
brutality. Rumblings of the woriu
war reached far off siberia. Maria
decided to leave her husband ana
enlist. She was rejected because
she was a woman. She appealeu

Itching and Burning Eruptions

appreciate the real terrifying dis

orders.

pain that must be endured by the
afflicted. For the millions and

seem to burrow through the skin.

cause pain that is almost unen-
durable.
And the constant plea Of those
afflicted is the oft-repeated ques-
ton, How can find relief from
this constant torture? Not pal
Iiative, temporary relief that causes
ths.terrible itching to abate for
awhile, but real genuine relief that
shakes of the shackles Of the dis
ease and restores the skil 10 its
former healthy condition.
And temporary relief is the
most that Can be expected from
locsi treatment. such as ointments,
saves, lotions, etc. which is one
reason why these diseases seem to
hold on with such tenacity. 1t is
not because they are incurable. but
because they are improperly treat
ed, that they appear to be so stub
born and 50 difficult to cure.
The fact is they ,are misnamed,
and therefore, improperly treated.
Because the trouble attacks the
skin and all the pain and discom-
tort Is confined to the surface of
the, skin. these disorders are
called Skin diseases" But the
real cause is a disease germ in the
blood. which multiplies by the
million, and sets up an irritation in
some tender location Of the deli
cate skia.
