REDS PERIL POLAND;
VOLUNTEERS ARE ASKED
Girls Join the Army as Red Cross
Forces and Push Ahead
Students Rally.

Warsaw, July Glowing to the crit
ical condition of the country, vOlun-
teers for active service in the army
are offering themselves from every
side.
They include school and university
teachers, students, boy scouts, civil
servants and ministerial employees
whose occupations excuse them from
military service. The students are en-
listing in such numbers that the War
saw universities have been closed.
Stirred by the appeal of the ma
tional council of defense for volun-
teers, hundreds of girls and women
soldiers, with women officers, paraded
the streets singing. and for the first
time Warsaw saw attachments OF fe-
male recruits under the guidance OF
women officers marching to the bar
racks.
Many of the recruits were strong
young girls in short skirts and shirt
waists with braided hair hanging down
their backs. The sight Of female re-
cruits aroused enthusiasm everywhere
along the principal streets. Mixed
with the girl recruits were women OF
from twenty-five to thirty years who
swung parasols, purses and market
packages in arms which will soon car
ry rifles.
The women's battalions will be used
chiefly for guard duty in garrisons
and food depots and as train escorts,
thus relieving men for the front lines.

It sends its harmful acids and gases all
over the body, instead Of health and
strength. Day and night this ceaseless dam
age goes on. No matter how strong, its
victim cannot long withstand the health
destroying effects of an acid stomach.
Good news for millions of sufferers.
Chemists have found sure remedy-one
that takes the acid up and carries it out
of the body; of course, when the cause is
removed, the sufferer gets well.
Bloating, Indigestion, sour, acid, gassy

proven by over half a million ailing folks
who have taken EATONIC with wonder
