Gargle every hours
In time of sickness the gargle every two hours

In time of normal health, however, the
night and morning gargle will be sufficient to

The most convincing proof of Listerine's germ.
icidal strength is its ability to kill Staphylococ-
Gus Aureus (pus) and Bacillus Typhosus (ty-
phoid) germs in counts ranging to zoo, 100000

resistant to germicidal action and is therefore
specified as the germ by which all germicides
are tested.

l. NEVER make the mistake Of underesti-
mating the menace Of cold or sore throat.
Either may develop into serious or fatal com"
plications. You can probably recall such
case among your friends. Statistics show that
every year respiratory diseases cause more
than millior9 deaths.
At the first sign of trouble, gargIe every two
hours with full strength Listerine, the safe.
healing antiseptic, and call your physician. If
the irritation is mild, Listerine will frequently
check it. If it is not, the doctor will diagnose
the real trouble and treat it properly.
Reduces mouth germs 1896
Against ordinary colds and sore throat, full
strength Listerine is amazingly effective. That
is because it is fatal to all germs which cause
such infection. Kills them by millions in IS
seconds, the fastest killing time accurately
recorded by science.
Repeated tests show that full strength Lis.
terine actually reduces the number of germs

Every member Of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces, from the front line
to the base ports. was straining every
nerve. Extraordinary efforts were ex-
erted by the entire services of supply
to meet the enormous demands. OBJ

It was this spirit Of determination
animating every member of the A. E. F.
that made it impossible for the enemy
to maintain the struggle until 1919.
Now that the end was in prospect
everybody was in much better mood.
M Clemenceau was in fine humor when
I saw him in Paris october % and was
profuse in his compliments on the sue
cess Of our Army. The object of my
visit was to urge his assistance in OBJ
tanning more horses for our artillery,
which was almost tmmobile. The
French had furnished us 100 900 horses,
but they were inferior and were rapidly
used up. M. Clemenceau hesitated,
however, to make q further requisition
now that we appeared to be nearing the
end of the war.

replied that aS Il was q matter Oi
greater concern TO both Great Britain
and France than to the United States
and that as their armies had been en-
gagged longer and had suffered more
than ours, I thought 1t appropriate FOL
Sir Douglas FIaig and Gen. Petain tc
express their views first.
Haig Gives His Views.
Marshal Haig said in substance thai
the German Army was far from being
disintegrated and was still capable 81
withdrawing to q shorter front and
making stand against equal or greater
forces. On the other hand, the allies
were pretty well exhausted. The tota,
shortage of men for the British and
French Armies, he said, was about
100000 each, with none available Il
fill the gaps. The American Army, HI
further said, was not yet complete, anc
some time must eiapse before 1t woulC
be large enough to relieve the diminish
ing allied armies. He thought the
terms should be such that the German'
would not hesitate to accept them.
He then proposed immediate and
complete evacuation Of invaded Belgian
and French territory: occupation By
the allies of Alsace, Lorraine and thu
fortresseS Of Metz and Strassbourg
restitution of all rolling stock seized b,
the Germans in France and Belgium
or its equivalent and repatriation Of in.
habitants of invaded territory.
These conditions, Sir Douglas point
ed out would place US on the German
frontier in case OF q renewal OF hostil.
tiles, and we could carry on the wal
in German territory. The armistic,
would give the Americans time to builC
up their army. He added: III hostil'
tiles should be resumed, would prefer
to find the Germans intrenched behinc
them on the right bank Of the Rhine.
Marshal Foch then said
at cannot be said that the German
Army is not defeated. Although we are
not able to tell its exact condition. still
we are dealing with an army that has
been pounded every day for three
months, an army that is now losing or
front of 400 kilometers. that since
July Is has lost more than 250,00(
prisoners and 1000 guns, an army that
Is physically and morally thoroughly
beaten.
certainly the allied armies are moi
new, but victorious armies are never
fresh. In this matter the question Il
relative; the German armies are fal
more exhausted than ours. Certainly
the British and French Armies are
tired; certainly the American Army !!
young army, but it Is full Of idealisN
and strength and ardor. It has already
won victories and Is now on the eve o.
another victory, and nothing givec
wings to an army like victory.

'Have been laid up with grip since
Saturday"
Although Marshal Foch had told me
some days before that if his opinion
should be asked regarding the terms of
an armistice he expected to call the
commanders in chief together and get
their views, had not made detailed
study Of the terms that should be i'm
posed, especially as 1 had expected
some word from washington OF the
subject.
Having discussed the question In q
general way with the chief Of staff, Nc
Andrew; the chief of operations, Fox
Conner, and the judge advocate, Bethel,
they were directed to meet me at Sen
lis, and we went over the details briefly
before the conference.
Fourteen Points Read.
At the opening Of the conference
Marshal Foch said in substance: You
are doubtless aware that the Germans
are negotiating for an armistice
through the intermediary of the Amef-
lean Government and declare them
selves ready to accept the IA points OF
President Wilson as basis"
He went on to say that he had called
