Relief Supplies Await Shipment

Washington, D. C., June 7-The Department of State yesterday re- leased the following statement to the press.
 "A communication from the Jap anese Government was received by the United States Government on May 10, 1914, through Swiss Gov ernment channels, in which the Japanese Government offered to send to a Soviet port, at regular intervals, a Japanese ship to pick up relief supplies, which were ship ped to Vladivostok last fall, and ad- ditional relief supplies and mail in- tended for distribution to Allied nationals interned in the Far East, which would be sent subsequently, via Soviet territory with the CO., operation of the Soviet Govern ment, and to transport them to Ja- pan. It was of course necessary to consult the Soviet Government in the matter. That Government has kindly expressed it's willingness to cooperate and has named a conven- tent Soviet Pacific port adjacent to Vladivostok where the relief SUD- plies already on Soviet territory may be picked up by Japanese ship.

Indians in War Paint Led Paratroop Invasion

ENGLAND - "The Filthy Thirteen"-a group of American Indians in full war paint-were among the first paratroopers to go into action when the Allies historic Second Front opened against Nazi Germany.
 The Indians were members of an Engineers demolition unit, the Braves" and wore red and black war paint with their heads shaved except for scalp locks. In training they had taken their name, the "Filthy Thirteen"
 In the initial assault on western Europe, one of the Indians, a full blooded Yaqui, carried 180 pounds on his 183-pound frame.

ON THE NORMANDY BEACH HEAD:

The enemy appears to have checked temporarily the general southward flow of the Allies; in all areas the fighting has been termed fluid"
 In the Cherbourg Peninsula, the American plan appears to aim at the cutting off of this region, not the storming of it. Reports claim that 2,00O Germans are dead, 12,- 900 wounded and 5000 have been taken prisoners.
 At Caumont, Villers-Bocage, Til- ly-sur-Seulles and Balerny, four German armored divisions (guess- ed to have approximately 800 tanks) launched a series of coun- ter-attacks, marking the heaviest armored battle of the war in Vest ern Europe. In pitched conflict with Panzer grenadiers and regu- lar infantry, the Americans at the extreme right of the Allied line gave up Montebourg and Tilly-sur- Seulles. Carentan fell again to the Allies.
 British troops are opposed by the Schutzstaffel, remnant of the "Elite Guard" composed of the 18th, 21st and Lehr Panzer Divi- sions. In the Caen Sector, the mightiest cannonade of the invas- ion, spontaneously referred to as the Monty Barrage," opened up on the newly arrived German troops. Troarn, at the Allies left wing, was regained by the foe.
 At the present time, the German navy is attacking Hanks of seaborne supply lines, is more active than the Luftwaffe. Our aerial targets were Aunay-sur-Odun, Falaise, Bire, Vimoutiers and Flers, the towns through which German sup plies are flowing. / Guerrilla activity in Belgium as we'll as in France increases as AL giers warns the Germans that it is taking necessary counter-mea- sures.

o. For what kind of wound is the Purple Heart awarded? And are civilians entitled to wear it?
 A. The Purple Heart, establish ed by Gen. George Washington dur ing the American Revolution and revived by WD Gen. Orders No. 3, P, Feb. 1882, is awarded to members of the armed forces who are wounded in action against an enemy of the U. s. or as a direct result of an act of an enemy, pro- vided that the wound necessitates treatment by a medical officer. The Purple Heart itself is awarded for the first wound and an Oak Leaf Cluster for each succeeding wound.

LethaI Gases Halt
Hunt for Is Dead
In Mine Explosion

BY the Associated Press.
SHINNSTON, w. Va, Mar. 25.-
An underground fire generating
clouds Of poisonous and explosive
gases barred the way tonight to the
bodies of 16 men who died in a
shattering early morning mine blast
while they were vainly trying to
stop the blaze.
Fighting the flames, which broke
out In the No. 4 mine of the Kath-
crime Coal Co., the Is were caught
by terrific explosion that tore
up surface area of half an acre.
All hope was abandoned for the
men and tonight crews began seal
ing the mine to extinguish the un-
derground blaze. Jesse Redyard,
State mine chief, said it would be
five or six weeks before crews could
be sent into the mine to recover the
bodies.
The death toll had been placed at
Is, but John Hogue, mine superin-
tendent, said a recheck had estab-
lished that 16 had perished in the
explosion.
Work crews were equipped to
combat the deadly carbon monoxide
generated by the fire, but highly
explosive methane gas also filled
the entryways. Watchers also were
fearful of another explosion.
The fire broke out late last night
$500 feet underground in the main.
entryway of the newly-opened mine
near this Central West Virginia
town. Seventy-five miners on duty
came out safely before the salvage
crew went in.
Shortly before dawn a sheet of
flame shot out of the mine shaft
flame so fierce that 1t charred
telephone poles, partly melted steel
railroad cars and burned up auto
mobiles $50 feet away.
The blast spewed rock, slate and
other debris over wide area.
Flames licked out of the entry for
some time after the blast and
smoke still seeped from the OPEN
ing tonight.

THESE two important steps
may help you to overcome
Sour Stomach Jerky Nerves
Loss Of Appetite Underweight
Digestive Complaints Weakness
Poor Complexion
Getting value out Of the food you eat
you eat 500 or 1000 pounds yearly.
TO do this. scientists say, you must
nave an adequate supply Of natural
stomach digestive juices and rich, red
blood must be present.
Improper diet, overwork, undue wor-
sies, colds, the flu or other illness often
!mpalrs the stomach's digestive func-
tions and reduces the red-blood strength.
A person who is operating on only g
70 to 1870 healthy blood volume or a
stomach digestive capacity Of only 50
to 500 normal is severely handicapped.
Undigested food sours, causes gas
nloating. fails to supply the necessary
body energy. tissue repair II. often re-
sulttng in nervousness and loss Of energy.
So with ample stomach digestive juices
PLUS RICH, RED-BLOOD you should
enjoy that sense OF well-being which de-
notes physical fitness mental alert
ness!
If you are subject to poor digestion or
suspect deficient red-blood as the cause
Of your trouble, yet have no organic
complication or focal infection, SSS
Tonic may be just what you need as 1t
Is especially & signed ~ to promote the
flow OF VITAL DIGESTIVE JUICES in
the stomach and (2) to build-up BLOOD
STRENGTH when deficient.
These two important results enable
you to enjoy the food you do eat :. to
make use Of 1t as Nature intended. Thus
you may get new vitality pep be-
come animated :. more attractivel
Build Sturdy Health
and Help America Win
Thousands and thousands of users have
testified to the benefits SSS Tonic has
brought to them and scientific research
shows that 1t gets results-that's why so
many say "SSS Tonic builds sturdy health
makes you feel like yourself again" At
