along newer help in the old reliable
way-help that eases painful mis-
cry, lessons coughing, loosens
phlegm, soothes chest rawness-so

Pershing Marks

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. (UPD-
General of the armies John J. Per-
shing celebrated his oath birthday
anniversary Wednesday and the
best gift of all was the newspaper
headlines sounding the approaching
defeat of Germany.
Pershing, who unsuccessfully ad-
vocated unconditional surrender of
Germany when he led the AEF in
1913, was cheered by the knowledge
that Allied soldiers already were on
German oil and would drive this
time to complete occupation of the
Reich.
The day was really a double an
niversary for General Pershing. 1t
was 26 years ago that his forces
broke through the st. Mihiel front
in push that eliminated in the
German retreat two months later.

The glass was originally in the
form of bottles and the bottles
neatly fitted in cases. The cases
in turn were in the rear of a Man

splattered the street.
