CALL FROM FRANCE
FOR U. S. TO HASTEN
AID TO THE ALLIES
WASHINGTON, May 1—“ I look for
'vard to the future with absolute con
fidence. notwithstanding the enormous
'difficulties of the moment, and provided
every one understands clearly his duty
toward our common cause, which is
that of the liberty of the world. And
your duty, American, is to makej
haste."
This message was brought to the
United States by M. De Billy, Deputy
French High Comissioner. who has just
returned'from France.
M. De Billyy’ formal statment fol
lows :
‘•As I set foot again on American
soil, after having been France dur
ing those tragical days of the end of
March and the beginning of April, 1
trust you will understand that m/
first feeling should be a feeling of
pride for my country.
“Some people here were inclined to
believe that after such a long war,
and so many losses, the French army
was entirely exhausted, and many were
incredulous when the High Commis
sioner. on his return from France last
January, said that morally as well as
materially the French army had never
been in more splendid condition. This
last battle has proved to the world
and mostly to our enemies, how well I
founded this opinion was. What the.
French army has een doing on the
whole front and what it is still doing
has made us more proud than ever
of being French.
“Secondly. I want to tell you waht
high opinion all the French officers
who have seen your boys in the
trenches have expressed of the Amer
ican men and soldiers. 1 heard this
unanimous praise from the command
ers of our armies, as well as from the
officers of lower rank, neighbors of;
your battalions on the battle line, and ;
I am very happy to bring you this i
message from France.
“Thirdly. 1 want t o express my ap
preciation of the two great steps taken
by the United States in this climax of
the war. Your people have always
been in favor of a unity of command i
clearly understanding that the weak
ness of a coalition like ours '.ays pre
cisely in the absence of unity. When.
uder the pressure of circumstances, it
became apparent to all that our lack of
co-ordination was the only cause of
what came near being a serious set
back. the representatives of the Unit
ed States did more than any one else
to help overcome all difficulties and
to realize a strong co-ordination in
the hands of a man in whom all the
armies have confidence
“And next to that gre t service to
the cause was the action of General
Pershing, when he came to Gen. Foch
and put all his troops at his disposal,
eager only that the Americans should
play their part in the greatest haft’
of the war. This went to the heart of
every Frenchman, as well as to the
hearts of the French army. No doubt!
your highly spirited and well trained
men have given and will give more
and more a precious help to the Al
lied armies on the western front.
"I have already used the same lan ,
guage when T had the honor of send-
Inga message, in November, 1917, to
the meeting of the American Historical |
Association in Philadelphia. I saidj
then: ‘lt is the right thing for the;
United States to prepare a very strong j
army for 1919 and 1920. but at the
same time the effort, necessary for
1918, must be made at once, for a
big German drive, if successful in the
spring of 1918, might render abac-,
lutely useless the preparations in
course of development for the follow
ing years.’ These words were true
even than I supposed.
“The collapse of Russia has allowed
Germany to bring new troops to the
western front. They are now out '
numbering the Allies. The questio i
of man power on our side is thus be i
coming the vital point. Consequently I
the training of American troops an •
their transporation to the other sid ■
roust be carried out on a scale unfor
seen a few month ago, and unpre I
cedented.
’Meanwhile man power is not th i
only force to be transported. To fight
a battle a great deal of war mateial
is needed: Guns, powder, explosive
ammunition, air planes, motor truck
coal, gasoline, lubricants. Your army
over there needs them. So do the
British and French armies—largely '
dependent on the United States.
“Do you realize that you have not
ships enough to transport all the men
necessary? Do your shipyards turn
ou all the ships they might? This is
another duty as important as that of
raising and sending over men. Ev
ery shap launched is a cotnribution to
the success of a war which is yous as
it is ours. I
“The French and British armies are

Will Irwin, the well-known war correspondent, just back from
France, Italy and Switzerland, feels the Germans will try to invade
France through Switzerland. This has been considered a possibility
since the beginning of the war. The course of invasion is indicated on
the map by the crossed lines of railways. There are three lines of rail
ways in Germany beginning at Strassburg, Freidburg and Stuttgart,
which connect with Swiss lines that run on to the French border. The
Germans would, of course, seize th) lines for their invasion. If they
marched their soldiers they would fellow wagon roads alongside the
railways. But the railroads must be used for their enormous quantities
of munitions and equipment. While hte Swiss will fight they will be
wiped out by the thousands, as were the Belgians. The Germans would
hope to flank the great fortification at Belfort behind the French lines.
er we are numerically Inferior to our
enemies when hit hard. The situa
tion is serious. We are fighting to
gether German militarism, an autoc
racy which wants to master the whole
world, os it is mastering unfortunate
Russia. Our failure to defeat our en
emy would be a severe blow to th'
independence of the United States, '>'>
well as to that of France and of Great
Britain.
"Send at once as many men as you
can, build as many ships as your ship
jards can turn out, and we will, all
together, win the war.
In reply to the questions, M. De
Billy said that the aircraft production
ii> FratH '' is good, that the Allies have
a superiority of aircraft, but that the
United States can render much valu
; i lc help by sending across the Atlan
tie all the machiens possible within
the shortest practicable time.
U ' -aid that the Germans have many
good aii planes and are straining every
nerve to build more. He is confident
the enemy will not be able to catch
up with the Allies and the United
States, but feels that haste is neces
sary all along the line, and that noth
ing can be safely taken for granted.

PRESCRIBE CiIOMEL?
Os all medicines in the world, doc
tors prescribe calomel most often and
depend upon it most universally. There
must be a good and sufficient reason —
what is it?
If you will study the doctors’ books
you will find that the medical authori
ties prescribe calomel for almost every
disease. The reason is that calomel is
the greatest and only thorough system
purifier. It makes the liver active,
drives out the poisons from the stom
ach, bowels and kidneys and thereby
purifies the blood. Calomel puts the
entire system in the most favorable
condition for nature to exercise her
recuperative power. Your doctor will
tell you that drugs merely assist na
ture. TJiat is why he prescribes calo
mel so often.
The new kind of calomel called “Cal
otabs,” is refined and purified from all
of the nauseating and dangerous quali
ties of the old style calomel and is rap
idly taking its place, for it is more ef
fective than the old style calomel as *
liver-cleanser and system-purifier. One
Calotab at bedtime, with a swallow’ o*
water —that’s all. No nausea, nor the
slightest unpleasantness. Next morning
you awake feeling fine—with a hearty
appetite for breakfast. Eat w’hat you
please—fruits, acids or anything. No
restrictions of habit or diet.
Calotabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages, price thirty-five cents.
Recommended and guaranteed by drug
gists everywhere. Your money back if
you are not delighted. adv

Sylacauga, Ala. "This is a true
statement as to the
value of Dr. Pierce’s
medicines. I used one
of his great remedies
in my own family with
good results, namely,
‘Golden Medical Dis
covery,’ and found it
to bo all it is claimed
to be. There is no
medicine that will
come as near doing
what it is claimed for
■foil
it; there’s no praise too high for the
‘Discovery.’ W. H. Jolly, Box “15.
Atlanta. Georgia. —" I suffered for
two years with an enlarged gland on the
right side of my neck. I tried several
doctors and they told me I would have to
have the gland taken out, but a friend of
mine advised me to try Doctor Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery and after tak
ing ten bottles my neck is entirely well
and I not only recommend it to my friends
but to every one I see in the condition
that I was. I feel as though I can never
be thankful enough for what this medi
cine has done for me. ” Mrs. Della
