TANKS USED AS SHIELDS

Paris.—Damaged tanks, abandoned
by the French when the Germans
made their late spring drive, were
used as shields behind which German
machine gunners opposed the Ameri

and Solssons; according to Corp. Royal
Thurver of Reedsburg, Wis.
"They got behind these old up
turned tanks, a number of which I
sow, and tried to hold us up after we
ciossed the Vesle," said Thurver.
"But, of course, it was only a ques
tion of time until we worked our way
around them and then the German
machine gunners decided tjiey were
through with the war. They invaria

Thurver was shot in the chest and

of the tanks.

Boys to Try Their Metal.
Washington. — Successful British
operations on the.Valenciennes front
took on new Importance to officers
here in the light of the diplomatic situ
ation. Field Marshal Haig's armies
are striking savagely at the hinge of
the present Herman line of resistance,
and the progress already made is
thought by officers here to make it
certain that the German retirement,
both in Belgium and in France, will
have to be resumed without delay.
South of the new British wedge the
French are keeping continuous pres
sure against the enemy along the Oise
Serre front, making it difficult for the
German commanders to disengage
their forces from this most exposed
sector of their lines.
In view of the existing military situ
ation, officers pointed out that every
day was seeing the allied tactical su
periority increased, even as their su
periority in man and gun power is in
creasing. Since President Wilson has
already pointed out to the German
authorities that the safeguarding and
guaranteeing of that superiority must
be --the basis of any armistice agree
ment, a proposition the German lead
ers accepted with the statement that
"standard of military power in the
field" must-of necessity govern such
terms, it is clear that the conditions
of the armistice to be formulated
grow increudntij hard on ihe enemy
each day. The advantages In position
derived from the latest British thrust,
officers said, certainly will not be over
looked in estimating the situation of
the opposing forces.
More than ever officers are con
vinced that new operations on a large
scale are impending on the front and
that General Pershing's two aggres
sive, young armies soon will try their
mettle aguin. There are many minor
happenings that seem to indicate to
these observers that a smashing blow
is in preparation,, although the extent
or object of It is only a matter of
speculation.
BRITONS GREET WILSON'S REPLY
Strongest Language Ever Addressed by
One Nation to Another.
London.—The popular comment on
the president's note here is that it con
tains the strongest language ever ad
dressed by the head of one great na
tion to another in modern times. The
note is welcomed, first bécaues it
brings matters to a new state; further
proceedings, if there are to be fur
ther proceedings, will be in the hands
of all the governments interested.
Hitherto, so far as the public knows,
the natioRs associated with the United
States, and which have more at stake,
perhaps, than has the United States,
have been onlookers to tlie correspon
dence.
The note is welcomed, secondly, be
cause it promises to bring the season
of discussion -to an end altogether, one
way or the other.

Within ten minutes after an appli

single trace of dandrufT or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a few
weeks' use, when you see new hair, fine

new hair—growing all over the scalp.
A Uttle Danderine immediately dou
bles the beauty of your hair. No dif

scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Dan

yonr hair, taking one small strand at a

will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have

Get a small bottle of Knowlton's

Tiiese insects, which work devasta

Get New Kidneys!
The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in th6
Bystem, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges
tion; irritation, or even stone in the blad
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
id to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organa start taking
Gold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
It is the pure, original Haarlem Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap
suies each day will keep yon toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store, and
if it does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. Be
sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.
