THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND 20N-TELEGRAJL THURSDAY, SEPT. 6, 1918.

YEAR'S RECORD OF U. S. FORCE IS COMMENDED Corp. Harry McLear of Richmond in Division Praised for Bravery on Fronts. Mrs. Oeorge McLear Is In receipt of nn Interesting letter written by Major General Charles T. Menohe. of the United States Army, to the officers and men of the 42d Headquarters division, American Expeditionary Forces In France. .The letter which is given in full, was Bent to Mrs. McLear by her eon Corporal Harry McLear, who is a member of the 42d Division. This is the first definite news of their son's location that has been received by the McLear family. He stated that he was well, and had the "Huns on the run." . The letter to the division follows: "Headquarters 42d Division. "American Expeditionary Forces, "France. August 13, 1918. "To Officers and Men of the 42d Division: "A year has elapsed since the formation of your organization. It Is, therefore, fitting to consider what you have accomplished as a combat division, and what you should prepare to accomplish in the future. "Your first elements entered the trenches in Lorraine on February 21.' You served on that front for 110 days You were the first American division to hold a divisional sector, and when you left the sector June 21, you had served continuously as a division in the trenches for a longer time than any. other American division. Although you entered the sector without experience of actual warfare, you so conducted yourselves as to win the respect and affection of the French

veterans with whom you foi.ght. Under gas and bombardments, in raids. In patrols. In the heat of hanl to hand combat, and In the long dull hours of trench routine so trying to a soldier's spirit, you bore yourselves in a manner worthy of the traditions of your country. ."You were withdrawn from Lorraine and moved immediately to the Champagne front where during the .critical days from July 14 to July 18 you had the honor of being the only American division to fight In General Gouraud's army which so gloriously obeyed his order, 'We will stand or die," and by its firm defense cruRhed tho German assault and made possible the offensive of July 18 to the west of Rheims. From Champagne you were called to take part in exploiting the success north of the Marne. Fresh from the battle before Chalons, you were thrown against the picked troops of Germany. For eight consecutive days you attacked skillfully prepared positions. You captured great stores of arms and munitions. You forced the crossing of the Orucq. You took Hill 212. Sergy, Meurcy, Ferme, and SerKines by assault. You drove the enemy Including an Imperial Guard division, before you for a depth of fifteen kilometers. When ypur Infantry was relieved, it was in full pursuit of the retreating Germans, and your artillery continued to progress and support another American division in the advance to tho Vesle. For your services in Lorraine, your division was formerly commended in General Orders by the French Army Corps under which you served. For

your services In Champagne, your assembled officers received the personal thanks and commendadibn of General Gouraud himself. For your services on the Ourcq your division was officially complimented in a letter from the commanding general, 1st Army Corps, of July 23, 1918. To your success all ranks and all services have contributed, and I desire to express to every man in the command my appreciation of his devoted and courageous effort. However, our position places a burden of responsibility upon us which we must strive to bear steadily forward without faltering. To our comrades who have fallen, we owe the sacred obligation of maintaining the reputation which they died to establish. The influence of our performance upon our enemies cannot be overestimated for we were one of the first divisions sent from our country to France to show the world that Americans can fight. Hard battles and long campaigns He before us. Only by ceaseless vigilance

and tireless preparation can we fit

ourselves ror tnem. i urge you, therefore, to approach the future with confidence but above all with firm determination that so far as it is within

your power wou will spare no effort whether in training or in combat to

maintain the record of our division and the honor of our country. CHARLES T. MEXOHER, Major General U, S. Army.

FRENCH SEE END OF WAR WITH COMING OF YANKEE SOLDIERS

"One of the train coaches over here could easily be put inside o le of our

American street . cars," said Private Elmer J. Berg In a letter received yesterday by his mother, Mrs, Joseph Berg, of 812 North G street. "And the coaches are marked 16 horses or 40 men, so you see traveling over here is not like the U. S. way. ; "I am feelig fine; the weather is fine. We only stayed at our first stop one week, then they gave us three days' rations and started us on oui way. "The other day we had to get out and clear four cars that had piled up on the track. They do not know what a wreck train is here. Use an engine

ana a large rope. i "There are a number of German prisoners here and when they pass it I

makes a fellow eager for revenge. They look and act just as our .home papers tell, like a tribe of savage beasts. They do not have the pride and self respect that our boys have. I have seen many different kinds of soldiers and none of them can compete with the Yanks in manner or in physical build. They are surely welcomed by the French peop'.e. They think the coming of the Yanks is the coming of the end of the war. They are right i "The people here think that we will eat Christmas dinner in the U. S. This is about all for this time. Wilt have lots to tell you when I get home."

Have Been Up to Front and Back Again," Writes Elmer Ribkee from France

"They are getting so many more men over now that I think I will have a little ret," wrote Elmer Ribkee, In a letter received recently by his sister, Miss Bessie Ribkee, 1018 North H street. "I will try and drop you a few lines to let you know that I am in the best of health. I hope this letter finds you all the same. "I have been up to the front and back again Bince I wrote you last. I have been pretty lucky so far I guess, and still feel that way. "I don't know whether you are getting my mail or not, so I won't write much this time. I have not got any mail yet and it seems like I have been over here for a year."

TO RELIEVE CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HEAD NOISES Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness, or who are growing hard of hearing and have head noises, will be glad to know that this distressing affliction can usually be successfully treated at home by an internal medicine that in many instances has effected complete relief after other treatments have failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing restored to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven or eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know of someone who is troubled, with

neaa noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. The prescription can be prepared at home and is made as follows:

Secure from your druggist 1 oz. Parmint (Double Strength). Take this home and add to it pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times a day. Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are nearly always quick and effective Every person who has catarrh in any form, or distressing rumbling, hissing sounds in their ears, should give this recipe a trial.
