FRENCH CAVALRY IS PRAISED FOR ACTION AGAINST BULGARS

(By Associated Presi.) PARIS. Wednesday, Oct. 2. High praise is given the French cavalry forces which have been operating in the Macedonian campaign co-operation

with the Serbians, in the official state

ment issued at the war office. It reads:

"The role played by the French cavalry in the eastern theatre of the war was particularly brilliant in the fighting which preceded the signing of the armistice between the allies and Bulgaria. "Prllep was first entered by these units September 23. In that city they took Important material and participated with remarkable vigor with the Infantry in the combats with the enemy rear guards. They took part in the operations about Velses and penetrated the strongly held interior lines of the enemy there. They then advanced along the road toward Uskub, which was taken In a violent combat. ' There they fought on foot and maintained their positions in spite of fur

ious counter atacks by Bulgarian ele

ments. "During these operations which

were conducted with the greatest audacity, they captured 400 prisoners, of whom 200 were Germans; Beven pieces of heavy artillery and a large quantity of war materials, including valuable munitions which had been placed ' on trains to be taken to the central

empires. "Measures nrovided for in the arm

lstlce between the Bulgarians and the

allies are in the course of being carried out." Occupation of Bulgaria by allied troops Is progressing normally, according to Marcel Hutln of the Echo de Paris. Bulgarian troops resist at certain points, he says, but submit as soon as

they are apprised or tne raci ini aa armistice has been signed. German troops wbjch have been fighting In Macedonia are moving northward and appear to be organising a defensive line along the Danube. They have alredy fortified the Rumanian bank of the river and it appears that communications between Sofia and Constantinople have already been cut.

No Peace Until Allies Enter Germans, U rger Rumanian Diplomat

General Allenby's army in Palestine is hastening northward along the rail line that leads to Damasous and tbenca to Aleppo. When the latter city is captured the only rail line leading from Constantinople into Mesopotamia will be cut at a vital point. The Turkish Mesopotamian army will be isolated. It will be unabe to gather supplies from any source It will be compelled to surrender. The destrucion of the Turkish Mesopotamian army, following closely on the heels of the loss to Turkey of her Paestine armies, would quickly end the war. It would rob Turkey already practically cut off from Germany, of the most of her fighting men. It would destroy Turk morale. With allied armies in full control of Turkey in Asia east of Aleppo the German "Hamburg to Persian Gulf" dream, already rudely disturbed by the defection of Bulgaria, would be forever e hattered.

AMERICAN TROOPS HOLD RUSS TOWN

(By Associated Press) ARCHANGEL, Tuesday, Ot. 1. American troops now hold the farthest point south reached by any of the allied forces in the advance southward from Archangel. This point Is a small village 35 miles south of Shenketrsk, 300 moles southeast of Archangel on the river Vaga. The stronghold of Velsk is only 40 miles away.

Send Clothing of Boys "Over There to People of Occupied Territory

Clothing- new, clean, practical and warm clothing Is being showered into the rooms of the Belgian relief headquarters by the armfuls, and even by the wagon load, with a response that even the most optimistic scarcely expected, stated Mrs. W. L. Morgan, who Is in charge, Thursday morning. All that has come has been freshly washed and pressed so that it is in as good condition as though the garments were being sent to members of one's personal family. Many women are bringing in the civilian clothing of their sons who have gone into service. One donation was received Thursday morning, of two good hand-made quilts and another donation of a pair of new woolen blankets, sheeting, pillow cases, and outing flannel direct from the dry goods store. Vaile schoolwas the first to send In their collected donations, and they bad such large quantities that W. H. Romey sent one of the large furniture trucks after the load, and the

truck was not only filled but heaped up with the bundles. Boys from the manual training department of High school have been sent over to the rooms to prepare the boxes for shipping the garments, and have proved of greatest assistance. Those in the rooms Thursday, were Mrs. Hairy Personette, Mrs. Fred Lahrman, Mrs. Charles Smith and Miss Bessie Whitridge.

Save Plenty of Seed Corn S rterisnce of 1927 Should be a 5i Lesson to Ad B P. G. HOLDEN

All VUST your seed corn before It freezes.

Hang it in the attic or upstairs room wnere tnere is a rree cm culatlon of air. Profit by the lesson of 1917 and save enough seed corn each year

:o protect yourself if the next seuson's crop falls to mature. Don't get caught again without seed corn. Always save enough seed to lost two years. Remember, the next corn crop may be a total or partial failure and yoti nay not be able to save any good seed from It. It always pays to have good seed corn to sell to your neighbors. If your surplus is not needed for

seed it is not wusted. It always has a market value or may be fed to stock. If it is needed as seed It will be worth many times its market value as grain. To save plenty of good 6eed corn Is always good business. It Is patriotic. It is our duty to ourselves, our com munity and our country. Crop reports Indicate that. If conditions between now and harvest time are favorable, this year's corn crop will be about normal. But, because of the serious seed corn situation last Spring, there Is danger that some of the corn may have been grown from Imported seed and either will not mature before frost or will produce a yield Inferior in both quantity and quality. Because of killing frosts in Oci tober, the seed corn situation last Spring was so 6erIous as to cause na tlon-wide alarm. The TJ. S. Department of Agriculture, state officials, agricultural colleges, county agents, newspapers, bankers, business men and farmers were arouBed. Campaign were conducted to test seed corn an locate every good ear of home grown seed. , v The result has been gratifying, bt the expense must have reached Into the millions of dollars. In some localities it 'was necessary to import seed because the 1017 crop did not mature and not sufficient seed corn of the 1916 crop has been saved. This experience should prove a

y, S. FORCE Continued From Page One. Although last night was frosty and the American soldiers were chilled,

tired and wet, they displayed keen

spirit all along the line. In -every trench they were as full of energy and determination as on the first day of the battle. Engineer battalions have done good work on the roads. Commissary trains are moving forward steadily and rations are reaching the men in the most advanced positions. Anticipating sharp fall weather the staff ordered sleeveless leather coats issued to the greater part of the men at the front. These coats are lined with felt end are worn over the uniforms. They keep out the wind and turn the rain. They have proven to be one of the most popular articles of

wear with the men. The spirit of the men in this battle is demonstrated by that shown by those in the Argonne forest. Thii is the last place in the battle area to dry out and is always gloomy in the depth of the wood. Fighting has gone on there with the same stubbofness which characterized the first day s effort. Machine gunners were left behind by the Germans to defend the main body and there has been some great rough and tumble fighting in the forest. -Take Electric Plant. Much booty has fallen into the hands of the Americans, including an electric power station at Varennes. It is estimated that it must have cost $20,000 to equip this plant with water power. The Germans left so hurriedly that they did not damage the machinery and the Americans are using it. Americans are also utilizing miles of telephone wire and some central exchange material which had been left In position by the retiring enemy. The latest summary of the material captured shows 120 guns cf all cali

bre; 750 trench mortars; 300 machine guns; 100 anti-tank guns; thousands of shells and hundreds of thousands of rounds of small arm ammunition. East of Verdun and about Douamont there was a heavy shell fire maintained by the enemy today. In a minor engagement in the Woevre sector American forces captured thirty prisoners. See Hard Fighting. American regiments fighting in'the Hindenburg line along this sector of the front have seen some of the hardest fighting of the war. It was a furious, desperate struggle into which they plunged. They fought day and night in groups and single-handed, in and out of shell holes. They showed gallantry, self sacrifice and devotion

to duty unsurpassed by any other troops. From the instant they leaped from their trenches they ran into snipers and hordes of machine guns. German

infantrymen, spurred on by their officers, stood up before them offering hand to hand combat. Some of the stories of the men who fought tell of the terrific nature. of the struggle. One Brooklyn regiment took and re-took a position known as the "Knoll" three times. The battle swung back and forth with the men so close to each other that rifle butts were just as effective as anything elae. On the first assault the Americans rushed forward and suddenly met masses of machine guns, which were camouflaged and held their fire until the Americans were close upon them. The Americans went right on and were on top of the guns before they began firing. The Germans did not

continue their murderous work long. A dash, a leap, a flash of a bayonet and a stab of flame from a rifle and one nest after another was silenced and the Americans plunged on.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN FRANCE, Oct 3. (Correspondence of the. Associated Press). Conserva

tion is the word one hears coming

over the German lines now. Always

economical, the Germans are saving

now more than ever before in man

power. Since the day the Germans started backward from the Marne they have been conserving their numbers

as never before and they have , done It in a most admirable manner, but at the expense of positions. The German losses in men have not been so great as might have been expected. In the fighting north of the Marne the retreat was skillfully planned and carried out in a manner that excited admiration. Machine guns were substituted for men at almost every point and the way in which the German army is built around that particular bit of ordnance has been very thoroughly demonstrated. Every backward step of the enemy

was guarded by the automatic guns.

Get back the artillery and the bulk of the infantry was the order repeated in the German army as the French and Americans prodded them. In almost every instance the rear guard action meant the resistance of little machine gun unitj and because of the clever manner in which the "nests were planned they were able to hold

their own long enough to enable the

main armies behind them to fall back.

They were not always placed in lines but left here and there Just over

the brow of a hill or in the deep woods, on the ground and in the tree3

and almost always skillfully: camou

flaged. But always their disposition was coordinate. In the end it was up

to every machine gun crew to fight its own way out or to resist to the

last, until swept away by the allies

artillery or over by their tanks or

infantry, but they were so placed that until that time came their fire was so directed that it swept very effectually the advancing lines. The Germans have lost thousands of their machine guns by such tactics, but they have saved proportionately in men. It is this evident intention to save manpower, so different from their at

titude earlier in the war, that has gone far toward convincing many that their big military machine is cracking and that they will not be able to withstand a winter campaign.

(Br Associated Press) PARIS, Tuesday, Oct. 1 "If the allies have succeeded in ending hostilities In Macedonia, It Is to be hoped that we will also succeed In reaching an agreement which will bring about lasting peace among the Balkan nations" was a statement made to newspapermen last night by Take Jonescu, former Minister of the Interior of Rumania, who Is visiting al

lied countries In the Interests of his native land.

"Rumania must get back the terri

tory on the other side of the Danube

now occupied by the Buigars ne continued. "It is indispensable toward economic- life and would in nowise be a Bulgarian capitulation. Bul

garia would have other advantages which would more than counterbalance the mere withdrawal of her army from this territory. "Allied troops will approach the Danube and the Rumanian army will

take up the arms wrenched from it by the so-called peace of Bucharest. The handful of Germaniphiles who sought to dishonor their country will scatter like chaff. The new Rumanian army will exceed in valor the oi l one. It is as a belligerent that I am speaking to you and I am proud of it. Above all there should be no peace until the allies enter Germany."

CAR MEN STRIKE

BUFFALO, N. Y., Oct. 3. A strike went into effect on all the lines of the International Railway here and in nearby cities and towns at 4 o'clock this morning. The tie-up was complete, the company making no effort to move cars.

ITALIAN PREMIER AT FRONT ROME, Oct. 3. Premier Orlando left for the Italian front coincident with the Bulgarian armstice, according to The Idea National. This armistice, it adds, "has so changed conditions on all fronts that it creates posibilities for activities by the allied forces along new lnes not hitherto foreseen."

BETTER THAN CALOMEL

Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets the substitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't Injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold nt thm trnnble and auicklv correct it. Why

cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel but to let Dr. Edwards' niiua TaMota take its nlacs.

Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel loggy" and "heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spirits, 10c and 25c a box. All druggists.
