THOUSANDS OF GERMANS TAKEN IN- YANK DRIVE

Former Richmond Boy Writes of Advance in Which Two German Towns Were Taken The following letter has been received by Mr. and Mrs. Francis Via of New raris. Ohio, from their son. Louis, who lived In Richmond about six years ago. lie has been in France five months. "The last letter I wrote you from our positions up In the Vosges mountains. Since then many things have happened. We were relieved from that place by another bunch of troops, but before we left we captured two German towns, and held them our division being the first In the American army to do that. It was considered an honor and I understand that we are to get a service bar for It After we left that place we hiked all the way to where we began to help In this big drive. It took us a couple of weeks to make the trip and it sure was tiresome. Everyone had to walk all the way except . the drivers because the roads were very bad. Boche Taken by Surprise.

isevertneiess we got over to our part in the line in time to do our

part in the drive, and it sure was some

drive. You probably have read about JAln'the papers. I will describe what ye saw, that is all I am permitted to

rsay: we went into position In an open field on September 12. It was raining very hard at tho time. About midnight that night in addition to the heavy rain storm the barrage of our artillery started, and lasted until noon tho next day. For twelve hours there was a continuous storm of iron and steel going at the Germans from hundreds of our guns, ranging from 8-inch to 14-inchers. The sky was violently red from the explosion of . so many shells, and under this barrage tho infantry went over the top after the Boche; drove them back and captured many thousands. It seemed that everything was done so rapidly that the Hoche did not have time to offer much resistance with their artillery, and thus their Infantry was mostly killed or token prisoner. "Wo started our advance the next a'fternoon, the engineers going ahead and cuting a road through the barbed , wire, and making the road over the trenches In the territory the Germans have held for the last four years. As wo came across what was No Man's land beforo the drive, thexambulances were busy taking care of the wounded, and I could see many dead

Huns scattered over the field and in the trenches. By the time we got at the end of our advance we had gone about twelve kilometers, which is seven and one-half miles. From the time tho drive started until we stopred at the end of our advance two and one-half days later, we had not had one bite to eat, and Bome of the fellows had not a drop to drink, although some of them had filled their canteens before, and they hold a Quart.

"The Boche In their hurry left behind '"thousands of guns and pounds of am

munition; part of their horses were captured also, and many of their machine guns, with various other property that I can't mention. A lot of tho prisoners that were brought back did not look to be over 16 years of age, and lots of them looked to be 75 and over. There were very few who looked to be between 21 and 35, and they peeraed glad that theeir part in the war was over. Gassed Eight Times a Night. "You should see the condition under which I am writing this letter. I am down in a Boche dugout which was probably used as a floor of protection in case they were shelled. It Is 15 feet down In the ground, four feet

high and three feet wide, and about

CO foet long. AVe are using it as our

telephone center. Every time the guns fire the concussion puts out my candle, and so between answering the phone and lighting my candle I am

writing this

"I am feeling very good under the

circumstances. Have forgotten what a good night's sleep is; we have missed so many in the last ten. There has not been a single night that we have not been gassed from two to eight times. Every one takes good care of his gas mask and has it with him at all times. It is his best friend, with his steel hat. ton asked me in

V your letter how much I weigh. Twa weeks ago I weighed 156. Well, 1 muBt stop and get to work, but I will -.J write again the first opportunity I get.

I hope we snail have aavancea eignt more miles by then."

OXFORD, O., Oct 30. Miss Blanche Ingersoll, of the Kan?as State Normal College, has been appointed Instructor in household economics at Teachers College, Miami University. "FLU" ABATING AT OXFORD

OXFORD, O., Oct. 30. Only one patient remains in Miami university hospital, and all the imported nurses have been discharged. In the village there have been only three new cases of influenza in four days, and they are said to be very light in character. It is confidently believed that tho worst is over here.

Even when dairy utensils appear clean, if they have not been properly sterilized they may harbor vast numbers of bacteria which contaminate milk or cream that comes in contact with them.

This advertisement is written on Monday, October 21st. It is directed to the attention of all distributors of Vick's VapoRub. both wholesale and retail. In an emergency such as the present epidemic our duty and your duty is to distribute VapoRub in the quickest possible manner to those sections stricken by Influenza. We, therefore, call your careful attention to the following: DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUPPLY IS NOT CONSERVED.

On October 1st we had on hand, at

nnr Factorv and in twenty warehouses

spnttpred over the country, sufficient

ViinnRub to last us, we thought, until

January 1st, allowing for a 60 increase over last year's sales, and not countinir our dally output. This big

excess stock had been accumulated dnrinar the summer months.

Then this epidemic of Spanish In

fluenza hit us and In the last iu

Hovn thin Rtock has vanished. At

first, we thought this tremendous de

mand would last only a few days, but

the orders have -run: Wed., Oct 16 18,504 Doz. Thur., Oct. v17 25,323 Doz. Fri., Oct. 18 39,256 Doz. Sat, Oct. 19 45,833 Doz. Mon.. Oct. 21 77,705 Doz.

tin to Saturday, October 19th, we

have actually shipped for this month

1400.284.10, or over two million jars

of VapoRub. THE PROBLEM NOW IS TO .DIS TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY

Most of this tremendous quantity is still en route to the jobbers, but

freight and express are both congested nowadays, and it may be some time before this supply reaches the jobbers. In the meantime, therefore, it is necessary that we distribute, as widely as possible, the stock that we are manufacturing daily, together with that now oil the Jobbers' and retailers' shelves, in, order that it may getto the Influenza districts quickly. Our normal output is about 4,000 dozen per day. We are putting on a night shift, but it will be a little while before that is producing. WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE DRUGGISTS TO DO Last Saturday we notified all of our jobbers, by -Special Delivery, as follows: 1st Deals and quantity shipments of all kinds are cancelled. Fill no quantity orders of any kind, . whether taken by our salesmen or by your own. Sell in small

lots only.

we will try to ship a limited amount by Parcel Post or express, and pay the charges ourselves. In order to make distribution

still quicker, we will ship direct to your retail customers quantis ties not more than three (3) dozen 30c size at any one shipment. 4th We are now out of the 60c size and will be for the next 10 days. WHAT WE ASK THE RETAIL DRUGGIST TO DO. Buy in as small quantities as possible. If you have any quantity orders, given the jobber's salesmen or given to our salesmen, don't bother

about them no need to write us It

is absolutely impossible to fill these orders at this time. . If the jobbers in your territory are out of Vick's VapoRub, we will ship you by Parcel Post, prepaid, quantities not more than

three (3) dozen 30c size in any one

order. Naturally, we can't open accounts at this time, so your check or money order for this amount must accompany order. Don't write us stating to ship thru your Jobber, as we then have to wait until we write this jobber and get his O. K. If you wish the goods to come- thru your -jobber, have him order them for you.

NEW WAYS TO USE VAPORUB In addition to the usual method of using VapoRub that is, applied over the throat and chest and covered- with hot flannel cloths our customers are writing us daily telling of their success in using VapoRub in other ways, particularly as a preventive. They melt a little in a spoon and inhale the vapors arising, or melt it in a benzoin steam kettle. Where the steam kettle is not available, VapoRub can be used in an ordinary teakettle. Fill the teakettle half full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising. According to a Bulletin just issued by the Public Health Service, Dr. Stiles, of this Service, recommends that -the nose be kept greased as a preventive measure against the Influenza germs. For this purpose Vapo

Rub is excellent.

President Wilson Makes a Fair Request

President Wilson makes the same request that was made for President McXinley the same that was voiced by President Harrison and by Colonel Roosevelt. They said that to elect a congress of opposite political faith to the President miht be taken in Europe as an indication that the country had repudiated the President's policies, and that it would retard peace negotiations with Spain. This war is twenty times as important as that war, and President Wilson makes the same request that was made for President McKinley and granted to him by the people. Read part of what President Wilson says :

"My Fellow Countrymen: The Congressional elections are at hand. They occur in the most critical period our country has everl faced or is likely to face in our time. If you have approved of my leadership and wish me to continue to be your unembarrassed spokesman in affairs at home and abroad, I earnestly beg that you will express yourselves unmistakably to thateffect by returning a Democratic majority to both the Senate

and House of Representatives."

LET US BE FAIR Americans love fair play. Let us be just as fair with President Wilson as we' were with President McKinley. Our President today is the leader of the world. His wisdom in this war has made the United States the greatest of all nations. The balance of the world has implicit faith in him and we should not shake that confidence by a failure'to indorse him at the polls. ? Harry G.
