Soldiers' Relatives Are Warned Against Swindlers WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. War de partment and postofflce officials are planning a vigorous campaign against swindlers who are again seeking to defraud relatives of soldiers through false telegrams and letters. Complaints from relatives are again reach ing the department showing that de mobilization has given a better oppor tunity for such criminal operations. The usual practice is for the swind ler to obtain the names of relatives of a soldier from the published casual ty lists. A telegram signed In the sol dier's name Is sent stating he ia free to come home on furlough if his relatives wire money for the trip and in filing the message the sender waives identification and asks his relatives to do the same. Sometimes relatives are asked to send the money to the sol dier, . care of general - delivery at the city post office. A similar outbreak occurred during the war, but was checked by the warning to relatives sent out by the war department through , the press. Offi cials said that in no case should rela tives waive complete identification in transmitting funds to soldiers. Middleboro, Ind.

GEilMAII PRISONERS TOLD ALLIES OF FLAN SOB LAST GnEAT OFFENSIVE

NEW' YORK, Feb. 27. The Btory of how General Gouraud obtained, through prisoners, word of the exact hour at which the last great German offensive of the war was to be started and how, with the aid of American troops, he hurled back the advancing hordes, was told in an address here by Colonel William Hayward, of the 369th infantry (colored), the former 15th New York. . . '.. , This German drive, started on July 15, was the turning point of the war, declared Colonel , Hayward. Reinforced by released - prisoners ; from Russia, the foe was at the xenith of his power. The blow came east ( of Rheims. , . - "We knew this- attack was coming and knew it was to be the maximum German effort," said Colonel Hayward. "About one hour before 1 o'clock on the night of July 14, we captured German prisoners in a raid. They told us when the attack would come. , "The artillery preparation was to start at midnight and last five hours and twenty-live minutes. So General Gouraud started our artillery fire five minutes ahead of theirs. "That put them up in the air. Fritz had to send to Hans to ask what the change in his plans meant. ' "When the French knew when this battle was coming their forces did not remain a thin blue line. It seemed that all the soldiers and all the cannons in the world crawled over and took position back of us. j "General Gouraud saved the world for civilization. I have heard stories about how hard he had to work to convince General Petain and Marshal Foch that his plan was right. "But he took a chance the greatest chance any soldier ever took in the world. He took his troops out of the front line trenches over a front of fifty bilometers. "Some of these trenches had cost thousands of lives. Men had toiled for weeks and months to gain these positions. He abandoned them when he was sure where the attack was coming. "And when this occured, he had the 369th American infantry on one end of that fifty-kilometre line and the 165th on the other. ' "When the troops were withdrawn from the front line only patrols were left. On my regiment s front, insteaa of 1,600 men, only sixteen volunteers were left. They were left in specially reinforced trenches with signal rockets, gas shells and a few machine guns. ' ! "And so the German nre reu on these front line trenches for five hours and twenty-five minutes and these shells fell on empty trenches, except for those patrols who stayed there ex pecting to be killed, but who strangely

enough, practically all came back to us in the morning. "When the hour for the German infantry attack1 came they set off the gas bombs and the signal rockets. Our artillery saw the signal rockets and cut loose on the massed t German Infantry. "The German masses were literally smashed by the terrific French artillery lire, and the gas shells our boys had left smothered them with the deadly mustered gas. "They never got through to our second lines. The boys sat on the par-

apets of the trenches and watched the j show. But on the other end the boys of the Rainbow division met the ene my, in some of the most terrible mgnting of the war. .

The school city can raise about $25,000.00 and the insurance amounts to as much more, yet that amount is only half the cost of the proposed building.

SMC HAT Mrs. Phebe Henry. 613. South "C Street, ' Richmond, says : : "My ; husband who works for the .' Starr Piano Co. of this city, often came, home In the evening with a bad headache. If this would have occurred only once in a while - wo would not have thought" much about it as everybody Is subject, more or less, to headaches. Bui such Is not the case. The headaches kept getting worse - and Came more frequently until at last ? it seemed that he had the headache most of the time. : "We knew that something must be wrong and that something ought to be done.: My husband was of the opinion that his headaches were caused by his stomach being out of order, and I have no doubt that such was the case. His food soured in his stomach and made - him feel uncomfortable. "He took Pepgen and that gave him relief. It. not only helped hl3 stomach but It relieved his severe sick headaches. It also gave him a good appetite and took away tired, draggy feelings." If you are weak, are you trying to get strong? , If so, what are you doing? You should never give up heart and . be numbered among the people who do not try for they are the people who are slowly but surely drifting down the river of life. The cur

AFTER PRACTICING MEDICINE 42 YEARS THIS DOCTOR SAYS "PEPGEN IS THE BEST TONIC

Doctor John Adams, 606 East Fifth Street, Dayton, Ohio, who was formerly professor of Chemistry at the Cincinnati, O. College of Medicine and Surgery, who has practiced medicine for forty-two years and who Is one of the best Informed physicians In America says of Pepgen: . "I tried Pepgen , because I have been overworked. Recent epidemics have kept me, like other physicians, going by night and day. I needed something to build up my nerves and strengthen my general system. Another doctor recommended that I try Pepgen which I accordingly did. In a short time I felt stronger in every way. ' "I was so pleased with the results of Pepgen that I prescribed it to a number1 of my patients suffering with stomach, kidney and liver affections. In each and every case the results were entirely satisfactory- One young man who had been suffering severely with colic caused by fermentation of food, until at times he was almost drawn double, told me that he had not had a single return attack after the second day I started him on Pepeen. "In my opinion Pepgen is the best general tonic I ever used and I am elad to indorse It." ' Pepgen increases stomach action and quiets the nerves. It cleanses the blood.' It encourages the kidneys and liver and the absence of alcohol and sugar make it a safe remedy to try. Whenever there is pain, Pepgen Liniment, made from mustard, pepper, menthol, sassafras and ammonia should be used in connection with Pepgen Tonic. It penetrates, but will not blister. Sold by ThisUethwaite's drug stores and other first class drug stores in Richmond and all nearby towns. BRIRItW Brought on Peculiar Ailment Which Affected Bladder. "I had a peculiar ailment and I feel quite sure that it was brought on by drinking coffee. I did not realize that coffee hurt me at the time or 1 should have stopped drinking it. Finally I did stop drinking it but not until my bladder was badly affected," says A. C. Thomas, who boards at 27 South Ninth street, Richmond. "My trouble affected me In the mornings, when I first got out of bed. I couldn't control my bladder. . This nature of an ailment was not only very annoying but it . weakened my entire constitution. "I tried several remedies to get relief, but they did not seem to help me much. Finally I tried Pepgen and that proved to be just exactly what I needed a good tonic to build me up. Gradually the ailment I have described Is disappearing. I believe It will only be a short time until I am entirely well again." A man owning a fine race horse sees that the best care is taken of the animal. But does he take care of himself? No, man as a rule Is careless of his own health. He - eats and drinks what he wants and as much as he wants. He abuses his system. The organs shirk their duty. Then trouble begins. In such cases the most reasonable way to get back health is by taking a first class tonic." Pepgen, because of Its tonic properties, Is Indorsed by hundreds. If you have neglected your health and you don't feel right, try Pepgen. jt may be obtained at ThisUethwaite's drug stores or from any other first class druggist in Richmond and nearby towns.
