I OMANCES have been written
and romances will he written about the world war, but
the bare facts which every community had to face, the anxiety which came to every family from which a son bad gone to the front, and the
fortitude with which American boys

shouldered their duty with their mili
tary accoutrement will always remain above all an Important truth. Not unique, but necessarily similar is the part Wayne county played in the great war when compared with that of other counties, and yet savored as its story is with pereonalism for the residents of this county, its history is one of marked Importance and Interest. At least fifty Wayne county men have been guarding the Rhine as members of the American Army of Occupation. Many of these men are now on their way home, but a majority of them are still oversea finishing up the work which they and other members of the American combat divisions accomplished on the fighting fronts. Helped Win Twelve Battles.
Wayne county men took p3rt in the j action which succesfully won at least twelve of the great battles of the war. They were on practically every front the Allies occupied after the spring of 1917. Wayne countians were scattered through sixteen or more of the groat A. E. F. combat divisions which faced the Hun in the trenches, in open warfare and in the air. Men from this county have been stationed in France, Alsace-Lorraine, Belgium, Luxemburg, Italy, Germany and Ru3bla. it is known that eighteen Wayne county men were killed in action or died of wounds received in action. Over forty Wayne county men received wounds while In action, and fifteen were gassed. A considerable number cf wounded men were also gassed. Charles Locke, of Cambridge City, Clarence Endsley of Centervllle, and Robert Justice were captured by the Germans and suffered imprisonment In German prison camps. Some Serve In Russia. American boys who have gone into Russia have answered with equal response the call of humanley. No word concerning the death of any Wayne county boy in Russia has been received, but it is known that the followinz boys have served there: Leslie
Sprouse, Carl Young, Ross H. Miller
and Harry Souer. Eugene Ashcraft of Richmond, re
celved a Distinguished Service Cross from the United States government
for bravery in action. Everett Oxen

France to the men of a regiment who,
following the receipt of a Croix de
Guerre, have been cited three times
J. O. Donohue and Clarence Stephen
have been in Italy with the American
Expeditionary Forces. Both saw ac
tlve service on the Italian front, and it is understood that they are both in
that country. Wayne Countians Wounded.
The list of Wayne county's men who received wounds while fighting at the front Includes the following: Charles Wade, Elmer Ribkee, Clinton Brock,
Joseph Cook, William Yoder, T. II. Oraffis, Roman Vosmeier, Raymond Kelly, L. H. Kettler, Paul Hunt, Florence Ridge, Clarence Throckmorton, Glen McClure, William Frame, Mural McKlnney, Duke Rogers, Benjamin Edwards, Russell Kinsey, C. J. Reeg, W. R, Mitchell, Roy Martin, Indro P.

Insufficient information regarding the casualties of other men has been learned but complete reports will be 'given regarding them or any others as soon as received.
Amongmen who were gassed while I
fighting ror America were
sweethearts, wives, brothers and sisters back home. As a correspondent said recently, the "glory of achievement depended only upon opportunity." When the national guardsmen followed the regular army to France and entered the action at the front they proved themselves soldiers of the same metal as the brothers who preceded them, and in turn when the nat
ional army men came along tney too, whether drafted or enlisted, showed that they were made of the real stuff, and could "not be beat." Left Joys Back Home. Men from Wayne county left homes, families and sweethearts and fought
for standards which cannot rot, and
with vehmence which will never be forgotten. The Joys of these men were back in old Wayne county, but the honor and the life of their country was at stake and to them was given the opportunity to fight for it. At Chateau-Thierry, at St. Mihlel, Solssons, Sedan, Verdun, Meuse, Metz, in the Champagne district and in the Argonne, Wayne county was bravely and importantly represented and every man, woman and child back home is Justly proud of her representation. In the Rainbow Division, (42d Division), which was composed of the national guards of twenty-six states
and the District of Columbia, the following men were among those from Wayne county: Frank Lichtenfels,

In all the descriptions written of American combat divisions is there anything which can Justify anyone to say that the men of one particular division were braver or better soldiers than those In another division? According to official records, it is stated that the First American Division gained more ground and captured more prisoners than any other, but this does not mean that the men of that division were of more sterling character, but only that they had a better chance, took it, and did what Was expected of them by not only the trmr official but the fathers, mother.

When the doctors disagree who shall decide Is an oft quoted question. Nowadays It has become fashionable to go to the Inter-State Doctors whenever ordinary doctors disagree or fail to cure. Since the InterState Doctors have permanently established their Richmond offices on the second floor of the Starr Building, corner Main and Tenth, over the Starr Piano Store, their business has grown to such an extent that people are coming to Richmond from hundreds of miles to be cured by these medical specialists. One of the thousands who decided to go to the Inter-State -Doctors when other doctors disagreed is Reuben Miller, of Urbana. Indiana, who says: Urbana, Ind. Dear Doctors:
I am very glad to think what a great thing you have done for me by curing me of the dreadful disease, asthma, which I suffered with from the age of two years, until a few' months ago, when I started to doctor with you. I am now seventeen years of age, and feel that I am completely cured of my asthma. Before I doctored with you I had to Bit up of nights for two weeks at a time and could hardly get my breath. Most of the doctors told me there was no cure eo I had almost given up all hope of being cured, but now I am so glad that I did not. Anyone who suffers from asthma or any other troubles of the body that the doctors Bay can not be cured should give you a trial before giving up hope of being cured. Yours respectfully, REUBEN MILLER. Urbana, Ind. Thousands of people, many of them your friends and neighbors, have been cured of disease by the Inter-State Doctors, after all others have failed to relieve, and their testimonials are on file In the Institute and can be seen by any one. These friends and neighbors of yours, these home people, living right here in the county would not testify to these cures were they not true. You can believe what your friends and neighbors tell yon. While you may have been disappointed
by others still there is hope: you can be cured by nature's remedies as used by the Inter-State Doctors. Any sick person is safe in going to the Inter-State Doctors. Their examination is free, but no Incurable cases will be accepted for treatment. DOCTOR CULVER, the Chief of Staff, will be at the Richmond Office all day Friday from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m. An opportunity of your lifetime to consult this Great Specialist
