MOMMY, APRIL 8,1918.
ALLIES POSTPONE
OFFENSIVE PLAN
NEW YORK, April B.—ls General
Each succeeds in saving Amiens and in
preventing the Germans from cutting
the Amiens-Paris railway, he will have
accomplished all that can be expected
at this time.
Delay in starting a counter offensive
against the Germans is proper under
the circumstances. It is not probable
that British, French and American
public opinion would consider the re
covery of the recently lost area in
western France worth the sort of
slaughter that von Hindenburg has
just inflicted on his own troops. The
German autocracy can ruin Germany’s
man-power, vicut protest from
home, but democratic governments do
not do these things.
The immediate retirement of the
Germans to their former positions is
not stragetically necessary from the
military standpoint of the Allies. The
principal reason for its accomplish
ment would be inc strengthm ng of
the Allies’ morale, which ought to be,j
and, in fact, is necessary. Present
developments more and more suggest,
that a waiting policy may suit the 1
Allies’ needs better than an adoption
of von Hindenburg’s strategy of
slaughter.
A voluntary retirement by the Ger
mans cimilar to their return to the
Hindenburg line last year may well be
brought about by the mere arrival
along the Alsace-Lorraine front of in
creasing number of soldiers from the
United States.
Von Hindenburg has bitten off more
than he can chew for any length of
time. The German front will cer
tainly increase in unwieldiness for the
Germans if the war is prolonged. With
the probabilities favoring an event-!
ual curtailment of the German front.
General Foch might even be playing
von Hindenburg’s own game by de
veloping a major counter offensive at
this time.
The Allies can no more afford to
waste their man-power than can Ger
many. The death payments of the Al -
lies ought to Be made for offensive
gains, and not merely the recovery of
technically valueless territory. These
may be the considerations that are!
withholding General Foch for the
present from striking against the Ger !
mans.
~A NERVOUS WRECK
From Thee Years’ Suffering. Says
Cardui Made Her Well.
Texas City, Tex.—ln an interesting
statement, Mrs. G. H. Schill, of this town,
says: “For three years I suffered untold
agony with my head. I was unable to
do any of my work.
I just wanted to sleep all the time, for (
that was the only ease I could get, when I
I was asleep. I became a nervous wreck
just from the awful suffering with my
head. j
I was so nervous that the least noise
would make me jump cut of my bed. I
had no energy, and was unable to do
anything. My son, a young boy, had to ;
do all my household duties.
I was not able to do anything until 1 i
took Cardui. 1 took three botties in all
and it surely cured me of those awful
headaches. That has been three years
ago, and I knew the cure is permanent,
for I have never had any headache since
taking Cardui. . .
Nothing relieved me until I took Cardui.
It did wondero for re.”

SOLDIERS IS FRINGE
ENJOY GOOD HEALTH
FREXC HFRONT, April 8. —French
armies in th? held are more healthy
than at the beg s »ining of the war say
the medical ren.-rts. Thi s is attribut
ed tn hygien’e j i ecaution and th- Cct
ferments introduced in the lb u-ing
and cacr of the men
Typhoid and analogous diseases
have become very rare. During the
first ten days of January this year,
only seventeen cases were reported
as the total in all the French armies,
whereas in December, 1914, and Jan
uary, 1915, the. average reached well
over four figures and was very dis
quieting. The disappearance of these
dangerous maladies is attributed by
the doctors to the introduction at the
end of January, 1915 of compulsory in
cculation of the troops with anti-ty
phoid serum.
The remarkable health of the sold
iers in the fiield is the more striking
when the condition under which they
live when on active service in the
trenches is taken int 0 consideration
Then for weeks on end they are sub
jected to the most severe trials. They
must execute all the numerous chores
inseparable from beingc ut off from the
unusual life of mankind. In every
k>nd of weather they have brought up
to the front lines supplies of food and
ammunition. They have to stand on
guard in rain and snow and mud for
day s at a time.
When not on actual guard they pass
their time in crowded and damp dug
otts hwere the air is always bad. At
all times in the front line sectors
they are compelled to take their rest
while fully dressed and equipped so as
to be ready for a call to fight. Their
food is brought to them by comrades
jest as dirty as themselves, and. as
there are no opportunities to wash, it
is handled by hands covered with mud
and grease. In fact, all the surround
ings of the soldier in the front line
are such as to breed disease, yet they
seem rapidly to accustom themselves
to them and to maintain their health
Even throat and chest troubles have
diminished among the troops, thanksl
to the improved conditions in the !
rest-camps, where on coming down !
from the front lines the soldiers are ;
now provided each with a trestle bed ,
raised from the ground, which is th*. i
acme, of comfort as compared with'!
the bundle of damp straw usual in'
1914 and 1915.
Measles and scarlatina, which were i
c-nce so prevalent, break out now only;
here and there. The report of thed
ten days already mentioned tells of;
only fifty-nine cases of measles and
fifty-three cases of scarlatina in the
entire army.
Trench-feet, brought aboiit by the
standing in the freezing mud for days’
at a time in shoes which hinder the
circulation, are being combatted suc
cessfully. The last rbport shows only
f. 53 cases in ten days during the cold
est season, whereas in five days of the
same period last year no fewer than
3,831 cases were treated. Formerly
amputation was resorted to very fre
quently, but now the method of treat
ment employed has done away with
this radical means.

ATLANTA, Ga., April 8. —In conse
quence of government insurance for
isoldiers and sailors at actual cost, pro
viding an annuity for their depend
j.ents, commercial life insurance com
i panics are being forced to return to
I policies primarly designed for the pro
tection of the beneficiaries, instead of
the speculation of the policyholder, ac
cording to Annuity Messenger, official
organ of the Masons’ Annuity, the
.’ ell-known-benefit order for Masons
only which has its supreme lodge in
this city. The Messenger calls atten
tion to the fact that annuity insurance
i has always been considered the best
! form abroad, and has been steadily
I perfected and improved in Europena
I countries. Wealth is measured there
i in terms of income, which is the only
correct measurement. To fulfill its
true function, therefore, insurance
; should provide an income for the
I fajnily after the death of the income
producer. Hence the change brought
t bout by tlie government insurance is
a remarkable vindication of the frater
nal benefit orders, which have always
fought for annuflty protection. The
Masons’ Annuity, it will be of inter
est to Masons, has paid a total of sl.-
-€70,655.21 to beneficiaries, and has as
sets amounting to $1,022,045.40.

MANY U. S. COLONELS
REDUCED IN RANK
WASHINGTON, April B.—General
Pershing’s reiterated recommendation
that only officers who show the high
est efficiency be placed in command of
troops sent to France has resulted in
the demotion of many officers who ear
ly in the war were promoted from
ranks of majors and captains in the
reguar army to that of colonel in the
national army. Army orders today
showed that not less than fifty such
ojeens and had resigned their comfis
sions a s the result of reports of offi
cers of the Inspector General's De
partment that the men had failed to
attain the standard required.
A large portion of the officers who
have lost their promotions will be
tried in other posts for which they are
better equipped. The remainder will
go back to units of the reguar army
in their former grade. The vacan
cies left by this change will be filled
largely by promoting temporarily oth
er regular army officers.
Two officers who were majors in the
regular army a year ago and who
were assigned to national guard regi
ments as colonels have been recom
mended by their division commanders
for promotion to brigadiers.
ASKS DIVORCE FROM
UNPATRIOTIC HUBBY
MACON, Ga., April B—Accusing her
husband of making sneering remarks 1
abut the United States, Mrs. Carrie
Basseet Mertins has filed a suit
for divorce in the Superior court
against George Mertins. She is rep
resented by J. T. Cochran.
Mrs. Mertins declares that her hus
band constantly made sneering re
marks in reference to the war and was
always boasting that Germany would
whip the United States. Such re-'
marks, Mrs. Mertins claims, “were hu- i
miliating to her and caused her to suf
fer great agonies to the detriment of
her health.” ;
The petitioner also asserts that
Mertins wa s cruel and inhuman and
frequently whipped her children with
out provocation. She married Mer
tins, she claims, on September 28 last.
She was a widow and had three chil- ;
dren.
Mertins was arrested several days
ago by the military authorities at i
Camp Wheeler for abusive remarks he ;
is alleged to have made about the j
United States. He was employed as'
a tailor at the camp and is said to
have repeately asserted that Germany
would whip the country.

R. S. Parkham, Greenville, Ga., eayt:
“I feed about fifty cows and calves and use Buckeye Hulls
very successfully. I consider Buckeye Hulls as good feed
and cheaper feed than the old style hulls"
To leeure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the haUt
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty ipinutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by built as of old style hulls.
