YOU'VE GOT
A FINE BIG
TREAT COMING
One Chew of "American
Navy" Will Surprise
and Delight You
FULL OF RICH FLAVOR
Maybe you're one of those men
who go on chewing tobacco for
years without knowing that there's
a special kind of tobacco which
would suit your taste a hundred
times better.
Why not find out? Why not
try American Navy and see just
what that wonderful flavor is ? No
doubt you've often heard the old
timers brag about it, even if you've
never chewed American Navy
yourself.
American Navy is made of the
whole leaf—and choice, ripe, se
lected leaf at that. And it is
pressed into plugs slowly and
carefully so that not a single drop
of the sweet, tasty juice can get
away.
There's a big treat coming to
you in American Navy.
Ask your dealer for American
Navy—a 5c or 10c cut —either is
big value for the money.

Varicose Ulcers, and up until about
Ave weeks ago I have been treating

With all the treatments that wer#

AT CAMP STEWART
Troopers Drill With Mules
While Waiting For Prom

Camp Stewart, El Paso, Texas.—Camp
life with the Pennsylvania soldiers is
becoming more agreeable dally. There
are still some uncertainties, which keep :
t-.e soldiers guessing as to the future.
The fact that no horses have been dis
tributed to the cavalry division is caus
ing much gossip. The members of the
Governor's Troop, of Harrisburg, and
other troopers, are wondering what it
all means. Horses were promised sev
eral weeks ago. Preparations were j
made to start mounted drills but no
horses arrived. There are several hun
dred horses in quarantine, and the only
announcement made, is that as soon as
acclimated these horses will be distri
buted to the troopers.
From C. Hugh Blair
Camp Stewart. Fort Bliss. Tex.
Rattlesnakes are now occuping the
attention of the members of the Gov
ernor's Troop of cavalry from Har
risburg. The rattlers have completed
the process of shedding their skins and
are beginning to become quite active.
Almost nightly the men from Har
risburg organize snake-hunting parties
and go scouring the mountain sides
in the hope of finding some of the
reptiles.
Last evening a party headed by
Cook Horace Oves secured two large
snakes which were brought to camp
alive. The snakes -were ordered killed
by First Sergeant Charles Kline and
to-day the pelts of the reptiles are
hanging in the sun being tanned. They
will be used for hat bands by the
men.
Private Harry Solomon has been
transferred from Troop C to the head
quarters troop, where he has been
i made a corporal. The neadquarters
'troop will have charge of the supplies
and equipment of the men of the en
tire regiment and Solomon's transfer
comes as a promotion.
Mimic warfare has been started by
the cavalry regiment, and daily the
troops are put through long drills in
which each man carries complete
equipment including tents and blan
kets. The men are given rations
which they must cook for themselves
while in the field. This is something
new to the men and they are en
thusiastic over It.
Within a short time the men ■will
aro out for maneuvers which will oc-
I cupy a week or more at a time. During
\ these periods, all the duties of actual
| warfare will be carried out by the
men.
Wagoner Paul Anderson, of Harris
burg. now attached to the headquar
ters troop here, received a severe In-
Jury to his right wrist when he was
struck by a mule he was harnessing.
Anderson now has the arm in a sling.
A ligament in the wrist was dislocated.
Although drills are still held on foot
the cavalrymen are getting ready for
the horses. Yesterday Lieutenant
Roberts had a force of men at work
in the rear of the camp clearing oft
the ground and constructing a picket
for the horses whenever they are to
be issued.
Mules have been given the troop for
the purpose of giving: the men from
Harrisburg drill in the packing and
placing of a saddle and bridle on the
horses when they are issued. Some
funny things happened during the
periods that the troop from Harris
burg had the mules. Some of the men
are afraid of the animals while others
want to mount them and ride at once.
The men are putting on boxing
matches almost every evening as a
means of breaking the monotony. Last
evening three bouts were staged and
the affair attracted crowds from all
the other troops in the regiment.
Wagoner Anderson and Herman Shope
mixed it for a few rounds.
Since Lieutenant Xicodemus "has
been attached to headquarters Cap
tain Jack and Lieutenant Roberts have
had to do all the work of command
ing the troops themselves. It is a big
job for two men.
And now comes the information
that the government In to detach all
second lieutenants in the cavalry and
attach them to the Seventeenth Cav
alry U. S. Regulars that is now being
organized at Fort Bliss. This will
mean that Second Lieutenant Roberts
of Harrisburg would be detached
from the Governor's troop and at
tached to the new cavalry regiment.
If the lieutenants "make good" in the
regulars they will be offered a com
mission in the regular army..
Most of the young lieutenants In
the Pennsylvania cavalry are anxious
to get into the regulars and are
erabbing the chance to go to the
Seventeenth Regiment. Should Lieu
tenant Roberts leave the Governor's
Troop, it would mean that Captain
Jack would be without an assisting
officer. In such a contingency, it Is
likely that there would be several
promotions among the noncommis
sioned officers so as to fill the vacancy.

in the big push' where they rolled
the Germans back along the Somrae.
In the first place, the drive was be
gun at the French behest. The British
did not think they had enough muni
tions in reserve to begin an offensive
on so grand a scale. And besides,
thev contended, they had not yet
familiarized themselves sufficiently
with the terrain over which they were
to attack. . _
"Whereupon the French offered to
supply officers who were skilled in
the method of attack to be employed,
and who were familiar with every
foot of the ground. On the basis of
this agreement the offensive was
launched. Most of the officers who
went with the British are natives of I
the country about where the battles
are now raging."
Verdun. Dr. Black said, the
French are now complete masters of
the situation.
"They are toying with the Ger
mans," he said. "Every now and then
we hear the Germans have regained
some unimportant position by storm
attack. That U all by French design.
They mine positions and permit the.
Germans to capture them, only to be |
blown up or made targets for skill- ,
fully concealed artillery fire. The Ger- j
man casualties at Verdun overwhelm j
imagination. Their losses exceed those
of the French four to one. That is
the French game at Verdun —killing
Germans."
