France, Thursday, April 25. Two j
American soldiers, wounded in the!
engagement around Seicheprey Last!
Saturday were found alive to-day in j
a dugout in No Man's Land. The I
dugout had been badly smashed by I
German shell fire and how the men j
managed to keep alive in the rain
and mud and under continuous Ger-1
man bombardments, physicians say'
is little short of miraculous.
Another soldier, Raymond Denvin
sky, of New Haven, Conn., was bur-!
led alive for three days when he

American Women Get
Old French Beauty Secret
Six years ago a well-known so
ciety lady while traveling in
France ran across an old French
receipt used by ancient beauties
which showed a process for com
bining the well-known beautifying
oils (.Almond, Palm, Cocoanut ana
Olive oils) with other nourishing
substances, so that when applied
to the skin. It quickly brought
about an almost magical transfer- |
■nation.
With a single application the I
complexion immediately becomes
most wonderfully clear, pink' and
youthful in appearance.
if a little of the preparation. !
which comes in a delicate, creamy
form, is gently rubbed on the face \
just before retiring or at some j
convenient time during the day
you can almost see the hungry skin !
cat up or absorb the cream which
does not feel llie least bit sticky
or greasy.
Through its tonic action on the
skin the dormant facial muscles
revive, enlarged pores . contract, |
lines, wrinkles and crows feet dis
appear and the skin becomes clear
and more girlish looking in ap- ;
pearance.
Beauty Doctors say that it is
the only treatment in the World
that will actually remove wrinkles
and make an old face look young
and beautiful.
This old French Beauty Secret
lias been placed 011 the market un
der the name of Ain-o-nized Cocoa
Cream and it can now be obtained I
from any good druggist, lnstruc- ! '
tions come with each package giv
ing the proper method to employ
for removing wrinkles, reducing I
enlarged pores, correcting flabby
skin, sagging muscles, etc.
Local druggists are having a big 1
call for Am-o-nized Cocoa Cream !
as many women have made them- 1
selves look from 10 to 20 years
younger by its use.

| was bom In Russia, but had "oeen; ]
| naturalized. He was found by Amer- '
I ican Red Cross stretcher bearers who |
1 went out into No Man's Land this:
morning. The Germans tired on the,
I Red Cross flag but the stretcher
'| bearers kept waving it and the en-i
11 emy fire stopped.
The American troops in the 801-
j cheprey fight, additional details
| show, were outnumbered in some in- |
j stances, eight to one. The latest 1
advices are that the American cas-'
ualties are much under the first esti- j
| mates.
Edward Jacques, a New Haven
'i boy, told the correspondent he wuS|
1 one of 150 Americans who at one;
I time were nearly surrounded by at j
j least 800 Germans. French troops |
! came to their assistance, said .lac-1
I ques, who added:
"We got on fine with the Fren-h •
I men. They had been training us so;
' it seemed like they were our own j
! fellows. We certainly made it hot j
j for the Germans."
WouikUhl Gunner Keeps Up Eire'
Sergeant John A. Dickman. of!
,i Somerville, Mass., who now lies j
j wounded in a hospital, said he and j
I his men had charge of two Stokes
J suns. They were isolated for 12 min- I
; utes in enemy barrage and were un- j
I able to signal the American lines'.
; Dickman was wounded but kept
pouring a hot fire into the German j
attacking waves and broke up the •
formation. He and his men retired 1
only when .their guns became jam
med.
"Machine Gun" Parker, who man- j |
ned a gun Ijy himself, was asked by 1 ]
his superior officer at one stage of j
the engagement whether he could;
1 hold the line. He replied that he
i could, unless killed, and he did.
Oilers IViost Commission
Father William J. Fan-ell, o!' West
Xewton, Mass., a reKimental chaplain I
proved such a g-ood fighter that a •
high officer offered him a commission |
in ti!s command. Father Fat rell went j
to the assistance of a battery w.hen j
four of f he American g-nnners were |
killed, carried up ammunition and
helped the crew to keep the gun
working. He was wounded slightly.
Raymond Connor, of New Haven, a
sanitary squad runner, was one of j
e'ght men captured by the Germans ,
who escaped and went to Seicheprey. i
They took charge of the first aid sta- !
tion there until a doctor arrived. I
Connor then went to the rear and j
organized a new squad, returned to
the front and was wounded.
Propaganda balloons which have i
been falling on the American lines
since Tuesday, indicate the Germans
still' are trying to undermine the |
French morale. The pamphlets drop- j
ped contain cartoons, poems and I
articles all aimed against England I
and the English.

Serve Better as Speaker
By Associated J'rtss
Washington, April 26.—-Speaker
Clark to-ilay (Inclined Governor
Gardner's proffer of the Missouri
Senatorsliip to till the vacancy caused
.toy Senator Stone's death. Addressing]
Governor Gardner, in part as fol- j
lows:
"In this awful crisis of our coun
try's affairs —indeed of the whole
world's affairs—it is the imperative
duty of every man to serve the peo
ple and uphold the government to
the best of his ability and in the
position where he can do the most
good. I believe that I can render
more service in the Speaker's chair
than in the Senate. Therefore X feel
constrained to decline your tender of
the Senatorsliip, heartily thanking
you and the many Missourians who
have urged me to accept."
