YANKS BRUSH PAST MACHINE GUN NESTS Men of 112 th Infantry Took Brave Part in Great Offensive Against Ludendorff's' Invading Army; Huns Cry I* "Kamcrad" When There Is No Mercy Sturdy Pennsylvania boys from "the oil country" had been pursuing the retreating Hun from Chateau Thierry to the banks of the Vesle river. Always on the heels of the enemy, they pushed forward in the face of German barrages and rear guard fire from hidden machine guns. When the Pennsylvanlans reached the south bank of the Vesle Germans were still in Fismette, on the nortli bank. Eieutenant Arthur Nelson, of Kane, with Company B, 112 th Infan try, comprising these "oil country" boys, has returned home, and tells this story: "The Germans in Fismette seemed to be moving around pretty boldly. I don't know whether they held the Americans in contempt or what was the cause of their foolhardiness. At any rate, one of our boys asked me to go into a house 'to do something." I went upstairs and one of our men was sitting at a window in a morris chair, "He had his rifle sighted toward the Germans in the village. I asked him how he was getting along. " 'Fine, so far,' he replied. "I've got two. Just stay here and you will see something.' " "Just then a. Boche came out of a house and sat down on the doorway. " 'Jist look at that d fool,' said cur man. 'No brains at all. It's a shame to take the money, but here goes! He blazed away and the Boche rolled over into the street.' As the 112 th was pushing forward Drive the Liquor Habit From Your Home Can Be Done Secretly. NEAV YORK.—Physicians and drug gists unhesitatingly recommend .Tes cum powders for the liquor habit in any form. They quickly destroy the craving and make whisky and other alcoholic beverages repugnant. Drug gists will tell yqu Tescum is selling better than any other remedy for the liquor habit. There is a reason for this. It is because it gives better satisfaction. One physician says: "I can stand in the door of my home and throw a stone into a neighbor's yard to whom 1 gave Tescum powders for drunkenness and he was completely cured. Have also cured a large num ber of other patients." A druggist reports: „"Tescum is having an enormous sale. It gives excellent sat isfaction." A lady recently wrote: "1 have used Tescum on my husband secretly and he has not taken a drink in three months." Another lady says: "1 only wish I had known of Tescum before." Here is another who has tried it: "After taking two boxes of Tescum I did not crave liquor." Another writes: "I don't think it's expensive at all. Just think of the thousands of dollars he has spent for whisky. The few dollars I spent, for Tescum has been worth thousands." Here is an extract from another let ter: "1 sent a box of Tescum to my Ijfcnd, Mrs. C. M., for her to try on )." husband. Hope she will be as successful as I have been, as it is wonderful. I will never tell my hus band what cured him." And so on it goes, one enthusiastic report after another. If you have a relative or friend who drinks, just try it for a few weeks and note the marvelous change. They will soon complain that drink does not taste the same, and in a short time they will stop altogether and never know the rea son why. Note A leading druggist, when shown the above article, said: "Yes, Tescum is a very remarkable remedy for the drink habit. It is harmless, wonderfully effective and is having an enormous sale. I advise everyone who wishes to destroy the liquor habit to give it a trial." You take no risk with Tescum, as it is sold in this city under a steel-bound money re fund guarantee by all druggists, in cluding J. Nelson Clark. TOO WEAK TO FIGHT The "Come-back" man was really never down-and-out.

Don't wait until you are entirely down-and-out, but take them to-day. Your druggist will gladly refund your money if they do not help you. Accept no substitutes. Look for the name GOLD MEDAL on every box, three sizes. They are the pure, original, Imported Haarlem Oil Capsules. PS Catarrh Of The Stomach Is Dangerous | "Thousands Have It and Don't * ♦ Know It," Says Physician. I | Frequently Mistaken For j I Indigestion—How to Rec- I ! I ognize and Treat. I "Thousands of people suffer more or less constantly from furred, coated tongue, bad breath, sour burning stomach, frequent vomiting, rumbling in stomach, bitter eructations, gas, wind, and stomach acidity and call it indigestion when in reality their trouble i s due to gastric catarrh of the stomach," writes a New York physician. Catarrh of the stomach is danger ous because the mucous membrane lining of the stomach is thickened and a coating of phlegm covers the surface so that the digestive fluids . cannot mix with the food and digest This condition soon breeds disease in the fermented, un assimilated food. The blood is pol luted and carries the infection throughout the body. Gastric ulcers are apt to form and frequently an ulcer is the first sign of a deadly cancer. In cataarrh of the stomach a good and safe treatment is to take before meals a teaspoonful of pure Bisurat ed Magnesia in half a glass of hot water as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water washes the mucus from the stomach walls and draws the blood to the stomach while the bisurated magnesia Is an excel lent solvent for mucus and Increases the efficiency of the hot water treat ment. Moreover, the Bisurated Mag nesia will serve as a powerful .but harmless antacid which will neutral ize any excess hydrochloric acid that may be in your stomach and sweeten its food contents. Easy, natural di gestion without distress of any kind should soon follow. Bisurated Mag nesia is not a lifxative, is harmless pleasant and easy to take and can be obtained from any local druggist •J!* ,f onf " 8e Bißurated Magnesia with other forms of magnesia milks citrates etc., hut get It in tfie pure bisurated form (powder or tablets) especially prepared for this purpose' G. A. Gorgas, THURSDAY EVENING, HAKRISBURG oAßftt Telegrxph SEPTEMBER 12,1918. after the Germans, the lieutenant re lates, they met the 109 th coming back with prisoners. "As the Pennsylvania boys were going by a tree with the captured Germans, a Boche slid down out of the tree pnd joined the squad. He had been hiding two days." I.ieutenant Nelson pays tribute to the skill of the artillerymen of the Iron division, which had gone info action shortly before he left the front, Witnessed V, S. Jlnrrago "I saw the first American barrage to advantage at Flsmette," he says, "and I never want one turned loose where I am. The town was one mass of smoke, dust and wreckage as the shell crept up from the water's edge. The last I saw of the Boche he was going good, bfetter than anything I ever saw." I.ieutenant George Reinhart, of the 109 th Feld Artillery, from the anthra cite field, has returned to Wllkes- Barre with stories of how these boys went to the front. From another officer of the 109 th Feld Artillery a letter describes vi vidly the work of the regiment on the firing line. He interrupts his description to write: "I had to stop for a few minutes | to fire on the Huns, so right now I am writing this letter in spells, while I am waiting for the observation of my shots out at the observation post. I think I got him on that last one." In a later paragraph the lieuten ant continues: "Just ceased firing and we hit what we were after." Private Plum L. Ewing, of Com pany F, 112 th Infantry, saved the life of a German soldier who begged for mercy and tglls about it in a letter to his home at Franklin. "We have Just finished a drive of nine miles, during which we did not lose a man. But the Huns lost a lot of men. The dirty cowards will dig a hole, put a machine gun in it and wait for us to come up on them. When we are about thirty yards away, they will start to shoot us up, and when we get closer they will throw up their hands yell 'Mercy, Kamerad!' But all the boys don't have mercy on them. "1 saw one German with a hole shot in his neck and decided to kill him. But he could speak a little English, and he told me he was only 17 years old. 'Pleape don't kill me,' he cried, 'for I am too young to die.' So I let him go. "The' other day we went into an old barn and looked out on a field and saw a Hun in a shell hole. I took a shot at him and at the same time he took a shot at me. We both missed. I was a little quicker and got the next shot in before he got his gun loaded and hit him in the neck, but didn't kill him; just a flesh wound. "Then another German with him jumped from the shell hole and start ed to hit the high hlaces. But he didn't go far before he hit the dust for a home run, shot through the stomach. Poor fellow, he never knew what hit him." "The Germans are shelling us heav ily, but down here in my dug-out I seem to be safe." writes Thomas Sharkey, 508 South Twentieth street, Philadelphia, previously reported missing, but now back with his com pany. He is 19 years old and is as signed to Company M, 110 th Infantry, (Captain E. J. Stackpole, Ja.), which suffered severe casualties in battle July 30. Sharkey was reported miss ing after the action. Daniel Morrow, 609 South Han cock street, Philadelphia, another member of Company M, who had been listed as missing since July 30, is now in a hospital recovering from wounds, according to a letter re ceived by his father. He described his wound as a "lucky shot." He is 19 years old and enlisted a year ago.

AMERICAN TROOPS AT ARCHANGEL TO FIGHT SOVIETS First U. S. Expedition Arrives on Murman Coast During Red Terror Flareup Washington, Sept. 12.—Announce ment by General March, chief of staff, that the first American Expedi tion had landed at Archangel to help the Allied operation against the Bol shevik from the Murmansk coast, was made last night a few hours af ter apparently authentic dispatches reached the State Department that Petrograd was burning and that peo ple in the streets were being massa cred indiscriminately in a flareup of the Russian Red Terror. For military reasons the number of soldiers landing was not revealed, nor was it made clear whence they had embarked. It was assumed, however, that the soldiers had been sent from English camps, where Americans are triflning. General March's announcement was made public through the com mittee on public information which issued this statement: "By order of General March, the safe arrival of American troops at Archangel is announced." After the Allied forces landed on the shores of the White Sea several months ago, there were reports that American troops were co-operating with them, but it subsequently de veloped that the forces were marines from American warships. The troops, the arrival of which is now an nounced, are the first from the Unit ed States to be sent into Northern Russia. Most of the troops are from states w t here the winters are like those in Russia. Their voyage was quick and tranquil. The men suffered few discomforts, except there was a heavy list of sea sick, said dispatches from Archangel announcing their arrival. Many of them speak the Russian language fluently. INVITATIONS ISSUED TO PIPE MILL'S RALLY Invitations were issued to-day for the big patriotic mass meeting in the Chestnut Street Auditorium on Sat urday evening to hear Dr. Robert Bagnell, of Grace Methodist Church, recently returned from the war front, tell of his experience and con ditions as he found them in France.

The meeting has been arranged especially for the 2,800 employes of the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bend ing Company and their families, but some other invitations have been is sued. Music will be furnished by the Municipal fßand. Give Your Old Rubber a%T *Jt Give Your Old Rubber To the Red Cross To the Red Cross IIEUL limi—23s UNITED HARRIS BURG, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1018.

Ainey, of the Public Service Commission, declaring against the proposed increase of street car fares from five to six cents, which the Harrisburg Railways 'Company in tends putting into effect October 1, two businessmen have made initial contributions to a fund designed io be spent in engaging counsel to legally combat the scheme of the corporation. The men, Irving E. Robinson, of Robinson's Woman's Shop, 20 Nortif Fourth street, and Max Reiter, pawnbroker and jeweler, 18 North street, have sent amounts of $5O and $5, respectively, to Charles F. Quinn, secretary of the Pennsylvania Fed eration of Labpr, whose oces are in the Commonwealth Trust build ing, offering the same as a nucleus wherewith to wage war on the "in creased fare proposition. Mr. Quinn has agreed to become treasurer of the fund. Discussing the matter yesterday, Mr. Quinn said: "The question in volved in 'the protest is not only the increased costs of operation and materials. Of course they have gone up. But it is one of ridding the company of stock not represented in physical .property. This is a big question and one that was put up to the last Legislature in a bill that proposed wiping out all water stock in railroad and stree.t railway prop erties by a system that would have worked no hardship on the innocent holders of the watered stock. This was for the companies to purchase in this stock with money used as dividends and to pay no dividends until all of the spurious stock had been taken in." Kenneth Eldridge Goes to Join the U. S. Navy Kenneth Eldridge, ("Punk") a well-known football player, son of George Eldridge, left this morning for Pier 19, Philadelphia.

WORKERS LISTED WELL IN ADVANCE Major Murdock Looks For Prompt Reports to Be Made by Local Boards Tonight Some of the local draft boards of Pennsylvania have registered a fair percentage of men employed in iron and steel, shipbuilding, munitions and other plants and on railroads, according to reports coming to Ma jor W. G. Murdock, state draft of ficer. In Pittsburgh local boards have been registering men for sev eral days who have been away from home or who are engaged in big es tablishments so that there will be no necessity for any suspension of op erations. "We look forward to about 1,100,- 000 Pennsylvania men registering to day. Boards have been getting ready •for days and I think will do what jhe government asks in fine style," said Major Murdock. "I hope that as soon as possible the Board will report their totals to this office by wire. They should report the to tals; the details can come after wards." Arrangements have been made for registering men who are in prisons by local boards. War has brought about a reduc tion of about forty per cent, in the prison population of Pennsylvania, declares Bromley Wharton, secretary and general agent of the State Board of Public Charities, in a report made to the Board. Mr. Wharton has completed a tour of many pris ons and institutions under state su pervision and says that the military and industrial conditions have un questionably brought about this sit uation. In a number of counties where prisoners are very few, they are being used to clean "courthouses and similar work, while in others where the number makes it worth while they are employed in farming and on road repairs. Kindness to Horses Lands Them in Jail Grand Forks, B. C. —Because they do not believe in working animals nine Doukhobors are spending ;?ix months in jail here. The Doukhobors were convicted or having entered a barn, turned loose the horses, stolen the harness and then set fire to the building. At the trial the men refused to give their names, saying they are "sons of God." One of them re cently burned his title deeds to his property, suggesting it was his in tention to "give it to Jesus." Germany Must Renounce Pan-German Ideas to Win Peace, Berlin Recognizes By Associated Press Stockltolnt, Sept. 1 .. —As the first step toward peace, Germany must renounce the pan-German ideas in the opinion of Professor Hans Del brueck, of the University of Berlin. In an article in the magazine Prus sian Year Book, he declared the pan- Germans not only bear a portion of the responsibility for the war but also the chief responsibility for its prolongation. He says: The world demands and has a right to demand that the German people give a giiaranty that the pan- German spirit, the spirit of superior ity, of might, of heathendom isn't the German spirit. The best method of showing the world that the German government has definitely and irre vocably shown the pan-German en deavors the door would be for the government to collect all of those ante-bellum pan-German incitations and demonstrate by means of our enemies' literature how greatly their conduct damaged us and helped to light the fires of this catastrophic war."

While the amount of taxes col lected is larger than in 1917, offi cials said that the increase in the rate from four to five mills was largely responsible. The state tax represents the amounts collected from persons with money on inter est such as judgments, mortgages, stocks, bonds and similar invest ments.
