A valuable mineral spring
has been discovered by W. H.
Ausley on his place in Graham.
It was noticed that it brought
heal lit to the users of the water,
and upon being analyzed it was
foil nil to be a water strong in
; mineral properties and good
fur stomach and.blood troubles.
I'hyMuianH ulio havo seen the
analysis and what it does,
recommend its use.

Why buy expensive mineral

In this disease it is important that

by giving Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, Mrs. P. H. Martin, Peru,

whooping cough. I gave them
ChamoerTain's Cough Remedy and it
worked like a charm.
That was a gracious message

This is a very painful and dan

-
-t
Washington.—Marriage since the
enactment of the selective draft law
no longer will be accepted as cause
for exemption from military service,
; except in the cases of men who have
become of age since June 5, 1917, who
may be exempted if they married bo
fore January 15, 1918.
Dependeucy claims on account

"Pleaco promulgate at once to lo
cal boards the following Important
amendment to the selective service
regulations:
"Rule 5, Section 72, SSR, Is amend
ed to read as follows:
"Rule SA. The fact of dependency
resulting from the marriage of a reg
istrant who has become 21 years of
age since June 5, 1917, and who has
married since the date of the intro
duction of the Joint resolution in Con
gress requiring his registration, to
wit, January 15, 1918, will be disre
garded as a ground for deferred class

sequent to the date of the enactment
of tho selective service law, to wit,

9, 1918, in which, case such a regis
trant upon satisfactory proof being
made shall be classified in Class 2.
"C If a registrant, other than one

with the primary view of evading mil

IS AMIE.NB WITH CHANNEL
COABT THE OBJECTIVE?
The impresion is rapidly strength
ening that the stage Is almost set for
renewal of the German main thrust
at the British around Amiens with the
channel coast as the objective.
Belief has never wavered among ths
majority of officers here that the real
purpose of the German general staff
has ben from the first to cut the al
lied armies apart by a drive | that
would carry them to the channel; that,
arrived at that goal, massed attacks
would be hurled against the northern
"sector for the purpose of destroying
the Britsh army while a strong de
fense was maintained against the
French to the south. The thrusts at
Paris have been looked upon as well
planned ami executed feints designed
to weaken the Amiens front before the
final effort should be made there.

GERMAN OFFENSIVE
NOW OH THE WANE
PIERCE RESISTANCE OP ALLIED
FORCEB HAVE CHECKED EN
EMY FOR TIME AT LEAST.
WAR GROSS FOR U.S. STLOIERS
Amrlcan Forces Buco««ifully Repulse
Heavy German Attack, and Inflict
Severe Loaaes on Enemy.
The offensive movements of the
Germans between Montdldler and
Noyon and from aouth of the Olsa
river to the eastern fringe of the for
est of Vlllora VOtterets apparently
are on the wane. In the former
the flerce resistance of the French
and the allied forces, for the time
being at least, have checked the en
emy at all points and on some sectors
the allies have even turned vigorously
upon the foe and forced him to cede
ground he had gained.
Only one attempt apparently was
made by the enemy to better his po
sitions near Montdldler. Here he
launched a violent counter-attack
from Courcelles to the north of Mery
—a front of about a mile and a half—
but was badly cut up by the fire of
the allied guns and forced to retreat,
leaving numerous dead and wounded
on the field.
East of Soissons they pentrated to
the village of Laversine, but were un
able to advance on any of the other
sectors, although at one time north of
Courcy French trenches were entered
under the force of the Impact.
A counter-attack resulted In these
trenches being recaptured almost im
mediately.
The sole result of the enemy's at
tack on the Montdldler-Noyon line up
to the present is that he has by the
violence of his attacks east of the
Oise and the forced retreat of the
French from the region west of tho
stream, blotted out the awkward
Noyon sa(lent and brought the battle
front more into direct alignment with
that beginning at the Alsne. And a
terrible price has been paid by the
Germans for this rectification of the
line.
The Germans again have endeavor
ed to force the Anjer'cans from posi
tions captured northwest of Chateau
Thierry, but again met with defeat
and the loss of numerous men.
American officers and men to the
number of 108, fighting on the Toul
sector, have been awarded the French
war cross for bravery and fidelity.
PRESIDENT APPROVEB
COMPULSORY WORK
Washington.—President Wilson has j
approved a nation-wide compulsory
work movement to supplement Pro-1
vost Marshal General Crowder's

other states of the Maryland compul
sory work law, under which the "work |
or fight" principle is made applicable

50. - General Crowder also has ap- j
proved tho movement and believes
that it not only will give greater ef- j
feet to hia new regulations, but will'
further aid the country In its task of
winning the war by reaching men be
low and above the draft ages.
