A Graham Soldiers' Letter.
The letter below is from Lacy B.
Bradshaw to Mr. Robert L Holmes,
written on July 19th at Aix-les-
Banis:
Am now down in the foot hills of
the Alps taking a seven,day rest.
This is some place, believe me,
and I must say that if I stay seven
days —well my digestive organs will
be running like this good old spring
water, up mountain pass over
there, or rather down that mountain
pass. Ye s it is the most picturesque
.place in all my travels. Of course I
have not traveled but about twelve
thousand miles within the last
twelve months, and you know n
thousand a month won't harm any
one, and if I stay here seven days
my appetite will be like an Ameri
can machine gun, when turned on
the Bosche —boy, it will mow those
rations down.
I am one of the very fortunate BOl
lats to get this permission. There
are very few soldiers here, but every
one is assigned to his liot'l and he
really forgets that he's in the army.
He's free just as he would be iu civil
li/e. No reveille, no retreat, nothing
but comfort and good things to eat
Undo Sam pays the bill, chickie,
ice cream, cake, lemonade and the
best mineral water in tho world.
There are no exceptions whatsoever
here; the Casino and all Club-houses
are wide open to all—a back is as
good as a general, and in fact, when
vou see some of them strolling
down down Boulevard de Pierpont
Morgan with that English cane iu
the air you would really have to
think a bit before you could distin
guish the saldat Arnericaine from
King George. lam slopping at
"C Hotel de Marloz" and in fact I
thought New York was some place
to spend the summer, especially
around Niagar i, but no place like
the Alps. We will take the clog
railway up the incline this afternoon
to see the snow covered peaks.
You can go to the pass whero
Hannibal crossed (lie Alps on his
way to Home—it is just a short dis
lance from here and of course it's
very historical.
Well, 1 can't suy more, because
the c?nsor has some job here, 1 only
wish that you and all thehard work
ing peoplo of the town could come
here to rest. It would make new
men out of you and would bo well
worth the price. There is nothing
in this old world for a man but
health and my motto is not. million*
but "Health First" and then, I/ you
will pardon me, it's "Graham
Next."
1 loave Ihe real for your imagina
tion, with best wishes to ull.

Turk The feeling was universal
that the Holy Cit.v should be re

it is forever associated. This is a
fine sentiment, but finer and vast

CRISIS IN ALLIED
OFFENSIVE HEAR
ALU ALONQ FRONT OF 86 MILES
ALLIED FORCE* HAVE STEAD
ILY PRESSED ENEMY.
SOISSONS IKS BEEN RETAKEN
Americans Now Con.trol Almost All
Hill and Forest Country In
Bouth«m Area.
Ths crisis in the allied offensive on
the Soissons-Rhelms salient appar
ently has been reached. French troops
hare entered the town of Solsions, the
western anchor point of what remains
of the famous salient, and all along
the 36 miles of curving battle line
from Soissons to Thilols, which lies
•bout three miles west of Rhelms.
French, American and British troops
have pushed in the entire enemy front
and sent the Qe:-mans backward ev
erywhere In precipitate retreat* Over
the battle front the allies, by quick
and forcible methods of onslaught,
have deeply Indented the Qerman de
fense line for splendid gains, which
•eomlngly foreshadow the necessity
of the eventual retirement of the
forces of tho German crown prince
to more tenable ground in the north.
The plains behind the northwestern
portion of the battle front now are
entirely dominated by the allied big
guns. In the south the French and
Americans have negotiated almost all
of the hill and forest country and are
encroaching precipitately toward the
Flames railway, while on the east the
British and French are astride
the Rhnlms Solssons railway and have
their guns now so placed that the en
emy Is sure to be sorely tried as he
endeavors to press back and gain a
haven of refuge along the Vesle river.
Just how far the retreat of the Ger
mans will go cannot at presont be
forecast, but with the southern line
swinging northward In conjunction
with that on the east toward the
Vesle, and with the French dominat
ing the Alsae eastward from Soissons,
It Is not Improbable that the Qer
mans may he compelled to take refuge
north of tho Alsne.
Numerous towns and hamlets have
been captured by the allied troops
during the latest lighting and at some
points they have advanced from two
to three miles. South of Soissons the
entire Crlse river has been fordod by
the allied troops, northeast of Fore
en-Tardenois the allied line has been
pushed well to (he east of the region
of Grand Rozoy and the town of Sa
ponay has been taken. In the center
the Neslea wood Is being swept cloan
of Germans by the French cavalry
and American and French, troops are
pressing the Germans hard north of
Sergy and the hamlet of Nesles.
Further eastward almoxt to the
gates of Uhelms, combined forces of
British and French everywhere are
sorely harassing the enemy. In this
latter region, In addition to Thilloli
tho village of Vllle-en-Hardenols Is In
•illed hands and tho French now are
on the heels of the Oermans two an 4
a half miles north of the Dormans-
Rhelms high road over a front of
nearly four mllos.
Altogether, viewed from the war
maps, the situation for the allied
troops at'present is a most promising
one for complete success In ridding
the Soissons-Rhelms salient entirely
of the enemy.

During the hot weather of tiie

almost every family is likely to he
troubled with an unnatural loose
ness of the bowels, and it Is of the
greatest Importance thit this he
treated propmptly, which can only
be done when the medicine is kept
on hand. Mrs. P. P. Scott, Scotts
ville, N. Y., states, "I first used
Chamberlain's Colic and Diiyrhoea
Remedy us much as five y ears ago.
At that time I had a severe at
tack of summer comprint and was
suffering intense pain. One dose
relieved me. Other members of my
family have since used it with like
results' Po- sale by al dealers.
A high authority hays Iho (ier

at the front. The number of
crystal gazers is not mentioned,
but it probably is large.
It is time to begiu to talk about
