HOW RESINOL CURED ITCHING SKIN TORMENT Baltimore, Md., May 23, 1914: "My limbs from knee to ankle were com pletely covered with, eczema for a year. I hated to go in company, it Itched and burned so badly. I had no rest at night. I tried a good many remedies for eczema, both liquid and salve, but they did me no good, only made the skin more rough and scaly.

THRILJJNG STORY OF BATTLE Description of the Retreat of the Ger ' mans to the Alsne ' and the Des perate Fighting That Accom- i panled and Followed 1C ' By HERBERT TEMPLE. European Manager of the lnternation . al News Service. : London. German troops are dying to the music of their regimental bands in the valley of death along the Aisno. by day and night. . - ; ; '-. Their losses are colossal, says an English correspondent who sends his story from La Ferte-Milon, south of Soissons. ' ' . ' ; Describing a counter-attack made by the Germans, he says: - "They came on singing, with their drums beating behind them. Even at night they had their bands to play them on to attack. "We met them in the holes they had themselves dug, and, as a French soldier who told the story, said: 'You know, in a fight like that we had them at a disadvantage,' for our bay onets are longer than , theirs, only all these -straps about our chests and shoulders get in our way and hin der our movements. The Germans are better off in that respect and so are your soldiers, as they can use their arms freely. Tle Germans would break for a while and go back, but as soon as we sent them back another lot would come on, and so it went, time after, time." -.Sees Waste of Battles. The same correspondent sends this soul-stirring story of the , battle that had entered its second week: "From the battlefield of Marne I worked my way northward through Chantilly and Senlis to Cropy-en-Valois to this valley'of death. I came by night through lands wasted by the feet of tens of thousands of armed men and by innumerable wheels . of the world's greatest armies. C "It was a strange, terrible experi ence, 1 All along the route I saw death and- destruction. I saw -dead men and dead horses, villages in ruin and railway rolling stock scattered over bare fields. A great water tank, hurled from its base, was lying dere lict amongst - ruined hay stacks. I saw a transport wagon, its wheels smashed, leaning dizzily over the bodies of the brave men who failed to save it from destruction, and who refused to leave it. "I have seen on this road sights that convince me that the retreat was not only swift, but precipitated to a point of actual panic. , Reasons for Retreat. "It. was Aisne or destruction. It is necessary to realize that just as the allied army, on its way "from Mons to Paris, was in danger of the Ger man flanking movement which threat ened to overwhelm it, so was General von Kluck's ' right flank, in its re treat -from Paris to Aisne, In extreme danger. To avoid annihilation, he fled to a position of tremendous strength toward the west. It was absolutely essential to his safety to gain the position of "Aisne. "One must not lose sight of the su preme fact of the present situation that just as the junction of the Ourcq and Marne atMeaux made that town the key of encounter last week, so the junction of the Oise and the Aisne at Compeigne has endowed the lat ter with cardinal importance. Once across the. Aisne, the German army had the River-Oise on its right, and, for the moment, the danger of being out-flanked was averted. 'This was the position on Sunday, September 13, the first day of the great frontal battle! "On the- right the army was pro tected by the forests of Algle and. by the River Oise, which descends al most due south -from Noyon. It was and Is an extremely strong position and one capable of only a frontal at tack, r ' , Open Attack on Sunday. "It was clear, from, the outset that these i fortified positions .must be fought for , and taken, no matter how great" the effort or how terrible the sacrifice. Happily, the time afforded General" von Kluck's army for prep-; aration was short,-,due to the fact that the allies, although1 tired by the long pursuit of the 9th, 10th,. 11th and 12th, lost no time in opening, the attack on Sunday. ; v t ,'. . ; "Sunday proved to be a day of tre mendous importance. : With the ex ception of one small structure and a railway: bridge " girder,' all , the bridges across the river . near -'this point had been blown up. It was ob vious that pontoon bridges;; must be constructed;" and, to o work ? out this aim, an artillery duel was begun with the Germans, whose position was such that they . commanded the ( river dur ing a greater ; part v of its ' course in that section. " j - y , - Great Artillery Duel. , , :i "The ' artillery battle that began early Sunday and lasted z throughout the greater portion of the day. was ef terrific-' chjuracter.. 7 The- heaviest eTins of 'the enemy were brought into" Play, enabling-the enemy to make a great showing at the longer ranges. " ' ."The valley of the river became an Inferno, From height to height the great guns belched forth their fire in terHfic fashion. Huge shells went shrieking .across the river and: the river meadows..' .;''':-...;.. '.'"''..:': ' 'The enemy poured a withering fire upon the allied troops and engineers that were engaged in building pon toon bridges. The pontoons ' are car ried on wagons especially construct ed for their transportation. It is nec essary to bring these pontoons to the water's edgei : launch them and then lash them . together. ,. . ;. .. m- "The scene by ; this time had become fearful and beyond; the description of words. ? To the terrible grandeur of it ,was added the sight of Germon and French aeroplanss hovering over the battlefields.; Time and again they dashed across the river to ' recon noiter and carried' on their work suc cessfully, although they were sub jected to a terrific fife from the Ger man guns especially made for the purpose of bringing down airships. "Finally the . allied army, foot by foot, began to advance toward '-. the river bank. Thanks to the presence off the small,' unbroken bridge, - the English troops were . able to effect a" crossing of the river comparatively early, while the French, showing great bravery, began crossing the river jn single file by using the steel girder. I ;'. -: .- ; u Germans Forced to Retire. "In the meantime the engineers re newed their task of pontoon bridge building ' and columns of troops crossed the Tiver. By nightfall the crossing of the river had been ef fected and the. enemy was forced to retire. "It was clear that this retirement was not to be accepted as a victory for the allies, as all night long search lights swept the river, and opposing generals attempted to carry out vari ous strategic moves with a view, to renewing the combat the next day. Desultory firing was kept up through out the night. "At a certain period during the night it became exceedingly important that the enemy should have no knowl edge of the position of a detachment of he British Infantry, which was up close to the enemy. A stray shot struck one of the British soldiers, shattering a bone in his arm. .Uttered No Sound. ;"Had he let a cry escape him the discovery of the British detachment would have been made. But 'this wounded soldier never uttered a cry. "Monday dawned cold and windy; and showers . fell occasionally. ; The Germans began building little pits, while the allies also entrenched them selves against heavy bombardments. "At times the enemy attempted to take the offensive, and even suc ceeded, within small areas, in forcing back the allies just as the allies suc ceeded elsewhere in forcing back the enemy. ' - ' "It now became evident that this was no rear guard ' of Germans that was engaged, but that it was a de termined stand of the army of Gen eral von Kluck. Moreover it was strongly suspected that German ' re- enforcements were coming up. "On Tuesday afternoon a very se vere attack was made by the enemy who evidently had been re-enforced and who seemed determined to break through the allied lines between Vic sur-Aisne and Soissons. This attack was heralded by a tremendous out burst of the heavy German artillery, followed by a systematic advance of the infantry. "The infantry of the allies, aided by machine guns, stoed their ground; however, in a most splendid fashion, pouring a deadly fire into the attack ing Germans. At certain points the allies repulsed the Germans at the point of bayonets. "With unabated fury tnis battle . continued all night . and throughout Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday night the Germans, In,, great fury, attacked the French in the region near Reims. Three times they attacked, and on each occasion they were repulsed with heavy losses. "On Thursday the Germans attacked the English with equal fierceness in the neighborhood of Soissons, and a'gain they were hurled back with tremendous losses. "The first L sign of weakening . on the part of the Germans was noticed Thursday afternoon after their fierce attacks on that n day had been re pulsed with huge losses. v "The battle then was almost a week old. The soldiers wearied by their pursuit of the fleeing- Germans and even more wearied and careworn by the constant fighting since Sunday, however, were kept upr by - their - in domitable will power. Shells , burst over them- and all around them, but they minded; them not, They had faced bullets; bayonet and shells that carried their ; message of death -". so Often that they had become used to it. Every Inch Contested. ; ; "As night fell on Thursday, the al lies began; to drive back; the Germans along the extreme west of the posi tion back from the river bank; that is, Noyon. : The work was slow, and laborious and the Germans contested every inch of the way.. .. . . v v jThe attack' of the allies -was relent less and foot by - foot the Germans backed away. . At , - last , the allies gained six ; miles and took the heights above the river.' "The "allies '.took 600 prisoners and a number of machine, guns. ? "A German prisoner, told me- that the courage and the recklessness of the French and British; during; those 'charges amazed the Germans. ; - . . r "Przemysl."

How Europeans Get Our Gold.; - Do you know just' how. Europe re cently got that $125,000,000 in Amer ican gold. Well, here is the way it was done: "Europeans hold great amounts in American securities which is to say they have bought bonds is sued in this Country. When the war crisis came they saw the need of. ac tual money in place of these bonds.' They cabled to their American bro kers to sell at the market price. They ' took whatever they could get,7 but there was always something offered, so the sales were heavy. The purchasers of these bonds gave their checks.' These .the brokers cashed at their banks and got curren cy. This currency of the United States is made good by. the deposit of gold in the treasuries. For every gold certificate in existence there is the . actual metal. In the treasury. So the brokers, getting the currency from 'the banks, went to the sub-treasury in New York and asked for the actual gold. They - received it and sent the gold to their customers abroad.
