WITH THE imiTISII ARMY IN
FRAN'CK, May 23. (By the Abso
rlated PresB.) German airmen a?atn
have bombed heavily RritLsh hos
pitals in the area behind the lines
and this time have kelled and wound
ed some hundreds nmong the per
sonnel and patientH of many differ
ent iiospitals in the group. Record
ed in the casualty lift are the names
of several sisters, who with other
women nur.ses stood bravely by their
posts thruout the terrific delude of
explosives.
There is in the neighborhood one
laro hospital and another in which
there arc American workers but
neither of there appears to have suf
fered. Last summer a number of
American dorlors and nurses were
killed and wounded when these same
hospitals were rallied by the Ger
mans. Four I'leWs of llun-i.
This latest horror was perpetrated
Sunday night, apparently by four
squadrons of enemy planes whh h ap
pear to have comprised more (ban a
score of maHitncs. A great number
of bombs were dropped, about I!0 per
cent of them huge affairs which dug
vast craters In the hospital grounds
and the rest high explosive, shrapnel

With a shrug of his shoulders the
Gorman captain added that If the
Rritlsh chose to build their hospitals
near railways they must expect to
get them bombed.
The captain spobo excellent Eng

It, hcrcptled that ho had been in
diplomatic service beforo the war.
Sunday night's raid was divided
Into two phases, the first of which
begun shortly after 10 o'clock and
lasted until 11 o'clock. Not satisfied
with this, the enemy returned at
11:40 o'clock and heavily bombed

WASHINGTON, May 23. Definite
announcement that Commander Pel

was contained in a cable dispatch to
the Italian embassy today from

TEHS, Saturday, May IS. (By the
Associated Press.). The details of
the recent Italian nail exploit at
Polo show that It was one of the
most audacious feats of the war,
worthy to rank with the British at
ZeebniKRo and Merrhnae at Santi-

Lieutenant Commander Pellesrln ,
who adopted unusual means of se
crecy to safeguard the project.
To divert attention, he took serv
ice in the trenches on the Piave, and
when ho wa3 ready to start, gave
out that he was going to visit his
friends. He was accompanied by an
other officer and two sailors.
The party was escorted by destroy
ers and arrived at Pola at 2 o'clock
in the morn iir. It was very dark, as
tho moon had been down two hours.
A IlKht wind blew off shore, which
prevented the sounds of preparation

Tho entrance to the channel was
loft yards across, with a Ions neck
leading into the grout harbor in
which lay Austria's fleet of battle
ships, cruisers and destroyers, en
circled by a crowning terrace of land
batteries.
In the obscurity the guard ship
at the entrance was dimly vi.iiblo
swung to one side, the guards appar
ently .sleep. Thero was completo
lack of watchfulness.
Final preparation was now made
for a dash in the darkness. Com
mander . Pellegrini and his compan
ions put on rubber suits which could
bo Inflated. Their plan was to dis
charge torpedoes at the big ship, then
blow tip their own craft, Jump over
board and await capture or drowning
All realized that there was prac
tically no chance of returning alive.
Pellegrini was perfectly cool as he
bade good-bye, his superior officer
aying, "your are putting your head in

Take Care of Your Tires
America's greatest need is for ships more ships.
Every available vessel is being utilize in govern
ment service.
Many ships that have been carrying rubber from
Sumatra and Brazil have been taken for active trans
port duty.
This will necessarily force a temporary curtailment
of tire production.
So, make the most of the tires you have.
Use good tires.
Take good care of them. Keep them in perfect re
pair. See that they are properly inflated.
Increase their mileage by careful driving. Keep out
of car tracks and away from bumps. Don't scrape
the curb or apply brakes too suddenly.
Get every mile your tires have in them.
Only in that way can you be assured of your car's
continuous service.
United Stales Tires

Dear Sirs:
1 don't think there was ever anybody, man, woman or child who was
or is more constip.tcd than my little three year oM boy was. Why sir, he
was so bad before we got him the Nujol tliat we would have to leave his
bowels unmoved for three or four days, then use almost a cjuart of water
in a syringe to-move them. The poor lktle fellow would almost go into
spasms and his father could never stay in the room where he was! It would
take almost an hour's work to get them to move.
lie fiad been constipated for two years. I think tiie patr.u mcr.iiMfi
did it. I have known thi doctor to be here and give him live tablespoons
of castor oil, one every half hour to get his bowels to move.
We tried four different doctors, one a well known specialist, but none
could help him. Thrte advised operations, said it was the only cure. 1
have always had a horror of operations and I guess always will.. -
We were going to try a well known woman doctor who claims she
cures without an operation, when I coaxed my husband to let me try
Nujol. I liad read so much about it, Z told him even it it didn'r help him
it would not hu;t. We tried it, started giving him three tablesjHXjn tills a
day, one afcer each meal, then as his bowels moved better we decreased the
dese as per directions. We used two bottles and a half and we cured him.
How thankful we were. Tears come to my eyes, even now, when I
think of how that poor little fellow suffered. Just think a little tJt, kardiy
able to talk prainly. 1.
He has not taken a drop of it since last June. I have wanted to
