Cleaning Up Battlefield
Is a Whooping Big Job
By William PhlUp Simms.
(United Press staff correspondent.)
With the French Amny in Cham
pagne, Oct. 2-J. (By mail.) Cleaning
tip a battlefield is a whooping big job,
The battle of Champagne begun a
month ago and several regiments are
jrtill trying to make it presentable.
This battlefield, which will bje known
in future text books as in many ways
unique, is 15 miles long and three miles
wide, running east and west. As the
French advanced they faced the Ger
mans at its southern edge of it, their
trenches, cut in chalk white as curds,
being 00 to ZOO yards apart.
Two months before their drive the
French began to accumulate amuuition;
mass artillery, dig trenches, build nar
row and ataudard-guage railways; wide,
well-graded rook-and-gruvel highways
and other things of the sort.
September 22 the French artillery
turned loose a hell's fury of shells. A
German officer's letter, interrupted by
death, said the shelling resembled the
collapse of a world. Practically every
square yard of this 45 square miles of
ehalky ground was tossed into the air
by explosives. White as a sepulchre, it
is hard to believe that ever again will
man be able to make his home amid
these fields.
For three days the French poured mo
linite and chedite into the Merman's
barbedwire entanglements, steel turrets,
machine guns, armored trenches, secret
traps, hidden defenses, invisible wire
coils with cutting edges, centers of
resistance, fortified woods and what
not.
The Germans, their food supply cut
off because supply trains cou'.d not ap
proach, huddled at the bottom of thei
bomb-shelters 20 feet under the ground,
while their trenches were blown to
nothing. Homo companies lost half their
men during the bombarcYnont . alone.
Underground ammunition Btorcs explod
ed; shelters wore ripped up as though
they were roofed with paper inntead of
yards of stone nnd earth. . The world
never saw Buch shell fire.
At 9:15 a. m. on the 25th the French
infantry charged, and at 0:15 and a
half the house-cleaning began. As the
attackers entered what was left of the
Gorman first line trenches, the clean-up
began with -tiie bayoneting all roniaiu-1

ing Germans who offered resistance
and making prisoners of those who sur
rendered. Then the dead were thrown
out and the position turned around for
a possible counter-attack.
The dead Germans were buried in
their own trenches. I have heard th;
20,000 to 25,000 bodies were thus dis
posed of, while bodies at the bottom of
cave-ins, under destroyed bomb-shelters
and in like places were left in the
graves of .their own choosing,
Brand new cemeteries were made for
the French who fell. The new graves
are cunous. There being no time to
place crosses or head stones to mark
the graves, a wine bottle,, with name
and (matriculation number corked in
side, ig stuck nock down in the middle
of each new mound. In eases where
identification was impossible, the dead
are buried in a common grave with
some such mark as this serving for all :
"Horo He the bodies of 27 French
soldiers wro died for their country."
The dead removed, the cleaning-up
continues. Broken transports, shattered
wheels, splintered planks, clothing,
German and French helmets, ammuni
tion, guns, swords, books, shoes, revol
vers, and numberless other odds and
ends including arms and legs lie pro
misculnusly about on the churned-up
earth. These all must be disposed of.
This is a sanitary war. If there have
been no plagues It is because the cleaning-up
has been thorough. All this
gruesome collection is disposed of hy
glenically. Useable material is parked
and sont to the rear; guns are stacked
in orderly piles, according to make;
bayonets and scabbards and swords
and head-sear and all the rest, ditto.
The stuff is listed and shipped and re
ceipts and way-bills are all properly
made out and signed and sealed.
Then . the advancing army settles
down in its now home. It had made a
fairly comfortable place during the
months of waiting, but all tnis nos
been left behind and a new start is
made. The former quarters of German
officers and men are transformed, with
much scouring and furbishing and dis
infecting, into quarters for the French
officers and men.
Today the battlefield of Champagne
Is comparatively clean. But one still
occasionally stumps one's toe against
something or other very unpleasant.

DIE BEFORE ONE YEAR
The Census Bureau estimates that
300,000 babies died in this country last
year before the age of one year, and it
is stated that one-half of these deaths
were needless if all mothers were
strong and infants were breast-fed.
Expectant mothers should strive to in
crease their strength with the strength

improves the blood, Suppresses ner
vousness, aids the quality of milk, and
feeds the very life cells.
Physicians prescribe Scott's Emul
sion; it is doubly important during

Police Judge Receives
Letter From Black V
City Recorder Charles Elein yester
day morning received a letter from the
"Black Mit" which la probably the
Juvenile department of the Block
Hand. It appears that a bunch of
boys were soized with the notion to
charivari Frank Noedtiam who has
been recently married and resides on
South Capital street. The boys were
making considerable din and as it was
in the vicinity of Mr. Elgin's homo he
went out and scattered the bunch with
their inharmonious musical instru
ments. Sunday morning the iudee found
pinned on the door of his garage the
letter winch informed mm, "you aint
no offisore nud have got no rite to
butt in. Bewonr the bluck Mit." The
letter was signed with a large black
hnnd but tho perpetrators left the pa
per smeared with the imprints of their
fingers and should the boys ever be
haled into police court it would be an
easy mutter to identify them from
their thumb prints wi,ch they left on
the letter.

SALEM POLICE RAID
Six Chinese and Two Japs
Booked On Charge, of
Playing Fan Tan
The-Salem police brought nine Chinese
and two Japs to the station at noon
yesterday after a raid on the rooms at
149 South High street where they say
a gambling game was in progress.
Three of the Chinese were said to be
mere spectators and were not booked
but the othor six and the two Jap
anese were charred with engairin? in
a gambling game commonly known as
run tan .
The officers brought the fan tan
layout and $24.80 in cash to the sta
tion where it was held as an exhibit in
the trial which will be held tomorrow
morning. The Chinese enraged A. O.
Condit at their attornev and Mr. Con-
dtt took Si hours to enter a plea for
aiB clients. Tno Chinese were re
quired to put up $25 bail for each one
and they immediately furnished $00
in casu.
The officers decided to make the
raid at 12:30 yesterday aad knocked
at the outer door which contained a
pane of glass. A Chinese came to the
door but refused admission and turned
and ran for the inside room. The of
ficers went through the door and fol
lowed in at the man's heels. Accord
ing to the story of the officers, the oc
cupants of the room were grouped
around a table where the beads, but
tons, money and mysterious pasteboard
slips were spread out. Three Chinese
scurried out through, the back door but
the officers halted the other eleven and
took charge of the paraphernalia.
rne uiinese protested against tneir
a-rest with their well known fluency
but the officers consider they have a
good case against them. Officers
Htubbs, Nicholson and Varney made
the raid.
The Chinese gave the names of Lem
Sing, Jim, Wong, Oin, Lai and Leon
doing, the two Japanese were Riu and
Oyu.
HERE'S NEW VIGOR FOB
OVERWORKED STOMACHS
Daniol J. Fry, the popular druggist,
has been in the drug business long
enough to have his own opinion of the
best way of gelling medicines. He says
the plan adopted by Mi-o-na, the great
dyspepsia remedy, is the fairest he has
ever heard of. He doesn't believe that
a medioine ought to be paid for unless
it does the user some good. And Mi-o-
na la sold under a positive guarantee
to relieve dyspopsia or to refund the
money. You simply leave 60 cents on
deposit with Daniol J, Fry and if, after
you have used the box of Mi-o-na you
decide that it has done you no good, all
you have to do is to tell him so and he
will return your money.
Hundreds of people have been relieved
of stomach agonies by nsine this re
markable remedy. It is not simply a
food digester; it is a medicine that puts
an or the digestive organs into normal
condition and gives ruddy, glowing, vig
orous health. A change for the better
will be seen aftor the first few doBes
of Mi-o-na, and its continued use will
soon give the power to cat anything at
any time and not Buffer distress after
ward. Mi-o-na is sold under a positive guar
antee to refund the money if it does
not cure. This is the strongest proof
that can be offered as to the merit of
the medicine.
Nothing lessons a man's success in
hia work or a woman's fascinating per
sonality more than a weak stomach,
with its attending evils. Use Mi-o-na
and see how much more there is in life.
