THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1918. THREE The Branch House s This is one of the Swift & Company Branch House Men. They are all pretty much alike in the way they feel toward their work and that is what this ad is about They know that most people couldn't get such good meat promptly and in good condition if it weren't for the branch houses of which they are in charge. They know that the branch house is one of the most important links in the chain of preparing and distributing meat for a nation. . ' They know that Swift & Company must have its branch houses run at the highest notch of usefulness; that even a Swift & Company branch house won't run itself, and that it is up to the branch house man to run it properly. Any branch house man who doesn't see his work in this light is transferred to some other place with Swift & Company to which he is better adapted. They are picked men, these branch house men. Every time you sit down to a steak or chop, or cut of roast, you can give a grateful thought to the whole crew of them. And remember, in a general'way, that everything that makes life smoother and more convenient for you is the result of the thoughtfulness and effort of a lot of people of whom you have never heard.

Of his travels, he writes as follows: "I hav arrived in this land that they say is a little bit of heaven. This is tUc first day of August and I guess it is supposed to be summer but it is raining the same as usual. The Irish call this "soft" weather but it is not so soft for a fellow that has to stay out in it all day. "I have bevn ovcr most of Eng land and Ireland. Of the Scotch people 1 have met 1 think 1 will like them better than the English or Irish. I got a card from Lloyd Lee the other day.

"The English soldiers are called 'Limmies' or Lime-juicers. We see very few of them although thvre are quite a mibcr of English soldiers in this par of Ireland. "They have a drink over hero they call "Stout" that they claim cannot be equalled by any American beer. I guess it cau't bc in strength anywav.

First came a telegram from Major General Barnett of the mariue corps, to Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Jacobs, former residents of Shedd, Or., telling them that their son, Private Lester H. Jacobs, 19 years old, was killed in battle on July 19 by an enemy snen in ranee. Following on this came the name of Bay H. Moses, 21 years old, son of Eugene Moses of Jacksonville, and member of the Second engineers, in tho official list of killed in battle in France on July 1. Then fame tho announcement in a letter written in France on August 13 by a fellow lieutenant in his aviation squadron, relating that on August 11 Lieutenant Newell Parber, 20 years old, ssn of Dr. and Mrs. M. C. Barb-r, of Medford, met with an accident to his plane while on a bombing expedi tion over the enemy's lines. Since that time nothing had been heard from him up to the time the letter was written. 1 IS '1 Simply Feel Like a New Man," Says Welch, After Taking Tanlac "To look at me now you'd hardly think that just a little while co -my lifo was despaired of and I wns told to make my plans accordingly; but Tanlac has fixed me up so I am out in tho fields every day forking hay, and that's o strong man's job I can tell you." This remarkable statement was made tho other day by William Welch, a well known farmer who has lived all his life about a mile northeast of Beaver ton, Oregon, on routo 4, box 31, in tell ing of hiB wonderful recovery through the use of Tanlnc. "I had always enjoyed pretty good health up to the first of last March," ho continued, "when somotliing seem ed to1 go wrong and I got into such a rundown condition that I fell off from a hundred and fifty five to a hundred and thirty two pounds, a les of twen ty eittht rounds.

I got mighty discouraged, for nono of tho medicines I took did me any good and I really thought my timo had come. , "1 was in this awful fix when I read about tho wonderful way Tanlac was helping otherB, so I got mo a bot tle. Well, 1 began, to feel: better soon after starting on it and kept on im proving right along as 1 kept on taking it. I have just finished my second bot tle, and I have not only gotten back all my lost weight but am actually five pounds heavier than I was before 1 was sick at all, that is I have gained twenty eight pounds since 1 began tak ing Tanlac.

Gorat. (t'nited Press Staff Correspondent.) Washington, Sept. 13. Tho American attack on thc St, Mihiel sector was a i complete Burpnso to the Germans, ac i cording to reliable information at the :war department today. The Germans' i-wcru completely fooled by the apparent ' inaction of the Americans, which result ed from direct orders not to fir-e ar i tiilery and not to show any signs of un ! uiml activity up to the appointed hour. Tho now famous Foch "squeeze play" is being applied successfully in the Am. erican drive. The Tvutons are literally being squeezed out out of the salient which I had St. Miliiel as its apex. Army ex ports today foresaw that quickly the l bochc must puli out of that salient at ! face a catastrophe. I Pressure on both flanks of th sa llient has k-ft tho wedge narrower and I it now appears that it will be only a short timo before the line is straight ened out completely, running from i'res ncs to Pont-A-Moiisson, Eight thousand prisoners had been (taken by tho Pershing forces up to the time thc commanding general sent Ins communique last night. The bag, takvn with a maximum ad vance of five iles the first day, was a remarkable success.

The tanks 100 Or more of them wvro used, ac cording to United Tress dispatches, have struck torror to the heart of the boche and neither his infantry nor his machine gunners can stand before them That th operations started yester day can be designated as major was the general thought hore today. It cov ered too wide a front and appeared to have too strong a pressure behind to bo simply a largv local movement. Besides making it possible, to reach German soil by the shortest possible route, this action is destined to reliovo pressure on tho allit-g farther north, army officers say. The Gorman concen tration around St. Quentin had becomo considerable and the allide advance was considerably slowed up thereby. Incidentally, the present action may bo part of a plan to run tho Germans out of Prance and Belgium by the snmo routes they took in entering four years ago. General March, chief of staff, has said that it is entirely fensiblo to push tho boche back through these two chan n els and it is conceivable that that in tho major strategy behind Foch's smashes. American army men are gratified at tho United States' push bocnuse it shows a determination to give the Hun no rest. Some had feared that a deadlock was coming in tho west and that it would not be broken until spring, whan Am erica begins to reach the peak of her four million army plan. However, this brilliant offensive proves conclusively that Poch docs not propose to give the Gurmnn a chance to repair and rti-form his armios. American casualties are believed to havo been Binall compared to tho mag nitude of the operations, especially aa at somw points of tho advance the Ger mans had been blown out of their po sitions and retired hastily.
