tille Day, a new generation of Yanks have entered the city of Paris. Behind General Pershing is 1st Lieut.
W. J. Cunningham, bearing the General’s standard, followed by Maj. Gen. James G. llarbord, chief of staff,
A. E. F., and on the grey horse, Gen. George C. Marshall, present chief of staff, who was then Colonel

Allies Passing World War I Old Battlegrounds
Map showing general direction of the twin drives of the D. S. Third army toward German territory. The
arrows drive through the battlefields of World War I, where the fathers of present-day doughboys wrote a
brilliant page of American military history. The column driving from Troyes (1) is believed to be headed
for Luxembourg. The push that drove across the Marne from the Seine (2) might yet spring a surprise and
flank the rocket coast (3) from which the Germans launch their robots. Except in case of complete col
lapse, the going is expected to become tougher as Allies enter German territory.

ruins of a block of flats struck by a German robot bomb in South Eng
land. Tart of the building is still blazing in background. Recent figures
released said that 17,000 homes are destroyed every 24 hours by the
flying bombs. The total number of casualties caused by robots is not

Elephants Are Not Afraid
Of Mice; Can’t See Them
How would you like to be a* ele
phant and carry those big heavy
teeth called tusks around all day?
You have heard a lot of things
about an elephant that could
scarcely be true. For instance,
ever hear that elephants are
afraid of mice? According to keep
ers of the zoo at Philadelphia, ele
phants pay no attention to mice.
They probably don’t even see them
as their eyes are none too good.
But, you say, elephants pick up
peanuts with their trunks. They
do, but that’s no sign they see
them. You see, an elephant’s trunk
tells him what is going oa better
than eyes or ears.

Symptoms may be nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffincse
under the eyes—a feeling of nervous
anxiety and loss of pep and stmigth.
Other signs of kidney or Madder dis
