' Washington, April 29. Formal an nouncement that American troops sent to reinforce the allied armies have taken part in the fighting is 'liade today by the War department in ts weekly review of the situation. "Our forces have taken part in the battle," says the statement briefly. 'American units are in action east of ' Amiens. Daring the engagement Thlch have raged in this area they have acquitted themselves, well." The review in emphasizing the im mediate need of fresh men to with stand the German onslaught, adds that America's imperative duty is to pro vide replacement units for the French front. Enemy Seeks Decision. "la addition to those already called to the ' colors," says the statement, "and those in training at our canton ments or already selected for se ice, very large quotas will be required in the immediate future to fill the gaps." In this connection the review points out that "the enemy is seeking a decision that will end the war and the outcome of the present opera tions depends upon man power.".. The statement mentions the attack r. American positions at Seicheprey, northwest of Tout Here, on April 20, the rev lew says, the Germans swept over American lines on a front of three kilometers, but subsequently gave up the ground occupied. The department's statement is as follows: . ' Man 1-ower to Decide. "The outcome of the present oper ations in the wesKtlepends on man power. "The Germans are relying princi pally on rifles, machine guns, man power and carefully thought out meth ods of transporting and supplying munitions to the front of attack un- ier all conditions,, which means that fhev have developed mobility of ot- fensiveiaction that can only be met by counter measures of equal potency . and flcxibili y. , - "A battle i such magnitude as the one being fcughf in the west cannot be decided by any single engagement. yet there arise a series of crises on which the ultimate outcome depends.

(Copyright. 1IH. by Small, Maynard A Co., Inc.) Arthur James McKay, "Shellproof Mack," of Scotch-Irish parentage, was destined by his parents, who lived at Northampton, Mass, for the priest hood. His spirit was too adventurous for a career of that character, however, and after his graduation from the military school at Norwich, Mass., he became an actor, and finally a movie producer. He weighed less than 100 pounds, and at the sinking of the Lusitania he felt sure that this country would en gage immediately in war with Ger many. He was disappointed and pen niless; he went to England on a horse boat and, after several rejections, finally got into one of the bantam regiments of the British army. He underwent a period of training and passed his first night in the French trenches under harrowing experiences. After the first trip over the top he was woundeJ and applied for dis charge on ground of being an Ameri can citizen. He tore up papers and re turned to front. The nickname, "Shell proof Mack," was given because of his immunity from shell shock. After some time Mack was seriously wounded by schrapnel and forced o seek a dressing room by going "cross lots" to the rear, no communication trenches being handy. CHAPTER VIII Continued . Mack Loses Consciousness. I remember I had gone about 100 yards and was breaking all records for cross-country running when there was a blinding, stunning crash. For an instant I had a sinking sensation, without any pain, and then I didn't know any more. t,, This last one was a big piece of Baron Goto Installed as New Jap Foreign Minister Tokk), Tuesday, April i.

I never did wake after that whack until I was miles back of the Iine in a hospital Then the old nappcr didn't hurt much; but the shoulder was throbbing some and the hand was hurting worse than ever. iney operated on the head and put m a nice silver lid and that won't bother me any more, although, of course, it as the serious wound of the three. The shoulder got well after some weeks and the hand kept on bad for months. For thit matter, I have never had the use Qf that trigger nnger since. My second time Wounded and my fourth hit was with'a bullet, and it re minded me of the fellow who main tained so stoutly that a wound was like a hot needle. This took place one night while on a ration pa.-ty. About six of us were going back to bring up the grub. We had, loads, depend upon that. Tommy is made a pack horse whenever he goes to the rear. There is always something to go back. We each had buckets in one hand and a case of Mills bombs on the other shoulder. There was one incompetent clumsy beggar in the party who kept shifting his bucket and his case of bombs. Now, when a Very light goes up, the thing to do is to stand absolutely still until the light has died down. If you stand still Fritz doesn't see you. If you move, he fans you with a type writer and fills you full of bullets. We kept telling this chap to freeze when a light went up, but he kept taking occasion to. shift his load when a Very was floating overhead, and the rioche spotted us. Bored Through Thigh. The first burst of bullets drilled me clean through the thigh. It didn't hit the bone, and it did Teel exactly like a hot needle. I kept on walking for about three steps. Then I dropped the bucket and dragged a little. Then down went the Millses and I dragged some more. Then I went down my self. That cute little hole in the leg didn't pain me any to speak of, after the first "burn," and it only kept me in the hospital two weeks. The human body sure wjjl stand's lot of punishment at times. Of course where there are so many men being hit every day things happen that any- St. Joseph, Mo., and Hospital Ap prentice Carl O.

In cases of severe chest colds, bronchitis, tonsilitis or incipient pneumonia, first apply hot, wet tow els to open the pores. VapoRub Is then absorbed through and stimulates the skin, taking out that tightness and soreness in the chest. One rubbing with VapoRub usual ly relieves croup within 15 minutes and an application at bedtime pre vents a night attack. For head colds, hay fever, catarrh or asthmatic trou bles, VapoRub can either be applied up the nostrils or a little melted in a spoon and the vapors inhaled. The nroeressive druggists here are anxious that their customers should try this new treatment, and are, therefore, offering VapoRub on 30 days' trial. Avertisement I have a auecctiful treatment for Rupture with out retorting to a painful and uncertain inrgieal operation. I am the only reputable phyeielan who wiU . take uch rases upon a suarantea to lv aatiatactorr remit. I hava devoted more than 20 year to th exclusive treatment of Rupture, and MACK one would have said before the war couldn't haooen. We had in our batt a negro. Blacks were not common in the British army that is, outside of native units, l used to iosh the Tommies and fill them up with fairy tales about this and that; and I instructed them on that old tradition abou a negro's head beiner harder than a white man s. Only I stretched it and told them that a bullet would bounce off the black man's skull. Well, it happened that this coon got creased along the scalp two oV three times without getting hurt enough to send to the rear and the men got so they believed his napper would turn anything. After a while he got one straight through the top of the head. The bullet went in at the top of his foretfead and came out of the back. It must have pierced his brain, if he had any. And he lived. That is, he lived for three days, and I think if hadn't got spilled out of an ambu lance he would have pulled through to conVafescence. About Shell Shock. Another queer thing in the way of war hurts is shell-shock. Some men seem to be shell-proof like my self. I have seen a man lifted and thrown over into the next traverse and half his clothes taken off by a shell which must have burst right be side him; and there was nothing the matter with the' fellow. On the other hand some are so sensitive to the jar of shells that they get shell-shock if one bursts within 100 yards. i Shell-shock is, of cpurse merely a form of paralysis. In the early days of the war it used to be the custom to execute any man who deserted under fire, or, rather, .who showed cowardice and ran, disobeying orders. For that matter, it is the custom now, only they are more careful to prove the case, because it was, found that a good many men with slight shell shock and apparently all right, really had no control over themselves. Their legs would work all right, but the brain didn't and they were as apt to start running to the rear as anything else. They weren't cowards. It was simply that the telegraph system of the nerves had been shocked out of cornmission and they couldn't make theirfeet behave. ' Afttr all, when you figure it out, mere sounds are the smallest of war. I would rather be in jfhe frotft trench faking my:.rTaTf!e 'with the whiz -bang any,, time than 10 miles to the reatvrffiking roads or lugging ammo. The Percentage of chances of being hit is imall. If you are hit it is likely to be 1 cushy one that you can swing blighAr on. Or it may be a quick one thai'will snuff you out like a candle send you west without your lowing it. Either one is good. The itercentage of wounds that are painful .and crippling is very, very small. to take. It s a great life and you can weaken. (Continued Tomorrow.) LAY HELPLESS IN THE BED FOR 5LQNNTIIS Wasn't Able to Do Her Houses work for a Whole Year Tanlac Ends Troubles and . She Gains 10 Pounds. "I am now able to clean house and do all my work, but if it hadn't been for Tanlac I believe I would still be in bed," said Mrs. Jesse P. Donahey, who resides at 4208 South Sixteenth street, in a conversation with a Tan lac representative who, having heard of her case, called at her residence, recently, to ascertain the facts. "Two years ago," Mrs. Uonahey continued. "I beean suffering from what was called neuritis, which was described to me as being a diseased condition of the nerves. The pain was so bad iir my shoulders and neck, and m both elbows thatM was almost frantic at times. I would roll and toss all night, falling asleep towards day from exhaustion, and then get up feeling all ftired out I wasn't able to do any kind of work for a whole year and for five months lay flat on my back in bed, suffering Buch awful pain at times that I coud hardly en dure it Nothing I would eat agreed with me and I fell off from 150 pounds to 121'. Nothing seemed to reach my case and six weeks ago, just before I began taking Tanlac, I was in an awful fix. "My mother-in-law wrote me about a school teacher who had gotten complete relief from a spell of this same trouble, which she said was so bad in her legs and arms that she could neither walk nor move her arms. This recommendation was enough and I said right away, Tanlac for, me. My appetite soon became normal, the pains all disappeared and I commenced picking up in weight I have regained fully 10 pounds of my lost weight already and I am still taking Tanlac and improving right along. My nerves are stronger and more steady, I sleep splendidly at night and get up in the mornings feel ing fine. It is the most wonderful medicine I ever heard of and I will be glad to tell anyone personally just what it has done for me." There is not a single portion of the body that is not benefited by the helpful action of Tanlac, which be gins its work by stimulating the di gestive and assimilative organs, there by enriching the blood and invigorat ing the whole body. In other words, it relieves rheumatism and other constitutional troubles by removing the cause. Tanlac is a powerful re constructive tonic and contains cer tain ingredients which purify the blood and renovates the entire sys tem. Next, it enables the stomach to thoroughly digest its food, thereby permitting the assimilible products to be converted into blood, bone and muscle.
