American Miners Hendy to Work Wlicn Germans Driven Out. Washington, Oct. 3.-The Gorman retreat from the Hindenburg lino was In full swing to-day/ menaced by the French. Belgian and British thrusts at vital points. While official reports told only of the evacuation of Ar meiitieres and Lens, officers here con fidently expected that this phase of the withdrawal must be extended to the south at once under the threat of the British push northeast from their lines between the Scarpe and Cam brai, i With the evacuation of Lens, the enemy's hold on the great coal re gion of Northern France is loosened. Nothing has been received as yet to' show wehther the miues have been fired; but it is regarded as certain that during the years of German oc cupation the great fuel store-house below the surface baa been worked to the limit. As evidence of the complete con fidence with which the allied leaders have viewed the future ever since lt became certain that the United States would succeed in getting a great army to France for the fighting this year, it is now known that reoccupa tion of the Lens fields has been defi nitely figured on for some months in computing fuel needs and supplies. Coal Mining Unites Heady. There are also indications that American coal mining units, equip ped with the most up-to-date machin ery, oven with the means of fighting posisble fires in the workings, will be ready to enter the mines as rap idly as the armies force the enemy ? behind them. (Jen Pershing's forces no doubt will get some part of their coal this winter from this source, re lieving the shipping situation to that extent. The force which compelled the Ger man leaders to order the evacuation of the Lens-Armentleres front un doubtedly, In military opinion here, was the wholly unexpected rush in Belgium in which the Belgian army itself, under command of its soldier king, formed the spearhead that broke the way for swift expansion of the victory by French and British forces. There appears to be little doubt now that King Albert will be able to re-establish his capital on Belgian soil this winter, although much depends on the weather. Buy a Liberty Bond to-day!

Five soldiers from Camp Cordon were yesterday incarcerated in the i Atlanta Federal penitentiary for a 1 period of 10 years, immediately fol ! lowing the approval of their convic ! tlon by military court martial at the j camp upon charges of mutiny against ; the authority of officials of the i United States army and the wilful de ? structlon of government property, it j was announced at camp headquar I ters. The Ave convicted soldiers are ! Martin O'Donnell, Thos. J. Hayes, j John E. Fitzpatrick, Leo B. Ward I and Tony Serpico, all of whom have i been held as military prisoners at Camp Gordon for some time past. Defied Oillocr In Charge. The military drama, on which the j Official curtain was rung down Thurs day when the doors of the Federal I penitentiary closed for the last time ' in ten years upon these five, began I several months ago at the cami), the ? the first acts remaining unpublished i lu compliance with regulations gov ! orning the publication of military j news. ( , The five were prisoners In the base j hospital guardhouse early in May, at j which time they formed a conspiracy to override the authority of the offi ! cer in charge of the prison, j In pursuance of their plans they defied a first lieutenant in charge of i them, attempted to disarm a guard j of the base hospital prison, wrecked i a guard station and committed other flagrant misdeeds, evidently in the hope of escaping, according to the statement of those acquainted with the case. Later they refused to work at the command of the officer in charge of the prison and used lan guage to this ofllcer which was In vio lation of army rules. Dishonorably Discharged;. Tried by military court martial at Camp Gordon and convicted of all charges against them, tho only lack ing element was tho official approval of tho court martial sentence by Washington, and this came Thurs day. Washington officials approved the action of the Gordon court mar tial and recommended that the sol dier be imprisoned for 10 years at hard labor in the Atlanta peniten tiary after being dishonorably dis charged from the army. Another sentence that was ap proved Thursday was that of ten years at hard labor in Fort Leaven worth, Kansas, and dishonorable dis ; charge of Jacob Patt ncr, a pro-Gor man who was convicted of refusal to ' go overseas and flf: lit when question ed by nordon ofllcers.

There used to he a boy next door, Whom often 1 have longed to throt tle; I've wished a thousand times ?md more That he had died willie "on the bottle." Oft in tlie past it luis been hard F?r mo to check my inclination When ho had cluttered up our yard, To hand him heavy castigation. W'th freckles on his tilted nose, j And ears that far in space protrud ed, He was not one, as heaven knows,' I To whom J in my prayers alluded, j Derisively he showed his tongue And scorned the warnings which 1 gave him, Hut now 1 list myself among The ones who pray the Lord to save him. How vividly 1 can recall Him at tlie window, making faces'; 1 used to think that in him all The impish traits had lurking places. He stole the green fruit from my trees, Not caring how lt might affect him; To-day's ho's fighting overseas, And may the Cod of Hosts protect him! From childhood into youth ho passed, And then my little garden flourish ed; Hut still his friendship was not classed Among thc treasures which I nourished. He tortured first a slide trombone. And next ho tried a squeaky fiddle; Ills voice took on a raucose tone That used to rasp me down the middle. How soldierly our lad appeared When with II?B comrades he de parted!

If I had damned him heretofore I now retract each foul aspersion ; Cod bless the boy who lived next door, And used to be my pet aversion. -S. E. Elser. EVER SA Ll VATED RY CALOMEL? HORHIHLK ! Calomel is Quicksilver o nd Acts Like Dynamite on Your Liver, Calomel loses you a day! Yon know what calomel is. It's mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dyna mite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous I calomel just remember that your druggist sells for a. few cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and ia a perfect substitute for calomel. It ls guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and cannot salivate. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day's work.

Helps Sick Women Cardui, the woman's tonic, helped Mrs. Wil liam Eversole, of Hazel Patch, Ky. Read what she writes: "I had a general breaking-down of my health. I was in bed for weeks, unable to get up. 1 had such a weakness and dizziness, .. . and the pains were very severe. A friend told me I had tried every thing else, why not Cardui?... 1 did, and soon saw it was helping me ... After 12 bottles, I am strong and well."

She will tell you how it helped her. Try Cardui. All Druggists J. ?7 Drag ^ i into Consumption spray?, inhalers, atomizers, jellies and other local applications. S. S.
