U-BOATS ARE SWAMPED BY NEW TONNAGE Allies Avercoming "Subs" Says French Marine Minister Means Employed to Rid Seas of Men ace Have Given Decisive Results Paris, May 26.-As proof that the Allies are rapidly overcoming the sub marine menace Georges Leygues, the minister of marine, informed the army and navy war committees of the Senate yesterday that Great Brit tin and the United States alone had constructed in April 40,000 tons more shipping than was sunk by the enemy. The minister' declared also that means employed to rid the seas of submarines had given decisive results. The minister declared that coordi nation between the Allied nations had become so smooth during the last four months that the tonnage restored to tIh see evE ieded 500.000 tons weekly. Great Britain, he said, had repaired 5:8,000 tons in one week. As to the increasing destruction of submarines, which wax constant, said the minister, the figures for April were excellent, showing an ' crease over the preceding months, but were far surpassed by the results known to have been attained thus far ih. May. Jacques I)umesnil, under-secretary of aeronautics, announced that the program for the construction of naval machines prepared in 1917 had al ready been equalled in 1918. -W--S-S PERSHING TELLS 'OF RAIl) Twenty Americans Defeat Heavily Armed Hun Patrol Washington, May 26.-Gen. Per shing's communique for Sunday is sued tonight by the War Department tells how an American patrol of an officer and twenty men in the Lor raine sector last night drove back and inflicted losses upon an enemy patrol armed with light machine guns and assisted by machine gun fire from the enemy lines. The communique for Saturday, de layed in transmission, says: "Yesterday in Picardy our troops -xecutedi a successful silent raid and inflicted on the enemy a number of losses in killed and prisoners. There is nothing else of importance to re port." Following is today's statement: "In the course of patrol encounters iur troops drove back the enemy and nflicted a number of casualties. Last ight in Lorraine one or our patrols, 'onsisting of an officer and twenty men, gained contact with an enemy patrol of about equar stregth, which was suppiled with light machine guns Ind assisted by machine gun fire from its own lines. "In the fighting which ensued our patrol drove back the enemy, killing =everal of them." Gen. Pershing's daily communique hereafter will be issued for the press )f the United States exclusively at the War Department here. Copies for the papers of England, France and Italy will be given out at headquarters at the expeditionary forces, where it is understood it also will be available to A merican correspondents, but only for their information. Decision to have the communiques issued here is understood to have resulted from two considerations. The first was to prevent further conges tion of already overcrowded cable wires which would result from each American correspondent cabling the conmmunique separately, and the sec od was to make the communiques available in Washington for all news papers of the Uited States at th" saime time.

A FAMILY MEDICINE In Her Mother's Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Bkck Draught. Relief From Head ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc. Ringgold, (h.- Mrs. Cbas. Gaston, of this place, writes: "I am a user of Thedford'a Black-Draught; in fact, it was one of our family medicines. Also in my mother's home, when I was a child. When any of us child ren complkined of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty reg tilar until the liver acted well, and we would soon be up and around again. We would not he without it. for it certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. ,Just a dose of Black Draught when not so well saves a lot of days in bo,1." Thedford's Black-Draught has been In use for many years in the treat ment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it now enjoys is proof of its merit. If your liver is not doing its duty, you will suf:'-r from such disagree able symptoms as headache, bilious nces, constipation, indig-stion, etc., r nel unless something is done, serious I rouh'o may result. Thedford's Blark-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these f roubles. It is purely vegetable, and rcts in a prompt and natural way, regulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of irnpurities. Try it. Insist on Thed Lord's. the origina. and genuine. E '79 Taft would divulge the topic of con versation. "Mr. Taft heard I was here and im meii aely came to see me," said Col. Roosevelt. "We had a very enjoyable half hour's talk and I am very happy to see him again." Mr. Taft said: "I heard the colonel was here be fore I saw him. I missed the oppor tunity of seeing him at the time of the dinner to Marshal Joffre in New York. I was very glad to see him this time." -W-S--S TWO PRIVATES SENTENCED For Prolonged Absence From Camp Without Furloughs Spartanburg.

A TWICE T(,LD TALE One o f Interest to Our Readers Good news bears repeating, and when it is confirmed after a long lapse of time, even if we hesitated to believe it at first hearing, we feel so eure- in accepting its truth nowv. The following experience of a Manning womeon is confirmed after seven years. Mrs. Joe Wells, So. Boundary St., igave the following statement January 30, 1911: "1 have been greatly relieved and benefitted by Doan's Kidney Pills. I had kidney annoyance and I suffer ed also with dull backaches. I was al so bothered with headaches and dizzy spells. Dean's Kidney Pills, however, soon proved just what I needed for in a short time I was free from those troubles." OVER SEVEN YEARS LATER or 'a lebruary 15, 1918, Mrs. Wells saidl: "I can always say that Dean's Kidney Pills arc without a doubt the bes5t remedy on the market. Anything is good as Dean's Kidney Pills is worthy of high recoinmendlation." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get I0oan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Wells had.
