Pickle, of Rising Pawn, Da., writes: "We have used Thed ford's Black-Draught as a family medicine. My mother-in-law could not take calomel as it seemed too strong for her, so she used Black-Draft ht as a mild laxative and liver regulator ... We use It in the family and believe it is the best medicine for the liver made." Try it. Insiton h nie Thedfrd's. a pack age. E-75 . LETTER BY MAJOR R. DENIG His Battalion Took Part in Great Al lied Counter-Attack on Marne Washington, Oct. 27.-To advance seven miles against a hurricane of German fire, machine gun bullets and big shells is not all glory and exhila ration even for a United States ma rine. This is disclosed in a series of vivid pen pictures of the tremendous fighting in which those American boys participated in on the Marne salie:.t, written by Major Robert L. Denig, of the marines, to his wife in Philadelphia. Major Denig and his battalion took part in the great Allied counter attack on the Marne salient, July 18, that started the Hun backward toward Germany and began the disintegration of the German western front. In4jat fight the marines covered themselves with glory, but at a terrific cost in killed and wounded.

To Picture a Fight 'To picture a fight," he writes, "mix a'lot of hunkry, dirty, tired and bloody men with dust, noise and smoke. - Forget the clean swords, prancing horses and flapping flags. At night, a gas-filled woods, falling trees. and bright, blinding flashds you can't see yout' neighbor-that is war. In the rear it is all confusion. The general told me, 'Hurry to such a place, all goes well, we are advanc ing!" His staff miles away, all clean -one was shaving, another eating hot cakes-we had not had a hot bite for two days. As I reached my jumping off place wounded men, killed men, horses blown to bits-the contrast." After describing the beginning of the advance of the marines to the fighting I ne, Major Derig continues: "We were finally, after twelve hours' ride dumped in a Big field and after a few hours rest, started our march. It was hot as hades and we had had nothing to eat since the day before. We at last entered a forest; troops seemed to converge on it from all points. Wie marched some six miles in the forest, a finer one I have never seen. Deer would scamper We could have eaten one raw. At 10 that night, without food, we lay down in a pouring rain to sleep. Troops of all kinds passed us in the night-a shadowy stream, over a half million men. Some French officers told us that they had never seen such concen tration since Verdun, if then. The "Eats" at Last "The next day, the 18th of July, we marched ahead through a jam of troops, trucks, etc., and came at last to a ration dump, where we fell to and ate our heads off for the first time in nearly two days. When we left there the men had bread stuck ?n their bayonets. I lugged a ham. All were loaded down. "Here I passed one of Wass' lieu tenants with his hand wounded. He was pleased as punch and told us the drive was on, the first we knew of it. I then passed a few men of Hunt's company, bringing prisoners to the rear. They had a colonel and his staff. They were well dressed, clean and polished, but mighty glum looking. 'We finally stopped at the far end of the forest, near a dressing station where Holcomb (Lieut. Col. Thomas Holcomb, of Washington,) again took command. This station had been a big fine stone farm, but was now a complete ruin-wounded and dead lay all about. The lines had gone on ahead. Had a fine aero battle right over us. Late in the afternoon we ad vanced again. Our route lay over an open field covered with dead. "We lay down on a hill side for the night, near some captured German guns, and until dark I watched the cavlary-some 4,000 come up and take positions. 'At 3:30 the next morning Sitz (Capt. Walter H.
