LEAD WITH DESTROYERS. American Xavy Acquiring Great Numbers of latest Tyi>e. Washington, Oct. 3.?Such remarkable progress has been made in the quick building of the immense flotilla of American destroyers to cope with the submarine campaign, that the Xavy Department now is assured of much quicker delivery of the ships than was contemplated at the last estimate, which in itself was far ahead of the original time. Progress on the ships now building and arrangements for others to follow, it was said today at the Xavy Department, are such that the American navy will lead the world with its destroyers within eighteen months.

Many of them had not been expected until the winter of 1918. Approximately ten months has been saved. The full success of the project, however, depends on the extraordinary powers granted to the President in the bill now pending. The administration measure was altered in the House. The Senate committee restored the provisions naval officers consider vital to success and the navy hopes the bill will become a law in substantially its original form. It is now in conference. Its progress is'being watched anxiously as tentative contracts are subject to change if the bill is altered. All new destroyers are of a new design worked out by the Navy Denartmpnt and showing "radical changes from any of these craft now afloat. The great majority of them 'will be thirty-five knots, vessels of improved sea-keeping qualities, adding to their effectiveness as submarine hunters. The first of the new type has been tried out with results that amazes the officers who made the trial trip. The rate of warship production in the United States has been increased to such a point that greater amount of fighting tonnage is being produced in a given time than has ever been achieved before by any power. MAY BAR AMERICAN. fthju*l#?ston PaDer Cited to Show Why Mail Should Xot be Denied. m m Washington, Oct. 3.?John. P Grace, editor of the Charleston (S. C.) American, appeared before the Postoffice Department today to ;i answer charges of printing matter in violation of the Espionage Act. He was cited to show cause why his publication should not be denied ? second-class mail privileges. The decision was deferred. Grace's case was one of the many the Postoffice Department has been hearing since the Espionage Act was passed. A number of newspapers and magazines have been denied secondclass privileges and in some instances individual issues of the publications have been denied the privilege of the mails altogether. Innumberable complaints from throughtout the country that have reached the Postoffice Department charging publications with printing treasonable and seditious matter have led officials of the department to conclude that the public is the best censor. The public, officials said today, usually discovers and sends in to the department matter that might be f questioned even before the depart? ? ? ff /liertArorf if UiCUt S U\vu diau u.iow?v.io *v. Xot to Examine Entire Draft. Washington, Oct. 3.?The proposal to examine for military service all men registered for the army draft and not yet called, was killed for the present at least today, when the House and Senate conferees eliminated an .appropriation for the purpose from the war deficiency bill, the conference report on which was promptly accepted by the Senate. This plan was suggested by the provost marshal general's office in order that every registered man might know whether he was liable for service and if so the actual order of his liability. The War Department asked for expressions of opinions from the Governors of States andi only two signified disapproval. In passing the deficiency bill, the House and the Senate added an amendment limiting the men to be examined to the number soon to be needed. The conferees eliminated the whole provision.

BRITISH TAKE POSITIONS. i Haig Lays Stress oil Strategic Value of Ground Gained. London, Oct. 4.?Thousands of prisoners have been taken by the British in the drive against the Gerj mans which begun this morning east of Ypres in Flanders. All the objectivies of the British were won, including positions characterized by Field Marshal Haig's report from headquarters tonight as of "great importance." The British casualties today have been exceedingly light. Between the village of Broodseinde on the north and Xoordenhoek, more than a mile to the south, the British are holding the crest of- the ridge in I the face of heavy counter attacks. Minimizes British Gains. Berlin, Oct. 4.? (Via London.) ? The German version of the battle in Flanders as reported in the supplementary statement issued from German headquarters tonight, is as follows: "On the battlefield in Flanders the British during today's great attack penetrated only about one kilometer deep into our defensive zone, between Poelcapelle and Gheuvelt. Especially bitter fighting is still proceeding to the east of Zonnebeke and west of Becelaere." "On the other fronts," the communique adds, "there is nothing of importance." When you feel like doing a foolish thing, reflect that you have to live with your memory. NEW DISCOVERY HAS PLACED THE UNITED STATES AT THE LEAD Is Already Accomplishing Wonders. Greenwood Man Gains Sixteen Pounds and Overcomes Rheumatism and Stomach Trouble. R. B. HENRY The discovery of Vitona places America ahead of the world in another branch. In fact it is one of the first real medical discoveries that can be said to be typically American, and it is at a par with other great American inventions, such as the telegraph, telephone, areoplane and submarine. Richard B. Henry, a well known young farmer who lives on R. F. D. No. 3, Greenwood, says:' "I suffered with rheumatism ever since I was a child. I also had stomach trouble and indigestion so bad I had to be very careful about what I ate. I had severe pains in my stomach after eating and vomiting spells would set in. Gas would form on my stomach and give me misery. I had awful rheumatic pains in my joints and in my feet and ankles, and got so bad off I had to take to the bed and stay there for weeks. I lost strength and fell off until I only weighed 124 pounds. My heart would beat fast and sometimes I feared I had heart disease. I tried all kinds of medicines, but nothing seemed to help me. "Vitona got fight after my troubles and now I feel like a different man. { The rheumatic pains have disappearj ed. my heart is regular and the pains | in my stomach are a thing of the past. I have a good appetite and can I eat just anything 1 want without any bad after effects. 1 am not nervous like I was; I sleep sound and can do as much hard wark on the farm as anybody. I now weigh 140 pounds, which is a gain of sixteen pounds, and am full of vitality. I consider Vitona to be the greatest discovery of the age, and believe it will be of untold ' ' ' ?: u,,,,,?

When these organs shirk their duty ambition wanes. Vitona restores tone to the system and is dlicately adapted to all forms of stomach troubles, nervousness, indigestion, rheumatism, catarrh of the head and stomach. It revitalizes those who are weak and run-down. It is proving a blessing to hundreds of homes." Vitona is sold in Bamberg by .Mack's Drug Store; in Denmark by Peoples Pharmacy, and in Ehrhardt by J.
