CAVALRY COMES
INTO ITS
ONCE MORE DROUGHT ' INTO
PLAY 13Y OPEN WARFARE.
Splendid Sight as They Carne Charg-
ing, Across the 'Field as in
Days of Old.
Despite: the nuuiy efforts of army
officials of the Allied nations to have
cavalry regiments changed into light
and heavy artillery, because of their
incompetence an trench` warfare, the
recent successes of cavahy commands
attached to General Haig's army in
checking' the German offensive em-
phasizes the further need of the
mounted organizations in this and
fist:lye wars.
The cavalry had made history long
before all Europe had arrayed itself
to suppress the common foe of demo-
cracy. During the present German
offensive the cavalry got its long -de-
sired wish to distinguish and to prove
to the world once again that inounted
men still constitute a force' to be reck-
oned with and that the service is not
a useless adjunct of the army.
Valuable in Present Offensive.
These mounted organizations have
at no other time since the beginning
of the great conflict been able to play
such an important part in this war':
as they have during the great bat-
tles which have taken place on the
western front recently. They have
been stretched along the battle line,
filling hi gaps, strengthening the
line and -covering the retirement of
the infantry.During e
tefixstthe
flays of the Teuton drive the mounted
men accomplished valuable work,
)'rghting mostly on foot. Dismounted
cavalrymen held the 011ezy-Ham
line; where the fighting was terrific,
while the infantrymen withdrew. One
party of dragoons was cut off all
night, during which they were out in
the open battling for their lives. Fin -•I
ally, they cut their way through the
enemy's lines at Jussy by main force.
On the 23rd of March the cavalry.
came into its own, for the horses were
Brought forward and the troopers be-
gan a series of spectacular. feats..
When . Noyon was first threatened
'cavalry was sent to hold the line of
the Oise west of the town. The Brit-
ish infantry was forced to fall back
on the 2Gth, and the cavalry was pull-
ed back also with the intention of
occupying the ridge near the village
of Porquerticourt, in the vicinity of
Noyon.
Canadian Cavalry Assist.
The. Germans were also aiming to
get a foothold on this hill. A race
developed between the horsemen and
the enemy infantry across the rolling
ground. Both reached the forest at
about the same time, but the cavalry
lost no time and rushed through the
forest against the Germans. An in
tense battle at close quarters ensued
and the cavalry was doing great exe-
cution when the order came for them
to fall back in order to cover the re-
tirement of the infantry, which had
succumbed to pressure at other
points. The mounted men withdrew
from the wood and brought up the.
rear, pausing often to fight rearguard
actions with the bostiy pressing en-
emy.
When word -cane from the British
command that the wood northwest of.
Moreuil was filled with enemy in-
fantry, who had brought forward
great numbers of machine guns,
which were mounted in every avail-
able vantage point, even in trees, the
gallant horsemen were called upon
to clear the wood out. They respond-
ed and came pounding up to the wood
in a picturesque= manner. Here part
of them dismounted and went on foot,
but the Canadian horse tore on into
tbo forest and hurled themselves on
the enemy, The Germans slowly gave
way before the onslaught until the
western part of the wood had been
cleared. •
Like Knights of Old.
rf1e cavalry was, again called upon
on April 1 to attack the enemy. They
did and no more splendid sight has
been seen along the battle line than
when they came charging across the
el, a in clays of old and drove
i field s y
straight ig ht into the banks of machine
guns scattered among the trees. The
lk first charge gave the horsemen a foot-
hold in the wood. They reformed and
surgedforward, again. This time they
got to the centre of the forest. Once
more they drove their horses full
tilt against the German line. The lat-
ter held for a little and then sagged
and broke and the Bnitish stormed
their way clear through the wood to
the eastern side, the enemy- fleeing be-
fore then,. Behind than the ground.
was strewn with German dead and
wounded.'
The Germans immediately reorgan-
ized fora counter-attack and here
the horse gunners accomplished more
gallant work. As the enemy massed
in the open, the artillerymen 'poured
large quantities of shell into their
ranks, one battery alone tiring 2,000
rounds at the. target. For an hour
the German infantry marched ex-
posing themselves to the hail of
death. They kept coming• forward,
but only a few reached the wood and
the attack was smashed . by the
troopers.
DISCLOSURE' By HUN PAPER.
German Newspaper Reveals Vastness
Of Spying System.
The extraordinary number of G
man "agents" and spies who are st
working for the Fatherland in En
land, France, Spain, the Scandinavi
countries and A:nierica forms the su
of an illuminating. article in a r
cent issue of the Berlin Tageblatt.
Herr Theodor Wolff has apparently
no intention of` giving away any, 'in-
formation to the enemy in the matte
He is merely concerned' with the sca
dal of granting exemption from
new German taxation proposals
this army of "shirkers who, "under t
pretence of working for Germany, a
living a life of luxury abroad and es-
caping military service."
The Tageblatt's unconscious revela-
tions are as follows:
"The people who know what is go-
ing on are' amazed to learn how enor-
mous is the number of people who are
wonting in Germany's interest in for-
eign countries. It will be extraordin
arily interesting to hear solnethin
one day about their duties and thei,
achievements.
"When the war broke out we wer
told in Germany that 'we had not don
enough to make sure of 'the mor
conquest of the world, that our re
sources rtes irr'the matter of secreta Ont
g
were too small and our methods to
old fashioned. Instantly there arose
number of persons quick p, q rc to under
stand the magnitude of the opportun
ity that was presented, and all tries
offered` to help the Fatherland' in thi
dire necessity.
"Every ,one who pretended that h
had some relationship with foreigner
was sent away with plenty of money
Adventurous plans (of which noth-
ing more was ever heard) Were greed-
ily accepted, and we - threw ourselves
into a great propaganda work which
was `considered `intelligent' and 'mod-

``All this was supposed td win. over
the world and turn the hearts of for-
eign peoples towards us. In reality
it spoiled the little that remained to

"JOY -RIDING" IN A TANK.
Anything But a Pleasurable Experi-
ence, Says a Correspondent.
Joy -riding in a British tank means
hanging on for dear life in a deafen-
ing roar of machinery while the ma-
chine lumbers up and down grades,
alternately • tossing its passengers
first one way and then the other. ' A.
trial trip is thus described:
"We accepted with some trepida-
tion, an invitation to make a journey
in the, machine. About half a dozen
of us entered by the narrow door and`.
were cramped up on the little_ plat-
form which runs on each side of the
machinery. We held on like grim
death with our, hands. For a few mo-
ments everything went well. Then
there was an upward movement of
the forepart of the tank and 'ina trice
we found ourselves without a foot-
hold and were suspended by our
hands from the 'holdfasts.'
"The vessel jerked violently as she
started on her downward course. In
the twitkling, of an eye we were
thrown into the same position as be-
fore—only more so—with our leas
dangling and our hands gripped lir
the effort to hold on and prevent be-
ing thrown all of a heap. We event-
ually emerged liOne the worse for the
trip, but with a vivid impression of
what must be the life of the gallant
crews to whom our experience was a
trifle as compared with theirs in the
midst of shot and shell and with their
own guns blizing away,
"The roar of the machinery in the
confined space was terrific. , The man
with the strongest lungs, shouting in
the ear of a man of the acutest hear-
ing, could not make a syllable heard.".

very little cost from
any drug store. • Just
ask for freezone. Ap-
ply a drop or two ' di-
rectly upon a tender
corn or callus and in-
stantly the soreness
disappears. Shortly
you will find the corn
or callus so loose that
you can lift r t rt off, root
and all, with the fin-

Not a twinge of pain,
soreness or irritation;
not even the slightest
smarting, either when
applying freezone or
afterwards.
' This drug doesn't
eat up the corn or, cal-

It works like a charm. For a few
cents you can get :rid of every hard

little bottlefor you from his whole-

LEMONS WHITEN AND
BEAUTIFY THE SKIN
Make this beauty lotion cheaply for
your face, neck, arms and bands.
At the cost of a small jai of ordin-
ary cold cream one can prepare a full
quarter pint of the most wonderful
lemon skin sqftener and complexion
beautifier, by squeezing the juice of
two fresh lemons into a bottle con-
taining three ounces of orchard white.
Care should be taken to strain the
juice through a fine cloth so no lemon
pulp gets in, then this lotion will
keep fresh for months. Every Wo-
man knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra-
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. It is marvelous to smoothen
rough, red hands.
The Obvious Alternative.
A spoilt little boy of four years had
been a source of considerable annoy-
ance all through lunch.
At length one woman, an intimate
personal friend of his too indulgent
mother, turned to hereand said:
"I can't think how' you can let your
little boy be so greedy and unruly at
meal times. If he were mine,;I should
give him a
good spanking."

"Oh," said the mother; "you can't
spank the poor little chap on a full
stomach."
"No" said her friend, "but you can.
turn him over."

cases he succeeded in obtaining the
promises he wished, but at last he
met with a rebuff. It occurred when,
he knocked at a cottage door that was
opened to him by a sturdy son of the
soil.
"My man," said the magistrate in
his most persuasive tones, "are you
going to fight for your King and
country?"
"No, I beant, sir," was the prompt
reply. "And I be surprised at you
