LONDON, April 20, British ml.‘url

ering a series of successful attacks
in the @Qivenchy-Festubert sector
which drove the Germans from some
of their advanced positions, the War
Office reported today
(Givenchy is Immeidately north of
l.a Bassee canal, two miles west of
the town of l.a Bassee. Festubert is
about a mile north hy west of Given
chy.)
The fighting spread southward to
the Rcarpe River zone, where the

Germans Taken Prisoners. |
The British lines in the (hVQMh,V—~
Festubert district have beem com
pletely restored, the Germans losimg
all the ground they had captured on
April 18. A few German prisoners
were captured south of the Scarpe.
‘“We carried out successful minor
operations south of the Scarpe River
yesterday, capturing a few prisoners,
nine machine guns and a trench mor
ar,” the official staterment said.
“Karly in the night the Germans
attempted a counter attack, but wnre<
repulsed. |
“The British first divigon made a
successful counter attack during the
night, ¢jecting the enemy from points
on our advanced defensive posilions
in the Givenchy-Festubert sector.
These had been gained by him on
April 18. The enemy's losses were
heavy. He lost all the objectives he
had gained and our positions have
been re-established. l
“Tocal attacks southeast of Robecqg
led to sharp fighting, which ended to
our advantage.'
Lull in Fighting.
A breathing space has settled down
m both the Flanders and Picardy bat
ties on the western front.
The only activity chronicied in u.(-]
night reports of the War Offices was
artillery fighting
- The German bombardment on the
Fanders front wag centered nerth of
Merville, near the tip of the Liys sali
ent, where the British positions were
beavily shelled.
The British artifery was aclive
t troops and transports moving
ind the German lines and severe
vl was inflicted.
On the Picardy front the German
guns bombarded heavily the French |
poritions around Castel and Grives- |
nes. |
(It was in the Castel sector that the
Prench made their big gains Tiurs
day, advancing to the edge of the vil.
loge. ) |
Attacks Not Resumed. |
The German War Office stated last
night that the situation was un
changed and that the French had not
remewed their infantry assaults ;
In the lull both sides have been
busy consolidating their positions, re
grouping their forces and mowing
their artildery to strategic positions
nearer the fromt.
Further indications have developed
that the Flanders battle will be ex
tenGed to the northern end of the
Belgian line.
German patrols have become active
in that district and the German War
Office claimed the capture of some
Belgian priseners in local operations.
Al accounts received from the front
today dwelt on the staggering losses
the Germang have suffered in the
fighting all alonz the line. At some
points the field was so full of corpses
the living men had difficuity in get
-ling over the dead. The artillery and
machine gun fire of the British has
proved the most effective of the war.
Good Target for British,
Invariably the German troops have
beer. sent forward in dense formation,
offerlng the best possible target to
the British gunners.
Throughout Friday the weather on
beoth the Plcardy and Flanders battle
flelds has heen very bad and nossibly
has had something to do with the
cessation of infantry fighting.
There was a thick fog which made
observation bad, but the guns were
kept going against registered targets

Council Committeeee Requests
Chief Beavers to Disregard ‘
Present Taxicab Ordinance.
Basing its action on a protest by
taxicab operators that the enforce
ment of the city's antl-parking ordi
nance would pat tax! men out of busi
ness, the ordinance committee or
Council Friday afternoon asked Chief
Beavers to suspend the enfrorcement
of the law., The committee recom
mended a new ordinance, permitting
legitimate taxicab operators to park
three cars in front of their places of
business and requiring all operators
to prove good character and take out
licenses.
Attorney James .. Key and A. l.
Belle Isle headed a delegation of tax
icab operators who appeared before
the committee. They contended that
the city ordinance which recently was
upheld by the Georgia Court of Ap
pecls would have the effect of closing
businesses representing an investment
of SIOO,OOO, because taxioab operators
can not give service unless they have
cars available. They alse contended
that the new law would diseriminate
against the general public in favor of
hotel guests by permitting hotels to
keep three taxicabs on the streets and
independent operators none at all.
Mr. Belle Isle asserted that regula
tion of “wildcat” taxi men is badly
needed, but he did not think legiti
mate operators should be made to
suffer, He paid his respects to tax)
men who transport whisky and ilm
moral women to Camp Gordon.
Alderman John 8. MceClelland will
draw the new ordinance suggested by
the committee after the members
heard the protests of the taxicab op
erators. One provision will require
operators to secure the approwval of
the chief of police before making ap
plication for a license. \
‘S Burglar’
As ‘Screen Burglar
%mck work by the police, aided by Mr.
and Mrs. J. U, Childress, No. 533 Law- |
ton street, resulted Friday evening in
the capture of a negro boy who gave
the name of Woody Higging and who
has been identifiea as the daylight
“screen burglar” who tried to cut
through the window of the Childress
home. He will face Recorder Johnson
Monday in Police Court.
~ Mrs. Childress saw the negro cutting
through g screened window in the rear
‘of her home and ecalled her husband, a
Peters street merchant. Mr, Childress
got into his automodile and took Pa
trolman Jack Malcolm to the scene.
The negro ran, but w\n caught sever
al blocks away and idemtified by Mrs.
Childress. He said he lived at No. 2656

Corporal John A. Nichols, United
States artillery, of the ariny recruit
ing station in Roanoke, is daily gath
ering recruits to the aid of General
Pershing, and is »ud in his praise of
the patriotic spirit of the young men
of this city, so many of whom have
volunteered their services wihout
waiting to be drafted.
Corporal Nichols is again in the
pink of condition, and hopes soon to
be sent oversea. He yesterday said:
“l am feeling fine again. I was suf
fering from general debility and was
badly run down. I had no appetite,
my blood was in poor condition. I
was as nervous as could be and could
not rest well at night. /
“Fortunately, a druggist friend of
mine recommended that I take A-I-
M, and consequently 1 am today as fit
as ever, and have the same old ‘pep’
to my step.
“I take pleasure in making this in
formation public for the ‘good of the
service'—in that it may be the means
of qualifying many young men who
are anxious to do their bit, but who
are at present unfit physically.

there is some radical and unexpecte¢
change, the administration will pre
sent no legislation to fix prices onl
raw Imaterials at this session. Thid
authoritative word, passed througi@
both houses today, set at rest curren
reports that sweeping price-fixinglk
bills soon would be presented by ad
ministration leaders.
While letting it be known that rawily
madterials, including cotton, for thd
itim(' being at least, were to have ndlif
prices fixed, administration men sai i
| there would be price-fixing legislati b,
| to cover finished products. The state §
ment of Chairman Lever, of th
| House agricultural committee, that “if*=
| the administration does not sponsor
| a bill to fix prices on farm machin«
ery he would,” was taken to mean
that farm machinery is ineluded in
the coming finished products’ price
[ fixing bill.
. How far the price-fixing bifl woul
]r:n was a closely guarded secret. T
was hinted, however, that while th
ladminisrm?ion would avoid fixin
| prices on raw cotton, it might at
| tempt to regulate prices of finishe:
!'--»v'_nn products.
' It was emphasized today that Rep
| resentative Emerson’s bill to fix t
| brice of raw cotton at 20 cents
ipmlml was introduced without con+
| sulting administration leaders in the
| House, and that it met with their dis<
‘ approval.

and strength almost immediately, and
it has put good color back into my

Corporai Nichols’ statement is sim-«
ilar to that of thousands of other peo

ing the past thirty years, have testi

1f you are run down, anaemic, worn
out, lack bodily vigor, sleep poorly,
have no appetite or lack weight—go
to your regular druggist and get a
bottle of Acid Iron Mineral. Try it a
week or two. Then, if it hasn’t made
a new man of you return the bottle
and your money will be promptly re
funded.
Or, better yet. ask the advice of
vour family physician. See what he
has to say of A-I-M, and be guided
by his judgment.
