TWO
Battle Becomes
Giant ‘Sniping’
London, 10:30 a. m—W’lth ths ex
ception of tha left wing of the allied
army where there Is reason to believe
lively notions are being fought, the
great battle front In the western arena
of war may today be deaerlbed as a
gigantic "sniping" engagement m
which riflemen have been replaced by
heavy artillery masked along the
heights of the Aiane and the Meuse.
These desultory artillery duels seem
to have aucceeded the desperate In
fantry charges during the early stago
of the battle.
Casualties Leas.
One result of the present stage of
operations has been a very apprecia
ble diminution In the casunltleN. Ob
servers recently at the front declare
the allies are well content to play this
waiting game; they now outnumber
the Hermans and for that reason can
give their troops rest while the Invad
ers must keep their men constantly
In the trenches.

of the Herman right for the past three
weeks. The latest official Paris com
munication Ignores this movement.
Remains the Same.
It declares that the situation tn this
locality remains the same but admits
that the fighting along the left wing
north of the Oise ,s becoming more
and more violent. Calm prevails In
the center with the allies gaining a
little ground ti> the northern part of
the heights of the Meuse.
Following England's lead In the
North Sea, where she felt, compelled
to Imitate the Herman procedure of
mine-laying, France has announced a
similar course In the Adriatic, where
several trading ships have been blown

that the Germans have had excellent
practical Instructions and that from

Know How to Wait.
The Hermans know, he says, how to
lie patient and to wait. They realize
the ground with real art. There they
make themselves Invisible and have
many n gruesome surprise to the Im

RED CROSS NURSES
What the Women are Doing.
The women of the Red Cross are
nursing, cheering and comforting the
•wounded or dying. The women of
Europe not only wrap bandages and
scrape lint, but they tend the farms,
dig coal, carry burdens and do the
work of the men now under arms.
Every male fighter, however brawny
and heroic, was born of woman; the
high courage and hardihood that are
a nation s strength are inherited from
the mother.
' oung mothers who preserve the
charms of face and figure in spite of
an Increasing family and the care
of growing children are always go
be envied. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scriptio 11 gives the strength and
health upon which happy motherhood
depends It practically does away
with the pains of maternity. It en
ables tho mother to nourish the infant
ife depending on her, and enjoy
the hourly happiness of watching the
development of a perfectly healthy
cnila.
Thousands of women who are now
blessed with robust health cannot un
derstand why thousands of other wo
'U-en continue to worry and suffer
from aUments peculiar to women
when they can obtain for a trifling
suim Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion, which will surely and quickly
banish all pain, distress and misery
and restore the Womanly functions
to perfect health.
