ALLIES FIRMLY BOLDING 01 IN FURIOUS FIGOTS Germans Evidently Adopting Napoleon’s Maxim: “Do Not Attack in Front Positions That Can Be Obtained By Turning.’’ Paris, 6:55 a, m. —Latest dispatches from the battle front in France and Belgium told Just enough to make the public eager for more. The allies positions having been everywhere maintained against the onslaughts of the enemy, today’s official statement of the war office was the object of hope on the part of the French. Mean while the fighting forces, before re suming the contest, sought again to describe the weak spot in the oppos ing lines. The maxim of Napoleon's memorial "do not attack in the front the positions you can obtain by turn ing" is apparently the rule to which the Germans are adhering In what appears to be a supreme effort. In this battle of the north the allied armies, supported by an English squadron, have thus far successfully wdlhstood repeated and fierce attacks of the enemy. Have Made Gains. The fields of battle in Belgium, Flanders, ricardy, Champagne, Ar gonne, Lorraine, Vosges and as far as Alsace, continue to he the scenes of combats, where the allies have made gains, but a real decisive result Is yet awaited. Further news from Lille, toward which the French and English have been advancing slowly, was expected during the day. The sudden resump tion of activity by the Germans at points where they were not expected has caused a discussion of the object of these efforts Sudden Rush. For Instance, east of the Argnnne. where the enemy has been silent, a sufficiently long time, a sudden rush was made on Vauqols. which Is perch ed on a mountain peak. Also ques tioned. Is the purpose of the new at tempt In the Woevre near Champlln, where they have been unable to dis lodge the French from the heights of the Meuse nnd equally unsuccessful In driving the latter from the buckle formed by the River South of St. Mi ll lei. Another Purpose. In these somewhat desultory move ments, Lleut.-Col. Rousset. the French military critic, says he had supposed the Germans were seeking once more to Intimidate the French as the ope rations referred to were without con nection or military relation. The of ficial communications, however, he adds, reveal another purpose. This was to detract the attention of the allies from the battlefield which Is In the north. The furious resumption of the offensive against the line from Nleuport to Dtxmude nnd Lnbasse ran leave no doubt of the German plan, Rousset declared. ENGLISH WORSHIPS DODGE GERMAN SUBMARINES (Continued from Preceding Page). another dispatch said the guns of the war vessels had destroyed the village of Slype on th« canal between Ostend and Bruges, where, tt Is said, the Ger mans have their headquarters. South of Ostend. At Sluis, only a few miles north east of Slype, tn 1840 a British fleet achieved a victory over the French. It Is clear now that ships have been playing an important part In the war fare along the coast. The admiralty officially announced that the monitors Severn. Humber and Mersey not only bombarded the German position south of Ostend. but landed detachments of marines with machine guns. Submarine Attacks. It Is reported from other sources that eleven war vessels in all are taking pnrt in the operations, but they are not named. Curiously enough, the monitors re tain that title from "Lincoln's Cheese box” of civil war fame, and so far ap parently they have been able to dodge submarine attacks, though as report ed on Tuesday at least twelve torpe does were discharged at them without one finding Its mark. How the German submarines got to Ostend Is unknown. 70 Miles to Dover. With the fighting along the Belgian coast hardly more than seventy miles from Dover, that area of hostilities necessarily holds chief Interest with the British public, though, according to last night's Psrls official commu nication there were violent actions -here and there along more than a 70- mlle front, extending almost due north and south from Nleuport to Labasse. Everywhere the allies claimed to be holding their positions. Kaiser’s Illness Rumored. Reinforcements for the German right have been spoken of dally since Ostend was taken and today comes a report that Austrian foreee were be ing transferred from the Italian fron tier for this purpose. Rumors that Fmperor William Is se riously 111 are filtering In via Paris and this, with a report that a German fleet Is off Palsterbo.

Pinkham’s Vegeta- ! ble Compound and in a short time was cured and have been in excellent health since. I always praise the Compound whenever I have an opportunity as I know it helped me and will help othera. Lately I have given the Compound to my daughter and I wish all suffering women would take it and be convinced of its worth.”—Mrs. James A. Beidel, 113 N. Penn Street, Shippensburg, Pa. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound, made from native roots and herbs, contains no narcotic or harmful drugs, and to-day holds the record of being the most successful remedy for female ills we know of, and thousands of voluntary testimonials on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass., seem to prove this fact If you have the slightest doubt that Lydia K.

READS PREST’S LETTER URGING I IN COTTON Henry, of Texas, and Hoke Smith, of Georgia, Fighting For Help Before Adjournment of Congress. Washington. President Wilson's letter relative to the cotton ware house bill, read to the house by Rep resentative Henry, was as follows: “The passage of the cotton ware house bill seems to me an essential measure for the relief, or the partial relief of the south. It is one of the concrete things that we can do and should do. May I not urge that you use every endeavor to promote Its passage ?” When the house procured a quorum an effort was made for agreement whereby the adjournment resolutions could be passed, a vote taken on the currency amendments and the ware house bill. Representative Glass de clared that the secretary of the treas ury from a sick bed, had urged that the currency amendments which would add 1500,000,000 to the credit available In the south, should be pass ed. Representative Henry read the president’s letter urging the passage of the warehouse MU. No Agreement. No agreement was reached, how ever, and Representative Underwood pressed the resolution authorizing the appointment of a committee to inform the president that congress was ready to adjourn. Another point of no quorum by Representative Henry forced a roll call on this resolution, and the democratic leaders decided to force through the adjournment pro gram while a quorum was available, and then allow the consideration of the currency and warehouse bills to continue until 6 o’clock, the hour set for adjournment. With Hoke Smith. While senators were discussing the conference report, Majority Leader Kern conferred with Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, with regard to ad- Jqurnment. The Georgia senator de clared It his purpose to make another effort to procure legislation to reliete the cotton states before consenting to adjournment. Many other democratic „j senators expressed the belief that the session would end some time tonight. No Quorum. , Senator Smith made a point of no quorum, which was procured without difficulty, whereupon he proceeded to plead for cotton legislation. The only hope hs could see, he said, was for the house to pass the pending bill to Increase the limit to one hundred per cent of unimpaired capital and surplus upon which banks of national currency associations might Issue circulating notes based on commercial paper. He urged, however, that the measure should be sent to conference so thr.t there could be restored the senato amendment stricken out by the house committee which would admit state banks to national currency associa tion. The resolution authorizing a com mittee to nltlfy the president that congress was ready to adjourn was forced through the house by a vote of 141 to 85 and the resolution author izing adjournment at 8 o’clock was Immediately presented. Representa tive Henry forced a roll call on thrjfc resolution also, after It had be-*f\ adopted on a rising vote of 121 to 31. I?. By Hoke Smith.
