ALLIED LINES RESIST
ATTACKS BY GERMANS
News of Saturday says the British,
French and Italian lines are still hold
?ng firmly against onslaughts of the
Teutonic allies, delivered with heavy
reinforcements that have been drawn
from the Russian front since the cessation
of hostilities there under tin
'armistice.
The latest attack of the Germans
made in the Cambrai region between
Iiul'ecourt ami Queant, was a complete
failure when the Teuton loss?*
in men killed and made prisoner ar^
put in the balance with their small
pain of ground against the British;
another attack by the German crown
prince in the Caurieres wood on the
Verdun sector, which was delivered
with large effectives has met with
^the customary repulse, while in the
lands of the Northern front the
eiK-my armies are still being held In
check by the Italians.
A most expensive operation wa>.
the German attack Wednesday between
Bullecourt and Queant. The
B?rlin war office admits that only a
few British shelters and 90 prisoners
wore taken, while Field Marshal Haig
reports that heavy casualties were in
flicted on the enemy all along the I
front of the offensive, numerous of
his dead being left before the en- J

binding that the efforts of the
Anstrians to break through the Italian
front and debouch upon the plain
of Vcnetia, were futile, the German
troops under General von Buelow
have reinforced their allies and with
I hem have delivered another power
ful assault between the Brenta an .
Piave Rivers. At only one point, ho,*
ever, were the combined Teutonic
forces able to dent the line of the defenders
on Monte Sp'noneia, where
they secured a temporary foothold.
Mere the Italians are striving valiantly
to retake the positions.
Reports as to the progress of the
operations between the Bolshevikt
and Kaledines forces in Russia are |
beclouded by variant statements. Both
sides are credited with victories h*
different unofficial versions of the
opeartions. One report says Kaledines
is besieging Itestov-on-Don and
that fighting is in progress in the v;
cinity of that city. Another dispacth
asserts that General Korniloff had
routed the Bolsheviki near Bielgoroi!
while still another says that Korniloif
has been wounded and is in danger v>f
capture.
Not Vet Mastered.
The German submarine menace is
being behl, but has rot yet been mas*
U rod, according to the first lord of
the British admiralty. In a statert
cut the first lord says the downward
treild (T mercantile marine loss*
i : . the construction of merchant ship*
and the numbei of enemy submarinethat
arc being destroyed all are sat*
i. fa.'toj-y. Another high naval a
thority says the Germans have boo
attempting a submarine offensive h
the greatest possible magnitude bit
that they have signally failed ar.
have had to pay a heavy price in ve
sols lost at the hands of the Americ: n
and entente naval forces.
Aerial bombs dropped by the G.n
mans on a town behind the British,
front have resulted in the death of a
umber of American railway cngt
rn.'ers. In another town German aviators
attempted to bomb a marching
American column but all the men
escaped unscratched although the
ivissle exploded dangerously near
them.

Mr. Bonar Law. in reply said that
the Brtiish movements in Mesopotamio
and Palestine were by no
means movements of conquest. The
British had to defend the position in
Egypt and often the boat defense was !

for the British forces at Saloniki tlv-1
Germans woold havve been in posses- i
f ion of (irecce and the whole Balkan
Peninsula, and Germany would have
regarded that as one of the great successes
of the war.
Regarding the Cambrai operations,
Mr. Bonar Law said that according tc
all information available to the government,
the rumors were greatly exaggerated
and in his opinion part * f
that exaggeration arose from exag
ge rated hopes from the British initial
success there.
Mr. Bonar Law said he would give
1 the House nearly all the information
concerning the Cambrai operations ?n

"Sleeping1 in a chair night after
night is no easy job," said Mr. J. J.
Urock, 77 Stonewall Street, Atlanta,
Georgia, "and I want to say right
here that if I hadn't gotten hold o
Vitona, I believe by this time I would
have been taking my last sleep. My
trouble started with catarrh in the
head. Nothing I took or used for it
did me any good. The continual drain
age l'rom my head would go into my
stomach until it caused a very serious
stomach trouble to develop. I lo.-'
about all my flesh and grew wcakenil
the time. The rheumatism started
in. This, added to my already rundown
diseased body, just about piu
the finishing touches on me.
"wnen you came here that last day, j
Mr. Henry, I was all out of humor ana
patience, and was in no frame oT
mind to talk with anybody. I bough*
that bottle of Vitoiia simply to kcre*>
from having* a long convevsatior
about it. 1 didn't believe it would do
me any good.
"Gee! but I'm glad 1 bought it.
"Why, sir, in two or three days
after I began taking it I commenced
to improve. My head was almost immediately
relieved of that catarrh?
And of course, that gave Vitona ;;
chance to , do its work well. You
know I was simply a nervous wreck
Why I was so nervous I couldn't us<
my knife and fork. I never though*,
of going away fro/vi home to eat on
that account. With all those rheumatic
pains, catarrh of th*? head and
stomach, and being a nervous wreck.
I just had to spend my whole time
day and night, sitting in a big chai?
with pillows and cushions packed
around me?Not one moments ease.
"Well, one day, Mr. Nolrfnd, a
friend of mine, told me about Vitona.
I guess he must have told you to come |
here and see me, for you was on theI
job the next morning, and kept aoin"
ing until you got me started on Yitona.
"How much benefit have I derived ?
Well, just look at me now. 1 am s j

had the headache all the time. I just
was unable to do a thing. My life
was a misery, my stomach got In an
awful condition, caused from taking
so much medicine. I suffered so much
