Germans Forced Back Seven Miles.

Germans Forced Back Seven Miles.
On the Battle Front, by Way of
Paris.-The western wing of the Ger
man line. has been thrust back about
seven miles during the last two days
as a sequel to continuous fighting day
and night
| Both armies, despite almost super
human fatigue, show the utmost deter
mlnatfon not to yield an inch of
ground without a terrible struggle.
but the fresher troops at the disposal
of the allied commanders have grad
ually forced the Germans to recede.
The Turcos are adding daily to
| their record of daring achievements.
Late Monday night in a costly bayonet
encounter they broke through the
German lines without firing more
than a few shots and recaptured and
brought back four field guns the
French troops had abandoned the pre-
vious day. They seemed to disdain
the murderous rifle and machine gun
fire poured into them, refusing to
listen to the officers who tried to keep
them under cover.
Colonel Steel again played a con.
siderable part in the battle of the
enormous hosts fighting along the
Aisne, the Disc and Wovre. The
most remarkable point about the en-
counters is that the troops scarcely
see each other before they actually
come hand to hand.
Recklessness displayed at the begin.
ming of hostilities with the resultant
carnage through the machine guns
has almost disappeared, and every
movement of the attacking and de.
Tending troops is carried out with the
utmost caution until the moment of
actual contact.
The Germans have suffered most in
these engagements, for the French
troops from Africa and the British in
fantry are adopts with the bayonet
and they wait in the trenches until
their adversaries are so close that
quick dash brings them together.
The country behind the French
army is being rapidly repopulated.

Germans Trying to Retake Rheims.

London.-The unparalleled struggle
on the River Aisne, which commenced
about a week ago Saturday, has de
veloped into siege operations. The
two armies, strongly entrenched, are
carrying on an artillery duel, while
the infantry make attacks and coun-
ter-attacks which are in the nature of
sorties from a besieged fortress.
Occasionally one or the other gains
a little ground, but it is so little that
the opposing forces remain in their
/ trenches or take up positions in new
entertainments Immediately behind
those from which they are driven.
1t is now becoming the conviction
OF military men that nothing but out
thanking movements can have any Sc
rious effect on either army The Ger
mans, according to their own official
report, have been strongly reinforced
both on their right, where General Won
Kluck is making such a stubborn
stand in almost impregnable positions
on the hills north of the Aisre, and in
the center, where the Germans are
making almost superhuman efforts to
recapture Rheims. 1t is probably the
desire to recapture this town at all
costs, because of its Importance as
the key to important communications
that will improve all their connec-
tons for attack or retreat, that has
led the Germans to~continue the bonn
bardment which has resulted in the
destruction of the famous cathedral.
This bombardment has been of the
most severe kind and is being directed
from Brimont, which the French re-
captured, but lost again, and from
other hills around the town, and is OF
deadly character. The French have
brought up additional heavy artillery
in an attempt to drive the Germans
out of these hills, for until this is
done the situation in the town must
be difficult.

WHAT NEURASTHENIAI IS

Neurasthenia is a condition of exhaus'
ton of the nervous system. The causes
are varied. Continuous work, mental OF
physical, withoutproper vacation periods,
without proper attention to diet and ex-
ercise, also worry over the struggle fol-
success, are the most common causes.
Excuses of almost any kind may pro-
duce it. Some diseases, like the grip,
will cause neurasthepia. So also will q
severe shock, intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are over-sensltiveness,
irritability, disposition to worry over
trihes, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one of nutrition of the
nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic
tonic. AS the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood the treatment must
be directed toward building up the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills act directly on
the blood and with proper regulation oil
the diet have proved of the greatest bene-
fit in many cases of neurasthenia. A
tendency to anamia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients, is
also corrected by these tonic pills. Your
own druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.
