new FRENCH CABINET NAMED
COALITION MINISTRY COMPOSED
OF OPPOSING FACTIONS.
Venerable Statesmen as Well as Lead
ers of Modern Element Selected
by Premier BRAND.

Paris, Nov. IA new French cab
met headed by Aristide BRAND as
premier and minister of foreign af-
fairs has just come into existence.
This is the first time in the history
of the French republic that there is
a coalition ministry of all the oppos-
ing parties and factions. 1t follows
closely on the recent innovation of
forming a British coalition cabinet of
Conservatives and Liberals.
The action taken in forming the
cabinet was the elimination of a
deep popular sentiment that the SUI
preme crisis of the war party division
should give way TO united action by
the parties, in common support of the
government. AS the result of the cab
met of Rene Viviani being represent
alive of only a few political groups,
the ministers presented their collec-
tive designations and President Pom
care Immediately charged Aristide
BRAND with the formation of a new
organization combining all elements.

Udine, Italy, Oct. 3O.-News of the
great Italian offensive all along the
Isonzo front is being brought down by
the wounded and the men of the con-
voys which are escorting Austrian
prisoners to the rear. In three days
over 5000 prisoners have passed
through Udine, which gives some idea
of the magnitude of the operations.
Ali the soldiers agree that the ar
tillery preparation preceding the Of
fensive, lasting three days, was appal-
ling.

wounded gunner, "how much worse
was it for those yonder, where shells
burst?"
Austrian Dead Fill Trenches.
After the artillery had ceased fir
ing, the Italians, according to the SOL
diers, permitted an interval to elapse,
sufficient for the Austrians to return
to their trenches. Then they re-oped-
ed fire with their artillery and later
charged, and when the infantry reach
ed the trenches they were literally
filled with the bodies of dead Aus

I'VE are now solidly in possession
of trenches and positions like Gina
Fredda, the hinge of the formidable
triangular defense of Tolmino, which
the enemy seemed determined to hold
at any cost" said an officer. I'm the
fierce struggle in the neighborhood
of Gorilla, where the Austrians had
concentrated large reinforcements,
the Austrians were finally repulsed.
AS they retreated the Austrians set
fire to a long tract OF country, making
a wall of fire to protect them from

London, Nov. AFTER an artillery

two days and which tore g gap in the
French trenches nearly a mile wide,
wave on wave of German gray-clad
infantry surged forward and only
came TO rest after the positions known
as La Courtine" were occupied.
AS the scream of shells and the
bursting of shrapnel reached it's high,
est pitch, the Germans drove against
the whole line. Heavily massed
forces rushed forward behind gas
clouds and thick pillows of smoke.
Attack on Smile Front.
The gains included Tahure hill, lost
to the French weeks ago. From this
position the French batteries menaced
the Challerange-Bazancourt railway,
the main supply line for all the Ger,
man troops in the scissors salient.
The Germans attacked on a five,mile
front, with strong achievements of
veterans from the Russian front fight
ing in the first line.
The Germans made four successive
assaults on the French defenses be-
fore the position was carried. Despite
minute artillery preparations and
heavily massed attacks, the Germans
were thrown back in each of these as
saults. According to Paris they suf-
fered heavy losses. French reports
detail the capture of $50 unwounded
prisoners. Berlin states that in the
capture of Tahure hill 1900 French
remained in German hands.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhoodis a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctiy an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. Of cours nearly every m
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received q shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerve and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, q most valuable tonic and
inyigorator of the female organism.
