Positive Relief
For Constipation

The progress of modern medical
science is, perhaps, no more force
fully evident than in the simplifying
of many of the old time remedies
Of past generations. For instance,
the harsh catharties and violent pur-.
gatives used by our forefathers to
relieve constipation are now known
to be notsonly Unnecessary but really
harmful. Constipation can be more
effectively relieved without the dis
comfort and pain these old-time
remedies occasion.

THREE TORPADO BOATS
SUNK IN NORTH SEA
One Britisher'T orpedoed, Two Ger.
mans Lost in Fight.

London, May 2.-The British admi.
rality announced tonight that two Ger
man torpedo boats had been sunk in
the North Sea. The British torpedo
boat destroyer Recruit also was sunk.
The text of the statement follows:
"a series of small affairs took place
in the nelghborhood of the Galloper
and North Hinder lightships Saturday.
During the afternoon H. M. de-
stroyer Recruit was sunk by subma-
rine, four officers and 81 men beirg
saved by the trawler Daisy.
"At p. m. the trawer Colombia was
attacked by two German torpedo boats,
who approached her from the westward
and commenced an action without hoist
ing their colors. The Colombia was
sunk by torpedo, only one deck hand
being saved by the other trawlers.
"A division of British destroyers,
composing the Laforey, Leonidas, Law
ford and Lark, chased the two German
vessels and after brief running fight
of about one hour sank them both.
GERMANS ARE RESCUED.
The British destroyers sustained no
casualties.
1.-TWO German officers and A men
were rescued from the sea and made
prisoners of war;"
The destroyer Recruit was on patrol
duty Saturday morning when the sub
marine Sunk her. According to details
received here, the Recruit when struck
signaled for assistance and her call was
answered by the trawler Daisy and 80
men out of her complement OF 65 we're
saved.
1t is stated that a torpedo was fired
at the Daisy, which was forced to leave
one of her rescue boats behind, and
that the submarine chased this boat and
fired her gun at it, wounding four men.
British torpedo boat destroyers, sight
ing in the distance two German torpedo
boats which had sunk the trawler Co.
lombia and apparently were supporting
submarine, engaged the Germans at
long range in the vicinity of the North
Hinder light. The Germans endeav-
ored to run away, but the British boats
pressed them hard and shortly after
ward sunk them. The British boats
rescued some of the crews of the Ger
mans and landed them to-dayd

FOurth Canadian DattallOn at one
moment wavered. Its most gallant
commanding officer, Lieut.. Col. Biz
light cane, coolly and cheerfully
rallied his men, and at the very mo-
ment when his example had infect
ed them, fell dead at the head of his
battalion.
with cry of anger they sprang
forward as if to avenge his death.
The astonishing attack which fol-
lowed pushed home in the face of di-
rect frontal fire and made in broad
daylight by battalions whose names
should live forever in the memories
of soldiers, was carried to the first
line of German trenches. After a
hand-to-hand struggle the last Ger
man who resisted was bayoneted.
This charge saved the Canadian
left. 1t also secured and maintained
during the most critical moment of
all the integrity of the allied line.
GAS DROVE THEM BACK.
cat 4 o'clock on the morning of
the 23d fresh emission of gas was
made. The Forty-eighth Highland
ers were dismayed and their trench
became intolerabl They retired,
then recovered themselves and reoc-
cupied the trench.
Several German divisions at
tempted to use their enormous nu-
merical superiority to sweep around
and overwhelm our left wing, and
then partially succeeded. German
troops swung past the unsupported
left and slipped in between the wood
and St. Julien.
''In the afternoon the Canadian
left was strengthened by British re-
endorsements amounting to seven
battalions. The Canadians also re-
ceived assistance on the left from a
series of French counter attacks
pushed in a northeasterly direction
from the canal bank.
1.-The fire of the German artillery
continually grew in intensity, and it
became evident the Canadian salient
could no longer be maintained
against the overwhelming superior
ity of numbers. Stubbornly and
contesting every yard, the defenders
fell back upon st. Julien.
Soon it became evident that
even st. Julien, exposed from right
and left, was no longer tenable. The
Third Brigade was therefore ordered
further south, selling every yard of
ground dearly. But it was found
impossible without hazarding far
larger forces to disentangle the de-
tachment of the Royal Highlanders
of Montreal, Thirteenth battalion,
and of the Royal Montreal Regi-
ment, Thirteenth battalion. The
brigade left these units with heavy
hearts.
1.-THE German line rolled over the
deserted village, but for several
hours after the sullen and persist
ent rifle fire which survived showed
that they were not yet master of the
Canadian rear guard. If they died
they died worthy of Canada"
