Mrs. ANA BECKER, Collinsville, Ill.
There are hundreds of nervous, run

who are hardly able to drag around and
who we are sure would be wonderfully
benefited by Vinol as Mrs. Becker was.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
building up health and strength in such
cases is because it combines the medici-
nal tissue building and curative elements
of Gods livers together with the blood

BAN on ALL FOOD
Great Britain Launches Starvation
War Against Foes.

Great Britain Launches Starvation
War Against Foes.
Great Britain notified the United
States, although not in official form
that foodstuffs Of any kind destined
for Germany, Austria and Turkey
would be regarded as contraband OF
war.
This action is the result of the re.
cent German order, whereby that gov.
ernment will take over all grain in
Germany for common use.
Because the steamer Wilhelmina
sailed from New York for Bremen be-
fore the issuance of the decree, it is
understood that her cargo of food for
German civilians will be paid for and
appropriated by the British govern.
ment and the ship permitted to go
free.
Hereafter, food-laden ships sailing
from the United Staes directly for
German ports OF for neutral ports in
Europe, where it appears the cargo
ultimately may reach Germany, will
be subject, under Great Britain's con.
tention, to seizure outright, ship and
cargo, without compensation.
The state department is consider
ing this latest announcement of the
British government, but thus far has
not committed itself upon it.

Ms. Cora Daniels, of Milford, and
daughter, Mrs. Lester Hopkins, of Will
mington, visited w. I. Postles and fam
lily last Sunday.
Mrs. S. C. Cubbage was called to the
I bedside of her brother, who is quite ill
at Rigley, Md.
On Thursday morning about half-past
eight smoke was seen issuing from the
roof of VIM. Burris house. Upon IN
vestigation fire was discovered among
some shingles and clothing stored IN the
attic. The alarm of fire was given, to
which neighbors and friends quickly re-
spOnded. The fire was soon subdued,
saving not only this property but PROB
ably several others. as that part OF the
town is quite thickly settled. The less
was not great. Matches in the pockets
of the clothing, knawed by mice, are
supposed to have caused the hire.
VIM. Burris and wife, also Edward Bur
ris ard fami y wish to extend their many
thanks and ppreciation to all those who
responded so quickly and who worked so
faithfully in order to eXtinguish the fire
on last Thu sday, thus saving their prop
critics from total destruction.

nation in regards to the subject dis
cussed. The judges were George b.
Hynson of Milford, Edwin Clendaniel of
Glendale, and Roland Peet of Lincoln.
Decision was rendered in favor of Prof.
John West, principal of the Lincoln

of the question. The proceeds amounted
to S11. so, which was donated toward the |

GERMANS CAIN
NEAR WARSAW
5000 Men Killed in Assault
on Cars Trenches.
NEW INVASION OF SERBIA
Archduke Eugene to Command Aus
tro.cerman Force to March on Bel
grade.

The Germans have begun assaults
characterized in the Russian Official
statement as "ferocious and distin-
guished by great tenacity," upon the
| entire Russian front, in a new drive
toward Warsaw.
Tie fighting reached its worst last
Saturday and now continues in the
same pitch. The Russians admit that
part OF the assault in the Russian line,
particularly the highly important ter
ritory of Borjimow, on the road to
warsaw, has been successful, and that
the Germans drove them back to the
second line of trenches, but the Rus
SLAMS deprecate the value of any OF
the gains made by their enemy.
On the other hand, the Russians
claim gains on the lower Vistula, and
they say they were able to repulse at
tacks of the fercest nature at other
points.
Military readers of the communica-
tion of the war office say that they be-
lieve that the Germans feel that they
have marked time long enough and
that if Warsaw is to be won they
must drive on with all their power,
regardless OF the cost.
The fighting was so intense that at
one point in the trench line near Bor-
jimow 5000 Germans were killed in
one mile, the official statement inti-
mates that fighting was almost as Sc
we're in many points along the coast
line.
The fighting in the Carpathians
continues, and during the past week,
on the front between Nijnia POlanka
and Loudoviski, the Russians captur-
ed seventy-eight officers, 4O65 soldiers,
four pieces of artillery and ten ma
chine guns.
The fighting in the Carpathians is
expected to decide for the period of
the war the mastery of the three most !
important passes through the noun.
tains-Uzsok, Dukla and Wyszkow
The strategic value of these passes is
indicated by the fact that Wyszkow
is almost due south of Lemberg, while
Uzsok is in the same relative position
from Przemysl and Dukla is situated
with regard to Cracow.
The Russians have been successful
in repelilng every endeavor of the
Germans to assume the offensive in
the vicinity of Mount Beskid and
Mount Wyszkow and continues to ad-
vance along the front from Niinia
Polianka to Loudoviski.
At point near Molimow a Russian
detachment advanced upon the Ger
mans and dislodged them from posi-.
tions which threatened the heads Of
the Russian trenches. In this encoun.
ter the Russians used the bayonet
freely and captured some machine
guns.
A third attempt at the invasion Of
Serbian territory has begun, accord.
ing to dispatches from Nish. This
time the Germans have gone to the
assistance of the Austrians, and a
strong Austro-German army has been
gathered for the task, under command
Of Archduke Eugene of Austria.
These troops have been concentrate.

TURKS LOSE 10000
IN CAUCASUS FIGHT
Great Humber Killed, Wounded
and Captured by Russians.

Seventy thousand Turks were kill.
ed, wounded or taken captive by the
Russians In the decisive battle in the
Caucasus region, which ended with
the rout OF Enver Pashas army al
Kara Urgan and Sari-Kamysh.
These figures are given in the
Bourse Gazette, an official publication.
One hundred and sixty thousand resi-.
dents of Persia and Turkey have been
left homeless through the devastation
of the country by the Turkish armies.
The Turks attempted, with their
best Nizam divisions, to effect an en-.
circling movement by moving along
the track of the Oltychai river, but
the Russians encamped at Otto start
ed out in a bitter snowstorm across a
ridge, where they were invisible to
the Turks. The noise of the elements
was such that their approach was un.
heard.
Then, with bayonets fixed, the Rus.
SLAMS sprang into the middle of a
Turkish marching column, which in a
few hours was thrown into blind con
fusion. Great numbers fed into side
rsvines and have not yet been traced.
Reports from the Black sea feet
cruising near the Anatolian coast say
there is a complete absence of the
enemy's war transport, showing there
is an interruption of the regular sup.
ply of provisions and reinforcement5
for the Anatolin army.

DYNAMITE BRIDGE
ON CANADA Line
German Officer Damages StruC-
turG by Explosion
WILL RESIST EXTRADITIOH
The Prisoner, Seized on Maine Side,
Claims Protection of United States,
as offense Was Political.

An attempt to destroy the railroad
bridge spanning the st. Croix river,
which forms the international bound
ary line between eastern Maine and
New Brunswick, was made.
The superstructure of one of the
three spans of the bridge was damag'
ed by dynamite. The attack on the
bridge caused great excitement on the
New Brunswick side, where rumors OF
a German plot spread rapidly, and re-
suited in an immediate investigation
by the provincial authorities.
An inquiry was also begun on the
American side, and this led to the ar
rest at Vanceboro hotel of a man
who gave his name as Werner Van
Horn.
According to the police, the pris.
oner said he was an officer in the
service of Germany, but at first refus.
ed to give his rank. The police assert
he admitted he exploded the dynamite
under a section of the bridge, and
that a dynamite cap and plan OF
the bridge were found in his pockets
when searched.
Van Horn later said he was Ger
man reservist with the rank of cap
tain that he had been in Mexico, and
had vainly sought to join the cOlors.
The officers said he denied having dy-
Mantle in his possession in Maine. He
said he had received it from a man
he never before had seen, after which
he put the dynamite in place and set
it off.
The prisoner was removed to the
United States immigration rooms,
where he was closely guarded. Deputy
Sheriff Ross notified the United
States marshall and the United States
district attorney at Portland asking
for instructions.
When taken into custody at his |
room in the hotel, Van Horn made no
He seemed unable to speak .
good English. No papers were found
to identify him. In a coat pocket he ,
carried a German flag.
Asked why he had dynamited the
bridge, the prisoner, the police say,
made the simple explanation that his
was at war with Great Bri.
tain and that Canada was a part OF
the enemy's country.
Van Horn was made a prisoner OF
the state of Maine. To avoid possible
the Vanceboro authori-
ties made no further move pending
advice from the federal government.
The Canadian authorities indicated
that they would Immediately make
at Washington, with
view to extradition on the ground that

Canadian side of the border.
On the other hand, it was said that
Van Horn would be defended against

list. Clair County Bonds Again
The old st. Clair County bond case,
which has been in and out of court
for forty years, was heard before
Judge A. S. Van Valkenburgh in fed.
eral court in Kansas City recently.
The Judge took under advisement a
demurrer to suit brought by one OF
the judgment creditors Of the county
against the county court for damages
for failing to make a tax levy to pay
off the old railroad bonds.
The suit represented the latest ef-
fort to collect the railroad bonds is
sued in 1871. The bonds and inter-
est now represent claim amounting
to 2 million dollars. The bonds were
issued by the county court to pay for
a railroad which was never built.
The people of the county refused to
pay them. Failing in other efforts
to enforce the collection of the bonds,
Mrs. Clarissa Harrison, one of the
holders of a judgment against the
county, brought suit for $4,000 for
damages against the present county
court for not making a tax levy to
pay the bonds.
