RUSSIANS PRESSING
TOWARD BAGDAD
GERMANY HAS HuRRlEpLY DIS.
PATCHED FORCE TO TRY TO
STEM RUSSIAN ADVANCE.
Advance Has Been Swift and Over
Easy Road to Ancient Nlneveh.-
Artillery Duel In France
Continues.

London.-The Russian official state
ment, announcing that the advance on
Mosul continues. probably wells i'm
portal news. The Russian communi-
cations are generally day or two
late in announcing the actual attain
ments, and 1t is considered not un-
likely that the Bagdad railway, which
runs along the left bank of the Tigris
and has been for couple OF days
within cavalry ride of the Russian adj
vance, is already cut.
The Russian advance In this direc-
ton has been swift and silent toward
an easy road which leads to Mosul or
ancient Nineveh, where the German
Bagdad railway joins the Tigris.
Germany has hurriedly dispatched
forces, it is believed, to the Turkish
center at Erzinang, to try to stem the
Russian advance, but apparently these
efforts have come too late. To the
northwest around Diarbekh the Turks
attempted an attack on the Russians,
but were repulsed.
The Germans In the lake region be.
tween Dvinsk and Wilma attacked and
occupied advanced Russian trenches
near Lake Dole. The Russians, how
ever. In counter-attack expelled the
invaders and drove them back to their
former positions. In the lower Stripa
region of t4alicia the Teutons launched
an attack against the Russian
trenches, but we're repulsed.
On the greater portion of the line
In Belgium and France the artillery
Of both the Germans and entente al
lies continues active, being especially
vigorous in Belgium In the regions of
Dixmude and st. Georges and in
France around the Avocourt wood, hill
304 and LIE Mort Homme, northwest
Of Verdun. The Germans have direct.
ed another infantry attack against the
French positions west of hill 304, for
the possession OF which there has been
much sanguinary fighting, but the
maneuver was again checked by the
%'rench curtain of fire.
The Austrians in the region south
and southeast Of Trent in southern
Tyrol are reported by Vienna to have
captured Italian trenches at several
points, taken prisoner 1866 men,
among them sixty-five officers, ana
captured seven guns and eleven ma
chine guns. The entry Of Austrians
into Italian trenches east OF Monfal-
cone, near the head of the gulf of
Triest, and the capture here OF addi-
tional officers and men also is record
ed by Vienna.

FRANCE UNWILLING
TO PROPOSE PEACE
PolNcAlRE SAYS FIGHT WILL
CONTINUE UNTIL GERMANS
SUE FOR PEACE.
Declares That France Does Not Want
Germany to Tender Peace, But
Wants Her Adversary to Ask
for Peace.

Nancy. Poincaire, In an
address here Sunday, responded to
Germanyis declaration regarding peace
contained in the German reply to the
American note.
France does not want Germany to
tender peace" said the president, but
wants her adversary to ask for peace.
The president then made known
clearly the only kind OF peace accept
able to France. The address was de-
liyered at the Moltitor garrison be-
fore large number of Lorraine refu-
gees, to whom the president, after ex-
pressing his sympathies and renewing
promises of solicitude and protection,
said:
France will not expose her sons to
the dangers Of new aggressions. The
central empires, haunted by remorse
for having brought on the war, are
terrified by the indignation and hatred
they have stirred up in mankind, are
trying today to make the world be
lieVe that the entente allies alone are
responsible for the prolongation OIL
hostilities--a dull irony which will de
ceive none.
Neither directly nor indirectly have
our enemies offered us peace. But We
do not want them to offer It to US;
we want them to ask 1t Of us. We dc
not want to submit to their condi
tons. we want to imp 1se ours on them
We do not want peace which would
leave imperial Germany with the
power to recommence the war an6
keep Europe eternally menaced. We
want peace which receives from re
stored rights serious guarantees o.
equilibrium and stability.
so long 40 that peace is not as
sured to as; so long as our enemies
will not recognize themselves as van
quished, we win not cease to fght.''

SUGGESTS BOWS FOR MEN
Loose Hats With q Chin Ribbon Have

Chicago Doctor.

For some centuries man has not
been addicted to the hat beautiful.

an. He has required his head
gear to be utilitarian and comfort
able nothing more. But now it's.
utility and comfort are being assailed
by forwardlooking iconoclasts. Doc
tor Reynolds of Chicago AYERS that
the construction of the masculine lid
causes badness and boldly recon-
mends that hats be abandoned alto
gether. Doctor Skrainka, another
health authority, suggests as COM
promise q loose-fitting hat, tied under
the chin with ribbons.
II men act at all in the premises
they viii probably adopt Doctor Rey-
nolds' suggestion. Hatless men may
be surveyed with some degree OF
euuanimity, but men dolled up in
a Dolly Warden or Salvation Army hat,
with q little bow Of ribbons under
the chin, il unthinkable. Better the

bands and bows tempting man to look
upon himself 80 thing Of beauty and

We have given you indorseme from reputable people here and let them tell you their experience with Lax a-Tone. In other words, we have not asked you to take our un- supported word as we feel if a rem edy has merit that it can easily be proven and the proof of the pudding is in the eating. We have given you many indorsem ents of New Britain people and we intend to give you many more and keep on giving them to you until every man and woman in New Britain that are suffering from constipation, sour acid stomach, gas, bloat, dizzy spells, torpid liver. sick and bilious headaches and those suffering from rundown condition of the system with poor blood, blotched skin, bad breath, and furred tongue are thoroughly convinced that Herbal Lax-a-Tone will help them, so do not delay but get in the health column and it will surprise you what one bottle of this remarkable remedy will do.
