Germans and French Launch
Unsuccessful Attacks on
the Verdun Front.
HEAVY ARTILLERY DUELS
ON BOTH SIDES OF MEUSE
Numerous Air Battles on Western
Front, and London Reports At
tacks on British Positions.

PARIS, May 20, HAS AIM
Two attacks were made by Ger
man troops advancing last night
from Corbeaux wood, on the Yer
dun front. The French war Office
report of today says these as
saults resulted in failure.
East of the Meuse the night
was comparatively calm, except
for heavy artillery action in the
vicinity of Fort Naux.
Fifteen aerial encounters oc-
Cured and two German machines
were brought down, one OF them
falling in flames.
Official French Statement.
The text of the statement follows:
South of Roye, in the region of
Beuvraignes. French artillery over
whelmed the first line German organ
ization.
"On the left bank of the River Meuse
both the French and the German artll-
lery were active last night.
yesterday evening at o'clock a
German attack advancing from the
Corbeaux woods was completely re-
pulsed by our curtain of fire and the
fire of our artillery. A second vigor-
Gus attack delivered at about midnight
in the same locality also was driven
back
"On the right bank of the river the
night passed in relative calm except IN
the region of the fort of Eaux. Here
there was very spirited artillery night

In the Lorraine district we have dis
persed a strong German accommodating
party in the forest of Parroy.
Fifteen Attacks by Airmen.
French pilots yesterday delivered

Denies Current Rumor,

Chairman Hilles denied a report that
the organization had ever thought of
attempting to force the nomination Of
a candidate for President the first day
of the convention.
Such a plan has never even been dis

will win more men to fine cars. Here
tofore many cheap cars7-cars which
lacked quality-have had about the
same motor as fine cars. The initial
performance failed to show the vast
difference.
The Hudson Super-Six makes the
difference conspicuous. Here is
motor of almost doubled capacity
without any added size. Here is
certain and constant economy to on
set any difference in price. And here
is that smoothness, that fiexibility,
that abundant capacity which motor
lists prize above all else in car.
Any man who buys a Six buys it
because of these qualities. He buys
it because in these respects it far
excels the four. But the Super-Six eX-
cells the former Six in a still more
emphatic way. A chasm lies between
them. This fact, we know, will bring
tens of thousands from lesser cars to
the Hudson.
The Hudson Super-SiX, because of
the mammoth output, is the lowest
priced high-grade car that is built.
In the course of five years it Will
prove saving beyond any lower
quality car at 5000 or over. And
now, in addition, you get a motor
nearly twice better than any other
six. A better performer than any
eight or any twelve. Few will accept
a slightly cheaper six with differ
ence so great as that.
In beauty, luxury and finish we
have done our best to reach the apex
in the Hudson Super-Six. No ques-
ton of cost was considered. We
have wanted a car which looked the
supremacy which this new motor
gives 1t.
Hudson bodies have for years been
famous. Last summer this company
brought out the yacht-line body with
the new lustrous finish. Last fall, in
their closed cars, they set many new
standards in design and appointment.
They were conceded to be the most
artistic models shown.

Ford Car Runs Printing Press.

Ford cars have long since accom-
plished practically everything that
lies within the native province of
automobiles, and have also shown a
large degree of facility in handling
affairs outside of their class. Pump
ing water, running electric motors,
exterminating gophers and providing
current for the operation of tele-
phone exchange have become history,
and now car from the salesroom
of Dutee w. Flint, Ford representa-
tive in Rhode Island and Connecticut,
steps in and helps the Greenwich
(Conn) Graphic and News" get out
its edition. And this unusual service
was given with the same satisfying
results that over 100000 other Ford
cars are giving every day.
The story is told by the newspapec
itself as follows:
Tuesday, the day on which "The
Graphic and News" is published,
there was no electric power available
Moving to storm damage, and as a
result, the entire mechanical part
of the plant was crippled. The staff
was in a quandary and every effort
was made to secure an engine of SUI
fjcient power to turn the wheels and
make possible the printing of the pa
per. But to no avail.
Manager Shea, of the Dutee Flint
automobile agency, was then called
in and provided a Ford touring car.
In less than an hour the little ma
chine was connected with the shaft
ing in the mechanical department by
means of belt running from rear
wheel of the car in through a win
dow to a pulley on the shaft which
controls the press and other ma
chinery. After it had been started
and warmed up, the powerful little
motor drove the whole plant without
a hitch.
"The performance of the splendid
little Ford engine is considered re-
markable by everyone, automobile
owners and mechanics included. II
is difficult to provide an impossible
task for the Ford car"
These records of achievement
strengthen the Ford owners belief
in the wonderful Ford motor.
Mr. Tom Cooper is the Ardmore
distributor of the famous Ford car.

Brothers have devoted much atten-
ton to export business.

Brothers nave devoted mucn dIIen-
ton to export business.
While officials of the company main
tain their usual reticence in dis
cussing matters of policy, it is
known that the company has had
very successful year in export
lines and that Dodge Brothers cars
have won a popularity abroad that
rivals the esteem in which it is held
at home.
No figures are given out on the
actual number shipped to foreign
countries, but it is known that agen-
cies have been established in the
principal European countries and
throughout the far east, particularly
in India and Australia.
The car has proven exceedingly
popular in England and Ireland and
the sales are holding up well, despite
the slump occasioned by the duty i'm
posed by Great Britain.
Dodge Brothers have not accepted
war orders, and yet they have ship
ped many cars to all of the countries
to which it is possible to ship motor
cars. The Dodge is handled by the
Patterson Auto company in Ardmore.

The Hudson New Super-S'x.

1t has been only five months at
this writing that a new Hudson
model was brought out by the manu-
facturers. 1t was the most popular
Hudson they ever produced. Within
one month the over-demand forced
them TO stop all advertising. And the
sales. by twice over, broke all Hudson
records.
But three months later their Super
Six showed the end of the Six as it
had been. So they stopped their
production on open models, losing
5000 sales as a consequence.
Every Hudson facility, from that
time on, has been devoted to the
Super-Six.
The company saw, too, that the Su-
per-Six meant a multiplied Hudson
demand So at once they started
enormous factory additions, doubling
the Hudson plant. This, with equip
ment, required an extra. investment
of over s1,500,OO0.
Then they bought sufficient mater
ial to build s42,OOO,0O0 worth of
these new cars. That was before a
single Super-Six had been shown.
And that whole output has been sold
to dealers before the first car is
shipped.
That indicates the confidence which
men who know have in this car.
Another fact is that the SuperSi1

Police Fitted For
'Naty Blue Caps;
Old Hats Doomed
HATTlEsBURG'S FINEST" TO DON
THEM WHEN THE SUMNER
UNIFORMS ARRIVE.

The brown Rough Rider hats, in
the parlance of the street, 'slouch
lids" which have characterized the
Hattiesburg police force since it first
came into existence, are to be laid
away on a high shelf along with the
high-wheeled bicycles, the old horse
drawn cars, and certain Ford jokes.
And in their places, spick and span
blue natty caps, such as are worn by
the bluecoats of the larger cities of
the country, are to appear.
This decision was reached at police
headquarters today, after conference
between Chief of Police Bennett and
his men. AS soon as the new summer
uniforms of the officers and men ar
rive, which is expected soon, the caps
are to be donned, and there's no rea-
son why the Hattiesburg policemen
shouldn't put up as good an appear
ance then as those of any other city.
The caps, which have decidedly
high crowns. are believed to be just
as cool as the broad -brimmed hats
now worn, and they are much less eX-
pensive.
The men have all been fitted, their
sizes taken, and they can hardly wait
for the arrival of the entire supply.
