WOMAN AND WAR

A Western woman doctor declares that women are physically fit for ser vice at the battlefront. Probably some exceptional women may be, but are not the majority prone to ailments which make even household cares a burden? Hence the necessity for that great remedy which during forty years has done more than any other to re- Iieve such ailments and mitigate the suffering of American women-Lydia E.

Paris, Jan. 25th.-The War Office state
ment on the progress of hostiliti4s given out
this afternoon says In Belgium last night
the German and French artillery branches
continue to demonstrate their activity in the
region Of Newport. Further details confirm
previous reports that the attack of the enemy
delivered Yesterday near he mouth of the
User River was checked by the fire of oar
GA 8. The Germans were unable to come
out except at a single point where several
groups were successful in penetrating into
the first line of trenches. They were how
ever Immediately driven ont in very spirited
fight, in which hand grenades were used.
These caused the Germans perceptible Losses.
In the Artois section the movement on the
part OF the enemy yesterday against our
positions to the enst Of MELVILLE st. Yaast,
which resulted IN complete failure, was re-
sumed at the end Of the day in greater
strength. After Il further series of explo-
sious of mines accompanied by 4 very violent
bombardment, the Germans delivered al at
tack along q front of l 500 yards in the angle
made by the roadway from RavoIons with
the road from Melville St. WAIST to the LUIS.
They were driven back 10 their lines by our
fire. At two points where our trenches had
been shattered by mine explosions, they were
successful IN occupying certain c%raters, but
from most of these they were almost imme-
diately expelled.
London, Jan. 25th-The rout of the Turks
in the battle which resulted in their being
driven into Erzerum, appears from later
accounts to have been even more decisive
than shown in the first repofts. Apart from
the Ottoman losses in actual battle the Rus
Sims captured during the pursuit so officers
and 1000 men. They also took scores of
machine,guns and enormous quantities Of
munitions.
The influx Of 120, 900 Turks into Erzerum is
considered to reduce the defensive power of
the fortress.
Paris, Jan. 25th. via London 26th.-The
following official communication was issued
by the War Office tonight: Two German
aeroplanes this morning dropped about IF
teen bombs on Dunkirk and it's envirous.
Five persons were killed and three wound
ed.
To the north of the Aisne we dispersed a
large convoy in the region of Claonne.
A German heavy battery, which attempted
10 destroy the bridge at Berry au-Bac, was
damaged by the fire of our heavy caIibre
guns. On the heights Of The Aleuse in the
sector Of Notify a small enemy detachment
which attempted to approach our lines after
a somewhat intense bomEardment, was
easily dispersed by our fire.
London, Jan. 26th.-The morning papers
emphasize The renewal Of heavy fighting on
The Western front. They believe that there
was IA serious German attempt to break
through the French lines close to the Elan
ders coast on Monday, and predict chat Ger
man activity in the West will probably reach
It's highest effort on Thursday when the Ger
man Emperor celebrities his birthday.
