PARIS, April 1S-German troops

ing 100000 men, participated in yes
terday's violent attack against the
French lines east of the Meuse, II was
officially announced today.
In last nights lighting the Germans
we're partially thrown back from a
first line trenchh they penetrated in
Chauffeur forest, northwest OF Douau-
mont.
The Germans attacked with the
greatest violence on a ragged front,
extending from the Meuse in a south
easterly direction to the Douaumont-
Ornes road. German artillery had
prepared the way for the assault by
a drum-fire that opened at midnight
and continued without cessation for
twelve hours.
The first blow fell against the French
barriers in the narrow ravine southeast
OF Pepper Heights, the scene of furious
fighting ten days ago. Time and again
the grey-clad legions piled up against
the French works i'm fruitless charges
The ravine and its wooded slopes were
swept by a steady stream of shrapne
self was choked with bodies.
Repulsed in this attack. the German:
extended the fighting on both hanks
One division, advancing from Talou
Heights, moved southwark along the
west bank Of the Meuse, but came under
a heavy fire that forced an immediate
retreat.
The heaviest blow was struck on tn,
eastern wing. Gathering up two divis
ions, the German commanders hTleS
them against the French line in Chauf
T. n and Ablain Woods, driving south
ward in an attempt to reach the Douau
mont Bras road.
The first German attacks were heater
back before the enemy reached th
French trenches. The second assault, de
livered by still heavier forces, clearei
the enemy into the advanced position
and forced to surrender Of a redoub
and its connected advanced trenche
forming an exposed salient northwest o
Douaumont villages.
The losses on both sides in the hand
to-hand struggle in the she'll wrecxe'
woods were very heavy. Unprotected b,
ravines, bhe attacking forces sacrifice'
men by the hundreds on small sector
Of this front. The French successes re
ported in today's communique from tn
war office apparently were against tn
advanced positions taken by the Ger
mans yesterday.

and other positions west of the Meuse

Look out for mosquitoes now.
The rains have filled every old
can. bucket and hole with water.
Before you think of it the little
wigglers will appear, and then
it is but very short time until
the full grown mosquito begins
to sing and bite. Pour out the
water in the cans, buckets and
pots. Drain or oil all the holes
and ponds where water stands.
Wiggletails are young mosqul-
toes, you know, and if you keep
down the wiggletails you have
no mosquitoes.

WE LOVE THEM FOR THE CASH
ONLY

This paper is absolutely non
partisan in county and district
politics. So far as he knows the
-Mliter is on friendly terms with
every man who is seeking office
in the county or district. No is
Sues are at stake. 1t is to be
merely selection of individuals
to fill the offices. To oe sure
the writer has his choice, but the
other man has a right to his also.
This paper is neither fighting
for not against any of them. 1t
has space for sale at the very
low rate of twelve and a half
cents an inch for the first inser-
ton, and 10 cents for the second.
This is as cheap as this paper
can fight for any one of the
many, and then the dope" must
be furnished by the aspiring one.
If a man has special qualifica-
tions for filling an office better
than the other man we shall be
glad to assist him in giving the
facts to the public at the regu-
lar rate. This is the only fair
method to all. This paper will
carry a message a column in
length to thousands of people
for only two dollars and half.
How many homes can you reach
in person for this amount? In a
carefully written article you can
say the right thing in the right
way, while you might not say
what you would like to say in
IN off-hand conversation. News
paper space is being used more
and more by the candidates who
IRE quick to see and grasp an
opportunity. Why don't you try
it?

GERMANY SCORES
Allies MOTIVES
Accuses Foes of Full Respon-
sibility for ConAict-Con-

Berlin, July 2s-"Building upon what
she has already achieved, Germany
treads the threshold of the third year of
the war with unshaken confidence. But
the goal has not yet been reached. for
the enemy has not yet come to see the
impossibility of subjugating Germany"
The foregoing is the concluding para
graph of a statement issued by the Ger
man foreign office in which the causes.
course and future of the war Is discuss
ed from a political standpoint.
Germany accuses the allies of full re-
sponsibility for the conflict, declaring
that Russia and Italy seek to expand
their frontiers, that England fights for
the commercial supremacy of the world
and that France was led into the mael-
strom by the passion of revenge.
The statement, after uttering these ac-
cusations, says:
I'm England, too. the mask has been
dropped. 1t is openly admitted that Bel
gium was only a pretcxt to Justify Eng
lands participation in the war which was
undertaken only for self-interest.
Germany must be destroyed. Germany
shall never again raise her head. eco
nomically nor militarily. In this way IL
the goal of our enemy more clearly enun-
cIated during the second year of the war
1t Is equally clear that the talk of a
struggle of democracy against militarisr
Is only a catch word used by our enemies
to create sentiment and to cloak theiI
real purposes Of destruction"
