ATTACK FROM NORTHWEST
Germans Renew Effort to Break Down
Nerdun's Defenses.

London, March S.-Checked again in
the north drive on Verdun the Ger
man crown prince is trying to break
through the citadel's defenses by an
attack from the northwest
Having captured the village of For.
ges, eight miles northwest of Verdun
the Germans are battering French po
sitions on Goose hill with heavy roll
OF artillery. The latest dispatches
from Paris report French batteries re-
plying energetically to this attack.
No anxiety is felt in the French cap
ital over the loss of Forges, these ad-
vices say. The village constituted an
advanced position from which the
French speedily retired under the Ger
man cannonade to the strongly forti-
fed Goose hill positions, one mile to
the south. A further advance by the
Germans would bring them within
easy range of the northwestern forts
of Verdun.
Though full credit is given the Ger.
mans for the success of their first
onward rush the impression is grow
ing here that the severe checks ad-
ministered the crown prince on the
northern front of Verdun may be the
forerunner of a collapse of the Yer
dun offensive.
Beaten Back With Heavy Losses.
Repulsed in every attempt against
Pepper heights the Germans tried a
q a -
French center on Douaumont plateau
They were beaten back with heavy
losses. The latest German thrust on
the west bank of the Meuse is an
other attempt to seek out a weak spot
in the Verdun defense.
The crown princes failure to make
more rapid progress is arousing feel
ings of impatience, If not of uneasi-
ness. in Berlin, according to reports
from Dutch newspapers The Berlin
newspapers are publishing evidently
inspired articles urging the public to
be more patient.
"The movements before Verdun
seem to be slow to the people who
like TO dash through world history in
an express train" says the Berlin
Vossiche Zeitung ITO be sure the
German arms cannot always win vic
tories. But the deeds already ac-
complished should give implicit CON
fidence in the high leadership of our
armies"
The Frankfurter Zeitung also warns
the public not TO become impatient
because Verdun does not fall to the
Germans in sharp period of fighting

University of Wisconsin student, was

There is a Real Difference

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food.
