.VERDUN BATTLE
is Renewed BY
GERMAN DRIVES
Terrific Assaults Made on
Sunday Against Vast
Allied Forces,

Paris, April "a new phase of the
battle of Verdun has begun and the
belief prevails that the violence of
the latest attacks foreshadows another
attempt by the Germans to rush the
fortress with vast forces. New bat
teries of large ca1ibres have been NOV
ed up closer to the French front and
the German infantry has been rested
and reorganized.
Yesterdays fighting on the whole
was unit unfaveable to the French, it
is authoritative1y stated. The object
of the Germans was to clear the ap-
proaches to Fort Douaumont and 1 s.
900 men were thrown forward on the
mile and a half line between Oouau-
mont fort and the village of Vaux.
The attacking force succeeding in
crossing a little ravine which hitherto
had stopped them entering the Call
1ette wood. Further east they dis
lodged the French from the last ruin
ed houses of. the village of Vaux but
the French positions were so placed
as to make it virtually impossible for
the Germans to debauch from the
village. Vigorous French counter-at-
tacks drove them back to the upper
fringe of the Caillette wood.
The total result of the very formid-
able effort they put forth was a gain
of about 500 yards of. Terrain, more
than offset, it is stated. by the very
heavy losses they had endured.
On the west of the river the Ger
mans attacked the Avocourt block
house in a no less determined manner
but again met with complete failure
the observers declare.

Marvellous

A continual flood of testimo niaIs are
pouring into the Lax-a-Tone Man
daily and it is hard to put forward
the most interesting ones to the public,
and we are trying to give those prefer
ence that are telling their experience
for the good of the many. In all the
history OF proprietary medicine there
has never been such an outburst of
genuine gratitude as has been given to
Lax-a-Tone and it is very simple 1t
is a, m edicine that was made to pro-
duce results, it's formulae is absolutely
scientific and will be given to anyone
that is at all in doubts as to it's merit.
J. D. Hartigan stands behind Lax-a-
Tone because he has been convinced
by the users of this medicine.
Mr.. Walt Adams, of 80 CORTLAND

highly of this nedicine that it has OBJ
tanned results with him in a case of in

your own town local testin onials have
been given right here and even the
number of the houses and also pic
lures so that Identification could be
used and if there is a Skeptical one in
Bridgeport we would be pleased to try

what Lax-a-Tone will do and we want
you to know it also.

VILLA, IN FLIGHT,
HOPES TO RECRUIT
CARRANZA TROOPS
Reported Heading Toward Chihuahua City, Where He
Will Attempt to Influence Garrison to Join Outlaws
No Reports to substantiate Belief That Rebel Chief
Has Been Badly Injured.

Ell Paso, April 3-Reports from Mex
lean sources in the interior received
today asserted Francisco Villa was
that his ernissaries were attempting to
influence the garrison of that town
form their allegiance to the de facto
government.
Nothing was said in the reports of
Villas alleged injuries, an omission
which helped to confirm the opinion
already freely expressed on the border
that the bandits wounds were an IN
vention of his own, reported with the
intention of deceiving his pursuers.
The absence of any official news
fom the front since the defeat of the
Villa band near Guerrero by Col Dodd
last Wednesday, has considerably
dashed the hopes of those who saw in
the victory the beginning of the end
of the bandits career.
At the same time it is pointed out
that the American cavalrymen have a
forr-f dabIe task before them in search
ing the barren mountain waste where
Vi7'-4 is supposed to have taken refuge
The fact that no further fighting has
been reported is taken as an indfca-
ton that the bandits have been effec-
tualIy scattered by the American
troopers.
AS usual in the lack of definite in
formation the border is again a hive
Of rumors of an alarming and sensa-
tfonaI character. The majority of
these rupnors are based on stories
brought from the interior by Mexicans
and the few Americans who struggle
in here by ones and two daily. The
most scircumstantial of these stories at
present deals with the reported defec-
ton of Col. sCano, the Carranza, COM
mander at Namfquipa.
(Yanos is the chief lieutenant of Gen
eral Luis Herrera, who was supposed
to have declared against Carranza
several days ago. a report that was
vigorously denied by the officials lof
tn de- facto government. The main
facts in support of Cano's revolt are

Seek Homes Here For
Dependent Children

An urgent plea was made at all the
Catholic churches yesterday in behalf
of the Catholic Charitable Bureau,
which is trying to procure a list of
families of the city desiring to adopt
homeless or dependent children. The
bureau, which has been established
since January, has met many difficult
ties in placing children because of the
tremendous influx of people in the
city. This influx has somewhat hamp-
cred the work of the organization be-
cause of congested conditions of the
homes.
Examples were cited where one
parents was dead and the other ill at
a sanitariun. The children have not
the proper care. AT present the bur
reau has two cases of boys. three years
old, whose mothers are dying. The
father wishes to board the child and is
willing to pay $3.50 a week for the
upkeep. The organization also wishes
to place in home a baby boy one
year who is bereft of parents. The
bureau asks all families of the city

ward their names so Immediate atten-
ton will be given.

that he has not been heard from for
more than a week and that he is
known to have expressed strong anti
american sentiments on several occa-
slons. Unlike Herrera, Cano his been
a p1tter enemy of Villa and it is not
supposed that if he has deserted the
standard of the first chief he has
joined the fugitive but has simply de-
CARED himself against cooperation
with the soldiers of the United States
good deal of significance is at
tacfied to the fact that while General
GaV1era and Consul Garcia insist that
they are convinced of Cano's loyalty
they assert that they have had no
communication from him or from his
immediate superior. General Bertani,
for some time. Up to a week ago
General Gaviera claimed that he was
in receipt of daily kilograms from
both Bertani and. Cano.
There is something of a mystery at
tached to the movement of Mexican
troops at points close to the border.
IT is known that large bodies of Car
rama soldiers have been moved from
CAMPS in the interior and various
places within 20 miles of the inter-
national line butn o explanation has
been given of these n1aneuvers beyond
g. general intination that the de facto
government is anticipating possible
action by the followers of Felix Diaz
who is now considered the head of the
Cientif1co party.
Most of the stories brought from the
interior are contradictory, especially
those from Mexican sources. Ameri-
can refugees agree generally III des-
cribingf conditions as alarming but
they invariably refuse to be quoted,
on the ground that they expect to
return to Mexico and are afraid of
arousing prejudices against them.
Their stories were Offset by the fact
that several of their number who fed
across the border after the Co1unb US
massacre have returned to their
former homes convinced that they
have nothing to fear.

old Office.
The passing of Mr.. keenan, as head
of a business known from one end OF
the state to the other, is bringing to
the minds of veteran horesmen TO-DAY
some of his history.
They recall the racing days of the
veteran. When horse racing on Penn
broke lake was one of the prime
sports of Bridgeport. Mr.. keenan, was
among the most prominent sportsmen
of the city. One race in particular
was mentioned today. About 10 or
II ears ago, Mr.. keenan,, DIR. Thomas
Martin and David Armstrong held a
three-cornered race on the ice. Mr.
keenan, and DIR. Martin were driving
their own horses, and shorty Brown
was behind Armstrong; mare.
The race was won by about three
lengths by Mr.. keenan,, with Fred FOL
ger, the famous trotter. Brown was
second Fred FoIger was one of the
Y1aanv fast horses maintained by Mr..
keenan,. He bought the animal in
New York, trained it, and after racing
many times, sold it again. Fred Fol-
ger never lost a speed contest on Gin
ton avenue, the old speed way for
trotters.
Barnurn & Bailey's circus obtained
many of its best horses from Mr..
keenan, One horse, absolutely green
sold for $500 to the Barnun show,
took to the sawdust ring so well that
in three weeks 1t sold for 81, 500. It
was taken abroad by another circus. .
Mr. Keenan, entered the livery bus
mess 27 years ago. He was employ
ed as foreman for F. H. Bronson seven
years. then he entered q partnership
with his employer and later, when
Mr.. Bronson died, he took over the
business.
'In the early days of this business. .
said Mr.. Keenan,. Fairfield avenue
was a side street, and the business
district was at Main and State streets

of the stables and a cafe on the other,
Now the old stables are in the heart
