Another machine of the enemy fell

on the night of April ga. one of our
bomharding suuadrons threw ID shells
on the station at Nantillois and five
on the camp at Damvilliers.
French gains in the Verdun sector were
secured through powerful counter.attacSs
which followed German assaults against
the French positions south of Douaumont
village.
Not only were the German attacks un.
successful. the Teutons losing heavily,
but the Kaisers forces were compelled to
fall back i'm the direction of Bois Chauf
fons. which lies west of Douaumont As
result of the French gains In that region

laRe is becoming perllous.
The French counter-drive on the Yer
dun front was made after n tremendous
bombardment with guns of all calbres
from threeinch up to l5.inch. The Ger
man positions were literally drenched
with shells.
QUIT MASS FORMATION.
The Germans have abandoned the mass
formation attack and adopted new meth
DDS designed to spare their remaining eff
fectlves from the murderous artillery fire
of the French artillery.
In Tuesdays fighting south of Douau-
mont the German infantry left the trench
es in long line formation Behind these
men came small columns consisting of
the finest available troops, bearing short
ladders and other special instruments of
warfare.
The loss of the attacking wave Is gen.
orally certain, but the supporting columns
are expected to drive solid wedges into
the French trenches. hold on to them
and consolidate them with their special
equipment until reinforcements arrive.
Three attacking waves were wiped out
in the attacks south of Douaumont in
Tuesdays action before the supporting
columns were sent into action, but the
latter were also moved down so yards
from the French parapets.
For the first time in the whole battle
the German check on Tuesday was fol-
lowed by IA disorderly flight to cover, say
dispatches from the front.

Elsina Helena while Holland is in the
grip of n big war scare caused great eX-
citement today. The tension is greatly
increased.
News of the sinking of the schooner in
the North Sea reached here early today.
A message to her owners said there was
no doubt that she had been attacked by
submarine.
The Government at one /, ordered an
official inquiry
The tension increased today when the
general committee of the lower chamber
met i'm secret session. II was rumored
that the committee, to allay public fears,
will issue a statement setting forth the
reasons for Hollands military activities,
or at least giving assurance that there is
no immediate danger of war.
No one outside official circles knows
exactly what development in the Euro
pean war situation caused the recall OF
soldiers on leave of absence. Editorial
speculation is divided strictly according
TO the sympathies of the newspaper.
The pro-Ally TELEGRAPH declares the
Government acted because of the fear that
Germany is about to violate Hollands
neutrality. The pro-German papers, on
the other hand. declare England has de-
manded the right 10 land an army in
Holland for the invasion of Germany or
has demanded the closing of the Dutch
frontier. That portion of the press which
is not swayed by outside sympathies re-
trains almost entirely from speculation.
England has perslstently held up Dutch
merchant ships and seized their mails il
IL pointed out. A great mass of securities,
consigned from Holland to the United
States, has been confiscated by England.
and cargoes of merchandise, consigned
from the United States to Holland, have
been seized.

a preventive of possible German entry into
Holland.
The former Minister urged an increase
in the Dutch forces so that Germany
would be assured of the ability and in

admitted that there was an increasing

COPENHAGEN, April 5.--Denmark Is
raging with anger over the sinking OF un.

the Government faced such n concerted
demand for aggressive action as has fol-

ships and the death of Danish sailors,

posed German practices that aroused crit
icism in other neutral countries Joined

quest of the American Government for
an explanation of the sinking Of the

has requested the Admiralty to make
every effort possible to obtain full infor-

There is a disposition in official cir

From unofficial reports It was learned
that the report on the sinking of the
Englishman has been received by the
Navy Department, and that the subma-

failed to heed several warning shots and
endeavored to escape.

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone Should Drink Hot
Water with Phosphate In 1t,
Before Breakfast

To feel as fine as the proycrbial
fiddle, we must the liver washed
clean almost every morning, TO prevent
its sponge-like pores from clogging
with indigestible material, sour bile and
poisonous toxins, says noted physi'
clan.
If You get headaches, its your liver
If you catch cold easily, its your liver
If you wake up with bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be
comes rancid, it your liver. Sallow
skin. muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness YOul
liver is the most important, also the
most abused and neglected organ OF
the body. Few know its function OF
how TO release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Nose folks
resort to violent calomcl, which is {
dangerous. salivatnQ chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
Ii. accumulates in the tissues, also at
tacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick o
well, should drink each morning be
fore breakfast, glass Of hot watei
with a teaspoonful Of limestone phos
pnate in it, to wash from the liver ant
bowels the previous days indigestibl'
material; the poisons, sour bile ant
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentarJ
canal before putting more food into Tho
stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re
strict the diet like calomel, because II
can not saliyate, ,,for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. i
is inexpensive and almost tasteless, ano
any pharmacist will sell you quarter
pound. which is sufficient for dem
onstration Of how hot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, Stimulates and
treshens the liver, keeping you feeling
fit day in and day out.
