WAR SUMMARY

The French and German forces fight
ing to the northwest Of Verdun appa-
rently, for the moment at least, are
deadlocked the Germans being unable
to advance further, and French at
tempts to expel the invade1s from
captured positions being unavailing.
To the east and northeast of yerdun,
where violent infantry attacks and
bombardments have characterized the
recent fighting only intermittent can
nonading now is going on.
The only infantry engagement repor-
ted anywhere along the French front
was " wss launched by the Germans against
q French trench to the west Of Hill
3O4, northwest Of Verdun. The French
however, brought into play their cur
tain Of fire and the Germans were un-
able to debouch.
The shelling, by the Germans, Of
the Russians at the Ikskull bridge
head, on the eastern battle line, which
has been in progress for many days,
still continues. There has been artil-
lery activity on various other sectors
Of the Russian front, but no infantry
manoeuvres of importance have been
reported.
The Russians in Armenia, have put
down with heavy casualties stubborn
Turk attack, and southeastward, in
the region Of Mush, driven the Otto
man forces from their defences In
mountain chain. In addition the Rus
slams, operating westward from the
Persian frontier toward Bagdad, have
Fdislodged the Turks from fortified po-
Fsitions and driven them farther east
ward.
The Gorilla bridgehead and the re-
gion around San Martino in the Austro
Italian theatre have been heavily
bombarded. At San Martino, Vienna
asserts that the Italians suffered hea-
Wy losses through the explosion of an
Austrian mine. BOmbardments have
Featured the fighting on the other Sec
tors Of this front.
Dispatches received in Paris from
Saloniki are to the effect that there
has been vigorous artillery activity
on the Macedonian front. An Athens
dispatch says the Germans and Bull
garians in this region have heavily
|bombarded the village Of Mayada, their
shells causing much damage.
/ Semi-offcial advices from Berlin say
that the Turks are rapidly construct
ing a railroad through the desert pre-
psratory to another advance on Egypt.

WHAT THE DOCTOR KNOWS.
Kidneys Must Be Right To Insure
Health.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condl-
ton Of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases OF
serious illness, makes a chemical analy-
sis of the patients urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs cannot
readily be brought back to health and
strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics, Bright's Disease, which is real
ly an advanced form Of kidney trouble,
;aused nearly ten thousand deaths in
one year, in the State of New York
alone. Therefore it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy.
The mild and healing Influence or
this preparation, in most cases, is soon
realized, according to sworn statements
and verified testimony Of those who
have used the remedy.
When your Kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-ROot ut once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold 10y every druggist in
bottles of two SiZcs-50c. and S1.0O.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents

RUM0Rs OF PEACE SEND COTTON
UY s1.b0 A BALE
Heavy Buying In New Orleans and New
York Gauss Seasons Biggest Gains

New Orleans, May 9.-Peace rumors
were numerous in the cotton market
after noon today, the market closing
with the sharpest bulges Of the sea-
son which put prices from "a to 80
points-well over $1.50 bale-above
the level Of yestrday's close. Heavy
buying continued until the end Of the
session and .ast prices were 33 t. 81
points mp.
During the morning the market was
apathetic and prices at their best were
only to points up, During the lunch
hour the dulhess was suddenly broken
by all sorts of peace talk, contained
where, and the ring suddenly became
intensely active. Shorts covered IN
confusion :Sd bullish traders were
heavy buyers of long contracts. In
terror 1,oins joined In the buying
movement and the market took on de-
ci,lcd strength.
In New York Market.
New York, May 9.-There was a sud-
den renewal Of general and more
or less excited buying in the afternoon
session Of the cotton market here
to-day and prices made new high
ground for the movement. July con-
tracts sold up to 13 cents and Decem-
Der TO 1885, or about $3.50 bale
above the closing figures Of last night.
Trading had been comparatively
out earlier in the day and may have
been restricted by nervousness over
the Mexican situation but there has
been no sign Of spot pressure while
trade interests were good buyers and
a renewal of bull support augmented
by peace rumors started the market up
ward. Covering by local and Southern
shorts was feature Of the advance.

METHOpISTS PLAN MANY CHANG.
ES IN THE RITUAL FORMS

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, May S.-A
service for the burial Of children and
their reception into the church is pro-
posed in a revisal ritual of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, submitted to-
day for action by the general confer
ence in session here. Previously only
q ceremony for adults has existed.
The report, offered by a special COM
mittee appointed in 1912, is the third
proposal recently made for q change
in the form Of services provided by
John Wesley when he instituted the
church in 1889. The argument was ad-
vanced during discussion today that
a modification of the wording is neces-
sary to consistency of usage and great
er clearness and brevity. Opposition
was based on the ground that the Ian
guage of the present ritual has been
made sacred by continued use.
Shorter Baptismal Form.
The new form suggested provides
that the service for the baptism of in
fants and for ordination shall be great
" shortened. The burial service would
be modified by the insertion Of addi-
tional scriptual selections, giving fuller
expression Of the Christian hope as
found In the New Testament. In the
marriage ceremony it is provided that
when the ring is used the words, land
with all my worldly goods 1 thee en-
dow" shall be omitted for the reason,
the committee reported, that the cere-
mony itself implies common owner
ship of property.
To Eliminate the Devil.
It asc is proposed that the word
devil" shall be stricken from passage
where it occurs and that the word
"sin" shall be substituted. The phrase,
1.-The triumph shall sound and the dead
be raised" would be eliminated, on
the ground that it means the resurrec-
tion Of the spirit and not Of the body.
The same reason is advanced for sub
stituting in the burial service the
Twenty-third Psalm for the Thirty
ninth Psalm.
The committee reported that de-
sire not to lengthen the ritual led tc
the rejection of proposals for services
for special purposes.

GERMANY APOLOGIES
TO UNITED STATES
Submarine Commander Thought He
Was Dealing With an Enemy
Warship-Case Will Be Con-
sidered Closed Except for
Arranging Payment Of
Indemnities.

Washington, May 10.-Germany, in
note erceived by the State Depart
ment to day by cable from Ambassa-
dor Gerard, admits that a German sub
marine torpordoed the channel steam
or Sussex in violation Of assurances
given the United States, expresses re-
gret for the incident, announces that
the submarine commander has been
appropriately punished" and declares
readiness to pay an adequate indem-
nifty to Americans injured on the
vessel.
Case Will Be Considered Closed.
1t was indicated at the State De-
partment that the German statement
that the offending commander Aad
been punished would be accepted, and
the Sussex case considered closed ex-
cept for arranging for the payment OF
indemnities to the several citizens Of
the United States who were hurt.
There probablxy will be no attempt to
negotiate for these indemnities or for
final settlement of the Lusitania and
other cases pending, however, suf-
ficient time has elapsed to indicate
how the last American note was re-
ceived in Berlin and whether the new
submarine policy is being lived up to.
Commander DisObeyer Orders
Results of an investigation, based
on facts supplied by the American
Government, the German communica-
ton says, has shown that the con-
tention originally set up that the ex-
plosion on the Sussex was to be
traced to a cause other than a Ger
man submarine attack, cannot be
maintained. While asserting that the
was dealing with an enemy Warshlp.
Foreign Minister Won Jagow admits
that he formed his Judgment too hur-
riedly and therefore did not act fully
in accordance with the strict instruc-
tion which called upon him to eXer-
else particular care.

SAM NICHOLS SMITES JERSEY
MAN SORE
Fourth District Congressman Easily
Beats Opponent Who Starts
Race Question Argument

Washington, May 10.-NewS of how
a member Of the South Carolina dele
CATION in the house. Samuel ]. Nichols
If SpaitInhurg. severely classified a
New Jersey member in Washington
hotel dining room last night for re-
marks which the latter made concern
ing the white people of the South and
their treatment of the negro, leaked
out here today, although efforts were
made to keep the matter quiet. That
the Spartanburger came out best In
the fistic encounter is quite apparent.
Last night Mr.. Nichols was sitting
in the dining room of hotel when
the New Jersey congressman came III
and sat by him. In a few minutes the
latter's secretary also came i'll and
joined the party. The New Jersey
man brought up the color question and
told Mr.. Nichols that the people Of
the South did not understand the he
gro and a good deal more along the
same line, none Of which was cOmpli-
mentary to the white people. He also
said that his father was an abolition
iSt and that he was one too.
At this point the Fourth district
congressman protested that he did not
care to discuss the negro question, the
abolitioniSt or anything about the
subject The New Jersey man con-
tinued his insulting remarks.
Then quick as tightening out went
Mr. Nichols left fist, straight from
the shoulder. landing squarely on the
New Jersey mans jaw for a good up
percut. The New Jersey man had been
told what the South CarOlinian
thought of himself and his ancestors.
IF you repeat that 1 will consider
that l have been insulted," said the
New Jersey man. Mr.. Nichols did nc
answer but sent another swinging
blow into New Jerseys physiognOmy
that knocked him down good and hard
and there was 10 attempt to retaliate,
although the New Jersey mans secre-
tar was standing by.
A clerk in the hotel, who at first
thought he would interfere, changed
his mind when he saw the South Caro-
lima blow landing on theNew Jersey
face and instead, ran out Of the hotel
door, making for home, so those
around said, and only returned at the
earnest request of the proprietor when
assured that no harm would come to
him.
When the story leaked out here to-
day Mr. Nichols was asked for state
ment concerning the matter and was
reluctant to make it public. However.
he said that if all the facts were given
he had no objection to their publica-
ton. He stated that he regretted the
matter very much but that when the
New Jersey man had cast aSpersit ms
on the South there was nothing to do
hut slap his fee=wt-ffttiielf ffe 1.
tIy did utnil pulled off.
This morning the New Jersey man,
after getting Il good drubbing at the
hands of the South Carolinian last
night, sent an apology fer his part in
the encounter, if, in fact it can be
said that he had any part except this
concerning the South and his
peculiar feeling when he came in sud
den and unexpected contact with the
dining room floor
