Entire Division USED by
Germans in TwelUe Attacks;
Stop From Sheer Exhaustion
Ru .1ssociatcd Prcss

Paris. June 14.-The fighting
around Verdun has once more died
down from sheer exhaustion of COM
batants.
An entire division, half of whom
were Bavarians and half Pomeranians,
was used up by the Germans in
twelve separate attempts Monday to
storm the French positions north OF
Thiaumont. From this position the
French flanking fire prevents the
enemy from advancing on NauX
plateau. No result having been at
tanned by nightfall, fresh troops were
brought up and an attempt made to
turn the position from the southwest.
After a desperate struggle footing
was obtained in some of the trenches
on hill No. 321, half a mile west of
Thiaumont and a mile east of Bras.
No effort was made to increase the
advantage yesterday, owing probably
to the losses on Monday which, ac-
cording to prisoners were exception
ally heavy. A man belonging to the
Sixteenth Bavarian infantry stated
that his regiment had been held in
reserve for a big offensive against the
last forts of Verdun, but that it had
been thrown in to support the troops
attacking Thiaumont and had lost
nearly a third of its effectives.

Can Isolate Any Part of
Hospital in Case of Fire

Work done at the Harrisburg Hos
pital during the last year, together
with big improvements in the prop
erty at the institution. formed the
most important part of the annual re-
port of the board of managers, which
was submitted yesterday Among the
items of improvements mentioned was
the addition of twelve fire doors, max
ing it possible to isolate any part of
the building in case of fire, and the
starting of work on a maternity ward
and additional quarters for nurses. A
private telephone exchange will be in
stalled in few weeks. Statistical fig
ures show that a larger number of
patients were treated in the institution
during the last year than the preced-
ing one.

The chief aid to the stand made by

The stiffening of the Austrian resist

taken in the sectors where the two
opposing forces are at grips, whilst in
other sectors the Austrians have begun
so rapid a retreat that for this reason
also few prisoners have been added to

why women
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi.
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" care they truthful?"
"Why do women write such letters?"
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,

for a few days on business. Gerry
had never met him, although she had

his presence no reference to Morris's
"backsliding" was made.
He kissed her affectionately, charm
ingly apoligizing to Connant, and as
sured Connant that no man lived un-
til he married. In his stronger mom-
ents Sedgewick Morris was charming
ly-clever, accomplished, and infinite
ly lovable. He talked mostsinterest-
ingly. He was good-looking, in spite

ard was perfectly groomed.
Gerry, knowing him only under
these attractive conditions before her
marriage, had been prepared to love
him devotedly. Even after she learn
ed of his weakness her impulse was
to help him fight ito stand by him
and lend her strength, her encourage
ment, her consolation when he failed.
But she had speedily realized the
hopelessness of it all. He could make
no proper fight. He explained that he
had learned the futility of fighting.
Disgust for his weakness succeeded
pity in her. If he had tried to over
come this taint she could have respect

But he did not try. He was salts

He insisted upon setting in her chair
for her at table, whispering into
her ear that she looked very sweet.
She was in white, with girdle of
deep violet, and long deep earrings of
dark amethyst hung from her ears.
Her hair was dressed high, and she
had three of his American Beauties at
her belt. She smiled calm. acknowl-
edgement to him for the compliment,
and mentally applauded his clever
ness in arranging t,iat they should
meet before third person. 1t was a
new trick to eliminate awkwardness,
for it would be easier for them to go
on peacefully afterward.
Curiously she studied Connant. He
was big, typically English. And he
