Army Of $4,000 Engaged in
Attack on 25-MiIe Front.
first LARGE BATTLE OF PRESENT YEAR
May Be Forerunner Of More Decisive
Events Battle Only Begun
Gain Small; Loss Heavy.

Paris The battle of Verdun contin-
ues with growing intensity. 1t ex-
tends over front of 400 kilometers
(25 miles), and seven German army
corps (280,000 men), are engaged.
This announcement was made officially
by the war office.
The official statement issued earlier
in the day made reference to the ener-
getic bombardment being conducted
in that region, but referred to the in
fantry activity as extending over
front of only Is kilometers (10 miles).
There was violent fighting at other
points on the French front as well.
"The struggle" says the War Office
communication, sis continued with
violence against the right bank of the
Meuse toward the southeast. East of
this point counter attack enabled us
to retake the greater part of the forest
of Causes, situated in the salient oc-
cupied by the enemy north of Beau
mont.
"a strong German attack on Herbe
forest was stopped by our curtain fire.
According to statements Of prisoners,
whole units were completely destroyed
in the course of these actions.
"A desultory artillery duel contin-
ues in the region of Haute Charriere
and Of Fromerey in lorraine. In the
region of Nomeny, our artillery has
been active. An enemy reconnaissance
north of Letricourt failed to reach our
lines.
"In the Herbe forest we have evac-
uated the village of Haumont. We
still hold the envirous after bitter
fight, in which our troops inflicted
heavy losses on the enemy"
The great battle raging along the
25-mile front from Etain to Malan-
court is being followed with intense
interest by the public. 1t disposes
effectively of the question whether the
Germans would make an early, often
sive. The battle is the first on large
scale since the offensive in the Cham
pagne in September and is believed to
be the forerunner Of stirring and pos
sibly decisive events.
The principal fighting centers in the
rough and thickly wooded country be-
tween Etain and Damvillers. Here
some 300, 900 of the German Crown
Princes best infantry are engaged.
The battle as yet is only beginning,
but it is said already to have cost the
assailants Of the French heavy casual
ties and without any appreciable ad-
vantage.

Various Forms
Of Headache

1t Is necessary in order to treat head
aches properly to understand the causes
which produce the affection" says DR.. ]. w.
Ray, of Blockton, Ala. Continuing, he says,
Physicians cannot even begin the treat
ment Of disease without knowing what
causes giverise to 1t, and we must remem-
Der that headache Ia to be treated accord
ing to the same rule. We must not only be
particular to give q remedy intended to
counterfeit the cause which produces the
headache, but we must also give remedy
to relieve the pain until the cause Of the
trouble has been removed. To answer this
purpose, anti-kamnia tablets will be found
most convenient and satisfactory remedy.
One tablet every one to three hours gives
comfort and rest In the most severe cases
OF headache, neuralgia and particularly the
headaches Of women"
When we hsye patfept subject to regular
attacks OF sickheadache, we should caution
him to keep his bowels regular, for which
nothing is better than "Actoids," and when
he feels the least sign OF an oncoming at
tack. he should take two AK Tablets. Such
patients should always be instructed to
carry few anti-kamnia tablets, SO as to
have themsready for instant use. These
tablets are prompt in action and can be
depended on to produce relief In a very
few minutes. Ask FOX AK Tablets.
Anti-kamnia tablets at all druggists.

Hughes Is Popular
With Missouri Men

James A. Werwinski and A. R.
Macdonald, both of South Bend, Ind,
touring several states for the national
republican committee, came to Omaha
yesterday afternoon, and went out
again shortly after 6 o'clock on a call
from the national committee.
They are working among the Polish
voters. They have been over Missouri
and found there, among the laboring
people, strong sentiment for
Hughes, according to Werwinski. He
said the sentiment in Nebraska seemed
more divided, but that it was swing
ing more and more for Hughes.
Mr.. Werwinski said the voters were
not at all satisfied with the full din

give the democratic party credit for

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat

acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzec

them, like you relieve your bowels

Tired Husbands Find
Jobs Under Pressure
OF Nonsupport Law

Chicago, Nov. 1.-Two thousand
husbands in Chicago, who, a year ago,
were too tired or too il to work, have
gone out and got jobs Stree the pas
sage of the non-support act by the last
legislature. Statistics in the munich
pal court today showed that since the
passage of the act making husband
liable to criminal prosecution if he
failed to support his wife, there have
been 1000 fewer complaints made
than during the first ten months OF
1915. Formerly a wife had no re-
dress against shiftless husband, so
long as he did not desert her. d
The influence of the law on divorce
records was shown in the fact that nine
applications for decree this year have
Geen from persons who formerly had
aired their troubles in the court Of do
nestle relations. A year ago 4l0 di-
vorces came from the domestic court.

LODGE DISCUSSES
POSTSCRIPT AGAIN
Says Statement Characterized
as Untrue by President
Not Senator'S.
MADE BY BRECKENRIDGE

North Adams, Mass, Nov 1.-The
alleged weakening postscript to the
Lusitania note to Germany regarding
Strict accountability" was again re-
ferred to by Senator Lodge at political
meeting here tonight
The president of the United States
has denied that there was any post
script to the Lusitania note and we
are all bound, of course, to accept the
presidents denial just as he makes it,"
said Senator Lodge.
81 need hardly say" he added, that
| would not willingly bring in an I'M
founded charge against any one, high
or low, and if misled into doing so |
should be quick to retract it. The
president makes one mistake. The
statement which he characterizes as
untrue, that there was such a post
script, was not mine, but was made
by Mr.. Breckenridge, former assist
anti secretary of war, according to
the evidence of two independent wit
nesses, both gentlemen Of high char
acter, responsibility and veracity and
Mr.. Breckenridge was in position
to know, if, as he is reported to have
said, he had seen the postscript.
Bearing Nm mind the public and
the hitherto uncontroverted fact that
Mr.. Bryan had informed the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador that the strict
accountability note of May IS, meant
nothing, which fact was at once
cabled by the ambassador to Berlin,
it seemed to me that Mr.. Breckin.
ridges statements as testified to by
two independents, ought properly to
be laid before the public.
"The president, it will also be OBJ
served, says that the clause proposing
arbitration was suggested and that
after consideration he rejected it.
This suggestion rejected by the presi-
dent, covered the exact proposition
said by Mr.. Breckenridge to have been
embodied in the postscript and may
have been what Mr.. Breckenridge had
had in mind when talking to DR..
Bailey and Mr.. Jefferis about the
postscript, which was rejected with
out having been referred to the
cabinet and it may also have been
the reason for Mr.. Bryan's statement
to the Austro- Hungarian ambassador
that the note meant nothing.
II would also call your attention
to statement by Mr. Charles War
rem, Republican presidential elector
of New Jersey, who states that he
was told by member of President
Wilson's official family that the prop.
osition to arbitrate the loss of life
on the Lusitania was to be embodied
in note to Ambassador Gerard and
was not to be postscript to the
strict accountability note.

Social Glass
VS.. Kidneys

Strong drinks like beer, whiskey,
tea and coffee, irritate the kidneys
and IIhabitual use tends to weaken
them. Daily backache. with headache,
nervousness, dizzy spells and rheu-
matte condition should be taken as
warning of kidney trouble. Cut out,
or at least moderate the stimulant,
and use Doan's Kidney Pills. They are
fine for weak kidneys. Thousands
recommend them.

PREDICT COAL WILL
RISE STILL HIGHER
Prospect of Strike in Oklahoma
Regarded With Apprehen-
sion in West.
DENY CORNER ON MARKET

Kansas City, Nov. Prospect of
a general strike tomorrow in the Okla
homa coal fields was regarded with
apprehension here tonight in view of
the reported scarcity of fuel in other
parts of the country. Much Of the
coal used in the southwest comes from
the mines in Oklahoma, several OF
which already have shut down and
more than 90 per cent of which are
affected by the strike ordcs. recently
issued because of all unsettled dis
pute between operators and union
miners over the biennial wage con-
tract. The strike order was made eff
fective November |.
Only limited supply of coal was
reported tonight to be available in any
of the larger cities OF this section, In
case >of cold wave and the conse-
quent drain on the fuel on hand, deal
ers said much suffering would result.
The same shortage of cars which was
felt during the crop movement is
handicapping shipment of coal, it was
declared.
See Soft Coal $40.
Columbus, O., Nov. Coal opera
tors tonight predicted that the retail
price of bituminous coal would reach
$40 per ton in Ohio in the near future
if the present demand and the short
age of coal cars in the State service
continues.
Soft coal was bought at S. per ton
at the mines today, the highest price
since 1908, during the anthracite
strike, Jobbers were selling at from
Sc to $3.50 per ton as a result. Slack
is being sold in the mine-run class at
S. per ton.
The announcement of the operators
prediction is coincident to the orders
of Governor Willis for the Public
Utilities commission to make an in
vestigation of the coal car shortage
in the state and its effect on prices.
The railroad companies are ordered
to file report on the status of their
coal-bearing rolling stock before
Thursday.
New York, Nov l.-Coincident
with the unprecedented increase in the
price of domestic coal to $3.50 a ton
at New York, retail merchants mott
fled the public that only conservation
of the supply and limitation of de-
liveries to one ton to customer
would avert famine.
