Thousands of people suffer from

even the most stubborn, advanced
cases and thousands of former Asth-

with wonderful success.

gists everywhere, who sell il on a

obliged to sit up in bed gasping for
breath and unable to sleep report that
they now take dose of OXidaze when
going to bed and can then lie down
and breathe easily and naturally and
get a good nights restful sleep.

ALLIES DECLINE PEACE
OFFER OF THE VATICAN

OF the peace proposals made
in 1917. the two of most import
10 the allies were those of Pope
Benedict. made in August. and
OF the bolsheviki government Of
Russia. made in November.
on Aug. Il. the pope sent 10
all of the belligerent and neu-
trail governments peace pro-
pOsals suggesting the restora-
tion of Belgium. Servia and
Roumania and a peaceful solu-
ton OF the problems OF Alsace-
Lorraine. Trent, Triests and
Poland. Pres't Wilson replied
first i'm behalf OF the United
States. calling attention 10 his
holiness that peace negotiations
could not be entered into with
the present government OF
Germany because that govern
ment could not be trusted. The
allies made this the answer of
all Of the entente.
In November. the bolsheviki
government of Russia proposed
an armistice with the Teutonic
allies in which 10 negotiate to-
Wa I'd peace. A temporary ar
mistice was finally put into eff
feet in which 10 allow negotia-
tors TO make arrangements for
a longer armistice looking to-
ward peace.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1917-12-30

While the allies have suffered re-
verses on other fronts. the year
1917 in France and Belgium has
been more than ENCOURAGING TO the
enemies OF Germany. Early in the
year Gen. Haig's policy of attrition
brought about the great retreat of
the TeutonS 10 the 'Hinienburs
line" in which thousands of square
miles OF French territory were sur
rendered and many hundreds of
towns and villages recaptured.
Outstanding features of 1917 on
the western front are the linden
burg retreat Ito victory" the ar
rival OF American troops in the
trenches at France, the marvellous
surprise attack by the forces Of the
English Gen. Byng, in which no ar
tillery preparation took place and
in which tanks played a large
part and the failure of a renewed
German drive on Verdun and a
new German drive against Calais,
the French channel port.
Every indication leads TO the
conclusion that the allies have the
=
fact that in the latter part of the
year they were compelled TO send
heavy reinforcements to the dis
treSsed Italians the allies were still
able TO hold the offensive in France
and Belgium. The much-heralded
"Hindenburg line" has been proved
not to be impregnable by any means
having been broken at several
points at different times. No Ger
man action of any note took place
at any time during the year on the
western front.
The month Of January, 1917, saw
only minor operations in France.
February marked the beginning OF
the great German strategic re-
treat" with further evidence OF
German military "friShtfulness" in
the deportation of civilians, the de-
struction OF all objects in the sur
rendered territory, even to the cut
ting down of fruit trees. The Hin
denburg retirement extended over
into March. Evidence of the
strength of the allies was given
when. just as the retreating Ger
mans reached their prepared line
Gen. Haig commenced an offensive
in the Arras sector, followed short
~ after by a strong offensive by
Gen. Nivelle in the vicinity of the
Aisne.
