flashes, and headaches until life was q
burden. My husband brought me bot
tie of Lydia E. Pinkham7s Vegetable
Compound and soon began to improve.
I continued it's use and am now free

GREECE BREAKS WITH
 CENTRAL POWERS
Relations With Germany, Aus tria, Bulgaria, Turkey Severed VenizelOs Takes Quick Action on Return to Power.

Athens, June 29.-The Greek gov ernment has broken diplomatic rela- tions with Germany, Austria-Hungary Bulgaria and Turkey.
 Though war has not yet been de- clared, the Greek government consid- CTS that state of war exists since it's advent to power yesterday.
 Greeces new course with regard to the war began to be shaped on June 12 with the abdication of King Con- stantine and the accession of Alexan- der, his second son, as king. The ab- dication was in effect dethronement of Constantine, whose pro-German at- titude had given the entente endless trouble and threatened not only the success of the Saloniki expedition, but its safety through the danger of back fire from a hostile Green military force
 Elptherios VeniZelos, Greece's lead ing statesman and fast friend of the entente, soon appeared as the man to take the leadership in guiding Greece back to her traditional place by the side of England, France and Servia, the last her close ally, whom she aban doned under Constantine's coercion in Cervia's hour of greatest need.
 Summoned back to the premiership by King Alexander, Venizelos quickly formed a cabinet The reactionary elements have been busted or quieted, the re-establishment of Greek consti- tutional government, virtually abol- ished by Constantine, began. That the parliament of May, 1915, which had been dissolved by Constantine, would again be summoned to meet, was later indicated, giving a legislative backing to the new executive power.

BRITISH CAPTURE ONE
 OF SUBURBS OF LENS
In Battle Fought in Thunder storm They Enter Avion-20O Prisoners and Many Guns Are Captured.

British Headquarters in France, June 29.-The fighting is more in- tense in the vicinity of Lens.
 The British made brilliant attack last night, during a blinding rain that accompanied thunder storm, on a number of the southwesterly suburbs of the great mining city, including the one known as Avion.
 All the first objectives of the at tack were gained. Nearly POO pris- oners already have been collected in the cages and more captives are re- ported orl the way back from the fight ing front. A number of machine guns also are reported taken.
 The fighting took place in and out among bits of ruined buildings, col lieries, pit derricks and the usual lit ter and paraphernalia of mining set clement, only in this case the tangle had been made greater by the shell fire of many months.
 The bombardment which preceded the attack was carried out on a fairly wide front and was of but slightly less intensity than that which has preceded some of the greater actions on the British front.
 The British captured German for ward poSitiOns on a , 000-vard front south and west of Oppy, in the Arras sector. The official statement says the British captured prisoners and machine guns. They also continue tc gain ground south of the Souchez river and have entered the town of Avion, about two miles south of Lens
