BABY'S CRIES HIS
PRIVATECABARET
Woke Youngster in Middle
of Night For Enter
tainment

New York, April 11.-'Tn the days of
Old" celebrated by minor and major
poets, the youth who contemplated
plunging over the precipice of matri-
mony was warned, admonished and
threatened, in pictures. poems and "hu-
morous" essays depicting the horrors
of waking up in the middle of the
night to make a futile attempt to quelI
the screams of his future offspring.
1t is not recorded that any of these
well-meant efforts served the purpose.
They will do II but the utilization of q
baby's lamentations at night as sort
of private cabaret was left to Barnett
Cahane, an inventor. according to his
wife, Mrs. Johanna Cahane, who de-
scribes herself as a violinist, and who
lives at 81 West 115th street with her
seven-year- son.
Mrs. Cahane is seeking an annul-
ment of her marriage. She charges
that her husband was eccentric. Jus
tice Finch. of the Supreme Court, has
reserved decision She testified:
MY husband was so eccentric that
he would wake the baby in the middle
of the night just to hear him cry"
She continued:
Immediately after our marriage L
found he was peculiar. We came from
the clergymans house and Mr.. Cahane
turned to the driver and said: Now
drive us to the cemetery
But he laughed when he said that,
did he not?" asked Justice Finch.
mo, sir. He said 1t in all serious
ness, and that is one of the reasons
I began to think him eccentric"
Mr.. Cahane liked to hear both his
wife and baby cry, Mrs. Cahane said.

children to cry-that 1t sounded we'll

Purify Your Blood and
Put Yourself in
Good Shape

The necessity of being prepared
for any emergency is being for
chilly impressed upon each and
every individual. First and fore
most is the Importance of having
sound physical body, of keeping
yourself in prime condition al
ways, so as to be at all times
equipped to fight an enemy that
is ever threatening - the enemy
of I'll Health.
This means that every assist
ance must be given to nature in
her effort to combat disease and
keep the system in proper condi-
ton. And right now, as Spring
approaches, nature needs more
help than ever, for the system
needs a thorough housekeeping
to get rid of the accumulated inn
purities and thus avoid the dang
erous fevers that are so prevalent
in Spring and Summer.
You have doubtless felt the
need of a good tonic, though you
may not have recognized the call
that nature was making in the
form of loss of appetite, lassitude,
energy gone, and general good
for-nothing" feeling that pervades
your whole body. Such symp-
toms mean that the blood has be-
come sluggish, that the accumu-
lated impurities are clogging the
circulation, and that a general im-
pairment of your health is immi-
nent unless the proper corrective
steps are promptly taken.
There is absolutely no neces-
sity for permitting the change of
seasons to cause this rundown
condition of your system, for
there is a remedy easily within

BRITISH ATTACK
AMAZES GERMANS
Hindenburg's Line Fails to
Hold Before Smashing
Advance
By Associated Press

From a Staff Correspondent of the
Associated Press With the British
Armies in France, via London, April
II. - The British sweep east of Arras
has turned the northern pivot of the
famous Hindenburg line and large
forces of British troops are pressing
far beyond the top of that German
barrier, which was prepared after end
less months of labor.
The manner in which the British
have advanced over scores of German
trenches, which the Germans must
have believed would protect them in.
definitely, has been little short of
miraculous. The Germans themselves
have been amazed at the audacity of
the invaders and have surrendered
with an air of complete mystification.
The success of the attack launched
yesterday against some of the strong
est sections of the German lines of the
entire western front seems to prove
the fact that the artillery has finally
solved the problem of entrenched war
fare. 1t has taken months and years
of preparation, but when the guns
were finally massed against the Ger
man front they hammered it into SUBJ
mission.
1t was this hammering that demor-
allied the German lines on the Somme
during the winter and brought about
the recent retirement of the Hinden-
burg line stretching from Arras south
eastward to st. Quentin. Now, the top
of this line has been crossed and 1t is
being attacked along the entire dis
tance. The meaning of the airplano
activity last week, when the British
fiiers deliberately set out to clear the
air of Germans. has been revealed in
the new attacks.
Covered by Airmen
To-day the intrepid airmen were
covering the advance everywhere,
keeping the troops advised of enemy
movements and enabling the British
artillery to shell every area where
concentrations appeared to be taking
place. The day was anything but
ideal for flying. 1t was blustery from
sunrise to sunset and furious snow
squalls were in the air at half hour
intervals. During these the machines
were completely submerged by the
snow barrage.
The Canadians triumphantly an
nounce that the famed Vimy ridge
had been cleared of all Germans.
Vimy ridge has been a historic battle
ground in this war. The country on
both sides is dotted with graveyards,
in which lie tens of thousands OF
French and German soldiers who gave
up their lives in the fight either to take
or to hold this imposing position. The
British. too. have tasted of the bitter.
ness of the battles there and the Can
adams had been holding on to a slen-
der position on the western slope all
winter only by the display of most
tenacious courage.

6-Year-Old Boy Is
