of the Gillette and gives a superb out look over the western part of the Chemin -des-Dames and the opposite slope north of the plateau, whose hol- lows and dugouts had, during the month of April stopped the progress of the French towards Loan.
 "The ermans, who understood the necessity for holding these positions. for long time thought that they were going to be attacked, and had made on their own side most thorough prep Malmaison they had constructed for midable organization, surrounding 1t with counter scraps of masonry, dig ging tunnels of communication with other organizations and rendering 1t. as it seemed to them. impregnable.
 FORMIDABLE DEFENSES
 "Everywhere in the vicinity of the Chemin s-Dames they had erected formidable Notifications. The center of these positions was burrowed with trenches and holes which continued along the opposite slopes north of the plateau which were covered with g. net work of barbed wire. On all sides were defensive works of great solidity, held by crack troops and pierced for ma chine guns. The most important posi- ton, though not the only one, was that which had been constructed at the farm of La Royere. In addition the Germans had installed in front of the French lines a considerable number of batteries of all callibres and hastily massed their best troops.
 Thus we were able to identify in the sector of attack three of the most famous divisions of the Prussian guards and one of the Bavarian guards.
 "In spite of all the means of defense accumulated in the Aisne sector by the German command; in spite of very un- favorable weather, the French troops attained all their objectives, harvest ing rich booty of prisoners and guns"

 GERMANS LOSE GUNS
 An indication of the rapidity with which the drive has been carried out is tho total number of guns the Germans were forced to leave behind them. These amount to 12o among them several how itzers, not to mention several hundred small calibre pieces, such as minen- werfer and machine guns.
 ITALIAN FRONT
 On the 25-mile front running from Monte Romber to the Bainsizza plateau, the battle between the Austro- German forces and the Italians apparently is growing in intensity, with the Austro- Germans the aggressors, but with the Italians stubbornly resisting everywhere.
 Although the German war office as- serts that gains have been made at va- rious points along the line, ti.a Italian official communication does not concede any losses except on the east bank of the Isonoz south of Monte Rombon. To the contrary, this communication as- serts that on the Bainsizza plateau, where the Germans had announced sus- cesses and on the west slope of Mont San Gabriel, enemy attacks were re- pulsed and that the Italians even took several hundred prisoners.
 Not alone does the German war office assert that the Italian line barring the way to the valley of the Flitch basin and to Tolnino was overrun and that posi- tions also were captured on the Basn- sizza plateau, but that large quantities of booty were taken by the Austro-Ger- mans and that more than 10000 prisoners fell into their hands, including divis- ional and brigade staffs.
 FIGHTING IN FLANDERS While the operations on the Ypres sec tor of the front in Flanders continue tc be carried out mainly by the artillery with the British and French guns hurl- ing tho greater weight of metal, the Ger mans have launched another strong forest, where the British and French ar mics have joined hands. Again this at tack met with repulsc.

 The great German headquarters had hoped after the incomplete success of the preceding French operations along this line in the spring, that the French army would not be in a condition to resume the offensive for the rest of the year, 1917. It remained for the com- manderin- -chief of the French army to show them their error. This demon stration has just been made in the bril- liant operations of October 23, which must not be separated from the preced- ing ones which gained so greatly in Flanders and on the banks of the Mouse.

rung, I'VE are likely to become too
SOBER too serious. Base ball gives us
something to ease and tighten our
minds and forget our troubles for a
few hours"
The Western league president has
visited Joplin, St. Joseph and Wich-
tia already this spring. He says he
found the enthusiasm at fever pitch i'll
all three towns.

The surrounding towns which con-
meet with Joplin by trolley car are
just as enthusiastic, and | expect to
see the Missouri town one of the best
in the league"

into its own with the return OF Frank
Isbell. Wichita is crazy about
Frank" he said. Hes almost king

Almost Every Human Ailment Is
Directly Traceable to Impuri-
ties in the Blood.

You cannot overestimate the i'm
portance of keeping the blood free
of impurities. When you realize that
the heart is constantly pumping this
vital fluid to all parts of the body, you
can easily see that any impurity in
the blood will cause serious compli-
cations.
Any slight disorder or impurity that
creeps into the blood is a source of
danger, for every vital organ of the
body depends upon the blood supply
to properly perform its functions.
Many painful and dangerous dis
eases are the direct result OF a bad
condition of the blood. Among the
most serious are Rheumatism, with it's
