oFFENSE CONTINUES

Notwithstanding this repulse
and the failures of the past sew
eral days, the Germans are con-
tinuing on the offensive along
practically the whole of the west
ern front, carrying on an intense
bombardment of the British and
French lines.
Daily reinforcements of men
and guns are pouring into the
German positions, drawn mainly
from Russia, and these fresh
troops are being used to keep up
a constant pressure upon the men
OF the entente. The plan of the
German general staff to retain
the offensive if possible along the
western line, in the hope Of secur-.
ing some decided advantage, is
evident. .....
Another bloody failure for
Teutonic arms is reported in the
dispatches from Rome, which.
record the repulse OF the Aus
TRANS to break through on the.
Lower Piave front, where they
had been attacking since Tuesday
morning. &c..

Plan To Officer All Merchantmen

original plan. ...,.... -
With the present feet of mer-
chantmen engaged in Atlantic

forward it has been found imprac-
tical to undertake supplying both

this would be in combating the

SERVICE ARRANGED ; ..
Under the revised plan officers
from the reserve are to be in com
mand OF all troop ships first, all
ships engaged in the transporta-
ton of war munitions and all that
are engaged in carrying supplies
to the armies at the front. Thus
is separated the actual govern

ness Of carrying supplies to the
allies and carrying on the ordi-
nary commerce between the Uni
ted States and its allies and with
such neutral nations as may con-
tinue to receive important exports
from the United States.
IMMEDIATE CHANGES
The new arrangement, while it
will ultimately relieve the situa-
ton in some ways will produce
problems that must meet solu-
ton as the merchant feet grows.
1t means at the present time and .

vancing in wave after wave of
massed infantry the Germans
yesterday attempted by sheer
force OF numbers to overwhelm
British troops holding the elbow
OF the British line where it turns
towards the north between Bulle-
court and Queant, the blow being
struck at a point some ten miles
west Of Cambria. The effort prov
ed to be a CHASTITY failure, the
Germans being unable to face the
sleet of bullets poured into them
and in no instance reaching closer.
to the British trenches than FIVE.
hundred yards. y
The attack was made by Bava-
rian regiments, regarded as the
best on the western front, and
was preceded by a concentrated
artillery bombardment of the Bri-
fish positions. 1t was launched
at dawn and maintained through
out the greater part of the morn
ing, the Bavarians reforming af-
ter each repulse and returning to
the attack. ... i
General Haig officially reports
that the attempt Of Crown Prince
Rupprecht was a complete failure,
the Germans being compelled to
retire from the field and leave
their dead and wounded behind.
The Britis h opposition was
staunch and the fire of the rifle
men and machine gunners was
maintained SO steadily that moth
ing could face it. The men in the
front line trenches were material
ly helped in checking the assault
by the fire of the British artil-
lerynen, thousands of shells
bursting over and in the Bava-
rian, ranks, carrying death to very
many. !

No Wonder Ao WouIdn't Sell,


 Captain Ammdsen told an amusing story of one of his arctic expeditions. Several of his dogs having died, Cap tain Ammdsen asked one of the na- tives In his hest Eskimo If he would sell. him a few dogs. To his surprise the request was promptly refused. The explorer and the Eskimo had long argument, the explorer pointing out that he must get dogs somehow and the Eskimo replying that they never sold them.
 "Nonsenser' Captain Amundsen ex- claimed. 'T have often bought dogs"
 The Eskimos seemed immensely as- tonished, and at the end of another ar, gument Captain Amundsen discovered that instead of using the Eskimo werd for "dogs" he had been asking the man to sell him some children"

Doan's Kidney Pills have done splendid work.

 F. A. Sutton, tents and awnings dealer, 396 Hoyt St., salem, Ore, says: "I had kidney trouble and rheumatic twinges ten years or more. My back gave me a great deal of bother and sharp paines ex- tended all through my body. l was all run down, lost weight and was in poor health. Doan's Kid ney Pills made me feel like 8 diff ferent man. My appetite improved and the aching and pains left me-" Statement given Jan. S1, 1906).

In addition to drilling and fight ing as a members of a squad, com- pany. regiment or other team" of the Army, you will have cer- tain important duties as an indiv- idual soldier. These duties call for A higher grade of intelligence and selr-relianoe and throw on you greater personal responsibility.
 Probably your simplest individual duty will be that of an interior guard. interior guards are used in camp or police regulations. Y" y(ManuaI of Interior Guard dutys par, 3.)
 Personal Responsibility
 Guard duty is especially reeom- mended as "of Talue in discipline and training, because of the direct individual responsibility which is i'm posed and required to be disehaTg- ed in a definite and precise man ner." CManual of Interior Guard Du ty, par. s.
 Duties Of Orderifes
 Members of the guard may be as- signed to duty as orderlies to the commanding officer or to other of- ficers. For thsee positions the soldiers will be chosen who ara most correct in the performance of Iuty in military bearing. neatest lR person and clothing, and whose arms and accouterments are in the pest condition" It is decidedly 8 compliment to any soldier to ba designated to serve as an orderly.
 Scouting
 One oe the most responsible du- ties to which soldier may be as- signed is patroling or scouting. An Infantry patrol usually consists of from 8 to 16 men. lit is sent out for the purpose of obtaining infor- nation as to the enemy, his num- bers, and the nature Of the coun- try over which the patrol travels. It is not usually intended that the patrol should fight, since its prime purpose is to obtain and bring back information. However, it may be forced to fight, if discovered, ill order to protect the escape of at least enc of it's members with a report os the information secured.
