position was peculiar. The southern en- l trance of the enormous cavern, between Grotto farm and the monument com memorative of a Napoleonic victory in 1874 was held by the French. The north ern entrance was held by the Germans. The cavern was 800 feet long and 300 feet broad. Across it the Germans had built brick wall. Above, on the ridge, the French and German trenches were sepa- rated by only few yards. The French objective was to drive the Germans from the cavern and gain the observation points on the surface.
 The German trenches were won in a flank attack. While the southern en- trance was filled with gas, which pene- trated to the German section, the north ern exit was shelled and showered with machine gun bullets. The operation suc- ceeded beyond all expectations and re- suited in the capture of 317 prisoners, in- cluded number of officers. The French now hold all the dominating points on this part of the Chemin- -des-Dames.
 The prisoners came in patches with hands held high in the air and shouting: ''The war is over"
 The entire French casualties during the operation were fewer than the number of German prisoners taken, while everywhere were found evidences that the Germans suffered heavy losses in killed.

WHERE DOES ALL MONEY
IN NEW YORK COME 'FRONT.'

Frank A. Vanderlip, president of
the National City Bank of New York,
a Western mar himself, has fallen
into che New York habit of regarding
the money which accumulates in that
city as New York money. Speaking
of the governments proposed s5.000.-
100000 bond issue he says, in a tone
calculated to remind the country of
a celebrated warning by the Federal
reserve board, afterward much lex
planned" and revised: ut will take
some time to raise such an ameunt,
and there should be no attempt TO
float a $4,000, 000, 1000 loan at this time.
Seventy per cent of previous loans to
the allies has been contributed by
New York. That would indicate that
a very large portion of the 5 5000, 000,-
900 must be raised in New YORK"
Says the Christian Science Monitor:
1t might be interesting to all of the
United States lying outside of New
York city, or Manhattan island. or
the Wall Street district, if Mr.. Van
derlip would explain where New
York gets the money it lends.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inlamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the inflammation can be
reduced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.
