Danger Signal.

II the fire bell should ring would you run and stop it or go and help to put out the fire? It is much the same, way with a cough. A cough is a dan ger signal as much as a fire bell. You sfould no more try to suppress it than to stop the fire bell when it is ringing. but should cure the disease that causes the coughing. This can nearly always be done by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many have used it with the most beneficial results. It is especially valuable for the persistent cough that so often fol- lows bad colds or an attack of grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrew, Ind, writes: During the winter my hus- band takes cold easily. and coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best medicine for breaking up these attacks and you cannot get him to take any other" Obtainable every where. advr

FkENCEl RESUME
 BIG OFFENSIVE
Capture German Fortified Positions south of B&ine-Rritish Less ActiYc-New Bat.
 tie Not Ended,

New York, April 30.-Tte expected battle in the Champagne region of France. following days of acute gun preparation by the French forces which answered most shot for shot by the Germans, at last has broken. The French attacked eastward from Rheims today over a front of about miles from the south of Baine to the east of Monte Carnillet, and captured several fortived German trenches.
 Delivered at noon the offensive was swift and sharp, and at it's conclusion the French line had been driven for ward into territory previously occu' pied by the enemy to depths ranging relatively from 800 to ea0 yards. Simultaneously to the east a thrust by the French northeast of Monte Haut netted them a gain of about tWo-thlrds of mile and paced them practically astride the Moronyilliers-Nauroy road.
 That the fighting in this region has not yet been brought to conclusion is indicated by the official statement of the Paris War Office, which announces that artillery duels of violence are still going on. There also has been continuation of the great artillery ac- tivity from St Quentin to the Disc and along the Chemin Des Danes north ea1t Of Soissons.

 Little news concerning the situation along the front from Lens to St. Quen- tin. where the British for several weeks have made notable gains, has been vouchsafed in the latest official communications The London Wal Office tonight merely mentioned the re- pulse of a German attack east of Arras between Monchy Le PreuX and the Scarpe river. The Berlin communlca- tion dismisses the Arras sector with the assertion that today saw only an artillery engagement of varying inten- sity, but it goes to considerable extent into a description of the bloody fights Saturday at Oppy, which it says still remains in German hands and north of the Douai-Arras road.

OIL WELL IS CAVING IN
Shooting of Expected Find at Waldron
 Delayed by Sand.

Waldron. April 2S.-The shooting of the oil well, 12 miles from here, from which 50 gallons of oil were brought up several days ago, has been postpon- ed several days because of the threat ened caving in of the sides of the well at a depth of about 1000 feet, where stratum of loose sand was encoun- tered Casing has been ordered, and the we'll be shot as soon as it is in in place. The we'll is about 2,700 feet deep.
