along the Vesle river today was the
liveliest in several days.
The Germans shortly after midnight
opened with a bombardment which
continued for hours. They used more
gas than at any time in more than a
week. The big guns of the French
and Americans answered v1ciouslXs

heights just north of the Vesle, clear

Huns Bring Up Supplies.
Traffic across the Aisne in the last
few days has been much heavier than
usual, according to observers. 1t con-
sists largely of ammunition trucks
headed south and is accepted as indi-
eating that the enemy has determined
to hold the present lines indefinitely.
German bombing planes in great
numbers tried to drop explosives on
the French and Americans along the
Vesle early this morning, but were
driven off by anti-aircraft fire.
They then slipped around the bat
peatedly attacking places where they
believed troops were quartered. Their
aim was poor. however. owing to the
fact that it was still dark.

were increased considera bly, shortly
after the opening OF the allied often

In the same period British bombing
squadrons continually attacked enemy

objectives. dropping more than 320
tons of bombs and causing great
damage. Low flying scout machines
raked the enemy's congested roads of
retreat with machine gun fire, inf1ict-
ing many casualties.
A notable feature of the aerial
operations was the virtually continu-
Gus night and day bombing of the
enemy bridges over the Somme. This
greatly hampered the supply and re-
enforcement of the German troops.

PLAIN QUESTIONS TO
CAMBRIDGE PEOPLE
Every Cambridge Reader Will Admit
The SoundnesS of The Logic.

Would Cambridge people recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills as they do
if the medicine were not reliable?
Would they confirm their statements
after years have elapsed if their ex-
periences did not show the remedy
to be deserving of it? Statements
like the following must carry con-
viction to the mind of every reader:
Mrs. Roland H. Bassett, SIG Hen
ry ST., Cambridge, says: about a
year ago l began to suffer from a
dreadful aching across my back. l
couldn't keep MY housework up. 1
had always had more or less paining
across ray back and kidneys, especi-
ally after catching a cold or exert
something for my kidneys. l used
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at
Bradshaw's Pharmacy, and they did
me much good. Statement given
December 2, 1908.
On August 2, 1916, Mrs. Bassett
said: II can still recommend Do
ans Kidney Pills. When 1 feel an
attack coming on me, always take
them and get the best of results"
