The enemy launched a vicious attack

While holding the Germans in check

The most important OF these allied
successes was the recapture or Moreuil,
10 miles north and west OF Montdidier
and only an equal distance southeast
of the vital center Of Amiens. Moreuil
was taken by British and French troops,

A Pnted Press dispatch from British headquarters, reporting
the recapture of MoreuiI and Demuin by the Germans yesterday
afternoon is the important news of the day regarding actual fighting.
1t shows a continuation Of Hindenburgs efforts to drive a wedge
between the British and French forces, which converge in this
vicinity. This is one of the encmy's major obiectives. 1t also
brings the Germans nearer to Amens and to the important Calais
Paris railway, south Of Amiens.
Eangard, one mile west Of Demuin, which the Germans had
passed in their westward thrust at the time the above mentioned
dispatch was filed, has been retaken by the French, according to the
Paris war office. This would indicate that the allies have stopped
the enemy's attack at this point and are pushing him back Oh

TWO COURSES OPEN TO HUNS.

With the French armies in the Field.
March 31.-The allies having checked
the German offensive before it's objec-
tives were attained. military officials
consider that only two possibilities are
now open to the Germans:
First, to continue the present effort.
in which cas- the battle must inevitably
become a long and gruelling struggle,
like the Somme or Ferdun.
Or, second, TO start another often
sive elsewhere, presumably in the
Champagne, where the German crow.r
princes army is stir lined UP. but
where the allies arc confident the only
result that can be obtained is the pro-
duction Of another salient like the
present one.
During the temporary lull imposed
by tho necessity OF the Germans bring
ing up heavy artillery, tho allies like
wise are completing concentrations
calculated 10 check future enemy ef-
forts.
owing to the rapid advance, the bait
tie so far has been essentially one OF
infantry combats witf< rifles. machine
guns and light field guns alone en-
gagged. Presumably, the Germans
next thrust will be supported by their
heavies, fully opposed by the allies

A Dead Stomach
Of What Tse Is It.

Thousands? yes hundreds of thou sands of people throughout America are taking the slow death treatment daily
 They are murdering their own stomach, the best friend they have. and in their sublime ignorance they think they are putting aside the laws of nature.
 This is no sensational statement: it is startling fact, the truth of which any honorable physician will not deny.
 These thousands of people are swallowing daily huge quantities of pepsin and other strong digesters made especially to digest the food in the stomach without any aid at all from the digestive membrane of the stomach.
 Mi-O-na stomach tablets relieve distressed stomach in five minutes: they do more. Taken regularly for a few weeks they build up the rUp down stomach and make it strong enough to digest it's own food. Then indiges- tion. belching, sour stomach and headache will go.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by druggists everywhere and by The Clark & Brainerd Co., who guaran- tees them,
