About Constipation.

Certain articles Of diet tend to
check movements Of the bowels. The
most common Of these are cheese, tea
and boiled milk. On the other hand
raw fruits, especially apples and ba-
nanas, also graham bread and whole
wheat bread promote movement of
the bowels. When the bowels are bad
~ constipated, however, the sure way
is to take one or two of Chamberlain's
Tablets Immediately after supper.

 "A hostile counter attack launched this morning against our new position northwest of MervlIe was made in considerable strength upon front of twelve hundred yards. A very heavy lombard ment preceded the enemy's ad- vance, but despite the intensity of his artillery preparation his in- fantry only succeeded in reaching our positions at two points, where they were dealt with effectively by our troops in each case.

LA TOILETTE SAYS HIS ADDRESS WAS
 PATRIOTIC EFFORT
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, May 21-The charge of the Minnesota public safety com that his speech delivered at St. Paul eight months ago was seditious and disloyal was declared baseless to- day by Senator La Toilette of Wiscon- sin, through counsel before the senate privileges and elections committee.
 Gilbert F. Roe. the senator's attor- ney, asserted that the speech was high ly patriotic and came clearly within the rights of the senator to make. He said press reports and the transcript fur nished by the Minnesota commission were garblcd.
 Tt is no doubt true that the senti ments expressed in the speech are dis pleasing to many persons and many interests" he added, but the charge that it contains anything disloyal or seditious or anything that q United States senator or, for that matter, any citizen, might not properly say, is Gro- tesquely absurd
 Win Submit Proofs
 Among the statements in the speech, the accuracy of which has been ques- toned, was one reclaring that Secre- tary Bryan had warned President Will son that the Lusitania before sailing on her last trip carried explosives and had suggested that passengers should not be allowed to sail on her. MT. Bryan has denied the statement. A brief submitted by Mir. Roe reiterated it and said if its accuracy is questioned. the senator would be glad to submit de- tailed proof of the facts.'
 No senator, the brief says, has lever been attacked and assailed by a war party and a war mad press as Senator La Toilette had been attacked, even prior to the St. Paul speech
 The hearing will be continued to- morrow.
 After submitting his brief MT. Ro, began reading the speech. stopping to discuss parts of it which have been the subject of attack.

 BACKED BY HUNS
 IN UNITED STATES
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. May 21.-Disclosure today that the government has gather cd evidence in this country of con spiracies between Irish Sim F'ein leaders and German agents to precip- itate a rebellion in Ireland, was fol- lowed by announcement that govern ment agents have uncovered similar German intrigue with other national istic groups in the United States.
 German money, it was said, has been used to finance agitation among ne- sroes and among Films, Lithuanions and other of the socalled oppressed nationaltes" which for years have had national grievances against Rus sia or other anti-Germanic allies. In most cases this propaganda has been carried on by Americans affiliated with these groups, paid from some mysterious source believed to be the German government. Except among the radical Irish agitators, however, the propaganda did not appear to make much headway.
 German Money Aids Conspiracies
 For many months. it is revealed. United States government agents have been inside the councils of the Irish in this country who plotted armed in-
 
 British rule and have discovered con- elusive evidence that German money and promises of aid stimulated the eonspiracies as a means Of diverting the British government from it's war task in France. Direct action to stop the intrigue was thought not advisable inasmuch as the government did not wish to meddle in domestic problems of the British empire, but the in- formation gathered was turned over in some cases to British representa- tives and it is understood that the re- cent arrest of a number of Irish Sim Fein leaders was prompted by evi- dence of German Irish plots discovered in this country.
 Communications With Code The story of how the intrigue in this country was discovered, it was said, if published fully, would tell of many communications brought sur reptitiously into the United States in violation of regulations. Many of these were written with invisible ink and in code and when deciphered, furnished clues leading to detection of many notifications of the plot. The men responsible for the agitation were SUD- piled with funds from deposits in banks where German representatives former ly kept their accounts; or from other mysterious sources.
 The Irish radicals in their corre- spondence referred frequently to the promise of German aid in an uprising, which was to be called for this month or next. when the Germans had ex- pccted to reach the channel ports in their big drive. The Germans then were to send arms and ammunition and possibly troops to the Irish coast to participate in the rebellion.

MASTERY OF AIR
 H0LDSHUN BACK 1. ONWESTFR0NTS
Allies Believe Germans
 Are Unable as Yet to Muster Strength to Go On Gigantic Offensive
GA. p. War Review.)

Striking viciously at the enemy at various points along the battle front; meeting each outburst of German ar tilery with thunders of cannon fire. and maintaining the mastery of the air in every sector from the North sec to the Swiss frontier, the armies of the entente allies are preventing the Teutonic armies from quietly perfect ing their preparations for coming bat tie. With the knowledge that the pass ing of each day brings new American legions to help crush the next German offensive, the allies are finding satis- faction in the fact that the Germans have as yet been unable to launch rev blow in the struggle which Berlin had expected to be the decisive one of the war.
 Allies Winning Ground
 For the most part, the Germans have shown but little of their habitual fighting spirit along the line in France. They have been thrust back in four sectors and the allies have succeeded in winning ground which will be or great importance in the future. But the Germans have counter attacked in only one instance, and this movement was carried out so slowly and with such a lack of dash that it was easily broken up before the Teutons reached the new allied positions.
 Successes Are Growing
 The attacks by the French near Locre. on the northern side of the Lys salient, and of the Australians before Amiens appear to have been more sue cessful than was at first understood Near Locre the French have not only taken strongly fortified points, but they have made secure lines on both sides of hill No. A. which they recap tured from the Germans recently. The Australians. too, have won ground which is of tactical importance along the Amens sector. They have gained higher ground which lends itself well to defensive tactics and will be valu- able when the time comes.
 French Most Active The French still seem to be the most active of the forces of the entente na- tions. They have again engaged in l raiding operations near LaSsigny, on 1 the flank of the German line as il stands since the advance toward l Amiens.
 | On the American front there has 1 been the usual lively exchange of ar 1 tllery fire, bat no infantry fighting The same is true of the situation ir ' the Italian theater.
 A report from Athens states that ! Turkish troops in Asia Minor have mutinied and that force sent to quell i the disorder has deserted. It is said l that there have been assertions from | the Turkish garrisons in towns along the Asia Minor coast.

 BERLIN, (via London) May 21. Savage fightin~ on the northern side of the Lys salient in Flanders, battlefield, is reported in the of ficial statement issued by the war office today which says strong attacks were repulsed with heavy losses at various points. The text of the statement reads:
 "kemmel was again the objec- tive of strong enemy attacks yes terday. The attacks by the enemy broke down with sanguinary losses and the defenders of Mount Rem mel have gained complete vic tory. On the front from Voorme- zele to West of Dranouvre the in fantry attacks were preceded by the most violent artillery fire, the main thrust being directed against Mount kerme and its western slope. The French troops which had been brought up to the front line advanced m several waves. Infantry and artillery fire broke down their assaults and forced them to retreat with the heaviest losses.
 Counter attacks threw the en- eny out of our crater zone at points where he had penetrated. There is still a French nest east of Locre. According to the state- ments of prisoners, British divi. sions were in readiness in the third line.
 "ln the evenng and during the night the artillery fire often in- creased to the greatest violence. Renewed enemy attacks from Locre in the evening and local advances northeast of Locre during the night were repuIsed.
 "An interior fire was directed on our battery positions and rear areas on both sides of the Lys. The firing increased intermittentIy in the evening in the neighborhood of Bocquoy and Hebuterne. south of VilIcrs- Bretonneux and the Avre.
 During the last three days fifty nine enemy machines and three captive balloons have been brought rown."
