GERMANS PIERCE
BRITISH LINES
BUT FAIL IN ATTEMPT TO ATTAIN
OBJECTIVE AND PAY DEARLY
IN LIVES.
Terrific sombardment on a 5o-MiIe
Front Precedes Hindenburg's Blow
Assault on Larger Scale Than Any
Made Thus Far During the War.

London. - Dispatches from The
Hague report that a local news agency
says Germany considers her relations
with Holland altered by the attitude
Of the Dutch Government toward the
Entente and the United States, and
publishes a report that the abandon
ment by the Dutch Government of the
remaining restrictive clauses in its
shipping loan terms would be regard
ed by Germany as cause for war.
London.-Armageddon crashed loose
just before dawn. Hindenburg's west
ern drive is in full swing in and near
the Cambria sector. His opening VOL
cano of S eel and flesh is being hurled
against the British on a fiftt mile
front, from the Scarpe, long since bet
ter known as THE River OF Blood"
down to Vendeui below St. Quentin.
Exactly 25 months after the Germans
began the historic battle of Verdun
the thunder of their guns deepened
into tempest of fire along the Brit
ish front in Northern France and they
began what may be the greatest battle
Of the war, struggle which may lead
to results which will shape the des-
TIMES of millions of people over COM
ing centuries. The attack was made
on a scale hitherto unknown during
this war of major offensives. Official
reports are brief, but cores \ondents
at the scene tell of the terrific storm
Of artillery fire that burst over the
lines held by Field Marshal Haig's
men.
according to Haig's statement, from
British headquarters some of the Brit
ish positions were penetrated, but the
German losses are declared to have
been exceptionally heavy. On no part
of the long front of the attack did the
Germans attain their objective, the
statement said.

IN THE SPRING

will be the great test of life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health. One OF the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in a bad state of health in
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
five months penned up within the walls
Of house, factory or Office 1t is the rea-
son for our diminished resistance-that
is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps oyer-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per.
haps once a week; such a one as you
can get at any drug store, made up Of
May-applee, jalap,, aloes, .(sugar-coated,
test of fifty years of approval-namely,
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. But for
the Spring Fever" the general rundown
condition, the lack of ambition, the
"blues," one should take q course Of
treatment every spring; such a standard
tonic as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, now to be had in tablet form in
slxty-cent walls. Watch the people go
plodding along the street. There's no
spring. no vitality. A vitalzing tonic such
as this vegetable extract Of DR.. Pierce's
gives you the power to force yourself into
action. The brain responds to the new
blood in circulation, and thus you're ready
holds you In bondage. Try it now! Don't
wait Today is the day to begin. Gain a
little pep" and laugh and live. Vim and
vitality are the natural out-pouring of q
healthy body. 1t does not spring up in a
night. Try this spring tonic, and you gain
the courage that comes with good health.

OLD RUSS ARMY OISBANDS
Is Rapidly Being Disarmed BY the
SOVIET Government, Re-
port Says.

MoscOw.-The Soviet Government
rapidly is disarming and disbanding
the old army and eliminating its in
fuence from public affairs. The Mos
COW Soviet has removed from its ex.
ecutive committee al soldier repre-
sentatives and similar action is TAX
ing place throughout Russia, as the old
army is presumably out of existence
and not entitled to representation
The new volunteer army will select
representatives in the various Sow
cts. The old soldiers are unwilling at
many places to surrender their arms
and return to work. At Petrograd
three regiments declined to be demob.
ilized, The Bolshevik red guards en-
tered the barracks, surprised the
sleeping soldiers, seized their arms
and forced them to leave the city.

LAY OUT ZONES FOR COAL
Will Apply New Method For Dis
tribution of Fuel of the
Country.

Misunderstanding districts, for
better distribution and production OF
bituminous coal of the country during
the year beginning April /, were an
nounced jointly by DR.. H. A. Garfield
Fuel Administrator, and Director Gen
eral of Railroads McAdoo. More than
score of separate zones are laid out.
They plan simple, direct scheme OF
delivering coal to the nearest consum-
ing points. They eliminate useless
hauling of thousands of miles which
the competition heretofore existing
among the coal producers made Eeces-
sary. They do away with cross-haul,
as much as possible, one of the worst
bugaboos of the Fuel Administration
and the Director General of Railroads.
BY the saving on transportation they
automatically increase production by
millions OF tons.

DUTCH SHIPS ARE SEIZED
Agreement With Little Nation Long
Had Been Sought, But Ger
mans Blocked It.

Washington.-On Hollands refusal
in face of German threats, to put into
effect her voluntary agreement for re.
storing her merchant marine to nor
NAL activity, the United States Gov
ernment requisitiOned all Dutch ships
in American waters. At the same
time Great Britain was taking over
Dutch vessels in British ports. A to
tai Of n ships, of probably 100000
tons, was added to the American
merchant marine by the requisitioning
Another 100000 tons are put into the
allied service by Great Britain's ac
ton. Most of them will be used in th=
foOdCarrying trade between the
United States and Europe. President
Wilson's proclamation taking over the
ships was issued only after word final
ly came from London that Hollands
delayed reply was rejection of the
British-American demand.
The American Government had
waited more than As hours beyond the
time when Holland had been requested
to make decision as to whether it
would carry out the original pact or
submit to requisitioning. Every effort
was made to avoid drastic action, as
transfer by agreement was sought
rather than by seizure, although the
latter is an exercise of sovereign
rights justified in international law
and practiced by all nations. 1t was
disclosed that President Wilson during
the day had been informed of the
delay in the Dutch reply with the re.
quest that he indicate whether or not
the requisitioning should proceed He
decided to await the formal reply,
which proved unacceptable, although
under other conditions it might have
served as a basis for former negotia-
tionS.
The Presidents proclamation was is
sued Immediately, authorizing the
navy to take over the vessels, which
will be equipped and operated by the
Navy Department and the Shipping
Board, the Dutch crews being supple
mented by American civilian sailors
and naval reservisis. Compensation
will be made to the owners as required
by law. In a statement outlining the
which preceded the re-
questioning, President Wilson pointed
out that the permanent agreement
with the Dutch Government had been
blocked by Germany despite the little
Kingdoms acute need of foodstuffs, for
which the agreement provided. A
agreement then was nego-
tiated to tide over the emergency and
that, too, was held up by Prussian

KAISER TURNS ON ROUMANlA
Threatens to impose Heavier Terms
Of Peace Unless Roumania
Acts Quick.

Observation-Disclosures of four
Americans at Bjohneborg, Finland
was reported to the State Department
by Ambassador Francis. The Ambas-
sador said he was trying to obtain per-
mission for them to proceed to Swe-
den. Arrival Of James G. Daley, a
secretary of the American Embassy
in Petrograd and 33 other Americans
at Harbin also was reported by Fran
els. Germany has threatened to I'm
pose still heavier terms of peace upon
Roumania unless that country agrees
to those already proposed, a delayed
telegram from Ambassador Francis
said. Field Marshal Mackensen, OF
the German army, notified the Rou-
manians of the alternative.

REWARD FOR TELLING TRUTH
Portuguese Statesman May Not Have
Been Flattered, But at Least He
Won One Vote.

Senior Costa, the Portuguese prime
minister, in eXcusing himself from max
ing speech on the ground that he was
no orator, told an amusing anecdote at
luncheon party given in his honor
during his recent visit to London. 1t
appears that when he first put up for
the Portuguese national council he
prefaced his opening address to the
electors by aIluding frankly to his
lack of Oratorical gifts. After he had
finished man pushed forward, grasp
ed his hand warmly, and said:
"SenhOr, I've been lifelong OppO-
nent of yours, but at the coming cleo
ton I shall vote for YOU"
"Thank YOU" said Costa, much graf
ified. "Nlay I ask the particular rea-
son for your change of views"
Because you are the first speaker
on either side that l have heard tell
the TRUTH" WAS the reply. "You said
when you began that you couldn't
make much of a speech, and by heaV-
ems, senior, you can't"

Washington.-The first list OF i'm
