tion of their most loved works of
art. and every day adds to it's suf-
fering.
The correspondent to-day went all
over the abandoned city and observed
the effects of the bombardment,
which has turned parts of the town
into heaps of ruins and killed fifty
two men civilians, thirty women and
five children, besides wounding six
ty-two men, forty-eight women and
nineteen children before the popula-
tion had an opportunity to evacuate
the place.
Since the Germans have been
within cannon shot of Amiens they
have hurled no fewer than $500
shells, mostly siXinch and eight
inch. into the city. Every indication
points to a systematic effort to de-
stroy the public buildings. as the
cathedral has been struck by shells
which have pierced the roof and
walls, and the object of firing in
cessantly upon the town cannot be
explained except upon the assump-
tion that 1t is carried out with the
purely barbarous idea of the de-
struction of the beautiful objects it
contains.
This follows from the fact that no
troops whatever are in the city and
that the railroad passing through it
is not in use. The cannonade gen.
orally ceases at nightfall, only to be
replaced by air raids. which occur al
most every night. Aerial torpedoes
to the number of $50 have been
launched from airplanes upon vari-
Gus parts of the city. AS most of
the shells and torpedoes are of the
incendiary type, they have caused
enormous damage. so that up to the
present 1900 houses have been de-
stroyed.
When the firemen, who gallantly
stuck to their posts, have attempted
to eXtinguish the flames, the German
gunners, seeing the glare of the fire
they had caused, have continued to
throw in shells upon the spot. while
at night the German airmen have
circled high over the blaze and
dropped more bombs.
The cathedral, which possesses the
finest Gothic nave in existence, has
so far escaped serious damage. but
any moment may see irreparable in
jury done it, as projectiles continue
to fall all around it.
The task of the authorities in get
ting the people away when they dis
covered the intentions of the Ger
mans to destroy the city was a tre-
mendous one, as the refugees from
the devastated districts had in
creased the population to 10000, all
of whom had to be removed from
danger within a few days. The ar
rangements, however, worked per-

London, May 10.-The Lloyd

GREAT OLD REMEDY
FOR SKIN DISEASES

abatement of your trouble, and
finally make you entirely well. Fifty
years ago S. S. S. was discovered
and given to suffering mankind.
During this period it has proven its
remarkable curative properties as a
blood purifier and tonic, and has re-
lieved thousands of cases of disease
caused by poor or impure blood, and
chronic or inherited blood diseases.
You can be relieved, but you must
take S. S. S. Take it If only pim-
pies appear for they denote bad
blood, and may be followed by the
sufferings from torturing skin erup-
tions. Therefore be sure. Don't
take chances. don't use lotions. Get
S. S. S. from your druggist. If yours
is a special case, write for expert
medical advice. Address Medical

buked Chancellor Bonar Law for

be found w3o would give nom
partisan judgment.
The principal point of the premier's
defense was that the disputed state
ments had been based on informa-
tion furnished by Major General
Maurice's department of the war Of
flee and that Major General Maurice
never had questioned them while he
was in daily conferences with the
cabinet. He said that General
Maurice had ceased to hold office
for good or bad reasons"

S. S. S. Clears Skin of Erup,
tions, Drives Poisons From
the System

Get it fixed in your mind that skin
eruptions, Scrofula, Eczema. burn
ing, itching skin, and all skin dis
eases are due entirely to impure and
infected blood. If the trouble was
on the outside of the skin, by sim
ply washing and keeping it clean
you could obtain relief-not even
ointments, lotions, and salves would
be necessary. Agree with us in this
belief, and your trouble can be re-
lieved-you can be entirely restored
to health. S. S. S. is a purely vege-
table treatment that you can secure
from your own druggist-it is a
blood tonic that will purify your
blood and cause most decided
