 Out to Local Boards

Montgomery, April 1s.-(SpeciaL)
 Forms for the making of requests for
 furloughs of soldiers who are needed in
 agricultural work in Alabama were sent
 to the local boards by the state military
 department Saturday. Inclosed with the
 forms was general order of the war de-
 partment giving. the provisions for the furloughng of soldiers when needed in farm work, provided their absence will not interfere with the training of the unit to which they are attached, and provided the unit has not already been l ordered to proceed to a port of embark aton.
 The person needing a soldier for farm ] work may request a furlough through the I local board or the soldier desiring a l furough may make the request. If a farmer needs several soldiers for farm
 work, he may file an application en bloc, showing how many soldiers are needed
 and showing that he is able and willing to pay the soldiers the regular wages paid other persons for farm work. l No enlisted man having rank above first sergeant will be granted furlough under these provisions, and any person whose absence will interfere with mili- tary training may be refused a furlough.
 The latter provision is intended to pre- vent the taking away of trained non- | commissioned officers whose positions cannot be easily filled.

HUN LOSSES HEAVY

The German casualties yesterday and last night were very heavy They can hardly be avoided in following out the method of massed attack being employed by the enemy, who must be given credit for showing great dis cipline and sticking powers in the face of terrific punishment from machine guns and artillery.
 Yesterday afternoon a heavy attack north of Lacon forced the British to s,.ve some ground. Again last night at o'clock the Germans surged forward east of Lacon and succeeded in pene- trating the British lines. Hard fight ing followed and the enemy wa5 finally driven back
 Not satisfied with this. the Germans attacked again in the same place and once more the assault was smashed. Another attack southwest of Le Satt also was repulsed. Robecq, southwest i of Merville, was the scene of heavy fighting last night and this morning
 the place appeared to be sti1l bat ] tie ground which neither side could :, claim. North of here the British had
 cjung to St. Floris. to which the Ger
 mans were trying to drive in order
 to reach Aire. Merville was strongly
 held by the enemy this morning. 1 In the fighting about BailIeul last
 night the Germans succeeded in pene- ! trating Merris and after a hot figh,
 at close quarters the enemy was pushed out and held off in the out ! skirts of the place.
 The whole southern part of Bailleu
 broke into flames last night and
 burned fiercely, the glow of the fire
 Delng visible against the clouds fol , miles across the low lying country
 La Greene was again in British hands
 this morning, this place representing
 part of the result of last nights counter attacks between Bailleul and
 Neuve Eglise. North of Eglise there

What would you say it is? What would be your definition of the big gest little thing on earth? If you have ever been sufferer from a se- ries of nasty boils, the plain every day kind or a stubborn carbuncle. it's dollars to doughnuts one of them would comprise your answer. Was ever anything more annoying or more painful? If you have had the experience you will agree that nothing can quite equal them for downright cussedness. Job is said to have been cursed with boils, and perhaps with carbuncles, and that he remained a good fellow through 1t all has caused the world to appre- ciAte his patience.
 Boils and carbuncles are very common and distressing ailment and are the direct result of chronic blood impurities. Many other forms of eruptions. itching sores and ecze- mas are caused by the same condi- ton. But those afflicted can easily be rid of these troubles if they will only practice interior as we'll as ex- terior cleanliness. In other words cleanse the entire system and purify the blood with course of the great tonic and alterative Pal-Co-Tox. Un-

EARLIER STORY OF FIGHT

With the British Army in France, April lS.-Between Bailleul and Neuve Eglse the British assumed the offensive during the night, and after bitter fight ing, pushed the German lines back con- siderably. Neuve Eglise itself has been the center of sansuinary struggle
 The enemy last night drove forward here and captured the village, but a counter attack early today brought It back into British hands, A heavy en- gagement was in progress here this fore noon and at least four German attacks were repulsed.
 SOUTHERN BATTLE FRONT
 The northern end of the battle front
 naturally continued to be the center or
 interest. but on the south the combined British and French operations last night rave the enemy a hard knock. Han gard was recaptured in a dashing drive bv the allied troops and a footing was gained in a copse just north of this
 place.
 In the north the enemy is making des- perate efforts to get the domination ol the railway, so that troops, guns ana supplies can be rushed forward The whole trend of the operations yes terday and last night was aimed at the capture of Bailleul, Hazebrouck, Mor- becaue Steenbecque and Aire, all oi which are important railway towns. The ground east of this sector is very low and wet and is unfavorable for the 1 rapid movement of heavy guns. Work on l the Armentieres- Bailleul railway has
 been rushed greatly by the enemy since the occupation of the former town and artillery is being moved forward as rapidly as possible.
