"FoHoe.r.e bjx-e the bombardment
already reported. the enemy this
morning launched a fresh attack in
strength against our i>oslt ions between
Ihe lers river an dArnientieres and the
Tpres-Cominos canal. Heavy fighting
has been taking place in this sector
throughout the day as well as on the
whole front of yesterday's attack
north of La Bassee canal.
"North of Armentieres the weight
of the enemy's assaults pressed our
troops back to the line Wytsehaete-
Messlnes Ridge and Ploegsteert.
"Bodies of German in^tntry who
had forced their way into Meulnes,
were driven out this morning by a
counter attack.
"South of Armentirese the enemy
succeeded after a prolonged struggle
In establishing himself on the left
bank of the river Lys at certain points
east of Estuires and in the neighbor-
hood of Bac St. Muur.
"This morning the enemy also
crossed the Lawe at Lcstrem, but was
counter attacked by our troops and
driven out of the village and back
across the river.
"Between Estaires and Givenchy
our positions have been maintained.
On other parts of the British front
the day again passed comparatively
quiet."

Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
That is the joyful cry of thousands
•ince Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets,
the substitute for calomel
1 Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for
17 years and calomel's old-time enemy,
discovered the formula for Olive Tablets
while treating patients for chronic con-
etipation and torpid livers.
Dr. Edwards'Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver to act
normally. They never force them to
unnatural action.
If you have a "dark brown mouth" now
and then —a bad breath — a dull, tired
feeling—sick headache-torpid liver and
are constipated, youH find quick, sure and
only pleasant results from one or two lit-
tle Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets at bedtime.
Thousands take one or two every night
' to keep right. Try them. 10c and
per box. All druggists.
a thousand Germans prisoners.
The latest German official state-
ment asserted that between Armen-
Ures and Km a ires, the Germans have
crossed the Lys river and that north
of Armentieres the British lines on
both sides of Waasten-Warneton have
been penetrated. Six thousand pris-
oners and 100 guns are claimed to
have been taken by the Germans in
the fighting between Armentieres and
I-a Bassee canal. j
The famous Vimy Bidge, won a
year ago by the Canadians, Is receiv-
ing a prodigious visitation of shells
from the German batteries. The Ca-
nadians, however, with their usual i
complacency, are awaiting an in-
fantry attack, satisfied that they
again will be nblo decisively io defeat
the enemy and hold this Important
sector.
While the battle In the north has
been in progress the fighting south of
the Somme where the Brltinh are
aligned against the Germans has been
rather subdued. Not so, however, on
Ihe sectors where the French and
Germans are disputing the occupancy
of the terrain. Furious assaults and
counter assaults have been going on
around Chiwny, the village changing
hands many times. At last accounts
the French not alone held the village
but also the nearby cemetcry.
The German submarine menace evi-
dently is growing less each week. Ac-
cording to the British admiralty's
statement the sinkings of Brltlxh
merchantmen last week by mine or
submarine consisted of four of more
than 1,600 tons and two under that
tonnage. The tolnl of the previous
week was six merchantment of the
large category and seven under that
tonnage.
Only two French merchantmen
were sent to the bottom during the
week ending April 6.

clared against Germany there have

plies," he said, "we are now building

smaller craft from 6f> to 1,215 tons
each, 794 vessels with an aggregate
tonnage of <20,217 tons.
"We are now working day and
night in government and in private j
plants on the construction of more de-
stroyers than were in all the allied
navies when war began and every j
possible facility is being created to
construct additional fighting craft
which can be effective against subma-
rine stiletto warfare of assassination
and murder."
Mr. Daniels then turmd to the ef-
forts being made to increase the mer-
chant marine, declaring that the su-
preme need of the hour is for ships
to carry milliions of soldiers to
France. He pointed out that today
