The region northwest of Verdun,|a continuation of the lively artillery around Ha urt and between Bethin- court and Hill 265, is still the ~cgne of sanguinary encounters betvicen the French and the Germans. Continuing their vigorous counter- attacks on the trenches taken from them by the Germans between Bethin- court and Hill 265, the French, with the use of hand grenades, have recap- tured additional portions of their lost ground and in addition made progress in communicating trenches. Around Haucourt the Germans launched a violent atack against the| iy having prepared the | way by a heavy bombardment lasting however, | French, previou: several hours. The French, how through the use of their curtain of fire and rapid fire guns, put down the attack and forced the Germans to re- treat, leaving numerous dead on_ the engagements in the lake region south of Dvinsk, especially about Lake Na- rocz, where the Russians succeeded in occupying portions of the German trenches. The artillery on both sides also has been busy around Riga and Friedrichstadt and in East Galicia. The Austrians have recaptured from the Italians a ridge north of Monte Cristabel and in the operation made a number of prisoners and captured two machine guns. Attacks by the Italians in large force north of the Sugano val- ley were repulsed, according to Viens na. Flood conditions along the Tigris river are again hampering the British force which is endeavoring to make its way up the river to_the relief of the Eritish besieged at Kut-el-Amara.

And when the selling end fails to give proper response there is a telltale disclosure in the receipts. Negligence never pays wherever it exists, and this is as true of the advertising department of a business as anything else. It is one of the vital parts of the selling end which hastens the turn over, and the greater the circulation of an advertising medium the more value is its service. This, with the fact that it goes into the homes, where the needs originate and the buying is planned, is the reason why The Bul- letin affords exceptional opportunities for the merchant who is alive to the increase of his tusiness. Consistent use of its advertising columns means not only the holding but the development of trade, and it wel- comes nothing more than an opportunity to prove it.

The aviator, while carrying messagee, participated in a search wit ha troop of cavalry for the hiding places of a small band of Villa bandits who two days before had es- caped into a ridge of low mountains.

At 2 o'clock the firemen had conquered the flames at one point, but they were bursting through the roof over the altar. At 15 the roof of the church fell in. Rev.
