Y.)—The British have been attacking the German' lines near Hulluch, in northern France, in an effort to recapture the trenches re- cently taken by the Germans there, but all their attempts have been re- pulsed, according to today's state- ment by the war office, In the Verdun region the French failed in attacks near Deadman’s hill and near Caillette wood French Official Statement, Paris, May 15.~The bombardment near Avocourt wood and Hill No. 304, in the Verdun section still continues according to today's official state ment, The text of the statement follows ‘South of the Somme near Ver mandovillers we delivered a coup de main which permitted us to clear the enemy from a first line trench, “In Champagne there was great ar- tillery activity on both sides in the sectors of Maisons de Champagne and the Butte D'Mesnil. An inva- sion of a German works west of Mount Tet permitted us to capture fifteen prisoners. “In the Verdun region there were bombardments in the sector of the woods of Avocourt and Hill No, 304, CASEMENT TRIED TO ENLIST IRISH HELDIN GERMANY (Continued from First Page.) ment explaining Casement's actions |in detail I'he attorney general said Casement described himself as the organizer of the Irish volunteers, andi impressed upon the Irish prisoners in Germany that everything was to be gained for Ireland by Germany's winning the war. Those prisoners who joined the brigade he was attempting to form were promised by Casement, the at- torney general asserted, that they would be sent to Berlin as guests of the German government. In the event that Germany won a sea battle he would land the brigade in Ireland to defend that country against England, and if Germany lost the war the (;er-; man government would give each man £10 to £20 and free passage to | America, | “This is the plan conceived in 1915, | said the attorney general, "by the man who in 1911 was hegging Sir Edward Grey to convey his deep appreciation to the king of the honor of knight- hood, um.'f. had just been conferred on him."” The speaker added that Casement’s offer was treated with contempt by | a vast majority of the Irish prisoners. | Casement smlft‘d and glanced toward Bailey Third Man 8till at Large. { Sir Frederick Smith told the story | of Casement's alleged machinations | in Berlin, with details of his trip by submarine to Tralee, where he landed | “Calm is reported on the rest of the front.” CASHIER ELLIOTT MAKES HIGH JUMP IN BUSINESS LIFE (Continued from Page One.) ready to sell out any bank stock that had cost them an assessment. The result was t Elliott soon acquired practically all the stock held in Sioux City and came back to De- catur a heavy stockholder in the Farmers' State hank of Decatur. To get control he cast about De- catur for someone to buy out, At last he negotiated with James Hast- ings, who was then cashier and who was ready to retire from the banking buliq 88, to buy the stock held by Hastings. 1t is said by some at Deca- tur that Hastings held out for par value on his stock and that Elliott had to pay him $100 a share for his stock. At any rate, he- acquired it, and with it control of the bank. ow he became cashier and after that the directors and the president had somewhat less to say about the management of the institution than did Mr. Elliott, Turns Neat Profits, With himself in control of a bank at Decatur, Elliott began to make good use of the experience he had gained at Rosalic as “field may e continued his negotiations, ngs and mdlnx with the Tndians, but now for himself and his own bank in- stead of merely on a commission for another institution, The profits from these dealings went into what he termed the “sun- commissions” account. He had another account also which he termed the “legitimate profit” aceount, Tt is said to have been from this account that the 50 per cent dividend was declared at the end of the first year Of his regime. At the very time that he declared this dividend, which was August 1, 1915, many loans had been made and er had been sold with the moral antee of the bank back of it, to such an extent that the stock was already impaired. It was at shis* point that he, in- creased the capital stock to $25,000, however, and thus the little bank sur- vived almost another year under his magic regime before the state board closed the doors. —————— Belgians Capture agali, Capital of erman Province a Paris, 15.—Further , May suc- ces for the Belgian expedition which has invaded German East A(rliu were lnzlounsed xii" the offi- cial statement issued today by the Belgian war department n); P{ure.

Funk, professor of therapeutics in the Chi cago College of Medicine and Sur gery and a member of the American Medical association, who took the stand in the hearing of the suit of Z T. Patten, against the American Medicine association for $100,000 damages on the charge that the as sociation branded Wine of Cardui as a noxious drug Dr. Funk said a combination of carduus beneditus and vinambur- | num prunifolum, two ingredients of Wine of Cardui, would be useful in the treatment of some conditions “which | did not involve malformation and | did not demand surgical treatment.” The alcohol in the solution he char acterized as a “negligible quantity.” Francis P. Mason, a chemical en-| gineer, called to the stand by the| plaintiff, testified that alcohol was a | necessary solvent for the drugs in Wine of Cardui. He said the potency of Wine of Cardui could not be pre served without alcohol Kodak depany Appeals the Decree of Dissolution Washington, May 16.~The Kastman Kodnk company today appealed te the supreme court from the decres of the New York federal court, trads in photographic supplies, and or dered n Aivison of Its property into separate corporations of distinot owner hip Home of Contractor Wrecked by Bomb| Chicago, May 15.~The home of Patrick Dignan, a contractor, was partially wrecked by a bomb early today, and persons living in the house were thrown from their beds and badly bruised.

Can a motor 8o flexible, so speedy, so powerful, stand up In years of road use?” So we asked Ralph Mulford to take a stock Super-Six chassis and, under official supervision, show the world its endurance, All Records Broken He took a Super AAA. officials Six stock chassis—certified by It had already been driven over 2,000 miles at speed axcesding 80 miles per hour It bad made & mile at Daytona at the rate of 102.63 milea per hour.

Yet the wear was almost nothing. | Certain it is that no man has ever built a travel- machine to compare with this car in endurance. Endurance Proved That was the last question—this ode of endur- ance. In all other ways it has long been evident that the Super-Six stands supreme. Never has a motor of this size shown anywhere near such power. Never was an engine made to match this in smoothness. Never has a stock car recorded equal performance-—in hill-climbing, quick acceleration or speed. Handsomer cars have never been shown. Finer engineering is simply unthinkable, with Howard E. Coffin at the head of this department. You are getting the car of the day when you get the Super-Six. Every man who knows the facts knows that. And, in view of our patents, rivalry is impoesible. No Need to Wait It fs patural to say, “Let us wait and see” when we meet such radical advancements. We (hink that nothing can excel in 80 many ways without falling behind in one. But not one fact about the Super-Six is left un. proved today. Not in one respect has its perform. ance been matched. Not in any way has a rival motor been made to compare with this, There s no need to wait to gst Time's verdict on the Super-8ix. The records prove the Super-Six su. preme. A half-hour's ride without those records would convince any man of the fuct. Thousands of these cars are now runping.
