number of wagon trains and small groups of Germans were aeea walking behind the enemy lines. "Airplanes Are AetivC '.V.,

Several times during the day the air was crowded with airplanes and one occasion several enemy machines were overhead at the same time. Airplanes from the rear of eur lines carrying Amerldb.]} observers maneuvered to get into a fight with the enemy machines, but they were unsuccessful. American anti aircraft drove off a number of er.emy machines and kept the others high in the air.

American observers succeeded in accomplishing much work which the recent ground haze had prevented. They obtained badly wanted photographs and observed certain things back of the German lines.

American troops in the Luneville sector have been subjected to fairly heavy bombardments during the past twenty-four hours, but have given as much as received. Patrols at two points established contact with the enemy last night and early this morning. After brief firing, the Germans retired.

American soldiers are still holding the Mecklenburg trench, taken two days ago and which it is now permitted to name. The antl-aircraft guns east of Lunevflle were extremely busy today in driving off enemy airplanes..

lantic. s I V" The nature of the information upon which the opinion is based is not disclosed. It is noted that fresh German divisions have arrived on the western front and the German lines are said to be approaching the point in density beyond which it will be impossible to go without choking the American lines and hampering free movement of reserve*.

Much of tfte ^afeTteh't !g derdtea! to the activities of American troops now engaged on five separate fronts, one of the sectors lying close to the Swiss border. The official communique, however, adds hothing to recently published press reports of the raids and trench fighting in which. ths 44»erici*ps have been involved*

Elsewhere on the western fronts find no evidence of impending major activities by either side. The period of inactivity, the statement says, is being prolonged. It notes, however, indications of Austro-German cencentrations in the Italian theatre which may forecast assaults on ,V«ron& et Brescia, as their objectives.

Official War Statement.' The statement follows:

"The period of inactivity la the •west is being prolonged.

"Though the raids now taking place! would. In the past, have been sonsldered important engagements, nevertheless, owing to the fact that they are merely of minor ttlpt.ical value, they oannot be held to be major operations. "While hostile preparations for an offensive in the west are not slackening, it is becoming more evident that the enemy will launch this offensive only 1^ compelled to do so by the exigencies of the general situation. "While fresh German divisions are reported as arriving In the west it is important to note that the density of enemy forces lias nearly reached a point beyond which it will be impracticable to go, for should any large additional body of men te massed, the chances are that the congestion of the lines of communication will become so great as to make it impossible to maintain the flexibility of maneuver vhlch is so essential. "Our own forces in France have been constantly in action. "Our troops are now ilk the tranches at five different points* "This week we undertook our first assault against German positions unassisted by any allied contingent. "At dawn on March 11, after a preliminary bombardment, lasting three quarters of an hour, we drove a highly successful raid against a German trench segment. Our men penetrated the German line to a depth of 300 yards. The enemy was driven off after a hahd-to-hand fight, whereupon our contingent returned to our lines# "At three places-in Liorraine American troops, acting in co-operation with small French detachments, raided German trenches. Two of these operations were carried out simultaneously, each on a frontage of some 600 yards. After a prolonged bombardment, the attacking units were able to reach their objectives. Few of the enemy were found in the first line trenches and the attalckers swept forward into the German second line. Our men remained for nearly an hoiir In the German positions and returned after inflicting much damage and capturing u^oaiderable quantities of material."

KEEP LONG YOUNG

It's Easy—If You Know Dr.

Edwards' Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping rming is to fed young to do this you must watch your liver and bowels there's no need of having a sallow complexion dark, rings under your eyes pimples a bilious look in your face dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver.

Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to hi3 patients for years.

Dr. Edwards' Oiive Tablets, the substitute for calomel, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clear* ing the system of impurities.
