BRITISH NAVAL FORCE ATTACK BELGIAN PORTS

able obstacles for any concerted attack. The gradually shelving beach preents the approach of any but the lightest draft vessels. Narrow channels piercing that shallow stretch of water were extensively mined by the Germans. Shore fortifications of unusual strength add to the protection against attack from the sea.

The Importance attached by the British to the Ostend and Zebrugges bases is indicated by the report that the British have designed and constructed a special type of monitor for the sole purpose of attacking these places.

Great Value To Enemy.

The Bruges canal is about six miles lotig. running from the city of that name to the North sea at Zehrugge. This canal is of great value to the Germans because the principal base of the submarines operating from Zebrugge is at Bruges, where tnere are extensive dock and ship building yards.

Storming parties were landed on the mole from the cruiser Vindictive. The casualties to the personnel, said SirEric, were heayy iij proportion to the number engaged. An «nemy destroyer was torpedoed at JSeebriigge.

While the operation was in progress British parties were landed to distract the enemy. The officer who developed the scheme of attack was killed. ."Witti the exception of covering ships, the force employed consisted of auxiliary vessels and sijX old cruisers. Five of thjpse Cruisers, filled with concrete were used as block ships and after being run aground were, in accordance with orders, blown up and abandoned by the crews. Further communique will be issued when reports have becn received from the ships which are now returning to their bases. "No report of casualties has yet 'been received."

The explosion was attempted, apparently in much the manner that Lieut. Hobson sank the collier Merrimac in the Santiago channel in an effort to block the harbor and bottle up Cervera's fleet in June, 1898, during the Spanish-American war.

BARES HER HOPELESS LOVE.

Jean Katherine Baird, Authoress, Found. Dead In Her Room. BEAVER, Pa., April 23.—'"Yo6r arms will never be around her at night and your lips will never touch hers, but my dead lips will be there first."

These words formed part of a farewell message to a well known man, penned by Miss Jean Katherine Baird, 45 years old. widely known authoress, magazine writer, and dean of the women's department of Beaver college, who was found dead last night In her room,

A note to the dormitory matron asked that death be attributed to "heart disease." .Jliss Baird, whose home was in Renovo, came here last fall from the Lockhaven Normal school.

day's brisk fight exceeded 200 and that those of the enemy were between 300 and 400.

Fighting operations In Macedonia, although evidently not on a large scale, are quite active. British, Serbian. French and Italian troops have been engaged with the enemy on the front between Monastir and Doiran. At Veterik, the Serbians captured an important position from the Bulgarians and held it against a counter attack. The allied artillery has been firing heavily on the enemy positions.

Relations between Holland and Germany are again reported near the breaking point and the situation is said to be looked upon with anxiety in official circles in London. Rumors are current in the British capital that Holland has been served by German with a demand approaching an ultimatum. The Dutch press is becoming uneasy regarding Germany's attituds tcward the small countries.

To Renew Battle.

LONDON, April 23.—There are indi« cations of German concentrations for a renewal of the great battle on the Somme front. Field Marshal Haig reports enemy activities of this nature in the vicinity of Villers-Bretonnevix where the German wedge south of the Somme has been pushed farther toward Amiens. The enemy masses were taken under Are by the British as were similar concentrations north of tha Somme near Serre, seven miles north of Albert

The Germans are heavily bombarding the region west of Albert and the entire north side of the salient along the Lys, on the Flanders front. The Paris war office reports considerable artillery activity also in the Somme battle area.

The chief activity of the British infantry last night was north of Albert, where the defensive position was improved and sixty prisoners taken. Local fighting, in which the British had the advantage, occurred also on the Lys front, near Robecq and the neighborhood of Wytschaete in the ridge region to the northeast.

Germany expects declarations of war against her by Argentina and Urgugay, according to Berlin dispatch through Amsterdam, and the German newspapers have been told to prepare the public for such action by these republics.

reached a barrage intsasity in support of faiding parties. Regularly the Boche lines have been lit up with scores of flares, betraying the nervousness which has been produced among the enemy by such activity as he has not known on his front for weeks. The enemy has been forced to fire his guns under gas cloud and in gas masks. He has betrayed the effect of our tactics by the diminishing volume of his fire, but he has made answer to our general raiding and gas activities by projecting much tear gas against our position north of Lens.

This projection was bigger in volume than anything ever attempted by the Canadians against the enemy. Its effect was slight.

The weight of* evidence gathered from enemy sources gives every ground for belief that it must be far otherwise with the Boche. His gas is not sr, effectual and his masks are not nearly as good as ours.

To Properly Treat Obstinate Wrinkles

Particularly where wrinkles are lonK and deep, the massage devotee is apt to rub too hard and too frequently. This loosens the skin, causes muscles to «ag, a^Kravates th* wrinkled condition— just the opposite resutt from that sought.

Better than massage, or any thing else, for th* most obstinate wrinkles as well as the finest lines, is a remarkable formula which you may readily avail yourself of. as you will have no difficulty procuring the constituents from your druggist. It is this: One ounce powdered saxolite, dissolved in one-half pint witch hazel, f'.atne face, neck and hands in this. The effect is really marvelous, not only as to wrinkles. but also in cases of baggy cheeks and chin. The application is cooling Htid soothing, tending to relieve fatigue. Both the witch hazel and the saxolite arc of course, entirely harmless to the skin. Advert i semen t.
