BRITISH TAKE BACK TRUES LOSTJN FIGHT On . La Basse Front Germans Lose Lives After English Soldiers Make Hard Attack.

ARTILLERY IS ACTIVE

In Belgium Teuton Guns Direct Heavy Fire Against Positions of King Albert's Troops. BY FRANKLIN P. MERRICK

Stiff Correspondent The International

Newsservice. PARIS, Feb. 2 The tide of battle on the La Bassee front, in northern Vtance haa swung in favor of the British after a terrific engagement. The official statement issued by the war office this afternoon stated that the

Germans launched a fierce assault

against the British lines at Ouinchy, near La Bassee, but the British rallied and in counter attacks toot only regained all the ground they had lost, but took some German trenches in addition. Heavy French artillery is bombarding the railway station at Noyon, where the Germans were carrying out commissary work. In West Flanders German artillery has been carrying on a severe cannonade against Belgian works. Text of Statement. The official statement follows: "The day of February 1 was marked by an increase of the intensity of the artillery duels on both sides. "It was also noticeable by a series of German attacks of secondary importance, which were all repulsed with heavy losses to the enemy In proportion to the forces engaged. "In Belgium, the Germans heavy artillery has shown a great deal of activity upon the whole front occupied by the Belgian troops, and especially against the several pints of support which they, the Belgians, had captured some time ago. "In the region of the Yser around Vpres, very violent cannonading has taken place. British Come Back. "From the Lys to the Somme, a German regiment attacked an English post near Guinchy and succeeded in throwing back the English, but the British by a series of counter attacks, re-occupied the ground lost and then made some progress, capturing some of the enemy's trenches.

"The action referred to in the statement of February 1, 11 p. m., as having taken place along the road from Bethune to La Basses, was particularly brilliant for our infantry. The number of troops employed by the Ger

mans In this fighting seems to have been at least a battalion. The two

opening attacks were checked by our

tire; the counter attack made iiumeck'

ately with bayonets, permitted us to repulse the enemy. Some Germans alone succeeded in regaining their trenches. All the others were killed

or made prisoners.

"Between the Somme and the Oise and along the front of the Aisne no important event lias taken place with

the exception of the German attack

made upon Beaumont-Hamel, whicn

was not renewed."

WALTZ RAILROAD BILL GETS SUPPORT OF CITIES Rural Districts Fight Increase of One-half Cent Rate, Claiming Benefits Only Railroads Many Civic Organizations Vote in Favor of Measure House Committee Studies Reports. v

BY LEASED WIRE. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2. Although

the Waltz railroad bill providing for an increase of one-half cent in passen

ger rates in Indiana, has not been considered at any meeting of the house committee on railroads, the individual members of the committee are being besieged by friends and opponents of the measure. The majority of letters received by the committeemen favor the bill. The greatest opposition is being found in rural districts, where the opinion prevails that the railroads are already getting enough revenue for carrying passengers. Representative Waltz is preparing statistics to pit against statements that the railroads desire the increase in order to pay dividends on generously watered stock. Cities Support Roads. In thirty-two cities in Indiana civic organizations have adopted resolutions in favor of the bill. Among the cities are Richmond, Hammond, Gary, Logansport. Indiana Harbor, Whiting, Anderson, Crown Point, Laporte, Warsaw, Hartford and Madison. Public meetings are being planned in practically every city and town in the state

to consider the proposed fare Increase. The house committee will not make any report on the bill, although it la known that a majority of the members favor its passage, until after a house hearing has been held. In the senate this morning Senator Van Nuys offered his proposed bill providing for a nine-hour working day for women workers in Indiana. Te Van Nuys measure was drawn by Mrs. R. E. Miller of the commission appointed by the governor to investigate womens' working conditions, provides for a half-holiday a week. Representative Rule's abatement bill

making owners of houses used for immoral purposes guilty of a misdemean

or, was reported favorably in the house today.

Minority Leader Eschbach's measure on the licensing of motor vehicles, making fees payable to the country treasurer instead of the state was reported favorably. A favorable report was also made on Representative Hagerty's bill providing that persons convicted six times of drunkenness may be sentenced to the state penitentiary or women's prison.

BROHHERIIOOD PLANS FEAST EACH MONTH

The natural wit and humor of the "Canny Scot," was depicted by the Rev. Mr. Scott Hershey, In his talk on "Scottish Wit and Humor," at the monthly banquet of the Men's Club of the First Presbyterian church last night. The Rev. Mr. Hershey spoke from an intimate acquaintance with representatives of this race which he described as being of unusually keen intellect, quick to see the humorous side of any Question, able to turn this ability to an advantage in advancing an argument. It is probable that these banquets will be made monthly features of the club, following a custom inaugurated last winter. The meetings are popular

because they allow the men an oppor

tunity to met socially. H. A. Dill is president of the club this year.

TO CURE CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HEAD NOISES Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness and head noises will be glad to know that this distressing afliction can usually be successfully treated at home by an internal medicine that in many instances has effected a complete cure after other treatments have failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear a watch tick tell how they have had their hearing restored to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven or eight inches away from their ear. Therefore, if you know of some one who is troubled with head noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out this forula and hand It to them and you will have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. The prescription can be prepared at home and is made as follows: Secure from your druggist 1 oz. Parmint (Double Strength), about 75c worth. Take this home, and add to it M pint of hot water and 1 oz. of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times a day. Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and swelling of the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are nearly always quick and effective. Every person who has catarrh in any form should give this recipe a trial and free themselves from this destructive disease. Adv.

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR FREE FROM DANDRUFF

Girls! Get It! Your hair gets soft, fluffy and luxuriant at once.

If you care for heavy hair, that glistents with beauty and is radiant with life; has an incomparable softness and is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine. Just one application doubles the beauty of your hair, besides it immediately dissolves every particle of dandruff. This destructive scurf robs the hair of its lustre, its strength and its very life, and if not overcome it produces a feverishness and itching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen and die; then the hair falls out fast. If your hair has been neglected and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily, get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine at any drug store or toilet counter; apply a little as directed and ten minutes after you will say this was the best investment you ever made. We sincerely believe, regardless of everything else advertised, that if you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair and lots of it no dandruff no Itching scalp and no more falling hair you must use Knowlton's Danderine. If eventually why not now? Adv.

TEUTON SHELLS FIRE

THANN IN ALSACE French Evacuate City and Artillery Duels Rage Along Front.

Inmate's Hair Turns Gray at 111; Searches Attendants For Candy

TBY LEASED WIRE. PARIS, Feb. 2. Fire set by German shells is sweeping the city of Thann, in Upper Alsace, which is now held by the French, it is reported from Belfort. Artillery duels are again all along the line. In the Vosgees and in Alsace Lorraine the big gun combats are going on in a blinding snow storm. The German engineers and sappers attached to the German army of tho Aisne have suffered heavily from the French cannonade directed toward new German trenches which were in the course of construction.

At 111 years old, the hair of Mary "the wild girl," an Inmate at the county poor farm who is mentally deficient, is' Just turning "gray, according to Frank Petro, farm superintendent. This Inmate, whose description sounds like the announcement of a circus sideshow has spent ninety-seven years in the .Wayne county infirmary. She was found, the story goes, in a woods with another girl who was called Josephine. Neither could talk. Mr. Petro traced Mary's residence

at the poor farm back about fifty years a few days ago when he was going over old records. Beyond that time there are no records. Old citizens of Hagerstown remember that Mary had been in the old county infirmary for years when it was located three miles east of there. Searches Pockets for Sweets. The woman has a mind not as keen in some ways as a dog. She responds at times to the name which was given her. When the keepers enter her room she searches their pockets for sweets. While she Is waiting for something to break the monotony, she plays with two bones which she has clung to tenaciously for a long time. Superintendent Petro says she has

learned to bring a cup of -water and do other small things of this nature. When she is given a drink, she drinks all in the vessel, no matter what the quantity, without stopping. It given food and drink together, she eats everything before her and then drinks everything before her; never mixing the two. The woman Is one of the most active physically at the poor farm and apparently will live twenty-five years. She has always had long black hair. She is believed to hold the record for residence in a poor Institution in the United States.

Keep window spaces jjwarai J

As a rule you'll find 20$? of the exterior of a house consists of windows, and the heat leakage through the glass constitutes 40 of the total heat loss in or from the average home. Our ideal heating provides the only means of offsetting the heavy onslaughts of cold at the windows by placing the radiators directly under or alongside the glass, thereby keeping the window spaces at the same uniform temperature as every other part of the house.
