THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, MONDAY, MARCH 25, 1918

LORD IS AIDING HIM, EMPEROR WIRES EMPRESS

Hindenburg Also Says "We Should Be Pleased with Result." AMSTERDAM, March 25. "Well, your majeaty, I think we way be well pleased with the Initial success." Thus the Berlin Tageblatt quotes Field Marshal von Hindenburg as saving to Emperor William when the field marshal received the first telegrams concerning the offensive on the western front. The newspaper adds that the time i for the offensive was fixed long ago, and that It began at exactly the time Bet for Its commencement, even to the hour. From the Emperor. Another dispatch from Berlin says the German empress has received the following telegram from Emperor William: "I am pleased to be able to tell you that by the grace of God, the battle of Monchy, Cambral. St. Quentln. and La Fere has been won. The Lord has gloriously aided. May he further help." Allies Given Warning. The Berlin Lokal Anselger, commenting on the offensive, recalls Chancellor von Hertling'a remark four weeks ago that the allies should consider what they were doing. The time of waiting. It adds, now has passed. The statesmen retire again from the foreground and the generals draw the sword on the world's stage to enforce peace, it declares, adding: "We concluded peace In the east, and now turn with the full weight of our concentrated national strength against the western powers." Lieut. Gen. Baron Arand von Ardenne, the military expert of the Berlin Tageblatt. writes in that newspaper that the newa of the offensive came like "the first lightning flash on a sultry night. . . . Every one says to himself. 'Let what must come, come soon.' " Running on Schedule. The Berlin Vossische Zeitung's war correspondent, telegraphing from the neighborhood of the Oise, says: "All our movements have taken place with miraculous exactitude, according to the plans of the master who organized the attack. The English are defending themselves bravely, but the British command was not equal to the attack, which, although doubtless foreseen, probably was not expected so early." TWO LEICESTERSHIRE Continued From Page One. That Great Britain failed to make a greater concentration of men on the western front Is deplored by the Morning Post, which urges that conscription be put Into effect In Ireland to fill th (rap. "This great battle," It says, "teaches us all the vital nature of the western front. It is here that the war Is beins decided. What would we give now for all those glorious legions we have sent to the ends of the earth at the behest of our amateurs In strategy? "Even the dazzling glories of Jerusalem fade into Insignificance In the lisht of this conflict on the Somme. We have all along urged that the westpro Is the decisive front. The skill of our generals are the steadiness of our men are now barely enabling our armies to hold their own against this tremendous assault which our commanders had forseen. The most urgent need is for men upon the western front. They must be got If our amy and our country are to be saved. And to get them one measure above all others Is needful. "We must apply the national service act to Ireland. When we do that our government will rest Its further claims upon this country upon a rock of justice as well as of necessity." DERIDES BRITI8H ARTILLERY AMSTERDAM. Sunday. March 24. Describing the first day of the battle on the western front, the correspondent of the Vosslsche Zeltung Bays that the British artillery was held with "uncanny precision" and Its counterattacks became ever fainter and less systematto. "The British strewed their shells without system over the wide zone of attack," he adds. "Our guns, supported bv cannons and howitzers of our

Aurtro-Hungarlan allies, had cleared j the way for the Infantry. The German i

storming troops swung over the ramparts punctual to the minute which had teen fixed weeks ago and made a great push Into the enemy territory on the same ground ovor which the Ton Hindenburg retreat took place a year ago. The attack westward now went for. ward with the old plan and offensive spirit of 1014. Our battalions stormed over the ground and broke the enemy resistance along the entire line. "It Is declared unanimously that the British fought bravely, but that their

leadership was not equal to the mighty blow. By evening the lirltlth front had been pushed back on the whole

broad battlefield.

"A thick mist during the morning

hours considerably disturbed our op

erations. Curtains of mut gathered eo thickly that the men serving the field artillery, which advanced imrao

dlately behind the in rant ry could hard. 1y see their horses.

The batteries had in take their new objectives under fire without direct ob, serration and the infantry laboroiusly

had to win positions and sectors In the fog and without any methodical artfllery preparation,"

DO YOUR "BIT" TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH

OF THE NATION

What to Do for Winter Ills and Other

Sickness; Ho wto Be Healthy.

"The War," said a public official recently, "has awakened the people to the fact that conservation of health is quite as important as conservation of foodstuffs and when combined one with the other will do much to help win the war. This will result In a

healthier, happier people."

"An ounce of prevention Is better

than a pound of cure," for by maintaining health, efficiency is at Its

best. For 28 years Hull's Superlative has been doing a wonderful work and has been heralded as the world's greatest remedy because thousands of

men and women have been restored

to health by taking it after having

tried in vain to get relief in other ways. Hull's Superlative is prescribed by many physiciaadsntoy inordaloobvbm many physicians today, as it contains in highly concentrated form the very elements required by the body to restore health and strength, and it is because of these invaluable elements that stomach and nerve disorders, also colds, grip, tonsilitis and other contagious ailments vanish in a hurry when this remedy is taken. The druggist personally guarantees Hull's Superlative to give entire satisfaction or the money will be refunded upon return of the partly filled or empty bottle. For sale by all druggists. (Adv.)

COMEY'S Ediiorialet-a-Grams It makes no difference what you say, unless you say it so that the people can understand It. Co-operation is the most profitable form of competition. Do not ignore your competitor study him. There is no such thing as an expert; the man who comes nearest to it is the one who is learning more all the time. They used to say that It took salesmanship to sell a man something he didn't want. Now in the best mercantile circles they call It damphoollshness. At Conkey's we try to always send the customer away with a cheerful WE Thank You, CaU Again smile. They are then glad to come back; and that's what we want them to do COME BACK. Heaven's up, not down. The beautiful view is from the top of the mountain, not the bottom. Tho fairest fruit grows high in the tree. You cannot slide to success, you must climb. Remember this when you are getting your bumps, and keep your eyes up. Druggists in Jackson, Miss., now charge fifteen cents for each and every delivery. At Conkey's "We Deliever Free and Freely." Our President rightly says: "Patriotism and Business should go hand-in-hand."

SPOT ' Our Common Enemy THE SPY Swat the fly! Spot the spy! Spies feed on little crumbs of conversation, little glances of observation. Starve them out ! Germans their agents and sympathizers are listening. Don't talk. A careless remark dropped in a street car or in fact anywhere, may give a spy the missing link in a, long chain. When in doubt, don't say it ! Three cowboys caught tho spy whose papers exposed Benedict Arnold. Report suspicious persons who ask curious questions. The German spy chief, Stieber, claimed that he won the Franko-Prussian war with his army of spies ahead of the troops. The German spy army invaded America long ago.
