a clear, fresh complexion, use Res

thoroughly with a warm, creamy
lather of it, then rinse the face with
plenty of cold water.
It docs not often take many days
of such regular care with Resinol

cause the Resinol medication soothes
and refreshes the skin, while the

PARIS, June 3.
Fifty thousand men, somo of them fresh
troops, were used; by tho Germans In their
renewed nssaulta against the French line
between Vaux nnd Tutaumont Farm, north
east of Verdun. It la stated In dispatches
from tho front today.
For four days nnd four nights tho Ger
mans haro been attacking on tho Verdun
front, delivering BlodRO-hammor blows, now
on one side of the Meuse Illver nnd then on
the other, says tho Echo do 1'arls. These
masslvo attacks hava Invariably been pro-
ceded by an Increased vlolenco In tho artil
lery Are, which novir dies out entirely.
That tho Crown Prlrico Is nnxlous to
reach a decision on tho Verdun battlefield
without any further delay Is made evident
by tho Increased pressure which tho Teu
tons are exerting. With frosh troops, rein
forcements of heavy ruim nnd vast sup.
piles of ammunition tho Germans nro
pounding away more vigorously now than
at nny other tlmo slnco tho first days of
tho battle in February.
' KAlfc AT CHATTANCOUItT.
The sudden shift of the German assaults
from tho western bank of tho Mcuno to
the eastern sldo followed the check admin
ntered by the French when tho Germans
j-ied to take Chnttancourt by storm.
Tho fnlluro of the Germans to break
through the French lino south of Cumterci
and occupy Chattnncourt upset their plan
of battle, nnd In addition It entailed losses
which wero seriously felt.
The fltatln states that the German losses
slnco tho bnttlo opened on February 21
must bo nt least 400,000 men In kilted,
wounded and prisoners. Those losses hnvo
been heavier during tho last fortnight of
fighting than at any other tlmo slnco tho
Teutons wore attacking; around Fort Dounu
mont In the first two weeks of tho engage
ment. French guns hnvo taken a heavy toll, but
tho heaviest losses havo been Indicted by
tho machine guns Most of tho casualties
of the French sldo havo resulted from the
Incessant shelling of tho Germans.
GUNS BUSY 20 HOURS.
Tho cannonade of drum fire which pro
ceded Thursday's attacks cast of tho Mcuso
vvaa uninterrupted for 26 hours, AH tho
tima lha Germani kebt hot only lha Drat
but tho second lino trenches under fire,
drenching ho Trench positions -tvlth tons
of steel Pomeranian troop wero sent for
ward when the fire slackened, debouching
from Chauffeur Woods, but were" mowed
down In great numbers by French guns
masked behind Colo do Frold nnd Hill 320.
Even harder was the hammer blow which
was struok simultaneously against tho
French trenches In Cnllettcs Woods and
Bouth of Chnpltro Woodi Tho object of
these assaults was to cHe the Germans
possession ot Floury, south of Thlaumont
farm and less than a mlla from Fort Sou
vllte, ono of tho works defending Verdun on
the northensL After n heroic! combat tho
French retired to their supporting trenches
along a front of 1600 yards, where tho
struggle is in progress now. if tho Germans
had been successful In their first rusben they
would havo endangered tho whole line of
tho French northeast of Verdun.
Following Is tho text of the communique!
In tho Argonno there wan n fight
with hand grenades at VaUnuols At
Courtes Chausses and Io Fllie Morto
wo exploded several mines which dam
aged tho works of tho enemy.
On tho left bank of the Meuse our
troops by a countcr-nttack penetrated
300 yards of tho enemy's cotnmunU
eating trenches. South of CauretteH
Woods, between tho wood and tho vil
lage of Cumlcros, an enemy attack wan
checked by our cotintcr-offonBlvo nnd
tho enemy could make no dobouoh.
In tho Thlntimont-Douaumont re
gion, tho enemy's nttack was repulsed
by our Counter-attack nnd rlflo fire.
South of Douaumont tho Germans
succeeded In penetrating the southern
part of Cnllletto Woods and tho border
of Vaux Lake. On our right till tho
enemy'H nttacks agnlnst tho Vaux
Damlop sector wero checked by tho re
sistance of our troops. Tho enemy suf
fered very heavy losses. During ho
course of theso nctlnni tho nrtlllery
lighting was of exceptional vlolenco
nnd-contlnucd along tho wholo front.
BKRLIN, Juno 2. A despcrnto French,
countcr-ntnek on tho German positions
southwest of Vaux forest failed, tho War
Office nnounccd today. On tho West bank
of tho Meuso repeated French nttneks wero
repulsed witli heavy losses to tho aggres
sors. Tho text of tho statement follows;
