The attack by tho U-boat Is Ger niany's first recognition of the state , of war declared by the United States. |lt was stated in Germany soon after • the action of Congress that no aggres sive steps would be taken against the United States.

Genuine freezone is sold only in these tiny bottles packed in a round, wood case. Don't accept it unless it is in a round, wood case.—Advertise marine attack on unprotected sea board cities and towns, raids on ship ping within sight of American shores, and a submarine blockade of the prin cipal Atlantic ports with the purpose of terrorizing shipping and people were expected. Last week- word came to Washing ton In a roundabout way that Ger many was about to declare a prohi bited submarine zone about the har bors at Boston, New York, the Dela ware capes, Chesapeake bay, Charles ton and Savannah. This would have included all the important ports 011 the Atlantic seaboard. It was said then that an official warning to neu trals of the prohibited zone \\>ould be issued from Berlin. AVull Install Fear Some American officials were disin clined to credit the report, but the entente diplomatic corps here believed In it, and predicted that Germany would soon carry the submarine cam paign to this side of the Atlantic, prin cipally for the purpose of scaring neu tral shipping away from American har bors and to raid the great squadrons of merchant ships which are moving food and supplies to America's allies 011 the European battlefronts. Some officials are inclined to believe that the lack of a declaration c* a prohibited zone in American waters may be due to the crippled condition of comnmnications with Germany since the United States entered the war. Without such a declaration, they point out, Germany will incur great claims of damages to neutrals and will carry on a new campaign without the color of legal authority which she contends the declaration of a barred zone lends to it. lierninu Taxk Difficult By declaring a prohibited zon around any of the American ports and limiting it to those waters, Germany would escape the necessity of declar ing and maintaining a general block ade of the Atlantic coastline. When the task of the Union navy during the Civil War, in maintaining an effective blockade of the southern ports is re called, the difficulties of a subma rine blockade of that vast costline may be estimated. I.ook lor liases With submarine war brought close to the doors of America, the possibil ity that German U-boats may have bases 011 this side of the Atlantic is again revived. The raid of the U-53 and the two trips of the Dentschland demonstrated that it was possible for a German submarine to escape the British cordons in the North Sea and make their way to America. Whether a submersible could make such a trip and return without having a supply base somewhere on this side of the Atlantic is gravely doubted. Many officials here always have be lieved that the U-53 had a mother ship somewhere down on the horizon. The possibility that merchant submarines of the Deutschland type now converted to carriers of fuel oil and supplies, might accompany flotillas of the war boats on their trans-Atlantic raids is recog nized as being ever present. The pos sibility of bases having been planted by tlie German raiders recently at large in the South Atlantic Is one of the foremost problems. Suspect Mexico It even has been suspected that of submarines have been shipped to Mexico and assembled there but by many Vell-infirmed officials that is doubted. The possibility of a German submarine base in the Gulf of Mexico, however, has long been recognized and many officials have been convinced that when the raiding began—as they were sure it would soon after the declara tion of war —the raiders would come from that quarter. There also have been may reports of TYRONE in.

Inasmuch as there has been no evidence of the use of such basys in more than two years of war, it is considered unlikely that even if they exist they can now be brought into use in Germany's warfare against the Unit ed States. Well Protected The navy has taken meas ures it now has at hand against tlie submarine menace and is taking more as they become available. Naval ofli cers recognize the danger of a subma rine operation off American coasts but are confident of the navy's ability to deal with them, so far as is possible at this time. Expert opinion is that some grip ping is bound to be lost if the raiding is extensive, but that submarines op erating 3,000 miles away from home have most of the disadvantages to con tend with.

FRENCH LAUNCH GENERAL ASSULT fContinued From First Pagcl a retirement on a greater scale than any yet witnessed on thewestern front since the battle of the Marne. Look Fort New Drive Operations in other sectors of this front and in the other war areas are at present of secondary importance al though the French activities further west of the Champagne and in the Alsace-Lorraine district apparently will bear close watching for possible important developments. In Mesopotamia the British have advanced further up the Tigris to within little more than ten miles of Samara, seventy miles northwest of Bagdad >vhere another battle appar ently is impending. Little resistance has been offered by the Turks in their retreat. "A great French attempt to break through yesterday, the object of which was far-reaching, failed," according to the German announcement. "The losses of the enemy were very heavy. More than 2,100 prisoners remained in our hands. "Where the enemy at a few places penetrated into our line fighting still continues and fresh enemy attacks are expected." On Monday afternoon says the Gor man statement, "the French threw fresh masses into the fray and car ried out lateral attacks between the Oise and Conde, on the Aisne. "The artillery fight which was con tinued to-day, levelled the positions and produced wide, deep craters ren dering an obstinate defense no longer possible. "The lighting is no longer against a line but over a deep and irregular l'orlified zone.

If dyspeptics, sufferers from gas, wind or llatuience, stomach acidity or sourness, gastric catarrh, heartburn, etc., would take a teaspoonful of pure bisurated magnesia in half a glass of hot water, many would soon forget that they were ever afflicted with stomach trouble, and doctors would have to look elsewhere for patients. Physicians tell us that most forms of stomach trouble are due to stomach acidity or fermentation of the food contents combined with catarrh of the stomach. A cup of hot water taken with a teaspoonful of bisurated mag nesia before meals will wash out mucus and tend to prevent food fer mentation of the stomach. Taken an hour or two after eating they instantly reduce the excess acidity. In either condition, therefore, the treatment is eminently successful and decidedly pre ferable to the use of artificial digest ants, stimulants or medicines used in discriminately for indigestion. Stomach sufferers can obtain Bi surated Magnesia from Geo. A. Gorgas, or any good druggist in either powder or tablets and for treatment as out lined above the bisurated form should be insisted on as it is especially pre pared for correction of stomach acidity.
