THE ANSCO CAMERA has been convicted of Greatest Air Fight Since War Beganâ€" Allies Fly 50 Miles Over Enemy Linesâ€"Advance on West Front â€"-._‘___ In the two and a half years of this war there have been many battles on a scale far outdistancing those of any other wars in the matter of men em- ployed, the prodigious use of’ guns and ammunition, and territory cover- ed, but there never yet has been such a battle as that fought Saturday in the air. The British official report “During the days and night of April 5 and 6 our aeroplanes have been very active, continually harassing the enemy’s communications a long way in the rear and seeking out his fighting machines at a considerable distance behind his lines. Large tracts of the enemy’s country for many miles in the rear have been photographed, ““11””3 1‘“- over 1,700 photographs being taken iliizn with behind the enemy’s lines Seventeen and with h successful bomb raids were carried cuts in H14 out on enemy aerodromes, ammuni- ,j tion depots and railways a long dis- “H“ “‘1’" tance behind the lines, in addition to Sunday \'\'« numerous small raida A total of I‘lusic‘l' sou.- over eight tons of bombs was drop- l’nstvr me" ped.

There was violent artillery fighting in several sectors between the Somme and the Aisne and in Champagne. In Belgium our troops penetrated at two points the positions of the enemy in the region of Lombartzyde. Numerous German dead were found in the trenches blown up by our fire. An attack by the enemy on one of our small posts south of the Paschendaele Canal was repulsed with grenades. “Quite spirited artillery actions oc- curred Sunday at various points along the front, especially between the Somme and the Oise, south of the Aillette River and in the region to the northwest of Rheims. In the Argonne a surprise attack by the enemy against our trenches in the valley of the Aire was repulsed after hard fighting. According to late re- ports the Germans fired to-day and last night 7,500 shells into Rheims, fifteen civilians being killed and many wounded.” A despatch from London reads: Germany’s Demand For Return of Submarine is Refused The Dutch Government’s reply to the German demand for the release of her interned submarines or the internment of the armed British mer- chantman Princess Melita was pre- sented at the beginning of the week, it was learned Sunday. It is, of course, a refusal to do either. On the other hand, the Dutch Government’s reply to the British note regarding the ad- mission of armed merchantmen into Dutch ports is equally a refusal. The Cox ernment says it is unable to a'lter the. regulations made at the begin- ning of the wet, and points out that when the matter was under discus- sion at The Hague Conference the British representative urged. that neutrals should not be permitted to alter neutrality rules during war ex- cept to make them more stringent. The tone of the rpely is reported to be very friendly. Alfred I. Du Pont Sunday night an- nounced his intention of turning over to the Government a submarine de- stroyer of a new type, now under con- struction at Bristol, R.I., and which is pronounced by experts 'to be one of the most efficient yet conceived. It is to be of all steel construction, 110 feet long. 15 feet beam, and a draught of only 4%» feet, and will be completed July 1. The light draft of the boat, it is said, virtually will render it im- mune from torpedoes. A report from Paris says: The Government announces that in view of the methodical destruction of the City of Rheims by German artillery every person Whose presence 15 non considered indispensible must leave the place, Refuge Will be provided for those who are unable to find shel- ter with relatives or friends.

IRRITATED SORE. ‘2 :lzhgre Isâ€" something in Zam-Buk that makes this famous balm vic- torious over obstinate skin d_is<_aa_ses. vpâ€"vâ€" Mr. John L. Frenette, .of Niga- doo, N.B., writes: “A rash appeared on my head and quickly spread until my head was entirely covered with sores. I was a shocking sight, and was suffering a great deal with the burning and irritation. I consulted a doctor, who told me I had eczema, and although he prescribed several medicines which I used, I did not seem to get any better. “ Then I tried Zam-Buk, which I had heard highly recommended, and was soon delighted with the im- provement in the sores. The burn- ing and irritation got less by de- grees, and then disappeared. The inflammation was drawn, out, and before long the sores were entirely healed.” vw- _.- â€" Zaln-Buk is the world’s great her- bal skln cure, and ls unequalled for ulcers, old sores, bad legs, boils, blood-poisoning, ringworm. and piles, as well as cuts, burns, scalds, and all skin injuries.
