From Saturday's Daily. The following, tyken from the Omaha News of last evening, will be of much interest to the residents of this city as it concerns a Plattsmouth young man who is f.oon to be united in matfriage to one of the popular young ladies of Omaha: "Mr. and Mrs. JI. N. Craig an nounce the engagement ' of their daughter, Miss Josephine, to J. R. Travis of this city.

VON HOLLWEG IS BACK; ANSWER IS DETERMINED Chancellor Returns to Berlin From Headquarters, Where American Demand Is Reviewed. CHARACTER OF REPLY IS NOT YET REVEALED Only Higher Officials of Empire Know What Course Will Be Followed. Berlin, April 23, Via Copenhagen to London, April 24. The Imperial chan cellor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg. re turned to Berlin this afternoon, which would seem to justify the assumption that the empire's responsible leaders at army headquarters have finished consideration of the American note and have reached the decision regard ing Germany's reply. What this reply will be is naturally unknown to any but the highest officials. The chancellor's return, it is under stood, was not expected until Tues day; heiK-e a general decision appears to have beer: reached earlier than was looked for There was no intimation of when the reply wilt be formulated, but there seems to be much signifi cance in the fact that the Lokal An- jreiger, which is consistently well in formed, says thnt "Germany's pres tige and rtrcngth have so increased in the last twenty months in the eyes of the whole world that the German gov ernment has, indeed, only to follow the commandments of wisdom." Can Make tfencessions. The obvious deduction, according to the view here, is tint there is nothing to prevent Germany from making cer tain concessions if the leaders feel that thev can properly do so. Whether they do feci that they can go thus far is, of course, another ques tion. There is unquestionably a consider- r.ble pence party in Germany, which includes powerful financial interest represented by the Bourse organs and the Frankfurter Zeilung and including also the Berlin Tagebiatt and social ist organs. Certain high officials also would consent to a breach of war with (he Unkeu States only reluctantly and under pressure of vhit seemed to be to them an unavoidable necessity. It may be not without significance that Maximilian Harden was permit ted to pront a remarkable article in his paper, Zukunft, defending Presi dent Wilson's standpoint in plain word .5. Safe Medicine for Children. "Is it safe?" is the first question to be considered when buying cough med icine for children. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has long been a favor ite with mothers of young children as it contains no opium or other narcotic, and may be given to a child as confi dently as to an adult. It is pleasant to take, too, which is great importance when a medicine mmust be given to young children. This remedy is most effectual in relieving coughs, colds and croup. Obtainable everywhere.

Todd Is Nominated. - Advices from Nebraska City this afternoon state that the vote in that county on the office of float represen tative on the democratic ticket clear ly indicates the nomination of L. G. Todd of Union for that office over C. J. Mullis of Dunbar.

GERMANS RE- ATTACKS . ON VERDUN Take's Up the Assault on Verdun Once More Larger Operations Are Now Looked For. London, April 21 Geiman troops have returned to the attack on the northwest front of Verdun Saturday, despite their repulse. More than 700,000 French troops have leen engaged in the defense of Verdun since the crown prince launch ed his jrrcat offensive against the fort ress two months ago, the German war office estimates. Thirty -eight French divisions have been counted on the curving front ex tending from Avocourt, west of the dun, the German statement said. The Meuse, to Fresnes, southeast of Ver French veterans, beaten and with shattered nerves from the first days of the terrific German artillery attack, were withdrawn and replaced by the younger men and then sent back into the battle. Expect New Attacks. . Critics here look for iC resumption of the German offensive on a very argc scale early this week. The Ger man gunners have become active on both banks of the M?use and French and German infantry have been in a constant clash. In the past forty-eijrht hours the French have made effective attacks on both banks of the river, thus im proving their defensive positions, in anticipation of a, renewal of German r.ssault. The German war office has admitted the loss of more trenches to the French in Caurettes woods, to the northwest of Verdun. British infantry has recaptured a trench from the Germans on the Ypres-Langemarck road, General Haig reports. The British line, which was recent ly under German pressure, has now been completely re-established from the Hohenzollern redoubt northward. Mining operations occurred around Neuve Chapelle Saturday. Elsewhere only artillery combats were reported on the British front. Russian Forces Advance. Tetrograd, April 24.
