HARD FIGHT AHEAD, HOWEVER London Admits Initial Smash Bent Back Front Line. lierlin Keports Front Line Cap tured, Arras to La Fere. (liy the Associated Press.) The first stape of the great German offensive on the western front has passed and it is to be scored as a Ger man failure, the enemy having fallen short of realizing his aims in the first j;re:tt smash, according to dispatches from British headquarters today. After attacking all day yesterday and until a late hour last night the Germans let down in their smashing operation along fifty miles of the Brit ish front and had not resumed their heavy assaults at the latest advices from Sir Douglas Haig. Further hard fighting was ahead, however, the field marshal predicted. Ths enemy was still being held in the British battle positions, he reported, which means thfit the British line is still intact al tr -mittedly it had been bent back et at points under the terrific Teu ton :c assault. The battle lines have not moved in only one direction, how ever, the British having struck back spiritedly at the German masses aifd regained some of the positions which they had temporarily abandoned. Infantry Halts Big Guns Iloar On. While the infantry is being held temporarily in check the artillery bat tle is still raging, according to indica tions in the news dispatches. Great numbers of Austrian cannon are de clared to have been transferred to the western front to reinforce the German artillery. Bulgarians, too, have been brought into the field by the German command, it is declared, the under standing being that they are to be used as a strategic reserve. Altogether the indications are that the central powers have massed all possible forces at their disposal on the west front for their present drive. The prospects seem, however, that they will need every man of them if they keep up their attack long with a- hing like its initial force, as all th reports indicate that the German losses have been terrific under the withering fire of the British artillery and machine guns. The German ar tillery too has suffered heavily thru counter battery work by the British who found the massed guns fine tar gets for effective destructive work. First Stage of Drive Past. "British Army Headquarters in France, March 22.-rr-The fighting is still continuing, but the first stage of the offensive has passed. The enemy has failed badly in the execution of his program as is attested by cap tured documents showing wha he planned to do in the early hours of hie offensive. "Capture First Une," Says Berlin. Berlin, March 22 (British Admiralty per Wireless). The British first line has been captured by German troops attacking from the southeast of Ar ras, as far as La Fere, the war office announces. Heavy artillery fighting continues in Belgium and French landers. Re connoi taring detachments are said to have penetrated the opposing lines at many points. Ostend was bombarded from the sea. London, March 22. "We hold the enemy in our battle positions," Field Marshal Haig announced today. "Battle positions" are the defenses directly behind the first line trenches. Haig's statement would indicate that the German penetration has been limited. The statement follows: "Fighting continued until a late hour last night on the whole front be tween the River Oise and the River Sensee. Our troops continue to hold the enemy in their battle positions, "During the enemy's attacks yes terday his massed infantry offered re markable targets to our rifle, ma chine guns and artillery, of which full advantage was taken by our troops. All the reports testify to the exceed ingly heavy losses suffered by the enemy. "No serious attack has yet devel oped this morning but heavy fight ing is still to be expected." British soldiers have met and with stood the most stupendous attack Germany has hurled against the west ern front in three and one-half years or -warfare.

Scarpe and Cambrai Forces Driving for Junction Point. WOULD SURROUND BRITISH Initial Effort Is To "Pinch Off" Cambrai Salient. Design Similar to Former Suc cessful Counter There. London, March 22. It is not yet possible to give more than a very general and vague idea of the fighting Thursday on the front between the Oise and the Zebsee which continues with swaying fortunes, according to the accounts of correspondents at the British front in the morning news papers. The German attack made on the British front west and southwest of Cambrai evidently aims at recaptur ing all the Hindenburg line, says a dispatch to the Morning Post from British headquarters in France, which adds: "The German army attacking south of th3 Scarpe seems to have delivered its first blow principally in the triangle of the Arras-Cambrai and Bapaume Cambrai roads, while the German army south of Cambrai is striking against our trench systems, in the region west of the Scheldt canal. No doubt' the enemy hopes that the at tacking forces of these two armies may succeed in forming a junction, thus cutting off a considerable slice of the British front and taking DacK all the Hindenburg trenches lost ex actly four months ago." Began Bombardment at a. ni. Struereles for villages and ruined farm houses continued thruout Thurs day, according to the correspondent of the Mail. The enemy bombard ment, he says, began at 5 o'clock in the morning, and at 7 o'clock some of the German units left their trenches and attacked the British with heaw and litrht machine guns. Be tween 9 and 10 the engagement be came general on a front of some twenty-five miles. "The rifjht of the German attack was aimed at Croisilles, Bullecourt and Lagincourt, and there was hard fighting in a brick iieia near tne nrsi of these villages. Along the Bapaume Cambria road the enemy also attacked and then towards Gouzeaucourt, while his left wing was pushed in the direc tion of Ronnsoy and Hargicourt. The British front in the area of at- tack forms a rather sharp salient. If (Continued on Pase Two.) GERMAN VIEW OF IT German Newspapers Herald Current Battle as Expected Drive. London, March 22. "We are now entered on a decisive battle for gen eral peace." says the Taglische Rund schau of Berlin, according to a dis patch from Copenhagen, in announc ing that the commencement of the German offensive in the west is re ceived with great felicitation by the German people, who will follow it with feverish interest. The newspaper adds: "A single combat between England and Germany, which is to decide the war, our future position in the world and whether the Anglo-Saxons shall continue to press their will on the world, opened today." WAR ON BULGARIA! Their Presence on West Front May Result In Iecluration by IT. S. Washington. March 22. Berlin re ports today that Bulgars are now fighting on the west front aroused im mediate speculation here as to the probability of the United States de claring war against Bulgaria. Government authorities said a de cision would await further facts as to the extent of Bulgaria's participation and whether they are facing only Brit ish or also Americans. If Bulgars participate in the west drive to such an extent as to insure their operation against Americans a declaration of war is held inevitable. Bulgarians here thought the dispatch might refer to Magyars, instead of Bulgars. BERLIN NOT EXCITED neceives News Quietly Bulgars and Austrians Help Huns. Berlin, via Copenhagen, March 22. News that the big battle had begrun on the west front was received quietly here. Herr von Steiner. the Austrian war minister, who. is in Berlin, is reported to have agreed that the Austrians will hold the east front and. at the same time, furnish a few Austrian troops and many puns for the west front. A few Bulgars also are on the west front. rz T France The British tank was one of the great sensations of the present war. t not only surprised the world when t appeared in action, but it sur prised the Germans and there was i (rood stronsr jolt accompanying the rorprise. The very idea of a land jattleship was inspiring in itself, but Sie tanks did not go into action with iny desire on the part of their crews create poetry and romance. They went into action to sweep German sarbed wire out of the way so that :he infantry could tret through quick ly with bullet and bayonet and bomb nd overwhelm the Huns before they oud organize an effective defense.

The American destroyer Manly has reached a Brit ish harbor in safety, it was stated here today. Fire broke out in the after part of the Manly and the depth charge kept there was immediately thrown over board in the hope that the vessel would steam clear. The explosion, however, blew off the after part of the vessel. Several survivors were landed and are now in a hospital. The Manly was damaged when a depth charge aboard was set -off by a collision. Four men were killed and several badly hurt. Will Send Bodies Home. An Irish Port, March 22.

DEFINES COAL ZONES Fuel Plan Will Eliminate Thousands of Miles of Cross-Hauling. Washington, March 22. Reorgani zation of the entire bituminous coal industry began today, following an nouncement by Fuel Administrator Garfield of fourteen producing zones within which consumption will be largely confined. Elimination of thousands of miles of long cross-hauling with consequent increase in car utility are the big re sults aimed at. Only bituminous and cannel coal are affected. Anthracite, coke, rail road coal, coal for movement of land waterways, coal delivered to Canada are not affected. Regulations are ef fective April 1. Embargoes by Director General Mc Adoo will prevent violation of Dr. Garfield's order.

With these excep tions, coal must be purchased from the nearest producing center. trench;' the Germans could do one of two things they could surrender or die. If the tanks were a sensation at Arras, they were a cataclysm at Cambrai when dozens of them clear ed the way for the "Tommies" and aided in the capture or destruction of hordes of the enemy. As will be recalled, the commander of the vast tank squadrot. went Into action seated in plain view on top of his tank flagship, exposed to rifle, machine gun and artillery fire, and not only inspired his men but gave the whole world a laugh when he flew the signal, "England expects every tank to do its d dest!"

In the ab sence of the text of President Wilson's proclamation directing the seizure of Dutch ships in American harbors, crowds gathered Thursday around bulletin boards to read of the action. Mingled anger and bewilderment were evident among the watchers. Speaking of the seizure, the Nieuw Rotterdamsche Courant says: "The American government has seized another's goods. The action is a stain on the United States history that will be uneffaceable for decades. The Dutch will bear the blow with dignity, which is the small country's best answer to the big power for grievous injury" DID TERRIFIC DAMAGE British Aerial Attack on Mannheim Caused Fires; Huns in Panic Geneva, Wednesday, March 20. In formation has reached Basel that the British aerial attack of Monday upon Mannheim, Germany, did enormous damage in the city, causing several furious fires, especially in the vicinity of the railway station. A powder factory and a gas plant are reported to have exploded. The population, according to these advices, is panic-stricken and many persons are going to Switzerland, especially women and children. The south Ger man press is continuing its campaign against aerial reprisals but the Berlin government is declared to show no disposition to negotiate. so-called "Slacker 601" which pro vides that an alien of allied citizen ship must fight or be deported so that his own conscription laws may compel him to do his duty; when Great Britain and the United States are putting the finishing touches on an international draft convention; it may interest great many able bodied young men in thii country who claim British citizenship but have not volunteered for service, that the British and Canadian armies have a vast number of these land battleships, evidence of which is given in the accompanying photo graph.

May Be Only Big Show To Cloak Some Secret More! -5fcashi n gtonV March 2 -A meri can military observers, already having cast their doubts on whether the German drive begun yesterday really heralds the long expected German offensive, were closely scanning the official dis patches today for evidence to support their view that the German onslaught, terrific as it may be. really is the forerunner of some other movement. There is a marked tendency among American army officers here not to accept the present movement as the real offensive until it is more fully demonstrated. Despite announcement from London that the German war machine is at tacking on a wider front than ever be fore attempted in the west, there is a distinct feeling here that the move may not prove more than a gigantic demonstration to overawe European neutrals or cloak some other purpose Germany has in mind. American observers think that the military situation in France is against tne probability or a real German of fensive at this time. The view ore- vails that Germany now would hardly stake the issue of the war on a des perate drive against the all but im pregnable allied line in the west.

German Prisoners Declare Their Forces Suffered Heavily. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMM?. With the British Armies in France, March 22. British troops are holding the Germans everywhere and are driv ing them back in places, the latest re ports indicate. The enemy has not reached a single I one of his objectives, which, accord- i ing to a captured map, included Her- mies, Archiet-le-Petit and Boiry-St. Martin. j British counter-attacks with tanks i at 7 o'clock last night threw the Ger- mans out of Doignies, which the Brit ish still occupied this morning. The Germans have not used tanks on this front so far. The enemy attacked in tremendous i strength yesterday. At least nineteen divisions (probably from 134,300 to 285,000 men, figuring on the basis of 8,000 to 15,000 men in a division) 1 have been identified. j Penetrate Second Defenses. j By noon they had succeeded in penetrating the British first and sec ond defense systems on a short front age.

The weather, foggy thruout yester day, was the same today, handicap ping airmen. The German artillery operated in the open, under the densest camou flage. German prisoners declare their batteries suffered greatly. As this is cabled, Hindenburg's first thrust apparently is checked with small gains. Battle Continues on Cambrai Front. The situation has quieted down, at least momentarily, save In the region of Pongville (ten miles' west of Cam brai) where heavy shelling continues. Hermies is three miles west of Flesquires and nine miles east of Ba paume. Flesquires is the apex of the sharp "Cambrai salient." Achiet-le-Petit is four miles north west of Bapaume and eight miles southwest of Croisilles. The latter is one of the points of the German pen etration. Achiet-le-Petit is a junction point in the railway running from Bapaume northward to Arras. Boiry-St. Martin is two miles west of Croisilles. Doignies is about a mile south of Louveral, where the Germans are also reported to have penetrated the Brit ish lines. It is eight miles east of Bapaume on the Bapaume -Cambrai highway. OWN K. C.

London Finds Great Satisfac tion in Haig's Report. London, March 22. The eagerly awaited British official statement of today which gave further details of the tremendous fighting indicated in last night's reports, was read with great satisfaction, insofar as it re vealed that the enemy had been held and had suffered great losses. If this turns out to be the great German of fensive that has been predicted the preliminary round appears to have gone in favor of the entente, altho as the official report points out further heavy fighting is still to be ex pected. The tremendous artillery duel was heard more distinctly than ever in Kent last night. Houses were con tinually shaken as the result of the violent concussions.

An Oil Derrick Alone Costs $2,200 WEATHER REPORT WEATHER FORECAST for Kansas: Eair tonight and Saturday; warmer Saturday. As has been pointed out. preliminary to the actual drilling of a well, a rig made up of timbers and lumber must be set up above the'point the hole is to be drilled. A standard light rig, such as is used in the drilling of shallow wells, as in the American pipeline leases in the north Osage coun try, costs in the neighborhood of SI, 500. A derrick known as the California rig for deep drilling must be braced for strength and the average cost of these is around 12.200 each. That kind of der rick is used' in the Blackfield field. It takes about 30,000 feet of lumber to construct a derrick. Probably the largest item of gas well cost is for the casing which is'put in the hole as it is drilled. Drilling, which usually is con tracted for at so much per foot, also forms a considerable part of the cost. KANSAS NATURAL. GAS CO.

Storm Troops Led Drive. What sometimes appears a hurri cane becomes a feint and a seeming feint becomes a serious drive. The Germans hurled their storm troops against the British right flank, following a brief bombardment on a forty-five mile front. They came on in thick waves behind a smoke bar rage. British artillery and machine guns cut swaths in the enemy ranks. Enemy high velocity guns began shelling towns far in the rear as the battle commenced. They fired regu larly thruout the morning, at five minute intervals, stopping periodiccffly to cool off their guns. Watched HIndenburg's Moves. German preparations prior to the attack were stupendous and were car ried out with the utmost attempt at secrecy. Haig, however, knew what -was happening. His airmen reported every new ammunition dump, railwav line, strategic road or airdrome, as soon as they were commenced. Day by day they watched Hinden burg complete his preparations. And day by day Haig took counter-precautions, accordingly. New York Stork Market. Wall St., New York, March 22.

Financial News Bulletin Stocks A continuance of the narrow specialty market with bull trading tendencies is indicated by laU st develop ments. Conservative and selected pur chases on recessions for turns should prove more profitable than any other policy fit the moment. Equipments stocks are well taken. They are destined for much higher prices in our opinion. The new tic raisin drive and the big railroad wage increase are looked udod as restraining factors, fool sources are predicting higher levels for American Can, American Steel Foundries. American Car Foundry. Central Foundry, Corn Products. Pittsburg Coal and lietn lebem Steel. Chicago, March 22. The Herald says: Grain Kxport business in oats with the wheat export company does not seem to b easily satisfied. It is said that pur chases the last four days have been around i mi Minn in all nositinna. Over :tO0.000 were sold yesterday, including 000 from i Chicago, at tne uijruesi premium i iue season, the demand being uusatisfied at the last. During the winter monthly re quirements of the wheat export company were said to have been close to 10 million huflhel. Since the exoort Duvine started over a week ago it is estimated about 5 million bushels bave been sold to the sea board. This buying has advanced prem iums 2Hc as compared with May. It is tbe impression of the cash men and bulls that so long as the seaboHrd continues a liberal buyer of oats it will be hard to bold prices down. Indications re. however, for a larger country movement after the middle of next week. I'as-inp of the 2.r-9 wheat bill by the senate yesterday was construed by many traders as bullish on corn and oata with perfect weather for early seeding and with large stocks in the leading pro ducing sections it us said that short cov ered on tbe bulge yesterday, and witboot new buying by exporters any heavy sell ing might cause a, decline.

Eleven Are Awarded French Cross of War for Heroism. BY FRED S. FERGUSON. With the American Army in France, March 21 (night). Twelve American soldiers who have sacrificed their lives in the fight for democracy, were cited for bravery by the French com mander here this evening. The cas ualties all were in the Luneville sec tor. The honored dead were: Lieut. L. J. Jordan, Fredericksburg, Tex., of the Illinois artillery. Alexander B. Burns, Donner's Grove, 111., also of the Illinois artillery. Sergeants Frank O'Connell, f Ohio, and Paul Ludwig, of Pennsylvania. 1 Corporal W. F. i vania. Gehring, Pennsyl- Privates J. E. White, Homer Daw son, T. W. Rolewski and M. J. Bird, of Ohio; Robert Rotouck of Pennsyl vania, S. I. Owen Hetty of California and W. Dickerson of North Carolina. All these fell between February 22 and March 21. Telephone linemun Killed. Burns was read into the army or ders for keeping telephone wires to the artillery repaired for two days and nights, under the hottest of shell fire. Wires were shot from his hands as he worked. On the third night. he received a fatal shrapnel wound. Lieutenant Jordan was the first man killed in his section. He was given an impressive funeral with French and American officers at tending. In addition to these citations, par ticipants in a raid carried out on March 9 were given the French oross of war for their coolness and disre gard of danger. Captains Ross and Casey, both from Villisca, Iowa, were complimented for their actions. All others receiving the cross were con gratulated on their behavior. Receiving the cross, in addition to the two officers, were: Lieutenant Lear of Des Moines; Theodore Bundy, Iowa; Corporal L. A. Mordere, Iowa, and Private C. Boyd and C. Cain of Iowa; Jerry Brown, Sergeant E. Justice corporal Mullins, Sergeant Pauling, California and Bruce Lavery of Ohio." Private Cain was wounded, but he persisted in working his gun until he became exhausted. MISS0UB1AN HELD CAPTIVE But Mexican Consul at El Paso Says He Has No Information on Report. Douglas, Ariz., March 22. Ives G. Lelevier, Mexican consul here, said today that he knew nothing of the capture of Benjamin W. Bourne, who was reported in a message received by E. A. Bourne of Joplin, Mo., to have been taken prisoner by 'Mexican ban dits across the Mexican border from Douglas. Mr. Lelevier said he know of no bandits in northern Sonora. A CHILD DOESN'T LAUGH AND PLAY IF CONSTIPATED Look, Mother! Is tongue coated, breath feverish and stomach sour? "California Syrup of Figs" can't harm tender stomach, liver, bowels. I Mother! Tour child isn't naturall" i cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little et'ornach. liver and bowels need a cleansing at nce. When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a gren tle liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given. Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs" for children's ills; give a tea Bpoonful. and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food which is clogged in the bowels passes out of .the system, and you have a welt and playful child again. All children love this harmless, delicious 'fruit laxative," snd it never fails to effect a good "Inside" cleansing. Di rections for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle. Keep it handy in your home. A lit tle given today saves a sick child to morrow, but get the genuine.

Many -ways of winning the war have been suggested, but in all probability H will be found that victory can be won only by fighting for it. The same thought seems to have entered into the mind of the enemy. His air and -U-boat campaigns have been compara tively failures. His program of en compassing the downfall of Russia has had no effect In the direction of ending the war. Grabbing all the eastern territory will not bring a tri umph of Teutonic arms. After all it Is men and guns and ammunition that count. John Redmond, best, known, best beloved, and most skilful of Irish leaders since the days of Parnell. was not privileged to see. home rule for Ireland, for which he fought so long and so bravely and so successfully hut the day of its achievement seems near at hand. It probably will be one of the fruits of the war, along with a larger measure, of liberty for all races who have preserved their identity and Who have shown themselves worthy of national self-assertion. Verily "a treaty is a mere scrap of paper." Despite the conclusion of peace between the Huns and the Bol aheviki the German armies continue to pcTvance into Russia. The Bol shevik government is being adminis tered in effect from a 'capital on Wheels. Petrograd is reported to be calmly awaiting occupation by the Sermans. Probably its peaceable sur render was a part of Lenine's bargain with the kaiser. In traveling across the country, Americans have become accustomed to loving the hands of their time pieces forward or backward an hour, depending upon the direction in which they were traveling. This year they are called upon' to do the same thing twice while remaining at home. "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." Doubtless He Is Superintending the job of punishing the Huns but He has delegated the actual work to the allies. The daylight saving rule should be a valuable pointer to Doctor Garfield. Why not mark the thermometer 'down In June and up in November"? The country might in this way save, both Ice and coal. The announcement of the settle ment of the long standing fisheries dispute between Canada and the United States calls attention to the fact that these two countries produce aout one-fourth of the recorded fish fcrop of the world. A lecture delivered before a class in the educational de partment of the National City Bank f New Tork shows that the United States now leads the world In Its fish output and that the waters of Canada aid the United States in combination supply over $150,000,000 worth of fish per annum, out of a world recorded total of slightly less than $500,000,000. I The importance of taking out war risk insurance cannot be too strongly Impressed upon the minds of enlisted men, as 'has recently been illustrated. Pvt. Andrew Jensen of the marine ecrps, stationed in Cuba, took out t 0,000 worth of war risk Insurance oh the morning of February g, 1918. Ill favor of his mother. He died at TJ15 p. m. the same day.

If the matter of comparisons. Indiana ufnl Georgia may be considered to gether, since they are sc nearly alike !i population, wealth ahd natural re- sources. Indiana took nearly eighty one and a half millions of the second liberty loan; Georgia took slightly less than twenty-three millions less, in fact, than the District of Columbia, which as a whole is scarcely mpraj than twice as populous as the city of Atlanta. THE RACE WITH THE U-BOATS. The British admiralty has made public figures showing that losses of shipping by allied' and neutral coun tries since the war began approxi mate 12,000,000 tons, about double the output for the same period. This represents a net loss of about 6,000, 000 tons, which has been made up to a considerable extent by the taking over of enemy and neutral ships. The figures are for the period ended with December and before American ship yards had begun greatly to affect con ditions. The situation is not so bad as might have been supposed. In the race between the submarines and the shipyards, the U-boats are still laps ahead. The undersea pirates are sinking ships much faster than Americans are building them, and faster than all the enemies of Ger many are building them. This unfa vorable record is not going to stand. We can increase the volume and speed of our ship production, and we are go ing to do so. But the race is being run on un equal terms. A ship that is six months in course of construction may be sunk by a torpedo in six minutes. We may not build vessels as fast as the U-boats are sinking them now. Real and per manent relief can come thru our counter-offensive against the submarines. Great Britain recently said official ly that U-boas were being destroyed as fast as the Germans were building them. It is known that during the next few months Improved devices will be used in attacking enemy subma rines. v" The logical assumption is that the Germans soon will be losing sub marines much faster than they can make them. When that stage ot the race Is reached, the outlook will be bright for. a victory by the shipbuild- rs. American ajid British naval authori ties predict that the U-fcmt will cease to be a factor in the war in July or August. If the hoped-for results can be obtained by that time, we shall win the war without disaster to any of our allies. We shall, that is, if all concerned pull together and make un- preceuenieo. enorts to build more ships, and to build them as quickly possible. The construction of ships from cement and sand leads the Los An geles Times, to remark that hitherto "we have had a fleet in the abstract and now we, are to have one in the concrete." WOME3T AND THE WAR. One'of the results of the war is that it has-set women farther on the road to complete emancipation from tra dition and unequal laws than a cen tury of agitation could have done. In England she has been given the fran chise and equal suffrage thraout the Union is in sight in this country. Women are entering many occu pations for which they have been hitherto regarded as. totally unfitted and they are commanding wages far in. excess of those paid to men in sim ilar occupations before the war. There are now in England over a million women working on munitions. They have undertaken work in every industry which has any bearing on munitions. Outside the machine shops their work is very largely laboring work, and they have undertaken la boring in every industry and under the worst possible conditions, even such conditions as exist in blast fur naces, acid works, iron and steel plants, etc. For all simple repetition work it has been found that women need no training at all, but for the more high ly skilled work on howitzers, aero planes, engines, etc., the minister of munitions has had to help the em ployers by equipping training schools. By far the greater part of the women on that work have been trained in the factories themselves, but thV smaller factories have found considerable dif ficulty in doing their own training, and in many factories there is too lit tle work of this nature' on which wo men can gradually acquire skill. The ministry Has, therefore, established two classes of training establishments training schools attached to various technical colleges that exist In most industrial centers, and factories taken over by the ministry equipped as in structional plants. They do actual munition work in these training es tablishments. They do not attempt to give general (raining, but they give specialized training on a specific type of machine, and in that way the wo men acquire a considerable degree of skill in a period of from six to eight weyks. At the beginning of the employment of women in 1915. practically all em ployers in England looked upon the introduction of a woman into a ma chine shop as beingvone of the hor rors of war, but nothing has been so remarkable as the change in the atti tude of the manufacturers towards the employment of women. Now if any question arises as to the employment of a woman or an unskilled man, no employer will hesitate to employ the woman. She has been found r-to be quicker in acquiring skill and is far better and faster than the type of man left in the factories now.

Washington, D. C, March 19. Mu nicipal forests in America may be one result of the movement for the use of wood as fuel, which has been suc cessfully launched by the forest serv ice, and has already saved thousands of tons of coal. The cut-a-cord propaganda has been taken up by state fuel adminis trators, state foresters, directors of ag ricultural stations, county agents and schools of forestry. State, cty and county committees have been formed to promote the cutting of wood lor use as fuel. Whole towns have literally gone back to the woods. Near Wil- liamstown. Mass.. recently a great wood cutting bee was held, at which business men, college professors and students shouldered axes and plunged thru deep snowdrifts to cut firewood. In North Carolina society folk have fund a new sport in felling trees and cutting them up into stove lengths. SomD towns In North Carolina have municipal wood plies of enormous size. School children are gathering fire wood in Rock Creek park near Wash ington. At Charlotte, N. C, soldiers are chopping wood and military trucks are hauling it to town. The Yankee is again an axeman; the generous woodpile of pioneer America has achieved a sudden recrudescence. This does not mean that valuable timber or shade trees are being sac rificed as fuel. Every bit of timber land contains dead and down wood, inferior species and stunted trees, the removal of which will benefit' the for est. Neither is it claimed that the use of wood as fuel is a complete solution of the fuel problem. Factories can not profitably use wood altho several large establishments in Massachusetts have done so rather than shut their doors. Large cities, generally speak ing, cannot make extensive use of wood as fuel, because its bulk con gests transportation; altho Washing ton, Atlanta and other sizeable places have used much wood this winter. The -important place of wood as fuel is found in the small towns and rural communities. There is scarcely one of these east of the Mississippi, according to Mr. Hawes oT the forest service, which could not supply all or most of its fuel for household use from the surrounding woods. In the northeastern states there is a rural population of 20,000,000 persons who annually consume about 18,000,000 tons of coal. This is the coal that the cut-a-cord movement might save, and it is saving much of It. Opposition is not well founded. There will be a market next winter for everv ton of coal mined In America, (and a crying. nea ror more. Thie return to wood as fuel is the natural result of a coal scarcity, and scientists say that in the future we must turn -more and more to the woods for heat. For wood will con stantly replace itself if intelligently used. It is said the quick-growing tropical forests alone could supply the world with fuel. The end of the coal Supply, on the other hand, is in sight. America- must depend more and more upon her forests in the future. i Professional foresters and conserva tionists are hoping that this lesson will be driven home by the present emergency, that the American people will arrive at an appreciation of the value of their forests. The logical outcome of such an appreclatiSn would be the establishment of mu nicipal forests in America, similar to those maintained in Europe, and it is hoped that some enterprising city will make sure its fuel supply for the pe riod of the war by establishing such a forest forthwith. Many Swiss and German towns own forest lands. The city of Zurich. Switzerland, for example, has had a municipal forest for four hundred years. These European municipal forests are profitable. In some of the towns they pay all the expenses of local government, so that the Inhab itants are tax free. In addition to this, they furnish playgrounds for the people, assure them of a fuel sup ply, and often protect the source of the city's water. The development of municipal for ests in the United States would not be at all difficult. Many cities already own areas of wild land purchased for the protection of water supply, which would need only the services of an ex pert forester to develop them' into paying forests. Rock Creek park and adjacent lands near Washington would make an excellent municipal forest. Plans for their conversion to that use have been drawn by Mr. Ben ton MacKaye of the forest service. Such use would not interfere with the park as a pleasure ground, but would merely conserve and utilize its timber resources. During next winter, the forest serv ice expects that ten million tons of coal will be saved by the use of wood as fuel. It is now working to keep togethea the various organizations which have done such good work in wood-cutting this winter, and is en couraging the cutting of firewood dur ing the gummer. The banks in Tal bot county, Maryland, have adopted an excellent plan to this end. They are lending the farmers money, and accepting cut wood as security, at the rate of one dollar per cord, which is about the cost of cutting. These loans are made to reliable persons on the signed order of the local fuel com mittee when It is known that the wood has been cut. In this .way the farmer can get immediately the money for his lat(pr, and is assured ot, a market for the wood next winter- while the community is building up a targe mei reserve, i nis county (nor mally burns 25,000 tons of cal. It expects to cut 33,000 cords of wood to take the place of this.

All those having wood to be cut gave their names; a thousand dollars was loaned without interest by a local bank, the note being signed by seventy citizens. At 4 o'clock the fol lowing morning, woodsmen, teams and trucks were busv in the forests; before noon the wood: was being cut into stove lengths at the municipal wood yard; and the same afternoon it was delivered to consumers For small towns and rural com munities to' begin now providing themselves with a wood fuel reserve for next winter is not only patriotic but prudent. The coal shortage next winter will be at least as bad as dur- f ing the past winter; it is not- im probable that an embargo- will be -declared o coal to all communities having an adequate wood supply within reach.

Mark C:32-56. Bread, the Old-Xew Problem.. "Food will 'win the war!" shout the bill-boards at us. Even America is slowly w&kinj? up to a. realization, of the fact that bread is the basic fac tor in the world struggle. Nobody ever gets far away from the bread prob lem. In Russia, as one travels about, he notices that all conversations are interspersed with the word "klet," or bread. Breadlines, long queues of cold and weary women, are- the ulti mate political, factor in other coun tries besides Russia. High and low, spiritual and worldly, ignorant and learned, all quickly subordinate every interest to concern for Isrcad; Just as did the crowd who thronged about Jesus by the shores of tne Lake of Galilee. Most interesting of all "bread lines is that horde of more than five thou sand hungry persons who were lined up and fed on a hillside overlooking the Sea of Galilee by the great Naza rene teacher, two thousand years ago. Picturesque, Impressive, moving, mir aculous the scene has gripped the imagination of painter, student and people, even as it laid such strong hold of the minds of all four evangelists that they have in common only this one of all the miracles of Jesus. No Time for Tears. As the soldier is given leave from the trenches and the hurried, har ried, overwrought business man of to day seeks a few days of rest at moun tain or seaside, so Jesus and His fol lowers planned a quiet "retreat", for themselves. One reason was that the twelve had Just returned from a tax ing missionary tour of Galilee. Their Leader had said, "Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a. while; for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat." The importance of quiet times in the life of His servants was clearly perceived by Jesus; and these words are still in force. There was another reason why Jesus sought seclusion from the clam orous, uncomprehending rabble. A great sorrow had come upon Him, an event of deep significance to His life and to His ministry. His kinsman and i herald, John the Baptist, had been decapitated by Herod. What this meant to the sensitive spirit of Mary's Son even a dull imagination can partially comprehend. He had lost His great witnesser and His friend. Because of Him John had died. This great sorrow over-shadowed His spirit, making of slight im portance the fact that He, too, had to ,flee from the jealous Herod's jur isdiction. As a wounded deer seeks the dens est wood, so the smitten heart of Jesus sought solitude in His grief. Right here entered another duty, and a higher; for even the Son of God may not cherish His own sorrow above the world's need. True grief is so holy that it dare not be selfish. Ah, the glory of the brave smiles and tireless service to the cause of those r hfiiia Inct il lin r nnsa at t lin frnntl 'Hta rrr JVn r Vi r-t Via ii hpn nrnvixl t A hirrdAnd heart had been proved to oe ox uch helpfulness to men s var- tinnrfs Thoir mntivn -wne col -fi ai but their want was real. The mira-1 cles had brouarht to each man a hint of possible succor for his own peculiar needs. The neighborhood crowd was augmented by the hosts of pilgrims en raute to the Passover at Jerusalem, for the fame of the Wonder-worker had spread widely. Bo eager were the masses to see and hear Him thai thej ran afoot around the head of the lake, which He was crossing by boat. The Compassionate One. That spectacle was irresistible. AH thought of His iron grief and of the needs of himself and followers was submerged, m the mind of Jesus, but the sicknesses, griefs and ignorance of this claimant host. So He taught them and healed them unti eventide. There is a great deal of nebulous humanitarianism in the world today. Some persons would offer it as a Sub stitute for Christianity. Let it be re membered that it was in Christ that this spirit was perfectly manifested! and that even today it is best found among those who bear His name. Where His spirit does not permeate and dominate, the great works of charity and benevolence will be looked for in vain. Heathenism builds no asylums, hospitals or soup kitchens; nether does agnosticisms or infidelity. An evangelist was preaching the gospel in San Francisco's Barbary Coast. Among nis hearers was -a well known infidel, who challenged the evangelist to meet him in a pub- lie debate in some hall.

"Give ye them to cat" is the way He turned this big re- sponsibility over to His disciples, Similarly, Americans are called upon to modify their rations that their Allies may have food. The resultant incidents were a cap ital instance ol organized charity. First, 'then waa the Master's part: He provided the moUve, the direction, the thanksgiving and the spirit of economy, holding the others up to their duties. In the great scheme of present-day co-operative benevolence, Jesus represents the spirit of love and compassion: the sustaining forces that makes all else possible. Tne second party in this organized relief were 'the disciples. They had the pravtical work to do; they were the ways and means committee. All the moving to and fro was theirs. The most efficient member. appears to have been that quiet mffn, Andrew, who had a knack of producing the person whom Jesus needed. It was the disciples who arranged the "bread line," seating the company in orderly rows on th grass, and who carried out the actual work of distribution, and later of the collection o the frag ments. Mney were tne essenuai mediums of the whole charity. No convention, church or organization woulu "go" if it were made up of speechmakers and preachers, and no humble workers. Then, a vital link in the chain of relief was the small boy. "Only a boy," yet thru him .five thousand were fed. His provident mother had put up a lunch of five flat barley cakes, with somesfish relish. What a re markable boy he was or, rather, what exciting sights he had been hear ing that he had not gobbled up that lunch long before noon! Wouldn't you like to hear the story of this day's events as he afterwards rehearsed it to his family, his neighbors, and, later, to his own children and grand children? A Miracle of Multiplication. Every year we witness the wonder of a grain jot wheat made into many, plus stalks and roots and leaves. We call that, and the subsequent pro cesses in mill and kitchen that pro duce the bread we eat, "natural," and such a quick increase as went on in this present instance, when five loaves fed five thousand, a "miracle." In both cases the agent is the same; and shall not God be permitted His own way of working? Because of the extent of the "sign" wrought, and the number of persons affected, and the multitude of wit nesses, this miracle is commonly con sidered one of the greatest performed by Christ. Note, however, as com mentators have, pointed out, it was not a miracle of new creation, but of mul tiplication. "Jesus increased, trans formed, healed, restored; He never created. The work of creation is fin ished, the work of providence con tinues." v So outstanding and marvelous an act as this feeding of five thousand scarcely needs comment. It still speaks its own messages. It was born of Christ's compassion for men's need: divine power haa ever been ex erted for human service. Let the man who is tempted to think that the Lord is too high to be concerned for his temporal affairs remember the miracle of the loaves and fishes. It was, also a "sign," one more attesta tion of the deity of Jesus. Incidentally, it conveyed practical and needed suggestions. There was the "grace before meat, which ac companied the miracle. Too many Christian tables are unblessed and unthankful. Again, the whole pro cedure was orderly. God always works so. There is warrant in this incident to the modem organized forms of religion. "Let all things be done decently and in order." And, finally, and most practically, here was a lesson in thrift to an im provident company of people. "A les son newly being learned today. Of the fragments which Temained, enough Wa3 gathered to fill the wal lets of the twqlise. The Lord's giv ings are always to overflowings, but He permits ho waste. Jesus could multiply loaves at will yet He care fully saved the food left over from the feast- The pinch of today is a bitter reminder to many of the waste of yesterday.- Thrift is not a denial of faith, but an expression of it.

U.earth, slips from man's possession thru the flood-gates of intemperance. Self-control in trifles trains In self- control in crises. There is such thing as the habit of mastery. When we accustom ourselves to ttanv the "body in lesser matters we. are surelv storing up power for victory in some great temptation. On the other hand, it is impossible to yield to all the impulses of self in things that seem of small importance, and then one day suddenly rise to conquest when a great struggle is on. We are prepar ing today for tomorrow's victory or defeat. A Romantic Sacrifice. BY VINCENT G. PERRY. (Copyright, 1918, by McClnre Newspaper Syndicate.) Sandford Ross took his coat angrily from Scales, the butler, and waved aside the latter's attempt to assist him. He was angry more angry than Scales had ever seen him, and that was one way of venting it. The way he jabbed his arms into the sleeves had a disastrous effect on the lining, but if he heard the rip he did not heed it. He shoved his hat to the back of his head and, with rapid strides, made for the door. Scales was there before him and held it wide open and as he strode out he didn't even notice the butler's chuckle of amusement. After the door had closed Scales sat down to enjoy his laugh he had been suppressing. He and Miss Geraldine have been havin' a tiff again, but it's a little worse than usual," he chuckled. "I wonder what new idea she has been floutin' on him, now." As Sandford walked his anger abated. By the time he reached home he was able to see the humorous side of it. "What a dear, little ridiculous thing she is, "he muttered thoughtfully. "If some of those ideas of hers don't get her into trouble I'll be surprised. What if something did happen as she wants it to? Thi idea." That started him on a cheerful vein of thought. and by the time he was ready for bed he was chuckling more than Scales had in the morning. The week passed and Geraldine did not hear from Sandford. She told her self she w-as glad she didn't. Bhe hoped he would take her answer for final, but of course he wouldn't. She was going to live her life as she wanted to. She was going to do something big in the world fer her family what it was she hadn't the least idea, for the O'Connors were one of the wealthiest families in the city and there was very little anyone could do for them. She Was skipping thru the most interesting part of a novel Just where the heroine had sacrificed her jewels to buy bread for her starving father and crippled brother when her own father came into the room. As she glanced up she noticed a trou bled look on his face and the thought flashed across her mind that perhaps the opportunity she had been waiting for h.d come, it naa. "My dear," her father began-, sit ting down beside her nervously. have a favor to ask you a very groat favor, one that will change your whol4 life' "Yea. father?" she gasped, for althn lonired for. it was unexpected, "I I I" he hesitated as if in doubt, but finally went on. "I would likA vou to marry." "Is that the favor?" she asked in disTLDnointment. "Yos. that is the favor, and it makes it harder for you to grant It when I tell you that now you believe you don't 'love the man I have chosen and that I must not tell you his name until the rtav of your marriage. It will spare me a great unhappiness if you make tnis marriage aacnuw vmtrwif to Tn v wishes. Gcraldine's eyes glowed with pleas ure. After all it was her oppor tunity. Now she would be ahie to do as many of her beloved heroines had done and make the greatest sac rifice" of all. "I will do anything for you, father anvih-ns." It was a speech from one of her popular novels, but she AiA not realise it. But being a martyr was not the thine it appeared in novels, Geraldine began to think after she had become accustomed to the Ideaof it. As the day approached for herHo marry the man she had never seen, she began to wonder if she hadn't been too hasty in offering herself for the sacrifice. A girl of eighteen wad too young to be married, anyway. Surely the heroines in the books had not given up lovers tlike Sandford. She loved him, after all. She had thought she hated him when he told her that reading trashy novels was spoiling her and( that if he had his way he wouldn't allow thenj to be printed. Then he had said her ideas about sac rifices were unreal and that she would never be able to make one and was only wasting her time thinking about them. He had gone away angry on that occasion and had never returned. He had taken her "no" for final, there was no doubt about that. Oh, why had she been so silly so like the mere school girl she was. or rather had been, for she was all changed now! Sandford was rich and could ehave helped her father out of money dif ficulties as well as this strange man who somehow had got his clutches on their family honor. It was too late to appeal to the man she loved, tho. she decided, and the realization of that only increased her unhappiness. As the day drew nearer and nearer things looked more nopeiess. She had tried to find consolation in her novels but had thrown them away in disgust. Sandford was right they were trashy things. Only a girl such as she had been would have read them and she was glad she was changed The night before her wedding day arrived. Her clotnes were oeautnui. mother and father Sid not seem con eemed about her. They appeared to consider the affa.r a wonderful one for her instead of a great unhappiness. Surely they could see she was lin happy, altho she had carried out the heroine's role to a finish and hidden it from them. Oh, if there was only someone she could tell her troubles to and .receive comfort from! Then was someone, the only one who would listen sympathetically, and no matter what he or anyone else thought, sne ku sroine to tell him all. she flecideo. ana went-co tne teiepiioiio wiv courage failed her. It was a very plaintive and meek voice that Sandford Ross heard over the wire. "Please come. Sandford. I want you," was all it said, but he rec ognized it as Qeraldine's, and that was enough. He arrived, at the O'Connor home In record time. She did not mind when he took her in his arms and she cried out her troubles on his shoulder. "Oh, I am so unhappy, and being a heroine is the worst thing I ever tried to do! I hate sacrifices and I was never mean. for a martyr!" she wailed. Ot coure you weren t, dear, and l knew it all along, but you've been a little brick.-' he comforted. "If I had known you would have taken it so seriously I would not have allowei your father to play this trick on you. I am all to blame, 'Jerry dear. It is all my fault." "Your fault, Sandford?" Sha stopped sobbing and looked at him in wondert Yes.

Two fibs, father, she corrected. smiling thru her teara. "You said I had never met him, and it would save you. from a great unhappiness." So it will." her father smiled. knowingly. "I knew you loved Sand ford, and it would have made me unhappy if you had rejected him be cause of a silly little notion about heroines and such things. But you have been a heroine, Jerry!" Not much of one." It was sur prising how quickly her appearance had changed, for she Was smiling radiantly. "Oh, wouldn't I have looked foolish when I found you at the altar waiting for me, Sandford?" She was able to laugh for the first time in days. 'Would you have Then I am glad I came tonight. Tomorrow you will look wonderful the way you always look. Oh, I hope so," she said enthusias tically as she rang for- her maid. "I will send for my dress. I haven't really had a good look at it.

The isolated city of Nishapur, in Persia, was tha home of the Persian best known of all his nation to the western world Omar, surnamed Khayyam, or the Tentmaker, author of the Kuhaiyat. The poet is still one of the great historic figures in his ancient city, but he is remembered there not as a poet or a tentmaker, but as aage philosopher, astronomer and mathematician. Nishapur lies in a barren upland plitih, manys days' overland journey from the nearest railroad point. It is encircled by mountains, most of which are low and barrem The northern range, however, rises to a considerable height, and thru many months of the year s peaks are white with snow. The lower slopes have jr'curious red dish tint, due to iron in the earth, so that rare and delicate color combina tions are formed at dawn and twilight. Looking southward from his city. Omar saw a level, featureless plain, depressingly treeless, save for here and there a clump of slender poplars. The winter turned it to a lifeless gray; in the summer, pitiless sunlight and choking dust tormented the eyes. Only for a brief spring Beason did the fresh green of growing crops, the cool mists that rose after the early rains, and the rainbow gleams of pale color from the mountains lend the vista a melancholy charm. Beyond the plain rose another row of low hills, and beyond that, he knew, stretched the endless desert. Each year a few weeks of Joy ami beauty; between mountain and desert a few miles of half-kindly man-tilled earth bits of respite that hardly broke the hostile round of nature it is easier to understand the defiant pessimism of the Rubaiyat after seeing Nishapur. Omar's own careef had many of the elements of Oriental romance about it. According to the local story, he was one of three friends who pledged eternal blood-bratherhood when they were boys In school. One of the other two became Grand Vizier of the Seljuk Turks, ruler of Nishapur, and raised Oman to high honor. The third rose to hold that office of mystery and terror which carried the title of "Old Man of the Mountain" the ruler of the clan of assassins, fanatics who killed In secret a( the bidding of their chief. This man, Hasan Kabbah, thought little of his oath, for In a struggle with the Grand Vizier he or dered the latter slain. Irff.. w E0U3EEQLE? SHUTS Candies for Soldier.

Present Position of Allies Menace to Vital City. BY J. W. T. MASON. New York, March 22. If the Ger man forward movement west of Cam brai is meant by von Hindenburg to be a major offensive, the German general staff has selected the very area along the west front where a break thru the allies' lines would count least for Germany. The district behind the British posi tions was voluntarily abandoned by von Hindenburg exactly a year ago because he did not consider it worth the large number of men its defense required. The Germans at that time moved back to the Hindenburg line, part of which they lost to the British last November. If von Hindenburg is now seriously determined to regain the territory he surrendered without a blow last year, he has become the severest critic of his own strategy. A purpose such as this would sug gest that von Hindenburg has become fatally erratic in his judgments. There is no major objective in the line c" the present German movement. The direction taken is not toward Paris and it is quite outside the re gion of the direct road to Calais. The Germans have defensive pur poses to serve, however, by their at tempted advance. Von Hindenburg may well believe that the capture ot Cambrai will be attempted by the British when they begin their own major offensive this year. To Protect Cambrai. Cambrai's fall would seriously men ce an important part of the Ger man lines of communication. Ii tne British went a comparatively small distance beyond Cambrai, they might even compel a large German retreat. The British retain strong positions for a Cambrai offensive as the result of their tank victory last November. It is very probable, therefore, that von Hmdnburg wants to regain thes6 positions because he fears their menace to Cambrai. Cambrai s jeop ardy would be a sufficient reason for 5. German advance m force. But, such an advance would have no ob jective beyond a defensive one. If that werj attained, the advance would stop before determined enemy resistance. While thus taking the initiative to defend Cambrai, von Hindenburg might well desire for sentimental reasons and reasons of morale to win back at the same time the lost part cf the von Hindenburg line. This line lieo but short distance west of the Cambrai front. Its recovery by the Germans would add very much to Cambrai's defensive strength, besides flattering von Hindenburg. It may well turn out, therefore, that consid erations of strategy and von Hinden burgs vanity are forcing the Ger mans into an engagement that al ready is provinr a slaughter trap for tnem. HOLD EDNA WALDREN Ixcal Officials Wait Developments in Abandoned Baby Case. No further Steps were" taken today in clearing up the tangle occasioned by the desertion of the baby at the Union Pacific station Tuesday by its mother, Edna Waldren, of Gladstone, Camden county, Missouri. The girl confessed to the sheriff that she was the mother of the child and declared that her uncle, Robert Caldwell, was the father. The sheriff wired to Kansas City and learned that the story told by the girl of her uncle's arrest was true. The uncle was taken to the county seat of Camden county to face trial for being the baby's father, Larimer was informed. Larimer has written to the officials in that county asking if anything can be done in aiding them in the prosecution of the case. Meantime, the mother is being held at the county jail and the baby is being cared for at the county deten tion home.

CAPTURE HUNRAiDERl German Pirate in Pacific Is Taken by U. S. Cruiser. A Pacific Port, March 22. A Ger man raider operating in the Pacific ocean has been captured by a U. S. cruiser and is now being towed to this port, according to a report received here today. The raider is said to be a compara tively small vessel but capable sink ing any merchant ship in the Pacific. It is alleged to have been outfitted from the west coast of Mexico and was manned by an all-German crew. The manner in which it secured clear-' ance papers is not yet known to the United States officials and it is said that already an investigation into this aspect is being conducted by depart ment or justice agents. Weak, Thin People Made Strong and Fat Weak, thin people men or women are nearly alway nervous wrecks; thus con-! elusively proving that thinness, weakness, debility and neurasthenia are almost In variably due to nerve starvation. Feed your nerves and all these symptoms due to nerve starvation will disappear. Eminent specialists state that the best nerve food is an organic phosphate known among druggists as Bitro-Phosphate, a five-grain tablet of which should be taken with each meal. Being a genuine nerve builder and not a stimulant or habit form ing drug, Bitro-Phosphate can be safely taken by the weakest and most delicate ufferer, and the -esult8 following its use are often simply -istoTiishing. Weak, tired people regain strength and vigor; thinness and angularity give way to plumpness and curves, sleep returns to the sleepless, confidence and cheerfulness replace debility and gloom, dull eyes be come bright, and pale, sunken cheeks re gain the pink glow of health. Bitro-Phos-pbate, the ue of which is inexpensive, also wonderfully promotes the assimilation of food, so much so that many people report marked gains of weight in a few weeks. CAUTION Although Bitro-Phosphate Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness, it should not. owing to its remarkable flesh- growing properties, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh. put Tull It is sold in this city by v -Mcr arland, ag- goner-Goodrich and all good druggists. goner- ioodricn Advprtisemenr.

TRUMP CARD LOST

Trptzky Based Russia's Deliv esance on Revolt in Germany. Bui Premier Lenine, His Co worker, Tipped Off His Hand. SUPPRESSED BY HUN MILITARY j Trtotzkj's Glowing Propaganda iipped in Bud by Germans. In ide Story of Bold Undertak ing Reaches Washington. BY" ROBERT J. BEXDEfi. (Copyright, 1918, by the United Press.) Washington. March 22. The bold effprt of Leon Trotzky, former Bol shevik commissary for foreign af fairs, to launch in the Teuton nations a Revolution which would save the Russian democracy, has just been un folded in all its dramatic details to tha United States government. ft is a story of Trotzky's trump card in world diplomacy which failed be cause Nikolai Lenine, his co-leader, 'tifcped off" his hand. Trotzky staked his all on a revolu tion In Germany. He refused to yield to j Lenine's counsel for a separate plunder pact abject surrender of Russian rights with the Teutons. He prolonged the meetings at Brest Li$vsk as he laid the foundation' for his! last play. Lenine let him work to Ithe end he sought. But the German military authori tiel were informed, of the program. Onf the date set for the great effort January 25 Lenine did not accom pany Trotzky to Brest-Litovsk. He awhited results in Petrograd. But It Was Suppressed Everywhere. Trotzky launched broadcast his ap peal to the German people. It was chicked in its prime by the military authorities. It never saw the light among the soldiers. It was suppressed everywhere. But it found its way into some parts of Germany and Austria. Wha(ther it was the cause or not, it is significant that the riots and strikes in Germany and Austria followed shdtftly afterward. But the military were in control. TT$tzky saw his effort fail. There was nothe great response he expected. He couldn't understand. lenine, however, understood. When Trotsky returned to Petrosrad admit ting failure, Lenine.s hand was stdrfngthened. His counsel was heeded, Russia submitted to Germany's terms ana Trotzky, humiliated, resigned. Text of Trotzky's Appeal. Bwt Trotzky's apeal to Germany will go down in history as one of the most unique documents of the war. The United Press today is able to present thefofficial text of the appeal in con nection with the circumstances sur rounding its issue. Here it is in part, launched by wireless and thru Bol sheyik agents, after Count von Hert ling had announced Germany s terms of peace: TBrest-Litovsk. The German nation remains silent and only for this rea sW could a feeble old man. Count HeJtling, appear before the chief com mission of the German, reichstag and declare himself able to lead the Ger man people thru the Red sea to a gen cral peace. "Hertling spoke about peace, but first he wanted to prove by reference to a few facts that Germany, with its 67,000,000 inhabitants, among whom are hardly any illiterate, had devel oped a wonderfully perfect technique in these three and a half years of war and that, in proficiency and moral value, it surpasses the other nations of Europe. "And during this time, in which the costs of war the logical result of a miutr1m carried to extremes rest exclusively on the shoulders of the people,while every household mourns at least one of its members; while the nation with its blood feeds a mul titude of war profiteers, who chaffer away the tears of the poor for strings of pearls for their wives. During this time of mise.ry, who speaks in the name of the people? Calls Hertling a Hypocrite. "A Jesuit, over 70 years of age, a professor of philosophy, conservative from top to toe, a friend of the junk ers and of the priests, he dares to doubt the love of peace of the Russian proletariat and, so doing, he reveals his whole hypocrisy. The German chancellor knows well that the gov ernment of the Russian laborer loves and wants peace above all, he also knows that this government can again lead .the Russian people into war if any danger should threaten the Rus sian revolution. When he pretends to be skeptical as to the love of peace of the Russian government he does so only to divert the attention of the German people from the fact that the German gov ernment offered tmacceptable terms of peace to the Russian revolution. Hertling did not mention a single one of our protests against the German conditions. By no single word did he speak of the indignation which these peace proposals called forth in Rus sia. Change Peace Propaganda. "The imperial chancellor wanted to make the same speech which, since 1915, every German chancellor has made. The fundamental idea of these speeches is this: 'The German empire in the con sciousness of its power, proposes a "just peace" to its enemies, but the wicked enemies refuse to conclude this peace and this proves that the enemies are solely responsible for the prolongation of the war.' "When formerly the German gov ernment spoke of the 'just' peace, those -who followed the German pol icy knew at once how mendacious a foundation this policy was based, but the Germani people in those days had confidence in its government and cred ited its explanations. "But now this fairy tale has for ever lost its meaning, for lately when POST T0AST1ES i 00 Save Fuel Wheat Best of Corn Foods -says C&oW&( the German peace terms were made known they read: "The people of Courland, "Lithu ania and Poland are to be made slaves of the German junkers; the Russian nation must pay war indemnity, thus causing this poor land to bear the whole burden of German imperialism. Allies Not Deceived. "If the Gernrm peace proposals found no echo among the masses in France, Italy and England, it was simply and solely because these na tions had long ago seen thru the shameful construction the German government is capable of putting on the express.on 'a just peace.' The Trotzky statement then goes on to say: Count Czernin's attitude toward the Belgians in his aims address and Hertling's speech later, he says, will "sow suspicion among the masses." Fears Austrian Proletariat. The intentional ignoring of the rest by the Austrian peoples against Ger many's peace terms "shows how un tenable are the arguments on which they rest." Trotzky says. "If Count Hertling does not wish to see the situation as it really is, or pretends that he does not see it, this will hardly banish the dissatisfaction of the proletariat nor destroy the want in Austria. This dissatisfaction and this want of the Austrian prole tariat will find an expression so much the stronger when it becomes known how much the German government fears the influence which the Aus trian proletariat exerts upon that of Germany. Approach the Ides of March. "This is sufficiently proved by the muzzling policy of the German gov ernment against the Russian press in regard to occurrences in Austria which were everywhere passed over in silence. The chancellor spoke as if it were still December 25, 1917, in stead of which it is January 25, 1918, and behind us lie the great events. And in Austria we approach the ides of March."

The next day, according to the deserters, eleven Germans were killed and thir ty wiunded while taking out the dead. American intelligence officers are nclined to doubt the story regarding 900 projectors. American informa tion is that only seventy-five were used. An American patrol last night en tered the enemy first line and re mained there six hours but did not see ?jiy of the enemy. It is reported that the Germans recently naa con structed trenches that are concrete halfway up inside. Constructing Concrete Trenches. Great activity continues behind the enemy lines. Within the last four days .1 number of rock crushers and concrete mixers have been brought up and there arc signs that the Germans intend to construct a number of new pill boxes over the 'American front. Several trains of material have ar rived at towns in the German lines during the last twenty-four hours. Today's reports say that three Ger man airplanes flew over various parts of the American front line at day break and fired their machine guns on our positions. Their efforts, how ever, were without results. MAKE WORK PLEASANT Boys in Working Reserve Do Not Have to Go Against Their Will. Boys in the state who enroll in the federal boys' working reserve need have no fear of being "drafted" for labor in a locality "in which they do not wish to work, it was stated today by W. L. Porter, state director. Por ter has received several letters.-asking about this. The director today laid special em phasis on the fact that the reserve Is purely a volunteer organization. If a boy is working in his home county he will not be asked to go elsewhere. Enrollment in the reserve which was scheduled to end tomorrow has been extended to cover next week. Porter says. This will give many boys who were uncertain about the working of the organization a chance to enroll. SALVEF0R PEASANTS Lenine May Take Agricultural Post to Win Over Farmers. BY JOSEPH SHAPLEN. Petrograd, March 19 (night)-. It is regarded as probable here that Niko lai Lenine, premier in the Bolshevik government, will shortly assume the agriculture portfolio in the cabinet, believing the improvement of the peasants' condition to be a sure way of defeating the influence of the "left" element. Former Marine Commissary Diben ko of the Bolsheviki has been arrest ed and charged with attempting to form a forcible opposition to the rat ification of the peace treaty with Ger many. It is believed that in view of the continued advance of the Germans to ward the capital, the government may remove to Samara or Niji-Novgorod. Street Riot In St. Louis. St. Louis. March 22.

In an ef fort to induce the people to cut down the volume of parcel post sent to troops in France the postoffice de partment today issued a list of things which the- soldiers are able to pur chase at the army canteens abroad.

The statement concludes by calling public attention to the fact that "ev ery pound and every ton of parcel post which is sent from the United States but which can be bought by the soldiers in France forces off the ships ammunition and other needed war materials."

SAYS ACID STOMACH CAUSES INDIGESTION Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Sours the Food and Forms Gases. Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or -rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper acidity, meaning, there is an excess of hydro-chloric acid fn the stomach which prevents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus every thing eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we f eel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas. we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa ter before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing, and furthermore, to continue this for a week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stim ulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent results. Adv. GETS HERRITT TRACT Knights and ladies of Security Now Have 815 Acres for Home.

Washington, March 22. An exten sive survey of the location of war in dustries now being mace by the war industries board and several other government departments may result shortly in the transfer of many gov ernment contracts from the industrial ly congested east to the west and south, where factories are working under less pressure, labor is not quite bo scarce and railroad transportation conditions are better. The many ramifications of the sub ject have recently been discussed, it was learntd- today, between representatives- of the war industries board, railroad administration, treasury ship ping board and the labor department Attempts are being made to formu late a definite policy which probably will be announced soon. The neces sity lor an eariy decision is empha sized by the fact that hundreds of contracts placed last summer soon after the United States entered the war will expire in April and May and general redistribution must occur. Scores of manufacturers representa tives in Washington looking for con tracts and members of congress from Ithe middle west and south are urging a gradual shifting -of- the industrial j burden to their regions.

Speaking in defense of the food and fuel ad ministration in the senate today, Sena tor Jones of New Mexico, exonerated both of blame for the recent sugar and coal shortage. He declared their price-fixing policies had savd the country from "chaos and confusion." Senator Jones, who was a member of the manufacturers' subcommittee which investigated the sugar and coal shortages, spoke in reply to Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, who recently denounced price fixing as a tanure, blamed the fuel scarcity on Adminis trator Garfield and asserted that the sugar shortage was largely artificial. "Let these organizations alone," urged Senator Jones. "If they need more power, give it. Don't badger or heckle them. On the other had, help and encourage them. Let us not say to the world that the affairs of our government at this time are in in competent hands. To the contrary, let us tell the truth and say to the world that the resources of this country are being successfully mobilized for the purposes -of the .war." Senator Jones resented the Massa chusetts senator's criticism of the fuel administrator as being a "bu reau largelv composed of amateurs,' declaring the fuel and also the food administrator are both well qualified and with the organization they have created are "serving the country sole lv for patriotic reasons." Senator Lodge's speech was referred to as an "example of studied and de liberate word lashing, its tendency be ing to bring the entire administration into disrepute." Defends Administration. To refute Senator Lodge's statement that no actual sugar shortage existed Senator Jones said that the agricul tural department reports show that on August 31, 1917, sugar stocks -were 125,000 tons below normal. In defending the administration's sugar price-fixing policy he said it was difficult to conceive that anything re sulted other than a benefit to the great mass of American consumers and without injury to the producers." Taking up the coal situation Senator Jones said: "The activities of the fuel adminis tration from the very beginning have been directed toward supplying the ex traordinary demand for coal on. the part of the government itself and those branches of industry which the government has called into war serv ice. With the entire coal output in adequate to supply the demands of the. country it has been necessary of course to make readjustments to sup ply the war demand. "It is my belief that the question as to the causes of a shortage of coal and the high prices can be answered with one word, transportation; had transportation been unlimited I think there can be no doubt but what the ordinary machinery for distribution would have expanded and met all demands."

To Dafflten Hair Apply Sage Tea Look Young! Bring Back Ita Natural Color, Gloss and Attractiveness. Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur added, will turn pray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Jusf a few applications will prove a revela tion if your hair is fad in g, streaked or gray. Mixing the .fege Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way Is to a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other in gredients. Ah:le wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain youthful appearance and attractiv ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeths Sage and sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just damp en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morn ing Mil gray hairs have disappeared, and. after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
