not, II will be the center Of the piv-
otaI operations planned to follow any
further retreat ef the allied left wing.
There 10 no doubt that the Germans
plan a siege. Their great thirty ton
krupp guns which were 80 serviceable
in smotherino out the Namur forts,
are being moved south. Instead OF
horses the Germans are using enorn-
Gus traction engines to bring the guns
forward. The French artillery ex.
perts, however, profess to believe
these guns will prove utterly inef-
fective against even the outer RING Of
Notifications. The fact that su-
preme effort made Tuesday and Wed
nesday to erumpIe up the allied left
and drive It back on the center failed,
has greatly added to the confidence
Of the military experts here. They
declare the Germans brought into
action their entire strength, even
pushing the reserves forward. The
allies moved them down like wheat
with their artillery and rapid fire
guns. The German artillery fire was
excellent and caused heavy casual
ties in the allied ranks but the Ger
man rifle fire was poor. The German
charges were marked with the utmost
heroisr on the part Of the Germans,
but they could not Withstand the with
ering rain Of bullets from the allies
rifles and the artillery. The French
craftsmanship was deadly and whole
companies were wiped out by the fire
from the automatic guns which swept
across the front Of the charging hosts.
II was announced today that one OF
the German avators who have been
flying over the city, was brought
down by the rifle fire from the outer
forts last night. His machine is re.
ported to have been completely
wrecked and he was killed.

NOT A SINGLE WORD.
ny Ed. 1. Keen, United Press stan

Correspond
LONDON, Sept. 3.-Not . single
word regarding conditions at The
front came from the war office today.
A Iaeonic statement issued after
midnight, saying fighting continued,
was the first news made public since
Earl kitchener's review Of Sunday
night. Unlike the Kitchener state
ment, this latest word made no men
ton Of the location Of the present
fighting zone. Because Of this. mill
tary experts agree that the present
battle just north Of Paris may prove
decisive. Should the Germans be
checked before the outer forts Of
Paris are reached, the allies will be
in good position Immediately to az.
sumo the offensive. But even though
the city Is besieeed, II 10 certain that
the allied army will be Withdrawn In
tact.
II the allies can hold only y very
brief period longer, the Russian In
vasIon must operate greatly to their
advantage. The Russian embassy to-
was again operating in eastern Prus.
STA in great numbers and had pene-
trated to a point near the WetehseI
(vIstuia) river.
The embassy again today insisted
that the Russians would be within
striking distance Of Berlin within a
month. It is stated the Austrians
had now been driven back on their
main line Of defenses, and that az a
result, the Russians would be able to
push their Invasion Of Prussia with.
out further delay.
No news has been received here o.
Turkeys attitude. Various runners
that Turkish troops were marching
across the Bulgarian territory to at
tack Greece and others, that, they
planned an assault on Egypt and Rus

bureau says 1t has no official informa-
ton, whatever and the Turkish am

TRY THIS IF YOU
HAVE DANDRUFF
Or Are Bothered With Falling Hair
or Itching Scalp.

There Is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning most, If not all, OF
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of 1t, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all. itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft and
look and feel hundred times better.
If you want to keep your hair look
ing rich, do by all means get rid of
dandruff. for nothing destroys the hair
so quickly. 1t not only starves the hair
and makes it fall out, but it makes it
stringy. straggly, dull, dry, brittle and
lifeless, and everybody notices 1t. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug store.
1t is inexpensive, and four ounces is
all you will need. This simplesrem-
edy has never been known to fall

Both Must Go.

The latest pretense of the LIQUOR in
terests is that the people are making
an awful error in sweeping the rum
traffic out of the country, because
drug habits will take the place OF
drunkenness. It is another sophistry
but serves to emphasize the fact that
the liquor business is at the last ditch.
If this contention that drugs viii re-
place booze were true, the most ardent
prohibitionist would hesitate to make
the exchange. But it is NOT true. In
the first place we have both, now-and
BOTH MUST GO! So, the silly claim
that We must swap one for the other
may as we'll be abandoned. The ma
tional government can suppress the
liquor traffic and the drug traffic, as
it did slavery.
Unless the drug interest is severely
restricted in the sale of all concoctions
containing alcohol and all proprietary
remedies which contain habit-forming
drugs, prohibition organizations will
find that among the now users of al
coholic stimulants they will not have
accomplished much" declares DR..
Chas. B. Towns, who is the leading fig
ure in the campaign to secure federal
legislation restricting the importation
and sale of habit-forming drugs.
DR.. Towne points out that While pro-
hibition prevents the creation of the
drink habit among those not already
addicted to it, the sale of drugs and
so-called patent medicines contain
ing alcohol is serious drawback to
the redemption of the man who has
already become chropic drinker.
Il am sure" says DR.. Towns, that
the bringing about of drastic state and
federal restriction of the importation,
manufacture and dispensing of habit
forming drugs will prove to be of
great benefit to the prohibition cause.
There is no physician anywhere with
any amount of intelligence who does
mot know that no good on earth can
come of the use of alcoholic stimulants.
Where stimulati is needed in medi-
cal practice, there are many other diff
ferent forms of artificial stimulation
that can be used. If there were never
another drop of alcohol distilled or
manufactured, and the world would
be none the worse from a medical
standpoint"
