s most deadly fire upon the German
batteries. Many Of the German guns
are reported to have been silenced and
others are declared to have been with
drawn to escape the accurate fire of
the French heavy guns.
At the extreme northern point of
the line, where the Franco Belgian
troops are engaged in the herculean
task of digging the Germans out of
the sand dunes to the northeast of
Nieuport. the allies, with the assist
ance of the renewed fire of the Brit
ish ships, were reported to have gained
foothold along the beach, where
the Germans had established their
lines.
These operations along the Belgian
littoral are necessarily slow, as the
character of the terrain furnishes the
Germans with natural defensive posi-
tions in great profusion, permitting
them so to maHeuver their forces that
they can retire and execute flanking
movements outside the range of the
vision of the allies. 1t is only by the
use of captive balloons and constant
/ Ieconraisances by airmen that the
allies are able to locate the swiftly
changing positions Of the Germans.
This movement has a peculiarly
definite obiect-the clearing of this
coast corridor and the holding of it
by the allies, to be used as a base
for possible future thanking opera
tions. For this reason the allies are
pressing forward only so far as they
are able to hold definitely the ground
taken. The operations are costly in
point of casualties and the French
corps commander has no mind to lose
more men in retaking lost ground
when the turn of events shall make
this ground essential to the allies of
fensive.

Back to the Soil.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Farms for
the penniless, jobless men of the cit
les are promised by the Forward to
the Land League, which announces
that it has the endorsement of the
departments of agriculture and inte-
rior and labor. The plan is to be
worked from New York first and then
from Chicago. The object of the
league is to make practical applica-
tion of the information collected in
past years by the government on the
two subjects of farming and the un-
employed by bringing the two togeth-
er The league proposes to direct the
organization of a colonization COM
pany which will purchase $4,000 acres
of undeveloped land. 1t is said the
money has been provided. Any man
without a job will be able to go to
work on the tract for board, lodging
and moderate wage. The land will
be divided up into five and ten-acre
tracts and each man to whom tract
is allotted may get COW, seed and
chickens. He will not be required
to make a payment until the farm is
developed. In the end, however, he
will be required to pay for the farm
The plan includes the establishment
of community center, administration
farm and the employment of a super
yising farmer.

TO Increase Army.

New York, Dec. 29.-"Tn February
Germany will add 100000 men to her
armies in the field" said Richard
Wackerow, until recently United
States consul at Breslau, on arriving
from Europe. He added:
"Earthworks have been built
around Antwerp and mountains of
concrete have been erected along the
coast. Antwerp is guarded by at
least 200 42-centimeter guns. Each
can shoot 241a miles. The naval base
at Heligoland is almost as strong as
Gibraltar. l know these things, be-

THIS COP KNEW RED CROSS FUND
wichita Onicer Obliges Stranger
and Aids in Purchase Of Beer.


Cyrol Scott, of New York city. the
leading man of Seven Keys to Bald
pate" which will be at the Grand to-
night. was sitting in the lobby of the
National hotel shortly before noon to-
day. He was dressed in brown. He
wore brown shoes. brown suit, tie
and derby. And Cyrol Scott can tell
as good story as anyone and he told
one on a Wichita policeman.
my stage manager is a German. .
Scott said this morning, to a reporter
who called on him, land like all Ger
mans. he likes to have his beer every
night. We played last night at Wich-
tia. arriving there Sunday afternoon.
My friend soon made the discovery
that Wichita, in fact all of Kansas. is
dry.
II met him on the street Sunday af-
ternoon and he appeared to be in
blacklist dispair. He was in sore need
for a glass Of beer. An officer in full
regalia was standing near and I adj
vised my stage manager to go to him
for advice.
He did so, told the policeman that
he was stranger from New York,
that he was accustomed to having
glass of beer each night The cop
looked him over carefully and then
took him down side street. He
pointed out a certain house in the
block and Isaw my stage manager en-
ter the building.
"A minute later he came out of the
house with four bottles of the beer
that made Milwaukee famous tucked
under his arm. He cordially thanked
the cop and went back to the hotel
in a pleasant humor and he will al
ways have kindly feeling for that
policeman"
Cyrol Scott played Seven Keys to
Baldpate." for one year in New York
and seven months in Chicago. In
New York. he played to more than
100000 people. Seven years ago he
played in Topeka in The Prince
Chan"
