Where the War Will End.

Edward Lyell Fox an American war correspondent
who with the German general staff, predicting
that the European will end the western 'front.'
furnishes what appear the layman the most
satisfactory analysis of the military
that have taken place within the last two years.
Mr.. Fox assumes that it is a between Germany
and Great Britain and that neither win. because
it is impossible the front of either side
to be broken. First second third and even fourth
and fifth lines may be pierced and sections of them
captured by the enemy but it will be impossible
the enemy have sufficient force hand follow
up such drive. With insufficient force the enemy
must be subjected certain fatal thanking attack.
The impossibility Of breaking this front has been
demonstrated by both sides until the Germans at
least, are certain that it cannot be done.
Regarding offensives, Mr.. Fox points out that
it is very easy to make initial success to capture
either first second line trenches Even small Of
fensves that usually happens for two One
is that the attack is upon section which
is not prepared resist it, The are, though
in the rear Such attacks usually made great
expense and so far in the whether a large or
small SCALE have been futile.
As to the attack Verdun Mr. Fox says it was
German hope purpose break French
line there 1t the nearly impregnable point
the line. 1t is LAG miles from Paris. which even
in the event of the capture of Verdun is separated
from II by rough country, easily defended Another
point the German front is only so miles from Paris
and back of it is a level country, which rapid
progress might be made, the French line was
broken
Mr.. Fox's explanation ofthe attack on Verdun
is an interesting and pleasbe The longer the
battle at that point maintained the bettel the
purpose of the Germans would be served The Ger
mans had been since last October that the al
lies intended great offensive. Where it would take
place they did know. but they knew that the
measure of success that attended it would depend
upon the allies accumulation Of ammunition. That
is one thing with which the Germans abundantly
supplied Trey making more of it thar all the
allies the British and French had so reorganzed
themselves that they were accumuiatns vast

A very successful two days session of

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live we'll, eat we'll, digest well, work
we'll, sleep we'll, look well. What
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stufy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast, While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorou gh flushing Of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store,
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone pro-
nounced crank on the subject Of in
ternal Observation-Disclosures.

Case Involving
Treasurer's Fees
Up at Fairbury

Fairbury, Neb., Dec. 4.-(Special.)
Judge L. NJ. Pemberton opened the
December term Of district court for
the Eighteenth judicial district here
today. This will be jury session and
a largeI docket of criminal and equity
cases faces Judge Pemberton for ad-
judication.
The case of the county commission
ers against County Treasurer D. B.
Cropsey for the recovery of clerical
fees which he retained will be one of
the most important cases brought up
at this term. The county attorney will
represent the commissioners. Mr..
Cropsey filed a petition in the district
court November q asking for a writ
of mandamus to compel the county
board to fix the allowance for clerks
in his office. When Mr.. Cropsey took
the office OF treasurer he asked for an
allowance of $1,620, but the commits
sioners allowed only $1,000. This case
has caused considerable discussion
and nearly resulted in the defeat of
the county treasurer at the recent
election. He pulled through by ma
jority Of sixty-three votes in a strong
republican county on the second
term.
A criminal case of considerable i'm
portance is that of the state against
Roy Barnes. This case is the out
growth of a shooting fracas at the
home of E. E. McLane in this city in
May, 1914. Barnes asserted he had
been robbed by companion sat the Nc
Lane home of $3.50. When he tried to
recover his money, quarrel ensued
and he later procured revolver and
attempted to compel several of his
companions to reimburse him. He
fired a shot that struck McLane in the
leg.
