London, Feb. 15.-By battering
blows south of ST. Marie the Germans
are making desperate efforts to drive
wedge in the French line with the
view of bending back the whole
French line in Flanders
The German smash has been sue
cessful, according to Berlin dispatches.
They report gains on the French left
wing that more than Offset the ad-
vance made by the French on their
right, in the fighting northwest of
Massiges.
Both Paris and Berlin agree that
the fighting in the Champagne is
heavier than at any time since the
French rushed forward in the great
offensive movement of last September.
In several respects the present
struggle, though less violent. paral-
lels the September offensive. In Sep
tember the French drive hit the Ger
man line hardest around Maison do
Champagne. The German counter at
tack as in the present fighting was
delivered with the greatest force on
the French left.
Official dispatches from both capi.
tails indicate heavy slaughter with no
important changes either in the Cham
payne or the Artois.
The "nibbling' of the past two
weeks is believed to have resulted in
casualties of between $4,000 and 100,-
.0C0. The fighting is now spreading
to nearly every sector of the front,
the Germans mostly on the offensive.
There is nothing thus far in the re-
ports of the shelling to indicate ar
tillery preparations by the Germans
for the predicted grand offensive.

TOURNEY RECEIPTS
AMOUNT TO $S12

That actual receipts of the second
annual basketball tournament were
$S12.75, and that total attendance this
year was practically twice that of last
year, is shown by the figures com
piled by e. R. Holman and B. W.
Kelly, of the r. H. S. finance COM
mittee.
Despite heavy expense attached to
bringing twelve teams of eight men
each to and from the city, feeding the
visitors, expense of officials and hall
rent, it is estimated that approx
mately 1925 will be realized. Last
year the tourney netted about the
same amount. Expense items include
the following: Railroad fare for teams,
$16G; meals for visitors, 500; Off
Gals and incidental expenses, $1G0;
coliseum rent, 800. These figures are
approximate.

WHEN HATS WERE HATS

Hats were hats, shoes were
shoes, and clothes were clothes
forty years ago.
Requirements today are much
more complex, our needs are null
tiplied.
So that it is not enough to make
up our minds to buy a new hat or
new pair of shoes, or new suit
of clothes.
Style, quality, service, and many
other essentials occupy our minds
now, when we feel the need Of pur-
chasing anything.
Newspaper advertising has op-
ened our eyes to the need and to
the distinct advantage of being in
formed.
And retailers in their constant
striving to please and to create
new business are daily telling of
the merits Of their wares in the
columns of dependable newspapers
like The Palladium.
Keep up with the times.
Don't neglect your newspaper.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get a small package Of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at
any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful
of the tea, put cup Of boiling water
upon it, pour through a sieve and
drink teacup full at any time. 1t is
the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores, relieving congestion. Also loos-
ems the bowels, thus breaking a cold
at once.
1t is inexpensive and entirely vege-
table, therefore harmless.-Adv. :

Declines Position on Mexican
Commission-Court Rush
Prevents Acceptance.

Associate Justice Louis D. Brandies yes
terday declined to serve on the Mexican
Mediation Commission.
He called at the White House person.
ally to place his declination before the
President.
This action followed an interview with
Chief Justice White, at which the latter
objected to participation by a member
of the United States Supreme Court in
the Mexican Mediation Conference.
The White House last night gave out
the text Of Justice Brandeis' letter of
declination. It follows:
'I appreciate the opportunity for high
service which membership on the Mex
lean Commission would present, but upon
with the Chief Justice, 7
find the state OF the business of the
Supreme Court at the presnt time to be
such that 1t is my duty not to undertake
