THE WAR IN BRlEF

British troops in France have oc' cupied three more villages in the Somme region, and in the Champagne, where intensive fighting has been in progress for several days the French have recaptured the positions taken by the Germans on March 2S.
 A German retirement on both sides of the Peronne-Fins road because of strong British pressure is announced by Berlin. Two of the villages cap tured by the British, Fins and SoreF le-Grand. are on this road, while the other, Ruyalcourt, is three miles to the north and eight miles west of Bapaume. Field Marshal Haig's men, London says, have gained ground west of Sorel-le-Grand in the direc- tion of Heudicourt and toward the railroad running south from Marco ing. A German attack against the British positions south of Neuville- Bourjenyal. between Ruyalcourt and Fins, is reported by London to have been checked with loss.
 Canadian troops have been in ac- tion east of Neuville st. Vaast. Der lin says that four attacks by Cana dian force were repulsed with heavy losses, while London claims the Ger man lines were entered and prisoners taken after casualties were inflicted on the defenders
 Neither Berlin nor Paris report any infantry activity between the Somme and the Disc Northeast of Soissons, Berlin says. French groupings for an attack were dispersed French troops in the sector of Vregny-Mar- giyal Paris reports, made progress.
 West of Maisons de champagne q French counter-attack resulted in the Germans losing the positions gained on Wednesday. The French took G. prisoners, Paris adds.
 There has been no important ac- tivity on any of the other battlefields. Russian attacks were delivered south. east of Baranovichi on the eastern front, but Petrograd does not say with what result, German troops entered Russian trenches on the OginsM canal but were dislodged Austrian attacks against Italian positions on Monte Fait, on the AustroItalian front, Rome says, were repulsed with heavy losses and prisoners were taken.

 Officials believe that Germany is making war on this nation, because she has taken more than 240 Ameri 'an lives on the high seas. because she has destroyed American ships by the wholesale, because millions of dollars worth of damage has been dcne as a result of German plots in the United States, because she has attempted to set on foot a conspiracy with Mexico and Japan to dismember the republic, aud finally. because of the belief that Germany triumphant will constitute a future menace to the peace of the world in general and the United tSates in particular.

London. March 30.-Reuter's Am. sterdam correspondent sends the fol- lowing concerning the address of Dr
 Alfred Zimmerman, minister of for
 eign affairs, with regard to Germanys attempt to embroil Mexico and Japan
 with the United States.
 Hugo Hasse, leader of the socialist
 minority in the reiehstag, remarked
 that the German offer of an alliance with Mexico had aggravated the situ-
 ation with the United States, and Dr. Zimmerman, replying, said: "I wrote no letter to General Car.

 was not unobiectonabIe. Our be- havior contrasts considerably with
 the behavior of the Washington gov ernment
 "President Wilson, after our note of January 31, 1917, which avoided
 all aggressiveness in tone, deemed it proper immediately to break off re- lations with extraordinary roughness. Our ambassador no longer had the opportunity to explain or elucldate
 orally our attitude. The United States government thus declined to negotiate with us. On the other hand, if addressed itself immediately to all
 the neutral powers to induce them
 to join the United States and break with us
 Every unpreiudiced person must see in this the hostile attitude of the American government, which seemed to consider it right before being at war with us, to set the entire world
 aaainst us. II cannot deny us the right to seek allies when it has itself
 practically declared war on us." "Her TIaase says it caused great in. dignatiOn in America. Of course, in

asked If he would run, the reporter
received the reply that he is not a

cept under certain conditions ana
then would not make any active cam

at is true that some of my friends
have approached me on the subject,
said Mr.. Westernhagen, "but it will

Dandruff Soon
ruins The Hair

GirIs-if you want plenty Of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid OF daaAdruff, for 1t will
starve your hair and ruin it If you
don't
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. Tho only sure
way to get rid Of dandruff is to dissolve
it, then you destroy il entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon: apply 1T at night when
retiring; use enough to Inoisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most If not all. of your
dandruH will be gone. and three or
four more applications viii completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. 1t Is inexpensive
and four ounces is all you viii need,
no matter how much dandruff you
have. This simple remedy never fails.
