BRITISH SWEEP VALLEY OF
 TIGRIS
Enemy Are Driven Out For 80 Miles North of Bagdad---
 Gavelle is Captured

London, April 23.-Big gains are reported today by the British forces in the Tigris valley. For eighty miles north of Bagdad, the dispatches state, they have swept The country clear of enemy.
 With the ever increasing amount of territory in this section coming under British control, it Is believ- ed that German hopes in this direc- ton, as regards immediate supplies for the Ottomans and their other southern allies, have been destroyed.
 British headquarters in Franc today report the capture of Gavelle, one of the fortified posts on the last Hindenburg line. This allows the British entrance to the coun- try north of the Scurpe river, to- ward which troops are now advanc- ing.

 Secretary of State Lansing receiv- cd tbe party at the railway sta tioa The ceremonies were marked by a simplicity befitting this grave event in Amercan history.
 What course will be followed in the conferences has not as yet been announced, but it has been made cloar that the United States will not depart in any way from it's traditional policy of avoiding any thins in the nature of political al liances. This is said not to indi- cate that full cooperation will not bH given in military and naval prosecution of the war.
 May Discuss Peace Terms
 Opportunity is expected to be taken by both sides to sound the other regarding the eventual terms of peace. It is appreciated abroad, according to well informed sources, that the United States is not who'll ly 'n sympathy with some of the pl aspective terms of the entente and that it does not concur in so complete a crushing of Germany as the allies are understood to demand
 The flow of munitions and food supplies to the allies Is expected to be one of the important matters considered.

leaking. . si
 The cave-in started about eleven Saturday night. With laundering roar the sea plunged down to the lower levels of the works which run under the Gastineau channel.
 Warned of the peril, the miners fled before the on-rushing waters. There was not a minute to spare. The last of them made their escape just as the flood filled the upper levels. From the time the beach opened and let in the sea only an hour elapsed until every level was filled.
 Anxious Moments
 Crowds quickly gathered outside. Men, women and children formed anxious groups, fearing for the lives Of friends and loved ones who were in the mine.
 As the men came pouring out of the shaft there was many a cry of relief from women as they saw hus- bands Ar sons safe from the danger that was raging hundreds of feet beneath the ground. And when the last man was out and it was known that no lives had been lost there was the relaxation from that tension that only the dread watch ing of the approach of the great adventure can bring.

is, lack of space and facilities for

ports about the war

(From Richmond Virginian

(From Richmond Virginian.)
Editor Virginian:
Sr,-Your editorial of Monday
June IL, does number of country
newspapers an injustice. A number
of them come TO the attention of
the writer weekly and we find some
of them urging greater food produc-
ton in their editorial columns and
giving other aid and comfort to the
government, showing that some of
them at least are alive TO the situa-
ton. Beyond the moral support of the
editorial columns and giving as much
war news as practical, the editor of /,
small country paper should not be
called upon, unless the government is
prepared to buy space just as it buys
products needed for the war in every
line of business.
Because the newspaper of the large
cities can afford to give their space
to the government, it by no means
follows that the country publishers
can afford to do likewise The field of
these publications to secure and at
tract advertising is unquestionably
limited, and Il number Of them have

SEEMS MIRACULOUS.

The loaning of millions upon mil
lions of cash to the Allies over seas
appeared ut the time Il stupendous
accomplishment, and the wonder WAS
where the money came from. But,
behold! Right OH top of these huge
loans the country was asked for IL
two billion dollar loan for the equip
ment of our own army training for
the war. What happened? Within
the short space OF less than sixty
days, the two billions, not millions,
mind you, was planked down in cold
cash, and an extra billion on top of
II, for good measure. Was there ev-
er such thing done before by any
people? And all this has been ac-
complishcd without causing the slight
est disturbance whatever in money or
business circles. And, then, too, this
vast sum was raised largely by the
poor" people. 1t was not a collec-
ton taken among millionaires. The
mlllionaircs and big corporations
subscribed, of course, but only to pre-
scribed amounts. 1t was Il collection
from the masses, not the classes. The
loan was wise and fine conception
Its execution and accomplishment was
almost miraculous.
Another teaching-the wonderful,
almost ineXhaustible resources of this
country emphasized. Billions of mon
ey raised and no sacrifice made in or
der to do it. And they tell us the
almost incredible fact, that we have
only scratched the surface, that these
huge amounts came from the "pocket
Change of the people. Their main
and chief source have not been touch
cd! 1t is nothing short of wonder
ful-the vast resources of this won
dcrful country.
The accomplishment Of this gigantic
task will be Of lasting, immeasura-
bic benefit to the people of this coun-
try IN its moral effects. We have
come to ourselves. We know things
that we did not know before. 1t is y
triumph of the Democratic theory of
government, and the pcrmancncy and
benevolence of our institutions. To
spread, infuse and establish these be-
netieent principles of democracy
throughout the nations of the world
we have dedicated ourselves, money
and men, and will never surrender
until these benciiccnt and God-given
principles permeate the nations.
