ALLIES STILL HAVE EDGE
Secretary Baker Says Initiative in
West Hasn't Passed to Enemy.

Washington, Dec. 16-"No element
in the military situation should lead
us to conclude that the initiative in
the West has passed from the Allies
to the enemy" says Secretary Baker
in his weekly review of military oper-
atoms, made public tonight, and de-
voted largely to the German adver-
Using of an impending great often
sive.
"For the period of the review (thc
week ending yesterday the general
military situation in the West has re-
manned unchanged" the review says.
"Rumors of great preparations on
the part of the Germans, with view
to achieving some major strategic
success in the West continue to reach
us.
For the last two years the Ger
mans have been nthe defensive N
the West. The bold advertising of an
imposing offensive on the part of the
enemy, which, while in the realm of
possibility and therefore should not
be neglected or overlooked, must in
no wise be interpreted to mean that
the increased strength Of the hostile
forces will result in any permanent
strategic advantage to the Germans.
"The raiding of German towns OF
the interior, more especially the in
dustrial centers of the Rhine land, by
Allied aircraft as reprisals for the re-
peated bombardment of open towns
in France and Great Britain by the
Germans has been successfully in
itiated.
"The reports OF observers recently
out of Germany, who were present in
previous air raids, state these raids
have had very depressing effect on
The civilian population and have
heightened the growing discomfort
among the German people, who now
for the first time are being brought
face to face with real war conditions.

FOUNDER OF OSTEOPATHY
DEAD
DR.. A. T. Still Dies in His soth Year.

Kirksville, Mo-, Dec. 1e.--Dr. A. 7.
Still, founder of the osteopathic
school of medicine. died here today,
So years old.
Doctor Still began to elaborate his
ideas of medical treatment in 1874
and organized the first class in the
study of osteopathy in 1892. Later
he founded the American School of
Osteopathy at Kirksvifle. from which
six thousand men and women have
been graduated and are now practice
ing in all parts of the world. There
are now six hundred students at the
school.
Doctor Still, who was born in Lee
County, Virginia, in 1928, was the
son of Methodist preacher and ply
stefan. He first practiced medicine
among the Shawnee Indians. He
was elected to the Kansas Legislature
in 1850 on an anti-slavery ticket, and
served as surgeon in the Union
Army
Doctor Still was rather peculiar in
his dress, but that ended the list of
his eccentricities. His friends used
to fancy he somewhat resembled Ab-
raham Lincoln.
