Prepare for Great Stroke.

London, Dec. 12.-The German high
command is .feverishly fastening its
preparations for some great stroke on
the western front. Dispatches today re-
ported vast forces being massad day and
night at various points along the Fran
coBritish line. More German airpIanes
than have been seen in months have
been aggressively seeking to spy out
British positions, batteries, munition
| dumps and supply stations. Unusual
raiding activity, parp of the same eff
fort to obtain information as to strength
of front positions, developed all along
the line.
A perceptible lessening of Teutonic
pressure on the italian front was report
ed today. 1t served to confirm belief
here in London that considerable for
ces of Austro- Hungarian troops had
been switched from that theatre to the
west. Great oumbers of the Austrian EN-.
peror IS troops are reported already there
having been transferred from the Rus
sian lines.
The artillery duel along both French
and British fronts today was attaining
a maximum of violence. The Germans
are assuming the initiative in this COM
bat.
Repulse of ''local attack north of
Lavacquerie yesterday afternoon was
reported by Field Marshal Haig today.
He also detailed successful raids, in
which the British captured prisoners
and a machine gun in the neighborhood
of Pentruet and northwest of st. Quen-
tin.
Berlin s official statements frankly
admit strong plan of reinforcement
of all west front positions.

Joe AdOlph Presented
Splendid New Auto
by Admiring Friends

1t has been the dream of Joe Adolph
for years to own an automobile His
gentle disposition felt needed eommun-
ion with the great things of nature. He
dreamed of the pleasant drives down
shady vistas, over the rolling hills of
Polk, of sauntering ON 'slow' BY dash
ing mountain streams and chuggiug
peacefully along orchard -bordered roads
and by pastures where the wild roses or
namented the fence corners and filled
the air with fragrance. He had Wis
ions of the peaceful kline chewing their
cuds while he ruminated ON the cost
per chew, and wondered if there was a
war tax ON chewing as there was on
smoking. He had other similar visions
too numerous to mention, and he also
had little hopes of any Of these dreams
coming true. That is the reaoon his
brother Sam and the others engaged in
business with hin, realizing that the
gladsome Christmas time was near de-
termined to surprise him by presenting
him an up-to-date auto. When Joe came
down and opened up his place of bust
ness the auto was there in all its bright
green loveliness calculated to warm his
Irish heart. AS Joe gaaed the big tears
gathered in his eyes. and he was for a
time speeehless. The auto was arranged
ON a miniature road along which were
strewn dainty little bottles-all empty;
and there were signs along the road
marked - HorRbrook 20 miles" and
stating the speed limit. There was a lit
tie flag flauntiag its stripes gai'y over
the engine and a tiny dog with his
tongue hanging out, chasing along be-
hind the machine. These was in addition
the price tag, and that is what touch
ID Joe most deeply. II read: t15l
