Way in Front for 8 Years

1t was in 1909 that Fatimas nOsed
their way to the front and became the
fastest-selling cigarette costing over lOc.
And, except in one or two localities,
Fatima's big lead is increasing faster
today than eUer-in spite of the big
sales of cheaper cigarettes, packed to
initiate Fatima.
Of course, Fatima's remarkable sales
do not make Fatimas taste any better

in fact, no cigarette can just suit
every mans personal taste.
But it proves that MOST men find
that Fatimas keep their promises-that
Fatimas do taste good and are COM
Portable tOhiIe you are smoking and
that after you smoke they leave you
feeling just as fine as before.
Yes, Fatimas are sensible-and some
day you'll become Fatima smoker.

 It was distinctly Joffre's day. with Gen. eral Foch coming in for second honors from the country population that lined all the roads and the village streets and cheered themselves hoarse as the victors of the Marne swept along. A drenching rain which fell for a part of the time dur ing the visit failed to lessen the success of the trip or to drown the enthusiasm of the speakers who extolled the far reaching effects of the battle. General Foch, as the military leader. explained how the victory was achieved.

Birkenhead, England, September g. Germany has not yet felt the final strain of the war, said Premier Lloyd George, speaking at the Royal National Eistedd- fod here today. When she did, he con tinued, she would feel the binding value of real freedom
 If Russia had enjoyed more freedom in peace time, declared the premier, she would have been more united in war, for unity of action was not suppression oi freedom, but it's highest expression,
 Speaking of the affection of the donin- ions for the mother country, the premier said this would continue to grow and be- come deeper, more insistent. more com pelling as the years rolled by. This was the great day of the empire, the premier declared.

 Great empires are necessary for pro lection and security and for strength, bu small nations are necessary for conccn tration and intensive effort.

Enlisted Men Are to Be
 Given Special Opportunity
 to Wear Bars of Officer

Washington, September 6.-Enlisted men in the national army are to be given special opportunities to become officers. Secretary Baker said today that the establishment of a third series of officers training camps was under conside eTation and that men selected Ia the draft will be extended such oppor- tunities to enter that majc~ity of those enrolled probably would be from ranks.
 This policy will be adhered to in all training camps opened during the war How many more camps will be opened is not known, but 1t is part of the gem eral plan to continue the making of officers by special training as long as it is necessary to continue the increas- ing of the army.

OF
 2 NITRATE PLANTS
 IS RECOMMENDED
Committee Headed by Gen. Crozier Reports Work Should Commence at
 Once on These

Washington, September 6--Immediate construction of two government nitrate plants at cost of s3,e0o.oo0 is recom- mended by the nitrate supply commit tee headed by Brigadier General Crozier, lie tonight by the war department. Southwest Virginia or the contiguous re- zion has been chosen as the best place to locate the plants, but until site is definitely selected there will be no an
 ncuncement.
 As announced several weeks ago. the
 idea of building a great water power
 nitrogen fixation plant, which Congress
 had in mind when appropriating s2o. 600. .00i
 for nitrogen supply has been abandoned temporarily because of the time that
 would be required to get such an estab-
 lishment into operation. The plants now
 proposed would employ the synthetic am-
 nlonia and oxidation of ammonia pro-
 cesses, acquisition of the synthetic ann
 ncnis process from the General Chemical
 company being recommended by the com
 mittee
 DETAILS OF REPORT
 The report proposes contingent upon
 a satisfactory arrangement with the chemical company, the erection of syn thetic ammonia plant at an estimated cost of s300o,00o, with capacity of 6o00o pounds of ammonia day, and the erec- tion of an oxidation process plant at an estimated cost of $60oo0O, with capacity equivalent to 24,0oO pounds of 100 per cent nitric acid a day.
 Acknowledging an offer of the Nitro gen Products company of the use under certain conditions of the so-called Buch- CT process for the production of sodium cyaride and ammonia, the committee rec ommends that s2oo00O be placed at the disposal of the war department for ex- perimentation looking to the industrial development of this process. The committee further recommends: That $1o0,000 be made available for the active prosecution of investigations oi processes for the industrial production of nitrogen compounds useful in the
 manufacture of explosives or of fer tilizers:
 BY-PRODUCT COKE OVENS l That in order to increase the pro- 1 duction of ammonia and toluol the gov ernment promote the installation of by product coke ovens by directing that pri ority be given in the production, deliv. cry and transportation of the materials \ and parts needed in their construction; That the decision as to more exten sive installation of nitrogen fixation pro- cesses and water power development il
 connection with them. be postponed unti the plants above recommended are 1T ] operation or until further need arises l and,
 While the preceding recommendation l irclude all the measures that can nov 1 judiciously be taken for the fixation oi nitrogen and the oxidation of ammonia I it is the opinion of the committee tha i the immediate accumulation and the per manent maintenance of an ample reserve not less than 5N0o0o tons of Chile salt
