A GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR.

Friday, Feb 23..-Premier Lloyd
George in speech to the house of
commons admitted the future of the
British empire was periled by the u
boat campaign, and urged RUTHLESS"
sacrifices by the people of Great Bri-
tain The premier declared the gov
eminent would ban every form of lux
tials" and increase the farm area of
the kingdom and speed up the far
mers.
German troops after strong artillery
preparation launched three attacks
against the Russian positions east of
the Russian lines. Counter attacks by
the Russians were successful in driv-
ing back the Teutons to their original
positions.
Saturday, Feb. 24.-The village of
Petit Miramont, south of Ancre, in
France, has been entered by British
troops as result of an advance south
east of Miramount.
The British line south and south
east of Serre, north of the Ancre, has
been pushed forward on a front of
over a mile and half.
CONSERVATION was caused at the
Hague by the announcement of the
torpedoing by German submarines of
seven Dutch cargo vessels, two Of
which, the Noorderdijk and the Zaan-
dix, grain laden and bound for a
home port, belonged to the Holland
American line. The relations of Hol-
land and Germany have been strained
almost to the breaking point.
Sunday, Feb. 25.-According to adj
vices from the Somme front the Brit
ish have Occupied five important towns
in the Ancre sector and the Germans
have been compelled to withdraw
miles. Another raid was carried out
by the British east of Vierstraat, Bel
GUM Here, on a front of 500 yards,
the British entered the German
trenches, inf1icting heavy casualties.
A belated British official communi-
the Tigris river, shows that in addi-
ton to having occupied Turkish
trenches over a front of nearly 1000
yards in the Sannaiyat region last
week, the British troops also were
able to cross to the left bank of the
Tigris in the Shumran bend, west Of
Kut-el-Amara.
Monday, Feb. 26.-Within a few
minutes after President Wilson de
livered his message to the joint ses-
sion of congress asking that body To
reaffirm his right to power to cope
with the German U-boat menace to
American shipping and American
lives, news was received of the sink
ing without warning of the Cunard
liner Laconia, with IS passengers and
ZIG crew on board. Mrs. Mary E. Hoy
and Miss Elizabeth Hoy, two Chicago
ans were among those who persisted.
Kut-el-Amara has been recaptured
from the Turks by the British forces.
All of the Turkish positions from
Sannaiyat to Kut-el-Amara have been
secured and the town of Kut-el-Amara
automatically passed into the hands
of the British.
The British drive on the Ancre has
netted gain of two miles in depth
on line of eleven miles.

The "OnIy Child"

When parents have an ''only child
it seems to get as much attention as
six or eight children in large family.
Some statistics show that out of hun
dred ''only children eighty-seven were
nervous, the girls suffering worse than
the boys. And then the statisticians
say the only child lacks self reliance,
is precocious, vain and unsociable, is
often extremely timid, being afraid of
dark rooms and of sleeping alone

Believing that trading stamps and
tokens in connection with the pur-
chases of tobacco, cigars and cigar
cites are an evil, Assemblyman Chas.
F. Hart of Oshkosh has offered bill
prohibiting their use in such connec-
ton under heavy penalty. His meas
ure provides that it shall be unlawful
for any person, firm or corporation to
give or furnish in connection with the
sale of any tobacco, cigars or cigar
cites any trading stamps, tickets or
other similar device which shall en-
title the purchaser receiving same to
any goods, wares or merchandise. He

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid OF
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning.
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times bet
ter.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work-Adv.

Kearney Farmers Believe
Wheat DAMAGE OverStated

Kearney, Neb,, March 27-(Spe-
cial.)-The condition of the Kearney
and Buffalo county winter wheat crop
was made a subject OF discussion at
the Commercial club meeting Mon
day. The report was made that the
crop OF the two counties was in bad
shape and that majority of it would
be total loss. This statement was
not borne out by other reports re-
ceived. 1t was stated that many
patches of winter wheat that was
black were to be found, but that there
was still life in the kernel and very
bright prospect OF its coming forth
with seasonable spring weather. 1t
is not thought that much of the grain
was smothered during the winter
months. The patches of green TO be
seen in wheat fields are not as nu-
merous as they were year ago, but
the farmers are not discouraged and
still believe the grain will come forth.

appears in the words of the president:
1--WE are condemned to continue the
war until we-our gallant allies and our
selves-can obtain the reparations and
guarantees rendered indispensable by the
aggressions of which we have been the
victims, by the sacrifices to which we
have subjected ourselves and by the
losses which we have suffered"

cal traditions, by the same attachment
to free institutions" said President Pon.

upon Europe and which France did every
thing to avoid could not alter the good
relations between the United States and

AN EXTRA SESSION

an extra session of Congress to complete
the presidents legislative program un-
less action is had before March 4 is
again heard at the capitol to-day. With
less than SO legislative says of the ses-

the part OF many senator's of favorable
action, in vien of opposition to much of
the proposed legislation, including water
power and other conservation bills, the
strike, prevention bill and the
Webb collective foreign selling agency
bill.
The Senate steering committee will
meet Monday in response to the presi-
dents appeal yesterday to frame pro-
gram for submission to the Senate DEM
ocratic caucus.
The president made another trip to
the Senate office building and discussed
the cloggdd legislative calendar with
Secretary Kern, Williams, Thomas,
Reed, James and Chamberlain more than
two hours. He made it clear that he
was anxious for action on all measures
outlined at the beginning of the sessions,
railroad labor legislation as
5he paramount issue, water power and
,ther observation bills, corrupt prac-
Ice measure, the Webb collective foreign
selling agency measure and the Porto
Rican citizenship bill together with the
big appropriation bills and necessary
evenue legislation.
