Heavy Picture Frames PASSING.

Ptcture-framing In Great Britain has
undergone many transformations In
recent years. The building Of smaller
houses made obsolete the fashion Of
heavy frames which were the pride of
Victorian dining rooms. There are pat
terms Of the Charles II, and the Louis
periods which by their merit In de-
sign have escaped destruction, and
out Of composition" Old frames Of
baser design have been burned that
gold in the old gliding might be sal
vaged.

DEFENDANT GONE;
NO BOND WAS GIVEN

w. r. McKeeth, charged with the
illegal sale of intoxicating liquors, has
disappeared. A bench warrant was
issued for him yesterday, which orders
that he be brought into the district
court. The sheriff and his deputies
are now looking for McKeeth. Charles
F. Reddoch, his attorney, was in court
yesterday when the case was called
for trial and announced that his client
was gone and he had no idea where
to find him.
The court ordered that his bonds
men be notified that his bond would
be declared forfeited within a short
time, if McKeeth did not appear. An
investigation has proved, however, that
McKeeth was not under bond. When
arrested last fall by Sheriff Pfost, he
put up q bond of $500 for his appear
ance at the preliminary examination.
When his preliminary was held and
he was bound over to the district court,
his attorney asked that the bond be
continued few days until a new bond
could be filed. Such an agreement is
customary and was agreed upon. 1t
now appears that the bondsmen with
drew their bond and no new bond was
filed in the case.

ARGENTINE FIRM IN
DETERMINATION TO
STAND BY EMBARGO

Buenos Aires, April 10.-Argentine
is determined not to yield to British
and American pressure for lifting of
her embargo on wheat unless 1t Is alb
solutely necessary. Today feeling
against Great Britain reached an acute
stage when knowledge of an acrimon-
ious conference between President Iri-
goyen and the British minister Sir
Reginald Tower, reached the public.
President Irigoyen today dispatched
an Argentine transport vessel to Chile
to purchase coal. He was also nego-
tiating for q supply of this fuel from
Colombia and there was official init
nation that the entire Argentine navy
might be assigned to carry coal in this
way.
1t was admitted that unless Argen-
tine Is thus able to obtain coal, with
holding of such fuel by England and
America would practically paralyze all
industry.
No official version was obtainable
today of conference between Tower
and President Irigoyen, but 1t was
made known that the meeting was an
angry one. According to one authori-
tative report, Tower told Irigoyen he
was considering the advisability of
leaving Argentine at once, possibly de-
manding his passports and formally
breaking diplomatic relations.
From a number of sources today
came report that the Argentine gov
eminent was secretly considering the
wisdom of declaration against Ger
many in favor of the United States and
the allies. thus beating Brazil to it,
The plan on its face seemed incred-
IDLE, in view of bitter friction between
Great Britain and Argentine over the
wheat embargo, but the rumor never
theless persisted.

PRISONERS TAKEN
BY THE THOUSANDS

With the British Armies Afield,
April 1o.-There is every reason to be-
lieve that by tonight the great Brit
ish smash will have netted Field Mar
shall Haig 5000 prisoners and be-
tween 30 and 100 guns.
The driving force of the great Of
fensive was undiminished today even
with bitter opposition from the enemy.
\ While these figures are not official
they are based on careful estimates
and calculations.
The British have advanced to point
four miles to the east of Arras and
have stormed four systems of trenches
along the north bank of the Scarpe to
Briond, which were famous for their
boosted strength.
FACING THE LAST SYSTEM.
10 the south of the Scarpe today the
British were facing the last system of
the German line. which is nearly OPP
posite the famous ''Hindenburg line
From this point the fighting front
runs by Feuchy Chapelle to the east to

The fighting had not slackened in the
slightest degree today. The troops are
immensely pleased to be moving again
after the inaction Of trench warfare.
REAL WINTER WEATHER.
The spring offensive comes, oddly
enough, in the coolest April weather IN
so years; to the accompaniment of a
gale Of blowing snow and sleet which
bites stingingly into the faces of men
but fails to dampen their spirits.
When the push" started one could
hear thousands marching through the
blackness of the night singing and
Joking. The Canadian divisions, be It
known, stepped along the the lively
music of American ragtime.
Prisoners continued to pour back of
the lines today-most of them wur-
tembergers, Hamburgers and Bavar-
ians. They appeared quite cheerful
even the many officers in the bunch.

President Bras decision to take this
step followed a formal report from the
Brazilian minister in Paris corroborat-
ing in full the story of the captain
of the Brazilian steamer Parana as to
the circumstances of the sinking OF
that ship by a German U-boat. Every
detail of the original story, including
the unwarned attack, the firing OF
shells on the sinking vessel the
deaths of three Brazilians by the ex-
plosion of the torpedo and the IL
hours of suffering in open boats en-
dured by the survivors-many of them
wounded-was said to have been fully
confirmed.
1t was expected that Switzerland
terests at Berlin.
PREPARATIONS SPEEDED UP.
Minister of Marine Alencar today
ordered a speeding UP in Brazil's naval
preparations and great activity in ma

But the official, governmental hope is
that there need not be an actual wal

rupture, unless Germany gives addi-
tional provocation.
The public, on the other hand, to-
day apparently regarded the diplo-
matte break as purely a preliminary
