TAG DAY WAS
A BIG SUCCESS
Two Hundred and Twenty-Five
Members Added to Over
land Trail Club

The ladies who had charge OF Tag
Day for the Overland Trail club did
grand work last Saturday. Very few
escaped being tagged with a member
ship badge, and to the credit of the
community he IL said that very few
tried to escape. Everyone seemed glad
TO pay in membership fees for the
good of the cause, for the important
work OF the club is generally realized.
Two hundred and twenty-five mem
bers were added to the roll, and the
sum of s532.50 was added to the

FIVE BILLION
DOLLAR BOND
ISSUE DECIDED
Three Billion Will be a Loan
To the Entente Powers,
Rest for War Use

WASHINGTON, April "a decision
20 introduce five billion dollar bond
issue in the house next THURSDAY was
reached by Secretary McAdoo and
Representative Rainey of Illinois.
Rainey is the ranking democratic
member OF the ways and means COM
mittee.
This measure will carry a S3,OOO,-
100000 issue for loan to the allies
and $2,OOO,OOO.OOO issue for the con-
Quoting of the war in this country. The
S2,O00,000,000 issue is expected to
meet approximately one.half of the
United States war expenses to June
30, 1918. ..
Consideration of plans for raising
additional funds by taxation for con-
ducting war for this country will come
later.
The most essential thing to be con-
slider now Is TO prepare the allies loan
in order that they may obtain much
needed food and ammunition. Every
effort to rush the measure through the
house will be considered Wednesday.
The question of the tenure of the
bond issue has not yet been definitely
decided. Some members of the COM
mittee prefer fifty years for the bonds
10 run but think that they should be
paid off at different times.

LONDON. April 9.-The British
early this morning attacked the Ger.
man line along wide front from a
point south OF Arras to the south of
Lens, thus opening what is believed
to be the general spring offensive.

progress made in the direction of
'ambia and at st. Quentin, two import

AUSTRIA BREAKS
OFF RELATIONS
WITH AMERICA
Bulgaria and Turkey Have Not
Yet Given indication of
Their Attitude d

WASHINGTON. April 9.-Baron
Erich Zwiedinek, who is in charge OF
the Austrian embassy here, today de-
m&nded his passports. BY this act
Austria breaks off diplomatic relations
with the United States Almost at the
same time a dispatch was received
from the American Minister Stoyall
at Berna. announcing that relations
had been broken by Austria at Vienna,
on April 8. the day after American
Ambassador Penfield left the Austrian
capital.
Spain Takes over interests
All American consular officers, as
well as all diplomats will be with
drawn from Austria.Hungary. and
Spain will take over the United
States interests in Austria Also all
Austrian consular officers as well as
all ambassadors will be withdrawn
from the United States.
Bulgaria and Turkey Not Decided
Bulgaria and Turkey have not as
yet given any indication of their
probable attitude. and officials here
express doubt as to what it will be.
Neither has formally endorsed Ger
many's submarine stand, nor have
they any submarines that would oper-
ate near. American shipping. Aus
tria's severence, however, cuts off all
communication with Sofia and Con-
stantinOpIe.
Sweden to Act for Austria
Austria has asked Sweden to take
over her interests in the United
States. Austria's breaking off diplo-
matte relations is undoubtedly n pre-
lude to a declaration of war. Our am
bassadors in Vienna will now turn
over to Spain the Japanese and British
interests. which this country has look
ed after since the beginning of the
war.
The Italian. French and Rumanian
interests in Austria, previously looked
after by the United States will be
turned over to the Swiss minister.
The United States by breaking off
diplomatic interests is relieved of the
care of two million war prisoners in
Russia alone. II Is estimated that
1,250,000 Austrian prisoners were un-
der American protection.

able Furnishings.

The fad for black and white i'm in
tcriurS still RACES. In its present form
this fad Is Il good Cne for now that we
have passed the days of OVERRIDING the
hlack-and-white idea we have come
upon some really charming effects.
The rage for black has taught us
that dark furniture is often far more
effective than light furniture. Aud
that IL something worth learning.
There are places, of course, where dark
furniture does not look well. But in
Il room of rather heterogeneous color
scheme dark furniture Is almost sure
To look best.
So If you have on hand any old fur
niturc. eVca of a dilapidatcd sort
darken Il. Use brown or black stain.
and with this stain turn the cherry
bedside stand. the golden oak rocking
chair. the battered curly maple writing
desk. the grccn.Stained mission bureau
and dressing table, the gray cnameled
hod--turn them all into dull, dark
bedroom suite. Then place item In II
room with mustard yellow or soft blue
paper on the walls. with bright chintz
or soft cream muslin haugings, and
congratulate yourself on the result,
which will most surely be a charming
one.
II is really very interesting work,
this painting and staining Of furniture.
And the fact that Il does bring har-
uony out Of II lack of II. that 1t does
make old and worn furniture II pleas
ant possibility, makes the work quite
worth while.
So get II can of dark oak or dark
walnut stain or of black paint or
enamel and go to work To bring dark
harmony out of your old furniture.
Then there Is the Jacohean and Eliz-
abethan and Tudor furniture, that has
decided vogue ut the present time
This Is finished In soft hull brown
that Is very attractive.

The Fabric Glove,

With the exception of very formal
afternoon wear, the fabric glove Is
without doubt in excellent standing for
all occasions. Evening does not count,
as not one woman In ten wears gloves
with an evening gown. She has huge
fur cuffs or pockets in her evening
coat, into which she slips her unglOved
hands. So il can be said without res.
ervatlOn, then, that for general utility
wear fabric gloves are us correct as
kid. They are being cut in excellent
shapes, and come in such blending col
ors MS fawn, mole and, of course,
white. They are quite as expensive rs
the service kid glove, but can be
washed and are better for the hands, II
is said, than the tighter kid, which Is
apt to make the hands red from lack
of circulation.

being replaced by u more decorative

while. rs regards color, there are de-

The newest hats do NOT seem to be

u hat Is more ephcmcrnl than any other
thing In dress 1t may safely be hoped
that another week will give us more
attractive models. Sometimes the mil.
liners seem to have II brief spell Of nj.
most bad taste. and during those brief
spells we get unlovcly models. Only a

said something about the very Ques.
