Copenhagen, Nov. 8.-Unwilling
testimony Of the irresistible might
of the British offensive in Flanders
is given by Lieutenant General Won
Ardenne, the military critic of the
Tageblatt of Berlin, who sends from
the Flanders front a graphic picture
Of the difficulties of the German de-
fense.
No way, he says, has been devised
to prevent the "hre roller" as the
Germans term the moving barrage,
from making slow and steady gains.
He reports the German losses as
very heavy if an attempt is made to
hold the front line trenches in force,
while thin line adds to the speed
Of the British advance.
"The sufferings of the defenders in
the front line" General Won Ardenne
writes, composed of shell holes al
most filled with water, are such that
the men must be relieved every two
days, instead Of every week or every
10 days as last year. The infantry now

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails, to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
By morning, most, if not all, Of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely 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
instantly and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better:
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-Adv.

Provost Marshal General
Calls for Draft Fiuures

Lincoln, Nov. s.-(Special)--Act-
ing on instructions from the provost
marshal general, Robert M. Joyce,
chairman OF the State Council OF De-
tense, has called upon local councils
OF defense to assist local exemption
boards in promptly compiling the
necessary data as to operation Of the
law under the FIRST draft. This COM
pilation will consist In summarizing
the data contained in the docket
sheets and the registration cards and
entering them on blank forms to be
forwarded to Washington. .
1t is announced that the provost
marshal general hopes that for this
purpose the patriotic services of capa-
BILE persons can be supplied to the
boards. The labor required would
vary from three days to two weeks,
according to the size of the area, and
could be performed on evenings at
the board Offices. The principals of
high schools would probably in many
cases be the most available helpers,
but all educated persons able to study
the directions and tabulate the figures
can be drawn upon with utility.

Soldiers Drown in Shell Holes;
Germans Hold at Frightful Cost

spends two days on the firing line,
two in support and two in reserve
until relieved.
THE German artillery is so numer-
ically inferior to the British that it
is seldom relieved and as it cannot
dig in, owing to the boggy ter
rain, it must fire without cover. The
conditions in the shell holes are such
that men falling into the center of
them are lost, unless assisted. Horses
breaking into the morass are shot
because it is impossible to extricate
them. German counter attacks can
traverse the FIRE roller only by small
detachments in single file. The
loss is slight if the maneuver sue
ceeds-otherwise"

concerning an advance from Dix

SAYS INTERSTATE
RATES LOW ASSTATE
Ed P. Smith, in Answer, De-
fends Glass Rates of State
Board as Against Through
Rates of Railroads.
(From a Staff correspondent.)

Lincoln, Nov. 8.-(Special)- ED P.
Smith, special attorney employed by
the state railway commission, con-
tends in an answer and cross petition
he has drawn and submitted to the
commission before filing it in federal
court that the Interstate Commerce
commission exceeded its lawful juris-
diction and powers in attempting to
annual class freight rates within the
state of Nebraska.
The attorney declares that the In
terstate Commerce commissions Or
der is not binding upon the Nebraska
commission and asks that the re-
straining order in effect to prevent
the latter from enforcing its class
rate schedule be dissolved.
Smith makes a general denial of
the allegations of the Burlington rail-
road upon whose application the
order was issued. The Burlington
acted on behalf of all the carriers
doing business in this state. The at
torney points out that the railway
commissions class rates applying
within the state were no lower than
those which the railroads had put
into effect voluntarily and maintained
for Is years on interstate shipments
coming into the state.
The petition shows that the rates
have been raised as follows on the
first five classes, and correspondihgly
on other classes:
First. From IS to % cents per 100
pounds.
Second. From II to 1875 cents.
Third. From 9 to 16.l cents.
Fourth. From 7 to 1873 cents.
Fifth. From 6 to 1908 cents.
1t is asserted in the cross petition
that the railroads did not avail them
selves of the remedy afforded them
by law, when they did not prosecute |
to the Nebraska supreme court their
appeal from the state commissions
order.

LITTLE GRUMBLING
At CAMP CODY NOW
Soldiers Submit CheerfuIly to
Hard Drilling, Keep Close to

American Spirit.

Camp Cody, Deming, N. NJ, Nov. s
I'm marked contrast with the atti.
tude of the soldiers of the National
Guard on the Mexican border last
year. the cheerfulness of the men
here and the alacrity with which they
go about their hard drilling and ath-
letic exercises is encouraging to unit
commanders. The effect of the first
week of hardening process is seen in
the seriousness each man seems to
exhibit while he is at it and after
ward, when rest hours come.
Last year, as soon as the perfume
tory foot drills and maneuvers were
over, generally shortly after noon,
there would be rush upon comman-
ders tor passes to go to town, hun
dreds making tracks for diversions
away from camp that would hold
some till late at night, and not a
few would fall for immoral tempta-
tions and land in the clutches of the
provost guard or prison. At this
camp the morale seems to be the
highest known in an army camp in
the southwest.
Men Work Hard.
1t seems to be the determination
of the majority of these $4,000 fight
ing men to keep their minds and
bodies on the business they volun-
teered for. as. they keep close to
