ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY
Heavy artillery actions are again
in progress on the Flanders front.
London's official report today speaks
Of strong bombardment of the new
British positions on the Main Pass

Broodseinde. In the light of previ-
0us experience this may be Viewed
as indicating German counter battery
work against the intensive British ar
Ellery fire in progress preparatory
TO another push.
The British artillery now has SUI
perior positions from which to work,
as there must by this time have been
ample opportunity for the heavy
guns to be put in position on the
dominating high ground taken in the
recent advances. It thus seems pos
sible that Field Marshal Haig will
not delay his next stroke beyond the
time when these guns have had an
opportunity to break up such con-
crete construction as the Germans
have been able to construct in what
they describe as their defensive
zone," which week by week is being
forced further eastward.
The weather however, is a decided
ly important element in this consider

The situation on the northern front
front continues critical, with the Ger
mans overrunnig the island of Oesel
and rapidly pursuing their program
of gaining complete control of the
Gulf or Riga. Russian military OBJ
servers expect speedy extension of
the German operations to the main
land, probably on the Esthonian
coast, whence a movement toward
Petrograd might be pushed.

railroads are expected to follow those

OSTRICHES HALF NAKED
after Indians VISIT
Need Special Detail to Watch Red
skins at Zoo.

The ostriches at the Zoo have become
peevish at the very sight Of Indians.
Every tribe from Montana to Arizona
seems to know about the local animal
garden, and when q delegation comes to
town to see the Great White Father they
hike for the Zoo Just as soon as they're
OF the train.
Nowadays, Of course, neither Apaohes
nor Navajos wear feathers, even in their
festivals. Just the same they seem to
have q mania for collecting them.
The Zoo gives the crafty old boys q
great opportunity. Out there Is a fine
string Of ostriches which wander along
the wire fence all unsuspecting, and it Is
no trick for a quick hand to grab several
plumes. The peacocks roam at will
through the park and are also easily
plucked, and even the eagles are foolish
enough sometimes to let their tail feath-
ers project through the wire screen.
The Indians made such a cleanup a
bit ago that several of the ostriches
looked as II they had been in Belgium,
and the peacocks were about the sorriest
looking things in these parts. There prob
ably was great rejoicing back in Arizona
the next day, though.
The Indians have gotten in so bad with
Superintendent Hollister that they are
about as welcome as pickpockets. and
when a delegation hoves in sight several
keepers are detailed to follow them.

Lee Moque.

Mrs. Alice Lee Moque-writer, suf-
fragette. anti-pacifist. grandmother-will
start to organize regiment of lighting
women In Washington this week.
Mrs. Moque admits she is the most un-
relenting anti-paeifst in Washington.
In 1888 she organized fighting regi-
ment-virile women who wore khaki, who
could march all day long, and who could
shoot straight-and she had no trouble
getting loo OF them
Now she's grandmother. but she says
she feels just as zippy as she did In 90,
and she knows she can march Just as
far and shoot just as straight.
She Is going to advertise for recruits
among her suffrage and author and anti
pacifist friends in Washington organize
regular regiment Of LOO women, and
make veterans out of them this summer.
IF there is any fighting to be done
this summer" said Mrs. Moque yesterday.

our Springfelds and let pacihst gentle
men sit home and tend the babies''
Mrs. Moque has had much military
training and is quite well enough equipp-
ed to be colonel of a regiment. but she
will not allow herself to be made colo

thinks REFERENDUM
CERTAIN To CARRY
William F. GUIDE Says House Will Grant
Citizens Petition.

"Washingtonians who know me best are
well aware of the intensity OF my desire
for a referendum on the proposed prohi-
bition bill," said William r. GUIDE. chair
man of the District of Columbia Refer
cndum Association, former president Of
the Chamber of Commerce and active in
the civic affairs of the National Capital.
II have enjoyed the personal acquaint-
ance of the members of this and many
previous Congresses, and feel sure that
the members of the House OF Representa-
tives will look upon this question in the
broad light of an American principle, and
will, therefore, grant the petition pre-
sented by all our best organizations for a
referendum.
Charles J. Columbus. manager OF the
referendum hearings before the House
District Committee, also believes Wash
ington will be allowed to vote on prohibi-
ton.
Il confidently expect that the real
Americanism of the House of Representa-
tives will assert itself and that a refer
endum will be granted" he said
THE hearing before the committee de-
veloped the fact that this Is not parti-
san matter. Men, and one woman, repre-
senting all political faiths demanded, in
the name of their organizations, that the
great American principle of the peoples
voice in che determination of public ques-
tons should be heard before those uues-
tions were finally decided by Congress.
THE appeals for referendum came from
individuals who personally represented
both sides OF the liquor question but
all were unanimous in appealing for ref
erendum."

RUMOR OF EXTENSION
Old Dominion Not Planning Line to
Columbus. Ohio.

Colin H. Livingstone, president Of the
Washington and Old Dominion Railway
last night dispelled a persistent rumor
that the company proposed to extend its
lines to Columbus. Ohio. by declaring
the line has no such intention.
I'VE have been making surveys for
several years with a view Of extending

said. I'VE are trying to do this at the
lowest cost, and II we can raise the

THE surveys are being made from

minus into the valley. We must go over
or under a mountain and we will prob
ably go over it first, and II the business
warrants IT, build the tunnel later.
It believe these rumors emanate from
real estate operators anxious to learn
our plans and route for speculative pur-
poses. You can say definitely that there
is nothing to the report that we con-
template entering Columbus. Ohio, by any
traffic arrangement with the Wabash
road that would give them an Atlantic

u. S. BARES MYSTERY
| OF ROQUEfORT CHEESE
Luxury Due for Big Price Drop in
Conseouence.


Better Roquefort cheese is being made
in Washington today than in its native
habitat Experts in the dairy division Of
the Department of Agriculture are maxi
ing 1t out of ordinary cows milk at that,
whereas French cheesemakers use ex-
pensive sheep's milk. The experiments
have been going on eight years.
Heretofore all RoQuefort cheese has
come from France and enormous guam
titles are imported each year. The price
has steadily gone UP until now one has
to pay about 80 cents pound, with the
prospect of soon paying double that for
French Roquefort ....-
The difficult part in making Roquefort
was to get It properly aged-to get the
mold started, and the cheese properly
colored.
The French age their cheese in lime
stone caves which have q low tempera-
ture and high humidity. The cheese Is
kept in these caves about four months
and is carefully watched. 1t has never
been possible heretofore to make good
Roquefort by aging It in any other way.
The experts in the dairy division, work
ing under Chief Bacteriologist l. A.
Rogers, had no caves In the District, 30
they got some special refrigerators that
make the old French caves obsolete. They
found that the refrigerator served better
than the caves in every way.
After they learned how to age the
cheese they were confronted with the
scarcity and high prices of sleeps milk.
which the French insisted was q neces-
sity. The experts treated cows milk in
special way and found they could make
just as good or better Roquefort with H.
Now that the cheese has been made in
experimental laboratories here 1t will be
made on a commercial scale at the de-
partment creamery and cheese factory at
Grove City, Pa. and the process then
turned over to all American cheese man.
ufacturers who want It,
In little while probably Roquefort
cheese will drop to 20 or 80 cents a pound
