Austria In Retreat
l. LONDON, Aug. 28.-Italy's sweep
forward from Monte Santo across the
plateau OF Bainsizza Is fast becoming
debacle Of defeat for Austria. The
Austrian staff has decreed rettrements
at several places to save whole divis-
ions from thanking moves. The morale
of the retreating troops, constantly
battered by Italian, French and British
long range guns and attacked tnces-
sanity by Italian flyers. is steadily de-
creasing.
New Austrian troops have been
rushed to the places of the exhausted
defenders and are desperately but
vainly striving to stem the flood OF
the Italian offensive, which burst
through when Monte Santos subjuga-
tion was completed.
Today's front dispatches indicated
not only pursuit OF the retreating Aus
trians across Bainsizza, but attacks
further south by the Italians at the
chain of rocky propontories OF which
Kuk, Monte Santo and the Vodice are
the three largest.

100000 men) have been withdrawn
on account of losses.
The German high commands usual
practice is to withdraw a division
for reorganization after its losses
have taken from two thousand to
$500 men.
Taking this as basis, it can be
assumed that II Germany has with.
drawn thirty divisions, her losses
must be anywhere from sixty thou.

A conservative estimate would put
them considerably above fifty thou
sand.
Seven German divisions which
were on the Flanders front on July
l are still there.
These estimates of losses do not
take into account the huge casualties
which the enemy has sustained of
late around Verdun and the Chemin
Des Danes.

MOSCOW, Aug. 28-President Will
sons message to the Russian confer
ence electrified that assembly today.
His promise that America would
aid new Russia with all moral and
material power" was greeted with
thunderous cheers. His entire state
ment produced a deep impression
coming as 1T did after speeches by
cabinet officials had barred Russia's
grave need Of financial, industrial
and moral aid
The presidents cable was received
labored for long hours before that.
The great hall Of the meeting was
stilled as the tired delegates pre-
pared to leave.
The message was read by
Premier Kerensky amid sill
ence that bespoke eager attention.
Then came a storm of cheering.
Every delegate in the hall arose to
his feet. The bedlam Of sound con-
tinued for several minutes. 1t was
the first time since the conference
assembled that there was any unani-
nifty of action. Even the cadet party
members Joined in the demonstration.
Heretofore they have sat stolidly,
almost glumly, applauding no speak
ers except those Of their own party.
The chasm between these quiet
cadet forces and the workmen's ana
soldiers representatives was just as
wide early today when the session
concluded as it was in preceding
meetings. The single point of unani-
nifty between the two forces devell
oped in the reading Of Wilson's mes
sage.

fashion reminiscent of the old days
of autocracy. Cossacks patrol the
city hall where the conference meets.

Prof. Paul N. Milukoff. new foreign
minister and the lever that overturned
Russian bureaucracy, is widely known
ways has been very determined
fighter for progress in Russia. He
was the founder and has always been
the leader of the most progressive
block Of the duma. the Cadet party.
He Is widely known and highly es-
teemed in the allied countries and
probably understands Russian foreign
affairs and the relations of Russia to
her allies better than almost anyone
else.
Milukoff's leadership in the revolu-
ton has given to it a genuinely Amer
lean tinge, for he is imbued with many
American ideas and ideals, which he
studied and acquired during his lee
ture tour of America in 1907. His
leaning toward American institutions
was so pronounced that when he re-
turned to Russia the reactionaries in
the duma Kissed him as the Ameri-
can"
AS long ago as May of last year
Milukoff sounded the British and
French governments on their attitude
toward a revolution in Russia. In
London and Paris the idea was given
a cold reception. He returned home

he continued his onslaughts in the

He stirred the duma in the follow

against the dark forces" which they
were convinced We're undermining the

In January Berlin, which in some
manner has been able to keep in close
touch with Petrosrad, sent out the
report that the democratic leader of

Sure Way to Get
Rid of 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, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tins.
By morning, most ID not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications 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 in
stantly, 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.

CHICAGO GRAIN

Chicago, March 26--Show in Kansas
and Nebraska offset to some extent
today's alarming crop reports which
had caused a sharp advance in prices.
The market closed weak at $190%1
1.90ss for May and at $1.63A 61.63A
for July, with the range as a whole q
off to is up, compared with Satur-
days finish. Latest trading left corn
at Is decline to u advance; oats down
Il to x and provisions unchanged to
5 cents lower.
Damage in the winter wheat belt was
represented as so severe that forecasts
were circulated indicating the govern
ment report in April would put the
crop condition. at one of the lowest
stages in many years. with Kansas
and Nebraska percentages under 20.
The fact was evident that the rapid
ity of the advance since Thursday had
weakened the technical position of the
bulls and had made at least a tempo
rary setback almost inevitable.
Corn weakened with wheat. Oats
followed other cereals. A feature was
the sale of 100000 bushels for immedi-
ate shipment to New Orleans.
