Naon, Of Argentina, was an early
caller at the state department today

There was little doubt that the am

connection with the 400 dispatches
passing thru the Swedish legation In
Argentina, which are believed to show
further evidence how Count Luxburg,
the German charge in Puenos Aires
used the neutral legation to COM
municate secretlx with Berlin.

the return Of Premier Kerensky from
the front, determined yesterday that
the premier and General Verskoffsky
shall appear before the democratic

action followed q four-hour session OF
the committee at the Winter Palace.
at which the attitude Of Premier Ker-

TALLY this:
while the government is not bound
to recognize the democratic congress
and is not conceding that 1t represents
the greater part Of Russia, it is ad-
mitted that the congress represents q
large percentage Of the people thru ele-
ments that must be taken into con-
understood the congress will convene
for q short time and then adjourn over
one day to begin its activities on Sat
urday"
Lsnins May Appear.
On the eve Of the opening of tho
congress sensation was created by q
report that Nikolai Lenine, the ex-
tremist leader. has reached the cap
ital from Finland. It II said he In
tends to appear A. the chief orator Of
the BoIshev.ki at the congress. which
he is confident will defend him.
Tho Bolshevakis continue to exert
influence over the representatives Of
the provincial councils Of woFkmen's
and soldiers delegates. The president
Of the Moscow council Of workmen and
soldiers has resigned as result Of
the adoption by the council Of reso-
luton unfriendly to the government.
In elections of representatives to the
congress the Bolsheviki candidates re-
ceived the most votes.

place the following tasks upon tho
cabinet:
Settle the Kornilofr affair, reabolish
capital punishment strain efforts to

sible the constituent assembly to dis
solve the duma and the council Of the

their work today and did it wen. The
hghting about Tower Hamlets was
very severe and the Germans were
able to get heavy gunfire on the Brit
ish from positions to the south.
Along the Menin road the English
made the slight advance called for un-
der a withering machine gun and ar
tillery fire. North of the Ypres- Menin
road the line of advance swung ont
much farther into enemy territory in
order to include the Pelygon wood and
other important positions.
Little Trouble For Australians.
The Australians, who negotiated
most Of the territory between the
/Ypres- Roulers railway and the Ypres-
Menin road, appear to have had COM
paratively little trouble in getting thru
with the exception Of narrow stretch
Just south of Polygon wood where the
Germans held in tenaciously for a
time.
They had to fight their way thru a
more or less intricate trench system
to Polygon wood and encountered a
great number Of blockhouses, which
turned vicious machine gun and rifle
fire against them. Among the troops
opposing them were Poles.
The men made good start in get
ting over the top and swept thru the
eastern portion Of Polygon wood.
The Germans in redoubts on tbs
eastern slope Of this wood surrendered
and within a comparatively short time
the Australians were shrging across
the race course on the level below.
Loss Of Attackers Small.
North Of Polygon wood, the Austria
lians covered the ground assigned to
them in two hours and twenty min
utes the average depth Of their ad-
vance being 1000 yards. The entire
Australian operation was accomplished
with exceedingly small casualties.
q It was a proud day for those Eng
llish troops who forced their way into
the western end pf zonnebeke village
Not since the bitter period Of. April,
1915 when the British were compelled
to withdraw from this place had an
allied soldier entered it. The wound
of this defeat was healed largely to-
day. In the sector north OF .Zonne-
beke the offensive proceeded system
atically until the final line was
crossed.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR,
THICK, WAW, FREE
FROM DANDRUFF
Draw a moist cloth through
hair and double it's beauty
at once.
Save your hair! Dandruff
disappears and hair stops
coming out.

Immediate ?-Yes! Certain THAT'S
the joy of it. Your hair becomes light,
wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as
soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young
girls after an application of Dander-
inc. Also try this-moisten cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. This will
cleanse the hair Of dust, dirt or ex-
cessive oil, and In just few moments
you have doubled the beauty Of your
hair. A delightful sUAprise awaits
those whose hair has been neglected
or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or
thin. Besides identifying the hair,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and in
vigorates the scalp, forever stopping
itching and falling hair, but what will
please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new .air-
fine and downy at f1rst-yes-but real
ly new hair growing all over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. 1t goes right to the roots,
invigorates and strengthens them. Its
exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro-
ducing properties cause the hair to
grow long, strong and beautiful.
You can surely have pretty, charm
ing lustrous hair, and lots Of it, if you
will just get 25-cent bottle of Knowl-
toms Danderine from any drug store
or toilet counter and try it as directed.
