Pleased By Their Capture.
Meanwhile the bulk OF the French
troops continued their advance both
here and on other parts of the line.
Telephone reports from various
sectors told of the successes, some
times big, sometimes small, of the diff
ferent corps engaged. Everywhere be-
hind the advancing French groups of
German prisoners were to be seen on
their way to captivity.
Before evening more than 10000 had
been counted and others were arriv-
ing. Some OF the prisoners told OF
exceedingly severe losses, their COM
pany being reduced in several cases
from $50 to, eighty men or there
abouts.
All seemed pleased over their cap
ture, some OF them saying that there
would be many assertions except for
the constant vigilance of their su-
periors, as most of them were tired OF
the war.

Nuxated Iron Makes Strong,
Vigorous, Iron Men and Beautiful
Healthy Rosy Checked Women

Dr.. Howard James, formerly Resi-
dent Physician of New York City Hos.
pital and Assistant Physician of New
York State Institutions, says:
Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living tissue.
Without it, no matter how much or what
you eat, your food merely passes thrugh
you without doing you any good. You don't
get the strength out of Il, and as a conse-
quence you become weak, pale and sickly
looking. just like plant trying to grow in
soil deficient in iron. A patient of mine
remarked to me latter having been on a six
weeks course of Nuxated Iron): Say, Doc
tor. that there stuff 10 like magic
IF you are not strong or well you owe
1t to yourself to make the following test:
See how long you can work or how far you
can walk without becoming tired. Next take
two five-grain tablets of nuxated iron three
times per day after meals for two weeks.
Then test your strength again and see how
much you have gained From my own ex-
perience with Nuxated Iron. feel it is such
a valuable remedy that it should be kept in

GERMANS RESIST
WITH UTMOST FURY
French Press On Successfully
Despite Powerful Attacks
of Enemy.
BIG GUNS CLEAR THE ROAD

| tFrom a Staff Correspondent Of The Asso-
| ciated Press.)
Grand Headquarters of the French
Army on the French Front MONDAY
Night, April IS Delayed. Mot only
did the French army get astride and
partly around the so-called linden
burg line today, but, in doing so. they
captured many thousands of German
prisoners. '
After one of the most intensive ar
tillery bombardments of the war, the
French tonight advanced along anoth-
er twenty-five mile front. Shells were
poured daily into the German posi-
tons and this morning from north of
scissors to just west of Rheims the
French infantry started the work for
which they had been patiently waiting.
Germans Resist Stubbornly.
The Germans opposed the advance
with their utmost power, bringing into
play thousands of cannon and machine
guns, which had been emplaced in the
most advantageous positions. Moth
ing, however, could withstand the gal
lantry and skill of the French, whose
ardor was strengthened by the sight
of the desolation through which they
passed.
The correspondent watched one
phase of the battle from a prominent
position in the new French advance.
The brigade, with which he was sta
toned, was composed of troops who
had won the highest fame in pushing
back the Germans around Verdun.
Now, as then, it was under the COM
Inand of colonel, who proudly told
the correspondent that he had fought,
beside both Americans and British in
the Boxer war.
Capture Difficult Position.
Part of the brigade's task today
was the capture of position forming
one of the most difficult problems
along the line owing to its being un-
dermined its whole length and
breadth by deeply tunnelled quarries
whose galleries were immune to ar
tillery and bristling with machine
guns.
There was no hesitation among the
French soldiers when the order to ad-
vance was given, but they did not
throw their lives away. There was no
hurry; every movement was executed
as if on parade. Advantage was taken
of every inch of cover, and thus the
infantry were able to. approach up the
sloping ground until within striking
distance of the numerous entrances to
the tunnelss then they encircled the
whole plateau and left sufficient men
around to prevent the garrison's re-
treat or its communication with the

United States Will Lend.
Biz Sums to Russ Government

Washington, April 1s.-The Ameri-
can government is only awaiting def
mite word from Russia as to the needs
of that nation before taking active
steps to strengthen the new govern
ment and make more effective its re-
sistance to Germany. No specific re-
quest for assistance has been re-
ceived. n. ~.
1t is taken for granted that a large
sum will be lent to Russia if it is de-
sired, because it is agreed, that the
United States should go to almost
any lengths to assist the new demo-
cratic regime there. A group of
American engineers will be sent to
Russia, if requested, to assist in. sys-
tematizing industries there. -

30 Reavis to Judiciary.
The only change in the Nebraska

on coinage, weights and measure, ex-
penditures in the Department of Agri-
culture and war claims, of which he
was member in the sixty-fourth
congress,
Congressman Sloan retains his po-
sition on ways and means. Judge
Kinkaid retains his place on irriga-
ton of arid lands, where he is the
ranking minority member. If the
house should be republican in 1918

committee.

few changes. Representative Ramsey
of Bloomfield, leaves elections and
invalid pensions and goes to the COM
mittee on postoffices and post roads.
