BRITISH REFUSE
 GERMANS AND TAKE
 HUNDREDS PRISONER
Haig's Forces Are Astride Hin. denburg Line Four Miles East of Vinny, With Guns Decimatng Enemy.
(By Review Leased Wi-e)

LONDON, May 3.-The official re port from British headquarters in France tonight says:
 Fierce fighting occurred through out the day from west of Queant to north of Fresnoy, four miles east of Vimy. The enemy again employed large reserves and delivered repeated counter attacks practically along the whole battle front.
 These hostile forces suffered hea- willy from our concentrated artillery and machine gun fire.
 Tn the face of obstinate resistance our troops this morning penetrated section of the Hindenberg line west of Queant and have maintained them selves there all day against constant and powerful attacks.
 Further progress also was made in the neighborhoOd of Cherisy, astride the Arras-Cambrai bank of the Scarpe, where the positions. which changed hands frequently, now are Tn our possession.
 "On the left of the battle front we captured the village Of Fresnoy and the enemy's positions south and north of Fresnoy on a front of two miles. We also gained a footing in the enc my's trenches system north of Oppy.
 Progress was made at other points and the fighting continues.
 "In addition to the enemy's severe losses in killed and wounded, we cap tured several hundred of German pri- soners.
 Great activity continues in the air. Four German airplanes were brought down yesterday in the aerial fighting and another hostile machine was shot down in our lines, in addition, our airplanes drove down five other enc my machines out of control and de stroyed four German kite balloons. One of our machines is missing.

DENVER, May 3.-Between thirty five and forty more arrests are to be made within two weeks in ine alleged interstate stolen geld conspiracy un- covered last night by the arrest of five men in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and one each in Cripple Creek. Colorado, San Francisco, and Denver, according to an official of the secret service branch of the treasury department here to- day.
 This officer, who has been at the center of the work of running down the conspiracy since it was undertaken by the government last December, said it originally had been planned to make no arrests until the matter had been submitted to the federal grand jury soon to meet at Cheyenne. He said, however, that Tuesday Toney Cuase, arrested yesterday in San Francisco, took steps which interfered seriously with this plan.
 Cuase offered s15.OOO in bullion at the mint Tuesday, the secret service man said, saying, Pm Joe Mex, a mining man from Nevada. I've got S15,o00 worth of gold I want to sell, 9 to which the mint officials said "all right; come back tomorrow"
 Cuase agreed to this, the secret ser vice man said, and the mint officials telegraphed him of the incident. While reluctant to change plans so far aG- vanced, the officials said it seemed too bad to let Toney get away with S15,000 in Cripple Creek sold" Plans were changed hastily and yesterdays arrests followed. Some of the persons connected with the affair have not been under close surveillance recently, the officer said, but general surveil- lance over all its ramifcations has been in effect for some time.
 Hhe officer first declined to say whether the arrests to be made in cluded any prominent people, but later qualified this by saying none were con templated in Denver as yet.
 The conspirators, he said, have been getting away with upward of s300,000 yearly in gold ore, mainly from mines in the Cripple Creek district, ana thefts had been going on for over two years.
 The governments attention first was attracted to the case by the num- Der and size of express shipments of gold made from Cheyenne, the officer said, who pointed out that shipments were being made to distant points

NET SET ID ENSNARE 40 GOLD
 H|GHGRADERS ALL OVER WEST

when the gold could have been sold to the Denver mint as readily if condi- tions were normal
 As told by. the officer, the affair seems to have centered in Cripple Creek where an assayer is said to have received the nigh grade gold ore from miners, melted it down and for warded the result, which ran from 990 to 1000 fine, to agents elsewhere, prob ably in Cheyenne, which appears to have been a distributing point for it, some one in Cheyenne apparently sent it on to agents in. Philadelphia, San Francisco or New York, who sold II to the hints of assay offices.
 The interest of the government in the case is explained as due to the fact that sales of stolen metal to the government departments put it in the position of receiving stolen goods.

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
 How to Remove Them.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckleface, to try a remedy for freckles with the guarantee of a reliable dealer that it will not cost you a penny unless it removes the freckles; while if it does give you a clear complexion the ex- pense is trihing.
 Simply get an ounce of othine - double strength-from any druggist and a few applications should show you how easy it is to rid yourself of the homely freckles and get beauti- full complexion. Rarely is more than one ounce needed for the worst case.
 Be sure to ask the druggist for the double strength othiIe as this is the prescription sold under guarantee Of money back if it fails to remove the freckles.

EXPORT EMDARGOES
 ROUSE OPPOSITION
 OF MANY SENATORS
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON. May 3.-The pro- vision in the administration espion- age bill authorizing the President to declare export embargoes was the ve- hicle for broad discussion in the sen ate today of food and related ques- tions. Little progress was made on the measure in an all day debate and vote on the embargo proposal prob ably will not be reached before Satur- day. There will be another vote on the press censorship section before the bill is finally disposed of next week.
 Considerable opposition developed to granting the President unlimited authority to fix embargoes. Several senators insisted that embareoes might discourage agricultural prOduc- tion.
 Prosecution of those cornering or speculating in food, Senator Reed urged, would make embargoes unnec- essary. while Senator Stone suggest ed taxes upon retail and wholesale food dealers, regulating cold storage and penalizing dealers who wilfully destroy food. High prices, Senator Reed said, are a certain guarantee of production and he advocated mini mum price fixing as a further guaran- tee. Senator Calder said minimum price fixing would be revolutionary. Senators Shields, Gore, Vardaman and Cummins were among those op- posing the embargo clause.

Join the Red Cross.

The Red Cross is one Of the
grandest, most. far-reaching and per-
manent institutions in the world,
with the president of the United
States as its working head and all
humanity as the object of its efforts.
To join the Red Cross you don't
have to pledge yourself to go to Eu-
rope as a war nurse. You don't have
to do anything but give your name
less you want to-. But if you are a
real patriot, and honestly wish to do
your part, you may do a great many
other things. Maybe you're outside
the age limit and not subject to the
army conscription bill! There's no
age limit to the Red Cross. Maybe
you're physically unfit to volunteer
for the firing line! There's no bodily
handicap that will keep you from
doing Red Cross duty. Maybe you
We got dependents at home and they
cannot spare you for the front. You
can still give some time to the Red
Cross work. There is room for every
patriot in the nation in the Red
Cross.
The Red Cross is the angel of
mercy to the millions of war worn
peoples of the world. 1t deserves
the support of every man, woman
and child in America.
Its appeal already has gone out
through the land. Millions of dol
lars must be raised if it's work is to
be done on scale compatible. with
the gigantic ruin that grins over. a
must rejoice to meet the expecta-
tions of the officials who are devot-
ing time and energy to this benevo-

this territory. And they say Barney
is as swift as his namesake, the great
auto racer, but devotes his speed in
an altogether, different line of busi-
ness. Leon people will welcome Mr..
and Mrs. Oldfield to this city.
