experts both in the United States and

NEW OFFENSIVE
BY ALLIES
ON BALKAN FRONT

NEW YORK, May 11.-(Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day,)-Along the en-
tire Macedonian front in the Balkans
from Monastir to Lake Doiran, a dis
tance of 200 miles, the Entente Allies
have opened a great offensive. Artil-
lery there is roaring day aud night in
every sector, but there is no indica-
tion yet as to where the main attack
of the advance will be made. Bitter
fighting is proceeding however in the
benda of the Cerna river and along
Iitory, military critics all agree the
Allies must force their way in order
to insure success of their campaign.
In France the deadlock continues,
but the Allies are massing their re-
sources for a heavy blow. General
Maurice, as chief director of British
Infantry operations, announced today
that the coming blow is to be the even
nightier than those which opened the
battles of Arras and the Somme.
There is still some question as to
whether or not the Russian govern
ment will 1inally weather the storm
p-ecipitated by the socialists, and in
any event there is little likelihood of
any effective military action on the
part of Russia soon.
According to unconfrmed reports, an
Austrian commission is now on its way
to Switzerland with the object of open
ing separate peace negotiations with
France.
Eighteen British and French air
planes were brought down during yes
terday by the Germans, according to a
Berlin official announcement

STRONG APPEAL
MADE BY MOORE
At BIC MEETING

Last night before one of the largest
congregations of the meeting, Evangel-
ist Moore preached from the text:
What Shall / Do With Jesus ?" Tell
ing the congregation Matthew's story
Of Plate asking the mob which he
should release, the mob shouted Bar
abbas,' and demanded that Jesus be
crucified. Today each and every one
of us do one of the two things. we
either accept Jesus, or we cruelty him.
Sinners here tonight who listen to this
sermon will do one of the two things.
Mr.. Moore in the course of his re-
marks said Many today think that it
lis cowardly thing to become a
Christian, but | want to tell you that
it is the most manly thing in the world.
A great many men feel that religion
is all right for women, children, weak
lirgs and preachers, but want to tell
you that it takes man or woman
with backbone to be Christian. Pres
ident Mckinley was a Christian, and
still some of you men think that you
would be lowering yourself if you were
to give your heart to God. Queen Vic
toria took Britains crown and laid it
at the foot of the cross, and yet some
of you women think it would ruin you
socially if you were to be Christian
Why, there are some of you young la
dies right here tonight who would con-
slider it a real calamity il for any rea-
son you should become converted Some
of you think you might be an old maid,
WELL l guess that there are some
married women right here who wish
they were old maids. There are lot
OF worse things than being an aid maid
Friends l entreat you to give your
hearts to God. Do not cruelty Jesus.
who has done so much for you You
have never done much for Him, yet he
was on the cross for six hours for
you; He gave up Heaven for the cross;
he gave up the alteration of the angels
for the jeers of the mob, and still you .
cont seem to appreciate it. Think this
matter over and ask yourself the ques-
Ition: What have l done for Jesus?'
He will never so close to you again,
ard if were you l would accept him
and go forth from this place new
creature in Christ
The singing of the choir is one of the
most enjoyable features of the revival,
and quite large number of folks are
Gcing their best to make this part of
the work a success. Last night, by
special request, the choir repeated the
chorus, "All Hail, Emanuel" Mr.. Sta
pleton sung Some Ones Last CALL
This was beautiful selection, and was
intently listened to.
This afternoon at 8 30, Mr. Stapleton
will speak to the children and young
folks, and he assures them of very
interesting hour He will give his
Vase Sermon
There will be no preaching tomor-
row, as Saturday is the rest day for
the evangelist, but Sunday there will
be three services. Announcements OF
these will be made later

TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN
ACTRESS DOES

No class of people devotes as
much time to beauty as do &C
tresses, and no class must be
more careful to retain and de-
velop their charms. Inquiry de-
velops the information that in
hair care they find it dangerous
to shampoo with any makeshift
hair cleanser. The majority say
that to have the best hair wash
and scalp stimulator at a cost of
about three cents, one need only
get a package of canthrox from
your druggist; dissolve a tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water
and your shampoo is ready. This
makes enough shampoo liquid to
apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head. After its
use the hair dries rapidly, with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are quickly dissolved
and entirely disappear when you
rinse the hair. After this your
hair will be so fluffy that it will
look much heavier than it is. Its
luster and softness will also de-
light you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which in
sures hair growth.-Adv.
