LONDON, Tuesday, Nov. 5.


r THE moment Of writing there
are four points of strategical
~ interest. They are she French
= advance on Audenarde, the
canadian passage of Valenciennes, the
r,erch- American advance of the "con-
4aining wing" upon the Meuse, and the
oreat victory of Italy in the Second
Rattle of the Piave. Of these the last
!, the most important, but both because
!, ;s liable to neutrality-suspicious. and be-
,.use It particularly concerns American
rsaders, will begin with the affairs of
he Containing wing"
eynlained last week the function OF
4b;s wing and why slight progress there
~ even no progress at all, but mere
maintenance Of pressure, was of vital
;r,nortance to the whole front. 1t is
bore that the American First Army
stands nearer by far than any other
,roons to the narrow track railway COM
munjcation by which all the German
,roons between the Disc and the Melsc
ara supplied. 1t is matter of life and
aeath to the German line to prevent this
,ailway getting under the range Of fire
snvyhere west Of Montm&dy.

4 ction in This Sector
n A Determining Factor

The nearest point on the railway,
Rroueuves. about five miles west of
aIontmedy, is at range Of $4,000 yards
from the most advanced American posts
at Clery-le-Grand, or, say, $4,000 yards
from the nearest American heavies. At
such range all the country through
which the railway runs can be searched
by long range fire, but Of course, at
such distance as not to interrupt CON-
niunications.
The experience of this war has shown
that q line is hardly put out of use until
the most advanced posts Of attack are
within 5000 yards and the heavies be-
hind them are, say, 5000 or 5000 yards
away. Even at such ranges the Haze
hrouck railways were precariously used
by the Allies during the Lys offensive Of
he Germans last April.
But though the railway is still safe,
any Allied advance down the Mouse Val
ley toward il is so much the more peril
GUS to the whole German position. Every
thing is done, therefore, on the German
side to keep this part of the front, the
belt in front of Montmedy, secure. The
enemy is compelled, even, in order to
heck the Allied advance, to put in fresh

SIMPLE WAY To
END DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff
at once. and that is to dissolve it,
then you destroy 1t entirely. To
do this, just get about four
ounces of plain. common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this
is all you will need, apply it at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it In
gently with the finger tips.
By morning. most II not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of It. no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find 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 a hundred
times better. adv.

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN
WASH THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because it is fad,
but because they wish to obtain
the greatest possible hair beauty
and be sure they are not using
anything harmful. They have
found that in washing the hair it
is never wise to use a makeshift,
but is always advisable to use a
preparation made for shampooing
only. Many of our friends say
they get the best results from a
simple homemade Canthrox mix
ture. You can use this at q cost
of about 3 cents shampoo by
getting some Canthrox from your
druggist and dissolving a tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water.
This makes enough shampoo
liquid to apply to all the hair in
stead of just the top of the head,
as with most preparations. DAN
|druff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in
the rinsing water. Your hair will
be so fluffy that it will look much
heavier than it is. It's luster and
Isoftness will also delight you.

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of
women have kidney and bladder
trouble and never suspect 1t.
Women's complaints often
prove to be nothing else but kid
ney trouble, or the result of
kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a
healthy condition, they may cause
the other organs to become dis
eased.
Pain in the back, headache
loss of ambition, nervousness, are
often times symptoms of kidney
trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
physicians prescription. obtained
at any drug store, may be just
the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size
bottle Immediately from any drug
store.
However, II you wish first to
test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, for a sample
bottle. When writing be sure and
mention Dept. M.

IS
ACCUSED
BY COOK

Fraud on the part of p. HI.
Hebb of Tacoma and deceit
full transactions leading up
to the reported sale Of the
Hebb power site on the
White river to Stone 4 Web
ster interests, are charged
i'm a suit filed in the supe-
riOr court Tuesday by
Charles A. Cook, former
county assessor and now
candidate for city controller.
Cook, alleging he has been de-
frauded of one-third interest In
the property to which he Is
legally entitled, brings the suit
against Hebb, Mrs. Minerva Hebb
and the Mountain Development
Co.
He asks the court to decree him
the owner of one-third the
stock and property of the Noun
tain Development Co. and one
third the proceeds of the sale.
Claims Assets Concealed.
The complaint declares that
Hebb and his wife are bankrupt
so far as their manifest assets
are concerned, and that their as
sets and means available for pay
ing debts and legal obligations
are concealed and tied up in the
stock of the corporation or Its
hidden proceeds.
1t charges that the develop
ment corporation is being "clan-
destinely managed" and that un-
less prevented 1t will pay over
the money from the sale to Hebb
and his wife, who will conceal 1t
and defraud Cook OF his rights.
For this reason an injunction
is asked, restraining the Noun
tain Development Co. from pay
ing out any money, turning over
any property, giving any orders
for payment of money or deliv-
cry of property to Hebb. Also an
order is asked restraining the
Hebbs from assigning or dispos-
ing of any stock of the corpora
ton.
Asks Damages, Too.
In addition to a final account
ing, Cook asks for judgment OF
damages for within gliding any
property to which he is entitled.
Cook alleges that in the fall OF
1900 he entered into an agree
ment with the Hebbs to furnish
them valuable information Tor
procuring rights of water and
water power of the upper waters
of the White river.
In return, he claims. 1t was
agreed that he should have one
third interest in the rights after
they were secured, the Hebbs to
hold this interest in the property
in trust for him.
Made 500 payment.
He charges that in November,
1908, to defraud him, the Hebbs
organized the Mountain Develop
ment Co. to acquire the rights
and perfect the power site. Cook
claims he then demanded his one
third stock interest, and that
Hebb promised that when the
sale of the stock was made he
would pay him $1,000, provided
he would relinquish his interest
and rights at the time of the
sale.
1t is alleged the sale was not
made until the close Of 1917, for
100000. Cook then demand
ed the performance Of the agree
ment. The Hebbs paid him
800, promising to pay the re-
mainder soon, It Ia claimed.
Since then, 1t is alleged, the
Hebbs have refused to live up to
their agreement.

NO! SHOUTS HISTORY.

To make accurate her portrayal of
Cleopatra, sovereign queen of Egypt
for William F'ox's Superpicture, Cleo
patra," showing at the Isis today and
tomorrow. Miss Bara studied many
books and paintings.
There is only one authentic represen
tation of Cleopatra in the world, and
that is a bust in the British Museum.
A few coins bear a likeness of the
queen, but none of these shows good
workmanship.
The Egyptian reliefs on the walls of
Dendereh Temple and in other places
show the queen only in a convention
allied likeness, and cannot be regarded
as real portraits. There is also a bust
in the Alexandria Museum which is
popularity supposed to represent Cleo
patra, but most Egyptologists agree
that it is some other woman.
