Ancient Soap Making.

A soap boilers shop WAS among the
things discovered ia the excavation at
Pompeii several years ago. The city
was buried beneath volcanic ashes A.
ID. 70. II is said that the soap found
in the shop had not lost all efficacy,
although 1t had lain under the ashes
more than eighteen hundred years.
Soap making was quite "a business in
a number of the Italian cities at the
time that Pompeii "a destroyed.
Pliny the elder speaks of soap, and
says that because It's price was so
high many substitutes were used,
among them a kind of glutinous earth
and fine sand mixed in the juice of
certain plants that made lather. His
tory tells us that the Gauls made soap
two thousand years ago by combining
beech tree ashes and goats fat.

Riga's Capture lesson.
Gane~ai von Hutier, who is repute0
to have laid the plans for the capture
of Riga, has come to the western
front % assist in the preparation. The
lessons of the capture of Riga have
been preached religiously to the Ger
man troops. 1t has been pointed out
that there preliminary lombard
ment of four or five hours to cut the
enemy wire and demolish defenses'
was sufficient to give the Germans a
firm footing in the Russiaa positions
The enemy troops have not been tolo,
however, that the morale of the Rus
slams at Riga was very low and thal
tho Cerman attack was a complete
surprise.
The Germans will find the allied
morale at the highest pitch on the
western front, and their attack will
he far from the surprise desired. Tne
allies are ready for big blow ana
await with assurance the next move
of the German high command.
The German attack cannot be delay

civilians and soldiers are keyed UP 10

NEW METHODS TO EE USED b
HUNS IN SUPREME AND FINAL
DRIVE UPON WESTERN FRONT
Plans of German Leaders Complete,
Troops Carefully Trained, and
Great Offensive May be EX-
pected Any Time Now.

British Army Headquarters ir
France, Feb. 19.-The Great Ger
man offensive on the western front
may be expected to begin at any mo-
ment now and as far as the British
front is concerned the main thrust
will be made on the sector between
Arras and ST. Quentin.
Tanks and "a new mysterious gas
will be employed by the enemy in toe
attempt to break through the allied
line. Other attacks will be delivered
further south. These facts have be-
come known through captured Ger
man prisoners and from Information
cleaned in other ways.
The plans of the German high COM
mand are complete and after many
weeks of Intensive tAaingin OF assault
ing troops they are ready to make
the supreme and final effort which
has been advertised so widely in the
past weeks.
Old Methods too Well hnown.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
General Won Ludendorh appear u
have realized that the old methods OF
attack in which a long bombardmen'
is employed are too we'll known to
produce the results desired. Accord
ingly, the German troops are Delns
told that surprise attacks, sucn as
were used in Galicia last summer, al
Riga and again on the lsonzo' are "
be tried against the allies on the
estern front.
Much stress has been laid on the
fact that tanks and new gas are TO
he used, leaving the infantry little to
do but to walk through the gaps ami
consoIidat the positions captured
German troops have been trained to
make long approach marches ana
then TO storm enemy positions alter

Those obstacles which the German
artillery has not obliterated will De
rushed by the troops or ignored Ihe
German infantry will rely on weight
Of numbers, masses of machine guns
and mobile batteries to flnlsa th''
work beoun by the tanks and gas.
Word has been passed out by the
German high command that few OF
the allied troops will survive the
effects of the tanks, the gas and the
bonbardment, and that fresh German
,nfantry will overcome speedily any
,o.;ct,nce offered in captured posi-
tions.
