OFFERS HER BLOOD TO
SAVE LIFE OF ANOTHER
Unknown Woman, Apparently of
Wealth, Refuses Reward.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-An I'M
known woman, apparently Of wealth,
and certainly well dressed and hand
some, answered a recent appeal of a
local hospital for human blood to be
transfused in a patient. The woman
offered herself and permitted a quart
Of blood to be drawn. A reward of
$25 had been offered, and when the
operation of drawing the blood was
completed and she was offered the
money she asked that the check be
made out to the Red Cross.

DIVISIONS SHAPING
FOR EXTRA SESSION
ONE SPLIT is BETWEEN PAR
TIES, OTHER THE HOUSE
AND THE SENATE.
DIFFERENCE OVER THE 1920
REVENUE MEASURES OMNIBUS

Belief Is Growing That the President
Cannot Avoid an Extra Session of
the New Congress-Deadlock Pos
sible Over Postal Zone.
WASHINGTON, D. c. Straws
show which way the wind blows, and
the wind blows a good deal at Wash
ington.
Those who believe themselves ex-
pert at observing straws on the fly
are generally inclined to predict that
the republican minority in congress
will undertake to force an extra ses-
sion by blocking the revenue bill or
some other essential measure or
measures.
1t would appear that a partisan
"ompasse" as to the revenue bill has
already been reached in the disagree
ment as to prescribing a limit of tax
alton for the fiscal year beginning
July /, 1920.
Democrats insist that the present
bill shall not only provide for the es-
timated 100000 revenues of
the fiscal year to begin July next, but
shall reassure the business public
with reduction of the revenues to a
total of 100000 200 in the year
after that
Republicans assert with much en-
phasis that they will not stand for
the principle of having this congress
prescribe limit to the business of
the next They argue that it is i'm
possible to say with any assurance
how much revenue will be required
in the fiscal year ending June 80,
1921.
Postal Zone Controversy.
On that division the bill could fail
to reach a vote if both sides stood
firm, but there are well-informed
men in congress who expect the split
to materialize on something very diff
ferent and less abstract. The little
cloud they can see developing into
the big storm to wreck the revenue
bill is the postal zone amendment.
The senate committee on finance
has voted to include in the pending
revenue measure a modification of
the postal zone system which makes
the second-class privilege more costly
in accordance with the distance. The
periodicals are fighting for a relaxa-
ton of the system. They "hone" for
the days when they could send the
weekly or monthly as cheaply from
New York to San Francisco as from
New York to Philadelphia.
1t is quite likely that the senate
will sustain its committee in trying
to come to the relief of the periodi-
Gals which complain about the rigors
Of the present zone system. It is
Just about as likely that the house
ways and means committee will stand
for the retention of the existing sys-
TEN without present modification,
and that the house will sustain its
own committee in this attitude. Then
the matter will go to conference, and
the deadlock it produces may easily
be harder to break than a deadlock

GERMANS DEFEATED
UPON SIX FRONTS
ENEMY LINE cRUM6LES UNDER
THE ALLIED DRIVE FROM
BELGIUM TO VERDUN.
Advance of Troops Under King Albert.
and Marshal Haig Jeopardizes Ger
manys Submarine Bases on
the North Sea.

Paris.-1he entente allied forces
from Belgium to Verdun, on six bat
tIefronts, are registering victory after
victory over the Teut0nic armies. and
the enemy front almost everywhere is
crumbling, Notwithstanding the des-
perate resistance that is being offered
on various sectors.
On all of the sectors under attack,
from Belgium to Flanders to the re-
gion of Verdun, the German front is
| gradually bending back under the viO-
lence of the attacks of the British,
Americans, French and Belgians. In
Belgium the advance of the troops OF
King Albert and of Field Marshal Haig
has pierced so deeply eastward that
| Germanys submarine bases on the
North sea are in jeopardy of being cut
off.
The famous Messines- Wytschaete
ridge has been captured and the allied
guns dominate the plains beyond. Both
Menin and Roulers, important railroad
junction points for the supply of the
German armies north and south, are
virtually in the hands of the British
and Belgians, and seemingly soon must
fall.
From Cambria to st. Quentin the
British and Americans again have de-
livered successfully hard smashes
against the German strong points all
along the front, including the remain
ing portions of the old EIindenburg
line. The Germans here are offering
most strenuous resistance and in
counter-attacks compelled the British
on one or two sectors to withdraw for
slight distances.
The British are in the process OF
cleaning up the town of Cambria, hav-
ing penetrated its suburbs from the
northwest and southwest. In the re-
giOn of st. Quentin. where the Amer
leans are fighting with the British, the
old Hindenburg line has been cut and
penetrated to a depth of three miles,
over front of eight miles
In conjunction with the operations
of the French northeast of scissors,
the Germans have begun the evacua-
ton of the observation-disclosures and the
French now hold half of this famous
defensive position. Likewise there Is
an indication that the enemy intends
to give up the remaining positions held
by him along the Vesle to Rheims.
In Champagne, the French troops
west of the Argonne forest everywhere
are pressing forward, and likewise to
the east of this position the Ameri-
cans are moving northward in unison.
Already the big forest is virtually out

made part of the Franco-American

London.-Germany If reports from
IA neutral center can be relied upon, is
going 10 make great effort TO main
tain communication over the Orient
railway with Turkey, and thus hopes
to keep her eastern ally in the war.
Turkey, cut off from Germany, has
not the manpower to protect the two
gaps through which the allies are
threatening the Ottoman empire, at
the heart and south of the Taurus
mountains
The peace demonstrations at Con-
stantinople, led by Talaat Pasha and
backed by tremendous force of pub
lie opinion, are forcing the issue.
Only the Turkish first and second
armies are available for the defense of
Constantinople.
According to a Hague dispatch to
the Central News, 100000 German and
Austro- Hungarian troops have arrived
at Sofia from Rumania and while part
of these will remain in Sofia as an ar
gument favoring the overthrow of the
Malinoff government, the majority
will endeavor to keep the allied troops
from the Orient railway which joins
Germany and Austria with CONSTANT
nople, the capture of which was few
years ago hailed as the greatest
achievement of the central powers.
The removal of troops from Ru
mania, however, is not without danger.
A few weeks ago, when appealed TO
by his colleagues on the western front
for assistance, Field Marshal Won
reported that conditions in
did not warrant the transfer
Of single soldier to that country.
