papers arriving at the French front
via Switzerland, together with Ger
man radios picked up by the French
wireless, shows the German imperial
command is conducting press cam
paign for the benefit of the German
people preparatory to resuming the
offensive.
1t is analogous to the present cam
paign which preceded the assault
March 21.
In the present campaign the Ger
man people are assured that when the
offensive is resumed it will continue
without stopping until the war is end
ed.
This, coupled with numerous other
indications along the allied front and
information from prisoners, indicates
the Germans plan a repetition OF the
original offensive, hoping to separate
the main French and British armies
by another OF Won Hutiers massed
attacks, such as was SO succeSsful ~
Riga on the eastern front.
This probably will be directed
against a supposed weak point IN the
allied lines.
Detailed preparations necessary TO
launch such an attack explain tue

AUSTRIA AGREES

GERMANY WITHOUT SUPPORT
Terms Make Is impossible For Aus
tria To Resume War-Cermany
Preparing For An Attack and
Is Fortifying at Home.

Washington.--Offic announcement
that the Austrian armistice had been
signed reached the State Department.
In making this known officials gave
no indication of the terms imposed,
nor was there any explanation Of
why cessation of hostilities had been
delayed "a hours or more after the
actual signing of the articles of sur
render The generally accepted view,
however, seemed to be that it was
desired to have virtually all Italian
soil freed of enemy troops before the
Italian armies were committed to end
their attacks upon the routed AUSTRIAN
forces.
Military men here said the terms
which the Supreme War Council had
prepared would make it impossible for
the Austrians to renew hostilities,
probably including the disarming of
the enemy troops and occupation of
strategic points as well. Some Of
these, namely, Trent and Trieste. al
ready have been occupied by Italian
and allied forces.
Free movement of the allied forces
through Austria to attack Germany
from the south should the supreme
war command decide such stroke
necessary in the future also is expect
ed to be stipulated. Unoficial reports
from Vienna said the Germans were
preparing for such an attack by fever
ishly digging trenches on and fortify-
ing the Rumanian frontier.
The DETECTION of Austria leaves Ger
many stripped of its ally and most OF
the military men here. both allied and
American, believe that her capitula-
ton will follow soon after the terms
from Versailles are submitted.

old SPANISH TRAIL
TO Be USED AGAIN
SURFACED ROAD IN A FEW
MONTHS FROM NEW ORLEANS
TO THE TEXAS LINE.
OPINION ROAD DEPARTMENT
surfacine Of Stretch Between Race
land and Houma Will Make Short
Route Serviceable in All Sorts
of Weather, Says Mr.. Buie.
New Orleans

If plans of the State Highway De-
partment can be carried out, Louisiana
will, within a few months, possess an
unbroken surfaced highway from New
Orleans to the Texas line with the
possible exception of the streteh
across the Sabine swamp, in Calcasieu
parish, and four miles in Jefferson
parish. Duncan Buie, highway engi-
neer, made this statement in dis
cussion of the present status or good
roads work in the state.
This road is the Old Spanish Trail.
It is a matter of common knowledge
what geographical position in the
state this line of road occupies, as al
SO for the greater part of the state
OF completion in which most of the
road stands. But, according to the
highway department head. there is e.
tendency on the part OF travellers to
use the circuitous route formerly con-
Meeting New Orleans with Morgan
City by. way of DonaldsonviIle, rather
than. to take advantage Of the better
thoreyghfare and shorter route that
has practically been completed by the
department with links OF parish built
roads..,>
Mr.. Buie refers to the route, which,
starting from Luling on the Mississip-
ri river'i ST. Charles parish, crosses
this prish, nd strikes fairly direct
lire in Bayou Lafourche, thence to
Thsbodaux, and on to Morgan City. A
phase of the general route. except for
a stretch of a few miles between
Raceland and Houma, which Mr..
Buie designates as most desirable for
travel to and from points in the south
ern parishes, does not contemplate
following Bayou Lafourche to Thibo-
daux. Mr.. Buie says. however, that A
part OF the, stretch from Raceland to
Houma Is green" road and though 1t
can be safely travelled In good wealth
er, at the present time, following three
weeks Of rather wet weather, 1t is not
entirely satisfactory. It is pointed
out, however, that the Chacahoula'
swamp on the circuitous Route is prac-
tically never passable for automo-
biles.
"Surfacing Of the stretch between
Raceland and Houma will make the
short route serviceable in all condi-
lions of weather" said Mr.. Buie.
Some parts of this stretch win prob
ably be surfaced within ninety days,
another portion maybe not SO soon.
We are dependent entirely upon gov
eminent priorities in the matter Of
building material and are handicapped
accordingly"

Texas Lady Thus Describes Con-

How Cardui Relieved Her.

West, Texas--Mrs. J. A. Hunter, of
this place, recently made the following
statement: 81 have known of Cardui
for years-when a girl, my mother
gave it to me to stop pains. and IL
certainly did me a great deal of good.
After marriage was in a rundown
state of health and nervous, not at all
like my usual self. so much so that
I had to go to bed. l began taking
Cardui. soon I was strong, able to
do my work, even my washing
/ have been well since. and I can
recommend Cardui and gladly do so.
Whenever I over-work and feel tired,
draggy, WORKOUT, I take a few doses
of Cardui. 1t strengthens me, gives
me an appetite, seems to strengthen
my back, and l soon feel like going
to work again.
I think all women should keep and
use Cardui. 1t is splendid"
If you are suffering from any of
the symptoms Mrs. Hunter mentions,
try Cardui, the woman's tonic.
In use for over 40 years, Cardui has
helped thousands of women.
Cardui is composed of mild, medic
inal, vegetable ingredients, acknowl-
edged by standard medical writers to
be of benefit in many female dis
orders.
