70. HE SEEKS NEW CAREER
to Advise Him What to
DO Next.

Denver.-Benjamin West, a rich
farmer, although three-score and ten,
doesn't want to retire from business,
but he does want to try some other
line and make success of 1t.
He gave a party at his home recent
ly In celebration of his SEVENTEEN
birthday, and his guests included one
prominent man from every recognized
business or profession in the city. His
future business career will be decided
by ballots they cast after they have
considered the matter.
"The men who attended my party"
said Mr.. West, "are shrewd and intel
lectual. They know how they sue
ceeded and will telA me. Then they
will decide what ! will do In the fu-
ture. The nation needs man power for
industries and for all lines Of business.
/ am hale and hearty and as strong as
a youngster Of thirty. i can do good
work, I am sure. II I failed to under
take this I would not be true to my
country or to myself"

INDIAN KNEW OF NO WAR
Lucky Escape for Two Germans Who
Visited Homo Of RedskIn In
Oklahoma.

Salem. O.--It was well for two Ger
mans who visited the home Of an In
dian In Oklahoma that the redskins
did not know that the United States
was at war with Germany. DR.. Wal
ter #. Rittman has just returned from
an inspection Of oil properties near
Tulsa and happened into an isolated
Indian home.
~The Indian could speak English"
Doctor Rittman said, "and the c0nver-
sation turned to the war, Of which our
host had not heard. He seemed In
terested, and after meditation remark
ed:
"'Too bad I didn't know 1t yester-
day. Two Germans In my house then.
Could have killed 'em just as good as
not" -

nouncement made in Petrograd
Thursday and forwarded by the cor
respondent of the Exchange Tele-
graph company.
Still Holding kiev.
London, March 9.-Kiev, the cap
ital of Ukraine. is still in the hands
of Russian revoluntary troops and
has not been occupied by the Ger
mans, according to a statement is
sued Wednesday by the Russian Of
ficial news agency in Petrograd.
The previous message saying Kiev
had been lost to the enemy the state
ment adds, was due to the receipts
of a wireless message which must
have originated from enemy sources.
The German war office in its Off
cial statement of March 3, said that
Ukranian and German troops had
captured Kiev. Since then, however,
there have been no claims of any ad-
vance beyond Kiev by the invaders.
Plan to Arm Populace.
Petrograd, March 9.-The wal
commisirat today published a plan
for arming the whole Russian people
at once. Opportunity for all desir-
ing to learn military science will be
afforded and general preparations
will be made for renewing the wal
in the future.
After the withdrawal from Narva
the Russians retreated to hamburg
which they fortified with the aid OF
reinforcements from Petrograd.
Railroad men at Narva report the
Germans halted operations, accord
ing to orders from Gen. Hoffman
Witnesses said the bombardment OF
Narva which began Sunday and was
renewed Monday caused numerous
explosions.

HUN DRIVE in
WEST IS A BLUFF
SUCH is THE BELIEF OF THE
ALLIES.
MAY STRIKE ELSEWHERE
THE tALLIEs ARE THOROUGHLY
PREPARED FOR BLOW ON
THE WEST FRONT.

Washington, ID. c., March 8
Opinion in entente circles gradually
ia shifting to the belief that Ger
many's much advertised big drive"
is mostly camouflage to cover up her
real intentions.
There is a growing belief that in
stead of attacking on the west front,
Germany will attack in Macedonia
and renew the drive against Italy,
remaining on the defensive in
France.
Conditions are thought to be more
propitious for a German drive against
Saloniki than at any other point.
Thousands 'of German, Austrian, Bull
garian ana turkish troops have been
released from the eastern front ana
are now available for that purpose.
To Consolidate Her Gains.
The Teuton aim now military men
believe is to clear up the situation in
her backyard, annexing thousands OF
square miles in territory and vast
populations and resources and then
hurl the combined forces of her own
and her vassals against the western
front.
Germany. it is argued, has much
TO lose and little to gain by an Of
fensive in the west this spring.
Germany has acquired, in addition
to vast industrial districts in western
Russia, the cession of Baton, in
Trans-Caucasia. Near Batum are
some of the richest manganese ore
deposits in the world. Already Ger
many controls the rich oil fields of
Russia, Rumania and Galicia and
she is now welding the links that
will render the grain stores of Uk-
raine hers for the future.
Allies Not Deceived.
The belief that Germany this year
would fight only holding cam
paign in the west has been frequently
expressed ip military and diplomatic
circles, but the governments of the
associated nations have been non
committal. Nevertheless, there Is
reason to suspect they have not been
deceived and are prepared for any
contingency.
The allies are saying nothing oi
possible aggressive action. IL is a
fact, just the same, that preparations
for an offensive have gone forward
on a great scale.
Prepared for Great Blow.
The allies, it has been reiterated
are superior in guns, men and mate
rials on the west front. 1t is con
ceivable, to those who understand
that the German massing of troops
and materials in the west is de-
fensive rather than an offensive
measure. Then, too, there have beer
well substantiated reports of Ger
many preparing new defensive lines
extending clear back to the Rhine
from the Swiss border far into Bel
gium.
