The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve IL. This de-
strcys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces Of plain, ord
nary liquid arvon; apply 1t at night
when retiring; use enough to moist
en- the scalp and rub 1t in gently with
tie finger tips.
BY morning, most IL not al Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications win complete
" dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace Of ii, no matter
how much dandrIff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging OF the scalp will stop in
stantly and your hair will be duffyb
luatrous, glossy, silky, and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. il is inexpensive and four
ounSes is all you win need. This
simple remedy has never been klown

HOW TO INTERPRET THE DIS,
PATCHES.

In these stirring times, a
knowledge Of how to read dispatches
and what credenee to place in them,
is essential.
All Of The Forums dispatches re-
gardinE the war, unless otherwise
credited, come from The Associated
Press, but all Of them do not origin
ate with The Associated Press.
For example, a report may say:
"A Reuters dispatch today says.
etc.. Reuters il one Of the big
continental news agencies cores
ponding to The Associated Press in
this country. Such a message as the
foregoing, simply means that The
Associated Press correspondent in
London or Paris has seen a Reuters
dispatch published in one OF the
foreign war extras, and has cabled
1t to America. All that The AS
ISOLATED Press is responsible for in
this event, is the accuracy OF the
copying and the transmission. The
accuracy OF the news itself Is up 10

St Paul, Mimi, March 2s.-Non-
partisan league representatives to-
day presented evidence to Governor
Burnuuist on which they want Sher-
iff O.. c. Lee, Of Jackson county re-
moved from once on charges OF non
feasance. Leo Blahasid testified he
heard James Manahan, attorney for
the league, ask County Attorney
Nicholas to bid on a parrot to be sold
for the Red Cross. Nicholas, he tes-
tined, apparently took affront, and
said something about Nonpartisans
being patriotic only when in the
clutches Of the law. Manahan re-
piled that North Dakota, where the
league has thousands Of members,
had ovsrsubscribed its Liberty Loan
allotment. BlahaslCi said en- applaud
ed the statement and a man struck
him In the face, and he was threat
ened with mob violence. Sheriff Lee
stood, by, he said. and made no at

The Editors Mail Bag

To The Editor Of The Forum:
The writer saw a moving picture
the other day at one Of our local pic
ture houses entitled When a Man
Sees Red, and after reading the
dAmnable red flag oTatorY Of Thomas
Mills at the Nonparty meeting at st,
Paul last week. the writer sees red
One Of the reporters said Mills was
the only fly in the ointment at this
meeting. IL I see and read rightly,
/ think there were several flies In the
ointment. OF course they resoluted
TO the limit and then some, about
standing back CD of our government
and they resoluted so strongly about
their loyalty that ] am reminded of
one OF Shakespeare'B characters,
Thou dost protest too much.
The writer has two sons over
yonder playing their part in this
great struggle for the mastery OF all
that is best for the world and thou
sands of other sons are doing the
same. and when in our solitary
moments, and even at our daily work,
we think. think OF those boys over
yonder what they are doing, why
they are doing IT, and then pick up
a paper giving the wild vaporinEs of
a Red Flag orator such as were
delivered at the meeting at st. Paul,
then we see red, and we want to see
some red run; fetch on your firing
squad.
We are making history today that
our children's children will rise up
and call us blessed and when the un-
biased his.-rian writes the history
OF this war as to who caused ii, the
Kaiser will stand out In bold relief as
not only the instiRator Of II, but the
most ruthless, unhuman crowned
head that ever welded power.
The writer had rather be known in
history as that hend John Wilkes
Booth, who took the life Of the
Immortal Lincoln. We would rather
be known in history as that dis
gruntled German ONCE seeker Charles
J.. Git0au, who took the life of that
splendid statesman and president,
James A. GARFIELD. We would rather be
known in history as that man with
an unspeakable name who took the
life Of that princely, kindly man,
President Mckinley. We would
rather be known in history as that
man who touched .the mechanism
that sent the death dealing device Of
a torpedo against the Lusitania and
sent LOO souls 10 the bottom OF the
sea. We would rather be known as
all Of these rolled into one than to
be known as Emperor William Of
Germany.

The RESULTS Or THE BATTLE.

Last March the Germans volun-
farily retreated over the wide front
between Arras and the Aisne river,
the retreat in some places being to a
depth Of thirty miles. It was for the
purpose OF forestalling a British Of
fansive and to strengthen their lines.
They fell back to the famous Hinden-
burg line.

Perhaps that is not literally true,
for the purpose Of the Germans I'M
f0ubtedly is to break through COM
pistely, and force the Allies to open
arfare with the hope OF gaining a
6ecisive victory that will end the

new soldier can fAmifiarize himself
with the rife when he has a rifle in
hand, but he may otherwise school
himself in the squad or company move
ments which accompany or are predi-
Gated upon the use of the rifle, for he
can carry through the squad or com
pany movements with a broomstick.
For various reasons, depending upon
the immediate situation, it may be nee
essary for the squad to increase or di-
minish the interval at which the men
are deployed. For instance, the space
to be covered may be wider or mar
rover than the ten PAGES which the
normal interval would give for the
squad front, or, he fire of the enemy
may at this point be SO 'hot'' that, in
order to advance against it, the
chances of casualties must be reduced
by widening the space between the
men.
If the latter be the case, or if, as
previously stated, it is desirable to
cover wider front, instead of the
command GAS skirmishers, MARCH p
(when the men deploy at half-pace in
teryals), the command may be, GAS
sIirmishers, at two PAGES, MARCH p
This would mean that, instead of the
half-pace, or 10 inches, twice the full
pace, or 60 inches, would intervene be,
tween each two men. This would ex-
tend the squad front over distance Of
approximately 20 PAGES, or so feet, and
thus increasing the front of, or the ter
ritory covered by, the squad, reduce
materially the chance of each man be-
ing hit.
It is essential for the new soldier to
pay the closest heed to extended-order
drill, for it symbolizes real fighting.
He must be SO grounded in the details
of it that he viii execute them auto
matically when in action, for, once I'M
der fire, he viii have plenty of things
to think about besides how he is to
reach the designated point at the des-
ignated time. The use of his rifle will
require his full and active attention.

THE RUSH.

Consider the squad as one unit of
company on the skirmish line, de-
ployed for the "fire attack" If it is i'm
practicable for the company to adj
vance as a whole against the enemys
lines, it may advance in rushes. This
is done either by 'platoons or by squad.
The new line to be occupied is indi-
Gated by the platoon leader or the cap
tain of the company, who gives the
command 'By squad, from the right
Qeft) RUSH" This means that the
squad on the extreme right of the
company is to move, or rush, to the
new line first.
The men of the squad, who may be
lying flat on the ground, or in a kneel-
ing position, gather themselves in read
mess to spring forward. The corporal,
at the word "RUSHm cries "Follow
me!'' and, running at top speed, and
bent over to offer as small a target
as possible to the enemy, leads the
squad to the new line. Here the men
drop to the prone position at the cor
poraPs command or the signal for
halt" made by thrusting the arm up
vertically from the shoulder, and at
his command reopen fire. Unless the
platoon or company commander has
designated the distance to be covered
in the rush, the corporal of the squad
selects the new line.
After the first squad has taken up
the new line, the other squads fol-
low in succession, each starting the
rush when it's immediate predecessor
has gained the new line The various
positions that the soldier takes in the
skirniish line for firing, such as lying
prone or kneeling, will be explained in
another article. It should also be

NO MANS LAND

Across the waste of No Mans land,
Where the flames of battle CLEAN,
Where death with cruel, whitening
hand;
BIghts many a youthful dream.
Across the waste Of No Mans land,
Where flowers are choked with blood
By breezes, flames of Hate are famed,
There flows the crimson flood.
Across the waste of no-man's land
The lannon's ceaseless roar,
A trail of blood and battle brand,
Where roses bloomed before.
Across the waste of No-man's land,
Where wrecks of men are strown.
Fresh tents of clay in silence stand,
Where winds of death have blown.
Across the waste Of No-man's land,
Stern soldiers stand in line
Await the call of martial band,
To leap across the Rhine.
Across the waste Of No-man's land.
Our flags Of Freedom wave
Like stalwart oaks our heroes stand.
The human race to save.
