HAIG FIGHTING ANOTHER
WATERLOO; AWAITS BLUCHER

London, April 1S.-Regarding the
war situation from a broad point of
view, there is no reason to despair,
Major General i. b. Maurice, chief
director of military operations at the
British War Office, said Yesterday.
After describing the events of the
last twenty-four hours, he continued:
What of the whole battle situa-
ton? Our army has been going
through a very severe strain, and
that strain has been reflected at
home. The situation has had it's
critical moments and still is decided
ly anxious. But remember we have
accepted the principle of united
front and must accept the conse-
Quences of that principle. SWe must
look at the whole battle not from
our army's sacrifices and sufferings,
but from the standpoint of the whole
Entente.
THE British army is playing the
role which it often has played before.
1t is fighting Waterloo while
Blucher is marching TO the battle-
field. Multiply the Battle of Water
loo hundredfold and the situation
at noon in that battle corresponds to
the situation now in the great world
battle.
No Reason to Despair
THE British army is under a ter
rible hammering, but, providing we
stand that hammering without
breaking and providing Blucher is

Refining Company and other build
ings and ground in that vicinity, as
well as the property of the Keystone
Industrial Corporation, embracing
all of the old State Fair site, which
of itself takes in more than 400 acres.
Work is already under way on these
tracts, the government having en-
tered into leases with the. owners
early in the year, dnd some thou
sands of workmen are employed
there. The purpose of making the
appraisals at this time is due to the
desire of the government to purchase
the land. This is confirmation of the
generally accepted report that the
government developments at this
place are not merely for the length
of the war but are designed to be
permanent.
There are reports that the local
board may be called upon to appraise
properties extending back over the
old Camp Meade site, just east of the
present development, and at least
one farm to the north, but these
have not been confirmed, although 1t
is known that the government en-
gineers have been looking over this
land.
The Real Estate Board was select
ed for the appraisals because the

VETERAN SPEAKS
AT Big MEETING
Canadian Highlander, Who
Was Wounded in France,
Talks to Enola People

Enola, Pa, April 49, Scores of
persons crowded the big auditorium
of the Summit street school building
last night to hear a lecture given by
Sergeant Major Dickson, of the Ca
madam Highlanders. In addition to
the talk given by the Canadian vet
eran, addresses were made by j. w.
Wetzel, of Carlisle. and william Lau-
bernstein, of the Harrisburg recruit
ing Office. Musical numbers were
furnished by school children.
In relating his experiences, Ser
geant-Major Dickson told how he
and his twin brother caught the war
fever while in Honolulu at the out
break of the conflict. They imme-
diately left for Canada, where they
enlisted with the Highlanders. After
intensive training near Quebec they
started for England. This was in
the first contingent of the Canadian
forces. The transports were con-
voyed by all manner of naval ves-
sells. While the training in Canada
was severe it was harder yet in Eng
land. After II short time they took
their place on the line, fighting in
mud for weeks. In his first engage
ment he was slightly wounded. He
returned to his company and took
part in the second battle of Ypres.
In this battle his brother was killed
and he received his wounds which
took him out of the war.

Wrinkles Erased In Ten
Minutes-A New Marvel

The beautifying sensation of the
day is the "tarkroot treatment" No
discovery in the field of beauty Gull
ture has ever before met with such
enthusiastic, such instantaneous, ap-
proval. Nothing will so surely and
quickly iron out the age-lines and
wrinkles, the sagging and folds, and
give the face such a naturally youth
full appearance. One need merely mix
a teaspoonful of powdered tarkroot
with a teaspoonful of plain water.
smooth this soothing emulsion over
the face. then go to the mirror and
watch the wrinkles and fiabbiness
vanish like magic! One can scarcely
believe her own eyes. Even very aged
faces are wonderfully rejuvenated.
Tarkroot Is so harmless it could be
eaten with impunity. 1t will improve
any complexion. 1t is to be washed
off entirely in a half hour or so, and
therefore is not to be confused with
any cosmetic or makeup. Any drug

marching to the battlefield, there is
no reason for encouragement.
Ihe enormous task which the
British army has performed and still
Is performing may be shown by a
rev figures. In this battle of Ar
menueres the Germans thus far have
engaged twenty eight divisions. and
since March 21 they have engaged
126 divisions.
"Of these the British army alone
has engaged seventy-nine, the French
alone have engaged twenty-four and
the remaining twenty-three have
been engaged by the British and
French together. s..
"Of the German divisions which
the British engaged, twenty-eight
have been fought twice and one
thrice. OF the German divisions
which the French and British en-
gagged together, fifteen have been
fought twice and one thrice.
1T is unpleasant business stand
ing and hammering, but so long as
we can stand it the only question to
be asked is: What is happening to
Blucher? What has become of the
reserves?
Although the French army is
larger than ours, we have taken the
strain of these battles off them.
There is no reason to be in a state
of despair If the situation is regard
ed from a broad point of view and
if we regard our great sacrifices as
necessary part of the great drama"

Regrets Sentimental

Regrets Sentimental
Although the retirement east of
Ypres was to be expected for stra-
tegical reasons, the fact that it has
been carried out has caused senti-
mental regrets. Langemarck. Pass
chendaele and Poelcapelle, which
Berlin reports the Germans have
occupied, were scenes of desperate
encounters liz the hard-won British
advance of last summer and fall,
when they gained the Messines- Pass
chendaele Ridge.
Correspondents report, the British
are retiring to prepared positions
along or close to the line from which
the offensive was launched in 1917.
This would place the new line prob
ably near Boesinghe, Wieltje. Hooge
and Hill 60, southeast of Zillebeke,
and about two miles east of Ypres.
Berlin's official communication at
tempts to make it appear that the
Germans gained towns on the old
Flanders battlefield after fighting
The British retirement was carried
out Monday and British guns reaped
q heavy harvest in the enemy ranks
when the Germans penetrated the
abandoned positions.
Use Large Quotas
Wednesday the Germans gained
no new ground from east of Mer-
Vile to Wytschaete, but were COM
PEELED to use large forces in recap
turing Wytschaete and Meteren.
How large the French forces are
that have come to help the British
has not been disclosed. Field Mar
shall Haig said last week that heavy
French reinforcements were moving
toward the battlefield.
On the remainder of the British
front and on the Picardy battlefront
and French sectors there has been
no infantry activity. Belgian troops
north of Ypres have repulsed Ger
man attacks and captured six hum
dred prisoners in ejecting the enemy
from trenches he had occupied.
Penetrate Third Line
On the Lorraine sector American
troops have penetrated to the third
German line and are in unmolested
possession of No Mans Land.
NIscount Miner has been appoint
ed British secretary for war, a Paris
newspaper says, and had a long con-
ference wednesday night with Pre-
hler Clemenceau in Paris. The re-
port lacks official confirmation. Lord
Miner who has been q member of
the British war cabinet, succeeds the
Earl of Derby, who goes to Paris to
take the place of the retiring ambas-
sador, Lord Bertie, according to the
report.
British merchant losses due to
German submarine warfare show an
increase for the past week. The
total of ships lost rose from six to
fifteen, while the increase in vessels
of more than 1000 tons was from
four to eleven. French and Italian
losses show little change.

an unwavering champion of teaching

dictedN that the study of the Teuton
tongue eventually would be elini-
mated from the schools of the ma
ton.
Several hours after Doctor Gar
Der so declared himself, Charles
Brum Helms, state secretary of the
Pennsylvania Camp. Patriotic Order
Sons of America, gave out a state
ment by Gabriel II. Meyer, Deputy
Auditor General of Pennsylvania
and state president of the order. in
which was this sentiment: II say
knock it out for all time. We can't
stand for that sort of kultur.' If
CARRIER and Simon GratZ are in the
way and can't see the light, we have
$4,000 loyal Sons of America in the
city of Philadelphia who will show
the way"
Mr.. Meyer said:
There will be no letup in Penn
sylvania as far as our order is con-
cerned. We propose to push the
fighting line up to the men who
make the laws and to the Governor
of this state to strike the teaching
of German out of the public schools.
In the light of what has transpired
and what is transpiring daily in the
Old World no decent and right
thinking person having any regard
for the Deity will want to hold COM
munion or fellowship now or here
after with any Prussian. The out
RACES committed and atrocities prac-
ticed are too heinous to be publish
ed in the newspapers; no regard is
had for the sanctity of the marriage
relation, plural marriages are sane
toned. good morals are beaten down
and human beings are brought to
the level of the beasts of the field.
If this kind of doctrine is permitted
to be taught and practiced, what
shall we say of future generations?
I say, knock it out for all time. We
can't stand for that sort of 'kultur.
