With the American Army in France.
After terrific artillery preparation
this morning large numbers of the en-
envy crossed no mans land on the ex-
IRENE right of the American sector
northwest of Toul. Apparently the
purpose of the raid was quickly ac-
complished and only a comparatively
small number entered our lines. Per-
mission has not been given to men,
ton the number of casualties.
This raid, like most of the others
carried out all the way from the sea
to Switzerland, was designed to gath
err information by means of taking
prisoners.
East of Luneville our patrols have
explored part of the German trench
which our artillery forced the enemy
to abandon. Patrols proceeded later
ally until they established contact
with the Germans. Our reconnais
sance and wire patrols found snipers
posts, listening posts and nests from
which machie guns had been firing or
our lines.

Indications are not wanting from
the increase in the activity on the
Austro-ltalian front that the Austro-
Germans from their northern line in
tend shortly another attempt to force
their way out of the plains and into
open warfare with the Italian, British
and French troops. Several contin-
gents, forming accommodating parties
have been put to flight by Italians in
the mountain region. The Italians
themselves have successfully en-
gineered small offensives in the re
gion of Monte Anzalone.

With the ratification of the treaty
of peace with Germany the Soviet
congress in Moscow has dissolved.
But the Germans have not yet ceased
their inroads into Russias richest
territory in the south. Nikolayev, the
great navy yard city northeast OF
Odessa, and headquarters of the high
command of the Russian Black sea
fleet is the latest prize that has been
wrested from he Russians.
Opposed Hard Terms.
Up to the last some of the chief
members of the soviet congress OPP
posed the hard terfs of the Germans,
but to no avail Warning was sound
ed by several of them of a further
German attack and of the necessity
for matchmaking for resistance. Be-
fore adjournment the congress ap-
proved the removal of the capital
from Petrograd to Moscow and late
dispatches say that Petrograd has
now been completely evacuated.
With the approach of spring each
day witnesses an increase in the
fighting activity. From the North
sea to the Swiss frontier no day
passes without numerous patrol en-
counters, which at tiles reach the in
tensity almost of battles. Artillery
duels are frequent and violent.
French Launch Attack.
Probably the most ambitious of al
the attempts to pierce an opposing
line has been made by the French
troops over a wide front in the Yer
dun sector. The attack was delivered
after preparatory artillery fire lasting
10 hours, according to the Berlin wa
office, but was checked. That thu
fighting was of a sanguinarv charaC
ter is indicated by the statement tina
the troops came into hand-to-hand ell
counters. 1t is claimed by Berlin tina

The artillery attended to all these
posts. The German positions have
been so uncomfortable at several
places that they now are trying to re-
gain a foothold by connecting shell
holes Our troops haev been subject
to an extraordinarily heavy artillery
fire for the last "a hours. More than
240 shells, which made craters 20 feet
deep and 80 feet in diameter, fell in
one section of the line. In another
section batteries have been shelled
heavily. More gas shells have fallen

Fear Concessions to Hun.

In view of the continued pressure
upon The Netherlands by Germany
in opposition to such step officials
were mystified at the sudden change
in the situation and began to specu-
late upon what arrangements Holland
might have made with Berlin.
1t was stated in official quarters
that Holland probably would make
liberal concessions to Germany when
she turns the ships over to the al
lies, but it was efared that the sud
den acquiescence with the long OPP
posed provision that the ships be sent
through the war zone might indicate
that. The Netherlands government
was proposing something new in con-
nection with the negotiations which
Great Britain and the United States
would be unable to accept.

Not to Delay Seizure.

The official attitude here is that
all arrangements have been made to
take over the ships and that the in
lection of any new proposals by Hol-
land can not stay the decisions reach
ed in London and Washington.
1t was stated that if Holland de-
sires to turn over the ships on the
terms already laid down, by volun-
tary agreement, it would be consid-
cred very agreeable, but that they
must be taken over at all events, on
the final terms submitted to The
Hague by the American and British
diplomatic representatives.

popping from two fleets Of British and
German airplanes which had been
fighting high YER the German lines,
when q German plane was seen diving
after a British plane. Il
''These two, detached from the
fight, came so low that they were tenn
porarily hidden by hills from the
sight Of the Australian gunners and
troops around them. Presently the
sound of approaching engines wal
heard, and low over the crest Of the
hills by the river came the British
plane, making directly towards a po-
sition where there . two Lewis

Combing Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruf

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in gen.
thy with the finger tips.
Do this tonight. and by morning,
most if not all. of your dandruff will
be gone and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dam
druff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once. and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Adv.

STOMACH SUFFERERS
Says Indigestion Comes from an Tx
cess of HydrOchlOric Acid

A well-known authority states tnal
stomach trouble and indigestion IS
nearly always due to acidity-ac1d
stomach--and not, as most folks be-
lieve. from a lack of digestive juices
He states that an excess of hydro
clloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion. and starts food fermentation,
then our meals sour like garbage in a
can, forming acrid fluids and gases.
which initiate the stomach like toy
balloon. We then get that heavy,
iumpy feeling in the chest, we eruc-
tete sour food, belch gas, or have
heartburn, flatulence, waterbrash, or
nausea.
He tells US to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast while it is eff
fervescing, and furthermore, to con-
tinue this for one week. While relief
fotfuw--tIre first dose it is important
to neutralize the aeidity, remove the
gas-making mass, start the liver,
stimulate the kidneys and thus pro-
mote a free flow of pure digestive
juices.

Juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate This harmless salts is
used by thousands of people for stom-
ach trouble with excellent results
