Troops Now Facing Anglo

Armies.
BY United Press.

With the French Armies in the
Field. Feb. 5.-The Germans to date
have concentrated between $50 and 100
divisions, 2,700,000 men on the western
front in preparation for their long ex.
pected spring offensive.
Since the allied drive last April the
maximum of the German concentration
on the west front consisted of only 155
divisions until the Russian armistice
permitted the increase to the present
strength. 1t is known that lis divisions
already are on the line while the re-
naming 65 or 70 are held in reserve
They are held presumably for rushing
into surprise offensives or for checking
the allies should the Germans leave
to them the initiative for spring drive.
The Germans Still have go divisions
on the Russian front, consisting Of
decimated units from which the best
soldiers have been transferred to the

HoMEsTEADERs TO BENEFIT
BY THE DECISION


Sioux Falls, S. d.. Feb 2.-Adolph
aooerz, president of the Farmers I1aui-
~ eSchange, at Eagle Butte, and also
president OF the Eagle Butte Farm Loan
association, as the result of Z, visit made
TO President Hogan, of the federal land
bank at Omaha, Neb., reports that an
important concession has been made
relative to loans on homesteads on
winch final proof has not been made.
Mr- fioberz states that he was assured
by PRESIDENT Hogan that in the future
homesteaders could secure from the
federal land bank loans sufficient to
cover the making of final proofs and
that upon receipt from the United
States district land office of receipt
showing that this amount had been
paid, the balance of the approved loan
would then be made by the federal land
bank on the land.
In the past the land bankS has re-
fused to make full payment on APP
proved loans until patents (titles) had
been secured, but as it generally takes
six months after the money is paid on
final proofs before patent is issued, a
hardship had been worked on the home
steaders. The concession made by the
federal land bank at Omaha will be of
material benefit to numerous home
steaders in western and northwestern
South Dakota this year, as all are pre-
pairing to put in every available acre to
crop ard run live stock on the balance
Of their lands.
