Hagerstown Mails Theory of
Engineering Work.

The Hagerstown Mail Of Saturday
had the following:
"The Martinsburg newspapers have
fgured it out that the engineers who
have been making railroad surveys
through this section for some months
oast, and who are now working in
Berkeley county are B. & O.. men, To-
eating line from Cumbo. on the G.
v. Railroad to Brunswick, which will
be continuation eastward OF the
low-grade freight line built from Cher
" Run some years ago. Our Mar
Snsburg friends may be right, but
heir conclusion is not regarded here
Is the correct solution of the puzzle,
Il is sill believed by those who have
watched the work that these surveys
IRE intended for line connecting the
Western Maryland system at or near
Williamsport with the Washington
md Old Dominion road at Leesburg.
The engineers are no more laxative
Martinsburg than they were in
shepherdstcwn and comments on
be proposition are only guesswork,
fter all One thing seems to be APP
aren't, howeyers-the new road is
fter the big limestone deposits in
Berkeley county, as well as new sec.
'ons that are to be opened up"

MISS THOMPSON IN
RECITAL AT DALLAS

Miss Anne Thompson has re-
turned from Dallas, Texas, where
she was presented Saturday night
in recital at Bush Temple recital
hall, by the Mickwitz Club. Miss
Thompson gave an unusually beau
tiful as we'll as pretentious program,
one group being devoted entirely to
the works of American composers.
In her last number, "Tarantella,
by List, the orchestral part on the
second piano was played by Harold
Won Mickwitz, whose pupil she was.
Miss Thompson had many lovely
courtesieS extended her while III
Dallas, She was presented numer-
Gus floral gifts, one being basket
of lovely blossoms from the Mick
WITT Club. She was also the guest
OF honor at an elegant little home
dinner given by Harold Won Mick
witt. The night of her recital Miss
Thompson wore a beautiful gown
of red white and blue tulle over
silver cloth. The club which pre-
sented Miss Thompson IS made up
exclusively of pupils OF Harold Won
Mickwitz, all of whom are teachers.
Mrs. Thompson was accom-
panied by her mother, Mrs. J. c.
Thompson, who returned with her.
Later in the season this gifted
young pianist will give a recital in
Denton and one in Tulsa, her plans
being still later to go to Chicago
and New York.

many men were willing to fight to
a finish. Only five non-commis-
stoned officers and privates stepped
forward. The others declared their
desire for an early peace by ar
rangement.'
German officers, on the other
hand, appear to have the conviction
that they will be able to break
through by means OF their secret
attacks.
General Won Hutier, who is re-
puted to have laid the plans for the
capture OF Riga, has come to the
western front to assist in the prep
aration. The lessons of the capture
of Riga have been preached reli-
giously to the German troops 1t
has been pointed out that therefore
a preliminary bombardment Of four
or five hours to cut the enemy wire
and demolish defenses was sufficient
to give the Germans a firm foot
ing in the Russian positions.
Find Determined Allied Front.
German troops have not been
told, however, that the morale OF
the Russians at Riga was very low
and that the German attack was a
complete surprise. The Germans
will find the allied morale at the
highest pitch on the western front,
and their attack will be far from
the surprise desired. The allies are
ready for a big blow and await with
assurance the next move of the Ger
man high command.
The German attack cannot be de
layed much longer. All informa-
tion points to the fact that both
German civilians and soldiers are
keyed up to such a pitch of nerv-
Gus expectancy that the strain can
not endure for long. They are
waiting for the attack with feverish
hope that the high command can
this time make good its promise.
The German troops are expected to
fight well.
Beginning of the End.
The coming battles will perhaps
be the most sanguinary of the war,
and they will be the most intense
yet seen. But they will mark the
beginning of the end, for if the Ger
mans do not break clear through the
allied linc-and they cannot-they
virtually will be finished. The en-
peror is putting every ounce Of
strength into this great gamble, and

Market Rep rts
GRAIN.


Chicago, Feb. l9.-Unfavorable
weather gave some degree of firm
ness today to the corn markeE EX-
cesSiye moisture and low tempera-
lures made a combination which
seemed likely to cause further dam
age to soft corn. Besides, receipts
did not have the volume that
would have been pleasing to the
bears.
Opening prices, which ranged
from the same as yesterdays finish
to is cent off, with March l.27
II and May l.26 3-8, were followed
by a slight upturn and then little
reaction.
Oats climbed to new high price
records for the season. The chief
reason was that at first the market
was almost bare OF offerings. After
opening d to }8M% cents up, with
May S41zMS4}4 cents, prices scored
a further gain.
Much larger receipts of hogs
than had been looked for weakened

WAR SUMMARY.

Germany has returned to the at
tack on the Russian front, and the
bolshevist government must face its
greatest teSt-the power OF German
militarism. Invading forces have
crossed the Dyina and Dvinsk and
are advancing eastward from Kov-
el, Nolhynia to aid the hard-pressed
Ukrainians, and protect the food
supplies in the new country. This is
the first military activity on these
fronts since late last November.
What opposition the bolsheyiki
can or will offer the Germans is
problematical Although the Rus
sian army has been much weakened
by the rehabilitation order and
strife in the ranks, the bolshevist
Red Guards have been successful
against the UkrainianS and other
opposing forces in southern Russia,
A week ago, delayed dispatches from
Petrograd say, the bolshevist lead
ers were doubtful if Germany
would attack, and apparently had
no intention to fight the invaders.
The food shortage in Great Rus
sia is becoming desperate. Trotzky
has been appointed food dictator
with absolute powers.
Ukraine Center of Tragedy.
The situation in the Ukraine is
serious, which may account for
Germany's decision to act, Boil
shcvist troops hold Kiev, the CAPT
tai, where 1000 persons were killed
and 1000 injured in several days
of heavy fighting; and bolsheyist
adherents are destroying railroads
and food supplies. In Odessa, also,
there has been lighting.
On the western front there have
been no extensive movements. In
Champagne, the Germans persist in
their attempts against French posi-
tions near the Butte du Mesnil.
Twice Tuesday the French, who
are aided by American artillery, re-
pulsed enemy efforts, the Germans
being unable to reach the French
lines.
Drop Sixteen German Planes.
Aerial activity is the predomi-
mating factor on the British and
American fronts. In the north,
British airmen have accounted for
sixteen German airplanes and have
dropped hundreds of bombs on rail
ways and airdromes. French and
British bombing squadrons also
have attacked important points in
Lorraine.
On the American sector, the en-
emy machines have been busy over
and behind the American lines.
American gunners kept the German
high in the air and one of the en-
cmy was brought down by an Amer
lean aviator. Nine Americans have
been wounded by German shells.
There has been considerable ar
tillery activity on the Italian front.
Third Daily Raid on London.
For the third time in as many
days, German airmen raided south
east England Monday night. None
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-02-19

of the raiders was able to penetrate
the defenSes of London.
Premier Lloyd George is expect
ed to appear in the house OF com
mons today to defend the govern
ment's action with respect to the
retirement of General Robertson as
chief of the imperial general staff,
which has aroused much criticism
in the British press,
DR.. Won Kuehlmann, the Ger
man foreign minister, it is reported,
will address the reichstag today on
