Sunday evening when a cable mes

Letters from Offutt to his mother,

Miss Virginia Offutt, sister of the
dead aviator, left Omaha Sunday only

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex-
pensive soaps or anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about tea
spoonful is all that is required. It
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy
to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt
and dandruff.-Adv.

HEAVY FIGHTING AS
BRITISH ADVANCE

perate resistance of the Germans, and
Roye, like Bapaume in the north, ap-
parently is in danger OF being pinched
out OF the line in an enveloping move
ment. More than 600 prisoners were
taken by the French in the operation.
Germans Strike Back.
The Germans have thrown further
heavy counter attacks against the
French in the region north of Sois-
sons, where the French continue their
pressure northward in maneuvers
which seriously threaten to outflank
the sChemin- Des-Dames and Laon
sectors and to put the entire German
jine from Ypres to Rheims in
jeopardy. All the attacks have been
sustained by General Mangin's forces
and the French even have pushed
back the Germans beyond the points
from which they started. The famous
Prussian guard has been thrown into
the battle to check the French, but,
as in their efforts against the French
and Americans in the Vesle sector.
they met with defeat.
Near Hindenburg Line.
The operations OF the British on the
northern part of the front from the
cast OF Arras to the region OF Bulle-
court have brought them upon, or
very near the old Hindenburg line.
There is still considerable activity
on the eastern part of the battle front
in the Nosges mountain region. where
forces of Americans recently have
been fighting. The operations, how
ever, continue of the nature OF raids
and small surprise attacks. Several
Of the later maneuvers have been put
down by the French.
There has been an increase in the
activity in the Albanian theater. Here
the Austrians twice attacked the
Franco-Italian troops, but were re-
pulsed. Later the French slightly
withdrew their line in order to main.
tain liaison with the Italians.

ALLIED WARFARE

CAUSES Big LOSS

Continued From rage One)
ern edge of the roundhouse also was
struck.
German planes appeared as the
Americans completed their mission
and followed the Americans back to
their lines, but failed to engage them
in battle.
British Activities.
London, Aug. 26.-Chemical fac
tories at Mannheim and the railway
station at Frankfort were successfully
attacked Sunday night by the British
independent air force, according to
an official communication issued to-
night
All the British machines returned
safely to their base.
The British independent air force,
operating on the west front lost seven
airp1anes in the bombing of Mann
helm last Thursday. The frank re-
port of this loss has caught the public
imagination here.
Heroic Fighting.
The outstanding feature OF the ex-
ploit was the heroic determination OF
the British squadrons. They were
heavily attacked as they flew to their
objective; they knew that equally
stern fighting would await them on
their way back, but nothing daunted
them. 1T takes more than the risk
of danger to halt Bitish airmen when
they have made up their minds to
reach an objective" says one news
paper.
1t is pointed out that the Germans
we're in largely superior numbers and
had only to think of fighting, where
as the British had both fighting and
bombing to attend to. The odds were
all on the German side. but the Brit
ish aviators reached Mannheim and
did their job. ~
Well Worth Risk.
Newspaper editorials point out that
the bombing was we'll worth the risk,
for Mannheim is the center of the
great chemical industry and the raid is
believed to have done damage which
will compel the Ger,nan armies for a
time at least to do without supplies Of
war chemicals from that quarter.
The British aviators did not suffer
without hitting back, the newspapers
also point out, for three German
fighting planes were beaten down.
Officially it is noted that the Ger
mans are now making most deter
mined efforts to protect their towns
by concentrating large numbers of
fighting machines and anti--aircraft
guns. Commenting on the raid. a
British air officer said today:
1--WE suffered losses, but we won a
splendid victory. We set out to bomb
Mannheim and no German efforts
could frustrate our intention"
