Americans Hold Eight-mile Front

French lines"
Americans Hold Elght-mile Front
Washington, March 7.-American
troops are now holding something
over eight miles of trenches on the
battlefront in France, it was learned
yesterday. although in an airline
their frontage is only about four
and half miles. This frontage is
liable to extension at any time to
the regular trench allotment for an
army corps.
Irregularity of the trench lines Is
responsible for their being eight
miles in length. They are laid out
SO that thanking fire may be obtained
along every part of the front. Strong
points containing machine guns jut
out for this purpose. The trenches
also follow closely any protective
slope of the country and wander UP
and down hill.
The American sector is understood
to be a divisional frontage, which
means that at least three divisions
of American troops (27000 to a divi-
sion or $1,000 in alb are there to
, give the encessary support in depth
for the front lines.
LIgEett May BE Corps Commander
This has aroused speculation here
as to who will be selected by Gen.
cral Pershing to command the first
corps of his army. Major-General
Hunter Liggctt is known to have
acted in this capacity, but as yet
the eXpeditiona-y commander has not
made any recommendation.
1t is possible that the French sys-
tenn will be followed in the Ameri-
can Army so far as the appointment
of corps commanders goes. 1t is the
custom in France to select any one
of the division commanders in a
corps and to place him at the head
of the corps. He retains his rank
as division commander, however, and
in case of the American Army that
would be a major-general. If the
French practice is adopted, therefore,
the grade of lieutenant-general may
be employed only for field command
ers.
Headquarters American Troops in
France. March 6.-American troops
on still another place on the French
front have been raided by Germans
who were repulsed with losses.
This is the first time permission is
given to mention this engagement
Tho American forces entered the bat
tleline in a certain place in Lor-
raine. The French commander Goa
graduated the Americans on their
behavior
1.-The foregoing is confirmation OF
the French official statement OF
March 5, which said that a German
attack on trenches held by Amer
lean forces in Lorraine on the night
OF March was repulsed.1

|Old French
Beauty Secret

Mile. De Lores, the famous
French actress, who recently ar
5 rived in this country and who is
now in her 65th year, has aston
ished everyone who has seen her,
! by her exquisite complexion and
clear, smooth skin which is not
! marred by single line or wrinkle.
When asked to explain how she
had retained her marvellous girlish
beauty. she replied that she had
! always practiced one of the oldest
of French beauty secrets: secret
which for years was jealously
guarded by the court ladies of Ma
poleon the First. 1t consists of
laying a warm cloth on the face
each night before retiring for
about one minute and then when
the cloth is removed, a generous
amount of ordinary am-o-nized
cocoa cream should be applied over
the entire face sand neck, massage
it gently into the skin with the
finger tips for about two minutes,
then wipe off the surplus with a
S soft, dry cloth. Mile. De Lores
who has wrinkles and large pores
or habby, loose skin, can easily
and quickly overcome these de-
stroyers of beauty by the use of
this simple yet delightful and ma
tural Beautifier, which is inexpen-
sive and can be found at almost
any good druggists.
The above, coming as it does
from such connoisseur of beauty,
I should appeal strongly to every
lady who appreciates what a fair
I face means to the gentler sex.

jacks, and trumps.
Then the war came!
Brothers, husbands, sons, sweethearts
left home to be aces of the air, jacks of the
navy or trumps of the American Army.
The afternoon meetings continued
but the scenes changed to Red Cross
workrooms. And serious, busy fingers of
hundreds of thousands of patriotic Amer

to alleviate the suffering of their loved
ones, and yours, too, who responded so
calamity to the country's needs.

SUNDAY COAL RECEIPTS
SUFFICIENT FOR NEEDS
Moderation in Weather Has Been
Big Help, Also, in Lessening
Demand.

Receipts of both hard and soft coal
over Sunday were sufficient to remove
any cause for immediate anxiety, ac-
cording to John L. Weaver, fuel admin
istrator for the District. Moderation in
the weather has been big help, both in
the way of lessening demand and in ex-
pediting deliveries.
Some difficulty was experienced yes
terday in getting men to unload cars
but a larger force was at work this
morning. and coal was moving rapidly
to the depleted bins of Washington
householders.
Under the plan of coordination being
worked out by the dealers executive
committee in cooperation with Mr.
Weaver. applications for relief at the
fuel administrators emergency office a,
18th and F streets are steadily dimin-
ishing in number. and it is possible the
office will be closed this week.
New plans contemplate that all orders
shall be handled by dealers, and If one
dealer cannot care for applications made
to him he Is to have the assistance OF
others Both the dealers and Mr.
Weaver are satisfied that when the
plan is fully in operation there will be
no need for an emergency office.

800 Members Of Home Defense
League Answer Call,

Answering call No. 1 from the Office
of the superintendent of police, more
than 800 members of the Home De-
fense League of the District of Co
lumbia yesterday reported at their
various precinct stations for drill The
showing made by members of the
league was pleasing to Maj. Pullman.
who said today that in cases of real
emergency more than the number who
turned out yesterday could be counted
upon as an adjunct to the police force
Of the District.
Armed with their hickory walking
sticks, many members of the league
have already familiarized themselves
with the beats" of the patrolmen in
their precincts, and have accompanied
the policemen on their rounds.
More than eighty members of the
Volunteer Guard division of tie Home
Defense League, made UP of colored
men, turned out at headquarters at
the District building.
All the companies were inspected by
Mai. Pullman, Director William P. Emo
and Deputy Directors William John

SOME APPREHENSION OF
ICE RUSH IN SUDDEN THAW
Rivermen Report That Freeze Is
Heaviest in 25 Years--Wharves
and Piers Are Crushed.

With ice from foot TO eighteen
inches thick covering the Potomac
river from Harpers Ferry to points be-
low Indian Head, rivermen and seri-
dents of villages along the river are
gravely apprehensive as to the prob
able results should sudden thaw take
the ice out with rush.
Already, according to reports from
down the river, the two wharves at CO.
lonial Beach have been destroyed by
the weight of the heavy ice crushing
against them, and reports from other
points indicate the destruction or Sc
rious damage of other landing places.
Rivermen say the ice now Is heavier
than it has been in any winter in the
last twenty-five years. In many places
the river is covered solidly from shore
to shore with ice anywhere from a foot
to a foot and half thick. Points be-
low Alexandria report ice fourteen to
fifteen inches thick: while above the
city the ice is much thicker, two-foot
ice being reported from several places
above Great Falls.
Serious damage to bridges and yes
seis, as we'll as wharves. is predicted
by rivermen if the ice, loosened by
sudden thaw or rain, breaks up and
comes down the river in masses. Ac-
cording to these men there is also some
danger Of inundation of the lower
parts of this city should heavy ice
jams form at the bridges connecting
the eastern and western banks of the
Potomac. The ever-present danger OF
collapse of the Aqueduct bridge--it is
stated, would be greatly increased by
formation of an ice jam and the conse-
quent damming of the river In the
relatively narrow channel above the
bridge at Georgetown, or between the
Three Sisters and the Aqueduct bridge.

NO BANQUET THIS YEAR

Life Membership in Red Cross and
Contribution of 800 to Be Sub
stituted by Organization.

A life membership in the Red Cross
costing s25 in the name of the knights
Of Momus, and an additional donation Of
500 to that organization are to

ers' banquet" this year, according to
action taken by the knights at meet
ing in Typographical Temple yesterday.
Because of war conditions and the ur-
gent need of funds for carrying on the
work of the Red Cross the organization
decided to abandon the annual ban
quet and devote the funds to war uses.
The annual banquets of the Knights
Of Momus have been held in February
for the last twenty years. being attend
ed usually by business and professional
men of the city and senators and repre-
sentatives in Congress. Joe NJ. Johnson

ton, the other officers being E. F. Smith,
vice president; Frank II. Long, record
ing secretary; John A. Huston, finan-
cial secretary; NJ. A. Bodenhamer, treas
urer, and r. A. Julian, sergeant-at-
arms. The annual election of officers is

ICE SIXTEEN INCHES THICK.
Heaviest Harvest on Potomac and
Nearby Streams in Fifty Years.

Return of freezing temperatures has
again solidified the ice that was moving
in the channel and today the river from
this city to its mouth and on down the
bay to the sea is covered with thick
sheet of ice Beyond the Norfolk line
steamers and the naval tugs nothing
has made an effort to move on the river
and 1t looks like it will be well into the
spring before the river and its tribu-
tary creeks are free of ice and open to
navigation.
Residents along the shores of Nomini,
Upper Machodoc, Quantico, Occoquan
and other creeks in Virginia and Mary
land have been able to harvest ice from
10 to 16 inches in thickness. something
that has not been done since the war
between the states. A naval ship and
tug were necessary to aid the feet
of merchant vessels imprisoned in the
ice at Baltimore. Saturday a fleet OF
thirteen loaded steamships followed the
naval vessel down the bay. The schoon-
ers w. H. Michael and VIM. Schmink
are reported in danger of being crushed
in thAsice in 4objack bay Va.
