Between the Ailette and the Aisne the French also are gaining ground. They have crossed the Aisne at sev- eral points northeast of Soissons and have taken the town of Missy sur Aisne on the northern bank, where they already were In possession of Buoy le Long. Farther north on this front they have taken the towns of Brave and Clameey.
 The Franco-American operation on the Vesle front has been extended farther eastward toward Rheims, and new crossings have been effected on the ? 1A mile front between Ventzaux and Ionchery, seven miles west of Rheims.

 The Germans still are clinging to the Messines ridge, the highest ground of this sector, but from the manner in which they are forced back farther south 1t seems doubtful whether they will be able to hold 1t much longer.
 On the Douai- -Cambrat front and immediately to the south the enemy gives signs of stiffening resistance, but nevertheless the British have moved farther ahead at various points. Their most notable gain was southeast of Bertincourt, where they took addi- tional ground east of the Canal du Nord and captured Neuville Bour- jonval.
 The Germans made an effort to dis lodge Field Marshal Haig's forces from their position along the canal,

WILSON HOPES
TO FURL0UCH
SKILLED FARMERS
Such is His Statement in Re-
plying to Request From
Kansas Governor

Topeka. Kan. Feb. lit is the
nope and expectation Of the admins
tration that farmers essential to the
continued and undiminished opera
ton of farms" may be given de-
ferred classification in the draft and
that furloughs may be granted at
planting and harvest to thos,
already III service, according to I let
ter received by Governor CaPper 80
day from President Wilson. TIE
governor nae written the president
urging the ~furloughing Of skilled
farmers at harvest time and steps t.
prevent the drafting of farm laborers
in view Of the serious farm labor
shortage in Kansas.
Wilson'S Reply.
President Wilson wrote in reply:
Under the new %selective service
regulations under which the present
classification of r~egistrants is now
progressing. in very specific terms in
those regulations it is provided that
skilled farm laborers essential to tie
ton of farms shall be deferred IN
Glass II. it is our present hope and
beliof that we shall be able to raise all
the forces in immediate prospect
without invading any deferred class
and therefore, we can assume. I
think, hat future drafts will not in
terfere with your supply of skilled
farm labor.
Believes it Good Plan.
81 also had very prominently in
mind the advisability of f%urloush:ng
sc .ected men during plantiE! and
harvesting time and to this e1d tile
war department has asked OF con-
gress authority to grant such fur
loughs without pay, whenever, in the
opinion of the secretary of war the
military situation ustifes such a step.
OF cours it is impossible to say in
advance what the changing conditions
Of warfare nay impose upon us, but
I a assure o that, if this antno,-
ity is granted by congress. we shall
permit these furloughs whenever it Is
possible to do so.
II take it that what I have aid is
preci. ely responsive to what you have
IN mind. and j hope and believe that
the various selection boards composed
Of men of YOU choice will exercise
tie authority to defer skilled farm
labor In such a way as to meet the
situation you PRESENT in the fullest
Way it could be n ct under our pres
ent circumstances"

French Front, Jan. S.-(Corre-
spondence Associated Press)-The
Zeppelin DOGGY has beer laid or, at
least, the major part of its terrors
have vanished. since reliable informa-
ton shows the reported existence in
Germany of great armadas OF these
aerial dreadnoughts to have been
absolutely mythical. Altogether only
just one hundred of these dirigibles
Count Zeppelin launched the first n
over Lake Constance.
Up to August, 1914. the total Of
those built had numbered twenty-five;
since hostilities began the VIC great
works at Friedrichshafen and Stalker
have constructed between seventy-five
and eighty, probably nearer the lower
than the higher figure. This means
an average of two per month. As the
mean period for the building of a
Zeppelin is known with certainty to
be w months, there must always
have been -four new airships on the
stocks at the same time.
Most of the Zeppelins launched into
the air before the war came to grief.
thus leaving in the service of the
German army and navy "A fleet of less
than a dozen when fighting began.
Since then nearly all the dirigibles
old and new ave been handed over
to the German navy, which has used
them for many kinds of work such as
bombarding expeditions, protection of
mine-layers and small torpedo-boats
at sea, chasing submarines, searching
for mine-felds. and. last and most i'm

great air navies which the allies are
building with feverish speed. With
these industries crippled the whole
iron machine Of war, built by linden
burg, will be thrown out Of gear.
The air navies-from swift fighting
planes to gigantic bombing machines
with a wing spread Of 100 feet-will
be ready to begin action by the time
atmospheric conditions permit sys-
tematic operations.
Germany's iron country" in Lor-
raine and Westphalia, will be- the
principal target of the allied air raids.
Look at the map-Germany's prin-
cipal ore fields, the rich Lorraine
beds, lie wholly within a 5O-mile air
line from the allied aviation center at
Nancy-less than 40 minutes flight
wen for the slowest machines.
These iron mines cannot be de-
stroyed, Of course. but by systematic

building for. their operations can be
