fe~Sion that the battle has been
lost and that they are getting

These consequences are bound

But before the chances of a

of Albert. Further north. Brit
ish patrols advanced on the three
mile front between Beaucourt
and Pnisieux. Only little further
progress IL required in this sector
before the, whole German center
between Albert and Arras must
go back toward Bapaume, with
the TANKS retiring automatically.
Albert seems destined to fall To-
the British before many more
days are passed, and ArIas would
promptly be disentangled. Once
they have gone back across the
Ancrc, the Germans cannot stop
before they reach the foreficld of
the Bapaumc- CombIcs-Peronnc
line.
Only entirely unexpected de-
veloprncnts can prevent a German
retreat on the fifty-mile front be-
tween Arras and Noyon.
The question which confronts
Won Boehm seems to be not

The alternative lines to which
he can fall back are:
1. The line which the Germans
held before the first battle of the
Somme In 1915.
,. The Hindenburg line. to
which the Germans fell back to
February, 1917. after converting
Picardy into desert.
The first line, called the old
Somme front, ran from the south
of Arras to the east of Albert.
thence southwark through MARI
court and Curlu, crossed the
SOmine Mt Frisco and ran by way
of Fontaine les Chappy, Damery
and Dancourt TO Noyon.
This line has been reached by
the allies nj four points ana has
been actually crossed at some
others. At Beaumont Hanel,
Damcry and Parviliers, and AR.
manconrt, tine British stand on
this old German line. and at
PuisicuN-au-Mont they have
passed beyond II.
The Hindcnburg line of 1917
ran from the cast Of Arras, where
Ii rested on the soath hank of
the Scarpc, through Cambria and

HEATLESS DAYS END
GARFIELD RESclNDs MONDAY
CLOSING ORDER.
Entire Decree Lifted by Administrator
With the Exception of Freight
Prioritles.

Washington, Feb. 14-Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield suspended the Mon
day closing order, but left the way
open to put it again into operation If
it appears that this would be neces-
sary.
State fuel administrators were given
permission to keep the order In force
in their states if it appears that 1t
should be done to relieve fuel short
ages, and also were authorized to put
into force any other restrictive meas
ures that special circumstances make
necessary.
Doctor Garfield said that the New
England states were the only ones that
had requested that the order be con-
tinued in force, and that ]. J. Storrow.
fuel administrator for New England,
probably would issue a special order
continuing Its operation in those states.
He described the New England fuel
situation as critical.
The part of the Monday closing or
der establishing priority list in coal
distribution will be continued generally
as viii the embargoes placed on rail-
roads by Director General McAdoo.
The operation of the priority arrange
ment and the embargoes, Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield said, promise to solve
the fuel problem unless there is a re-
turn of bad weather.
Doctor Garfield said he would tele-
phone to Mr.. Storrow instructions to
call the New England state admins
traitors together Immediately to de-
eide what action they desire to take.
He also lifted the ban on theaters
and other amusements required to
close down on Tuesdays.

WASH THE KIDNEYS!

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. BY some mys-
FERROUS process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good-workmen and become congested-
poisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbagO, rheu-
matism or govt. The urine is often
cloudy, full OF sediment channels often
get sore and sleep Is disturbed at night.
SO 1t is that DIR. Pierce, of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
n. 4, advises Washing the Kidneys
by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then If you want
to take a harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
ing symptoms, so to your druggist and
get Anuric double strength), for soc.
This "Anuric." which is so many times
more potent than lithia--will drive out
the uric acid poisons and battle the kid
neys and channels in q soothing LIQUID.
IL You desire, write for free medical
advice and send sample of water for
free examination. Experience has
taught Doctor Pierce that "Anuric" is
most powerful agent in dissolving
uric acid. as hot water melts sugar.
Send DIR. Pierce 10c for trial package.

Saving Every Penny.

Dear Uncle Jed: The summer is over and I am very glad that I have done my duty for my country during the vacation time. 1 planted a little garden of my own. l planted every inch of spare land.
 I had potatoes, sweet corn and string beans. I tried my best to sell my lit tie crop and for the money I bought thrift stamps.
 1 didn't spend my money because I have read in the Norwich Bulletin that every penny will help win the war by buying thrift stamps
 When America declared war with Germany my brother who was then 19 years old enlisted in the army. He is now in France fighting for the U. s. As rights. My best wish is to see him and all the rest of the boys home after winning this great worlds war
 When I read the war news I am glad to hear that the Tanks are get ting ahead of the Huns
 Now the Fourth Liberty loan drive is in action I'm reading that the United States government is urging the people to buy stamps and bonds to help win the war
 I saved during the summer fifteer thrift stamps. My whole time is taker up in school hours and in home work and the rest of the time I help my father on the farm, husking corn anG picking up potatoes.

POETRY,

The Finest coIors in the World. I'm not as old as some I see. But long ago f1knew The finest colors in the world
 Were red and white and blue. The red is in our rosy cheeks,
 And in our eyes the blues The white is in our hearts when they Are honest pure and true. s The deepest blue of all the sky,
 The red of sunset hours The white, from softest fieecy clouds, Meet in this flag of ours. And as its colors are of Heaven,
 We will believe that He Whose hand upholds the universe Will guard our colors three. Then fling it wide upon the breeze, With loyal hearts and true, Hurrah for great America,
 The red. the white. the hldei
 Selected.
