RUSS PAPERS TELL
HOW US. CAN HELP
Could Arrange Credit on Fav-
orabIe Terms to People,
They Explain.

CabIexram to The Evening Star and

Iayed).-Semi-officia1 newspapers, com
mentinE on several cables received by
the soviet government from America.

say that America could render more
substantial help, which would be great
ly appreciated. Having spent more
than $4,000. 100000 rubles (s25,ooo,ooo,-
o00) in an unfor rtunate war, Russia is
unable to buy the necessary goods with
cash. and especially to pay in gold.
America, they say, could meet the
needs of the Russian people by arrang-
ing a credit on favorable terms. With
sucn credit goods and supplies, Rus
sia's political and military organiza-
tions would soon become stronger, the
country would quickly revive, and be
enabled to acquire the wealth by which
it could fully pay America for the as
sistance rendered.
Soldiers Hostile to Soviets.
In a conference Of the local Petro-
grad soviets much was said about the
isolation of the soviets from the work
ing masses and the general discomfort
of the workmen with the soviets. It
was noted that many of the soldiers
organizations are hostile to the local
soviets. Their crisis lies not only in
their isolation, but also in their interior
disorganiza ton. The number of dele
gates is rapidly decreasing. and many
delegates do not report at all, appar-
emily having disappeared.
In Petrograd the red guards disobey
the local soviets. and they, in turn, ig-
more the central soviet's instructions.
The explanation is found in the general
disorganixation of all industries in
which the masses are chiefly employed.
Exchange Of Prisoners Arranged.
The soviet government and the Ger
man command have arranged for an ex-
change of war prisoners, and the first
party of $50 German invalids were sent
home yesterday by way of Pskov
Serious differences have arisen be-
tween Germany and the Ukraine. The
economic relations have caused friction
between members Of the rada and the
Germans. President Pelura was forced
to resign at Germany's request The
expectation of enormous quantities of
Ukraine sugar is meeting with strong
protest in the rada- Representatives Of
the Austrian-German and Ukrainian
governments in Kiev are discussing the
territorial frontiers Of the Ukraine and

A Never Failing Way
to Banish Ugly Hairs
(Aids to Beauty.)

No woman is immune to superfiu-
Gus growths, and because these are
likely to appear at any time, it is
advisable to always have some della
tone powder handy to use when the
occasion arises. A paste is made
with some of the powder and water
and spread upon the hairy surface
In about minutes this is carefully
removed and the skin washed. You
will then find that your skin is en-
tirely free from hair or fuzz. Be
sure, however, to get real delatone.

Not Entirely For Sport and Recrea-
tion-One of Principal Objects is 10
Prepare Girls for Summer Duties
in Canning and Other Lines of Club
Work. .a-f>e-f - :s
Work.
(By Lulu N. Cassidey, Emergency
Home Demonstration Agert)
It is hoped that the girls of the

Home Demonstration Agert.)
It is hoped that the girls of the
county who are planning to attend
the camp at Philadelphus May 10th
to the 25th, will not get the impress
sion that this is an occasion entirely
for sport and recreation. While we
propose to make it very happy and
memorable event in the lives of the
girls, ore of the principal objects OF
this assembly is to prepare them for
their summer duties in canning and
in other lines Of club work. In view
of the large number and the scat
tered locations of our canning clubs
in the county, and the urgent neces-
| sity for conserving and marketing
every available product this year, we
find it very necessary to take steps
| before the canning season opens to
facilitate the handling of the crop in
the most adequate way. The doml-
mating idea in planning the camp, is
that of training and organizing ef-
fectively for the summer food con-
servation drive, and at the same time
to help make work and life on the
farm more pleasing and satisfying te
the souls Of the young girls. TO this
end we are trying to give them some
} practical training for the work to
gether with recreational program II
such way as to arouse within thu
) girls a pride and appreciation Of th'
work which will tie them more close
ly to it and help them to visualize
| the possibilities Of country life. .
We appeal therefore to the girl
to come to the camp with whole
some purpose to get from the llttl
course of training the greatest hel
5 possible and at the same time to en-
! ter into the joys of the occasion wit
: hearty - enthusiasm. The tentatly
:. program herewith attached, althoug
$ subject to some changes, forecasts i
e a general way the line of tralnln
that will be undertaken. It is hardl

SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS.

American Army Not to Be Used I'm
I'll il Becomes Complete and
Powerful Force-StiIl Waiting For
Another German Offensive-Amer-
;can Army Men Arouse Enthusiasm
In London.
60 confident is the Entente Of its
.hilitv to withstand any drive the
Germans can launch that it has been
decided not to use the American ar
nv until it becomes a complete ard
nowerful force, according to cable
summary of operations on the vest
ern front received at Ottawa, Can,
last night from the war committee
of the British Cabinet. F..
The German armies IN Flanders
and Picardy are still inactive. Ex-
cept for their artillery wings, which
are carrying out bombardments on va
rious sectors, they are doing little
work anywhere.
Evidently the enemy is s,not yet pre-
oared to test his strength. against the
reinforced lines of the Allies, although
it is still expected that the day IS not
far distant when he again will try to
break through the allied front. Mean
while the British and French armies
are letting no opportunity pass to
neck at the Germans at points where
the enemy front is considered par
ticularly vulnerable.
North of KENNEL the French have
recovered another slice of territory ir
a sharp fight in which they came into
hand-to-hand combat with the Ger.
mans. In addition, more than loo
prisoners were taken. '.-
The Germans endeavored to Offset
this advantage by an attack against
the French northwest of Orvillers
Sorel, but the defenders turned thei1
artillery on the enemy and successful
" withstood the attack, inflictine
heavy casualties and capturing more
prisoners.
Considerable activity is in progress
in the Italian theatre. Between th'
Asiago plateau and the Brenta river
on the northern front, the Italian
have stormed Austrian positions a
Coldella Orso and destroyed the gar
rison in hand-to-hand fighting. A
several other points along the north
ern front the Italians have worste
the enemy in engagements evidentl
started with the intention of rectify
ing the line. The Austrian Emperor
accompanied by his foreign minister
has paid a visit to the Italian from
afterward proceeding to German head
quarters.
The taking of the initiative int
their own hands apparently augur
we'll for the morale of the Italians
and it is not improbable that. with tn
SHOWS in the mountain passes havin
melted an dthe spring freshets on tn
wane, it is their purpose now to max
things interesting for the invaders.
