AlIies Standing Firm.


 British and French troops south west of Ypres, having firmly re-estab- lished the line attacked on Wednesday, are awaiting the next movements by the Germans in their efforts to drive thru behind Ypres. The latest repulse was the second the Germans have suf- fered along the Vooremezeele Locrel line since the capture of Mount Kem- mel, but further attempts by the en- emy are expected.
 Attention is being paid by the Ger mans to the British line north of the somme in Picardy and for the first time in several weeks the enemy again has attempted to advance his lines west of Albert In 3 local attack on the British. after suffering heavy losses. the Germans have captured l50 yards of the British first line but were repulsed elsewhere A similar operation at Bouzincorut north of AL bert was smached by the fire of the British rifles and machine guns.
 Great Artillery Activity
 Elsewhere along the Flanders and Somme battlefelds only the artillery has been active. Paris reports violent firing in the sector north of Montdid- fer to Hailles
 Latest reports indicate the German effort in the north was to have been in great strength but that the artill- ax-tr n,, tha ,.oot a~,4 a ET~o,nct, sv,4o.,F.-,. attack and barrage on the west broke up the enemy divisions waiting to join the attack. As a result only two di- visions attacked on the scant five miles between Yooremeezle and La clytte. After much heavy fighting these troops had gained nothing and had sustained heavy losses. Berlin re- ports the capture of 675 Anglo French troops in successful attacks.

Second Lieut.
the New Style

He's younger than the most OF us
far younger than the Top,
And, bein' young, he's full of pep
and keeps us on the hop;
lie hasn't been in long enough to
sour ON the game:
He's tickled as kid with it
that's why we bless his name!
He puts US thru all sorts of stunts
to liven up the drill,
He laughs when he turns corners
sharp and takes a muddy spill;
It's up and in it all the time-he
never seems to tire,
And doesn't know what duckin
means in face of Fritzy's fire!
He always calls us Fellows
never pulls the line, My men,;
He likes to think he's one of us;
and, back in billets, when
He has to make inspections, he'll
sit down and chin while,
And as to all this "Yes, sir" stuff,
"Oh, can it," That's his style.
At shows, he plays his uke for us,
and sings his college glees,
And if there's piano, WOW! He
sure can pound the keys!
On hikes he always starts a song,
or sends along a laugh
And those are things, you darn
we'll know, that help US stand
the gaff.
| never cared for collage guys
when / was in the States;
I thot they were snobby lot, a
bunch of underweights,
But If our Loot's a sample, why,
I've got to change my mind
He's got the CUTS, the bean and &c
to pull us thru the grind!

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that
every movie actress yor have
seen has lovely hair, while the
most popular count their curls as
their chief beauty? In fact, many
are leading ladies just because of
their attractive looks. Inquiry
among them discloses the fact that
they bring out all the natural
beauty of their hair by careful
shampooing, not with any soap
or makeshift, but with a simple
mixture by putting a teaspoonful
of Canthrox (Which they get from
the druggist) in a cup of hot
water, and applying this instead
of soap. This full cup of sham
poo liquid is enough so 1t is easy
to apply 1t to all the hair instead
of just the top of the head. After
its use, the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color. Dandruff,
excess oil and dirt are dissolved
and entirely disappear. The hair
is so fluffy that 1t looks much
heavier than 1t is, its luster and
softness are delightful.
