estimated that approximately sss.eee
men woro actively engaged in the com.
bats that have been IN prosrsss during
the past few days This estimate. Of
course. does not include the reserves
held behInd the lines.
The present fighting is progressing
over q rather broken country. and the
Germans are meeting with the fiercest
resistance on every inch Of Il, and
they are open TO counterattacks that
are perilous for them. The slight fluc-
tuations in the lines in the last few
days show how the French and British
are taking advantage Of the natural
conformation OF the ground, while
they are strengthening their defensive
lines and their artillery.
The Anniversary OF the entry Of the
United States into the war was made
the occasion Of celebrative functions in
London. Paris and Rome and the send
ing Of numerous messages Of fslicita-
ton by allied leaders. A notable ut
terance was tLat by Premier Lloyd
George. in which he predicted that
during "the next few weeks" the Uni
ted States would give the Prussian
military junta the surprise Of their
lives"

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

"our boys must have their smokes.
Send them cigarettes!" This is q
familiar appeal now to all of US.
Among those most In demand Is
the now famous toasted" cigarette
LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this
favorite brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight Of the familiar green packages
with The red circle.
This homelike. appetizing quality
of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. "It's toasted was the $50
gan" that made a great success Of
LUCKY STRIKE in less than a year.
Now the American Tobacco Co. is
making Is million LUCKY STRIKE

IRISH DRAFT TO GO
WITH HOME RULE

London.---David Lloyd Georgia TIE
British prime minister. made the hsld.
est stroke OF his career By coupling
home rule for ireland with the con
scription OF Irishnaen.
This unexpected announcement was
made in an address by the premier In
the house Of commons. In presenting
the new conscription bill to parlia-
ment.
The premier said that the nnan-pow.
er act would be extended to Ireland
under the same conditions AZ to Great
Britain and that q measure Of self.
government for Ireland would be ia.
troduced.
The first impression was skeptieisrn
as to whether the war cabinet could
frame measure which would stand
that test. and the fear that the country
might be plunged again into the old
fury Of the Irish quarrel while fight
ing for its life against enemies out
side its walls.
The atmosphere OF the house Of
commons did not foreshadow success.
From his first sentence on Ireland,
the premier was assailed with what
Reuters correspondent describes as
running, hostile comment from the
Irish benches"
