CRITICAL STAGE OF
STRUGGLE Is REACHED
Hill go, the Last Natural Barrier to
the Advance of Won Arnim. and
LOcre Are in the Hands OF the Hun
Invaders

The battle of Ypres entered into a
critical stage Monday afternoon when
the German army under General Sixt
Won Arnim was flung into a concen-
trio drive against the big pivot of
Haig's left from five directions.
Hill 60, the last natural barrier
blocking the German advance on the
town from the southeast has fallen.
Berlin announced and at the same
time the village of Locre. six and a
half miles to the southwest of Ypres,
was taken, according to the same Ger
man war office statement
"A hostile attack was reported de
veloping this afternoon in the neigh
borhood OF Locre"
The British commander in chief also
foreshadOwed the attacks from the
other directions by telling of heavy
German artillery bOmbardment of the
whole Ypres position.
An allied retirement was indicated
by an earlier German war office state
ment that the army of General Won
Arnim had reached the line Lange-

from Paschendaele ridge.
The Berlin statement also asserted
that the British had withdrawn over
the Steenbach (Steenbeek) tributary
of the Douvre.

ton had stood favorably for the Brit

in his day report, had lost but then re
captured the village of Voormezeele

WISL GIVE EMPLOYMENT
TO HOMESTEADERS

The Union Pacific Railroad can give
employment to homesteaders and 9th
ers in its car shops and roundhouse
under conditions that will enable them
to earn during the balance of the sea-
son at least $4,000 per month, at ten
hours work per day.
We will cooperate in every way to
put them to work, furnishing transpor-
tation for them to return to their
homes should they need to go back
to keep line on things at the farm
If these homesteaders will apply to
the agent. to the mechanical depart
ment at the nearest terminal or to
our Division officers. we will find work
for -ber' al once. We will. of course,
furnish transportation to point where
work is and as stated above. for them
TO return to their homes when it is
necessary.
We believe this will help out ma
terially in aiding these homcsteaders
to do their part in the work of the
war and they will be performing work
essential to the railroad at this time.

anybody ever gets to be. For year,
she had been too weak and ailine to
10 any of her house work, and what
time she wasn't in bed she was bare

Il consulted specialists about her
case but they could give me no hopes
and | took her TO one of the most
celebrated health resorts in the coun-
try, hoping she would be benefited
through drinking the water, but it
seemed to do her no good. Then she
tried all kinds of medicines. but not
until she started taking Tanlac did
she find any relief whatever. After
taking few bottles OF this wonderful
medicine We are prepared TO say that
Tanlae is the only thing we have any
faith in. Her last attack of rheuma-
tism was all of two months ago, and
she hasn't had a twinge since. Her
twisetd foot is getting back into its
normal position, and that bent finger
is getting straight and supple like the
others. Her stomach is in such splen-
did condition that she can eat anything
she wants without suffering any bad
effects afterwards. Her arms and
neck are filling out, and are plump and
firm. and she sleeps like child every
night She is now able to do all her

tion than she has been in great
many years.
