BRITISH ORDERED
TO HOLD POSITION

London. Field Marshal Sir Douglas
Haig, In special order Of the day
addressed to sail ranks OF the British
In France and Flanders" says:
Three weeks ago the enemy began
his terrific attacks against US on q
5O-mile front. His objects are to sep
arate us from the French. to take the
channel ports and to destroy the Brit
ish army.
I'm spite Of throwing already foe
divisions into the battle and enduring
the most reckless sacrifice OF human
life. he has yet made little progress
toward his goals,
I'VE owe this to the determined
fighting and seltsacrifice Of our
troops. Words fail me to express the
admiration which / feel for the splen-
did resistance offered by all ranks Of
our army under the most trying cir
cumstances.
Every position must be held to the
last man. There must be no retire
ment, With our backs to the wall and
believing In the justice Of our cause.
each one of us must fight to the end.
The safety Of our homes and the free
dom of mankind depend alike upon
the conduct Of each one Of US at this
critical moment" !.

matted milk
because Of the impossibility of obtaining
good milk at all times and in all places

(which are destroyed by ordinary
cooking) preserved intact.
To good rich milk HORLICK
added the valuable extract of Matted
Barley and Wheaf, containing all the
nutrition of these grains, and reduced
them to powder form, with perma-
nent keeping qualities, and soluble in
water. It was found that by the
action of the Malt fermcnts on the
milk, its digeshbility was markedly
increased over ordinary milk, so as
to render it easily assimi1atcd by the
weak stomach of the infant, the in
valid, and the aged.
This well balanced milk food was
thus perfected, which third of a
century's experience has amply
proved capable in itself Of supporting
infant and adult life.
This. new milk food F1ORLICK
named Matted Milk; it has proved a
boon to thousands upon thousands,
from infancy to old age, Of every
race and cline, and is to be found IN
every city in the civilized world.

DREV1OUS to 1883 it was neces-
sary to add milk to all prepared
/ foods for the infant and invalid,
in order to make properly balanced
diet But it was difficult and often
impossible to obtain good milk in
cities and tropical climates.
The vital problem of how to supply
a reliable milk for people Of all ages
in any climate that would be avail
able at all times, was finally solved
by HORLICK of Racine, Wis,
u. S. A., after years of labor and ex-
pertinent.
HORLICK discovered process OF
reducing fresh milk by careful evapo-
ration in a vacuum to powder form,
which contained all the valuable con-
stituents of fresh milk, would keep
Indefinitely in any climate, and yet
be soluble in hot or cold water.
This was the first time in history
that milk was, reduced to a powder
form, soluble in water, retaining its
natural qualities when dissolved, and
with all the valuable Vitan7ines

enemy's position, which was bad be-
fore. now may be said to be des-
perate. s-...- 81.
! The problem confronting the Ger
man general staff may be summed up
briefly as follows:
The enemy has nine armies strung
out in a semi-circular line from
Client to Mouson on the Mouse, q dis
lance of 100 miles. All that immense
fighting force must flow back to Ger
many through Belgium, the gap be-
tw cen Lege and Mouzon measuring
only seventy miles.
Possibility Of Disaster.
The southern half and center of this
gap is the most difficult country. 1t
is wooded, billy and poorly supplied
with roads. II the Namur-Liege re-
gion is occupied by the allies before
the Germans south Of the Sambre are
able to get away and cross the Meuse
they win be virtually surrounded and
overwhelmed in disaster.
, 1t should be remarked that Client
and LIE Quesnoy are nearer Namur and
Liege than Marie and Chateau Por-
Glen. The British armies are less than
fifty miles from Eamur. The Ger
mans on the Serre are seventy and
those on the Aisne are seventy-five.
The country north of the SamDre is
ideal for maneuvering.

A careful compilation made by the
Associated Press at 1880 o'clock,
based on returns from practically rs
per. cent of the precincts in the state,
give Newberry 17a 1913 and Ford ILL.,
377. These figures give the republican
candidate majority Of 1926 over his
democratic opponent.
With a few precincts still unre-
ported. Henry Ford has a majority
over Newberry in Wayne county (De-
troit) of 26.210.
While the democratic state central
committee expresses confidence that
Ford will be returned a winner by
several thousand, Newberry's man
ayers insist that final count will
place their candidate in the lead by
10000.
Revised Returns Change Figures.
Revised returns show that Ford carr
ried several counties which We're
placed in the Newberry column by
early reports Tuesday night. Indica-
tions ut $3.50 O'Clock this morning

With more than half the precincts
in the state reported Newberry's early
lead Of upward Of $4,000 had been
reduced largely.
The Suffrage amendment has carried
Michigan by majority of $4,000.
Gov Albert FL Sleeper has been re-
elected, and apparently the entire re-
