Build Potash RefinerieS

Two potash refining plants are i'll
course of construction in Cherry
county, one at Eli and the other at
Merriman, both on the Northwest
ern's Black Hills line.
Cherry county is the center of the
sandhill country of Nebraska and
within its limits there are numerous
small lakes that until recently, with
the ranchers, have been looked upon
as liabilities instead of assets. Re-
ports to the Northwestern offices here
are to the effect that the water of
practically all these lakes is rich in
alkali salts, convertible into potash.
1t is said that ranches on which there
are lakes and which a year ago sold
at around Sc to $40 an acre have gone
up and are now selling at fabulous
prices.

OBJECTS OF TEUTONS
ARE REPORTED FAILED
One Was To Destroy the English
Army; Other to Brighten
French
HENRY WOOD

With the French Armies on the
Western Front, March 27.-The Ger
man offensive appears to have had
two great objects. One was to de-
stroy the British army and the other
was to break down the courage of the
French people. Both of these pur-
poses have failed. The morale of
the civilians of Paris and elsewhere
is fully as high as that of the French
army itself.
1t is believed that one object of the
driven was to restore the prestige of
the Hohenzollarn dynasty. After the
British army had been vanquished, it
is believed that the idea was to have
the crown prince make a victorious
thrust against the French through
the Champagne region, giving him
military CORY, and restoring MIN in
the favor of the peoIe.

that the enemy has regained most of
the ground that he gave up in his

should note, however that the enemy
is three Or four days behind his

fully one third of his western forces

the fray, whenever their commanders
see that the time has arrived to give
the word.
There has been no flight and no
panic on the part of either the Brit
ish or French soldiers. The losses
that the enemy has suffered in the
attack are most tremendous. The
reports indicate that the Germans
have lost three to four times as many
as the British.
The supremacy of the allies in the

morale of the allies is splendid.
