FRIGHT METHODS FAIL
TO STOP THE AMERICANS
"No. Right" to Advance Through
arrage, German Prisoner Con-
fends.

WIN VIC sAa'CHNoh <-Amy IL
France, July.-American unconcerr
in a close fight not only has sur.
prised the enemy, but it has brought
a feeling Of dismay to picked de-
tachments charged with the duty ot
driving the fear of the Germans IN;
to the soldiers from overseas.
1t appears to be a sort of. gospel
among the Germans thatswhep they
attack for the purpose Of spreading
terror, after careful plans and pre-.
parations,, the advisory should lie
low and succumb or surrender at the
scheduled moment. They are slow
to admit that their chosen victims
may be anything but terrorized ,ol
that they may be found anywhere
else than under cover when "the
frightfulness" comes along.
Yet they do find American boys al
times coming out into the open, of.
ten rashly and unnecessarily, to
meet the worst they have to offer;
This fighting spirit often amounts to
foolhardiness and that is how the
Germans classify it, although more
in distress than in anger.
Some of the men from across the
Rhine declare that it is not only
foolhardly, but that it violates the
fighting rules established since 1914
for a man to face them in the open
when it is their attack.
eve couldn't take the village be-
cause the Americans were where
they had no business to be-" said a
prisoner captured at Xiray, on the
Toul sector. "They came right out
through the barrage and it wasn't
right"
Asked why it was not right, the
German replied naively:
"They might have been killed"
Although there is no evidence, it
is probable that some unnecessary
losses are attributable to this temer-
ity-losses that will diminish as ex-
perience tempers zeal. However,
the Germans have learned that their
claim to No Mans Land is question
ed seriously by the Americans. The
Germans in these excursions strive
to "rattle" the new soldiers as vet
eran baseball players do a new
conner. But as many diamond star
has developed from man hooted on
his first appearance, so real soldiers
are being made out of boys who have
met the enemy when they were new
to the fighting game.

Tha.O Along Ohio Brings
Another Flood Warning

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. s-With
the Ohio here falling as the river back
ed over the lowlands above Evans
vile, allowing the water to flow
through the cutoff, relieving pressure
of the gorged ice here, the gorge be-
came more firmly packed. Rivermen
say the ice probably will hold until
another rise loosens it.
A. A. Brand, weather observer here,
today issued a new flood warning to
ali owners of live stock and floating
property in the bottom lands. The
thawing weather is expected to bring
flood in the Ohio, the extent of
which it is impossible to estimate at
this time. It was estimated by grain
men here that probably 100000 BUSH
els of corn in field in Kentucky will
be lost. The river here stands at thir-
ty-seyen feet, two feet above the flood
mark
The ice gorge which packs the river
i'll trout of Evansville has backed up
into Green River for two miles,. and
the local fleet has run up to Spots
Vile dam for safety.

Alice Brady has started work on a
new picture, at present called Ruth
less Russia" and one that it is thought
will give her exceptional opportunities
It's theme and setting are unusually
congenial to her talents and it will be
remembered that Miss Brady has
achieved rare success in her interpre-
tations Of Russian heroines. The pic.
ture deals with scenes and events in
modern Russian life, it's action taking
place shortly before the recent revolu-
ton. Miss. Brady plays the part of an
surgeons daughter, who became the
victim Of and later the wife of one of
the cars bodyguard. The role is said
to be intensely dramatic and one that
will yield Miss, Brady many opportun-
tiles for powerful emotional acting
She will be supported by competent
cast, including Frank Morgan, who
played opposite her in her recent The
Knife" and Charles Francis, Harry
Southland and Russell Bassett.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very Injurious, as 1t
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely gpeaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle
of dust, dirt and dandruff

Missouri liautenant's hands were
swollen to twice their normal size
from the cold. he having lost his
gloves during the encounter. Other
wise he is today just abolt the hap
piest officer In the American expedf-
tionary force. He has been in France
only a short time.
The incident shows how quickly
things may happen to a flier. The
Missouri lieutenant had no thought Of
making a flight until just before he
actually started on one, having come
to town from a camp to see a dentist.
IN the stree. he met the other Ameri
can lieutenant who already had been
assigned to accompany the bombing
party. This officer, who is from At
lanta, after announcing that he was
going on a bombing raid over Ger
many with the French, asked the Mis-
sourian to come along and see him
off. The Missourian agreed and went
to the field.
The Albanian had climbed into his
machine when one Of the French pi-
lots discovered that his observer was
missing. Only one suggestion was
necessary to cause the Missourian
quickly to telephone for and receive
permission &c go. He explained his
inexperience, but the Frenchman said
that made no difference. Thus he be
gan the flight in which he brought
down the German machine.

the order was universally observed.
Beginning Wednesday sales of flour
were resumed in limited quantities

Fayette county citizens, Mr.. Letter
declared in reference to his order,

chased in excessive quantities to such
an extent that famine was threaten

al amount of flour was sold. To check
this boarding, the county food admin

take drastic action"
Mr. Letter now announces that
where he can locate more than the
legal allowance Of wheat flour in any
private home or shortage house the
same will be confiscated, returned to
the dealer and again offered for sale.
He also points out to the hoarders the
