a better proof Of human foolish

England's wonderful achievements
In the war. 1t is he that had
brains and moral courage to put
the whole British army under the

One leader loses a war and his

Another wins the war and the

Something in that.

Be Made From Eleven Sources.

Special inductions into army serv-
ice may be made from eleven sources
and from those sources alone-ac-
cording to an announcement today
from the office of Charles S. Huff
man, adjutant general. Men in cur
rent selective draft calls are not sub

Hundreds of applications for special
inductions have come to state depart

many cases been sent, also, to men at
army environments. While men sub
ject to call may be specially indicted
by certain officials, the inductions do
not apply to men in current calls. 1t
was announced today that the follow
ing persons only have authority to is

TREAT men WELL
That's All Spanish Official Says
of U. S. Prisoners.
Washington Secretly Doubts
About German Camps.

Washington, May 1.-Germany
abusing American prisoners of war
Not at all, according to reports of
Spanish prison camp inspectors.
Germany not giving the prisoners
what they need ?" Absurd-by the
same source.
One camp has so much water that
the prisoners can have one bath a
week. Elsewhere conditions are quite
satisfactory, say the official reports of
these inspectors, as forwarded to the
American government.
They boosted about the one bath a
week camp. Did that not conform to
the old established custom of bathing
on Saturday night, even tho the Amer
lean army does teach a man that daily
cleanliness is a health asset?
All American inquiries as to treat-
ment of prisoners, it became known
today, have invariably been answered
thru Spain with reports that the men
are we'll treated. Authorities believe
these reports distorted or based on
misinformation.
Cannot Learn Truth?
Spain is looking after American in
terests in Germany. This includes
prison camp inspection. Spanish dip
lomats, according to yelled sugges-
tons here, have been none too inter-
ested in this wook.
1t is admitted that the Spanish have
DIFFICULTY in getting at the true facts
themselves. Ambassador Gerard had
trouble when he was looking after
British prisoners interests in Ger
many. But he did not camouflage his
reports on conditions

With the American Army on the
French Battle Front, April 30
(night) 1.-The Germans brought up ad-
ditional artillery, following the arrival
of American forces in the line here.
Fierce duels are in progress. One viii
lase has been entirely wiped out.
In the last forty-eight hours, the
American guns have raked the roads
and the villages in the rear of the
German lines and have barraged their
front lines.
The boche poured in high explo-

continuing thru the night. The Amer

directly westward after converging
with the Luce. The town is three
miles and half west and slightly
south of lanyard. It is about seven
miles and a half southeast of Amiens
The Luce flows westward and slightly
southwark. 1t is along the north bank
of this stream that the allied line is
supposed to be held. The Avre flows
in a general northwesterly direction,
thru Mont Didier, Moreui1 and Amiens.
About a mile east of Hangard and
back of the German lines, is the i'm

Enables is about three miles south and
west of Demuin and two miles from
the Luce. Moreuil is three miles south
and east of Hailles, on the east bank
of the Avre.
The most important roads in this
area are the highways from Moreuil
to Amiens and from Roye to Amiens.
Improving Positions.
The American Franch front sector
is steadying. Unless there are new
German attacks, trenches soon will be
improved and dugouts constructed
and it will become the old problem
of trench warfare, instead of the new
half trench, half open warfare.
There are no infantry actions here,
except minor patrol engagements.
There was heavy rain tonight. The
Americans are digging in and erecting

Proceeds From Harvest to Or

Monster Husking Bees Suggest
ed by Mrs. Connolly.

Kansas farmers may be asked to
donate an acre of corn from their
fields as an offering to the Red Cross
service. under a plan urged today by
Mrs. M. A. Connolly of White Cloud,
Doniphan county. in a letter to Gov
ernor Capper. The White Cloud
woman proposed that the corn be
gathered by women and girls-volun-
teer workers-at monster husklns
bees in the big corn producing
counties.
Thousands of acres of Kansas corn
land will be pledged to the Red Cross
society under the plan proposed by
prices for corn-$1.6O to $40 a
bushel-the big war relief organiza-
ton would receive hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in returns from the
farms of the state. Mrs Connolly
urged that every land owner pledge
the crop from one acre of land this
year. Renters may also be asked to
give the yield from an acre of land,
but direct appeals would be made es-
pecially to owners of farm land.
Women to Gather Crops.
Women and girls in Red Cross work
il. all sections of the state would be
called into the service of gathering
the crops. Thousands of wives and
daughters of Kansas farmers are now
working; for the Red Cross and are
included IN the volunteer armies with
headquarters in the small towns and
cities These women would go into
the fields and gather the crops. Mrs.
Connolly proposes. Husking bees

festivals would be organized in every
locality and the products from the
farms would be sold for the benefit

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-
tute for calomel - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teethe
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take calomel, but to let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, ~dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
