WASHINGTON IS
THRILLED BY NEWS

Washington. March shing-
ton was thrilled today by the news
that American soldiers actually are
on their way to the fighting lines to
take places beside their hard pressed
British ard French allies.
Maj. Gen. March, acting chief of
staff said tonight the war depart
ment had not been advised that
PershinS's fighting men were moving
to places in the British French line.
But the news has been expected ever
mand under the French chief of
staff, Gen. Foch and Gen. Pershing' S
formal offer of all the available
American resources.
Too much may not. be said about
the number and position of the
American troops, because of military
reasons. 1t is no violation Of the
censorship, however, to say that
probably 100000 or more American
fighting men fully equipped and in
tensively trained in the school of ac
tual battle conditions are available
at once to be thrown into places to
strengthen the British and French
lines whenever they threaten to
buckle under the ferocity of the Ger
man onslauShts.
Every officer of the American gen.
eral staff and every member of
President Wilson's administration
has been looking forward to the day
when American troops would actually
take their places in the big battle
now raging Easter crowds on par
ade on pennsylvania avenue. and
about the White House grounds and
everywhere heard the news and
gathered about newspaper bulletin
boards where The Associated Press
dispatches were posted and read the
news with great enthusiasm.
War department officials had no
knowledge tonight of the measures
taken by Gen. Foch or his instruc-
lions to Gen. Pershing.
Until detailed reports come from
the American commander they will
be unable to appraise the changes in
their plans which the new situation
in France may call for. The Ameri-
canization Of a large section of
France. Of railways, of ports of de-
lbarkation and of a portion of the
great lighting front has been well I'M
der way. The apparent German de-
termination to bring the war to an
issue at once. indicated by the ter
rible power already displayed in the
German offensive, may upset all these
plans.
Officials here hope the orders given
American troops will set them in the
offensive columns which they believe
Gen Foch is organizing for this coun-
ter blow. They are confident that
Gen. Pershing now has available Sec
tor to render effective aid in the
counter attack.
~ the war department. meanwhile
olhclals are studying every angle of
the transportation problem anew with
a view of expediting delivery in
France of American divisions They
are preparing to shortcut previous
oeays IN every possible way.

FARMERS WIN THEIR BATTLE.
CORTLAND Agriculturists Didn't Like
Food Administration Order.

CORTLAND, Kan, Aug. ga meet
the opera house this week with H. A.
Chapon, county food administrator, in
attendance to discuss the price of
threshing in the county. The farmers
were indignant over the price set by
the food administrator. as most of the
machines could be had for one or two
cents less than the price set by the adj
ministrator. The farmers and thresh-
ers asserted that they should set the
price. and not the food administrator.
After some heated discussions, the
food administrator withdrew from his
position, and the farmers won the
battle.

Removes Wrinkles and
Refreshes Tired Faces

As the skin tends to expand in warm
weather, causing wrinkles to form, a good
astringent- tonic lotion should be used
these days. Dissolve an ounce of pure
powdered saxalite in a half pint of witch
hazel. Battle the face in this and see how
quickly the wrinkles and burrows will dis
aPpear-and how much younger you will
look! There's nothing better for sagging
cheeks or double chin, or for enlarged
pores
Use this simple lotion during the heat
of the day and you will find 1t wonderfully
refreshing. You will lose that Willy. tired
look. The ingredients Of course are per-
fectly harmless. Be sure to ask the drug
gist for powdered saXolite.-Adv.
