carly this morning:
American troops are now reinforcing
the British line in France, along the
greater portion of which the Germans
are keeping up their strong attacks with
hordcs of men and great concentrations
OF artillery in the effort to penetrate
the lines of the allies in northern France
and Belgium. II was a happy lot of men
that swung into the sector chosen for
them, and they were greeted with great
enthusiasm.
From the south Of Yprcs in Belgium
20 the region of LaBasacc in France the
new offensive of the Germans is being
carried out with great desperation, with
thousands of men, under cover Of I'M
preccdcntcd bombardmcnts of the al
lied rear lines, endeavoring to pierce
the fronts held by the British and Por-
tugueSc--and now also at some an
named point by Americans.
On several sectors of the new 2J-milc
battle line south OF Yprcs few deer
salicntS have been driven by the enemy
but in the process the Germans nowhere
have been able to break through the
line, merely bending it back under tho
great pressure.
/ In the fighting between Armcnticrc,
and LaBaSscC canal the Germans tool
5000 prisoners and 100 guns, Berlin re
ports. 1t is asserted also that the Ly.
river has been crossed at several point
between Armcntieres and Estairc.

FORTIFICATIONS

In Addition for Use of American Sub
marine Destroyers and Other Craft
1t Will Serve as Honing Station for
AirnlaneS


NASHlNGTON, April ll.-For the pro-
lection of the Atlantic trade route to
Southern France the United States. with
the consent of Portugal, has established
a naval base at Funchal on the Azore is
lands. Guns have been landed to begin
the fortificatiOn of the station which, in
addition to being used as a naval base
for American submarine destroyers and
other small craft, also will serve as an
important homing station for American
airplanes a number of which already
have been assembled there
Negotiations now are in progress be
tween the state department and the Por-
tuguese government to insure full CO.
operation between American naval forces
and the local authorities of Portugal on
the islands for the adequate defense of
the station.
This action will simplify the task of
protecting the great trade routes, not only
to Southern Europe and the Mediter-
ranean, but also returning traffic to
South American and southern Gulf ports
in the United States. Portugal was eager
to enter the arrangement so that her own
lines of communication to her colonial
possessions would be covered.

If you have dandruf you must get rid of it quick-it's positively danger ous and will surely ruin your hair if you don't. -.-.,s...

 The only sure way. to abolish dan druff for good is to dessroy the germ that causes it. To do this quickly, surely and safely; and at little ex- pense, there is nothing so effective as Partisan sage, which you can get from Lee & aOsgood Co., and good druggists everywhere. It is guaranteed to ban ish dandruff, stop itching scalp and falling hair, and promote new growth or the cost small as it is, will be refunded.
