Paris, March, 2s.-The great bat
tie now is raging over a front of
more than seventy miles. This ex-
tension of the line has increased the
number of German reserves engag-
ed. Although thus far no decisive
success has been obtained anywhere
there is increased confidence here.
The impression in semiofficial circles
is that the allies have not only held
off the Germans but now are no
longer compelled to permit the en-
emy by his maneuvers to shape the
course which the battle shall take.
The general feeling is that for
Germany the battle virtually is lost,
that for the allies the battle is about
10 begin.
Paris Not Objective
The operations thus far are ac-
cepted as confirming the theory that
Paris was not the main objective of
the German offensive but that the
plan of the enemy was to break the
connection between the French and
British armies in which he has tail
ed. His main direct attack was
westward toward the sea. The Ger
mans seek Amiens because this town

communication with England. The
loss of Amiens would be inconven-
lent, but not vital.
Marcel Sembat, former minister of
public work, in France, writes: Ger
man attack in the Montdidier re-
gion is likely to prove formidable
failure.
Amiens to Be Defeated
Toward Amiens, which is the real
objective of the Germans, their at
tacks are meeting with stubborn
defense. They must have Amiens
to cut off the British. They must
reach the sea to attempt an envelcp-
ing movement. Nothing viii II be
spared to defend Amiens to the last.
The eighth day of the battle
brought change in the weather, if
conditions at the front are the same
as in Paris. The wind shifted from
the northwest to the southeast, which
will prevent the Germans from us
ing gas. Rain is falling, which will
make it difficult for the Germans
to bring up their artillery over the
ground they have acquired.
1t now may be said that the French
armies in reserve have come into
position, and the numerical super
ority of the Germans in their first
rush is decreasing.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemisheS; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
juice alone is acid. therefore irritat-
ing, and should be mixed with or
chard white this way. Strain through
fine cloth the juice of two fresh
lemons into bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard
white, then shake we'll and you have
whole quarter pint of skin and
complexion lotion at about the cost
one usually pays for a small jar Of
ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice SO no pulp
gets into the bottle,S then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
face, neck, arms and hands it
should help to bleach, clear, smooth

Any druggist will supply three
ounces or orchard white at very little
cost and the procer has the lemons.

ExpeI La Toilette From
Senate Williams Advises

Washington, March 2s.-The ex-
pulsion of Senator La Toilette, of
Wisconsin, from the Senate. was
urged by John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, yesterday in debate. The
Mississippian referred to what he
called "fulsome praise in Wis

an excerpt, exclaimed:
"Of course. that refers to the pres
ent Senator from Wisconsin, Mr.. La
Toilette, who ought to be expelled
from this body"

Senate Chamber, having been absent
from THE Capitol more than two
months because of the illness of his

tions, which has had an investigation
into charges against Senator La Fol-
lette pending since last October, is
awaiting his return to the Capitol be-
fore resuming it's inquiry.

A noted Cincinnati authority dis
covered a new ether compound and
called it freeZone and a quarter
ounce of it now can be had for a few
cents at any drug store.
You simply apply a few drops of
this magic 'freezone upon a tender
corn or painful callus and instantly
the soreness disappears, then shortly
you will find the corn or callus so
loose that you can lift it off with the
fingers.
You feel no pain, not a particle of
soreness, either when applying free
zone or afterwards, and it doesn't
even irritate the skin.
Hard corns, soft corns or corns

scARFjELD,s DRASTIC MEASURE

IA few days ago one would have little
( Imagined that the government would
Iresort to measure so drastic as the
ore promulgated by DR.. Garfield, the
4 national fuel administrator. in which
he ordered the closing of factories and
\ business houses east of the MISSISSIPPI
pi5river for a period Of five days. One
v4lild have said that such step would
fsnsf~ to paralze business and that the
imposition would be so great that no
hstience would be exercised by the
6nsiness men of the country. The Or
d. came like thunderbolt to the
ssaiIeat business interests of the coun.
III, yet they are willing to make the
sGcrifice and have accepted, in the
I1ain, the action of the government,
and are willing to make other sacri-
aces which seem to be necessary in or
der to conserve the fuel supply of the
country.

and employees of the railroads, Secre.
tary McAdOo said "the government
having assumed possession and con-
troll of the railroads for the period Of
the present war with Germany. it be-
comes more than ever obligatory upon
every officer and employee to apply
himself with unreserved energy and
unquestioned loyalty to his work."
This is an unfortunate expression,
and, if the idea should be generally &C.
cepted, it would tend to make men in
private employment less appreciative
of the Importance of faithful work
Railroad employees are under no great
er obligation to apply themselves now
than they were before the government

be hoped will result to the govern.
ment's action. Tile object of this dras,
tic measure was to reduce the use OF
coal for q few days in the expectation
that the supply will become adequate
for all legitimate needs. The sugges
ton was made that the coal supply as
the fuel administrator found it a few
days ago was not sufficient to furnish
power for transportation purposes to
clear the docks of the ships on the At
lantic coast, and to relieve the con.
gested condition generally of the traf.
fic east of the Mississippi river. The
result goes to show that by the sus.
pension of business and the manufac.
turing for five days, sufficient fuel has
been saved to insure that vessels for
Europe, loaded with supplies, will be
able to clear the piers and that freight
cars crowded on sidetracks will be
forwarded to their destination. If
these results are carried out as di-
rected then the personal sacrifice OF
been made in vain.
While the order Of the fuel commits.
sion did not apply to Iowa or to this
locality, the business men of Denison
voluntarily agreed that all business
should be suspended in the city, ex
cept in rare instances, and that the
opening and closing each day should
be governed by the spirit of the order
Of Dr. Garfield. This arrangement is
full evidence of the patriotism of our
people, that they will voluntarily aban'
don business in order to save fuel fol-
the use of the government in the pros
'ecution of the war. Our opinion is
that the most important work that any
of us have to do at this time is to un
selfishly aid the government in every
possible way to carry out its purposes
and to facilitate it's winning the war
We are pleased to know that oul
own community ranks first in the spirit
of patriotism, which prompts our PEG
pie without complaining to do the
things which it is felt count in favor
of the government. The sacrifice
which business makes compared tt
that of our boys who have gone to the
front is Of little moment. and We
should not hesitate to do our part in
order to tighten the work Of the boys
in winning the war.

JOLT FOR SCHOOL FRATERNITIEs

That school fraternities in
DHsNE L. experience a jolt by the
~ 4lrts Of the state. Some young peo-
Il lie were expelled from the schools in
81 les Moines because they refused to
conform to the directions of the school
board with respect to their connection
With fraternities, and the matter found
ITS way into the courts. The lower
& court held that the school board was
justified in the course it adopted and
{ the matter was appealed to the SUI
4 preme court, which holds that the law
!; governing school boards authority to
deal with these cases is constitutional
and that the action of the board in the
instant case was proper.
We are pleased to know that school
& boards are disposed to recognize that
4 too much time is spent by students
with matters that have little to do with
NJ heir advancement along educational
q lines, and that they have the courage
Ito frown upon such organizations. We
u predict that in time football and other
organizations of this character will not
find favor with school boards to the
extent that they have in the past. or
\ course it is claimed that the student
R must keep his studies up in order to
1 become eligible for participation in
-fO6tball contests, but everyone knows
i that to some extent at least this is a
fiction, and that the minds of the
1ptipils are so far drawn away from
their legitimate school work that harm
results and when the pupil becomes
more interested in the maintenance of
ssfraternities and other organizations
than in his regular school work, we
think 1t is time to call a halt on such
proceedings.
This doctrine is not popular with
those who advocate these things, but
we believe 1t is in the interest of good
school work that restraining influ-
ence be placed upon them, and that the
object for which schools are created,
namely the development and educa-
Il Hon OF the mind of the pupil, shall at
