THE DRIVE THAT FAILED

THE DRIVE THAT FAILED
The great Austrian drive against
Italy turns out to be the most cheer
Ing thing that has happened to the
allies this year.
As drive 1t is joke. 1t may al
most be said TO have stopped before
1t started. The Italians. with little
help from the British and French.
checked the initial blow In almost
every sector Of the great battle front.
and in many cases promptly threw
back the assailants with an actual
loss OF territory. In the few places
where the enemy succeeded in
advancing at all. he was quickly
Contained" before he had got far
enough to do any harm. In these ex-
ceptional cases the defenders have
been fighting with such zest and force
that II was only a question OF days.
and In some instances hours. when
the foe was driven back altogether
behind the lines he started from.
II is something quite new in an
mails Of trench warfare. BY all prec-
edent the Austrians should have
plunged ahead in their first rush. as
the Germans have done lately in
Flanders and France. and as the Brit
ish and French have done whenever
1hey launched big offensive. The
.battering ram is always expected to
pierce the front lines. 1t is an ac-
.knowledged fact OF the new war
strategy that it takes several days to
bring powerful thrust to a halt,
before the counter offensive can be-
gin. And here we find the counter
offensive started almost simulta-
neously with the offensive itself.
Any turo in war criticism can see
In this development the pleasing
proof that Austro-Hungary today. ex
erting its utmost effort. is far inferior
10 Italy in military strength and pub
1ic morale. War-paralysis has come
upon the autocratic, artificial. preda-
troy empire OF Kaiser Karl, while the
free, youthful. democratic monarchy
of Italy is at the zenith of its power.
For little while last fall, Italy
weakened and waivered. She has
now brayely atoned for that lapse.

of the great allied allied brotherhood. a
comrade Of whom Britain, France
and America mayewell be proud.
The tide has turned. The German
&c wave has begun to recede. Aus
trian military power is breaking up
In the cross currents of political and
racial revolt The Germans on the
distant western front, sense the in
evitable. and fight with less spirit.
1t is thus far and no farther" for
the central powers. Henceforth the
allies have them on the run. To
Italy goes the credit of starting

 If Hoover ever establishes "cheat- less day"-but gee! what's the use of dreaming?
 If the capital "I" were cut out of the English language some persons couldn't talk-and that's the reason we favor it's elimination.
 The worst feature of the heavy snow fall and extremely cold wealth CT is the opening afforded for cease less and wearisome chatter on the subject.
 Some persons who think they are Chesterfeldian in their manners la bor under the impression that ped ding hot air" is the extent of true politeness.
 When you are tired of worrying over every problem that the war pre- sents, you can work up a little anx- iety over what might happen after peace is declared.
 Since the dear things began show ing such vast expanse of scenery between shoe tops and skirts the old time reference to them as ''the mod est sex" has become misft.
 Now, they want boarders to line up and sign up for food conserva- ton. The boarders, however, are firmly convinced that the landlady is doing neat and thorough job of Hooverizing and needs no suggestions from them.
 Immediately following the an nouncementl by McAdoo, director general of railroads, that there was no longer danger of coal famines, a few Arkansas towns raised a howl for more coal to let him know that he was little too previous. From the local columns of Satur- days Independent it is learned that persons crossed White river on the ice, "going from shore to shore.' Sure! But if they had crossed the river without going from shore to shore-well, that would have been some interesting news!

do by all means get rid Of dan
druff, for 1t will starve your hair
and ruin II II you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try
to brush or wash 1t out. The only

to dissolve 1t, then you destroy It
entirely. To do this. get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid ar
van; apply it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub 1t in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most II not all, OF
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of It.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging OF the scalp will
stop, and your hair will look and
feel q hundred times better. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. II 10 inexpensive and four
ounces Is all you will need, NO
matter how much dandruff you
have. This simple remedy never
fails. --Advertisement.

BILL ASKS
AUSTRIAN
OFFENSIVE

PARIS, May 1.-THE kaiser,
during his conference with EN-
peror Karl at grand headquarters,
insisted on a big Austrian Offens-
i've against Italy, simultaneously
with the renewal of the west front
drive, ccording to report re-
ceived here today.
Recent dispatches have empha-
sized the preparations for an Of
fensive in Italy, including a
strengthening of the Austrian re-
serves there, together with heavy
concentrations of artillery and
airplanes. A considerable force
of Austrian artillery is under
stood to have been moved to that
theater from the west front.
The conference in which the
Austrian and German staffs par
ticipated occurred Friday. 1t was
officially announced from Berlin
yesterday that political, economic
and military matters were dis
cussed," and that satisfactory
agreement was reached.

Best Way to Wash the Hair

We find you can bring out the
beauty of your hair to its very
best advantage by washing it with
Canthrox. 1t makes a very SIM
pie, inexpensive shampoo, which
cleanses the hair and scalp thoroly
of all the dandruff, dirt and ex-
cess oil, leaving a wonderfully
clean, wholesome feeling. After
it's use you will find that the hair
dries quickly and evenly, is never
streaked in appearance and as al
ways bright, soft and fluffy; so
fluffy, in fact, that 1t looks more
abundant than l. is, and so soft
that arranging it becomes pleas
ure. Just use teaspoonful of
Canthrox, which you can get from
any good druggists, dissolve it in
a cup of hot water; this makes a
full cup of shampoo liquid, enough
SO it is easy to apply it to all the
hair instead of just the top of the
head.

serious fire in it's history.

breeze from the west. Within an
hour, three canneries, the Star,
Stevestpn and Lighthouse, had
been burned, together with all the
valuable machinery they con-
tanned.
The fire was carried to block
of stores and hotels, which have
also been practically destroyed
The burned hotels are the London
and Richmond.
At noon the fire was still blaz-
ing fiercely. Twenty-four build
ings we're either totally destroyed
or heavily afire.
All over the town, men and
women-Chinese and Japanese,
as well as WILTSHIRE busily en-
gagged piling their furniture on
wagons and automobiles. trying
to get their goods away from the
danger zone.
Estimates made at II o'clock
