Conveys Rolling
From West Front
Under Air Attack

! PARIS, Jan. "a. (UP) =
! American forces plunged for
ward toward the German
Siegfried positions east OF
the almost vanished Arden
mes bulge today amid gathering
signs that the Germans were has
tily drawing strength from the
western front to meet the crisis in
the east.
The American advance was roll
ing steadily, and ahead of the
ground forces U. S. Tactical air
forces struck at fresh targets-Nazi
conveys moving east.
Reports came from several Sec
tors of the front indicating that the
fighting in the west was being af-
fected by the German efforts to
bolster the lines shattered by the
Red army in the east.
PULL OUT TWO
Along the British-held Dut h
front, correspondents reported two
German divisions definitely had
been pulled out of the line and sent
east. British and American Tacti-
cal air forces reported heavy move
ment of German military traffic on
the lines leading away from the
| Ruhr
The American Tactical air force
! reported it had destroyed 70 more
1 German vehicles in strikes against
the Nazi rear line thus far today
The British reported they had hit
more than 160 German trains in
48 hours, many of them loaded with
troops and war materials.
FIGHTING UNCHANGED
However, there was little change
in the grim character of ground
fighting.
The American Seventh Armored
Division, with the assistance OF
the 508th Infantry of the 82nd Air
borne Division, showed east of re-
captured St. With in push to
drive the Nazis back into their Sieg-
fried positions from which they
launched the Ardennes drive De-
cember 16.
THIRD FORCES GAIN
Third Army forces moved up in
gains of one and two miles and
along about half the Ardennes sec
tor the lines were virtually where
they had been before Field Marshal
Karl Won Runstedt attacked.
The extent of the forces being
pulled out of the western front by
the Germans was not yet certain
One front report suggested that
the German Sixth Panzer Army
was being sent east hurriedly. An
other speculated that the Fifth
Panzer Army also was headed that
way. These two armies were the
spearhead of Won Rundstedt's Ar
dennes forces.
The French First Army's offen-
sive on both sides of the Colmar
pocket registered continuing gains
which, it was believed, may force
the Germans to relax their pressure
to the north where Strasbourg is
threatened.

There was no question, however,
that he would apply such descrip-

Witnesses Are
Challenged on
Water Pact Plans

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a. CUP)-
Senator Sheridan Downey, CD,
California, proposed late Tuesday
afternoon that the Mexican water
treaty be revised tc guarantee Mexi-
co 100000 acre feet of Colorado
river water per year, but provide
that no more than 100000 feet Of it
be fresh water.
Using figures placed before the
senate foreign relations committee
by state department witnesses,
Downey argued that Mexico could
be guaranteed the 100000 acre feet
by giving her 100000 acre feet of
fresh water and an estimated 90O,-
900 acre feet of the return flow at
the border.
Downey asked L. M. Lawson,
American member of the interna-
tional boundary commission, if the
state department would be willing
to make that suggestion to Mexico.
BEST TERMS CLAIMED
I'VE think we have the best terms
from Mexico we can get," Lawson
replied.
The treaty as proposed gives Mex
leo 100000 acre feet of fresh water
per year Return flow, reduced by
offshoots of the Colorado which flow
back into it further downstream,
would not be satisfactory to Mexico,
Lawson said.
F. B. Clayton, counsel for the
American section of the boundary
commission, was subjected to per-
sistent questioning by California S
aging Senator Hiram w. Johnson,
Republican.

phatically. And all these gentlemen
here speaking for Mexico forget
those eight years. 1t took great
deal of the savings of the people of
California, and all these gentlemen

Health Officers
Worn of Opening of
D%iphtherid Season

September usually marks the
beginning of the diphtheria sea-
son, when the number of cases
is apt to take a sudden jump
and the number of deaths reaches
the highest point of the year.
Diphtheria is a disease which is
largely the result of neglect
and is essentially a disease Of
childhood. 1t is dangerous and
catching, especially to those UNI
der 5 years of age. This group is
not only more likely to take
diphtheria, but is also more apt
to die of it than are older
children.
Once the most dreaded of all
childhood diseases, diphtheria
can now be prevented and
guarded against by several means
known to medical science. An
titoxin given early enough TO
victims OF the disease will usu-
ally prevent death. 1t checks
the progress of the disease but
does not give permanent pro-
lection. Toxoid, of which there
are two types, stimulates the
body to build up immunity from
diphtheria. Injection of toxoid
is a harmless, simple procedure.
The Schick test is helpful in de
termining whether or not a child
is safe from diphtheria. This is
usually given 3 to 6 months after
the toxoid treatment has been
completed, to see if an additional
injection is necessary. The test
in itself may increase the child's
immunity.
Diphtheria generally starts
with a sore throat, chilliqess,
slight fever, aching pains, AID
sometimes vomiting and head
| aches. The symptoms may be
so mild that the disease may be
mistaken For tonsillitis, Group
or some other less serious dis
ease. Diphtheria requires i'm
mediate medical treatment. The
earlier the diagnosis is made the
better will. be the outcome. The
ehild's life may be saved ana
others guarded against needless
exposure. Every child is en-
titled to the protection a doctor
or the health department can
provide. In the hands of par
ents rests the responsibility of
deciding whether their children
shall be protected or neglected.

Leo Coleman of Fort Peck had thu
best string of pike we saw last week
One large one weighed more thar
nine pounds and another was about
four pounds, with a few smaller
ones. All were caught at Nelson
reservoir.
The resettlement families spent
Labor day at the Legion plunge pic
nicking and fishing. We don't have
a report on the number of fish
caught.
Ernie Barrett caught the best
trout we heard of during the week.
Several of the fellows had nice
strings of perch.
Milt Kabeary, u sportsman's as
ISOLATION president, wasn't having
much luck Labor day, so he put his
dog in the water and had Murphy
circle the boat to run the fish in
where Milt could hook 'em.
Louie Alexander's family had a
very nice string of pike, n weigh
ing probably four pounds and an
other two pounds, with several pan
size. Mrs. Alexander said she caught
the big ones, and not wanting to
stir up an argument we let it go at
that. But we know Louie is a good
fisherman.
The Sportsman's association is
still waiting for suggestions for rec
reation facilities at the lake. The
latest proposed is a floating dock,
with boat service from the shore.
This would presumably have to be

Experts Pointers
Cited on
Raising Of Calves

BOZEMAN-Pointing to the fac
that perfection is the sum total O.
many little things we'll done, j. o
Tretsven, extension dairy specials
at Montana State college, cites sew
eral little things in the managing
of young calves that not only helr
make them better animals for the
dairy herd but also pay big divi-
dends in later years.
First, he said, always be quiet and
gentle with young calves. Take a
few minutes occasionally to make
pets of them. Before the calves are
a week old dehorn them with caus-
tic potash, and before they are four
months old cut off any extra teats.
Begin early to teach calves to lead.
This is a good job for youngsters
that have spare time.
In feeding young calves, feed
them so they make good, steady
growth at all times. Feed the calves
milk in stanchions or individual
stalls to keep them from sucking
one another.
Don't let calves get in the habit
of jumping or breaking through
fences. Tretsven also recommends
vaccinating for Black Leg and
Bangs disease!
Before heifers freshen, accustom
them to stanchions in the milking
barn for a few weeks before fresh
ening. Use special care in breaking
heifers to milk, Tretsven said, and
take plenty of time and be very
gentle with them. Above all, he
do not use hook chains.
While each of these points is a
small item in itself, if followed they
will add up to a better animal for
the dairy herd, he said.
