Lord Northeliffe has offered the ntire output of his Newfoundland paper mill to the American* publishers and his offer is expected to break the < x eessive prices on news print. Let s hope so. — The pay of the private soldier, tne man who really bears the burden during war times, is to be advanced to thirty dollars a mouth with the passage of the conscription bill. '1 J will give many a man a chanceap keep even at least while he is serving his country. All of the Indiana delegation in coagress excepting four and including Mr. Vestal of this district, voted for the selective conscription bill Saturday. We believe they will have the suppo 1 of the people for their action when the bill i- und-r<iood and we believe they vol •: the sentiment of the dis trict and t.ite in doing so.

Much of the success of the conscr.ptive registration boards depends ou the support given them by the people. This is not a time for polities or for any “pulling” one way or the other.

The next big problem for congress will be to figure out just how the war ' revenue is to be secured. Every one I agrees that the burden should .ie - liome at least to a large extent by ;he' people who earn the greatest income ; The man who makes a hundred thousand a year or more can easily pay a large share of the big tax and without J any real sacrifice. While every one will feel the tax burden more or 1< ss. it is agreed that in this case at lea. t. that from he who hath should be taken away.

London. Apr. 30— (Special to Daily Democrat >— The British advance along the Scapre was approaching a climax of intensity in fighting today. With yesterday's captures of German positions around Oppy. the British forces have now reached broken, irregular ground, where the natural ad, vantages of positions are with the enemy. Every dispatch from the front today likewise mentioned the extraordinary number of fresh troops which the Germans were interposing and the violence of their counter-at-tacks. The slopes and ridges of the Searpe valley offer unusually excellent hiding places for German machine gun crews, and the German positions along the dominating heights are strategically situated for pouring fire down on the advancing British. But despite ‘•th se disadvantages. Field Marshal Haig's troops were still thrusting forward, particularly out of Oppy and Arleux. Front dispatches today sjaike of new German long range cannon now brougfht up and put into action against the British drive. The intensity of the German fire has likewise increased, although as yet it does not anywhere mar approach the violence of the Britisk deluge of steel. CONVICT ESCAPED Bluffton officers notified I’olicem: n Reynolds Saturday night that a prisoner from the Marlon county jail had escaped and it was thought he was on the Clover Leaf freight due here at 9:20.
