FOES BATTLE

ap-

Continued from page One vlrate. Returning travelers tell

palling stories of the devastations

wrought by disease and starvation in the Ottoman empire. They also repeat the oft told story that the Turkish people are sick at heart over the war and its entailed miseries but are kept In subjection by the iron hand of Enver Bay and his German colleagues. A striking example of the rigidity of the German censorship is afforded by

the news that no German newspaper

Is allowed to leate the empire without

being passed by the government officials. Wire fences charged with electricity have also been erected along the German-Swiss frontier and every possible precaution has been taken to prevent the details of what is transpiring within the realms of the central powers from reaching the rest of the world. Few Important Developments Apart from France there are few developments of importance in the tvar theatres. The British continue to

drive forward in Mesopotamia but there is a curious silence in regard to

the Russian armies in that region. An attack on a fairly large scale has been made by the allies on the Saloniki front but there is nothing as yet to indicate whether a general offensive is planned in this region. Last night's fighting In the great battle in the Arras region seem3 to have' been chiefly in connection with a renewed German effort to wrest from the British the village of Gavrelle. Through the capture of this place on Monday General Haig pushed a sharp wedge into the German line along the Arras-Douai road. A German has sacrificed thousands of men in attempts to retake it but failed. - Last night's efforts were as fruitless as the rest. The attacking forces were caught by the British artillery barrage and broken up. On the Aisne battle front the French also had to

contend wita violent German re-actions. Several powerful attacks were made in an attempt to. drive General Nivelle's forces from the plateau near Phemin Des Dames. The Germans lost heavily in the breaking of these assaults by the French artillery fire.

PITTSBURGH. Pa., April 26.

The establishment of such a theatre and school was advocated by Mrs. Otis Skinner of New York, and J. Howard Reber of Philadelphia.

You Can't Brush Or Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way lo get rid of dandruff Is to dissolve it, then you destroy

it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon ; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with" the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Adv.

At first

phonograph homs were made of

metal. Some still are. But metal adds a metallic twang to sound. And so wood is supplanting it,

Hence, you hear much concerning the virtues of

wood tone chambers, horns, etc. But remember: Oak and poplar, now widely used, are knotty and coarse-grained. They hardly vibrate. A piano, with an oak or poplar sounding-board, would lack good tone. . Silver Grain Sprue, to the contrary, la fine and straight la grain and knotless. It it a sensitive, vibrant wood. Since Stradivarfas fashioned bis first master violin from it, no wood has proved its equal. A four times greater ccst restricts its nse. Determination to endow the Starr Phonograph with a tone of silvery sweetness has, however, led to the choice of silver grain spruce despite the obstacle of price.

Have you heard many phonographs? We hope so. For then you will instantly detect the richer, clearer, better tones voiced by Starr Phonographs and their Silver Grain Sprue "Singing Throats. '

Call and compare the tone! All makes of records are played faahleuly. Styles $33 and up. Beautifully finished cases, tasteful
