FRESH TROOPS ON FIRING LINE HELP CHASE GERMANS (CONTINUKD FROM PAGE ONE) filet with the retiring Invaders on the front from the heights north of the
river Aisne eastward to a point nortn
of Rheims. The forward movement of the allies between tho forest of Argonno and the .Meuso continues. 71ie pressure of the allies has had the effect cf straightening the battle front until it is now almost a straight line to a point east of the Mease, and near Ktaln. The problem of the- German generals has been to find a suitable line for a defensive battle wnich, of course, must be fought before the kaiser's generals can give any thought to any possible offensive movement. Men JU1 I lack Again. Reing driven from north of the Aisne, the Germans may fall "back to their next good line of resistance which Keems to be southwest of Mezleres through Retheland and Chateau Porcien. Just west of the Chateau Porcien lies the great French army maneuvering grounds, known as
camp Sissonne, where magnificent sham battles have been fought In the past. It riay be that tho ground which saw the game of war played as a mere game in the past, may see hostilities in realty with gun powder and blood and corpses.
In the meantime the fifth and sixth French army and the British are bearing with terrific pressure against the right flank of the Germans, creeping northward day by day In a movement which, if a propitious time comes, may suddenly develop into a great enveloping sweep. Heavy French forces are pushing up the Meuse, east of tho forest of Argonno delivering sledge hammer blows upon the German forces of the crown prince, and Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, Rolgians Great Aid. The allies are also helped by tho force which the Relgians and their allies are exerting against the Germans in Belgium. The Germans are being harassed on every side except the rear, in what appears to be an attempt at the most magnificent and most gigantic bottling' movement in the history of warfare. Since tho battle of the Marno, a great many more soldiers have been seen off duty in the streets of Paris than at any other time since hostilities commenced. Among them are many wounded who hobble with crutches or wear their arms In slings or else have bandaged heads. As soon as they appear the railroad quickly surrounded by sympathizers eager to praise and get stories of the front. The Knglish. and Turcos are very popular. The French war office has requested that all soldiers on leave or more of 4 8 hours, must submit their furlough certificates to tho local commander. An order has also been issued that every soldier speaking of his military operations In a way to cause disquietude must rejoin . his corps immediately. Many Seriously "Wounded. Out of tho 760 wounded Germans who arrived at Larocholle on Tuesday, 131 were in such grave condition that they could not be transferred from the station to the hospitals and a number of them have since died. The mortality among the German wounded is much higher than that of tho French. Of 7,000 French wounded in the hospitals at Vichy more than ,200 have been discharged pronounced cured. Most of tho French wounded are suffering from bullet
wounds, while most of the Germans have shell and bayonet wounds. Keller of Fort Important. The relief of Fort Tryon ((which was announced by the French war office) may have an Important bearing upon the maneuvers and fate of the German army. The Germans were investing Fort Troyon and the neighboring fort3 between Tcul and Verdun with the object of opening a way of retreat on their left The failure of this plan has left the valley of the Meuse between Verdun and Toui completely in the hands of the French, according to the military authorities here. It is said that the only German line of communication across the Meuse now exists at Stenay gap. One complaint which comes from the front relates to the lack of cavalry among the allies. The French cavalry has been unfortunate. Too often it timed its arrival upon the field of action and its brilliant charges swept tho crest only after the German guns has secured the range to mow them down. Belfort in State of Siege, Relfort, France, is in a state of siege and, according to tho French military authorities is in a position to resist attack indefinitely.

common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with tho finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be cone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve, and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be Huffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you value your hair, you should get rid of dandruff at once, for noth
ing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes
it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, drj brittle and lifeless, and everybody notices it.
