BRITISH' FRONT IS EXTENDED Haig's Troops Take Oyer Fu ther Section of the French Line. A despatch from London says: The continuation. of the British offensive along the Some front is impossible so long as the present weather lasts, Major.General Frederick B. Maurice, chief director of military operations of the War Office, so informed the As- sociated Press on Friday. "I told you some' time ago," he said "that our offensive would not cease during the Winter, but it must be ap- parent from the daily reports that no real battle has been offered in that sector since October. In the first place we underestimated the -effect of the shelling on the terrain: The country over which the advance will have to be made is thickly sprinkled with shell -holes filled with water. Also, never having held the sante line in any other Winter, we underestimated the effect of the fog in the valley of the Somme. • "There have been frequent frosts, not severe enough to harden the ground, but sufficient to, form fogs, making artillery observation fire prac- tically useless, and also preventing the drying of the ground. "The French arrived at the same decision, and transferred their atten- dee to Verdun, with results which You know. We may be able to resume in March, as we found the ground at Neuve Chapelle in fairly good shape in March, 1915, although it had been very bad during the Winter. Unable to continue the offensive for the pre- sent, we have done the next best thing. The taking over of a section of ,the French line has ]sept us busy during the past ten days. The operation has been successful, and I will be glad to' tell you the exact extent of the line taken over when I am sure the Ger- mans know the point of junction. "In Rumania the first Rumanian army, which has borne the brunt of the fighting, has been entirely with- drawn, and is now re-forming in Mol- davia, while its place has been taken by the Russians; In Dobrudja the line has been -moved back in alignment with the brittle -front north of the Danube. In this region both our al- lies and the enemy are suffering from adverse Weather conditions." , MAN -POWER INVENTORY i. PRODUCING RESULTS. t,.

Berlin Writer ' Describes Terror Caused in the First Attack. The following description of the terror created in the German ranks by the first appearance in action on the Western • Front of -the British "tanks," or armored auto war char- iots, is taken, from an article entitled "The Devil's Coach," written .f or ,the 'German press by a war correspondent named Dr. R. Dammert: • "When the German trench sentries crawled out of their holes in the ground in the mistydawn of the 15th of September, lifted their heads again after the heavy storm of iron during' the night and looked about for the English, their blood froze in their veins, "Across the field, cut up with gaping ,craters, crawled two myster- iousmonsters. Dazed by the earth- quake that 'had been raging about them, they all rubbed their eyes, which were rivetted upon the fabulous beings as though their owners were bereft of reason. Their imagination 'lashed into a frenzy bythe hail of shots, was still full of excitement. So it was. no wonder that it heldcontrol over these sorely -tired men who were well aware that the enemy was de- termined to_ use every means of de- struction to break through the steel - like wall formed of frail human bodies, "They had forgotten what it was to fear men. But Are was something drawing nearer that the human brain, with the use of extraordinary me- chanical powers, hacl fitted out like a work of the devil; a secret- that' op- pressed and fascinated the senses, be- cause reason failed to grasp it; a fate before which the men seen1ed helpless in their own eyes. "They stared and stared, like men stricken with paralysis. The mon- sters advanced slowly, hobbling, swaying, and bobbing about, but they were coming nearer. Nothing was able to stop them, they seemed to be driven ahead by a supernatural power. Then the "thought flashed through the head of some one in the trenches, 'The devil is coming,' and the word ran along the line like a flash of lightning. "Suddenly tongues of flame shot out of the armored backs of the iron caterpillars. Shells whistled over the men's heads and the dreadful music of a machine gun orchestra filled the air. The enigmatical being had re- vealed its secret e anda re sonr' eturned again." In the course of his story Dr. Dam- mert tells how the Germans soon learned how to meet the drives of the "tanks," and succeeded in putting Several of the armored monsters out of - commission, BRITISH COMMANDEER HOUSE. Famous Town Mansion Taken Over by Government. The British government has taken over. some of the biggest of London hotels for war work, but never -until now has it commandeered a famous tistoric mansion for such purposes. That, however, is what has happened to the Duke of Bucclauch's palatial London' residence, Montagu Ilouse, Whitehall, as an extension of the Min- istry of Munitions. A few weeks ago the family receiv- ed notice that this might be likely to lappen and now the Duke has'receiv- d :formal notice to quit. No portion f the house is to be reserved for the, Duke's personal use and the treasures 1 this great historic mansion are in process of removal to one of the ducal ountry seats.

A despntch from London says: The interest on debt created under the 1 war loans of 1914-15 amounted during e the financial year ended.

The -° total capital of the national debt, which on March 81, 1915, was £1.,104,- ° 067,075, had increased by March 31,1 1916, to £2,1.33,147,614, the statement tl shows. IA Her Ideal. I s We heard a young woman say ,yes- terday that her ideal man is one who ° is smart enough to make money and foolish enough to spend it. It doesn't make any difference hew rich a man is, there always conies a onto when. he has to borrow a match, THE FASHIONS 'The time rhos long sinte passed wlten'feshicns for misses were of sec- ondary importance In the sebomo of things. The fashioning of clothes for young` people now receives as much attention as those of their elders,. and aei'tain French designers have, of late, boen. specially: concentrating their ef- forts on. producing modes for young girls and small chilch'en. Whether for school, college or th various sale' and outdoor activities Which enter into the Lives of all' young ,people, we find' an unlimited variety of styles... At present, it distinct rela- tion is d 41 ct els,- tion between the styles for grown-ups and these reaching the grown-up •stage.. The,elim silhouette, to which women have 'taken with so much zeal, is 1'ofiected in misses' styles, and ser- tainly there is nothing more befitting the slender grace of youthful figures than the modes which now prevail. In one-piece style are the majority of dresses, whether they are • to be slipped on over the head or closed at the center -front or back,- Especially becoming are those that hang from a deep, square yoke, and of these there are many varieties, for below the yoke the -material may be side -pleated, box -pleated with 'groups of large or small pleats, or just simply gathered. To define the waistline, a loather belt, a regulation cloth belt or l long, nar- row girdle is considered correct with this type of frock. The belt being. such an important factor, then, it is not surprising to find many novelties in that line, One of the latest is a belt which starts out by being wide in 'front, but finally becomes divided' into two narrow' strips at the sides and back. ,The upper halves fasten at the back 'and the lower hal- ves are knotted loosely and hang down the back. Exceedingly attractive, also, are the pockets which give added charm to 'these dresses. Pointed, square, draped, gathered or plain, they appear in every conceivable form. For practical wear, the young girl wears dresses of the popular wools, such as serge, garbardine, velours, broadcloth, checks and plaids.

Here is where agriculture ;concerned, for as an artificial ea food palm kernel cake has been lit used in the past.'. With the'aim testing whether the farmers' obj y` tions to the cal:;e were insuperable not, Professor Crowther has c ducted certain experiments, on farm, and in the laboratory, with gard to the keeping qualities and digestibility of the cake. So far as the keeping pl'opert are concerned' the results of the vestigation showed that during period of six months, the palm-ke cake kept just as well as other cal and better than some, and at the e of the period it was quite good a souncl. On analysis, the oil in all th cakes had become acid, but the. pal kernel variety was no exception, was, at any rate, only inferior to linseed and soya calces, and was bed than than'cotton cake and soycot. T opinion, ther'efor'e, is held that and ordinary conditions palm -kernel ca as produced to -day will keep as w as ordinary cakes. On the'basis results obtained, it was comput that palm -kernel meal was worth per cent. more per ton than the co ton cake with which they were co pared. The cake could be eaten wi out difficulty, it was found, when mi ed with other cake. Tests directed at ascertaining wh ther the cake would improve the qua tity and quality of milk bore out, far as they went, the investigations German agriculturists, that such a improvement did result from the u of the cake. t ore ver cps the ish tion ure for The 0w - df urg ish is the tle of ee- or on - the re - he © 510045,1 7546 One -Piece Box -Pleated Dress for Misses is little trimming on these frocks; per- haps a touch of bead or wool embroid- ery, a contrasting collar, soutache braid, or flat braid applied in rows.
