President Wilson has pardoned two
soldiers of the American expeditionary

U Sullivan, and demonstrator of the

As many millions of men as may
be needed to win the war will.be sent
to the battle front, Secretary of the

New York and put in Jail. One of
his'chief purposes in this country is
said to have been to induce Irishmen

flatly denies that he is in any way
connected with the Germans.

"Whatever the money total,” says
a' treasury statement, “tbe loan just
closed probably is the most success¬
ful ever floated by any nation. The
marvelous distribution of third Lib¬
erty Loan indicates that one out of
every six persons in the United States
may have participated in this loan.”
Secretary McAdoo, in a statement
thanking the nation for its support
of the third loan, says the widespread
distribution of bonds "is particularly
gratifying. This is the soundest form
of national war finance—the distribu¬
tion of the loan among the people
themselves."
Every ton of steel and pig iron in
the country virtually has been com¬
mandeered by the government for war
purposes, and any surplus remaining

in a fortness near Prague, of tubercu¬

Blanket authority for the president
to increase the army to whatever size
may be necessary to win the war, is
proposed to the house military com¬
mute by Secretary of War Baker Ma¬
jor Greneral March and Provost. Mar¬
shal Crowder. An administrative
measure amending the selective draft
act to provide for this grant of power
will be prepared immediately and
prompt action on it is asked.
Secretark Bal er says it is unwise
to set any limit on the number of
men who may be called to the colors,
and that the president should be grant¬
ed complete discretionary authority to
increase the size of the army as rap¬
idly as transportation and equipment
facilities may warrant.
Secretary of War Baker says the
army appropriation bill should provide
for approximately three million men,
but this should not be accepted as
any fixed limit to the number of men
to be called within the year 1918.
A nation wide round-up of regis¬
trants escaping military service by
unfair classification has been ordered
by Provost Marshal General Crowder.
The number of men who have sudden¬
ly become “skilled farmers" and “in¬
dispensable government workers" has
drawn the searching eye of the war
department to the situation.
European.
Over the battle lines along the Have
river and in the mountainous region
in northern Italy, where the forces
have been holding their positions since
last November after the great Italian
retreat from the Isonzo, there is in¬
creased tension and the long-threat¬
ened blow at this front may be launch¬
ed by the Teutonic allies within a few'
days.
Emperor Charles of Austria, accom¬
panied by his chief of staff and high
German and Austrian army officers,
is reported to have arrived at the Ital¬
ian front, and the great movement of
troops in Tyrol and Trentino would
seem to indicate that vast bodies of
men are being taken from other fronts
to be hurled at the Italian positions.
Field Marshal Viscount French has
been appointed lord lieutenant of Ire¬
land. He succeeds Baron Wimborne,
who was appointed lord lieutenant of
Ireland in 1915 and reappointed the
following August to that post after
the Dublin revolt. Lord Wimborne
was absolved from all responsibility
for the uprising of the Sinn Feiners.
The blow the central powers will
strike at Italy will probably fall in
the mountainous section of the front
in the Largarino and Atsieo valleys.
These sectors fRce north and if they
are broken will permit the foe to pen¬
etrate into the lower foothills of the
mountains or even reach the plains,
which would compel the Italians to re¬
treat and entail the loss of Venice and
a vast expanse of country to the en¬
emy.
Some military experts in neutral
countries opine that the Germans may
make an attempt to cut straight
through the allied lines in an effort
to reach Paris and the channel ports,
believing that by so doing they will
strike terror to the French heart.
An English military authority esti¬
mates that the number of Germans
killed and captured since March 21 is
nine hundred thousand.
Germany’s barbarous treatment of
the inhabitants of occupied territories
and constant requisitioning of food are
provoking great resentment and caus¬
ing armed clashes, in a village in the
Kiev district the inhabitants resisted
and the Germans subdued them with
armored cars.
A report has it that in the govern¬
ment of Minsk, Russia, the Germans
are seizing able-bodied men and send¬
ing them to Germany in locked cars.
The streets in the towns and cities
of Russia are armed with patrols of
German troops and machine guns ev¬
erywhere.
Charges and intimations of irregu¬
larities in connection with the aircraft
program which have been published
and discussed in capitol cloakrooms
for some time have been brought to
the floor of the senate with demands
for a new investigation with a view
to criminal prosecution.
The critics all agree that Ger¬
many is still pursuing the same tactics
of trying to whip her enemies one at
a time.
Senator Hitchcock says the aircraft
board has been “playing a gigantic
confidence game on the whole coun
try.”

HERMANS SHELL
AMERICAN LINES
MUSTARD GAS MISSILES WERE
SENT OVER IN DELUGE
AT MIDNIGHT
ANOTHER DRIVE EXPECTED
Attack May Be Launched at Ypres, Ar¬
ras And Amiens Sector At
Same Time
New York.—American troops on the
French front not far from Montdidier
have been under a storm of shells for
some time, projectiles containing high
explosives being mingled with those
charged with poisonous gas fired into
the lines held by General Pershing’3
men.
Australian and Canadian troops are
in action on the British lines along the
vital sectors of the battle front in
France.
The Australians have struck the
Germans near Morlancourt, between
the Ancre and Somme rivers, east of
Amiens, and have advanced their lines
upward of three-quarters of a mile, as
a result of two assaults on the Teu¬
tonic positions.
The Canadians have apepared in the
Arras sector, farther south than they
have been since tbe battles in this
region began March 21. This part of
the line is most important, as it de¬
fends Arras to the southwest and in¬
cludes localities such as Neuville
Vitasse, Mercatel and Boisleux-St.
Mare, where there have been bitter
struggles since the Germans launched
their great offensive.
Aloag the remainder of the front in
France there have been no engage¬
ments of unusual character, nor has
the Italian front been attacked as yet
by the Austrians, who have assembled
there.
Heavy Fighting Expected
From the official reports and dis¬
filed by correspondents at the
front there come intimations that
heavy fighting may be resumed at any
time. The fact that heavy rains are
falling may have a great deal to do
the delay in the German drive,
but the allies hold high ground from
which they can observe the German
and have kept up a heavy
artillery fire in sectors where the Ger¬
mans have been assembling or have
at work in bringing up guns for
the battle which is virtually certain to

LAST ON DRAFT LIST
Senate And House Conferees So De.
cide Despite Protest Of
General Crowder
Washington.—An agreement on (he
bill extending the selective draft law
to youths attaining 21 years of age
since June 5, 1917, was reached by the
senate and house conferees. They re¬
tained the amendment of Representa¬
tive Hull of Iowa, providing that the
additional registrants shall be placed
at the bottom of present eligible lists.
The house conferees accepted the
senate provision for exemption from
the draft law of theological and medi¬
cal students.
Immediate ratification by the senate
and house of the conferees agreement
on the measure will be sought, that
there may be no further delay in its
use in connection with the new draft.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
opposed the amendment placing the
new registrants at the bottom of eligi¬
ble lists.
The conferees also adopted an
amendment which General Crowder
also opposed, requiring registration of
men already in the military service
who have attained their majority since
last June 5. General Crowder thinks
this would be unnecessary, costly
Claimed Some Americans Not Loyal
Washington.—There are hundreds of
Americans in Germany who are not
loyal to the United States and would
be a menace to this country if they
returned, Representative Flood cf Vir¬
ginia said in the house. Flood made
his statement in answer to Represen
tative Sisson of,Mississippi and Repre¬
sentative Connoly of Texas, who ob
jected to the provision in the Flood
bill prohibiting Americans from return¬
ing home without a passport.
BolshevikI Asks Recall of Consul
Moscow, Russia.—Bolsheviki de¬
mands that the American and French
consuls at Vladivostok be recalled
have brouhgt no official statement
from Ambassador Francis and French
Ambassador Noulens. The definite de¬
mands made by Foreign Minister Tchit
cherin were coincident with the arriv¬
al of Count von Mirbach, the German
ambassador in Moscow. Regardless of
the strong pressure put on the entente
embassies to recognize the soviet gov¬
ernment, the position of the embassies
remains unchanged.

apple, leaves of aloe and jalap. This
is commonly sold by all druggists as
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, and
should be taken at least once a week to
clear the twenty-five feet of intestines.
You will thus clean the system—expel
■ the poisons and keep well. Now is
the time to clean house. Give yourself
a spring house cleaning.—Adv.

Spoiled His Evening.
“Isn't it glorious here?” she ex¬
claimed when the waiter had taken
their orders.
“Do you think so?” he replied.
“It’s perfectly lovely. Everything is
in such beautiful harmony—the foun¬
tain, the trees, the swaying lanterns,
the music—everything is ideal. It’s
like fairyland.”
“I’m glad yon like it."
“I'm simply enchanted. Doesn’t It
make you feel as if you had stepped
out of the everyday world Into some¬
thing strange and new?”
“Not a bit.”
“What’s the matter? You don’t seem
to be enjoying yourself.”
“My boss is sitting at the third ta¬
ble over there to your left, and I can
tell by his look that he's wondering
how I can afford to blow myself at
a place like this.”—Dayton News.
