COUNTY CEfEBRATION OF ODD FELLOWS ON APRIL 26, A BIG EVENT ALLIED FORCES ARE KEEPING GERMAN FORCES BUSY ON FIFTY MILE FRONI APRIL VERY EVENTFUL IN WORLD'S HISTORY; EVENTS IS RECALLED PEOPLE ARE ASKED 10 BE COLLECTED Official Reports Show That General Haig is Still Advancing North and East of Vimy Ridge-Heavy Offensive Resumed North ' and South of St. Quentin Raiding Parties Are Busy ONE MILE OF THE HINDENBURG LINE TAKEN BY THE BRITISH r Has Been Introduced in Congress Railroad, Telephone and Telegraph Lines in Time of War and to Draft I fie Employes of the Companies for Military Defence Defensive Areas Are Created (By Perry Arnold). NEW YORK, April 13. The allied forces are keeping the Germans busy on a 50-mile front. One mile of the llindenluirg line has been captured. Official reports showed that General Haig is still advancing north and east of Vimy ridge. He struck a sud den and vigorous blow below Cambrai. General Nivelle has re v sumed a heavy offensive movement north and south of St. Quentin, the northern drive being on a new front. General llaig reported big advances and the Paris statement indicated that the new drive of General Nivelle was a decided success. General Haig's report indicated new center fighting a considerable distance north of Vimy, near Loos. The combat is apparently between raiding par ties, but it may indicate an extension of the offensive movements. Desperation stalks behind the German lines. Prisoners are forced to dig trenches, and reinforcements are being immediately sought. The British airmen are sweeping the sky clear of Germans. The Bavarian prisoners bitterly denounce the Germans, and the Ger man chiefs are scraping all possible men together to oppose the allies- CONGRESS STUDIES WAR MEASURES. WASHINGTON, April 13. Congress is studying war meas ures. Chairman Adamson, of the House interstate commerce committee, introduced a bill giving the President power to seize all railroads, telegraph and telephone lines in time of war, and to draft the employes of the companies for military service. The measure enlarges the Interstate Commerce Commission to eleven members, and has been approved by the President. Heavy penal ties are named for interference with United States mails and in I terstate commerce in time of war. The House is spending the day in a discussion of the $7,000,000,000 bond bill which it is expected will pass tomorrow, although the debate is unrestricted. ;-t A committee of distillers have proposed a voluntary restric tion rf tl-ii moniifr.itin'o nf llmim Hiii'ino fli,. win' Plfino in m.ii.o the seized German and Austrian ships part of the American mer- chant marine wTere discussed at a conference between Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Chairman Denman, of the Federal shipping board.

The Austrian minister has formally requested his passports, stating his government's inten tion of supporting its ally, Germany, in the Brazilian break. The demand of the people for war with Germany is undiminished. Deserters of the army are reported in several cities because of the delay of the government in declaring war. SUBMARINE REPORTS ARE DENIED. HAVANA, April 13. Cuban authorities deny reports of German submarines on both sides of Cuba. The story of the sinking of a British windjammer off Cienfugos is declared un founded, and the report by passengers on a steamer between Key West and Havana that a submarine was sighted is ridiculed.

Jarvis ,on Cuss street, and asked to buy a hat. Mr. Jarvis brought out the article requested and was showing it lo the gentleman, when he asked if he recognized him. Mr. Jarvis was very much surprised, but soon found out that the man was his cousin, Walter Mcltoberts, whom he had not seen for 30 years. The last time they met was in Alpine, North Dakota, where they were boys to gether and playing on the water tanks near the railroad tracks.

It has been suggested that all va mnt lots in the community bo put under cultivation to provide food tor home consumption and help to consvrve the National food supply upon which the war conditions will make a great demand. There are many vacant lots here that could be put into gardens that at present are not In use. Mayor Napoleon Kice announced today that the city would give all help possible to those wish ing to secure and cultivate these lots for garden purposes. No time should be lost In this work as it is getting late in the season and the ground should be put into condition ;it once. Several Ideas have been discussed by local citizens and thero are many who are lnterenled in this Important work. Kveryone can do their part in helping this country to win tho war and reducing the hardships that will fall upon the people.

It was Ills Idea that Ihe people of this city organize a patriotic, gardening club and put It on a practical basis. "We should at . least raise enough for our home supply," said Mr. Kddy, "and I would advise the planting ot stnple products such as beans, po tatoes, pons and rorn, lor which there will be a great demand on ac count of the war. Kvery family should have their own garden and spend their leisure hours in culti vating rood for home supply. There needs to be no waste, for thoRO pro ducts that cannot hi used can he put up for winter. A cunning chili could be organized in connection wllh the gardens and give the movement edu cational value." Mayor Itico said that he was vary :inxltius to see all the vacant ground In use and announced that the city would help as much as possible wilh I lie work. "Wo have had several promises of ground for the purpose," he mated, "and the city is willing to plow the laud for those who are un able to do it for themselves. Noth ing would suit me better than to seo the bile lots growing something be sides weeds and many unsightly back yards turned Into gardens.
