Allies Ready for the Big
German Offensive
LONDON', Feb. 13. Although the weather is good
and' the terraue is fast drying out, and the Teutonic Allies
are pouring thousands of men to positions behind the bat
tle lines, there is still no indications of the enemy's much
advertised offensive. ,
Bombardments and patrol encounters take place along
the entire front.
The Allied commanders are strengthening their posi
tions in readiness for any emergency, and optimism is
expressed from .both British and French sources.
The Associated Press correspondent with the French
headquarters says that French authorities consider that
the total number of the enemy fowes facing the British,
'French, Belgian and American lines aggregate 2,310,000
men. A recent statement of the British military authori
ties was to the effect that the preponderance of man power
and guns was with the entente armies.
Several additional successful raids wore made by the
British in which German officers' and men. were captured
and others killed. Heavy artillery fire between the French
and Germans in various sectors sum up the progress on
the western front.
American sharpshooters and artillery keep up their
good work against the Germans in front of their lines.
Shrapnel fire has almost forced the enemy out of their
first-line trenches, while the sharpshooters and machine
guns have forced the enemy snipers to quit their positions
and seek safety. German aeroplanes continue to fly over
the American positions to obtain information as to the
'number of nn'ii and how arranged.
Nineteen British merchantmen and four Italian vessels
were sunk last week by submarines, and another Spanish
steamer, the Cal ferino, was sunk. Feeling in Spain against
Germany over the destruction of two other Spanish ves
sels is great and it is believed that the Spanish govern
ment will send another strong protest to Berlin.

Heatless Mondays are Ended
WASHINGTON', Feb. J3. Suspension of the "heat
less Mondays" was ordered by Fuel Administrator Gar
field, with the proviso that they may be put back again
before1 the ten weeks' period expires if there is a return
of bad weather and if railroad transportation again breaks
down. Dr. Garfield said that the state fuel administrators
would have full authority to resume the closing order if
condit ions in the territory under their jurisdiction demand
it. The "heatless Mondays" were declared on January
17, and four have been observed in all states east of the
Mississippi, except those south of Virginia. The closing
order was lifted in the South last week.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1 a Wilt II. Kays of Indiana, the
new Republican' national chairman, will be given ii free
hand to restoring harmony in the Republican party for
the attack on the Democratic citadel, according to the
weary committeemen who rested from their labors tonight.
Tin; resignations of the executive committee were tendered
the new- party leader. A. T. Hart of Kentucky said that
from what he knew of the energy of the new chairman,
it would not be long before the committee was called to
gether again to act in securing the new executive commit
tee. Recommendations that the old executive committee
ca'll an advisory committee of women and continue the old
Hughes campaign committee were ignored, so as not to
hind Mr. Hays in any way as to choosing his staff.

sakes of ancient uesiqn,
With a minqlinq of feelinas
of pleasure, and pain,
I chanced on an old Valentine.
And I see the gentle upturned face,
With its frank Hue eyes and its

As she blushinghj curled her sweet
lips and said
She would lo "my true Yalcn-
But along with the years that Kav
passed since then.
And the varying fortunes and
failures of life.
Comes the proof that the future is

Bui with manifold changes is rife.
For we drew apart though I loved

And she married a man more
worthy of her,
Who had wealth and refinement and
learning profound
And all that a queen might prefer.
