German sol diers captured by General l'cishiug'g furccs are being held in .France pending decision as to their disposition. Hint they should bo brought here is the feeling m army quarters but wheth er this will be accomplished depends largely on what ueneral derailing recom- melius and on what uernuuiy says in negotiations now pending. England and France have had to keep Ucrmaus in France and Juiglaud lest Germany send allied prisoners to Turkey whom they might suffer from Turk abuse. Whether the United States nego tiations, undertaken with Spain as in termediary, can persuade Germany to permit return of Teuton prisoners to tlio Luitcd fotates without lacing retalia tions is unknown yet. Army men suggest that they would be available for xarin and other labor but admit Germany will perhaps insist they be kept in Franco so tlmt a cer tain amount of tonnage shall be used in supplying them. Prison camps at Forts McPhersou, Oglethorpe and Douglas can be readily arranged for. 10,000 to 15,000 prisoners each. At present the camps contain more than 2,000 Teutons not including in terned German sailors. GERMANY HAS LESS (Oontinuod from page one) way back to their own country. Thousands have died in prison camps, more than 4,000 graves being located at Brandenburg alone, while others im- STUMEZE STOMACH TROUBLE RE LIEVED BY FIRST DOSE "I was bothered with nervous dys pepsia and chronic stomach trouble to badly the doctors could not give me any relief.

I Jackson, who enlisted last week in the mavy writes friends here that he is enjoying life, although he happens to be spending the customary 21 days in the medical detention camp at Fu get Sound. Aa sown as recruits for the navy are received, they are placed in the detention camp for three weeks to prevent their bringing any codtagious diseases into the services. Mr; Jackson writes in part:. "I (thought I would drop you a line to let you know how we are getting along.

(T'nited Press staff correspondent) ' With the British Armies in Fland ers, April 18. Through rain squalls and a cutting northeaster, the Germdfes kept up their pressure on the Lyg front today. Evidence of the importance ninden bnrg attaches to the hills southwest of Ypres is shown in the presence of the 110th and 11th Bavarian corps and Al pine corps in the sector from Mt. Kim moll to Bailloul (a front of three miles.) Every man of these units is from German hill eountry and Von Bernhardt who is in command from Wytscheate to Bailluel is known as a hill fighter. Th"c assault south of the Nieppe for est reveals the necessity -for the Ger mans enlarging the salient of the main enemy, thrust toward Hazebrouck. Prisoners declare the cross fire of the British guns created a bulge in the salient before St. Venant, inflicting heavy casualties there.

General Pershing today re ceived a la ter from General Rawlin son, commander of the British Fifth army, in which the latter declared it was largely duo to the assistance of American engineers that the British army was able- to check .the Germans in I'icardy. "The army commander wishes to re cord officially his appreciation of the excellent work of your regiment in as sisting the British army to resist the enemy's powerful offensive. It was largely due to this .that the enemy was checked. We rely upon you to assist uj still further. Best congratulations and warm thanks to you, all.

The fact is, and I know what I am talking about, there has been inexcusable delav in ship building in this country, by those who: want to profiteer and get a fortune over j night, and bv those on the other hand , who WANT TO HOLD UP THEIR EM PLOYERS AND THE GOVERNMENT that they likewise could get rich in a day. Would to God that the government of this country could develop over night machinery such that every profiteer could be forced to the front and put jin the trenches." We are willing to leave it with an in telligent public as to what Dr. Kerr was 'talking about aud which newspaper mis represented him.

General Foch has the necessary number of men but if this were done, Hindenbiirg might well shift his attack toward Amiens or he might again try to break through the! line in the direction of Paris. General Foch 's use of his authority thus far has been highly reassuring. He has saved Amiens and in the north Hindenburg is still vainly slaughter ing Gerfnan man power before the d fenscs of Ypres and Hazebrouck. Foch's plan can be trusted to worl out as long as the allies' morale hold steady. WHEAT IN FARMERS' (Continued from page one) HOT IN EUREKA Eureka, Cal., April 19.

The British probably have establish ed their new linos along the western bank of tho Stocnbeck and tho Haane beck. This would bring them to within three miles and a half of Ypres on the east, and five miles and a half on the north. Tho retirement is much smaller, therefore, than at first believed. The average distance tallen back unuouDt- edly was less than two miles. Situation Unchanged Lrindon, April 19. While the Brit ish, aided by French reserves, are hold ing the Germans on the Flanders front, the French have gained ground along the Avre, southeast of Amiens, by a heavy counter attack on a front of more than two milis. This attack, tho French communique said, carried the French to the outskirts of Castel. Haig's night report described "se vere fighting on the greater part of the Lys front " Enemy attacks' we.-e repulsed from the LaKassce canal to Givenchy and east of St. Venant.

"HE THAT BLOWETH NOT HIS OWN HORK MSAME SHALL NOT BE BLOWN" I make my own ballyhoos and pay for them with cash. I have no cappers to shill for me in the by ways of society. Mine is a simple open and shut, proposition. You know whether your teeth ache, are in poor repair, have unsightly spaces, or sore, tender, bleeding gums between them. - I know that specialists, skill, know-how and the Painless Parker System of dentistry will relieve your troubles. The only one that can prevent your benefitting from my services is you. Let's reason it out. You want relief.- I want your patronage. We both lose by putting off, so I mrow overboard the old time ideas of professional aloofness, and instead thereof, invite your attention to my services. Get this: If you observe other people's defective teeth, be sure your own won't go unnoticed. If you secretly deride other people's looks because of their stained or missing teeth, donT forget you may be criticised likewise for conditions quite as repellant to beholders. , The mirror pays no compliments---hides no de fectscovers no' imperfections, never flatters. You can deceive yourself as to your looks, but you can't fool the mirror. If you have defective teeth unfavorably affecting vour appearance repaired you'll please yourself and . reflect improved looks into the bargain. It costs money, trouble and--teeth, to put off dental work from day to day aiid no one suffers for it but yourself. There are thirty-two good reasons for saving your ' eeth and you should carry them all in your mouth. Good digestion and good health wait on appetite, and appetite is assisted good, teeth. Good teeth are the first thing noted when you face a stranger. If you are in business they affect "the front you put up" either' favorably or unfavorably. First im pressions are hard to overcome. . I can tell you of my methods of dentistry, but you cannot realize their benefits, unless you try me out, for I do not conduct a correspondence school in pain less dentistry, nor do I perform absent treatment. It's up to you. I invite your critical investigation. The more people there are who know about me and my system of standardized dentistry by ' skilled specialists, the better it is for me. An examination and estimate cost you nothing and invite no obliga tion to have work done. Skill, courtesy, promptness, know-how, painless work, moderate fees make a' combination ideal and hard to excel. There is no tin e like NOW. Prompt attention any day 8:.'0 to 6:: 50. Closed Sundays..
