Will Be Given Jobs Away From the
Firing Line.
By Associated Press.
Washington, March 22.—President
Wilson directed that conscientious ob-
jectors, drafted into the national army
who are unwilling to accept noncom-
batant service as provided in the draft
law, shall in extreme cases be con-
fined in disciplinary barracks, but
when they do not actually disobey a
command shall be held for whatever
disposition the secretary of war may
make of their cases.
Each such objector, is to be given
the benefit of a full explanation of the
law by a “tactful and considerate of-
ficer,” and will be given the choice of
a wide range of activities. In accord-
ance with the president’s order the sec-
retary of war will revise sentences of
courts-martial heretofore held of per-
sons who come within the conscientious
objectors clause and judgments at va-
riance with the order will be changed.
Objectors who have no preference
will be assigned to the medical corps,
but they may serve in the quartermas-
ter department, all branches of which
are considered noncombatant, in any
engineer work in the United States or
in the rear of the zone of operations
abroad. The last department includes
work on auxiliary defenses, wharves,
docks, supply depot services and other
activities requiring thousands of men.
Any man who is drafted but fails
to report, because of alleged conscien-
tious scruples, will be treated as a de-
serter.
Talk On Effective Business Methods
Attracts Many.
“The Troubles of a Merchant and
How to Stop Them” was the subject
of an interesting and entertaining lec-
ture, illustrated with moving pictures
and stereopticon views, delivered by
G. W. Sullenberger of Dayton, Ohio, at
the Y. M. C. A. last night.
Mr. Sullenberger told of the vari-
our methods used in business today,
the practical ones, and those that were
apt to result in failure. He explained
that in order to be successful the prop-
er arrangement of stocks was neces-
sary, and the conducting of the dif-
ferent departments in a systematic
manner, efficiency among clerks, and
attractive window displays.
Following the lecture a short talk on
food conservation was made by W. A.
Milne, director of the speakers’ bu-
reau of the United States food admin-
istration, who spoke at Hotel Galvez
yesterday afternoon.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat-
ural color dates back to grandmoth-
er’s time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attract-
ive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixutre was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drugstore for a bottle of "Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you get
this famous old preparation, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
which can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the®hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears, ’ and ’after another ap-
plication or two, it becomes beautifully
dark and glossy.

pound is a delightful toilet requisite

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush-
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous-
ness, dizziness, sleeplessness and uri-
nary disorders come from sluggish kid-
neys.
‘ The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at-
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in a few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate the kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.—- (Adv.) »
Don’t Stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any-

By Associated Press.
With the American Army in France,
Thursday, March 21.—Enemy first and
second line positions on a part of the
sector ‘east of Luneville have been de-
stroyed completely by American artil-
lery fire. After the raid into the Ger-
man positions last night the American
gunners shelled the positions heavily
all night and this morning.
Today a patrol without assistance
from the artillery crossed No Man’s
Land and found that the first and sec-
ond lines had been wiped out.
The patrol also obtained additional
information and returned without
casualties, the Germans apparently
having decided not to molest them.
Artillery fighting by both sides on
this sector continued all day.
On the sector northwest of Toul a
number of Germans deserted last night
and surrendered to an American patrol
in a certain wood. The Germans ap-
proached the Americans shouting,
“Don’t shoot!”
The prisoners were turned over to
the French. Much information of
value was obtained-from the deserters,
who said they were “fed up” with the
war and decided they would rather be
prisoners. Included in the informa-
tion obtained from the men was the
statement that during the gas projec-
tor attack against the American lines
on .Feb. 27 nine hundred projectors
were employed. One-half of the
projectiles fired fell within the Ger-
man lines and the gas overcame many
of the Germans. The next day, ac-
cording to the deserters, eleven Ger-
mans were killed and thirty wounded
while taking out the dead.
American intelligence officers are in-
clined to doubt the story regarding the
nine hundred projectors. American in-
formation is that only seventy-five
were used.
An American patrol last night en-
tered the enemy first line and remained
there six hours, but did not see any of
the enemy. It is reported that the
Germans recently had constructed
trenches that are concrete half way
up inside.
Great activity continues behind the
enemy lines. Within' the last four
days a number of rock crushers and
concrete mixers have been brought up
and there are signs that the Germans
intend to construct a number of new
pill boxes over the American front.
Several trains of material have ar-
rived at towns in the German lines
during the last twenty-four hours.
Today’s reports say that three Ger-
man airplanes flew over various parts
of the American front line at daybreak
and fired their machine guns on our
positions. Their efforts, however,
were without result.

At a meeting held in the clubrooms
of the Young Men’s Hebrew associa-
tion last night the first steps for the
formation of an indoor baseball league
were taken. The officers, as elected,
were: J. R. Nierman, president; Wil-
liam Stollmack, vice president, and
Sam Perl, secretary and treasurer. For
the present only three teams, with Sam
Houser leading one, J. R. Nierman an-
other and R. G. Kory the third were
named. The names of the players on
the the various teams will be an-
nounced later.
The first game will be played next

tgic advantages. It was thought here
early today that the Germans were
seeking to restore their old lines in
preparation for possibly more exten-
sive operations later. As reports indi-
cated a movement of wide scope to-
day, however, this view was aban-
doned.
One thought occurred to all officers
here. If this is indeed the great Ger-
man offensive the supreme military
council at Versailles has had ample
time and notice to perfect plans to
meet it. It has been officially indi-
cated already that the general re-
serve, composed of surplus troops of
all the allied armies and probably in-
eluding a very heavy proportion of
big guns, has been placed under the
authority of the Versailles council. The
plans of that body have contemplated
an assault on any part of the line in
France, and a co-ordinated scheme for
massing men and guns at any certain
point is believed to have been worked
out. This means that even were the
standard three-line defense on the Brit-
ish front forced back by the Germans,
additional armies would be available
immediately to block their further
progress.

Washington, March 22.—The first act
of Director General McAdoo, after
President Wilson signed the railroad
bill which provides a $500,000,000 re-
volving fund and prescribes a basis of
compensation during the federal opera-
. on, was to issue an order restricting
railroads’ capital expenditures to ex-
tension and betterments essential un-
der war conditions. As the govern-
ment has undertaken the financing
of improvements and purchase of new
equipment the order will safeguard the
working fund.
The signing of the bill opens the
way for the railroad administration
to proceed with necessary extensions.
One of the first results probably will
be an arrangement by which the gov-
ernment will participate in the meet-
ing of forty-three million dollars notes
of the New York, New Haven and Hart-
ford railroad due April 15.
Without waiting for the railroad bill
to receive the president’s approval, Mr.
McAdoo had created a division of capi-
tal expenditures headed by Robert S.
Lovett, former director of priorities
for the war industries board, to super-
vise additions and betterments.
The railroad administration is ex-
pected to encourage railroads to float
security issues without government aid
whenever possible; but in many cases
securities of this nature will be pur-
chased by the government.

Washington, March 22.—Even word
from London that the drive launched
Thursday by the Germans on the West
front is on a larger scale than any
undertaken there since the war began
has failed to convince American mili-
tary observers that the long-heralded
German offensive is at hand. They are
waiting for the full scope of the ene-
my action against both British and
French fronts to be made clear, and
still believe that the logic of the sit-
uation points away from a German of-
fensive in the West at this time.
There was a distinct feeling that the
tumult of the German guns might
cloak some other purpose than commit
the issue of the war to desperate on-
slaughts against the all but impreg-
nable allied lines in the West. Supreme
confidence in the power of these lines
to resist the shock characterized the
expressions of all officials here.
Some high army officers, heretofore
confident that the German position on
all fronts made a defensive attitude
in the West almost mandatory, viewed
with eagerness , the possibility that a
great thrust at Paris or the channel
ports had been actually set in motion.
They believed only some internal pres-
sure that would not brook wise counsel
could force the general staff to risk
such a venture. They believed, too, that
a German assault in the West now
would bring the ultimate triumph of
the allied cause close, because the re-
sisting power of the allied armies is
unshakable. )
“If this is in fact a German drive,”
said one general officer, “I will look
upon it as the most hopeful sign in
the war thus far. Defeat of the move-
ment is certain.
“But I cannot believe that it is a
real drive. Every requirement of rea-
son would direct the Germans to press
their exploitation of Russia’s resources
and Russia’s manpower to the limit
while they held the West front locked
against our efforts.”
Reports from Holland that a peace
offer had been made semiofficially to
the entente by Germany caught imme-
diate attention. There was nothing at
the state department to confirm the
report, but some observers saw the
possibility that, the menace of the
German guns had been turned loose
to play a thunderging preluge to such
an offer for the effect upon the French
and British people.
Others saw possible significance in
the fact that the German onslaught
comes quick on the heels of the ac-
quisition of Dutch shipping by the
United States and the allies. It was
noted that the war college statement
of this week had predicted that no
German offensive in the West is to
be expected, unless forced by the gen-
eral strategic situation. There was
speculation as to whether the incident
of the Dutch ships might not have cre-
ated a motive for the drive.
The purpose might be, it was said,
to overawe European neutrals or it
might be that realization that the sub-
marine campaign had failed to block
the movement of American troops to
France led to resort to a desperate
effort to reach the channel ports.
From a purely military standpoint
the launching of an offensive this early
in the year is an innovation in the
war. Experience would indicate that
the ground is as yet too soft with the
winter rains for extensive troop and
transport movements necessitated in
pressing home a great thrust. The
spring appears to be early in Europe,
however, and the German experts have
certainly gauged every factor before
undertaking extensive operations.
The situation at Cambrai has af-
fected the security of the German lines
ever since the surprise assault by the
allise last year gave them certain stra-
