Bee RETREAT IS BAIT OF ALLIES' TRAP, SAYS DR. CESTRE t ' French Counter Attack, is Fore A runner of Return Drive, French Professor in Omaha Declares. fhe Thursday counter-attack, in which the French gained two miles on a six-mile front, is looked upon as the beginning of a great counter offen sive of the Fench and British armies, by Dr. Charles Cestre of the University of Lyons, France, who spoke at the Omaha Chamber of Com merce at noon. Dr. Gestre has watched the great German offensive carefully since i began, anil he is confident the French and Briti:h will hold the line until the German rush has spent its fury. Then they will counter-attack, gain all that they have lost, and, perhaps, even gain some additional territory, he believes. "There is no doubt the British and French have been retreating for strategic reasons," said the doctor, "to lure the Germans into a trap and at the same time save their own men. The French and British do not wish to sacrifice lives, as the Germans are willing to do, and the result of these retreats in good order is that the allies conserve their man power and at the same time kill tremendous num bers of the enemy. Childish Strategy. "The attack in great masses which the Germans are making is, after all, a childish method, the least strategi cal method, and the strategy which requires the least brains.- It is costly and will tell on them in the end. "The fact that the Germans made the big drive at this time and were willing to make such enormous sac rifices proves very clearl.; two things first, that they recognize their submarine warfare is not going to be successful, and second, that they fear the coming of Americans. Their pro fessed contempt of the Americans is disproven by the fact that they now find it necessary to attempt this big drive in the hope of forcing a peace before the Americans can get on the ground i.. great numbers. "I have every confidence that the Enpiish iind French will hold them here, and then when the Americans come with 1,500,000 or 2,000,00(1 men the grand offensive of the allies is toming." France Demands Alsace. Speaking of Alsace-Lorraine, Dr. Cestre said the French would of course insist on getting this territory back. "It is not a mere matter of getting a little piece of land," he said, - "but a matter of establishing the in " ternatioi.al morals of nations. Presi dent Wilson included the recession of Alsace-Lorraine to France in his famous 14 conditions on which peace could be made acceptable, and that document of the 14 conditions for the first time defined the war aims of all the nations fighting Germany. It was the first document to which they could all subscribe." Dr. Cestre says it is ridiculous to look for the end of the war now, even when the big German offensive fails. "No, no, the end will not yet come," he said. "It will come only, after the Americans get over there in great numbers, and when the big allied offensive comes next year." f Movie Stars Will Visit the City on Night of April 3 , Mary Pickford, Charley Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks will make rear platform speeches at the Union Ration in Omaha at 9:55 the night of wipril 3. They will be on their way from Los Angeles to Washington on a Union Pacific train. The train will be held 30 minutes for their speeches. The three celebrities will arrive in Washington Saturday, April 6, for the opening of the Liberty loan cam paign. From thence Charlie Chaplin will tour the south, Miss Pickford the east and Fairbanks will work west. The Nebraska Liberty loan commit tee is trying to get Fairbanks for a series of talks through the state be ginning about April 18. The tanks which will move down Farnam stret to indicate the progress of the third Liberty loan, will prob ably be started at Thirty-sixth street. If Omaha's quota is about $3,000,000, the tanks will be moved one block f'.or each $250,000 subscribed. Several Hundred Knights Observe Maundy Thursday Semper Fidelis chapter, Knights Rose Croix, observed Maundy Thursday at the Scottish Rite cathe dral, several hundred knights assem bling to participate in the ceremony of the extinguishing of the lights. This ceremqny took place at 6:30 Thursday night. It was followed by the usual dinner. After dinner Rev. Robert L. Wheeler responded to the toast, "Peace and Prosperity to All Masons, Everywhere." T. W. Mc Cullough responded t6 "The Presi dent of the United States." J. R. Cain, jr., to "The Memory of Albert Pike," and Arthur C.

School Boy Drives Too Fast; I Pleads Guilty, Fined $15 Earl Schafer, 5201 Webster street, and Robert Dodds. 5007 Cuming street, were arrested Friday for speeding. Schafer, driving the car, pleaded guilty and was fined $15 and costs. Dodds was dismissed. Second of Alleged Gunmen Will Be Tried April 8 Frank "Big Wally" Martin, second "he alleged jewelry strre robbers, will be put on trial for the murder of Detective Frank Rooney April 8. Asks Preacher 8 and Laymen to Till Soil Bisho; Homer C. Stuntz of the Methodist Episcopal church ap peared before the Methodist preachers recently and recom mended that preachers and lay men now residing in the city who have had previous experience on farms be enrolled for work dur ing the coming summer. Bishop Stuntz asserted that many men now living in the city have hat experience in farm work and that their services for a pe riod of two weeks or more dur ing the seeding, cultivation and harvest of the crops would be of inestimable aid to the farmers by bringing their knowledge to bear upon the critical problem of food production for this country and the allies. The pastors present unanimous ly resolved to act upon the plan and request their laymen to do likewise. Neligh Man Files Cross Petition in Divorce Suit Henry S. Palmer, 65 years old, of Neligh, has filed a cross petition in the divorce suit brought by his wife, Jessie C. In his petition Mr. Palmer asserts that his wife has a violent temper, is sulky and sullen at 'times, and that she expressed sorrow at having mar ried him when he refused to support her mother, father and sister-in-law. The Palmers were married in 1880 and have six children. OMAHA SCHOOLS IN FULL ACCORD WITH LANE PLAN Secretary of Interior Makes Suggestion That Institutions Should Be Used to Maxi mum Capacity. Members of the Board of Educa tion and Superintendent Beveridge of the public schools are in full sym pathy with the suggestion of the bu reau of education of the Department of the Interior, that the widest pos sible use shall be made of the school plants during this period of war exigencies. School officials in Omaha already have arranged to operate the High School of Commerce on practically full time during the year, with brief intervals for rest. Superintendent Beveridge months ago expressed him self in favor of lengthening the ele mentary school year. , Don't Close Schools. "Don't close the schools; use them to maximum capacity," states Secre tary of the Interior Lane in a circular which has been received by school For Constipation! Physic Purge or Laxative? Everyone now and then becomes constipated, and millions are chronically in that condition. The perplexing question arises what to use. Purgatives and cathartics are drastic and usually cause a reaction. Saline yaters are rapid in action but do no more than empty the bowels. Just as certain an effect, and certainly a much more pleasant one, can be obtained by the use of a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It acts gently, without griping. It is an v especially ideal medicine for children, women, old people and others who find purges too powerful. Only a teaspoonful is required, and by morning the move ment is free and complete. A bottle in the house is insurance for the whola family against constipation, indigestion, head aches, flatulency and other digestive ills.

"The entire spirit of the ad ministration at Washington is and had been, from the beginning, that the war should in no way be used as an excuse for giving the children of the country any less education in quantity or quality, than they other wise would have had," he continues. "Both the present demands of the war emergency and the prospective demands of the necessary readjust ments inevitably to follow emphasize the need of providing in full measure for the education of all of the people,. "Opportunities should be found to introduce into the school activities having real educational value, which at the same time link up the public schools with the ideals of service and self-sacrifice actuating our people and bring home to the consciousness of teachers, pupils and parents the es sential unity of the nation in this great crisis."
