Tho tension between the United States and Mexico, which was some what relieved when C&rranza ordered the release of the captured troopers, has again become more tense, and both countries are massing troops along tho border, -lliousands of na tional guardsment have been sent to the border; nnd while the United States has made this move, the Mexicans have also been strengthening their forces south of the border. No clash es between tho American and Mexican troops were reported Saturday or Sun day. : :r.: : Allies Penetrate German Lines After practically two years of prep aration, England tho latter part of last woek began her assault against tho Gorman lines In the western arena, and in tho drives sho Is making has succeeded In driving back the Gor mans, forcing them from the front line of tholr entrenchments. Tho forward movement was started after tho trenches had been raked with can non and mortar fire for several days, with an average of one million shells a day being thrown. Tho British an nounce that they now have two mil lion fresh men to throw Into the con flict, nnd If this is truo, It is possible that tho German forces will be steadily driven back. Heretofore England has not figured very strongly In tho as saults, but now that sho has reached a state of "proparedness," sho will no doubt bear tho brunt of the assaults. ::o:: Keith Neville returned Saturday from a campaign trip by auto in tho northwest part of tho state.

This fund wil bo used by tho boys to pur chaso little luxuries nial conveniences not furnished by tho government. Many towns In the stato nro raising such a fund, and North Platto can well af ford to do so. It is a.llttlo courtesy we owe them, the performance of which should bo n pleasure to each of us.

The work of cleaning up tho Blto of tho former Union Pacific depot will bo completed today; und tho removal of tho hubblsh certainly enhances the appearances of tho surroundings. Just hW soon tho dispatchers wfflco will bp moved to this site Is not known by tho local officials but they think It will bo in the near future. A test holo twelvo feet deep Is being dug just east of tho present depot. This Is for tho purpose of determining the condition of tho soil which will govern tho construction of tho foun dation under tho now depot. It may bt found necessary to uso piling In order to secure as firm a foundation n Is desired.
