A North Platte business man who
does much driving throughout the
bdu.nty remarked the early part of tho
week that he had .noticed tout one flold
of wheat that had suffered to any ex
tent by freezing, and that generally
speaking tho fields looked fine, not
withstanding the ground was very dry.
With the rain of yesterday, which Is
said to have pretty generally covered
tho county, wheat and rye will come
along nicely.
For Sale As ,it statidsr. ."Lutheran

street just north of church. Sealed
bids for the same will bo received

Tho Tribune regrets to loam that
duriim tho mist weak thorn has boon
a hoavy fnlling off in tho working'
forces at tho Hod Cross rooms. This
may bo duo to the work at homo in
cident to the approach of Easter; at
least it Is hoped that it can bo attri
buted to that rathor than a loss of in-,
torest in tho work. In tho Hod Cross
activities a full head of steam must
be kept, for with tho tromendoiiBj
battlo now on In Europo tho domands
on tho Red Cross will bo Increased
ton-fold. Every woman In North,
Platto should dovoto every posslblo
Jiour to Red Cross work. ,

Belgian Belief Goods Shipped. I
Tho early part of this week ten big
bjxes weighing ,.1,8'JO pounds of
goods for tho relief of tho destitute
in Belgium woro shipped from North
Platte. Thoro were not rag-tag gar
ments and shoes, but were of a good,
sorvlcablo class that can bo worn or
mado over by tho unfortunate peole
of that country. Tho success of gather
ing these garments was due to tho
activity of Mrs. Walter Kocken and
tho members of her committee, all of
whom put energy into the work. Tho
goods woro 'packed and "boxed by Sam
VanDoran and Charley Pargeon, and
tho necessary lumber furnished by L. 1
B. Dick. i

The Ford as a Freighter.
Wednesday afternoon there stood In
front of The Tribune a Ford runabout
loaded with fifty lambs In crates, 125
chickens, two Incubators, a lot of Junk
and three passengers. Tho crates of
lambs woro roped to the running
boards, and ono Incubator wal "Mount
ed on top tho hood. The car and the
load was tho property of Oscar
Bolojack who lives seven miles west
of town and the lambs, known as
"hnothorlefls," -Had been feecured of
tho C. H. Walter Co.
At tho ond of tho olghth day of thb
big Goman offenslvo tho nlltos romnlu
calm and confident. The GormnnH
havo recovered and retain somo of tho
ground lost In 1010, but horo they nro
using a third of their ontlro forces on
tho western front, backed with two
thirds of tho stragotlo rosorvos.
The ap'paront maLt objective of the
von Illndonburg drive Is to split the
Fronch 'and British forces, but thlb
will not bo accomplished. Tho nlllou
roaorvo army Is not yet participating
In tho conflict at this sector, but
stands ready to attack tho Gorman
flanks at tho proper tlmo.
As tho battlo continues to develop
nnd editors about Albert, tho British
forcos, calm and courageous-, nrp
holding tho gates ot that city against
ovorwholmlng forces of Teutons. The
stand is dotorminod and It Is doubtful
If tho Germans can break through
horo.
Von Hlndonburg ts striving vory
dea'porately to break through tho lino,
trying horo nnd thoro with picked
'units but unable to mnko an impres
sion, at tho same tlmo suffering great
lossos In men. The Foncji and British
forces are making tho enemy pay
doarly for every foot of additional
ground occupied nnd nro themselvofl
reserving tholr man power.
Yesterday morning tho Fronch
troops counter attacked with a dash
and drove back the enemy for nearly
threo miles on an olght mile front.
Wednesday night the Germans crossed
tho Somno near Chlppilly, compelling
the British flank south of tho river
to fall back. North of tho Somno the
British aro holding the line, and
around Arras tho Tommies have beat
en back tho Germans. Since Tuesday
tho enemy has 'pushed tho French
back ten miles west of Roye, which
carries them beyond tho lines widen
they held in 191C, but this drive IS
wedge ahapo and does not extern'
over a great length of lino front.
Sumlng up the situation during the
past forty-olght hours and striking a
balance, there is not much to Indicate
that the Gormans have mado any gains
of consequence, but on the other hnnfl
have suffered a tremendous loss of
man 'power. This 1ms is now placed
in excess of a half million mon Blnce
tho drive began on Thursday of last
week.

"THE LITTLE PRINCESS"
"AN ARTCRAFT PICTURE"
Marshall Neilan, who has directed Miss Pickford's recent successes, had charge of the
production of "The Little Princess," which is staged on a stupendous scale. The scenes are
laid in India and London.
The happy comhination of story, director and star make a pleasing production and one
that will prove popular with the public. Miss Pickford is noted for the superb manner in
which she carries an appealing role like that of Sara Crewe, and she does the best work of
her brilliant career in this subject.
