The greatest blow struck against the German lines north of the Somme since the British offensive began July 1, carried Ger man positions on a six-mile front to a depth of from one to two miles, General Haig reported tonight, in a review of the operations since Friday morning. Further progress was made between the Ancre and the Somme today and 1,700 more prisoners taken by the British. In the two days of fighting, Haig's men captured 4,000 Germans, includ ing 116 officers, and took as booty six guns, fifty machine guns and a con siderable amount of other war ma terials. Fifteen German aeroplanes were shot down over the British front, while the Teutons put out of action only six British fliers. Advance Slackened. Though the British continued today to push down the slopes leading to Bapaume, now less than four miles away, the advance was slackened be cause of the necessity of further artil lery preparation. To English military men the most encouraging feature of the day's operations was the fact that the Germans apparently were unable to rally for any effective counter at tack. The official bulletin from the Ger man war office this afternoon conced ed the violence of the British attack and estimated that about 400,000 Anglo-French troops were in motion in yesterday's offensive north of the Somme. Berlin also admitted the loss of Flers, Courcelette and Martin puich. The Gefman position at Combles is now so precarious that the surrender of that German point of support may be expected at anv time. The British now hold most of Bouleaux wood, northwest of Combles. Once Haig's men push on through the wood, the Germans will be forced to evacuate Combles. The German war office statement this afternoon emphasized the point that the British attacks through Bouleaux were directed at Combles, but declared that the British attempt to capture the town was frus trated. King Congratulates Haig. King George telegraphed congratu lations to General Haig today on the success of the new British drive and expressed confidence that "victory will ultimately crown our efforts." The French pushed forward north of Bouchagesnes in today's operations and also captured a trench east of Berny in the fighting south of the Somme. German counter attacks south of the Somme were repulsed by French machine guns. The French war office tonight re ported successful air raids on the German furnaces at Utkingen, on the railway stations south of Metz, at Binsdorf. Spincourt and Longuyon. A German flyer dropped bombs on Rheims Friday nifldU, killing two civil ians. Are You Looking Old? Old age comes quick enough with out inviting it. Some look old at -JO.

SCHUTLBR n on c in A Message from Governor Capper of ansa s "Kansas, in common with other states, has ex perienced in the last dec ade an increase in the cost of government and the burdens of taxation, far beyond the increase pf population. In twelve years public expenditures have increased 68 per cent in the state; 77 per cent in the county; 153 per cent in the city; 119 per cent in the township; 132 per cent for schools.' ft H This quotation is taken word for word from an offi cial message from Governor Capper of Kansas to the Legislature of Kansas, .1915 session. The -message is dated Jan. 12, 1915, is signed "Arthur Capper, Governor," and appears on pages 11-17, of the official Senate Journal, State of Kansas, 1915. The attention of the reader is called to the fact that taxes have increased enormously in Kansas, a prohibition state. The Nebraska Prosperity League OPPOSED TO STATE PROHIBITION.
