Battle of Messines Duplicated In Miniature Among Sand Dunes (By Associated Ptpm.) British Headquarters in ' France, July 14. The German attack along the sand dunes of the Belgian coast on Tuesday evening was in nearly all respects a miniature of the British at tack on the Messmes ridge on June 7. It seemed as if the Germans had studied that battle in detail and planned their thrust wholly on the lessons learned. There was a vast difference in the size of the two opera tions, however, for, while the German attack on .Tuesday was limited to 1,400 yards, the British charge at Messines was along a ten-mile front. The depth of the two attacks also was in the ratio of ten to one, the Germans having advanced only about 600 yards, or to the British support line, where they now are endeavoring to' entrench themselves, while the British have fallen back to the west bank of the Yser. This little battle oil the sands of Flanders will live largely through the valorous defense of the English troops, who met the shock of the German massed formations after hav ing their protecting defenses blown to pieces about them by the greatest of German shell fire front in more than a ELKS TO TAKE PART IN MERCY PARADE Move of Omaha Hotel Men's Association to Bring War Pictures Backed by Fra ternal Orders'. With the addition of the Reichstag controversy to the burden of Ger many's other ills, the gravity of the situation within the Hohenzollern realm is strikingly apparent even to the most casual reader of war and international news. For months Germany has been un successfully straining to end the ad vance of the Anglo-French lines on the west front, even with the aid of the hundreds of thousands of men available from the Russian district. Despite the fact that the Slavs were inactive the swift shuttling of troops across hundreds of miles" from one front to the other the rapid moving of pawns comprising entire army di visions on the chessboard of war that spelled victory for General von Hindenburg in his gigantic drive, has gradually slowed down until -the mo bility of troops has been greatly hampered. Russ Again Busy. The armies of the new Russian democracy within a few short weeks have again resumed operations on the ground allowed gradually to slip away from the clutches of the slowly disintegrating forces of Czar Nicholas when internal strife shook the.' Ro manoff from his throne, and are' well on their way toward the capture of Galician capital. Russia's avvak- the ening coupled with the smashing blows of the British and French on the west front must mean that there can be little strengthening of either German front to the cost of the other snd that Germany, having long ago strained its resources of fighting men, must furnish still more warriors to carry on the conflict. How desperate has grown the Ger man emperor in his effort to stave off impending'disaster is apparent in the sop of so-called "equal -suffrage" in Prussia, that he has thrown to the protesting members of the Reichstag and the rumor sent out that, von Bethmann-Hollweg considered the prime advocate of war for annexa tion and indemnity was to resign. ' Austria May Quit. Added to Germany's other troubles is-the not improbable prospect of los ing its Austrian ally. The dual mon archy is having its own troubles in the unrest that has recently grown to alarming proportions among the. Hun garians. Hungary would not be averse to a separate government and to this is added the fact that a vast majority of the Hungarian people is more closely allied by blood ties to the Slavs than to the Austrians. The return of the Russian armies to the field may reawaken this blood broth erhood to such an extent that Emper or Charles may lose a half of his em pire. v ; .Within the Austrian and German j dominions are likewise hundreds ot i thousands of Poles, who have long! been growing more and more restive j under the stream of indignities that i the Teutons have heaped upon hapless Russian Poland, and this, too, is add ing to the burden that is bowing down, alike the dual monarchy and the Ger-! man empire. Situation is Adverse. j The entire situation is so strikingly adverse to German success and the carrying out of the Hohenzollern dream of empire that the action ot Emperor William and his aides in striving to pacify the rebellious Reich stag might easily be construed as a titanic effort of the ruling house of Germany to steady itself upon the throne that is already beginning to tremble, though many of the best au thorities in America believe the move does not even remotely approach a revolution. The apparent throwing of a direct defy at the Reichstag in the refusal to grant any of itsdemands may mean that despite these facts the sense of divine right is so strong within him that he has determined to endeavor to crush the will of the entire Reichstag membership beneath the strength of his own. In its entirety the situation presents possibilities that arc likely to develop in any one of many startling ways. . Real Estate Man Writes Of "Swell" Feeds in Army A. A. Gilbert, Omaha real estate man who joined the colors a . few weeks ago, writes to his former em ployer, Harry A. Tukey, to say that at Fort Logan, Colo., he was greatly surprised to find spring chicken and strawberries and cream for a Sunday dinner. He had supposed such things were foreign to the army. He has been assigned to the Medical depart ment He expects to be shipped out at any time but does not know where.

Omaha organizations of social and fraternal purpose are quick to nipport the move of the Omaha Hotel Men's association in raising funds for the Omaha Red Cross ambulance fund. The hotel men, who are staging the famous battle of the Ancre pictures at the Brandeis all next week, are ar ranging for the big parade Monday afternoon, also. In it Shriners, Woodmen, of the World, Elks, a platoon of police, Ak-Sar-Ben governors, hotel men, ' in fantry, sailors, Red Cross officials, so ciety women, South Side cowboys and others will take part. . In the case of the Elks, Secretary I. Miner of that organization developed a peculiar situation, which was quickly handled.' The Elks are riot permitted to make a public display except on Memorial day, Decoration day) Flag day, Fourth of July, or at. Elk funerals, without the consent of the grand exalted ruler or district deputy, so when they were requested to participate in the parade Monday it was necessary to secure a special dispensation from the head of the order. Fred C, Harper of Lynch burg, Va., was elected on Tuesday at. the grand lodge meeting', in Boston as grand exalted ruler and was in stalled at the closing session Thurs day afternoon. . The local lodge sent a telegraphic request to' him for a special dispensation to enable the Elks to join in the coming parade, and the first official act of the new grand exalted ruler was the sending of an affirmative telegram, as follows: "I am glad to approve the propo sition by Omaha lodge in so worthy a cause as the Red: Cross parade." The Marching club of Omaha Lodge of Elks in palm beach suits, headed by "The Spirit of 1776," imperson ated by members of the. C. B. Mapes Drum Corps, will meet at the Elks' home, Monday, and will proceed to Jefferson square, where they will joirt in a parade that will start from that point, at 2:30 o'clock. Nearly every fraternal and social organization in Omaha has sent a no tice to every one of its members, telling them of the parade and the films', and urging the support of both. The Woodmen of the World sent out 7,500 such notices, i concentration seen on this year. The trenches dug among the blow ing and shifting sand dunes were speedily obliterated by the storm of high explosive shells the Germans were able to pour on them. Most of the shells were the famous S.9 centimeter projectiles and upward, few field guns having come into play. During the terrific bombardment, which lasted all through Tuesday, the fortifications recently taken over by the British could fairly be seen to dissolve. The German lines to the river Yser and the sea formed a triangle, the base of which was the coast line. In this angle, the sands of which are now dyed red with English blood, were North Hampton troops and King's Royal Rifles. The garrison fought to the death and the German report of 1,250 prisoners taken cannot be cor rect. The temporary bridges across the Yser had been blown to bits during the barrage fire and the troops which eventually escaped across the river had to swim the stream. FT. SNELLING HEADS KNOW WHERE MEN GO Abilities of Men Already Clas sified, But Announcement Will Not Be Made Until Middle of August. - Minneapolis, Minn., July 14. -(Special Telegram.) Students in the offi cers' reserve camp are thoroughly classified in the minds of the instruc tors, according to a statement by an officer of the camp today. The work has been of a nature to establish the presence or lack of the quality of lead ership in the men and the instructors know just which service, if any, each man is qualified for. Commissioning of the students probably will be post poned until August 15, but the awards, while not announced, will be made by August 1. The company instructors and other officers start a final comparison ot notes and records of the men next week, and the assignments to pro visional lieutenancies in the regular army, the designations of positions of various rank in the national army and the assigning of men to aviation, ord nance and quartermaster departments will be done by August 1, although the men will not be informed probably until the close oi the school. The remainder of the work of the camp is in battle instruction and the work ac complished up to now is said to have told the story where every man will lahd with regard to rank and branch of service. Preliminary to overnight hikes called for in the curriculum of the school, the students in the reserve offi cers' camp are now learning to pitch shelter tents. WILSON SUPPORTS FOOD CONTROL BILL President, in Letter to Demo cratic Leader, Recommends Purposes of Original Legislation. (Br Associated Prew.) Washington, July 13. President Wilson has come to the support of the administration food control bill as originally submitted to congress. In response to a request from sen ate leaders for assistance in solving the difficulties standing in the way of action there, the president sent to Democratic Leader Martin a personal letter recommending the general pur poses of the original bill for govern ment control of foods, feeds and fuels. He wrote that he believed un necessary the extension of govern ment control as proposed in amend ments attached in congress to steel, iron, copper, cotton, wool, leather and other products. The substitute bill drawn by Sena tor Gore was opposed by the presi dent as an emasculation of the admin istration legislation. He wrote that he considered prompt final disposi tion of the legislation imperative. Letter Not Public. The president's letter, which was not made public, is understood not to have discussed prohibition in any form. Upon reliable authority, how ever, it was said that in his confer ence yesterday with the senate lead ers, the president expressed disagree ment with the Smoot amendment adopted by the senate last week, di recting purchase by the government of all stocks pf distilled beverages in bond at costs plus 10 per cent. Upon receipt of the president's let ter, administration leaders prepared to secure action along the lines sug gested. Food Administrator Hoover conferred with Senator Chamberlain, in charge of the bill, and added his opposition to tjic Gore substitute as nullifying the government's food con trol plans. Fruitless attempts were made by Senators Gore and Reed to secure by parliamentary moves immediate con sideration of the Gore substitute. Vice President Marshall ruled that until the pending administration bill is en tirely perfected by amendment, the Gore substitute will not be in order. The senate spent the whole day de bating an amendment designed to prevent members of the defense coun cil's advistory committee from sell-, ing their own products to the goven ment. Just before adjournment, Sen ator Pomerene offered a substitute, which Senator Chamberlain, in charge of the bill, agreed to accept, merely prohibiting the commissioners from working for contracts in which they have personal interests.

Two Amazing Cars We have two amazing cars to show you which are built in eight new body styles. They are built in the finest plant in the world, devoted to high-grade cars. They are built under John W. Bate, the great efficiency engineer, by methods which he has developed. They embody the result of 1 4 years of scientific motor car study. How Thev Differ Know the Results FeatenrineertMebuyin ' I t lie ah These are the most They differ from other like-class cars in a hundred attractive ways. The Mitchell has 31 features like a power tire pump which nearly all cars omit It has luxuries and beau ties rarely found, even in costly cars. Both cars combine all the attractions which experts found in 257 new models. And every vital part is built to the standard of 100 per cent over strength. That is twice the usual margin of safety. complete cars on ex hibit They are the handsomest cars in their class. Their performance will delight you. Their comfort will surprise you. No shock absorb ers are ever added to a Mitchell car. Their endurance has been proved byrunning two Mitchells over 200,000 miles each. Their strength has been proved by the trifling repair costs.
