200,000 TROOPS
SENT TO EUROPE
IN TWO WEEKS
U. S. Force in Franco Exceeds
900,000, Says Gen March;
Battle Lull Vital' Factor in
Favor of Allies.
(By Associated Press.)
'', Washington, June 22. Definite
word from Rome of the defeat of the
Austrian drive in Italy, coupled with
the announcement of General March,
chief of staff, that American troop
movement to France had now exceed
ed 900,000, added today to the grow
ing cheerfulness that has been appar
ent at the War department recently.
General March told the newspaper
men in his weekly conference that
with the 900,000 mark passed, the
United States is five months in ad
vance of its schedule for troop move
ments. At the same time he briefly
outlined the battle positions in
France and Italy and drew the conclu
sion that the enemy was being held
firmly on all fronts, though further
great blows are to be expected.
The chief of staff's statements fur
nished the first authoritative informa
tion as to progress in the tremendous
exertion the government has been
making to meet the challenge of the
German drive in the west. When the
first blow was struck on the Cam-brai-St.
Quentin line March 21. troop
shipments were behind schedule. To
day they are five months ahead.
Troops Moving Speedily.
' The spee'd with which the army is
being moved to the front is sharply
indicated by the fact that approxi
mately 200,000 men have been em
barked during the last two weeks. The
total movement during May was not
more than 240,000. It was only two
weeks ago that Secretary Baker an
nounced that more than 700,000 had
been shipped a week later, at the
first of his conferences with the news
paper men. General March said the
800,000 mark had been passed, and
today he placed the figure at more
than 900,000.
On this showing the 1,000,000 mark
should be passed by July 1. Various
factors enter into the problem of
transportation,! however, which for
bid a definite prediction.
General March made it clear that
time gained in getting abroad enough
American troops to give Generat Foch
a mastering superiority over the en
- emy is tfie vital factor. Every day
lost by the Germans in pressing their
effort to achieve military victory be
fore American aid can arrive in over
whelming force is regarded as day
nearer ultimate defeat for' them.
Germany Preparing; to Renew Drive.
"The general situation looks well,"
was General March's comment as he
looked at the great war maps, where
all the operations are marked out.
"The lack of fighting along the French
front is of primary importance to the
allies, by giving us a chance to get
more man power.
"The present lull on the western
front simply means that Germany is
refitting her combat divisions and pre
paring for another drive. It does not
mean that the- great battle is over.
'We can look forward to a repeti
tion of what we have .been passing
through these past few months, as far
is German activity is concerned," , A
General March refused to comment j
on the proposal to send an interna
tional expedition into Siberia. Appar
ently he, still takes the. view that this
is as yet a political question, not a
military matter. He was exceedingly
reticent also as to American partici
pation on the ltalian front , V
China Will Furnish Troops
. To Guard Siberia! Frontier
London, June 22. Chinese soldiers
' are available for co-operation with
the Japanese at Harbin and near the
Siberian frontier and if necessary
more will be sent. General Tuan
Chi-Jui. Chinese premier and war
minister, told the Peking correspond
ent of the Daily Mail The premier
added: ,;. 4
- "The threatening situation on our
frontiers certainly demands safe
guards, we aon t want the Dolsheviki
in China." . ,
With reference to Chinese particf-
. pation in the war on European battle
fronts, the premier said:"
"I would like to help the allies and
would be glad to send 40,000 or 50,
000 troops, but am prevented by finan
cial difficulties and the activities of
; the provincial rebels."

TRAFFIC STREAM
FLOWS STEADILY
DESPITEU-BOATS
British Sea Power Increasing
and Grip on Enemy Tighten
ing, Says Archibald Hurd,
Naval Expert.
(Br Associated Press.)
London, June 22. The necessity of
keeping an eye upon the importance
of sea power in the present conflict,
despite the close attention claimed by
the land battles, is emphasized by Ar
chibald Hurd, the naval expert, writ
ing in the Daily Telegraph.
"We have been apt during the re
cent offensives on the western front,"
Mr, Hurd writes, "to overlook after
aspects of the warnotably the
fundamental factor, which . is sea
power. For a period of 15 months,
during which our strength in ships
has steadily declined, the downward
tendency now has been definitely ar
rested. Not only is our sea power in
creasing, but our grip on the enemy
fi firmer than at any previous period
of the war.
"Seven million tons of shipping
enter or leave our ports monthly.
Each ship is the target for enemy sub
marines, yet there have been days in
the present week when the enemy has
not secured a single ship.
"Twelve months ago we were with
difficulty maintaining our stream of
traffic, namely, that which brought us
food and raw material. Today sup
plies are flowing through this mam
artery in greater volume than a year
ago. At the same time another
stream of traffic has started and mer
chant shipping has bee", made avail
able for the greatest transport move
ment which has ever been carried out.
"For three montha past American
troops have been coming across the
Atlantic by tens of thousands, far
faster than at one time it was thought
possible. That means that the balance
between-the allies and the central
powers isbeing adjusted in favor of
the former. ,
"Viewing the war in its various as
pects, naval, military and economic,
we have every reason for confidence.
The tide is distinctly turning and
turning let us hope, for the last time.
The submarine menace is being held.
The allied armies are increasing in
relative strength. The food positaion
of this country, of France and of
Italy is improving and shipbuilding,
both in British and American yards,
is proceeding at a greatly accelerated
pace. There is assurance that by the
end of December at least 4,000.000
tons will have been put into the water
here and in the United States and that
figure may be considerably exceeded.
"In a word, the relative naval, mili
tary and economic strength of the al
lies is steadily imDrovinir. at a mo
ment when the enemy is feeling the'
cumulative crtects ot tne blockade
maintained over a period of nearly
four years with increasing stringency
and of the war on land, which, not
only has resulted in heavy casualties,
but has drained the central powers of
industrial workers."
Home Rule for Ireland
Postponed, Not Abandoned
London, June 22. The British
government regards its proposals of
Irish home rul and rnnarrintinn aa
postponed, but in no wise abandoned,
the Times says it understands. Con
scription will not be withdrawn nor
- is re .

measure of self-government for Ire
land. Recent events have convinced
the government that the first business
is to establish law and order, but its
policy is unchanged.
Germans Mass 'Prisoners
Where Bombs May Drop
Geneva, June 22. The Germans are
massing more and more allied pris
oners, both officers and men, along
the Rhine and in frontier towns, says
the Lausanne Gaiette. An Alsatian
newspaper reports that five allied pris
oners were killed and six wounded
during a recent raid on Thionville,
Germany.
HOW SAFE ARE .
YOUR FURS NOW?
Dresher Brothers' Fur Sterge Vaults
Can Yet, Accommodate Some
" Treasured Fur Piece.
The careless, happy-go-lucky per
son Is Just the one who is apt to suf
fer a loss of furs.
Indifference to the seasons is what
produces hairless patches on furs
(due to the destruction of moths),
ana recklessness in general is what
invites loss of furs through burglary,
fire, water, etc.
Wouldn't it be fine to go to bed
at night knowing that your furs are
safe; absolutely safe during all of
the summer months, and that you
would be plentifully reimbursed
should anything happen to 'em?
Listen, friend! There is only one
place in which to store furs away for
the summer, and that is in the con
crete and steel fur storage vaults at
Dresher Brothers, the immense Dry
Cleaners and Dvem At 99M 0017
Farnam St., Omaha. It would take
an expert mechanic a couple of days
to bore through these vaults; besides,
every electrical alarm attachment
known is also, made use' of. As far
as "Raffles" or any other sort of a
burglar is concerned, Dreshers will
lay a cigar box full of silver dollars
in the fur vaults and those dollars
rightfully belong to any burglar who
is clever enough to "jimmy" his way
through the vaults in a single night.
That's how safe your furs are here.
m But, the most important part of it
is that the Dresher Fur Vaults keep
the furs at just the natural tempera
ture of the clime in which fur-bearing
animals roam about.
Of course, if you wish your furs
repaired, or cleaned, the time to do
it is before vou have them stored, and
Dreshers' Fur Workers can do this
for you. Dreshers' Fur Workers
will also make you attractive low
prices on new fur pieces made to or
fier during the summer months.
Leave work at the plant, at Dresher
the Tailors, 1515 Farnam St., or at
the Dresher branches in the Burgess
Nash or Brandeis Stores. . Dreshers
pay express or parcel post Cirjr
une way on any snipment. Adv.

Suspension of Tax Increases
Washington, June 22. When
representatives of the publishers as
sociation closed their testimony to
night, Chairman Kitchin told them
he was "afraid we cannot get together
at all" on the proposal to suspend
the zone postage system, but said no
new revenue tax on advertising is
contemplated.
, Gardner Cowles, of the Des Moines,
Iowa, Register-Leader, and T. R.
Williams, of the Pittsburgh Press,
joined in asking for suspension of the

separation of the charge for adver
tising as cumbersome.

Yf Sworn Statement of
the Composition of
the Formula of
Nuxated Iron
How it helps to increase strength
nd build up delicate nerv
ous, run-down folks.
The Board ot Directors have authorized
the broadest publication of the sworn state
ment of the composition of the formula of
Nuxated Iron, so that the publio may exam
ine it for themselves and judge as to Its
merits. It is conservatively estimated that
this remarkable formula Is now being used
by over three million people annually.
Among those who have used and strongly
endorsed It are many physicians who have
been connected with the best hospitals and
medical societies, Hon. Leslie M. Shaw,
former Presidential Cabinet Official Secre.
tary of the Treasury ; Vice Presidential Nom
inee Chas. A. Towns, former member of
Congress ; distinguished U. 8. Army Gen
erals (Retired), Judge Atkinson of the
United 8tates Court of Claims at Washing,
ton and former Health Commissioner Kerr
of Chicago.
Newspapers everywhere ere Invited to
sopy this statement for the benefit of their
readers. It is suggested that physicians
make a record of it and keep It in their
)fflces so that they may intelligently an.
twer questions of patients concerning it.
Everybody is advised to cut it out and
keep it. A copy of the actual sworn state
ment will be sent to any one who desires
such. It is as follows:

Each dose of two tablets of Nuxated Iron
contains one and one-half grains of organic
Iron in the form of iron peptonate, of a
special specific standard, which, In our opin
ion, possesses superior qualities to any
other known form of iron. By using other
makes of Iron Peptonate we could have put
the same quantity of actual iron in the tab
lets at less than one-fourth the cost to us,
and by using metallic iron we could have
accomplished the same thing at less than
one-twelfth the eost; but by so doing we
must have most certainly impaired their
therapeutic efficacy. Glycerophosphates used
In Nuxated Iron is one of the most expen
sive tonio ingredients known. It is especial
ly recommended to build up the nerve force
and thereby increases brain power, as glyeer.
ophosphates are ssld to contain phosphorus
In that particular state so similar to that in
which it la found in the nerve and brain
cells of man.
As will be seen from the above, two Im
portant ingredients of Nuxated Iron (Iron
Peptonate and Glycerophosphates) are very
expensive products as compared with most
other tonics.
Under Such circumstances the temptation
to adulteration and substitution by unscru
pulous persons, is very great and the public
is hereby warned to be eareful and see every
bottle is plainly labeled "Nuxated Iron" by
the Pae Health Laboratories, Paris, London
nd Detroit, U. 8. A., as this is the only
genuine article. If you have taken other
forma of iron without success, this does not
prove Nuxated Iron will not help you. We
guarantee satisfaction to every purchaser or
your money will be refunded.
Take Nuxated Iron for
Red Blood. Strength
and Endurance
In regard to the value ef Nuxated Iron,
Dr. A. J. Newman, late Police Surgeon of
the City of Chicago and former House Sur
geon Jefferson Park Hospital, Chicago, says
it has proven through his own tests of
it to excel any preparation he has ever
used for creating red blood, building up
the nerves and strengthen'nir the muscles.
Dr. J. W. Armisted, Grove Hill, Ala., gradu
ate of the University of Alabama School
of Medicine, Mobile. 1883. says: "In the
cases " I used Nuxated Iron I have found
more beneficial results than from any pre
paration I have ever used in 84 years' prac
tice.' Dr. James Francis Sullivan formerly
Physician ot Bsllevue Hospital (Outdoor
Dept.), New York, and the Westchester
County Hospital, said: "Contrary to' gen
eral opinion, lack of iron in the blood does
not necessarily mean yoo do not have
enough blood, but it means your blood is
not of the right kind. If you feel tired in
the morning; restless" at night; if yon suf
fer from weakness or lack of vitality, go
to your family doctor and have him take
a specimen of your blood and examine IL
and if it shows Iron deficiency, get him to
srive you a prescription lor organic Iron
Nuxated Iron. Do this so aa to be sore
that yon do not get hold of some of the
numerous forms of metallic iron prepara
tions on the market which may do yon
more harm than Rood. Or if you do not
want to go to this trouble, purchase an
original package of Nuxated Iron and see
for yourself fist the words Nuxated Iron
appear on the package Not Nux and Iron
nor any other form of iron than Nuxated
Iron."
Iron is absolutely necessary to- enable
yur blond to change your food into living
tissue. With mt it no matter how much
you eat or what yon eat your food merely
passes through you without doing you ..any
good, and as a consequence we become
weak. pale, sickly looking, just as a plant
in soil deficient In iron. If you are not
strong or well you owe it to yourself to
make the following test. See how long
you can work or how far you can walk
without becoming tired. Next take two
tablets of Nuxated Iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks, then test
your strength again and seei how much you
hive gained. .
