nual Session in Court-
/ house
The importance of good roads in

ket conditions need of signposts at
crossroads, and maintenance of high
ways fof heavy vehicles were some
of the points emphasized by speak
ers at the annual session of Dauphin
J County Road SupetVisors. helfr in
| courtroom No. 1, to-day.
!Adani Palmer, of Wiconisco, presi
dent of the supervisors' association,
! presided at the session. H. G. Xiesley,
• county farm agent, was the first
j speaker on the program. Mr. Xiesley
spoke at length to the supervisors on
jthe need of good roads because of
; the markets and dvclared much
j cheaper prices would prevail if
; farmers were afforded better facili
! ties for reaching cities and boroughs.
Wesley A. Wynn, engineer in the
j Bureau of Township Highways of
! the State Highway Department, was
i the other speaker. In his address he
save a review of labor conditions
j and the difficulties existing all over
' the state because of labor shortage.
He urged the county men to see that
j signposts were provided for all cross
j roads.
Following the addresses many of

ber of townships some of the roads
are still unopened, while In other lo
calities hundreds of dollars have
been spent to organize gangs of men
to shovel open the main highways.

The German advance probably
will continue until an authenticated
eopy of the message of surrender is
! received from the Bolsheviki govern-
I ment in Petrograd. This is now on
| its way. Foreign Minister von
Kuehlmann told the German Reich
stag that he believed the new war
' would bring peace in the eat. The
treaty with the Ukraine was made
for the purpose of forcing <he Bol
sheviki to accept the German terms.
Germany, he declared, wanted a
peace with Ilussia that corresponded
to German interest*. In announcing
that the German invasion of Estho
nia was in answer to appeals for help,
Dr. von Seydler, the Austrian pre
mier, declared that Austria-Hungary
will not aid Germany in her renewal
of the war on Russia.
French Troops Successful
In a brilliant attack in
i French troops have gone through the
| German first line on a lengthy front
and captured more than 400 prison
ers. This attackT the first of large
proportions on the western front in
1918, was carried out north of Bures
and east of Moncel, virtually on the
Franco-German border south of
Chateau-Salins.
Complete dtails of the successful
effort are lacking. There have been
many rhiding enterprises both
sides in this section of L<orraino re
cently and this.front has been look
ed upon by French military leaders
as one where the Germans .might
make their heralded drive, ft lies
northeast of Lmneville' and cast
northeast of Nancy.
German Attack Repulsed
A German attack at Four de Paris,
in the Argonne, has been repulsed
with losses by the French. On the
British front in France there has
been increase in the raiding and ar
tillery activity.
Americans Check Raid
American troops in their sector
northwest of Toul have checked an
other German raid, the enemy being
driven back by artillery fire. Ger
man airmen are reported to control
the air over the American sector and
Wednesday enemy aviators flew over
the entire position repeatedly. Al
though apparently outnumbered, the
American airmen are active and one
has attacked an enemy trench with
machine gun Are.
Entente airmen continue to be
busy in air fighting and. bombing ex
peditions. French and British fliers
have brought down twenty German
machines and British airmen have
carried out raids Into Germany. 6n
the Italian front Italian and British
airmen bombed alrdronrfos and other
targets.
London, Feb. 21.—Further ad
vance of three and one-half miles
on a front of seven and three-quar
ters miles has been made by the
British forces in Palestine, the War
Office announces. The British are
Bow within four miles of Jericho.
The operations are being continued.
The British losses on Tuesday,
when an advance was made on a
fifteen-mile front east of Jerusalem,
were very slight. Yesterday's losses
have not been reported.
The British also advanced north
west of Jerusalem to a maximum
depth of one mile on a front of
four miles.
Compensation Rate High,
Says Congressman Esch
By Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 21. Opposition
to the House draft of the adminis
tration's railroad bill, particularly its
provisions for compensating: the
roads, determining rates and fixing
tne period of government retention
after the war was voiced to-day by
Representative Ksch, of Wisconsin,
ranking: Republican members of the
Interstate Commerce Committee.
Representative Ksch. speaking for
the minority of the committee, de
clared the proposed rate of compen
sation is too high; that the power to
initiate rates should rest with the
interstate Commerce Commission
rather than with the President and
that the roads should be returned
to their owners one year or less after
the proclamation of peace, instead of
two years as proposed by the House
bill.
| "Owners of our railroads should be
content to receive a guarantee of pay
i merit of all fixed charges," Repre
sentative Kscli said, "including oper
' ating expenses, taxes and interest
j and regular dividends on outstanding
stock. Any surplus above such pav
| ment ought either to go to the gov
i emment to aid it in meeting the
' guarantee, or bo equally divided be-
I tween the owners and the govern
ment.

the roads and directs them as the

There is one safe, dependable treat

Ask any druggist for a 35c or $1 bottle
of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little zemo, the penetrating, satis

the skin soft, smooth and healthy.
