14 GERMAN TROOPS FORCE SOVIETS ACROSS WINDAU Inflict Heavy Losses on Bol shevists as Reds March on Libau By Associated Press Berlin, Jan- 28.— Bolshevist forces marohing on Libau, on the Baltic coast of Courland, have been halted by German volunteer forces, which, though greatly outnumbered, forced the Soviet army back across the Windau river by a bold counteroften sive, according to a special dispatch to the Zeitung Am Mittag. It is said the Bolshevists suffered heavy losses. In their terrorlzation of Esthonla, the Bolshevists are reported to have killed 600 people in Dorpat and Wes enberg. The German commissioner in Lithuania, who arrived here to-day, states the Kovno is not occupied by the Bolshevists, who are still tiven ty-flve miles east of that city. The line is being defended by German volunteers and the Bolshevists are said to be awaiting instructions from Moscow before resuming their advance. It is said the capture of Kovno would open the road to the German frontier. The war taught you to save! Start to own your home. Backenstoss Bros.. Real Estate, Russ Bids.

France's Sons Win Undying Glory No other nation has spilled its blood more freely that democracy might live than has France. Her sons have sacrificed more of blood and of treasure than those of any other nation.

The ingredients are imported and placed on sale in America under the name of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy by Geo. H. Mayr, for years a leading Chicago chemist.

Stokes after he had ad dressed the noon luncheon meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. The probable cost, size and location eft: a contagious disease hospital or a gen eral hospital were among the ques tions which were discussed. Mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce were present also and it was final ly decided to have George S. Rein oehl act as chairman and Warren I R. Jackson, as secretary, of a com mittee to handle the hospital cam paign. City and county officials now are discussing the advisability of first having legislation passed which would permit the erection of a struc ture with the cost equally divided. It may be planned to construct small units at a time to handle contagious disease they said, until sufficient j room has been proyided for any ! emergency. At present the city or the county has the authority to erect a hospital for such purposes, but the two can not act together. The plan to have a general hospital was fully explain ed by Dr. Stokes but the city and county officials have not decided yet upon "what action they will take. Arthur D. Bacon acted as chair man of the meeting yesterday at which a number of officials, physi cians and members of various or ganizations were present to discuss the local situation. American Flag on Dinara, Hauled Down by Italians, Restored Washington. Jan. 28.—Rear Admiral Niblack, commanding American na val forces in the Adriatic, informed the Navy Department late yesterday that the action of the Italian'author ities in hauling down the American flag on the steamer Dinara was due to a misunderstanding and that the Italian commander had apologized and ordered the flag restored. The incident occurred at the port of Jelsa. on January 16, and the first information regarding it to reach Washington came in a dispatch to the official press bureau of the king dom of the Serbs, Croats and Slov enes. Admiral Niblack said the steamer was not seized by the Ital ians, as first reported, but his mes sage revealed that the 'inter-Allied, as well as the American flag, had been lowered. "The Italian government," said Admiral Niblack's dispatch, "has been by the Adriatic naval committee to requisition all Austria "Hungarian merchant vessels, to be controlled by the Allied Maritime Council. The refusal of some of the crew on particular ships to go to sea under the Italian flag is attributed to ill feeling towards the Italian peo ple." Corp. W. C.

ARMOUR PLANS LEGISLATION TO GOVERN PACKERS Will Submit Substitute For Bills Already in Congress Washington, Jan. 2 8. —J- Ogden Armour, president of Armour and Company, is drafting legislation, with the aid of his counsel, for the regulation of the meat packing in dustry. He expects to submit this legislation as a substitute for simi lar bills now before Congress. This he told the Senate Agricul ture Committee last night at the conclusion of his testimony into the meat packing industry. Before being presented, the legis lation will be submitted to the other big packing firms and the independ ents for their approval, Mr. Armour said. He added that he believed the plan which he had in mind would satisfy both the producer and the consumer, and remove "antag onism to the packers," which he ad mitted seemed to be general. Mr. Armour reiterated that his opposi tion to control by the Government or the railroads of refrigerator and live stock cars and stockyards was predicated solely on his fear that they could not be operated as effi ciently as they now are. He said he believed ownership of branch houses was absolutely neces sary, but declared Government-op erated branch houses for the spall packers would not be opposed by the large companies. While Mr. Armour was finishing his testimony before the Senate committee, Edward S. Morris, of Chicago, president of Morris and Company, appeared before the House Interstate Commerce Com mittee in opposition to the pending legislation, which he declared would imperil the industry and prove costly ,to the consumer. Col. Thompson Placed in Charge of Athletics of Entire U. S. Second Army Lieutenant Joseph H. Thompson, of tlie 110 th infantry, 28th Division, has been placed in charge of all athletic activities of the Second Army in France. His headquarters will be Toul. Lieutenant General Robert L. Bullard, in a recent communication to the commanding officer of the Keystone Division, expressed satis faction with the work of the special ists' school. "It lias been evident," says General Ballard, "thllt, this school is not only efficiently training the men in the use of the individual weapons but is also giving excel lent instruction in the combined use of the several weapons, which is all important. The interest and en thusiasm displayed by tlie men i 3 the best, evidence of tlie success of the school. I "desire to compliment the officer in charge of the school. Lieu tenant Colonel Joseph H. Thompson, for tlie good work that he has been doing and to congratulate the division and its commander upon the very satisfactory progress of the instruc tion." Colonel Thompson is no stranger to athletics, having been a foriper foot ball coach at the University of Pitts burgh and otherwise interested in physical training. His appointment as athletic director of the Second Army is regarded as ideal in every way. The athletic training is now believed to be even more important than during the period of combat and these activities take a wide range of competitive events.
