"A bitter east wind is raging in Flanders and visibility is very low. Tha situation is generally unchanged. The enemy continues to - employ fresh troops and we aro likewise steadily increasing our forces, Consequently, the battle ia .none stationary, although as intense as ever. UNSUCCESSFUL ATTACKS "Today the Germans launched a heavy attack against a length of front they have boon attacking continuously and unsuccessfully for the past two days, undoubtedly calculating that the British were worn out and that another smashing blow would finish up. But fresh reinforcemonts helping ihe defenders, hold ..the enemy back with terrible losses. BODIES IN WAY "The enemy's losses were absolutely innumerable in view of his method of attack. His formula for shock tactics consists in pushing forward in succession dense waves at. close intervals and as the front line is killed off the others press on by the sheer weight of the men behind. Frequently his advance has been checked by the barrier of piled up oorpses. . .VALIANT REARGUARD "Our rearguard fighting has been skillful and valiant beyond words, While the machine gunners holding a series of little posts hive poured bullets into the enemy until their ammunition has been exhausted, the main body .has .slowly fallen back upon prepared positions.

LONDON, April 14.—(Via Reuter's Ottawa Agency.)—A Reuter despatch from British headquarters in Franco Saturday reads: "Tho general position at tho moment seems to justify the hope that tho Germans will achievo no more toward a decision in Flanders than they have done in Picardy and Artois. They have overrun a lot of territory and scored a success of tactical achteve- .raents, but the strategic situation in Flanders remains unaltered. For so long as the allied armies continue to face the enemy with an unbroken lino of men and guns the issue for them remains as clear as before they wero pressed out of tho positions occupied tp March 21. "The situation at the weekend was steadily progressing in our favor. Although the Germans delivered several heavy attacks today at various points, all wore repulsed. Not only has the enemy made no progress anywhere, but tho retaking of Neuve Eglise by our troops may force him to relax his efforts in the direction oi! Bailleul. There is a tendency toward a lull In tho offensive, which probably means that the Germans are very tired."

E (Continued from Page One) Such n system obviously has its drawbacks, as it can only bo carried out for a limited time, tt Is ono more, sign of Germany's determination to win lite war in this battle and risk all In doing- so. "The destruction of the British army is his object. There is, therefore, satisfaction in noting that so far the destruction of his own army has proceeded more rapidly, though the situation is still serious. To date tlie British army has been attacked by double its number of enemy divisions, supported by an enormous mass of artillery of all natures. In those circumstances, it is not surprising that the enemy gained undeniable success, but t a great price. "On the other fronts there have been no operations of importance. In Italy in attack is expected to develop In due course and will no doubt coincide, ;ts nearly as possible, with the maximum German pressure In France and Flanders. Beat Foe in Palestine.

Take it internally and it gets at the source of the disease in the blood and completely and permanently drives it out of the system. Miss Mary V. Chambers, Anagance Ridge, N.B., writes: "I used Burdock Blood Bitters for eczema. I had it when an infant, but it left me. Two years ago it came back. I used doctor's medicine but it did good only while I used it. At last my face was nothing but a running sore. I saw In the paper what B.B.B. did for people. I took it, nnd today I am free from that terrible disease." Manufactured only by The T. Mil- bum Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont jaz railway was magnified into an enemy victory. Nevertheless the British made a further advance on a 5-mile front, capturing villages. '-There has been less activity ln the air this week on the western front owing to the broken weather. Raids on hostile troops and transports have been productive of 'satisfactory results. Air fighting has been less Intense owing to unfavorable weather. But scouts have engaged the enemy on every possible occasion, bringing down 53 and driving down 31 hostile machines out of control. "Luxemburg has again been raided, a ton of bombs being dropped. "In Palestine our aircraft successfully cooperated in the operations against Hcrjaz railway, bombing an Important station on the Annan railway and destroying trains and other enemy materials. "In home waters, the Adriatic and tho Mediterranean, seaplanes and airplanes continue their effective cooperation with the naval forces on an ever increasing scale. "From the beginning of this week tho whole of Great Britain is under the operation of the compulsory plan for meat rationing. Food Rationing. "The institution of a partial scheme for the London area, six weeks ago, practically abolished the meat checks and it Is expected that they will now disappear throughout the country. "Seven-eighths of the peop'e are now subject to local rationing schemes for butter nnd margarine, while the whole country has been for sometime rationed in sugar. The conviction of the absolute equality of sacrifice has caused the public to accept the necessary restrictions singularly good-naturedly and lias encouraged tho demand for rationing, of other foodstuffs in which scarcity is found or expected. It Is Intended to reduce the butchers' meat ration after May 5 and to substitute an additional bacon ration, thus leaving birds and flocks to fatten during the grazing months. The supplies of lard having improved, It is proposed to include this In a slightly increased fat ration. Cereal Imports are still far below require ments of the wheat executive. Active measures aro being pushed forward by the government In concert with employers and workmen's associations to promote the formation throughout the country of representative joint councils to deal with matters of Interest of various trades such as labor, material, etc., during the period of transition following the war. The first series of conferences in Leath commence this week, my MULTITUDES (Continued from Page One) indeed, nnd Gen. Haig's assurance of French support in the struggle has vastly heartened them. The British have learned to value the fighting qualities of tlie French. The French are indeed brave, their morale is comparatively one of the irresistiblo confidence. "The enemy is apparently ehdeav. oi'iiig to gain command ot the line ol communication between Bailleul ami the north. He Is fighting desperatelj with ;t mechanical bravery and iron discipline. Balk Enemy Plan "II Is also apparent that the enemy Is hoping to envelope the big forest of Nleppo by thrusting through Hazebrouck and tlionco southward, but tho latest intelligence shows that he is progressing very little In this direction. Our resistance at certain points along the line of advance is balkine the plan. After the fourth repulse at Neuve Eglise last night tho enemy made a heavy attack and gained o little ground at a few points east of the village.

CABINET MEETS TO FffiARMY BIU •Sunday Sitting Is Held to Complete Amendments to the Military Service Act (By Dally News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, April 14.—Cabinet council was In session for four hours this evening. • Sunday sittings of the cabinet arc quite unusual, but when the ministers dispersed at mdnlght, Sir Robert Borden said he had no statement to make as to the nature of the deliberations. It is understood, however, that the cabinet met to put the final touches on a number of amendments 'to the Military Service act which aro designed to increase the flow of reinforcements of the Canadian army in France. It will bo recalled that when tho Quebec situation was discussed In the house, Sir Robert announced that the government' would Introduce a number . of: amendments *o tho Military Service net. It ia understood these were under consideration on Saturday nnd again tonight.- In the absence of an official announcement it is impossible to say whether the amendments have, been definitely framed. If they have, their purport will doubtless be announced In parliament without delay ■ The pbject of the government Is to speed up the working of the act so that additional fighting, forces may be secured with tlie least possible delay. It is certain that all exemptions granted will be subjected to revision, the urgency of the situation being emphasized by the serious developments on tho western front during the past fqftn'ght. Lloyd George, in his recent speech in the British house of commons, said that the greatest need for men would probably occur nt the end of May or In June. The government Is determined to do everything possible to have Canada's army maintained n't Its present high state of efficiency when the need is greatest.

BEAT OFF HUNS. Nowhere along the eight-mile front where the Germans are trying to drive through have they met with any but repulses and the price they have paid for their efforts to break British line havo been enormous. On no other sector have they been ablo to surmount the stonewall defense and for the moment at least, thore seems to bo justification for the hope that the turn in the tide of battle is at hand. Documents captured from Gorman prisoners show conclusively that the now great offensive of the Germans was launched with Intention of separating the British and French armies ind tho crushing of the British. The.latest German official statement dealing with the situation In the region of St. Mihiel; where the Americans aro defending the line, soys that the Germans inflicted heavy losses on Ihe Americans In a successful thrust and also took prisoners. The samo reports' give the Germans credit for the gaining of Iground ,on the Lys battlefront! where the British are opposed to them. Finnish Reverse. In Finand the Germans are continuing to overrun the country and tho fall of Helsingfors is daily to be expected, according to advices from Stockholm.

The Germans today were continuing to drive forward in mass:s a?alnst the defending posit'ons whl h bio k th ir way to Hazebrouck w_th its railway lines, but at the latest reports the British lines had not wave'-d n the face of the terrific onslaughts by superior numbers. While no en. c ulJ predict the outcome of the f erce battle-now raging, the Biltsh position this morning seemed more firm and settled than at any period s nee the Germans began their onslaught west of Armentieres. Active at Montdidler. The attacks In this region havo been carried out with stendi'y In reaslng forces. The troops employed on the opening of day were few as compared with thoso now in the att eking 1 nes, Between St. Venant ard the Ypres- Oomines canal the cn:my last night had at least 17 divisions in line, with six more divisions hold In re3e:ve. Thero has been no cessation in t'^e desperate work which las been goi g forward since April 9. All last night the opposition's forces struggld at close quarters at numerous points anil when daylight came, the Germans launched two more tremendous drives, ont south of Bailleul and Metercn and tho other against the bloodstained stone about Neuve Eglise. "We are holding," was tho cheering Import of the news received by the correspondent of the Associated Pr.ss about noon concerning the' sector involved. " Unabated Fury. During the day the enemy launched throe separate attacks against Neuvo Kgllse and each time was hurled back without making any gains. At 7:20 o'clock yesterday evening the Geimans again surged forward, but they camo under such punishment from michlne guns and rifles that they were forced lo fall back. This was only an Introduction of the night's work. Throughout the long dark hours the battle con- Unued and when daylight come It proceeded with unabnted fury as the ena- my rushed up fresh troops and tlung them against the grimly holding British. It Is hard to conceive how the comparatively weak forces of the British have been able to withstand theS3 heavy shocks, especially in view of thu fact that tbe Germans a.mast continually kept bringing new troaps into action against the long-suffering defenders. But thoy have held and the record of the defense of the Morville- Bailleul sector will form ono of the most graphic chapters In the history of tlie war. Situation Stays Same. The fighting b.^Iow Balileul has differed little from that al, other points. Tho Germans made a heavy push hero last night about Merris, but could make little progress. The British gave a tiny bit. of ground below Moolenack- er, but the situation was virtually unaltered. Southwest of Vieux Berquln yesterday the Germans mado four b.g attacks accompanied hy an intense bombardment. The. onslaught was a terrific one and there waa at that time only one British brigade facing several divisions of Germans. How the British held probably they themselves could not tell, but they did hold, although their line bent a little in places. The German easuaitiMH in this s.c.or yesterday were appalling. Attacking nuns Mowed Down, A heavy concentration of Germans about Vieux Berquln who were about to be employed in an assault against a long suffering British brigade, were caught in an artillery barrage and literally ripped to pieces. For two hours the British shells ploughed through the enemy ranks and veritable slaughter resulted. The same sort ot thing lias been going on for days. Prisoners verify statements that tho British harassing fire is frightful. For two nights beforo the Germans began their present drive west of Armentieres the British artillery worked havoc. Prisoners say that when the advance started thoy had to-walk over bodies and the wrockage of munition and supply wagons. : l-jjjjjj Bodies a Protection. Another instance occurred northeast of Estaires, where British riflemon Ullcd so many of the enemy that the advancing troops were piling dead bodies and using them as protect.on against the fire. The first wave of attacking troops thus far in the fighting almost Invariably has been broken and even the second wave has been smashed. This :s expected by the enomy, who depends upon subsequent waves for succr^s. British airmen continue to do marvelous work in fighting tho enemy at' close quarters. Not only ara they doing groat execution In bombing raids, but they have beon sweeping down Into the mouths of the machino guns annd engaging effectively with their rapld- flrers. Battles in the air are numerous and thus far the British havo maintained vast superiority in this method of warfare. BURNS GIVES BATTLEPLANE. (By Dally News Loased Wire.)

NO VICTORY FOR GERMANS IN SECOND PHASE Up tb the time covered by last night's cables, victory in the second phaoe of the great offensive of the Germans on the western front rested with the British. The enemy has won some ground, but he has railed to win a decision. Anything less than a decisive victory over the British or French armies represents a defeat for the Germans. There is no middle path!. They must destroy the fighting power of the allied armies or their tremendous preparations, their tremendous sacrifice of lives, their tremendous expenditure of munitions counts for little. In fact, on a balancing of accounts the advantage rests with the allies. It Ib men, It Is armies, that count in this war, rather than indecisive gains of territory. The power of the British and French to strike back remains intact. As long as it so continues, Germany can never force a German peace on the world. JOSEPH MARTIN TO CROSS ATLANTIC AGAIN Joseph Martin, who states that he Is returning to Great Britain to associate himself with the Labor party, rmiy'.be welcomed by the Labor politicians of the mother country, and, yet again, he ■ may not. If thoy know much about him they will he very cluiry of too close associations with the former premier of British Columbia In any political way. -d6 Martin Is the great outstanding failure ln Canadian public life. He has considerable ability but he is too much of a stormy petrel, he Is too lacking ln stability and balance. He. Is capable of rising to groat heights, but not of staying there. That Is his whole political history. Joseph Martin, exeo * in recent years, has been able to secure what he wanted in public life, but lie has never been able to hold it. He rises fast hut tumbles faster. In his fall he usually takes his associates with him. Hence the British L.bor party's opponents are more likely lo welcome his return to Great Britain than is the Labor party Itself, PHY8ICAL STANDARD IN CANADA IS HIGH. Either the - Canadian military standard of physical fitness' is much lower than the American, cr Canadian young, men are considerably superior in phys'que, says an: o_st:rn student of statistics. Thare are fa.ts that seem to support this statement. The average of rejections for physical unfitness are prop:rt.on_teiy very unteering period, was roughly 26 per cent. The cream of tho Ca-.adian young men then went into khaki. But even taking the examlnatlcns undor the Military Service act, and com. ar- ing them with results ln the Un t-d States, the fact is establish.d that Canadian rejections en the ground of unfitness are proportlcnaely very much lower. In the first 1,300,00 vo'.unte.ra In the United States, for the army and navy —of men between 21 and 31—only 448,- 000 were accepted. That Is, the percentage, of rejections was 66 per cent This Is accounted for, partly at any rate, by a stlffer set of requlr.mentB, but the fighting ability and capacity of 6ndurance of Canadian s.l.i.rs is second to none. It may be lh_.t the course of training sets up a young man who has weaknesses caused by environment, occupation, etc., ar.d that only incurable organic or muscular trotibles need be a bar to tr_.ln.ng. It would be pleasant to conclude, however, that Canadian young men are more physically tit than their United States cousins—perhaps not to mjch in appearance as In organic soundness. Life insurance charts show that ln the decade of 1900 to 19.0, the dea.h rates of United States men and women over 66 years of age—white sons and daughters of white parents—Increased nine per cent: while in England and Wales the rate decreased 22 to 17 per cent. The large percentage ot physical unfitness in young men between 21 and 31 la worrying United States health authorities, and bringing forth a call for more attention to physical development A NEW CANADIAN INDUSTRY. Previous to the war, the miner's safety lamp glasses used ln Canada were imported from Germany and Austria. They are made from a special kind cf glass having a high resistance against breakage frcm a blow or sudden change of t mp:ra- ture. The material used ln safety lamps must necessarily be Of a high quality, as a defective lamp may be the means of causing a mine explosion. The United States was also dependent on enemy coun'ries for supplies of safety lamps a~d l:m? parte, but, through the cooperation of the bureau of standards and the bureau of mines, these are now being m.nufac- tured ln that country. Tho price of safety lamp glasEes has increased from J6.50 p.r 100, before the war, to nearly $10 f. o. b. New York. The demand for them In Canada 1b Increasing year by year, and t'-e present requ'rement3 are ln th; neighborhood of 60,000 glasses par annum. Thero are a number of glass manufacturers In Canada and Ihe production of these glasses would not only prove to be an additional source of profit to the manufac'urer, but wcuid also make Canada Independent cf foreign sources of supply. Safety lamp glasses and many other imported products now used In Canada may, or may not, have been standard ized In Germany, the Unitrd States and elsewhere. If It Is Ir.t;r.d d to manufacture these products n Canada it will be necessary, however, to provide some means for guaranteeing their standard of purity. The importance of the subject, nnd the Increasing purchases made by the different departments of the gove nment demonstrate the value of a C. nad.an national bureau of standards, sim lar to that In the United Statts. Plant a vegetable garden. Don't complain about the rain. It is doing Its part toward a year of big production for Canada. A bear was shot at York Mills, near Toronto, last week. Perhaps he was looking for the Toronto stock market. Like some prima donnas, 'Joseph Martin Is once again niaking "posi- tivoiy his last appearance" In Canada. Haig knew whom he was talking to when he asked tlie British soldiers to hold the line firmly and cease retreating. COLD 8TORAGE "Bobby," said a friend to a six-year- old boy, "I hear you are going to school now." "Yes, sir," was the reply. "What part of school do you like the best, then?" "Comln' home," was the prompt re- Ply. Mrs. Hiram Daly (reading)—It says that Nero had 200 cooks. ' Husband—That beats our record by 50 at least. A pawnbroker In a small country town was awake .ed In the m'cdle of the night by a furious krociting -t his shop door. Ho opened the'window and looked out. "W-h-w-h-at's tho matter?" he asked breathlessly. "Come down," command-d the stranger. "Who are " "Come down," Interrupted the o'her. Tho pawnbroker hasUn.d dow_stairs and peeped through the door. "Now, sir," he demanded. "I wansh know tho time?" said the bibulous one. "You blinking Idiot. Do you mean to say you woko me up f_r that? How dare you?" The midnight visitor looked Injured. "Well, you've got my watch," he explained. CAPITAL AND LABOR JOIN HANDS, -<•> Press despatches from the Pacific coast carry significant and encouraging news, They report "the f rst step in a movement to exert a p.imanent and helpful Influence toward 1 ss n- lng Industrial dlsturba-ces on the coast." Spoclally appol.-.ted c:mmi.tees of the Vancouver board of trade and the Vancouver trad:s and labor council met In a two-hour confer nee. II was an Initial step. Other meetings are to be held regularly from t.me to time, "and," the despatches say, "it is believed that ths more Intimate acquaintanceship with ths aims and ideas of both capital and labor on the part of rival leaders will do much to maintain industrial peace and cooperation." The conference was ln no sense an emergency one. There waa r.0 particular strike, or threatened strike, under cons.deration. The meeting dealt with "general principles, with a view to getting closer together." This will be the purpose of other meetings to follow. After the conference President Shallcross of the board of trade issued a statement declaring that "both sides had.already learned a great deal about-the other's viewpoint, and good Is bound to result." The example ot Vancouver might well be followed with great national advantage by the representatives ol capital and labor in other large manufacturing commun'tics throughout Canada. War's Industrial pro'.lems are present and persistent. Atter-the-war Industrial problems will be even more difficult and acute. This time of national unity ln endeavor Is particularly appropriate for the inauguration of permanent representative bodis to discuss plars for cooperation and agreement This getting together means, as Mr. Shallcross says, that each sld3 of the Industrial combination which has so much of Canada's future .devel- ment and prosperity in Its handB will learn "a great deal about the ether's viewpoint." Knowledge and understanding are more effective methods of building .up Dominion industry than strikes rV'lockouts. Let other Canadian cities follrw tho Inspiring lead of Vancouver.—Toronto Globe. THE SCHOOLS IN THE NON- ENGLISH DISTRICTS. In the course of a recent address before the Manitoba legislature, Hon. R. S. Thornton, ministerrforiic.tion, gave a summary of the methods adopt- ed to Improve the school facll ties in certain non-English neighborhoods. Within a triangular district of about 10 miles to each side not far from Winnipeg were many sections where the school build ngs were old ard greatly lacking ln proper accommodation. Other sectlcns had no school buildings. Everywhere .there was difficulty in secur'ng teachers because no suitable boarding places were available. The department grappled wi'h the problem by putt'ng the of iclal trustee, Mr. Ira Stratton, ln charge. Sine? 1915 he has been instrumental in building 112 new schools, eac'i acacm- modatlng fifty children. The enrolment now Includes about 4200 children, of whom 3400 were heretofore without school accommodation. Forty-five teachers' resdmees have been built, each with three airy rooms and a sun porch. Teachers are available for every district with a res- dence. The teacher comes with her mother or sister and es abl shes a Canadian home in the midst of a Ruthenlan or Polish settlement. Frequently she starts work with 30 or 35 children of assorted ates none of whom can speak English. Withis three months they have.a fair English vocabulary. They scon bo- come intensely i iter sted not o ly in the school work with Its manual training, its domestic science, and its scheiol garden, but In the practical "settlement" in full operation In th' teacher's res'dance. The pr bl ms which Manitoba faces are po uliar and thorny, but it is becomng clear to all eyes' that In breaking the bilingual shackles which hampered tho school system the province made a short cut to tho h'giiwa'y of efficiency.—Toronto News. | WHY ALSACE IS FRENCH «-__ -$ A large part of Alsace, Includlrg al: the Important cities except Strass- burg, became Flench by tlie treaty of Westphalia, in 1648, says a letter to the New York Evening Post. Strass'- burg, declared a free city, was virtually outside the empire from that date on. In 1674 and 1677 its Inhnb'tants allowed it to be used as a gateway for the invasion of France, and Louis XIV. cannot be greatly blamed for annexing It on that provocation. All this was before tho days when the right of a peocle to choose Its own ru ers, was recognized. But the t ue French claim to Alsace Is not that of co que~t; it is that on July 14, 1790, th. representatives of Strassburg end of all Alsa e and of all the cites and provinces of France, at the ceremo y of the Federation, vol 'ntarlly made, public declaration of their adherence to French nationality. The nationality first Imposed upon the Alsations by agreement between tulers was on that day ratified by them of their own free caolce. The real reasons for the German seizure of A sace ln 1871 were, first, that It was worth taieing, and, secondly, that its loss would weaken France. Ihe linguistic claim no more entitles the Germa., to Alsace than to Swltz rlana; the "historic" claim, based en the assumption that the Gar- man empire of 1871 should be co-ex- tuis.v. u-.ui Uie n_i> _,uiu_.u umpire of the Hapsburgs, no more entitles them to AlEace than to Bohemia. Since the beginning of the war, Alsace has been terrorized by arbitrary arrestB, deportations and executions of natives suspected of French sympathies. What furthor Infliction- would fol'ow if the German authorities had any reason to belleye that a popular vote to decldo the question oi nationality was to bo taken after the war, can easily be Imagined.—Detroit Free Press. HAS DONE WELL For a year now tho United SlateB has been a war partner of tho allied powers. It has been a year of strenuous work for the government and people of the United Stales and l.i view of all the difficulties that had to be overcome the end of the twelve months finds the republic to the s.uth commendably forward In the game. Those who are prone to comp a.n of the slowness of our latest ally and wonder why, with all the wealth In men, money and machinery at her command she has not long before proven a deciding factor In the great conflict, are either in ignorant e, of, or are forgetting for the moment, many things. It will not be possible to appreciate to the full all that Uncle Sam has done in the war dur.ng tho year Just past until some ante-war date when historians gather and set down all, the facts in their proper sequence. Meanwhile men who know something of all l_at has been happening, affirm Really Sir, 1/7 you are vastly interested in Sunlight Soap You pay for the garments it cleanses so well and so carefully.

THE AMERICAN MULE. , _4 The mule has found a ch .mpbn.'The Minneapolis Journal comes to lis defense and glorification. It points out that wherever a wosteir allied army fights the American mule is a big factor in the second line of defonss. Now that French veterinarians have learned to silence his unmusical bray by an easy surgical operation, it maintains that he is destined for great military service behird the fiont lines. Heretofore the mule has been generally regarded as a joke more or less flavored with danger. As a domestic neighbor he was to be he d at good arm's length because about him tharo was always a potential war zone. Our Minneapolis contemporary does not see him that way. It seriously argues that the real American mule is a domestic jewel, and that tho raising of the mule ought to receive tlie s me intelligent study given to the rearing of a horse. The mule, it maintains, j will outlive the horse, will work mora: and eat less for his weight, can sa.'ely be herded in fioeks whc.e hoises would injure each other, is 1 ss li.ble to be stampeded, and larely m tiLtes himself as frightened hor_.es of en do.!

The bishop is used to being out of funds. According to his own statement, ho has been in a chronic state of im- peciiiioKity ever since 1901, when from a suffragan he was promoted a full- fledged bishop. He once published a slatement of his accounts lo show how difficult It was for him to make both ends meet on his salary of £10,- 000 a year. Although a bachelor and a man of simple tastes, he was compelled to live at Fulham Palace, with its <!4 bedrooms, maintain it in good condition and not neglect the Scriptural injunction to be "given to hospitality." Ho hinted that he would much prefer living in a small flat at a much reduced salary. But he was not allowed to rid hlmsolf of his Episcopal white elephant. Now that tho Red Cross is to take it off his hands he may be able to save something out of his income. By using a tractor to pull water wagons on Saskatoos streets, the city will offect a saving of $25 a day, according to Commissioner C. J, -Yorath.

GERMANS WEAR " :~" CAMOUFLAGE SHOES Wooden Shoes With Paper and Rag Uppers Make a Poor Foot Covering. LONDON.-Tbc lack of leather In Germany has become so acute that common leather shoes have bocome a lttxuny within reach of only those privileged by wealth or rank. For the average German subjects "of .both sexes the German government has just invented a. "uniform shoe" (Einhett- schuh,) This shoe is made of paper, wood, old nigs and scraps ot leather, and, oven in the opinion of the most ardent pan-Germans, is something to which it is impossible to get accustomed. To set'an idea of what the horrible discomforts of the new German substitute for shoes must be, it Is .sufficient to hear the opinion on this matter of tlie Berliner Tageblatt, one' of the staunchest supporters of the military click. It says: "The now uniform shoe has .-nothing of. the elegance, (lightness and beauty ot tho former plain street shoes. The leather and cloth tr.m- mings of ladies' and gentlemen's shoes aro now lacking completely, aB are also the leather soles, which have beon substituted by other raw matcri. Is. "The now shoe Is crude and clumsy, uncouth, and very rough, heavy a .d thick, and will be a source of discomfort, and annoyance to unaccustomed feet. The sides are mado of impreg- nothing has-been finer than the stand made by the Tliira Army against the enemy's onset. All the Indications are that the main German offensive was launched against that part of thp British line held by Gen. Byng's army. Nevertbc less, Von Eulow's hammer blows made practically no impression on this force. The Third Army did not glvo way for more than 100 yards tinder the weight of greatly superior numbers, and only retired in order to conform with tho new dispositions rendered necessary by the great bend in the line on its right. Every division in tlie Third Army fought gloriously against great odds. None fought better than the Cist division, composed of Highland Territorials, whose valor fras' gratefully and admiringly acknowledged by the King during his recent visitfto the front. A German Tribute One of the most striking tributes to tbe bravery of the British was the compliment tendered by the enemy to the famous 51st division. Tho division had been fighting for six days and was almost exhausted. It was ordered to fall back to the Beaumont Hamel line, a little fa.rther west, but many of the men could not walk, they, wore so tired from the lack of 'sleep. Then camo over from tho German side ono of those little red balloons, which the enemy had been using .to carry out propaganda. Tho balloon was shot dowii, and here Is the message it, contained: "Good old Slst division,' Btiok'ag to it yet. Cheer up." The division was holding a. flection of tho lino in.the vicinity of Demi- court, near tho Bapaumc-Cambral road, on the first, day 6f the battle, when the Germans surged forward. The enemy attacked in a soutliv.'est- erly direction tinder cover of'the i and outflanked tho 61st on its InWU rush. A Gallant Ofticir '■■Tae Iremondoiis strugiBle'cotillhui tit Dolgnles .which the Germans nil eeedetl.

'Clever JGerman Scheme The 51st was' forced to fall bac because of the situation on Its flank It retired slowly, fighting every Inc of tho way. The Germans now .in troduced a new scheme.for advanctn their troops.1 They-blasted shell-crp ters along the front of the Gist, an' intonheso holes' they dribbled'the. infantry, who found them good pro tectum.
