TRY TO ENVELOP GERMAN RIGHT
WING FROM ROVE NORTH
TO ARRAS.
TRIED OPERATION BEFORE
Aim to Reach German Lines of Com
munication and Encircle Their
Army, Forcing It Back Into
Belgium and Luxembourg.

London, Oct. 4.-Having repulsed
the German attacks, presumably in
the vicinity of Roye, the French, ac
cording to the official communication
issued this afternoon at Paris, have
resumed the offensive at several
points, while other positions on their
left have been appreciably maintained.
The great effort of the allies to en-
velop the German right, therefore,
may be said to be again in operation,
and it is believed that the whole
French column, from Roye northward
to Arras, is moving eastward against
the German position.
1t is the same operation that has
been tried repeatedly for the last three
weeks in an attempt to reach the Ger
man lines of communication and en-
circle the German army forming the
right wing or force it to fall back to
Belgium and Luxembourg.

Oct. 5.-The allied armies, after hav-
ing permitted their adversaries. as
they thought, to, exhaust themselves
by continued attacks, today took a
most vigorous offensive The British
and French encountered such a strong
resistance, however, that their most
advanced attachments on the western
wing were compelled to fall back
Only at this part of the long battle
line did the opposing troops actually
come into close contact.
The allied armies are continually
extending toward the north and bend
ing eastward toward the Belgian from
tier, thus compelling the Germans, in
order to prevent the crumbling up of
their main army, to move large forces
from the center and so keep pace with
the allies whose position menaces the
invaders along the whole line. The
allies plan, it is thought, may compel
the Germans to release the pressure
on the Belgians.

Food Value of Candy.

Candy eating is becoming great
American national habit. The use is
no longer confined to children, the
matinee girls and their mothers. Man
has come SO under the potent influ-
ence of his sweet tooth and to the
growing penchant for sweets that the
candy bill of Uncle Sam is 1870 million
dollars a year.
1t is said by experts that the enor-
nous increase in the use of candy is
the direct outcome of corresponding
decrease in the use of, alcohol. Physi-
clans have noted the fact that the two
tastes are dramatically opposed. Al
cohol destroys the taste for sweets,
and it is rare to find heavy drinker
who cares for desserts, let alone gives
up himself to the delights of candy.
Correspondence the heavy candy
eater is not likely to be the person
who has a strong liking for whisky
beer or wine. In the last few years
the admitted gain of sobriety among
all classes of people has had the ef
feet of adding to the business OF the
candy maker in leaps and bounds. II
is no uncommon thing to go into the
office of a business man, the leader OF
law or finance who is constantly deal
ing with problems involving the out
lay of big sum of money. and find or
his desk a box of bonbons or choco
lates. These he will offer to visitor
much in the same way that he used tt
think it proper courtesy to offer 6
cigar or invite his guest out to have &
drink with him.
Considered solely as an article O.
food candy is most beneficial. It sup
plies heat and energy in compac
form, is readily digested and is O
great value in relieving fatigue. Man!
men find in candy mild stimulation
something somewhat similar in effec
to what they formerly got from to
baccO or whisky.

he has a good crop this season, in
spite of the dry weather, at Centralia.
Mr.. Farmer. who claims the distinc-

corn which will mature west of the
Cascades, made the discovery as the
result of an accident.
Manager Marter of the Harrison
Meat Co., Harrison, Idaho, reports In
creased attention being paid to live
stock In that section. More hogs and
cattle are being marketed this year
than In four years past. The farmers
are breeding high grade stock and
giving them good care. Attention Is
also being paid to milk stock.
The J. X. Armsby prune packing
plant at Vancouver has started its
seasons operations, with compile
ment of about SO operatives. About

A large proportion Of the prunes han
died come from the Washougal dis
