From the Battle Front, via Paris,
Oct. 20.-The German invaders are
meeting a vigorous resistance in ef-
forts to shorten their lines and rest
their right wing further southwark
upon the English channel. Much
fighting is being done in the OBJ
security OF fogs.
French marines are giving a good
account Of themselves. German
troops tried surprise attack on the
marines Sunday, but the French

mo shooting" was the order;
"use the bayonet."
The marines got within thirty feet
of the trenches before they were
seen. Their coming was heralded
too late for the defenders. who were
| bavoneted in the trenches and be-
yond the trenches as they ran. Four
hundred German prisoners were
taken.
One OF the places where the
French had been most harassed is
near the elbow Of the western line.
The important position there had
been taken and retaken frequently
during the last three weeks. Every
time the Germans had been obliged
to abandon the position they return
ed in force and pushed back the
French by weight Of numbers
The French took the position for
the twelfth time and held 1t for ten
hours. Then came q shock Of The
human battering ram and the
French gradually gave way.
The Germans began fortifying the
place. but while they were engaged
in this task the earth heaved and
there was a deafening explosion
The ten hours the French held the
point had been sufflcient to mine
every rod of the ground. 1t is esti-
mated that three German battalions
were annihiliated. The strength OF
the German positions north Of Rove,
toward Lille, is explained by the fact
that they were occupying an un-
finished canal, extending as far as
Reisel. The Germans found m the
deep. broad cutting magnificent en-
trenchments.
Officers Of the allies say they have
noted that about 40 per cent Of the
shells from German guns explode.
They say also that the prodigality OF
their fire apparently has depleted
the German supply Of ammunition
also the intensity or the fire lately
has diminished.

IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Sarah Leigh Robertson, wife
OF Mr.. William Robertson. deceased.
died October %. 1913. She had
many friends, was kind neighbor,
a devoted wife and mother. and an
earnest Christian.
Sad memories are ours today,
One year ago deaths angel came,
All. since she went from us away
Life never has been just the same.
We know our loss was but her gain,
Yet, 'tiS so hard to face alone
Lies problems and the bitter pain
Which now are ours-and must
be borne.
So often when we're sorely tried.
Not knowing what we ought to do,
We long to creep close to her side
And hear once more her counsel
true.
She knew what Joy and sorrow
meant,
So understood the need OF all;
Intensely thus her life was spent
In answer to its every call.
1mpulsive, tender, loving heart!
IL uTeW 10 ner DOtn r1Cn and Door,
In many lives she had a part,
Her friendship was so strong aud
sure.
Dear. busy hand and willing feet
Are sadly missed at every turn,
Father! We pray that they may
greet
Each loved one when the journeys
done.
The mem'ry Of her love and prayers
Twine round our hearts like ten
drills strong,
Oh, when we're tempted by Iife's
snares,
God grant they'll keep us from the
wrong.
We know what she would have US do.
We know what sne would have
us be,
In every test let us ring true,
In His own time-her face well
see.

saving approximately 100000 tons
grain and 100000 tons potatoes. Add
to this great saving and elimination OF
waste by war. The baron turned to
statistics gathered by his department,
showing the average consumption and
use Of grain for all purposes. He
pointed out that these figures showed
that the annual requirements for c.
100000 people are 15,76O,000 tons Of
grain for bread and 43,296,000 tons of
potatoes. Our crop last year." he
said. exclusive of seed, was, grains
1861 900 tons; potatoes, 4S,6G2 ,o00
tons. This left 100000 tons of grains
to be imported and a surplus Of $780,
600 tons Of potatoes. We exported
5s1,921 tons Of rye but imported q
007, 610 tons of wheat. Expectation
of foodstuffs Is prohibited, and there
fore the surplus rye and potato pro-
duction will go long way toward
filing up the lack between production
and consumption of wheat usually COW
cred by imports. The use of grain for
feeding animals or for Industrial pur-
poses has been forbidden. There is
to be a small percentage of rye flour
used in making wheat bread and not
less than five per cent Of potato flour
in rye bread. Many use 10 per cent.
200 factories are being established for
the manufacture of potato flour. There
were 100000 tons of grain left from
last years crops. One million tons OF
grains will be saved through prohibit
tion Of feeding it to animals. The
mixture of rye with wheat and potato
flour with rye to make bread means
la vast addition to the bread supply"

lister of agriculture, today put to fight
the idea that Germany can he forced
into submission by starvation. With its
fingers figuratively on the agricul-
tural resources Of the country, Baron
Schorlemer went into much detail in
attempting to prove his assertion that
Germany can feed her population and
her vast armies for an indefinite per-
iod without importations of farm pro
ducts and food stuffs.
IF England thinks she can starve
Germany into submission, failing to
conquer us by arms" said the German
minister of agriculture, "she will find
she has made miscalculation. Ger
many can produce enough food to
feed her population for any Period the
war may last, provided we continue
our economizing and elimination of
waste. Germany will not starve-no,
nor half starve.''
Baron Won Schorlemer who has
been mentioned frequently as the next
imperial chancellor, through his inter-
view was unusually candid. He frank
ly admitted that he was not exactly
an optimist on the food question when
the war broke out" the hrst three
