German Defeat in Flanders
Near, Says Bordeaux Paper

Bordeaux, Nov 1S.-"Le Bulletin des
Armees de la Republique" thus sums
up the military situation:
"The second great battle in Flanders
seems to be drawing to a close. AT
the present date, November II, after
a fierce struggle lasting seven days, the
German effort appears to be broken.
at has been, as with the preceding
attempts, a massacre of dense columns
of infantry led to the assault by newly
appointed officers. whose bravery does
not compensate for inexperience. In
the presence of such results it may be
affirmed that the superior instruction
and preparation of which the German
infantry gave proof at the beginning
of ostilities-qualities which greatly
contributed to their successes IN the
month of August-have disappeared
and that to-day, as far as direction of
fighting, fire control and maintenance
of contact between infantry and artil-
lery are concerned, superiority has
passed to our side.

have tempered the French army and
deprecated that of the Germans"

RUSSIA USING
AMERICAN WORKS

Petrograd, Nov. 1.-THE huge fac
tory in Russia of the Singer Sewing
Machine Company has been taken over
by the government, and will be devoted
10 the manufacture of small arms. The
factory Of the American Photograph
Company also has been requisitioned
for the same purpose, while smelling
concerns operated by Americans are
now being used to make steel billets
for military purposes.
Russia has lacked arms factories
having depended largely on France for
her small arms as well as artillery,
but practically nothing is being re-
ceived from France, and the supplies in
Russia have been so short that some
muzzle loading muskets and cannon
have been used in the Polish campaign.
The taking over of the factories, 1t IS
expected, soon will remedy the de-
ficicncy.

Thanksgivin gDinnerFund
Will Be Given This Year
to Belgians.

London, Nov. 17.-There will be no
organized celebration of Thanksgiving
by Americans in London this year, it
having been unanimously decided by
members of the American Society to
forego the customary dinner and de-
vote the entire fund 10 the Belgian
refugees. 1t was explained by an Off
Ger Of the American Society that even
in private Thanksgiving would be cele-
brated by many Americans in a frugal
manner.
1T would be strange for the society
to have Thanksgiving dinner in Lon
don this year." he Said, with Bel
gians in need Of food, and it would
be out Of place with the general at
mosphere here. In an unpretentious
way we have decided to transfer our
dinner funds to the Belgians..'
At Thanksgiving time American
hostesses have entertained extensively,
but this year there will be none at all.
Those Americans who do want turkey
for the occasion probably will have
10 pay more than usual, as the market
has suffered by the curtailment OF
turkeys from Servia, Hungary and Rus

ELEMENTARY NECESSITIES

Thousands of families in this city are tempo

some other misfortune.
One Of the chief activities of this Association
is to help these by
T. Relieving at once their immediate distress
and suffering.

needs and the amount and kind OF help their
circumstances require
g. Securing and maintaining for them the re-
lief and treatment that will enable them to get
back to Self-Support
To help these needy families back to condi-
ton in which they support themselves we
must first provide food clothing, shelter and
home medical attendance, in sufficient quant
ties to keep them from suffering
Without these elementary necessities there is
no certain foundation upon which they and those

If we are to save these families from slipping
lower and lower, to be engufed finally in the
slough of paupersn, must them at
least of the reasonable necessities of life rected
above-food, clothing, shelter and home medi-
cal attendance.
To give this relief in sufficient quantities is in
itself not enough to insure the ultimate rcstora-
ton of destitute family.
We must maintain and assure its continuity
as long necessary.
To give as little possible to cut of
family for a time in the hope that it will in some
way manage to get along, often demoralizes and
makes beggars of its members
You cannot rehabitate needy families by this
method any more than you restore the sick
by disseminating the treatment in the hope that
the patient will find way of his own to
throw off disease.
The most precious asset to be preserved dur

independence the elfrespect, the finer fibre of
those subjected to it.
We injure and may destroy these qualities.
especially in dealing with children, if, in giving
relief we force them constantly to appeal for
aid
We. therefore. must not only give the mate
rial relief-food, shelter clothing, etc.-in suf-
hcent quantities. but also assure its continuity
until the family is able to support itself
