A resident OF Carthage describes this ex-
pertinent in letter which Mrs. Richard

from this letter:
"Of the Is families who Joined when
it was organized, five families dropped
out because they could no longer afford
to belong.
IF the cost OF provisions had remained

doubtless the kitchen would have become
a permanent institution. But the price
OF foodstuffs increased so rapidly that
the second year found the kitchen facing
this question: Shall we cut down our
table Of increase the price OF board
There were some who could not afford
TO spend more on food These left and,

of the things that some the kitchen
had considered necessary.
"When the price Of board was increased

BRITISH STICK TO TRENCHES.
French, German and Belgians Willing to
Give Ground to Their Advantage.

London, July 22--The British stick
10 their trenches to the last man, hence
their heavy casualties. The French, the
Germans and the Belgians have no senti-
ment about yielding ground, If to their
military advantage to do so, especial
" when they can draw the enemy on
TO marked ranges. But the tradition
OF sticking it out to the last, born OF
the DAYS when man was pitted against
man instead of man pitted against ma
chine. is so strong in the British army
that one of the most important lessons
of the war has yet to be learned by
it.
These are the observations of Cana
dian surgeon who has worked on the
three allied fronts in Flanders and made
a close study of the different fighting.
methods.
According to his account, the French
and German, unlike the British, lay no
stress on holding their front line OF
trenches. In case of an attack they
withdraw to the rear lines. Being care
full measured range, the enemy in taking
the first line gets into wasps nest.
The French, with marvellous accuracy,
pour in both shrapnel and high explos-
i've shells from their famous 70 field
guns. When they assume the offensive
and capture German trench, they pro-
tect their men with a curtain fire as
long as possible; but if its occupation
seems likely TO prove too expensive
they withdraw, measuring the ground
as best they can in their retreat in or
der to correct the aim of their batter
les. Somewhat the same tactics are fol-
lowed by the Germans, who, however,
use machine guns instead of field can
non. But the British hold on 10 their
front trench when attacked, and onto
the captured trench when attacking,
with a courage unexcelled in history.
But they act with more courage than
intelligence. since they play into the
hands of the Germans by their very |
Etubbornness.
British losses have almost all been |
due TO an effort 20 stick out to the |
last minute, when the French would
have retreated, shelled out the foe and /
made fresh attack. This is the French |
policy of attrtion. IL enabled them
TO assume the offensive at will and 10
keep up a constant and wearing action.
while the British make their fight and
then remain rs they are for long pc
riods OF inaction.
