Hard Earned Gains.
In Belgium and France the allies are
making some hard earned gains and tie
Germans also here and there are making
progress. The opposing forces are so
nearly evenly matched and the positions
OF their trenches are such that sapping
and bomb throwing must be relied on
chiefly to bring any gains; and barring

duels, this form Of warfare doubtless will
persist along the line in Flanders and in
France until the weather improves the

Smaller Loaves
Follow Raise in
Price Of Flour

With the rapidly increasing price Of
wheat and the consequently increasing
price of flour, bakers are tending to
hedge on the regulation with regard to
giving given number of ounces of bread
for a nickel. Locally, there has been
some tendency to this already. While
some bakers still maintain that they are
giving sixteen ounces to a loaf, as the
city ordinance requires, some are selling
a loaf labeled More than fourteen
ounces Others are selling a loaf la
beIed more than thirteen ounces = Z -
whether the price win eventually be
raised on loaf Of bread or whether the
city will be asked TO revise the ordinance,
reducing the ounce requirement, still re-
mains a question.
In some bakeries the price OF cinnamon
rolls has been advanced within the last
week. Where they have been selling for
q dime a dozen they are now being sold
at II cents a dozen. making them an
even cent apiece. Not all bakeries have
yet come to this advance.

German armies are again strik-
ing at Warsaw from two direc-
tions. Along the Vistula to the
west Of the Polish capital heavy
fighting has been resumed and at
the same time a new attack has
been launched from the north.
The Petrograd War office de-
scribed the fighting as more and
more desperate" and admits that
the Germans made advances at
many points. but states that they
were subsequently driven back
again.
Coincident with the Russians
sweep through the Austrian prov

way in the adjacent country of
Roumanla for mobilization Of the
