ALLIED DRIVE
SEEMS IMMINENT
Artillery Pours Shells Into German
Lines; Big Offensive is Presaged.

Bombardment by the British artil-
lery of the German lines in the Ypres
sector, in Flanders, continues most in
tense, but there has been no infantry
movement in force. An attack on a
larger scale than the usual daily raids
probably is imminent.
Berlin apparently is much exercised
over the ever increasing volume of
shell from the British big guns. From
the Houtholist wood, northeast of
Ypres, to the river Lys, on the Belgo-
French border, Berlin reports the Brit
ish fire has been destructive. Field
Marshal Haig's artillery increased it's
volume of shots to drumfre several
times.
AS on the front in Flanders and Ar
tois, there has been no major opera
tion on the French portion of the
western front. At several points from
the Aisne valley to Lorraine, the
French have made raids into the Ger
man defense. Here too, the expendi-
ture of ammunition is great, especial
ly on the Aisne front and northeast of
Verdun.
The Italians have been more active
on the Trentino front, harrasing the
enemy with raids and strong artillery
fire. In forward movement near
Carzano, in the Sugana valley, east of
Trent, the Italians captured 200 pris-
oners. Austro- Hungarian attacks on
the Bainsizza plateau continue but
General Cadorna's men have held them
for gains.
While the infantry has been virtual
ly idle on the northern end of the
east front, the Rumanians continue
their offensive in the mountain region
northeast of Fokshani, Moldavia, at
tacking the Austro- German defenses.
South of Grozechti near Ocna, the
Rumanians captured height. Berlin

FOOD WILL WIN
PRESENT WAR,
HOOVER SAYS
Administrator Asserts Neutral Coun-
tries Cannot Expect Aid Unless
They Pool Against Germany.

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 19.-Her-
bert Hoover, food administrator,
speaking on the world food situation
at the war convention of the chamber
OF commerce of the United States to-
night said that the side best able to
organize its resources for food pro-
duction and conservation would come
out victor in the war.
"The food situation of America and
the allies is SUCH" he said, "that the
neutral countries of northern Europe
cannot hope to get food from the
United States unless they expect to
furnish equivalent service in other di-
rections to the common pool against
Germany"
Lord Northcliffe, head of British
commission in this country, told of his
work as purchasing agent for Great
Britain and how he is spending be-
tween $5O,000OO0 and $60,OOO,0O0 a
week. He also described some funda-
mental changes in industry that the
war had caused in Great Britain, and
said that some of these changes would
take place also in the United States.
"Since the war began, food has grad
ually assumed larger place in the
economics, the craftsmanship and the
strategy of warfare" Mr.. Hoover
said. 'eThe allies are blockading the
food from Germany and the surround
ing neutrals are under great pressure
to export their supplies both ways.
The Germans are trying to starve the
allies by sinking the food ships and
all governments are faced with reduc-
ton in consumption, stimulation Of
production, control of prices and read
justment Of wages. The winning of
the war is largely a problem of who
can organize this weapon"

arrive from the rural districts in the
afternoon and kept coming until dark.
At the station the platform was
crowded and many people stood out

Crowds at Both Towns,

Cassville and Monett were the
scenes of public demonstrations in
honor of the departing drafted men
who were instructed to entrain for
Fort Riley the evening of Wednesday,
September 19. There was noticeable
lack of cheerfulness in the large
crowds that gathered, though at Mo-
nett there were not the tears in evil
dence that might have been expected,
the relatives and friends left behind,
evidently wishing to save the boys all
the unhappiness they could in their
leave taking.
The Cassville people served an ex-
cellent dinner to all the men called in
the first draft and they were enter
tanned with speech making and music
by the Band.
