WAS HARD BLOW
English and French Swept Forward on
1O-Mile Front.

London, Oct. l0.-British and French
armies dealt crushing blow to the Ger
mans in Belgium yesterday.
A combined assault on front of near
ly 10 miles deepened and widened in
every direction the great bulgng breach
in the German defenses that is shaking
the whole German hold on the coast
where the submarines fit out.
East of Houthulst wood the British in
fantry swept through Poelcapelle and
drove the enemy two miles straight
northward in the direction of Bridges
the longest gain made on the Flanders
front this year.
The French, joining hands with the
English left wing, charged through st.
Jean de Mangelare and Veldhoek vii
lagos, advancing mile and quarter to
the forest of Houthulst. To the north
east of Ypres other British divisions
overran the slopes leading down from
Brood -Seinde toward Roulers and pur-
sued the Germans out into the fiat coun-
try.
East of Ypres further ground was
gained in spite of furious German coun-
ter attacks. Nearly 1000 prisoners fell
into the hands of the allies.

GERMANY'S POWER WANING
According to Report of French General
Staff,

Washington, d. c., Oct. l0.--Germany S
military strength now shows a clear de-
crease for the first time since the war
began according TO a review based on
data of the French general staff, made
public here las night by the French high
commission.
Worn down and driven back by the
never ending pounding of the allies on
the western front, the statement says,
the Germans have made their supreme
military effort after drawing heavily on
their inactive armies in the east and
calling out their 1918 and part of the
1919 reserves.
Thus, while the allies have reached and
are prepared to maintain their full
strength while awaiting the coming of
Americas great army, the enemys re-
sources are diminishing at the very mo-
ment when the military situation de-
mands that they increase.
This shows" concludes the state
ment, "the decisive character attending
the operations in 1918, when three great
democracies, England, France and Amer
lea, will unite their entire strength in
attacking the enemy, in conformity with
the only sound principle of war"

Food Conservation in Vermont.

The men of the allied nations are
fighting; they are not on the farms. The
production of food by those countries
has, therefore, been greatly reduced.
Even before the war it was much less
than the amount consumed. The differ
ence came from America and few 9TH
er countries. Now. then, this difference
is greater than ever and at the same
time but little food can be brought in
from outside except from America.
Therefore. our allies depend upon
America for food as they have never de-
pended before. For to-day they are our
companions in the great war for demcc-
racy and liberty They are doing the
fighting, the suffering and dying-in our
war.
A noted financial man in the country
has said that our chief business o-day
is to win this war and all other things
should be secondary Our allies must
have the food 10 carry them through the
cold winter, and we must conserve il and
send IL across in large quantities.
