lin Dispatches-French Beat
Down Counter Attacks
Further East.

British Headquarters In France,
June II. (by the Associated Press).
With their overwhelming weight
Of massed guns and in hand to
hanG fighting at some points. the
British have beaten off all German
counter attacks upon their newly
won positions beyond the Messines
ridge. Prussian and Bavarian
storm Of fire poured upon them
from advanced British batteries
positions, suffered frightfully.
AS this dispatch is written, they
had succeeded in capturing and
holding only one British post at
Klein killebeke which had been
pushed we'll forward Of the consoli-
dated British line.
Beaten back in the center, the
Germans apparently have massed
towards the flanks Of the front OF
which the British advanced. They
attempted several times to organ
lie heavy counter attacks in the
direction of Warneton, but the
British guns upset their plans.
General Haig's determination to give
the Germans no rest was exemplified
last night when the British penetrated
positions around Lens to q
depth OF more than half a mile.
The field Of this attack lies from Is to
20 miles south Of that Of the big drive
made by the British in Belgium on
which resulted in the capture
of the commanding Wytschaete-Mes-
sines ridge and its retention despite
German COUNTER attacks.
The two fields Of attack constitute
points from which the great manufac-
turing district OF Northern France cen.
tering in Lille, may be subjected, to
alternating pressure.
The British uccess today is taken to
mean that the fail Of Lens, the great
French coal city. is near. and that m
other great blow is about ready to be
towards clearing the Germans
from their long held and much priced
French possessions in this area.

Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold OF the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calo1rle!
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calome1, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and tia:
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel doggy" and
"heavy." Note how they 'clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spir-

"THE RUMMY"

In 1.-THE Rummy," at the Grand to-
night, the story opens with young
newspaper reporter working on re-
form paper The paper is owned by
O'Sullican, political boss. Our hero
is sent down to cover the night court.
The girl in the story is out of a
job, and after vainly trying to get
work is put out of her room. She
goes out into the street, and in des-
peration accOsts man. He offers to
buy her meal, but she gets fright
ened and runs. A policeman who
has been watching her, follows. She
eludes him and hides behind some
packing boxes on the dock. He final
ly corners her and she jumps into the
river. He jumps in and after a stiff
fight rescues her and takes her to
the police station, where the reporter
recognizes her as a girl who lived in
the same boarding house that he did.
Feeling sorry for her, he marries her.

As appears from the table, France,
Italy, Russia and Belgium were self
supporting. while the United Kingdom
drew its entire sugar supply from ex-
terror sources. The supply Of the Unit
ed Kingdom came to the amount Of
about 70 per cent from countries from
which 1t is now cut OF by the war.
Ten per cent came from the East In
dies and 20 per cent from the United
States and the West Indies.
The prospective 1918 crop in France
has diminished to 100000 tons and
that Of Italy to $4,000 tons, and they
are therefore short $4,000 tons. The
displacepeht.of United Kingdom sup
plies amounts to LABS. 900 tons; and
therefore,. IN total. these three allied
countries insdst import about 2.700.OO0
tons in ,ocaer to maintain their normal
consumption OF this, 100000 tons
must come from new sources.

ing the men Of the country who are
not actually engaged in the handling
Of food to sign similar pledges that
they shall see to it, so far as they are
able. that these directions are followed.
We are asking all who wish us well
and who undertake our service to be-
come actual members of the food ad-
ministration. just as much volunteers
In national service as we ourselves are,
SO that thus the food administration
may not be composed of a small body
Of men in Washington and q small

democracy. We hope to see the In

Autocracy finds its strength In its
ability to impose organization by
force from the top. The essence of
democracy consists in the application
Of the initiative in its own people. II
individualism cannot be SO organized
as to defend itself, then democracy is q
faith which cannot stand. We are
seeking to impose no organization from
the top. We are asking the American
people to organize from. the bottom up,
and this is the essence Of democracy
itself.
The call Of patriotism, Of humanity
and OF duty rings clear and insistent.
We must heed 1t II we are to defend
our ideals. maintain our form Of gov
ernment, and safeguard our future wsR

of our shipping situation, these exports
must be of the most concentrated
foods. These are wheat, flour, beef,
pork and dairy products. We have 9TH
er foods in great abundance which we
can use instead Of these commodities,
and we can prevent wastes In thou
sand directions. We must guard the
drainage Of exports from the United
States, that we retain a proper supply
for our own country, and we must
adopt such measures as will amelior-
ate. so far as may be, the price condi-
tions of our less fortunate. We might
so drain the supplies from the country
to Europe as by the high prices that
would follow to force our people to
shorten their consumption. This oper-
alton Of normal economic forces
would starve that element of the COM
munity to whom we owe the most pro-
lection. We must try to impose the
burden equally upon all.
Action Must BE Voluntary.
There Is no royal road to food con-
servation. We can only accomplish
this by the voluntary action Of our
