CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Aug. 19.-(By the Canadian Press Limited) The fiercest engage ment on the Canadian front since the beginning of the war is gradually com ing to a triumphant end by the ex- haustion of the enemy. Since the cap ture of Hill 70 and St. Laurent on Wednesday morning the Canadians de- lending their newly won positions have been compelled to stand by almost without cessation to meet the counter attacks. The leaders of the German troops are utterly regardless of the lives of their men and as soon as one division has spent itself in a frantic and futile effort to recover the lost ground another is sehI forward to the scene
 The fourth guards were cut to pieces in yesterdays counter attacks and dur ing the night new division, the two hundred and twentieth, was brought up. Passing through their own lines without stopping these fresh troops attacked at 4:30 o'clock Saturday morning on the Bois Hugo sector north of Hill 70.
 The attack was accompanied by a projection of enemy liquid fire and gas. Our artillery turned an effective bar rage upon the Germans, which caused heavy losses but ther continued to ad- vance with the utmost determination. At close distance of only seventy yards from our line the machine guns were turned upon the attacking groups and they broke and ran for cover.
 South of St. Laurent the enemy penetrated our first line trench but were driven out again as the result of a counter attack. In these desperate struggles there has been much use of the rifle, bayonets and bombs. The prisoners now number more than HOO.
 One of the most heroic deeds put OF record in the Canadian corps since the war began is that of a runner of Colonel Oromonder's Alberta battalion The company to which he was attached was hotly engaged near the chalk pits and he was given q message to take

 owing to reasons of state the government decided to transfer to a new residence, the former emperor and former empress who are detained under guard The place selected was Tobolsk where they were taken after requisite measures to insure theii safety were taken.

No Beefless Days

NEW YORK, August 19.-Hotels and restaurants throughout the United States will not be required to enforce a beefless day as part of the food conservation program but in stead will be asked to reduce portions of meat and prices accordingly, said John M.

PEACE PROPOSALS
 ARE DRAGGED |NTO
 GERMAN POLITICS
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

COPENHAGEN, Aug 19.-The pope's peace proposal now is being dragged into the field of party politics in Ger many and made the subject of conten- tion between the pan-German annex ctionists and advocates of moderate peace.
 George Bernhard in the Berlin Vos- sische Zeitung, says the pOpe's action has cleared up one of the mysteries connected with Matthias ErZbergers re cent peace campaign in the reichstag and the adoption in the reichstag of his resolution was to pave the way for the pope's note.
 Vienna dispatches say the govern ment newspapers declare emphatcally that it is impossible to cede a foot of soil to Italy, but otherwise little vehe- ment objection to the pOpe's note is heard from Austria.
 Count von Reventlow in the Tages Heitung continues his cynical discus gions of German policy. He avoWs, in reference to the pope's phrase on the substitution of the moral power of jus tice for might of arms, that the moral Jaw exists for the Germans only so far IS it applies to the German empire and nation. The writer says the Germans cannot consent to a reduction in arma- lu6nlS WHICH diOne nave IIldUN pOSSlble the existence of the empire and the possibility of it's moral activities.
 Count von Reventlow adds that Ger many cannot bear her own war bur dens and that, therefore she cannot re- nounce indemnities and that guarantees for Belgium's independence cannot be found. He also says that the carrying out of the papal program would mean an end to the middle European alliance and Germany's ruin.

WAR RATIONS OF BREAD ARE
FORCED by CHICAGO STRIKE

Chicago, May Negotiation be-
tween Chicago's striking bakers and
the bread manufacturers had reached
deadlock tonight and as result
housewives were forced to what
amounted to war rations of bread
and -four.
Grocers were selling only about two
loaves of bread to each household and
flour only for immediate needs, the
maximum sale being twenty-five
pounds.
With almost 100 bakeries, among
them the largest in the city, closed
as result of the strike and the daily
bread supply about 100000 loaves
short, the strikers apparently were
clinging to their original demands for
increased wages, shorter hours and
the right to approve or dismiss bak-
ing foreman, and the employers were
firm in their refusal to grant them.
Meanwhile, Charles f. Clyne, Unit
ed States district attorney, and Rob-
ert w. Chiles, special United States
district attorney, turned their entire
attention to the strike and its causes
in an effort to determine if war meas
ures are being violated.

ABANDON FOOD rnEJuDIcEs

Don't be fnicky. Be willing TO try
new foods. Certain plentiful and
nourishing foods widely used and en-
joyed In one. section are practically
unknown In other sections Of the coun-
try. Learn to know all the good
things, not few only.
People too easily get into food ruts;
insist on eating only the food they
are used to, and refuse to give a fair
trial to others. This causes undue de-
mand for certain staples, with result
ing scarcity Or high prices when crops
are short. At the same time other
valuable foods may be relatively cheap
and available. A striking instance OF
this failure fully to appreciate rice
a valuable source,of starch--when po-
tatoes are scarce and high. Another
example is refusal in certain sections
to use anything but wheat as bread
stuff, when corn-plentiful and rela-
lively cheap.
Cook Food Properly
Learn how to cook all kinds of
staple foods and to serve them in a
variety of ways. Simple dishes well
prepared are better than expensive
foods badly cooked.
Many persons are prejudiced
against certain good foods because,
when first tried, the foods were i'm
properly cooked or prepared
Remove from your vocabulary
don't like" or cant eat"
Most individual prejudices against
widely popular foods are either imag-
mary or baseless.
Try to like every simple food; give
1t fair trial
Demonstrate thrift in your home.
Make saving rather than spending
your social standard

CHICAGO BREAD STRIKE CLOSES
s. BAKERIES

Chicago, April 30-Chicago crap
pied vainly today with the bakers
prospects of an immediate settlement
for the alienation of the threatened
bread famine were remote. Repre-
sentatives of the strikers, whose ac-
ton has closed fifteen of the city's
leading bakeries and about seventy
smaller ones with resultant de-
crease of about 100000 loaves of
Chicago's daily bread supply, and a
delegation of employers, conferred
with Mayor Thompson. After the
conference it was announced that
both sides had asserted an intention
to fight 1t out. A second conference
with the mayor will be held tomof-
row, however, and hope was express
ed that a middle ground might be
reached.
AS a result of the rush upon small
err bakeries unaffected by the strike
several of them attempted to equal
lie distribution by selling only ONE
loaf to a customer while others de-
creased the size Of the loaf.
Robert W. Childs, special United
States district attorney, began an in
vestigation late today to determine
whether the strike was In violation Of
war measures, It being asserted no
interference with government ship
ping Of supplies would be permitted.
