Patriotic Economy

Patriotic economy means the elimination of waste
and extravaganza. 1t means the conservation OF our
food products, our natural wealth. health, our
energies our labor our very lives. 1t means putting
more efficiency in everything do SO that each unit
of money! energy and intelligence may accomplish the
utmost.
Patriotic economy does not mean the lowering OF
Americas standard of living, which would make us
less efficient physically and mentally nationally and IN
dyidualv aud would kill the spirit and the Will to do
the truly sef-Sacrifcing things to be done.
Cities and communities must go with their
civic improvements Road building and public works
must proceed Railroads must their equipment
Factories must be kept going to their full capacity.
abor must be employed Homes must be kept up.
Merchandise must be produced, distributed and used.
War duties and war expenditures must be in addI-
ton to peace duties and peace expenditures Inc
more we do the more do. The more money
we spend the more will have in our pockets to
spend. Money creates money
In word the natural sane life OF the country must
proceed as though ICE not at 7ca IN order that zee
man haze the necessary prosperity TO promote inc sdT 10
quick and successful conclusion.
President Wilson sounds the keynote in this SEN
tence at is evident to every thinking man that our
industries on the farm in the Shpyards, in the mines,
lin the factories must be made prolific and more
efficient"
Our industries can be made more prolific only If
the people buy and use the merchandise produced by
our industries. Manufacturing Slackens when business
sackenS. Manufacturing grows IN prolific way when
business grows. And business grow and remain
heathful only when the people buy and keep money
in circulation.

Indian Troops Victorious
in Sharp Battle in
Mesopotamia
Advance in Palestine
English, Aided by Warships,
Smash Trenches, Move
on GAIA

London, April 20.-Disaster for the
Turks on two fronts was officially re-
ported here to-day In Mesopotamia,
seventy miles north of Bagdad, General
Maude routed the 18th Ottoman Army
Corps and took more than 1900 pris-
oners. In Palestine, before GAIA, the
forces Of General Dobell, assisted by
warships operating from the coast two
miles away, cleared the Turkish for
ward trenches on a front Of six and a
half miles and are now advancing on
the city.
General Maude's victory was the re-
suit of the thanking movement of a
week ago, in which he drove the Turks
back from the Dala triangle after a
! brilliant night march across the desert
| from the right bank of the Tigrs. Now
he has crossed the Adhem, another
tributary Of the Tigris, and there ap-
parently is little to stop a victorious
Russo British march upon Mosul.
Except for the capture of the heavy
Turkish artillery, which was prevented
by the heat-exhaustion of General
Maude's cavalry. the British success
was complete. The Adhem line was
/ held by a detachment of the Turks
18th Corps. On the night of April II
/ General Maude's troops thrust aside
these patrols and forced a passage Of
the stream, and the next morning at
tackled the enemy's main position at
the Istabulat station, about twelve
miles southeast of Samara.
The engagement did not last long.
The dash of the British Indian troops
was irresistible, and the Turks were
utterly routed. On the 18th the COM
mander telcgraphed that prisoners
were still being brought in, but that
q officers and 1,217 of the rank and
file had been counted, together with
half dozen machine guns. The total
British casualties we're seventy-three.
Below GAIA the British Egyptian
forces are laying a railroad up the
coast, with the capture of Jafa and
Jerusalem as the objects. Early IN
March the Turks suffered severe re-
pulse before the ancient capital Of the
Philistines, by which the British were
enabled to establish their line straight
across Palestine to El-Chalil, or Heb
ron. Considerable territory has since
been added to the British occupation,
but in minor engagements. The action
which is now in progress appears to be
! the final assault on GAIA.
Egyptian headquarters te!egraphed
/ on April II that the advanced Turkish
trench system had been overrun and
consolidated, an operation in which the
raking Are from British cruisers in the
Mediterranean had greatly assisted.
With GAIA in British hands, the next
step forward will be a general move
ment of the whole line upon Jerusalem
and Jaffa, the port Of the capital.

Ottawa. April 2O.-New facts and de-
tails concerning the difficulties which
confronted the troops of Canada IT,
their capture of Vimy Ridge on April
9 were disclosed in an official statement
received tonight from the Canadian
War Records Office in London. Is
pecial tribute is paid to the troops OF
the extreme left, who not only facei
stubborn resistance when they reaehed
the German second line, but were sun
jected to a fierce fire from the rear
from Teutons who had emerged from
tunnels and reoccupied their hrst llhe;
AT $3.50 on Monday morning, April
O." the statement says, the great at
tack was launched with terrllc hre
from our massed artillery and from,
many field guns in hidden advanced
positions. Our heaviest bomoarded
the enemy positions on and beyond th@
ridge, and trenches, dugouts, emplac =
ments and roads which for long had
been kept in continual state OF de-
spair by our fire we're now smashed 70

shrapnel from our field guns, strength .
ened by the indirect fire OF hundreds OF
machine guns, was laid along the front
At the same moment the Canadian
troops advanced in line in three waves
