London Two mighty blows by
British men and guns shook 10 lts
foundations the German defense OF
the entire northern half OF the Hin
denburg line. Field Marshal Haig an
nounced that the line had been broken
at one point and that the British
"have advanced astride the linden
burg line" for several miles.
This statement reveals plainly the
tremendous possibilities OF the British
victory at Arras. The British have
actually turned the great Hindenburs

the eighth wonder Of the world, i'm

Arras. The Canadian can see them
from Vimy ridge. In that region the
Germans have only one single line
left, not yet completed, nowhere near
as strong as the positions the British
have taken in the last five days. The
fires indicate they intend to give it up.
Ii was this hammering which de-
moralized the German lines on the
Somme during the winter and brought

Hindenburg line, stretching from Ar

the top of rhis line has been

OF the airplane activity, when the
British flyers deliberately set out to
clear the air OF Germans, has been
revealed in the new attacks.
The intrepid airmen are covering
the advance everywhere, keeping the
troops advised OF enemy movements
and enabling the British artillery to
shell every area where concentration
appeared to be taking place.
The Canadians triumphantly an
hounced that the famed Vimy Ridge
had been cleared OF all Germans.
Vimy was one OF the vaunted Ger

"strategical reasons" which would
call for giving 1t up. More than three
thousand Germans in the Vimy gar

holding up their hands over the bod

The number of German prisoners

have counted over 100 guns, among
them number OF Krupp monsters

he says as to The Anne rican diet
is undoubtedly true of the c0un
try as a whole, hnt Dr. Gartl-
sons letter points to a very real
danger IL that among the poorer
classes in the South the high
price of other food will force I'D
on them diet conSi ting largely
of rice This being so, h propo-
sal to encourage the use of IN
polished rice seems to us well
worth taking I'D
This applies almost exclu-
sively to the Southern states. and
we believe that any steps taken
to encourage the use of unpolish
ed rice would have to be in the
form of an educational campaign
in the South We do not think
it would be advisable to issue
any order, or to attempt to i'm
pose any rigid restriction upon
the preparation of polished rice.
So far as the desired end can
be accomplished by persuading
manufacturers to place unpolish
ed rice on the market, and per-
suading people to buy it. we will
be glad to help the movement
by adding the weight of the Food
Administrations approval to
such argument as can be pre-
sented in support of this plan. "
