The opening of the navy's new

Whenever a soldier is ready to go
to Europe-that is, when he is
trained an equipped in every other
way-a modern rifle will be ready
for him.
To bring about economy in theii
use the Swedish government has, by
ryoal decree, requisitioned the sup
plies of wheat, rye, oats, mixed grain
vetches, peas, beans and sugar beets

Sugar represents an entirely diff
ferent problem for the food admins

the fact that about so per cent of the
sugar we consume is imported from

great assistance to the government.
Owing to various considerations
there has been but limited appro-
priation by the government for cleri-
cal assistants to local exemption
boards, so that the work of obtain
ing men for the national army under
the selective service law must ne
cessarily fall upon volunteer workers
men and women.
Unless the local board secure ade-
quate volunteer clerical assistants,
they will be unable to continue the
performance of their work
1t is not to be expected that this
plan will be followed in detail. 1t
may, of course, be necessary to modi
fly it to a considerable degree in or
der to conform to the exigencies OF
the local situation.
But before the local boards pro
coed to further examinations fol
coming drafts, if an effective organi
cation has not already been perfect
ed, steps should be taken to this
end.

Through squalls of rain and under
low-hanging clouds Field Marshal Haig
is blazing the way with his artillery
for another raid into the German line
in Flanders.
Since the great advance of the mid
die week the British infantry has kept
to the trenches and shell craters, ex-
cept where forays were made to re-
align the new front, of counter attacks
were necessary to hold back weak Ger
man attempts to recapture lost terri
tory.
The big guns never ceased their ac-
tivity, and day in and out great masses
of steel have been blasting the Ger
man points which are mapped out for
capture when the new drive is
launched.
When the new offensive will be
sprung can not be predicted.
Crown Prince Repulsed.
The army of the German crown
prince in Champagne again has en-
deavored to penetrate the French
lines, but again has failed with con-
siderable losses in men killed or made
prisoner.
Comparative quiet prevails on the
northern portion of the front in Rus
STA and along this line of Rumania. In
Rumania, however, the Russians in an
attack for the west of town of Sc
reth captured a portion, made prison
ers of 762 men and also took seven ma
chine guns. Under a heavy artillery
fire the Russians later were compelled
to evacuate the position.
Daily the Italians and Austrians are
engaged in battles for supremacy on
the slopes of Monte San Gabrielle in

the Italians captured enemy positions
on the northern slopes and also took
prisoners.

Make Appeal for Food

The food administration ISSUES
the following:
Most of the big things in our con-
nection with the war have been ac-
complished by the typically American
device of devoting a special week to
a particular thing and making a ma
tional drive upon it. We have had
liberty loan week, Red Cross week,
and volunteer week.
And now, food pledge week, be-
ginning October 81.
For seven days the press and ev-
cry possible organization in the coun-
try will be directed to the single end
of getting the signatures pf every
man, woman and child in the United
States at the bottof of the food
Everybody in the country has heard
pledge. Everybody in the country has
heard something of food saving and
understands it as one one of the four
biggest services necessary to win the
war. Everybody is more or less kind
" disposed toward food saving-aIid
hopes that the other fellow is carry
ing out the provisions of the food adj
ministration, and intends to adopt the
wheatless and meatless meal himself
before long.
But now the time has come to sign
up and do all these necessary things
At the end of food pledge week the
membership of the United States food
administration should be 100 per cent
of the people of the nation.
Be ready to "do your Bit that
week. 1t will be the biggest sort OF
business because it is to help win
the war.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

The lumber market continues to
hold along restricted lines, largely
due to the impossibility of supplying
foreign demands, but values are be-
ing held with comparative firmness,
because of the moderate operations
of the mills.
Financial conditions, as reflected
by bank statements, are on an eX-
cellent basis throughout the Pacific
Northwest, and collections are fairly
well maintained. The crop movement
is also stimulating demands in agri-
cultural sections, but the settlement
of labor difficulties, which continue
to obtrude themselves, would prove
a helpful influence, both in the local
and general situation.
The grocery market was active
with a number of quotable changes
Sugar declined 65 points on this mar

reduction being 40 cents per barrel
