 ATTACK

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Dec. 3.-Employing great forces of infantry in succeeding waves and under terrific artillery concentra. ton, the Germans today made sec. ond attempt to pierce the British de- lenses in the Gonnelieu sector. The British, strongly reinforced, were meeting the onslaught firmly at all points, according to the latest reports at ? o'clock this afternoon. The bat tie was along a considerable front, from Lavacquerie southward toward Vandhuile. The Germans succeeded in entering Lavacquerie, but were i'm mediately ejected In the course of the day, the attack spread northward toward Masnieres. It was one of tre- mendous herceness.
 Enemy Repulsed.
 LONDON, Dec. 3-From Gone lieu to Marcoing, Field Marshal Haig's report from France says, the enemy has delivered attacks in great strength and has been repulsed with heavy losses.
 General Byng is regaining bit by bit the ground won by the Germans at SO heavy a cost last Friday in the Cambrai battle, now characterized as the heaviest attack ever delivered on the British by the German arpries. except in the case of the first of Ypres.
 The front on the northerly side of the Cambrai salient having remained virtually intact under the German inn pact. it IS in the region to the south west of Cambrai that the British have been centering their efforts in the rectihcation process.
 American engineers operating and building railroads within the British lines near Gouzacourt, southwest of Gonnelcu, were caught in the first rush of the German attack. Many sought shelter in shell holes from which they were rescued by British counter attacks. The engineers aided the British in withstanding the enemy attacks and went on patrol duty at night. Several were captured but later managed to escape.
 On mos. of the Italian front the in- fantry remains virtually inactive while the artillery is engaged in vio- lent bombardments especially along the Piave river

Europe's Meat Supply Must Come

Warning Nations Have Depleted Live

territory approximately 100000
head were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One Of the
reasons apparently Ii the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September.

larry, $14.40 The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle -
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14.S07 600 head of
cattle in 1913. she now has only H.
341, 500, a decrease Of 1876 per cent.
And France IS today producing only
one gallon Of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because Of the lack Of necessary feed.

tee theories upon. The poor brutes
are used good deal as guinea pigs

hand, at the experiment stations are
to be found many of the finest ami
mails ever bred
The mixed feeds OF the first grade
can be fed alone or in connection with
homegrown corn, oats or barley. To
do this widens your ration, and 1t is
correct to do so II 1t will reduce your
