ing the newly won English positions
Berlin also sought to create the belief
that the British attack was over a
much wider front than was the case.
Official denial was made of all state
ments from Berlin concerning develop
ments in Flanders.
The French are keeping step with
the British in the Flanders thrust. The
French line is beyond Bixschoote, run
ming from the flooded area north of
Lizerne, across the Steenbeck, to a
point mid distance. between Bixschoote
and Langemarck. The poilus are play
ing mere prominent part in the pres
ent Flanders battle than in any other
engagement in this region for some

tien of the Flanders line since it was
established The presence of the French
in this region is largely for sentimental

broken and swung back, as the first
step toward liberation Of Belgium, it
is desired that French troops have a

lone DELIVERY DAILY
MAY Be GIVEN TRIAL
Merchants Discuss 1t and
Also the Question of
Solicitors Cards

One delivery day and the vexing
question as to whether a church should
have card from the Business Mem
League of Salem before business men
contribute to solicitors were the two
propositions discussed last evening al
the called meeting of the Mercantile
department OF the Commercial club.
The one delivery day, now in force
in so many cities as an economic propo-
sition, met general approval. While the
merchants approve of the idea, there is
feeling that it win not become general
unless every business concern in the
city signs an agreement to that effect
In other words, no one house in the city
is willing to become the pioneer in the
one delivery system, fearing its com
petitor will take the advantage.
All agreed that the delivery system
had been abused and as one merchant
expressed it, 'this delivering of one
loaf of bread in the morning and an
other loaf to the same house in the af-
ternoon is all foolishness.
AT the meeting to be called for next
Tuesday evening, there will be con-
ference to determine whether the mer-
chants will stand together ON the one
delivery. If they win not, it is probable
Salem will continue in the old system
now being discarded. .
Too Much Soliciting.
The biggest bone of contention among
the merchants is the proposition Of con
tributing to every and all kinds Of
solicitors, whether with the approval of
the Business Men s league or not. It
seems that all business houses have
signed the constitution, which prohibits
promiscuous giving, but when delega-
tion from some church comes along, mer-
chants forget to ask whether a card
from the league has been granted.
Just what to do with those who are
members of the league yet do not live
up to its agreements, is the big prob
lem. Expulsion was suggested and others
thought fine for each violation might
be effective. Anyhow, at the meeting
next Tuesday evening, there will be an
effort made to get clear understand
ing as to whether merchants will con-
tribute to solicitors Of any kind or
whether card from the league will be
necessary. 1t seems that church people
who have been asking contributions
stirred up most of the trouble.
Ray Grant presented his resignation
as secretary of the Business Men g lea
que and Miss Gretta Richmond was
elected his successor, taking charge Of
the office September /.
