CORN AND PROVISION
PRICES TAKE Il DROP
Pork Off S2.1o a Barrel on Early Quo
tations-Ribs and Lard Slump
Rapidly.

Chicago, Oct l2- For the third success
sive day the provision market yesterday
underwent setbacks in prices that were
sharp to degree seldom equalled. In
addition to previous breaks, pork yester-
day dropped more than $2.35 barrel.
Lard and ribs fell Sl.50 or more a hun
dred pounds. Urgent liquidations by
holders and nearly complete lack of de-
mand made extreme weakness inevitable
The chief impetus to sell apparently
came from government efforts to com
pei cheaper prices for food.
January delivery, the most active OPP
tion, tumbled as low as $4095 for pork
as against S43.30 at Wednesdays finish.

British Troops Resumed In
fantry Attack on Six
Mile Front
AGAIN PROGRESS
IS SATISFACTORY"
The Attack Was Delivered
Northeast of Ypres
This Morning

"The British steam roller goes up hill
very slowly, but it is now going down
hill, and battles are following each other
more and more rapidly" said Major Gen
eral Maurice, director of operations, at
the British war Office yesterday.
The truth of this assertion was driven
home less than "a hours later by the be-
ginning this morning of another British
attack in Flanders. Only three days had
elapsed since the last attack made on
Tuesday. Tuesdays push was launched
after four day pause and previously
intervals of week or more had elapsed
between the British attacks.
Another notable fact in connection
with the present series of drives is that
each is now apparently being made re-
gardless of weather conditions. One good
day for the airplanes' observation was
enough for the British in this instance to
get their ranges, launch their drum
fire, drop their barrage and push their
attack through mud and the renewed
rainfall.
There is no indication that the French
forces on the British left, which pushed
forward approximately a mile in Tues
days attack, are participating in to-
days advance.
London, Oct. l2.-The British troops
in Flanders attacked the Germans this
morning on front of about six miles,
northeast of Ypres, and they are re-
ported to be making satisfactory prog
ress. Rain fell heavily during the night. |
An official report from Field Marshal
Haig says the attack was commenced
at 525 this morning.
Last nights delayed official report |
told of heavy artillery fighting and
stated that three German airplanes We're
destroyed and two others were driven
down out of control, while the British
lost four machines.

TRAGEDY OF COLORED.

If the black man loafs in the
south, he starves. If he works
in the south, he is poorly paid,
more or less in kind chips and
whetstones-and his wife be-
comes a ''pan toter." If he leaves
his low estate in the south and
goes to, work in northern in
dustry, he is mobbed and killed.
He was brought to these
shores from Africa a captive. He
is held by his captors in econ
omic bondage today forbidden
to rise above the lowest serving
c.ass. He is herded by himself
in a whetto, and if, while he is
there, he revert to the jungle
type, he is burned alive. If he
tries to break out of his ghetto,
and, by assimilating the white
mans civilization, rise, he is
driven out by his white brothers.
II he goes to school he be-
comes discontended, and is I'M
happy and dissatisfied with his
social status. If he does not go
to school and remains ignorant,
he, is then only a "coon," whom
everybody exploits, and who has
to cheat and swindle in return,
or &C down in poverty to beg
ging and shame. There aren't
ships enough in the world to
take him back to the land of his
freedom; there isn't room enough

|ticularly persistent bacillus were
to get into his system ii spite
of al precautions it would find
him IN such superb condition
that its work would be futile.
The high commands have thor
oughly learned the lesson, that
lit does not pay to train man
to be soldier and then lose him
from a cause that is in the least
degree preventable.
BY this same token, expert
ence, both in the protection OF
the soldier and in the care Of
the wounded, is steadily reduc-
ing the death rate asi the war
progresses. Not only are new
tactics constantly being devel-
oped which result in less expos
ure of the individual soldier, but
he is constantly being better
equipped with defensive appara-
tus to minimize the effects OF
bullet or shrapnel or gas attack.
Finally, from many classes OF
wounds which would have spelled
probable death in 1914 and GER
tin Gripping in 1915, recovery,
thanks to Carrel and others, now
lis almost a matter of course.
Of course, the mortality var
| les with the work done. 1t is
asserted, and we have seen no
authoritative denial that the
death rate among the petty Of
ficers, from lieutenant down, is
high. On the other hand a man
connected with the heavy field
artillery is just about as safe as
| if he were doing railroad work
at home. And so it goes. On
the whole, it seems clear that
there is not the slightest justi-
fication for the cries of the busy
calamity howlers that 'the boys
who go to France will never re-
turn"
The drafted man who goes as
an ordinary soldier, taking his
judgment with him and leaving
| his excessive enthusiasm behind,
has every chance of coming back
and in better physical condition
than when he left.-Scientific

A KICKER FOR SURE.

There once was kicker who
lived in town and what was
built up he would try to kick
down. He would kick at the
sidewalk and kick at the street
and kick at the neighbor he hap
pened to meet. He would kick
at the church and kick at the
school, kick at the sage and kick
at the fool. He would kick at
the merchant and kick at the
preacher, kick at the doctor and
kick at the teacher. He would
kick at the country and ali OF
it's breeds, kick at the Yankees
and kick at the SWedes, kick at
Norwegians, Irish and Dutch,
kick at the English and kick at
the Scotch, kick at an Indian
and kick at the coon, kick at the
sun and kick at the moon, kick
at the comet and kick at the
stars, kick at the railroads and
kick at the cars. He woul kick
at the rain and kick at the snow
and a kick was coming where
ever he'd go; kick when he was
well, kick when he was sick and
all the year round it was klckety
kick. So they tied up the kicker
one day in a shed and close up
behind him mule then was led,
and the mule kicked the kicker,
and the kicker kicked the mule,
as if they were running q high
kicker school. They kicked and
they kicked till both were out
of breath, then kicked till they
knocked each other to death.
When the kicker was gone the
people took heart gave the old
town another good start, but
some you will find who are will
ing to bet that on a far away
shore he is kicking there yet

TRENCH MORTALITY.
of Soldier and Better
Care of Wounded Reduces
Death Rate.

Readers whose relatives and
friends have been called in the
draft should get considerable
comfort from a study of the NOR
tally statistics of the European
armies recently put forward by
a well-known Boston statistician.
While his figures are not so fav-
orable as those given out from
Paris indicating That all kinds
of permanent losses killed, cap
tured, missing and disabled-ag-
gregate but 3 per cent per an
mum of the effective forces en-
gagged, they are nevertheless dis
tinctly encouraging.
He finds that about 60 men
per 1000 are being killed and
$50 wounded, and that a very
large portion Of the latter re-
turn to the trenches. This, nat
urally, is not to be compared
with the normal death rate in
time of peace of men Of military
age, which is but eight per l.
900, but it is immeasurably bet
ter than our amateur and pro-
fessional pessimists would have
us believe, and a vast improve-
ment upon the showing of any
previous war.
For one thing, disease has
been SO thoroughly eliminated
that sick man is a curiosity.
The soldier at the front is GER
tainly less liable to attack by
disease than if he were at home.
Everything he eats and drinks
and wears, almost everything he
touches, is subject to the finest
medical supervision Of which sci
ence is capable; and if any par
