The Foo. Problem.

Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the food committee of the Council of Ma tional Defense. strongly advocated the government measures that give the president and the department of agri- culture direct control of the country's food resources. He also urged q more limited use of wheat in this country, and his talk on that topic was followed immediately by government report showing that the winter wheat crop will be only about 366,000,0 GOO bushels, the smallest since 1904 The acreage abandoned Is the largest on record.

Desperate Struggle in France.

The desperate battle for possession of the coal fields of Lens in northern France continued unabated through the week. Crown Prince Rupreeht' of Bavaria brought up great masses of reserve troops and every available gun to check the unceasing British attack, and on Tuesday he succeeded in re- taking Fresnoy village and wood. But that night and the next day the British returned to the assault and again took possession of most of the lost ground. There was heavy fighting at other points along the Drocourt-Queant line, which evidently is regarded by the Germans as of vital importance. Bad weather lessened the severity of the fighting along the French front
 The expected general offensive by the allies on the Macedonian front be- gan after several days of intense artil- lery activity and according to London adyiees it was fairly successful. Be- tween Lake Ochrida and Lake Doiran there was fierce fighting, the British capturing Bulgarian trenches for | StIelCit Ot tAO Iliit'fs Ill tiit teIlld river bend the Russians took several enemy trenches, and in the upper Mog- lenlea river valley the Serbians, fight ing to regain their own land, hit the Teutonic allies hard blows. As usual, Berlin claimed that all these attacks ] by the entente allies were repulsed.
 An interesting development of the week was the announcement that Ja- pan had been asked to supply ships for the transportation of American l troops and supplies to Europe, and the resulting discovery that Japan itself was planning to send large number of soldiers to the Russian front this summer.

Paris, july 1S.-The remaking of the
eye region through the transplanta-
ton of part Of the mucous membrane
and the grating of eyelids and lashes
are among the marvels Of plastic sur
gerry accomplished in France during
the war by DR.. Louis Borsch, the IA
iIous American oculist, who, since
August, 1914, has been chief ophthal-
mic surgeon at the huge Grand Pal
ais Military Hospital in Paris.
DIR. Borsch has just returned from
a trip to the trenches and field hos
pitfalls, which he made at the request
OF the Department of Health for the
purpose of advising as to the posi-
bility of improving existing methods
of treating wounds of the eye AID
saving the vision of the thousands Of
soldiers who in this latter phase Of
the war are suffering from such in
juries.
'Three years of constant daily ex-
perience in the treatment OF eye
wounds at the Grand Palais," said
DIR. Borsch on his return, has en-
abled me to witness very consider
able improvement in the methods EN-
ployed, and very gratifying results
are now being obtained. II we could
have taken up our task in 1914 with
the benefit of the experience we have
since acquired, our results would GER.
tainly have been more than 100 per
cent better.
1.-The enc great lesson We have
learned is that our chances of oper-
ating successfully in cases OF eye
wounds are enormously increased
when patients are wrought to Us i'm
mediately after they have received
their wounds. The same remark, of
course. applied to all wounds, and all
surgeons are insisted emphatically
upon the need for the lightning trans
portation of the wounded to hospital
"How we'll the heads Of the French
medical service realize this vii! be

working in first aid dugouts and in

which would not be surpassed in the

their praises of the treatment they
receive, and SO thorough and efficient
is it that | do not think 1t possible
