While the rain and morass have
served to hold the entente allied forces
in leash, preventing a resumption of
the great offensive of Tuesday, they
have not been effective in keeping the
Germans from throwing counter at
tacks with large forces of men against
several newly won sectors of the front
held by the British and French troops,
nor in bringing about cessation of
the violent artillery duel along the en-
tire line.
Crowh Prince Rupprecht evidently
considers the British gain northeast of
Ypres the most important made in
Tuesdays battle, for upon this terri
tory he has concentrated the strong
est of his counter offensive operations
in the attempt to regain the lost
ground His efforts, however, have
gone for naught, the British artillery
and infantry fire raking the advancing
forces niercilessly, putting an end to
the attacks and adding materially to

Back Yard Gardens n
Cut Down Food Cost

something which even the most inex-
penenced can carry out with an as
surance of success. Take planting, for
instance. Instead of planting seeds
one at time, as we did few years
ago, we can now plant whole row at
a time. The new way is to plant a
strip of seeds instead of handful of
seeds. This may sound queer if you
have not been following the recent de-
.velopments in the methods of seed
planting, but it is fact just the same.
Instead of buying package of loose
seeds, one now buys a roll of seed
tape, so that all that is necessary to
do Is to mark row and then plant in
1t strip of tape. This new method
enables the novice to plant his garden
quite as properly and scientifically as
inexperienced gardener.
eThe advantages of this new method
of planting are that the planting itself
is so much easier, being rid of it's
back-breaking labor; no thinning out
is necessary because the seed is prop
erly spaced in the tape and the care
fully selected seed practically assures
full termination.

Tidal Wave Of Morality
Rolls Over Our City

-
During this ware Of publication
and sanctifcation that seems to have
struck the police department a solar
plexus blow, we submit that now that
they have commenced it wouldn't it be
the proper thing to extend the order
to include those walking monstrosities
of the male persuasion who live on the
ill-gotten gains of these more or less
unfortunate women? What is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the gander
in this instance. And there are other
side lines to this game, too; fact
perhaps known to the city council, the
mayor, the police department and to
every citizen of the city. We refer to
the street-wall2ers who mask under
the guise Of semi-respectaDility, and
who are far more dangerous ele-'
ment of society than the woman who
conducts her ,nefarious business open
~. When you come to examine into
the ramifcations of this business crit
ically you are constrained to say: "Let
him who is without sin amongst you
throw the first brick" or words to
that effect. If we are to have a cIean-
up let us have a thorough cleanup
no half measures. The individuals
above referred to are by far the most,
dangerous element in the city. Pin the

!. WANT AMERICAN FOOD

l SHIPPING TO u. S.

Washington, Aug. Full informa-
.tion concerning food conditions in the
portheln neutral countries has been
asked Of the United States in notes
handed to their diplomatic representa-
lives.
The American governments plans
Tor rationing the neutrals through its
control Of exports will be finally deter
gained after replies are received. The
infornlation sought concerns the exact
food needs of those countries, their
food production capacity and details
of their export trade of the last few
years.
The intention of the United States
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1917-08-03

is that only actual food deficiencies
will be made up from America and
assurances will be demanded that no
American-produced food is re-export-
ed to Germany or used to supplant
food that is exported.
Norway Ready to Release Ships.
Norways' case was put before this
government today by Dr.. Ffidljof
!
sion, who declared his country, facing
starvation, was ready to release a
million tons of shipping in return for
the privilege of importing food. Nor
way, DR.. Nansen said, needs sugar,
fats and grain and will guarantee
that none of these things are sent
into Germany.
The Dutch government, too, is
willing to exchange ships for food,
but does not want Dutch ships sent
into the submarine zone.
Mr.. Van Rappard, the Dutch minis
ter, said also that his government was
ready to devote $4,000 tons to the
transportation of relief to the Bel
gians if the United States will allow
Holland to have foodstuffs for her own
use.
Holland Has 100000 Tonnage.
The Dutch merchant marine con-
sists of about 100000 tons. Hol-
lands unwillingness to have her ships
go into the danger zone, the minister
said, was because of her colonial
trade.
1t is understood the new export reg
ulations issued by the Swedish gov
eminent today, the purpose of which
is to prevent brass, lead, copper,
nickel and other base metals leaving
the country, will be followed by SINH
lar orders from the other Scandina-
Wan countries, and by Holland.

ARE $40 EACH IN AUSTRIA

Washington, Aug. 2.-The food adj
ministrator today gave out the follow
ing statements regarding prevailing
food prices an conditions in Austria
and Hungary:
Reports from Budapest, Hungary
reaching here indicate that the popu--
lation of the provinces have been not
far from famine conditions. The ma
jority of the people actually live on
vegetables, for meats is only for the
very rich and the vegetable supply is
seemingly very limited.
'"The information received stated
that green peas are selling at S145 a.
kilogram OK pcunds1. Milk was abb
solutely not to be had for cream
SKINNED milk cost so cents pint
There was no butter or cheese. Cher
ries were So cents per pound. Thee
principal stock seemed to consist of
dried peas and dried plums. Youngg
chickens were selling at $3.50. In the
egg market were found only empty
boxes. Potatoes were not to be had.
Called press advices from Austria
received during the past few days in-
dictate that an even worse conGiitio1a
now prevails. The reports state that
luncheon cannot be purchased in any
restaurant for less than SIS. Three.
pounds Of meat for SIS, olive oil $1Os
per quart, butter SIS per pound andl
chickens at $40 each are some of the.
prices quoted"

GREAT GUNS
FOR u. S. ARMY

AS fighting is done in Europe now
an army without adequate artillery
would be annihilated-it could not be
taken to the firing line. Therefore
Secretary Baker asks an appropriation
of two billion dollars for artillery,
stating that no big guns have accom-
panied our army to France and it will
use the reserve guns accumulated by
the French for their own needs. But
even with two billion dollars no sup
ply of modern guns will be available
for many months-at present we have
only 600 while the French and Eng
lish armies have $4,000 and we pro-
pose to send an army to compare with
theirs in number as well as efficiency.
Meantime it is proposed to use what
guns we have for practice until they
need repairs and then ship them to
France. where the rifing will be re-
newed for the use of French anmuni-z
ton. Gen. Crozier wishes to equip a
number of plants to manufacture forg-
ings and then send these to France for
finishing! Within year all our can
non will be sent to French shops and
we begin Immediately to construct
modern cannon at a cost of $4,000, 000,-
900, paying the highest prices" for
them, as the department admits.
Mr., Kitchin, majority leader in the
house, says no additional taxes should
be imposed now because the limit has
been reached and to go further would
burden the poor beyond endurance-if
additional money is needed before next
session it should be raised on revenues
and excess profits. Does he not know
that labor and production must pay
these as well as the more direct taxes
levied on property? "The only posi-
Bile way to levy democratic tax"
says Mr.. Kitchin, "is to levy it on
ability to pay" That means additions
to the cost of living and this may be
increased SO that mans wages must
go for food and clothing. If the die
tum be true. how has the American
democracy lived all these years on an
undemocratic tax? Certainly the abil-
ity to pay has not been taxed as vet

committee appointed by George w.

FOOD WASTE
IN new YORK
IS ENORMOUS

More than five thousand tons of
food, valued at nearly $450,000, were
condemned by health inspectors dur
ing the six months ending July 1,
1917, according to an announcement
made by DR.. Lucius P. Brown, direc-
tor of the bureau of foods and drugs
of the health department.
The condemnations consisted of A.
100000 pounds of citrus fruits, 1,400,-
600 pounds of deciduous fruits, 653, 900
pounds of grapes, $4,000 pounds of
pineapples, 100000 pounds of veg
etables, $4,000 pounds of coffee and
spices, 1900 pounds of canned goods,
262, 900 pounds of assorted fruits and
vegetables, $4,000 pounds of meats,
$4,000 pounds of nuts and $4,000
pounds of miscellaneous supplies.
"While this total seems enormous,
said Dr.. brown, sit amounts to less
than two-tenths of one per cent OF
New York's total food supply. 1t will
be noted that most of the condemna-
tions were among perishable foods OF
relatively small food value.
"The large amount Of lemons and
oranges which were destroyed is to
be attributed directly to shipping
conditions.
"The greatest waste in food was
last January. This was due to the
fact that a barge containing cattle
was sunk in the river, whole ware
house full of coffee and prunes was
cleaned up and shipload of spoiled
fruit was received from abroad all in
one month. Since then the amount
of food destroyed has averaged about
I 100000 pounds a month
One reason for waste in New York
city at the present time is lack d
storage facilities. A fish dealer ii
Fulton Market reported to the depart
ment on Saturday that he had three
tons of fsh--yellow perch, carp ane

The marshal was asked by The Lead
er man this morning if all the women
Of the segregated district had gotten
away. He said all except a very few
,silo were packing up and asked for
a few hours longer to get their belong
ings together. Not desiring to be I'M

fair to drive them out and force them
to leave their household effects.

The Leader was told by one of them
that undoubtedly they would get ev-
cry woman Of i'll repute who came on
the streets to ply their Illegal calling.
This includes all the colored women
who have had the habit of coming out
in certain sections of the city at night.
One white woman from Tampa was
rounded up last night and taken before
the mayor this morning. She was
fined SIS and costs, but as we under
stand it, this was RENTED provided
she leave the city today, as the fact
that she was a dope fiend came out.
and if this dope were denied her she
probably would go insane. This was
the result of a little trick pulled off
by the special police last night.
