One of the best ways to conserve beef for the future would be for everybody to refrain from buying and eating veal. For one hundred pounds of veal a calf is slaugh- tered that would in three years pan out nearly a thousand pounds of beef It is estimated that fully one-third of the calves are slaughtered for veal, furnishing not more than onc-tcnth of the meat they would grow into in three or four years. Add one
 hird to the stock of cattle now available for meat purposes and there would be no necessity for mcatless days, and meat would be much cheaper than it is now. Also, veal is not great shakes, anyhow. It should be !egiSlatcd off our bills of fare.

Germans, for Treachery, Are
Met With Whitening Fire
Losses Heavy.

With the British Armies In France
and Belgium, Sept. 22.--By the Asso-
ctated Press.-Hard fighting developed
during the night at various points
along the front of the new British
offensive east of Ypres. as q result
of several heavy counter attacks by
the Germans. and generally speaking
the situation remained unchanged.
One of the heaviest counter attacks
made by the Germans during the night
was west of Gravcnstafcl ridge. The
enemy surged forward from an clcva-
ton in mass formation and hurled
themselves against the British along
a front OF nearly mile. II Is re
ported that the Germans advanced
under n white flag prior to the at
tack, and if they did they were fully
rewarded for their treachery. for they
were repulsed with heavy losses
| The, assault here was most deter
mined and sanguinary fighting fol

author of detective stories by point
ing out to him that the women he
seeks to divorce from their alien hus-

mans they forfeited automatically their
own right OF citizenship.
In America this is equally true. An
American woman can have no pa
triotism in her own right. All over
the world woman is without n country
of her own. since her citizenship must
take on the nationality Of the man she
