VEIL DRAWN OVER

Something Big May be Go.
ing on There To-
day.

Field Marshal Haig is extremely la.
comic in his dispatch today from the
British front in France and Belgium
nothing to report except the usual
artillery activity on both sides" is the
essence of IT.
The warnings yesterday from the
newspaper correspondent at the front
that nothing ned be expected from
them for the time being read in this
connection tends TO create an air OF
tenseness with the possibility seen Of
big events impending.
Military observers not on the spot
however seem at sea over the pro5a.
bility. The intervals since Wednesday
big attack appears too short for the
launching OF another extended ocen.
sive movement in Flanders and there
have been no visible signs Of prepara.
tons for drive in any other sector.
The possibility exists too that the vel
which has been drawn over activities
along the fighting line is only intend.
ed to cover up some new disposition OF
entente forces until the change is com
pleted.
The comparative quiet that has prc.
vailed for the last few days on tho
French front is continuing. Only the
artillery has ben at all active chiefly IN
the Verdun region east OF re Meuse.
In this section. however, the gun fire
reached violent piech last night, Par.
is reports today.

vEcErARiANs URGE
A MEATLEss DIET

MANCHESTER, England, Nov. 90
The experience of the present war
should result in the general adoption
Of the meatless diet" says the annual
program adopted by the Vegetarian So
ciety Of Great Britain. which has just
closed its annual convention here.
In his presidential address, Prof. Err
nest Bell spoke Of the many hundreds
of millions of men and women who are
now obtaining living out of the
slaughter of animals and fish," and
suggested that one of the social results
Of general adoption of vegetarianisn
would be that these people would turn
to more humane and edifying work
He added, "at time like this, when
food is a most serious problem, It is
monstrous to devote Ga pounds of dry
grain to the production of one pound
Of beef"
Bernard Shaw, in letter to the con
vention. said that he had been a vege
tartan for forty years. and spoke of the
meat diet as relic of cannibalism.
