BRITISH WIPED OUT.
Germans Used Allied Tactics in Belgian
Sand Dunes.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, July 1.-THE German attack
along the sand dunes Of the Belgian
coast on Tuesday evening was in nearly
all respects a miniature of the British
attack on the Messines ridge on June {.
II seemed as if the Germans had studied
that battle in detail and planned their
thrust wholly upon the lessons learned.
There was a vast difference in the size
of the two operations, however, for
while the Germans attack of Tuesday
was limited to 400 wards the British
charge at Messines was along ten mile
line
The depth of the two attacks was also
in the ratio of 10 to | the Germans hav-
| ing advanced only 600 yards, or to the
British support line, where they are now
cndeavoring to intrench themselves,
while the British have fallen back to the
west bank of the User.
This battle line on the sands OF
Flanders will live largely through the
valorous defense of the English troops

In New York Merchants to Buy Direct

NEW YORK, July l4.-Food direct
from the farm to the east side, eliminat-
ing the speculator, was planned here
today al a meeting of legislators, judges
and business men at which several thou
sand dollars was raised as an initial
fund. Grocers and merchants are to
be organized into a zone system, each
contributing to a weekly purchasing
fund to buy direct from farmers through
the state commissioner of markets. This
food would be distributed pro rata
among merchants in the zone and sold
to consumers at price allowing fair
profit but eliminating spccuator s prof
