FRENCH AND BRITISH
BOTH REPORT GAINS

without regard to the highly unfa
vorable weather conditions prevail
ing and in surprisingly short tim,
after the successful British thrust OF
last weeek the British and French
forces in Belgium have launched an
other heavy attack on the German
lines
The blow fell early today in the
region east and northest of Ypres
where Crown Price Rupprecht's lines
had already been dangerously bent
back by the previous British thrusts
The British commander earlv re-
| ported satisfactory progress on all
parts of the front of the attack which
he announced was made "in coniunc-
ton with our allies on our left"
Shortly afterward the Paris official
statement indicated clearly that the
French forces IN Flanders were those
alluded to by the British commander
ln-chief. The launching of an at
tack In concert with the British was
announced and the favorable develon-
ment of the attack reported.
IL mas been pointed out that with
the salient parts of the Passchendael-
Cheluvelt ridge in their hands as the
result of their success last week. the
British were in an admirable posi-
ton to push further cas-; towards the
Menin-Roulers railway line. This in
valuable line pi communication for
the Germans between their basis in
southwestern Belgium and northern
France and their Belgium coast posi-
tions was already commanded bv the
British guns. The renewed push is in
the directions "f this line, which be-
fore this mornings attack began was
about five and onc-half miles distant
from the point Of the British wedge
at Broodseindc.
Numerous indications have been
found, according to reports from the
Flanders front, that the German NOR
ale in this sector had notably deteri
Grated under the crushing blows of
the British and their overwhelming
artillery superiority. Lack of the
former vigor in the German counter
attacks and their comparative intro
quency are cited as corroborative Of
this.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

| washington, Oct. 9.-V:rtually all
the staple foods consumed by the
American people will be put under
government control November /. The
food administration announced to-
night that within few days Presi-
dent Wilson will issue an executive
order requiring that manufacturers
and distributors of some 20 funda-
mental foods operate under license
restrictions designed to prevent un-
reasonable profits and to stop specu-
lation and boarding.
Regulations will be prescribed for
meat packers, cold storage houses
millers, Gamers, elevators, grain deal
ers and wholesale dealers and retail
ers doing business of more than
100000 annually in the commodi-
ties to be named.
lhe prime purpose of the food adj
ministration," the announcement said
lis to protect the patriot against the
Stacker in business. 1t has generally
been recognized that the enormous
obligations imposed on the American
people to feed our soldiers at tbe
front and the allies creates a disturb
ing factor in trade which allows on-
portunity to few to impose burdens
upon the many and that it is of vital
national Importance that such con-
troll should be exertcd as will remedy
so far as may be, the economic dis
turbances incident to the war"

An Argument for Pork

Compare your pig with the cali. At
Blk months, any one of the eight pigs
your sow has farrowed is worth at
least as much as a calf of the same
age-and they are eight in compari-
son. If you raise two litters. the
ratio is sixteen to one. (Apologics to

STREET CAR BOSSES WARD OFF
POSSIBLE DAMAGE SUIT
The street car company acts swift
ly. when it believes itself in danger of
alaWsuit. Today the company was
allowed to tamper with the machin-
cry of the police dept and have the
name OF a woman, arrested on COM
plant of a street car conductor, re-
leased and her name scratched from
the record. They took no chances on
a false arrest suit.
The woman was Mrs. Regina Mi
chaelczky, 3O45 Blanche. She said
she got on an Elston av. car at 9Th
av. and Lake and gave the conductor
a half-dollar and that he gave her
only 40 cents change. When she
called his attention he insisted he
gave her As cents. An argument
followed. He tried to put her off,
she says. She struck him and he
had her arrested. She was taken to
Central Detail and booked on dis
orderly conduct charge.
A few moments later a representa-
tive of the Chicago Surface Lines
sped up to the station in an auto. He
held talk with the lieutenant. The,
woman was released, her name
scratched off the book and she was
told it was all a mistake. {
P. Sit is not reported that she
got her nickel back.
