FRENCH ATTACK ALONG

tages. Last week the Germans made
q sharp local attack there, possibly
having learned of the French prepa-
rations and hoping to break them
up. For several days the French
have been conducting a terrific bonn
bardment of the German lines.
Italians Begin Battle
In the north the Germans made
a counter attack on the positions
taken yesterday by the British near
Epehy. London reports that the as
suit was repulsed completely. The
British line on the Ypres front has
been advanced slightly.
Heavy fighting is in progress on
the Italian front. The Austrian war
office announced yesterday that a
general offensive had been inaugu-
rated by the Italians on a thirty
seven mile front from the region of
Tolmino. to a point near the Adriatic
The Italian official statement of yes
terday did not mention the attack,
but press dispatches from Rome to-
day speak of the new Italian advance
and say the situation for Austria is
grave.
Another great aerial raid over Bel
gum was made by British airplanes
on Saturday night. Many tons of
bombs were dropped on various OBJ
jectives. The British airplanes re-
turned safely after battle with Ger
man machines, one of which was
shot down.

destroyers the builders could produce
would be ordered. Every effort of
the department will be made to speed
up on the large number of contracts
now pending.
Every aspect of shipbuilding that
bears upon destroyer production was
taken up at the conference. There is
no shortage of material or plant IA
cilities but a difficulty lies in obtain
ing high power engines, boilers and
reduction gear.
Secretary Daniels said no addi-
tional submarine chasers would be
ordered at present. The chasers are
valuable for harbor and in in-shore
patrol work, but the destroyers are
far superior even for these duties
and have in addition seagoing quail
ties which make them of far greater
value in all ways than the small
chaser.
Plan For Engines
Every suggestion that the ship or
engine builders had to make to-day
rs to additional motive power fol-
the destroyers was given close atten-
tion. The possibility of making some
of the new vessels with oil engines
was among the suggestions offered
AS to the plants at which the new
destroyers will be laid down, Secre-
tary Daniels said, he favored eX-
pansion of the plants now building
destroyers as the most efficient means
of speeding up. Experience gained
in previous building will enable such
plants to turn out new ships more
quickly, it is felt, than would be pos
sible for a new plant lacking that
experience.
Secretary Daniels decision shows
that the officers who have been con-
tending that the best answer to the
U-boats was to turn out an enor-
nous number of destroyers have car
ried their point. The experience of
all allied navies that the destroyer
is more deadly to submarines than
any other type of craft, is borne out
by reports from Vice-Admiral Sims,
founded on the actual experience of
American destroyers in European
waters.
Another aspect is the problem OF
furnishing conveys to troop and
supply ships, which will grow as
American forces in France are in
that destroyer conveys guarantee a
large degree of security from sub
marine attack. The thing needed, in
their view, is an adequate number of
destroyers to make certain that sup
ply lines are not interrupted. The
department apparently has approved
this view.
No figures have ever been made
public of the number of destroyers
now building. Secretary Daniels said
to-day, however, that they represent
the maximum capacity of the coun-
try as to the builders and engine and
boilermakers are at present equip
ped. To expand that capacity will
require the expansion of every exist
ing plant and the addition of new
engine and boiler works.

Canadians DraU In
On Lens After Hard
Battle With Germans

Canadian Headquarters in France,
Aug. 2O.-Northwest of Lens. amidst
the trenches and railway cuttings
which form the last line of German
defense in that quarter, the Canadians
have succeeded in establishing strong
posts in special trench which was
the scene of desperate and indecisive
lighting two days ago.
These new posts give command of
the last bit of ground from which the
defenders of the city could overlook
the advance from the west. They are
now in hollow all around the front
which swings about Lens in semioir-
cular form.
The eastern exits from the city are
now subjected to a constant and har-
assing fire of the artillery and ma
chine guns. This makes the bringing
up of provisions and supplies of am
munition very difficult At 2 o'clock
this morning a trench raid on the
enemy's front northwest of Avion re-
suited in heavy fighting in the course
of which a considerable number OF
the enemy were killed in hand-to-
hand fighting.

framed pictures for the buildings,
and especially books. These should
include not only high-grade fiction
and works Of classical authors, but
also biography. history, books on ma
tions of Europe, on the present war
and on engineering and scientific
subjects, especially motors, wireless,
aeroplanes, etc.
These may all be sent by parcel
post to George b. lands, camp edu-
cational secretary, Augusta, Ga, who
will distribute them to the best ad-
vantage or in accordance with the
request of the donors when such is
made.
Or since the Young Mems Chris

Il slept poorly too and would wake

first because so many people asked
me to direct them to the Tanlac store
and there were so many of them that

and they were all so enthusiastic that
I was convinced that it would help
me.

this country, while the world supply
was diminished by 54,5OO,000. Hogs
increased 6.275,0 900 in America, but
the general supply decreased 32,-
425,000
Large Exports
During the year ending June 80,
1916, America exported 1889 1884,
600 pounds of meat as compared
with three year antebellum aver
age of 493,S4S,000 pounds. These
exports went chiefly to the allies,
whose capital stock of animals has
decreased S3.0O0.0OO head.
Although the European countries
have drastically reduced meat con-
sumption among war workers." says
the statement, this saving has been
overcome by the greatly increased
demands to supply men in the armies
and shops, and women who have
taken up physical labor. Millions
of individuals to whom fresh meat
twice a week was a luxury, are now,
by necessity of their extreme physi-
cal labors, eating it twice daily.
Supply JeopardiZcd
1.-THE war has injected into an
already difficult situation a number
of conditions which are jeopardizing
the ultimate animal products supply
of the world. The production of
fodder in Europe has been dimin-
ished by the diversion of productive
labor to war. and it's import has
been curtailed by shortage in
shipping and by the isolation of
markets by beIligerent lines.
"The problem facing America is
not only one of supplying the i'm
mediate demand of the allies, but
one which is more farreaching in it's
significance. AS the war goes on
the. will be a constant lessening of
the capital stock of the worlds food
animals. Among our western states
the demand outruns every day the
decreasing production, and as ship
ping becomes further shortened by
submarine destruction, further de-
struction of the herds must ensue."
The food administration points
out that the only immediate solution
of the problem lies in reduction of
consumption and elimination of
waste.
