guns at &c: 80 were concentrated on
certain spots. Their firing was not
noticeably faster than before and
hardly louder than under ordinary
conditions of the Verdun cannonad-
ing-which is always intense.
Four hours later, in broad day light,
the poilus left their trenches. In an
astonishingly short time they had
swept over the surprised Germans
and passed beyond their detectives.
While they were consolidating, other
units followed behind, combing eight
hundred prisoners from rayines at
the foot OF Hill 304. which the at
lacking waves had passed over.
The French losses were insig-
nificant considering the magnitude of
the operation and its complete sue
cess. Although smaller than the
smashing verdun victory of last Aug
ust. the Sunday drive within few
wiped out advantage which
the enemy had gained only after two
months of continuous costly efforts
1t brought into French hands bit
of the German lines on the north
flank of Hill 344 which since the end
of August has enabled the enemy con-
stantly to nibble and seriously com
promise French operations.
Today the Germans had not made
any attempt at a re-captnre by in
fantry actions, although the German
artillery "strafing" was intense.

can armes in Europe and in feeding
this country's allies. The countries
fighting Germany need American food
stuffs as badly as Holland does. II
supplies are to be diverted to neutrals,
officials say, it is only fair America
should receive the use of neutral ships
in return. But the Dutch ship owners
were slow to heed American proposals.
With about 100 Dutch cargo carriers
in American ports tied up since the
embargo became effective, officials en-
deavored to charter some for hauling
Java sugar to the United States. The
ship owners sensing sugar famine in
this country, tried to force America to
give up wheat and refused the vessels
at any price. American officials pre-
ferred to let the people of this country
curtail their lavish use of sugar, know
ing the time would come when Hol-
landers could no longer do without
wheat.
An end Of the deadlock is believed
in sight, however American agents.
after months of investigation in Hol-
land and in other European neutral
countries have collected data, check
ing up their needs.
British embargo figures, which were
made available for the American ex-
perts were carefully verified
The United States will shortly be
able to tell how much food can go in
to these neutral countries without
leakage into Germany The neutrals
will be rationed 'just enough to keep
them going and no more"
But first the neutrals will have to
yect in tha American government fhe
power of routing these neutral ships.

of the FROST bitten corn. Frost bitten
or soft corn is said to be just as good
for the manufacture of alcohol as
corn that is fully matnred. The
small amount of soft or frost
bitten corn there will be this year, If
there there is not further damaging
frosts, will be easily consumed on
the farms where it is produced so
there will be no call for assistance
from the distilleries.

belongs. is placed by ornithologists at
the head Of the bird world, as being
more highly organized than any other.
Linnaeus gave the post Of honor to the
eagles because Of their kingly quality
of rapacity. The eagles were then de-
throned in favor of the thrushes by
reason of the higher development Of
their vocal organs, but two great au-
thor1ties on ornithology, Professor Par
ker and Professor Newton, agreed in
assigning the highest place to the cor
vidae on account of their wit and wis
dom.'' their development sof social hdb-
Its, their .subrationality' and their
possession of larger brains in proper
ton to the weight Of the body than
those Of any other birds.

If reports from the great potato
growing sections of the country are
borne ont by the harvest which will
start shortly, some of those gardeners
and farmers who have been holding
their early crop for exhorbitant prices
may wish they had taken a reason
able price when they could get it.
There is every indication the crop of
late tubers will be a bumper n and
that prices will be below the dollar
mark, probably considerably.

You and / side with the public in
terest. Let the value of land be as
sessed Independently of the buildings
upon it, and upon such valuation let
contribution be made to those pub
lie services which create the value.
This is not to disturb the balance of
equity, but to redress it. There is
no unfairness in it. The unfairness
is in the present state of things. Why
should one man reap what another
man sows? We should give to the
landowner all that is his. but we
would prevent him taking something
which belongs to others.
