JOSEPH DEBAR.
President
President Debar's appeal didn't get
hearing from The Times for the follow
ing reasons:
The Times does not carry the adver-
Using of whisky manufacturers, is not in
the pay of whisky manufacturers and
does not have to take orders from whisky
manufacturers;
The Times does not feel called upon
TO consult the interest of any bank or
banks dependent upon the whisky traffic
FOR their existence;
The Times does not feel called upon to
consult the interest of any distiller, any
bonding company or any individual de-
pendent upon the whisky traffic FOR ex-
isience.
The Times does not believe in the trai-
fc, wants to see the war over just as
soon as possible, believes that we need our
maximum of strength and efficiency, and
believes that not only whisky but that
beer and light wines should be banned
for the period of the war and forever
thereafter.
The Times did not give President De-
bars appeal hearing or first thought
because The Times favors cheaper bread
and believes that bread will be cheaper
when the wheat that is now going into
spirituous liquors, to make men drunk, is
made into flour, to feed the pauperized
families Of drunkards.
The Times is not printed in the inter-
est of whisky or whisky manufacturers.
The Times is printed in the interest
of HOMES.
What we would like to know is, how
did President Debar come to send his
appeal to US?
The whisky people, it would seem,
haven't revised their list of friendly
newspapers {. in something approaching
two decades.

man Assaults.

New York, May 13,-After days of
intensive fighting, in which positions
have changed hands numerous times,
the British troops have recaptured the
greater portion OF the village of Bulle-
court and repulsed violent counter-at-
tacks delivered by the Germans east of
the village. They have also occupied
the western section of Roeux.
Along the Scarpe river to the east
of Arras, there also have been san
culinary encounters but again the ad
vantage rested with Field Marshal
Haig's forces Portions of the village
of Roeux have been taken by the Brit
ish and another step forward has been
gained by them on the western slopes
of Greenland hill.
There has been no let up in the air
fighting, which has been going on since
the spring offensive began. Eleven
German airplanes were accounted for
Saturday by the British, 10 of them
in air battles and one by an anti-air
craft gun. The British lost six ma
chimes.
French Repulse Attack.
The Germans Sunday morning made
strong attacks on the plateau of Ora
onne, on the sector north of Rheims,
ard in the region of Maisons de Cham
payne. The French put down all three
attacks, causing heavy casualties, and
pushed back the German line and took
prisoners.
There is no Indication of the APP
proach of any fighting of moment be-
tween the Austro-Germans and Rus
slams on the Eastern front from tine
Baltic sea to Rumania.
In Macedonia violent artillery duels
are in progress along the entire front,
with the preponderance in the gun
power apparently on the entente side.

en- the village of RoeuX, east of Arras,
and north of Gavrelle have pushed
their line forward. No infantry en-
gagements have taken place between
the French and the Germans, but their
artilleries are still roaring in the great
duels that always are the forerunners
of attacks.
From April to May Il, 49579 Ger
mans have been made prisoner in
France bv the British and French. In
addition, 444 heavy and field cannon,
