GREAT FLANDERS BATTLE PROVES
BIGGEST VICTORY SINCE THE MARINE

War Summary

British soldiers now are entrench-
ed on the crest Of the most Of the
high ground in the famous Ypres
salient as a result of a tremendous
blow given the Germans yesterday on
an eight mile front east and north J.
east OF Ypres. Driven from the high
ground the Germans now will be
forced to go uphill against the Brit
ish, while the British artillery throws
shell after shell upon the German
defenses and lines OF communtca-
tion.
Field Marshal Haig's latest stroke
surprised his adversaries as they
were about to renew their attacks
against him. The British barrage
moved the massed Germans down
and those that remained were
annihilated in the rush OF the Brit
ish troops. At no point along the at
tacking front was the German resist
ance very great. although the Brit
ish had difficulty in overcoming the
concrete redoubts bristling with ma
chine guns.
The villages of Reutel, Eoorden-
hoeke, Polderhoek, Molenaarelsthoek'
Broodseinde and Gravenstafel were
captured, as was the greater part OF
Poelcappelle.
Over the Crest.
BY the capture Of Broodseinde the
British established themselves well
over the crest OF the ridge five miles
east Of Ypres. From here they can
lombard the Roulers Menin railroad.
the principal German line of
communication in the Ypres SEQ
tor.
In addition to the loss Of posi-
% fha Ger
mans sustained very heavy casual
ties as a result OF the British bar
rage. More than 1900 German
prisoners were taken. half of them
being wounded. The German losses
were so severe that Crown Prince
Rupprecht attempted only a few
counter attacks. These were easily
broken up.
Russian Situation Acute.
The political situation in Russia
again has become acute and Premier
Kerensky has thrown down the
gauntlet to the democratic congress.
Contrary to the demands of the con-
gress he has promised that he will
today announce a new coalition
ministry. This will include members
Of the powerful constitutional Demo-
cratic party, to which the congress
has been bitterly opposed.
The War For Nine Months.
London, Oct. 5.-SumminE up the
work of the British army during the
first nine months of the year, Gen.
F. B. Maurice, chief Of military
operations Of the war ONCE, said yes
terday:
During that period we have taken
on the western front SLABS German
prisoners and S32 field and heavy
guns, while our losses have been l5s-
066- prisoners and no guns.
TN all theatres we have taken IA
513 prisoners and 40 guns and have
lost 1880 prisoners and no guns"
The course Of events during the
night gave further evidence Of the
severity of the shock given the Ger
mans in yesterdays thrust. They
kept up a heavy artillery FIRE during
the night, but did not counter at
tack. Meanwhile the British were
busy consolidating their new posi-
tions.
The French had to cope with sew
eraI surprise attacks by the Germans
last night, notably in the Champagne
and upper Alsace. The German ef-
forts. however, met with no success.

No Counter Attacks.

London, Oct. 5.-The Germans
have undertaken no further counter
attacks against the positions east OF

typical of the state of Kansas. The

Politics After the War.


Recalling the years following the
close of the hostilities in 1865, and
the long term of supremacy enjoyed
by the political party which brought
the armed conflict to q successful
conclusion, the New York Globe
asks:
'EWhere now, are the men who will
occupy the White House from 1920
to 1896? In the army, as were
Grant, Garfield, Hayes, Harrison, and
Mckinley, between 81 and '65? Or
will our politics hinge for years af-
terward on the war;"
There is no reason to anticipate
that American politics will, as in the
term of years following 1865, hinge
on the present war. Politics will be
more likely to hinge on the war after
math than on the issues of the war it
self. In 1920, and for a considerable
time, thereafter, politics will hinge
chiefly upon the question of economic
defense; upon the means to be en-
ployed to resist industrial invasion.
Beginning with 1920, this country
will have to solve the problem of
shielding its labor and industry from
the onslaught of the foreign made
goods offered at prices which our own
labor and industry cannot compete
without heavy decrease in wage
rates. Restored Protection will then
b the issue.-Economist.

Our Free-Trade Tariff Helps Japan.

$3.50, 745. Here are increases rang
1912, and the record for 1913, Is
pretty good evidence that even the
Republican rates in effect that year
could keep Japan from doubling her
sales of these articles to US.
The New York writer finds that ex-
ports to Japan have increased at
greater ratio than imports from that
country, having trebled during the
nine months ended with March of
this year, over the same period Of
1915. Incidentally it might be re-
marked that they were $13 100000
less for the nine months ended March
1915, than for the same period ended
March 1913, while imports from Ja-
pan during the period ended March
1917, were more than double what
they were for the period ended March
1913. AS the writer remarks,
''these exports include cotton, iron,
and steel fabrications, railway cars,
sole leather, oils and reSfn," and
many other raw materials. Cotton for
the japanese mills, which are driving
Us out of the far Eastern textile
trade; iron and steel fabrications and
railways cars which are going to Rus
sia; sole leather for the manufacture
OF Russian boots at which Japanese
shoemaker have been laboring sixteen
hours a day. Little of this trade will
be in evidence when the war is over
much, if not all, of our import trade
from Japan will continue under the
present Tariff policy. In fact, it is
quite certain that, with her energies

POINTED SHOES RUIN FEET
Bones are Bent Out of Natural Shape
By Narrow Footwear

Bones are Bent Out of Natural Shape
By Narrow Footwear.
Doctors have long known that the
pointed shoes which we have been
wearing were a national peril They
bend the bones of the feet out of
their shape; they produce fat foot.
The percentage of reflections OF can
didates for the draft army, because
OF defective feet, brings to universal
attention the truth which medical
men have long known and to which
they have vain tried to call our at
tention.
The human foot in its natural
shape is beautiful, just like the hu-
man hand. No one would think of
distorting the hand IN an attempt to
make IL appearsmall. For a generation
we have so distorted our feet The
philosophy of our action is the same
which was at the basis of the action
of the Chinese in binding their wom-
ems feet. The distortion which we
have produced IS motto us-so ugly
as the Chinese. 1t is not-yet- so
Gripping. But If you want to know
what modern American shoes do, look
at an X-ray picture OF the pointed
shoe foot compared with the normal
foot.
See the bent, cramped toe bones,
the misplaced arch bones of the man
who wears pointed shoes, and COM
pare the picture with the straight,
clean, normal bones lines. You could
stand distortion of the framework of
your hands as well as you can stand
distortion of the framework of your
feet.
WhySthis mania for small feet? 1t
| is because of our worship of a false
arlstocracy, an aristOcracy that does
not work, an aristocracy, whose wom-
en- ride, whose feet do not develop.
These women can therefore wear
either small shoes with comfort or
can stand the discomfort of small
| shoes because their weight is usually
not resting on their feet 1t is differ
ent with you and me.
! This ingrained worship of the at
tributes of those who do not work is
the principal remnant of the feudal
mind. Stop wearing small, pointed
shoes and indicate your emancipa-
ton from this snobbery. Incidentally
wear broad shoes shaped like your
foot, and let them develop as serv-
ants to help you, not as parasites
that feed upon the strength of your
other members.-FrOm New York
