girls, amongst them many Portu-
guese, Japanese, Hawaiians and
Chinese, met to watch the making
of rice and Graham breads and rice
biscuits, and to gather information
as to the seriousness of the food
shortage and the many economies
which all thoughtful people are
now glad to practise. Mrs. Russell
enlivened her tall k with several
pleasing stories and explained many
practical and valuable little devices
in cookery, which were of interest
to all Mrs. Semi was in charge
of arrangements and was ably as
sisted by Mrs. Burke and her staff
of teachers.

telligent group of women, all eager
for definite information and ready
with many questions. The prepa-
ration for this meeting was made
by Miss Edith Christophersen.
At each meeting little recipe
books gotten out by the Women's
Food Committee containing Mrs.
Russell's own wartime recipes were
given out, and after following the
making of the breads and tasting
them as they were baked, the wo-
men took the books home to follow
out work on the same lines.

London Domestic Science School,

OUR FIGHT! OUR DEAD!
THOUSANDS WHO
GIVE UP LIVES,
OUR OWN BOYS!

The allied casualty reports are beginning to hit
pretty close home, and to hit pretty hard.
In November, according to the London official
announcement as carried over the United Press
leased wire to The Times, the British lost 12O,7OO
men and officers. That is figure hard to realize.
1t is far greater than the record of any other re-
cent month
OF that total, $4,000 were deaths.
Think of it! That is just about the number Of
soldiers which marched past Maj Gen. Greene in
the first divisional review at Camp Lewis last
week. For whole afternoon we stood out there
on the Nisqually plain watching those khaki
hosts, in company formation, sweep pest their
commander.
And that same number of trained British fight
ing men DIED IN NOVEMBER IN OUR
CAUSE. They charged to Hun death as cheer
fully as our boys swung around the great Camp
Lewis parade ground.
Nearly five times their number went out of the
struggle either by DEATH wounds, gas, shell shock
or capture.
From the strictly military standpoint the loss of
those $4,000 is as serious blow to us as the loss
of the whole $4,000 Pacific Coast men whom we
love to see on our streets might be.
The allied army is one army. When Canadian,
or an Englishman, Scotchman, a Frenchman or
an italian falls, it is our loss, too. The casualty
reports of the allies are going to be of intense,
direct personal and terrible interest to- us from
now on

CASE IS
ENDING

MINEOLA, L. l., Dec. L.
Both state and defense restea In
the trial OF Mrs. Blanca de Saul
les shortly before noon today, and
the fate of the Chilean beauty
who killed her American husband
will be in the hands of the jury
tonight.
Arguments by counsel for prose-
cution and the defense began inn
mediately after the noon recess,
and will probably be ended beforef
Adjournment.
Experts for the state testified
that Mrs. de Saulles was perfectly
sane when she shot and killed her
husband after. he had refused to
give her their son. The dark spot
on the X-ray plate which physf-
clans for the defense have termed
a fracture of the skull, is declared
by experts for the state TO be
merely the "baby spot''-the last
portion of Mrs. de Saules' skull
to close when she was child.
The case may turn on the battle
between the insanity experts.
Strong possibility that the case
may go to the jury tonight appear
ed today before court convened
when District Attorney Weeks an
nounced that he would put three
witnesses on the stand in rebuttal
and then read the hypothetical
question to the states alienists.
He said he would try to conclude
the case so as to begin his argu-
ment late this afternoon.
Contradict Experts.
Alienists for the state, appear

Five Divisions Attack.
Five German divisions (proba-
bly,, about $4,000 mem were
thrown against the British line in
the northern attac launched by
Ruppreeht. These divisions con-
tered their attack along five mile
front. That their first days eff
forts failed was due to the Spar
tan courage of the British Tom
mics, who contested every inch of
ground.
The first rush of the Germans
swept the British out of Laleau
wood, La Vacquero, Cunnelieu,
Villiers Guislain and Gouzeacouit.
This represented an advance OF
two miles from their starting
point, the fighting centering d.
rectly south of Cambria. The en-
envy had made this gain by 10
o'clock.
Around o'clock in the after
noon, the British launched their
counter thrust.
The tanks were called upon.
They cam Numbering from
their concealed positions Just
back Of the fighting lines.
They rolled over the uptorn
trenches, splitting fire and
lead. The British infantry
followed them. Artillery fire
poured in upon the Germans

The British swept over ground
covered with the bodies of men
vainly sacrificed in trying to re-
store the prestige of the Bavarian
crown prince and on into Gouzeau-
court. Then they retook Gauche
wood and moved to the west and
recaptured Villers Guislain.
This thrust threw the Germans
back to within $500 yards Of
where they were at the Kickoff
In the morning. Their net adj
vance was no more than this at its
deepest point.
Hold Like Storm Wall.
WWith the repulse of the first
assault, the Germans shifted their
attack and delivered the second
assault Of their double blow.
Fresh enemy troops poured out
against Bourbon wood. The thrust
was swung back from south OF
Cambria to the west.
The British were hard pressed.

To the west of the wood the Ger

THESE RUSS FIGHTERS
Attack on Wilma Front Results in Vic
tory for Slavs.

Petrograd, July 23.-The Russians
yesterday suddenly attacked the Ger
mans near Krevo and Wilma, north of
the Pinsk marshes, and penetrated
the Teuton lines for distance of two
miles, according to an official an
nouncement made here today. The
Russians captured more than one
thousand Germans but the develop
ments of success, the statement adds,
are beng jeopardized by tbs moral
weakness and instability cf CERTAIN
Russian attachments.
Tctween the Rivers Sereth, Slripa
ami .Zlota Lipa- the Russian stat eluent
says the Austro-Hungarians continued
their offensive, occupying villages.
The chief of the Russian divisional
staff was killed while re-establishing
order among the units or the east
Galician front.
Krevno, near Wilma, lies nearly $50
miles to the north of Tarnopol and
Brzezany, around which the mutinous
outbreak of the Russians first CEN
tered.
The sector between the Sereth,
Strypa and Zlota Lipa rivers lies be-
tween BrzeZany and Tarnopol.
