tconcluded from Paee u

Maurice declared that the Germans had
drawn on their strategic reserve and
brought up great new forces in an at
tempt to stem the onslaught, but the
British machine was working without n
hitch, The German losses had been ter

said, were lying in front of the British
lines. "A
In the eighteen days of the Arras
battle the British casualties had been
something less than half what they
were In the corresponding period OF the
Somme offensive, while the numbers of
prisoners and guns captured by the
British forces were much greater than
in the same period on the Somme.
"The German official statement a
couple Of days ago, said General Man
rice, announced that great defeat
had been administered to the British,

our positions and bring along our guns
as we progress. We are continually
facing heavy German counter attacks
( and It would be a useless loss Of Bri

protection.
"When the second phase of the bat
ltle began we forced the Germans bacl
on both our wings, while in the centre
they succeeded in pushing us back
little. However, we counter attacke'
and drove the Germans out of all tn
positions they had gained in the centr

FIRES AND THE LIVING COST.

SO many causes have been assigned for
the high cost of living-did you ever stop
to think what an important bearing fires
have on the problem?
A fire in grain elevator will wipe away
enough to feed small army-for instance
100000 bushels of corn, and 100000 bush
els Of oats were destroyed in a recent III
nois blaze
Grain elevators, flour, cereal, grist and
feed mills are particularly liable to fire be-
cause of an explosive principle in the grain
dust; disasters that cost many lives
thirty killed for instance in a Buffalo mill
explosion in 1913. In the Big Bend coun-
try of the northwest, there are from six to
ten such fires day.
How many thousands Nof dollars in feed
and livestock are destroyed by barn fires
Not only because of lighting but also from
the spontaneous combustion of hay in
poorly ventilated lofts. And from forest
fires spreading to fields!
Every loss reacts upon the price of the
remnant to the consumer.
Coming closer home, because the gro
Gerry carries stocks of inflammables-
kerosene, matches, etc.-tIere are many
disastrous fires, and he must pay an extra
high insurance This too is added to the
ultimate price of beans and helps explain
the plutocratizing of potatoes.
Six hundred thousand dollars day rep
resent the fire loss of the United States
We have fire minute This tremendous
tribute ultimately seeks compensation !.
| the increased cost of commodities.
Over 81 per cent of our fires are due tc
strictly preventable causes; over 81 pei
cent to partly preventable; and of the re
naming 40 per cent, a fair proportion il
undoubtedly preventable. If Our fires are
] reduced to the fractional figures of Other
countries, our cost of living will be materi
ally reduced.
