THE FOOD PROBLEM.

We shall all 2 be glad when the shouting Is all over, and there is nothing left to the food problem but doing.
 There have been more Dos and Dont's hurled at the housewives of the country than they possibly can take notice of and it is not strange that there is prevailing feeling of anazement and confusion.
 We have been told that one slice of bread a day wasted in the twenty million homes in this fair land means the destruction of a million and a half barrels of flour year.
 Just to emphasize the importance of this western rhymester has par- aphrased the old rede: 'F'rom the loss of a nail the shoe was
 lost From the loss of a shoe the horse was
 lost From the loss of a horse the rider
 was lost; From the loss of the rider the battle
 was lost: From the loss Of the battle the king
 dom was lost; All from the loss of a horseshoe nail" Putting it into verse thus: By saving his bread the banker was
 saved; By the help of the banker the farmer
 was saved; By the aid of the farmer the crops
 were saved: By the aid of the crops the people
 were saved; By the aid of the people the soldiers
 were saved; By the aid of the soldiers the country
 was saved; All through saving a slice of bread" The Bulletin is of the opinion we are going to save several loaves of bread apiece if it is necessary to do so to save the country:

THE FLYING MACHINE IN WAR.

The latest airpIane manouvres of the entente forces at the battle of Flanders show that the airmen in future may take an effective fighting part in the big drives.
 These valiant airmen are proving to be more than scouts and bomb troopers, for they seem capable to supplement the tank as destroyers of machine guns and dispensers of plat oons Of the enemy.
 When single aviator destroys three airplane sheds, disperses a platoon cf German soldiers and cfases them to cover. and assaiis a train of troops wounding scores of them, be- sides locating the enemies depots and defences, 1t seems to be no idle dream that the most effective instrument for ending the var may he the airplane.

STORIES OF THE WAR
The British French Offensive.
eBy the Associated Press)


 An epoch making offensive launched by the British and French against the German lines between the River Lys and Boesinghe at daybreak Tuesday. has with few exceptions accomplished all that had been planned for the first cay of this battle, which. in it's early stages. gives promise of being the greatest conflict of the war
 Roughly speaking. the British pene- trated positions held by Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, between Boes- inghe and WarnetOn and at the time of the filing of this dispatch were in pos session of the first three lines of the German trenches at most points throughout this front.
 Reports received from the French troops which are attacking over the difficult territory between Dixmude and a point near Boesin ghe say that they have forced their way across this marsh studded and partly inundated of German trenches.
 The casualties of the entente allies have been surprisingly light and the morale of the men continues at the highest pitch. The contact betwee the British and French armies has been constant and excellent.
 Late today it was reported that the Germans had begun a heavy counter attack at the point where the allied forces join.
 The German front line trenches, which had been torn to pieces by the preliminary bombardment, offered lit tie resistance, but once the allied fore es penetrated beyond them they met with fierce resistance at many points. Directly east of Ziilbeke ard again a little to the north the British were temporarily held up by a heavy ma

 Again at a redoubt which was strongly held in the German line and defended by concrete Notifications the British were brought to a stand by ma chine gun fire. But they charged with bayonets and dislodged the Germans
 One of the most spectacular events of The fighting occurred at the oealled MeIhn Tunnel a great underground fertilization constructed by the Ger mans on the Menin road opposite Hooge. The British preliminary bon- bardment had forced the Germans to hold their F'refich line thinly here, and the British division which was to at tack at dawn lay out all night in shell holes within twenty five yards of the German line, waiting for the signal to advance. When the time arrived for the charge, and the British gunners had dropped a protecting barrage on the German front trench ahead of the British troops, it was seen that the Germans had taken to their heels and were fleeing.
 The British, seeing their prey es- capng. with mad and charged directly through their own barrase. fortunately without heavy casualties. The Menin Tunnel, which was expected to be oc- cupied by several hundred Germans
 
 rest having retreated.
 It was only at the second line that the British met resistance and here after sharp nand-to hand fighting they forced the Germans again to with draw.
 No check has yet been made on the number of German prisoners captured but they are flowing in a steady stream back of the British lines. Many captured al the Menin Tunnel and other positions are mere boys.
 The tanks again played a prom inent part in the opening of the bat tie. and reports from all sections of the British front say that their work has been most satisfa ctorY. Large numbers of these monsters were en- played in many cases pursued their destructive and unchec!kahle way to a distance far within the German lines
 Further information obtained from German prisoners concerning the fef- fects of the British preliminary bonn bardment indicate that the effective ton was disa in the extreme both in damage and to tho morale of The German troops. Within the pa St few days six Bavarian divisions were withdrawn from. the line and replac- ed hv fresh troops because they were 50 thoroughly dem oralized by the in- ferno of fire which they have under zone.
