and its adjacent coal fields and
a deeply projecting salient into their
lines which would virtually put the
British at the threshold OF Cambria.
The exact situation in the little viii
lage which was recaptured by the
Germans Tuesday after stubborn
defense by the Canadians is some
what obscure. The British war Of
flee asserts that Prince Rupprecht's
men met with reverses west of the
village Tuesday night during coun-
ter attack, while unofficial adyices
are that they have been expelled
from a greater portion of the vii
lage, but are still holding out, al
though barely able to maintain them
selves against the terrible on
slaughts of the Canadians.
On the other hand, the German
official communication asserts that
the Germans have held the village
against fresh British attacks and In
addition have taken 100 more pris-
oners. In making this claim, how
ever, the usual details Of victory
and claim OF sanguinary losses are
lacking.
Wednesday saw return OF unfav-
orable weather along the Anglo-Ger-
man front, and except around Fres-
noy. the fighting was mainly by the
artillery.
The French meantime have. been
busy consolidateding the positions
captured from the Germans Tuesday
near Chevreaux, repulsing counter
attacks and engaging in artillery
duels with the Germans. Northwest
of Rheims, in the single instance
where the infantry left the trenches,
the French attacked and captured
German positions on a front of more
than 400 yards, and brought back
100 prisoners.
Although the fighting along the
Arras front has been described as
the most violent during the war, an
nouncement has been made in the
house Of commons that the British
casualties are so to rs per cent fewer
than those sustained during the bat
tie of the Somme.
The fighting in all the other
theaters except in France, continues
of a sporadic nature, although the
Operations in Macedonia, where heavy
artillery duels are in progress along
the Teutonic line at one place, indi-
cate the coming of general engage
ments in short time. As had been
forecast, the number of British ves-
sells sunk during the week ending
last Sunday was smaller than during
the former week. Last week "a ves-
sells of over 1000 tons and 20 of less
than 1900 tons were sent to the bot.
tom, as compared with SS and 13 the
previous week.
Germany, however, is still optimis-
tic that her underwater campaign
will be successful in ending the war.
The naval budget committee of the
reichstag has been told that in April
not less than 100000 tons of ship
ping comprised the booty OF the
submarines, while the minister of
the navy has assured the chamber
that Germany has the necessary
boats, men, fuel and accessories to
preserve until the end.

Mr.. HARNESS. statement is as follows:
Modern. war has become a contest
not between armies, but between ma
tions. It is an economic conflict as
well as a clash of fighting men, and
the prediction made some years ago
by M. Bloch, the noted Russian econo-
mist, that food, not bullets, would be
tho determining factor in any world
war in the twentieth century, is rapid
ly' becoming true. ,~s4-{
1--WE have only to glance at the big
ger strategy of. the war to see just how
true this is. Germany is making a
desperate effort by an unlimited sub
marine war to cut England and her
allies off from water-bOr supplies
from all corners of the globe. Germany
socks to starve England into submits
sion and to make it impossible for the
other allied nations to continue in the
field.
THE Allies in their, part are seek
ing to pull ever tighter the band of

grasped. 1t has become, in it's larger
conceptions, a. war on transportation
faci1ities;:. the aim to disrupt them,

the blows are aimed, but rather OF

To-day all of the great states of
the world are belligerents. Millions OF

must consume food as in zordinaf!
times, and while the demand remains
