OUR PLAIN Duty

there seems no honorable way in
which it can be avoided. We,
therefore, must fight.
But with the conflict reality, it
will be well if we as a people are
disposed to profit by the experience
of the nations across the water.
1t seems like prosaic matter
for discussion, but really one Of
the greatest factors that will enter
into the matter is our food supply.
We are already faced with prices as
high as it would seem we can pos
sibly endure; with pronounced
shortage in many lines of products;
and if a large army and navy is to
be recruited from our industrial
workers the situation is likely to
become serious.
1t is, however, fortunate that the
crisis should come at this season Of
the year, when the people can plan
to meet the situation. The farming
season is just opening, and every
man, woman and child in the United
States should be brought to feel
that on his or her shoulders rests
a very tangible portion of the res
possibility that faces the nation.
OUR PEOPLE MUST BE FED.
In an ordinary year this matter
would automatically take care of
itself. But not so in this instance.
Aside from the fact that thousands
and thousands will be drawn from
the ranks of the workers, we will
have also to reckon with the rest
lessness and excitement that will in
evitably prevail throughout the
country. This is not conductive to
successful work.
What our people must realize is
that no calamity can be allowed to
touch us AS A WHOLE. An army
may be modified, and the navy
strengthened, but affairs will move
along in the same grooves in all
lines of industry. Hence, with the
increased demand for food sup
niles that is sure to come, the
FIRST THOUGHT of ALL the peo-
pie should be to see that every
available foot of tillable soil is
made to produce a crop.
And this should not only apply to
farmers. Millions of people in the
cities and towns can contribute
largely to the result. Unused back
yards, vacant lots, fallow fields,
even railroad rights of way can be
made to add their quota. Every
by any means secure a plot of
ground should do so and devote
portion of his or her time this sea-
son to producing something to eat.
None should evade this duty for
DUTY it is.
Let none delude themselves with
the belief that there will be any
material lowering of the prices of
foodstuffs unless there is an IN
CREASE IN PRODUCTION. The
demand is too great. There are
yawning markets the world over
for every bushel of wheat, corn, po-
tatoes, or any other article of food
that We can produce, and even
should we escape long war, at
least as long as the conflict contin-
ues in Europe that demand will be
urgent.
We can, we should, we MUST
make of ourselves that which we
glory in proclaiming-a nation Of
farmers.

 The total number of prisoners cap tured says the statement is PCT of ficers and 2429 men.
 The Tanks in Palestine LONDON, Nov 5.-The Reuter- cor respondent at British readquarters in Palestine, describing the recent at tacks on Gaza, says that tanks par ticipated. adding:
 'ihese leviatbians were not en- tirely at home amid the shifty sands, but nevertheless nosed their way into the enemy lines with pachwdermatous indifference to machine gun and rifle fire. They numbered over entangle ments and parapets of trenches. The moon light exaggeTating their huge, unweildy bulk, the Turks must have regarded them as veritable sons of Eblis."

The Germans had made many passages ever the stream all of which were destroyed when the last man of their retreating forces went over
 French patrols everywhere reached the southern bank but whenever they attempted to attain the other side they met with a murderouS machine gun fire. The whole southern slope of the valley was swept hour after hour on Sunday with German shells of all calibres, most of them charged with noxious gases. Every place where the Germans believed the French were con- centrating received continuous saivos which, however, did little damage. Sev- eral thousand projectiles were fired by the German artillery in the course of the day in this sector. most of which apparently were fired at very long range and struck without exploding.
 The correspondent approached the front lines and splendid view could
 
 over the ground for the possession of which the German crown princes army has spilled so much blood. Seemingly a short distance away, well within ma chine gun range. could be observed the ruins of the villages of Chamouviile, Melville, ChermiZy, Bouconville and Nauclerc, while along thes crest of the plateau could be discerned here and there faint traces of what once had been the Chemin des Danes, now a mere collection of deep craters running into each other.
 Below the road on the northern side the gaping mouths of great tunnels opened, showing where the Germans had concentrated and sheltered their troops. Very slight damage had been i done these shelters, except in cases where the timbers sustaining the roofs and sides had been sprinkled with petrol and set afire, some times causing the earth to collapse
 Marching over the battlefield atop this plateau, it was easy to visualize the terrific nature of the fighting which has been going on these many months. Both the German and French trenches and positions had been shelled out of all shape and it was difficult to under | stand how the troops held on under the incessant bombardments. There was not an inch of ground that had not been pulverized, and now, with the heavy autumn mists and frequent rains, the ground has been formed into a sticky mass, progress through which is really a form of punishment. The 1 great mounds, known as Classmates and California plateaux, stand out boldly, making the reason plain why both sides fought so obstainately for their possession.
