Supreme Point Taken.


The advance included as part of the
attack all that blood soaked region
along the Menin road. with the domi-
mating spur on the northern and south
ern slopes, of which are Glencorse Wood
and Inverness Copse and other high
ground beyond. The Germans have con-
sidered that this high ground is the
supreme strategic point In all this sec
ton of the front and they have been
willing to make any sacrifice to hold
it, At this point they have flung fifteen
divisions. but have utterly failed to drive
us back. We. on the other hand. have
made little progress I'm the last seven
weeks.
Since the middle Of August along the
narrow front here. besides constant
minor skirmishes and continuous she'll
ing, the Germans have made seven
frontal attacks I'm which twenty-four
battalions have been used up. The
ground which we won to-day was in
places literally heaped with their dead.
| The great majority OF our wounded to-
day were walking cases They were the
most hilarious and jubilant lot of
wounded that I ever saw. Every one of
them knew how the attack had gone, as
one Of them said like blinking
/ charm" They had seen our men go
romping on and all shouted with laugh
/ ter when they were told that the Ger
mans were streaming out of their con-
crete shelters to surrender.
| To-day's operations were on a wide
! front. Along the Menin road itself we
/ pushed through Inverness copse to the
high ground, and half way to Gheluvelt.

/ side Of Polygon wood: above here our
: men swept over all the hdeous country
studded with fortified farms and con-
! crete redoubts TO nearly mile east Of
,Frezenberg, This region was crowded
with fortresses which swept all the

guns. The garrisons OF all these for

TURKEY A REAL
AMERICAN BIRD

The turkey, the delectab1e fowl
which wi11 occupy the place Of honor
on millions of Thanksgiving dinner
tables throughout the United STATES
next Thursday, unless thu price is SO
high that only the mi1lionafres can
pay It, is a native of America, and
therefore was wholly unknown to the
ancients The first turkeys were in
troduced into England about 1923.
and the British poultry raisers set
about the task of subdi1fng the wild
nature of the American bird. Before
the close Of the century it had be-
come the most popular fowl for the
English feast. Turkeys were intro
duced into, France and other parts
of the European continent about 1875.
but they never became as popular
there as in England or America. The
Turkey was the last of the poultry
flock to be domesticated, with the
possible exception OF the guinea fowl,
which is also a native of the New
World. Both turkeys and guinea hens
still retain much of their wild nature,
and pine away and die If kept too
closely confined. They are true birds
of liberty" and thrive best when CIV
en- ''an creation" to roam over. Since
the Inauguration of the Thanksgiving
festival in America the turkey has
held the place of honor at the festal
hoard. .
