CENsIANY SEEKING FOOD

One feature of the German drive

snnst Sof the reviewers, who forget
that in their retreat the Slavic armies
faaned to destroy the standing crops.
Consequently the advancing Teutons
=are hastily garnering the crops which
are ready for their harvest, after a
seasons care II the hands of the Rus
sian farmers.
This is probably the main reason
wy Germany and her allies are hit
ring Russia so hard. They know that
President Wilson is about to applJ. a
rigorous embargo and that their food
supplies will necessarily become lower.
Bessarabia furnishes the most likely
supply field and the storehouses in the
southeastern section of Russia, along
the Black sea coast, probably contain
unlimited quantities of cereals which
would help the German empire in its
desperate fight. At any rate, de-
sire 70 acquire these crops easily ex-
plains the direction of the Teutonl:
effort.

EVERYBODY IN THE DARK.
is a peoples war.

This is a peoples war.
TIE people are entitled to know the
progress and the plans of their coun-
try in the struggle, but if you will go
about the nation you will find out that
the entire public is in the dark. AL
that the people know is that congress
is appropriating money like water and
that the cry comes for more.
The conduct Of the war is matter
of vital import to everybody. 1t no
longer concerns the army alone, be-
ecause the entire people are being grid
seq for war. Business interests are sac
rifced, individuals are subjected to
new regulations, and every spark of
life in the entire country is being
gathered together for the nations
strength.
Under such conditions it is not sur
sprising that the people everywhere
wish to know more about the war.
They want to knew what is happening,
how the struggle stands and what the
prospects are. The people are not
afraid, they have as much courage as
the government. and if they are taken
INTO the confidence of the war direc-
tors, they viii measure up to the task
better than if they are kept in the
dark. -

CHICAGO FIRMS AFFIDAVIT
THAT DEAL WAS SPECULA-
TIVE CAUSES ACTION

Chicago, Aug. 1O.-One of the big
South Water street commission firms,
Morgan, Kuhn & Co., was expelled to-
day from the Chicago Butter and Egg
board.
According to evidence submitted the
firm sold, to the Davis Kilbourne COM
pany five cars of April eggs, which
they failed to deliver. When sued for
delivery, Morgan, Kuhn & Co. SUD-
n1itted an affidavit stating. that the
sale was purely speculative PROPOSE
ton and that they had not intention Of
making the delivery.
Directors of the board, when appris-
ed of the sense Of the affidavit, imme
diately voted to expel Threats of in
junction are made against the board
but the directors say the rules against
gambling are explicit.

the booty captured by the French were
FIVE guns which the enemy had been
unable to remove in their hurry to
withdraw.
The forcing of the Germans from
the West Hook ridge adds strong
link to the new line of defenses.
In the general attack of July 81 the
British occupied the major part of
the West Hook ridge and large part
of the valley of West Hook and they
maintained their positions in the face
of heavy artillery fire and fierce coun-
ter attacks. Until today the British
have rested on the laurels won in that
first attack. The West Hook ridge ap-
pears to have been a thorn in their
Sides but had the British chosen at
that time to make another counter at
tack it is doubtful whether they could
have administered it successfully, ow-
ing to deluge of rain. Water stood
waist deep in some trenches and the
low ground was transformed into a
morass through which it was impossi-
BILE to operate. During the last few
days comparatively fair weather has
done wonders in drying the ground
and the British appear to have struck
at the earliest possible moment to
strengthen their positions here. The
usual German counter attacks had
rot materialized at latest reports, but
no one doubted in the British lines
that the enemy would make strong
attempt to retrieve themselves here.
The return of fine weather leaves the
entire battle front seething with ac-
ton. The Germans are now using big
naval guns to search out vulnerable
points as far back as the British lines.

Important Sequel to Recent Battle.

GUM, Aug. 10.-(By the Associated
President. 1.-The British today added
another brief but important sequel to
the battle of last week when they car
ried by assault German forward posi-
lions along the front between Frezen-
bourg and the Ypres-Menin road and
thereby obtained strong defenses
which had remained in the enemy's
possession on the West Hook ridge af-
ter the battle of July 81. At the same
time their French allies on the left
advanced to considerable depth east
and north of Bixschoote.
Z Near the junction of the French and
British armies, the former pushed
their lines across the Steinbeck river
and little north of this point occu-
pied on the west bank of the stream

been forced to evacuate under pres
