"Raise more cattle or eat less beef. )"
This is the word sent out from Wash
ington by the federal department of
agriculture. The government points
out that, whereas the population OF
the United States has increased a..
100000 in the last Is years, the pro-
duction of beef cattle has fallen off
more than 100000 in numbers. In
the same time sheep have increased
only 100000. After all, in the final
analysis, the high cost of meat, as in
many other of life's necessities, may
be laid in part at the door of extrava
CANT tastes. Our trouble is no more
in over-consumption or under-consump
ton than in over-luxurious living
Tender lamb and veal appetites can
not be appeased without paying the
price. RAISE more cattle and eat
less beef" is good as far as it goes
but it doesn't go far enough. "Slaugh.
ter less calves and develop less lux
urious tases" might we'll be added.

The latest official communication
from Berlin records fresh advances for
the Teutonic allies against the Rus
slams and Rumanians in Wallachia.
The invaders now are we'll beyond
Rimnik-Sarat, advancing along the
railroad toward Fokshani. Three thou

guns have been captured by the in
vaders, bringing the number Of men
taken in the Rimnik-Sarat maneuver
up to 1920.
Although the Berlin war office re-
ports that the Teutonic allies in De-
brudpa are keeping up their pressure
against the Russians and Rumanians
and have forced the Russians from for.
titled height positions east of Matchin,
on the east bank of the Danube oppo.
site Braila, Petrograd announces that
the invaders south of the Danube have
been repulsed with heavy losses, ex
cept at the village of Rakel, which has
been occupied by them. British armed
motor cars, says Petrograd, did great
execution in this fighting.
Repuise German Attack.
Considerable fighting has again ia
ken place on the Cerdun sector around
LIE Mort Homme and on the east
ern slopes of hill No. 304, where the
Germans made an attack, but were re
pulsed, and where later the French
began bombardment of the German
positions. Elsewhere along the French
front there have been reciprocal BON
bardments and attacks by small patrol
parties, interspersed with fights in the
air and aerial raids by French and
German aviators. In the encounters in
the air each side is reported to have
lost machines.
In the Austro-Italian theater the
weather has cleared and the artillery
duels have been renewed with vigor,
especially on the Carso front. In Mace
donia, except for British attacks
against the Bulgarians northeast OF
Lake Dorian, which Berlin says were
unsuccessful, comparative quiet still
prevails.
South of Brody in Galicia the Ger
mans have brought their howitzers
into play against Russian positions and
at several points have damaged theil
