l tirely under the control of our forces Along our front, patrol encounters were numerous. The Germans undertook a in inflicting few casualties. A small American patrol, while scouting in s"No Mans Land.'' was ambushed by the en- emy.
 RAIN ALONG FRONT 'The weather was very rainy during the first part of the week, and our troops were busy manning the pumps in an effort to keep their trenches dry Later, clear weather prevailed and hos tile aircraft made frequent flights to reconnoiter our positions. A marked improvement in our anti-aircraft bar rage is reported. Artillery duels took place and the Germans showered our lines with gas shells which. however, caused no casualties, owing to efficient gas mask protection.
 s'In Champagne units of American artillery participated in an engagement undertaken by French forces. This op- eration was the most important of the week in the west. After very careful artillery preparation, during which our batteries co-operated usefully, French infantry advanced to the assault south west of the Butte du Mesnil along a front of about 14o0 yards. The French succeeded in penetrating the German po- sitions. They broke through the second and reached the third German line. Dur ing this attack the French destroyed many enemy shelters: inflicted much damage to enemy positions. besides bring ing back 150 prisoners.
 'sOther successful raids were under- taken by French attachments in the vicinity of the Chemin -des- Danes. east of Rheims, in Upper Alsace and else- where. In all the French drove forward l2 very fortunate reconnaissance under takings along different parts of the line
 GERMAN UNITS ACTIVE
 German units were also active. They were temporarily successful in the vicin- ity of Bezonvaux and In Alsace. How ever, seven German raids at various other points broke down. French artil- lery kept the enemy constantly engaged along a widely scattered area.
 The British front also was the scene of numerous minor engagements No important actions took place. and the enemy who was evidently busy with the grouping of units and disposing fresh forces recently arrived from other thea, tres in the front line. undertook only such accommodating engagements as to familiarize the new units with the nature of the terrain m front or them.
 ITALIAN FRONT
 s'In the Italian theatre the enemy has again assumed an aggressive attitude.
 The concentration of an important body of German cavalry in: the vicinity of Riga is noted. and 1t is believed that the Germans may find it expedient to advance on Petrograd. It Is difficult to determine the exact status of affairs in southwe estern Russia. The Russian con- tingents are evacuating the Armenian centers south of the Black sea. which are being reoccupied by Turkish units. Trehixond will probably fall soon into Turkish hAnda.
 Tt is important to record that large eontingents of Arabs are joining the forces or the Sheik of Mecca, who is cooperating with the British.
 "The Arabs have defeated the Turks in two encounters. occupied Fl Mazred southeast of the Dead sea, and are ad- vanciug along the Hedjaz railway co., ward Maan.'

Society in War Time.

In striving to make the world safe for dcmoc-
racy, America is becoming democratic herself. AS
our young men throw off civilian garb and get
under the khaki, they look pretty much like-very
much like brothers. Fellows who didn't live in the
same end of town at home and didn't travel in the
same set, are now pals in the great democratic
army.
Back home their mothers are meeting for the
first time in the Red Cross, war mothers club
The rich mother and the poor mother have some
thing to draw them together ssters-in hope
and sympathy now; later, perhaps, in grief
There is a tendency toward simplicity and
democracy in dtcss. Many arc proud to wear tho
garb of the Red Cross-and that isn't silk for the
rich and cotton for the poor
The moment there was something worth while
to do rich girls of spirit and poor girls of spirit
seized the opportunity to do what they might to
help win the
Now with the patriotic democratic leaven work
women themselves welcome standard OF
arisocracy-an aristocracy OF worth, not wealth?
Would they not welcome change in the
called society column that would chronicle only
the worthwhile doings of the who are
doing what they may to help win the war?
The idlcr among women well as among men
will be on the fringe of society soon The wearing
OF Jewels and elaborate gowns will attract atten-
ton still, but a different kind OF attention. 1t will
look awully out OF place. The service pin on
mother will mean more to the people OF America
than the biggest diamond dad buy.
And when you sec the service PIN do you care
whether it is on a silk gown cotton frock;

Our Airmen in Italy.

The presence OF American bomberS on the Pave
battlefront is an excellent stroke.
A double purpose is served; the effect of it upon
the Italians and the effect OF it upon the Austrians.
How beautifully timed it is with respect to the lat
ter people-with food riots breaking out in Vienna,
strikes disrupting o-Hungarian muniton fac
tories the bitter cry for bread becoming i'm
perious that Berlin is forced TO rush carloads OF
food out OF her own narrow store in order to
save the situation.
The Austrian is faced now by a factor, a
new encouragement, a new harbingcr of the GER
tain end which awaits his debasing alliance with
his immemorial enemy. the Prussian. 1t is not
alone Italy which has broken his offensive before
it has fairly started America is there also, and so
are Great Britain and France. America, it is safe
to say will be there in increasing numbers, for
Gen. Pershing already has outlined an extensive
program for cooperation with Gen. Diaz, and it
is well known that American divisions will soon
be seen in that OF the
The last ounce of effectiveness will be gotten
out of the work that American aviators arc doing
along the Pave. And Emperor Karl will find it

termined for showdown The nation is starv-
ng the offensive has been pitiul failure; America
is active on the front. The people know what that
means. The Jugo-Slavs and the Czecho-S Slavs well
know what that means.
And back OF aviation as a tremendous factor in
the settlement OF the was the announcement
that the British War Mission made yesterday

O'Leary.

However earlier criticism OF the government for
remissness in rounding - spies may have been
justified. it is plainly acting with commend
able energy in this direction. Thus it is indicated
that many moro arrests OF agitators who have en-
deavored TO disguise their pro- Gcrnanism by pro-
fcSsion5 OF love Tor Ireland will follow the capture
OF OLeary. There is moral doubt as to their
guilt, says the Philadelphia North American, and
the legal proof ought not to be difficult obtain
Elsewhere, too the activities of the Secret Service
arc in evidence. Many dangerous alien enemies
have been found OF late, and only the lcniency OF
courts and jurics save them from the fate they
deserve.
1t is interesting to note that the American De
tense Society, organization which has hitherto
been disposed TO blame the authorities for lack OF
vigor in dealing with these internal pers now
takes occasion to praise the Federal officials for
the good work they have done. 1t was not alto
gethcr surprising that both the government and
the people should have been little tardy at the
beginning OF the war in realizing the imperative
need OF stern measures. But our troops arc now in
the thick OF The fighting. and public sentiment has

More Food, Cheaper Milk.

Milk helps your children to grow and
keep we'll Besides well-known food sub
stances it has something special which they
must have to grow Your children can get
little of this from other foods, but not
enough. Give your boys and girls milk for
their chance to grow.
We take that from Food Leaflet No. II of the
L, S. Food Administration.
Some parents think that milk at its present
price is too expensive to feed children 1t isn't.
Milk at IA cents a quart is cheaper and better
food for children than ham at IS cents pound,
steak at 80 cents, eggs at 40 cents dozen, or
poultry at 3S cents pound.
Dairy experts say that the price Of milk may be
kept down if dairy owners find ready market
for all by-products of their dairies 1t is because
so few of have come to know the food value
of other dairy products that milk production costs
are so high.
OF these by-products, especially cottage cheese
and buttermilk are most wastefully neglected by
the great American public Both rich in food
values, economical in cost, and pleasing to the
taste. large consumption here means the saving
of more wheat and meat for "over there"
By forming cottage cheese and buttermilk
habit we increase our food supply and at the
same time reduce the cost of dairy production of
butter and milk.

The American Marine.

Wherever they be- on land or sea, when the
voice Of duty calls,
They're alert and true to dare and do; no
peril our lads appals.
With true Yankee grit they will do their
"bt" through storinest battle SCENES,
And the Tcuton shell that was made in hell
has no terror for our Marines.
Away In the front where the battles brunt
Is winnowing men like chaff
American lads, the sons Of their dads, keep
fighting right on and laugh!
Oh, they've hexrts of steel, no fear do they
feel for the Teutons fiery screens"
Or his poison guns, and they'll get the Huns,
for, they are our own Marines!
Then, here's to the boys Americas joys, to
gallant lads in Francel
To the Stars and Stripes, the immortal types
of Democracy's advance!
To the men who know how to meet the foe
and who show what courage meansl
Uncle Sam is proud of that fearless crowd,

On Central Park West a NANCY
mongrel type OF dog toppled over
into the gutter painting and rolling
its eyes. I.inousines bound for the
park stopped. Women whose
clothes bespoke wealth stepped out
and took charge of the dog. They
sent a policeman after water. In a
short while the dog was revived
and then was placed in one of the
cars and taken to the Bide-a-Wee
Home for stray animals.
The New York Telephone Com
pany has announced the discontinu-
alton of answering questions for
the time of day. The central office
operators answered 25O,o0o. of these
requests daily and the time and
equipment are needed for war serv-
ice. 1t is a foretaste of the fact
that the New York public has got
to accustom itself to being denied
many privileges that were permit
ted before the war. Very few are
grumbling. however. In almost
every large concern many before
the war courtesies have been abol-
ished. 1t is particularly noticeable
in department stores. theaters and
hotels.
