FULL ALLIED TRIUMPH NEAR.
Hun Collapse at Hand, Wires Premier
CIemenceau to Council Heads.

Paris.--Premier Clemenceau tele-
graphed the presidents of the general
councils that they could rely upon the
government and Marshal Foch and his
magnificent staff and the allied mill
tary commanders to turn the present
success of the allied arms into a COM
plete and decisive collapse of the en-
emy.
"The splendid victories of the re-
cent weeks said M Clemenceau, Gin
which the spirit of our allies has so
magnificently rivaled ours, has def
nitely settled the fortune of war The
enemy bewildered, deceiving himself
as to his own strength, now is finding
out that he underestimate US.
THE results achieved are the first
fruits of our harvest Of rewards, the
highest of which will be having deliv-
cred the world from ruthless oppres-
sion and brutality.
Universal cooperation towards the
worlds regeneration will attain the
ideal goal for which so many genera
tions have been striving"

vERMIN ATTRACTED BY FOOD
II No Scraps Are Around There viii
Be Little Trouble With Ants, or
Reaches.

The surest way to keep house free
from ants is to leave no food lying
about on shelves or in open places,
where they can reach 1t. Ants go,
where they find food, and if the food
supplies of the household are kept In
ant-prOOf metal containers or In ice
boxes, and If all foods that may hap
pen to be scattered by children or 9th
ers Is cleaned up promptly, the ant
nuisance will be slight. Cake, bread,
sugar, meat, and like substances, are.
especially attractive to the ants, and
should be kept from them.
Reaches will not frequent rooms
unless they find some valuable food
material, and if such materials can
be kept from living rooms and Offices
or scrupulous care exercised to see
that no such material Is placed in
drawers where it can leave an attrac-
tive Odor or fragments of food, the
roach nuisance can be largely restrict
ed. to places where food necessarily
must be kept.

With the British Army in France,
Aug. 27.-While the Germans were
busily engaged in defending them
selves against the attacks of the Brit
ish and French armies from the An
Field Marshal Haig early Monday
morning struck another surprise blow
over new front north Of the old bat
tie zone. The new offensive was
launched from the east of Arras on
the Scarpe river and southwark to the
Cojeul. All along the front the Brit
ish pressed forward, at some places to
a depth of more than two miles, and
captured a half dozen or more vii
lagos, among them Monchy-le-Preux,
Guemappe and Wancourt.
Across the Cojeul the new British
attacks on the old battle front brought
them to the villages of Mory and st.
Leger, and farther south the small
town of Fevreuil, one and half miles
northeast of Bapaume, from which
about q mile.
Farther south the British are re-
ported unofficially to have reached
the western outskirts of Thilloy in
the nipper movement they are carry
ing out against Bapaume. With Haig's
men now standing we'll within gun
range of the town, it seems likely
that the Germans will be forced to
evacuate Bapaume in short order.
Additional gains also have been
made by the British east of Albert
and on both sides of the Somme river.
In fact, notwithstanding the efforts OF
the Germans through the use of large
reinforcements to held them in check.
the British and French all. along the
line from Albert to scissors have ma
terially bettered their positions and
carried further forward their plan of
making the Picardy battle ground un-
tenable for the enemy.
Fresnoy-les-Roye to the north and
st. Mard to the south of Roye, both
have been captured by the French, de-
mans, and Roye, like Bapaume in the
north apparently is in danger of be-
ing pinched out of the line in an en-
veloping movement. More than 600
prisoners were taken by the French
in the operation.
The operations of the British on the
northern part of the front from the
east of Arras to the region of Bulle-
court have brought them upon or very
near to the old Hindenburg line.
There is still considerable activity
on the eastern part of the battle front
in the Vosges mountain regions.
There has been an increase in the
activity in the Albanian theater. Here
the Austrians twice attacked the
Franco Italian troops, but were re-
pulsed Later the French slightly
withdrew their line in order to main
tain liaisOn with the Italians.
The British momentum apparently
increased in spite of the strong efforts
of the Germans to stay the oncOming
rush of tanks, cavalry and infantry.
More than II 900 German prisoners al
ready have been counted and the en-
emy losses in prisoners are said to be
in excess of the British casualties
Unofficially the number of prisoners
is placed at 10000.

peck green sweet peppers, two bushels
of string beans, six quarts of mush-

parsley and celery tops.
She made a dozen glasses of orange
and rhubarb marmalade. two dozen
glasses of apple and plum jelly, two
dozen glasses of raspberry jam, two
dozen glasses of Paradise jelly, and
eight quarts of beet relish and mus
tard pickles. She also raised a gar
den and had plenty of tomatoes,

all the regulations of the Food ad-
ministration. She is very enthusiastic
over the help which she received from
the College of Agriculture, and is
planning to conserve even more this
year.
