ment since the darkest day of week ago
 The British are holding everywhere in the face of the greatest German efforts. Ger man losses have proved to be beyond all comparison with the value of their gains. They have paid too much by far for the ground won and they must keep on or ac- knowledge defeat. Holding out against heavy odds, the British armies to the north ward are now reinforced and present a granite front to German hordes hemmed in in a narrow salient in low ground and sub ject to murdgous artillery fire day and night They must press on or retreat or pay an awful price to hold their ground. In the meantime it is definitely understood that the allies have not yet touched their great tactical and mobile reserves of about million men, In fine, Germany Is already de- feated in the present drive, still holding her gains, and the allied blow is yet to fall. Her losses of the flower of her armies.have been too high to admit of anything but a clear break of the allied lines and the capture of either the channel ports or the separation of the French and British armies and the de struction of the latter To British valor and British staying qualities and stubborn re- sistence to all the odds the enemy could summon, do the allies owe their position of the upper hand today after month of slaughter, grim and great Storm after storm has been weathered, cricis after crisis has been successfully met and passed If the Teuton wants more 1t is there for him, all along the unbroken British front.
 As details of the last German drive in Flanders come in from the special cores pondents on the field, one is impressed more and more with the heriosm and splen- did fighting qualities of the British troops. Position after position was held against the first big rush until every man was killed or taken. Machine gunners stayed on till en- tirely surrounded and then fought their way through. Riflemen held the trenches, staying the boches until the mechanism of their heated guns refused to work and then they fought on hand to hand with the bay onet and the butt With but very few ex- captions every position and village and wood and trench line gained by the enemy in this drive was given up to him by the holding troops under orders from the staff in order to save lives or prisoners. These brave troops retreated under orders; they were not driven back or routed. They were outnumbered and outflanked; not out fought. And, after two weeks of 1t, they are fighting still with the same gallantry and confidence and determination with which they faced the German onrush at Armentieries.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys a loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $20O,O00,000 year toward the
cost of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf OF four pounds
to sell at IS cents, the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at 5
cents

An Atlantic Port, June 18.-A Ger

days ago, according to report
brought here today by passengers
aboard an American steamship.
Officials of the vessel claim to have
been told the story OF the submarine
combat by members of the victorious
American undersea boats crew.
The American liner had pat mo
the mouth of Chesapeake Bay Tor

American submarine tender along
side which was moored the undersea
craft, which was taking on provisions
and fuel. officers of the vessel stated.
An interchange Of wireless messages
followed in which the submarine crew
ls reported to have told Of its victory.
The U-boat was sighted while the
American craft was patrollinG with
only her periscope visible, according
TO the story the American skipper is
alleged to have told. When within
range torpedo was released and
twenty seconds later microphones re-
corded a terrific explosion, he was
quoted as saying. Rising TO the sur
face, the American submarine cir
cled about on the lookout for sllyviv-
ore, but oil coming to the surface was
the only trace found of the vanGuished
raider, narrators of the story said
they had been told.
