DIRECTIONS FOR
 PACKING FARM PRODUCTS
 SHIPPED BY PARCEL POST

Butter-Should be well wrapped, especially in hot weather, so as to keep out the heat. Corrugated pa perboard seems to be the best ma terial for small shipments. Boxes of this material may be bought already made, or may be homemade from store boxes of heavy corrugated pa perboard. Butter should first be wrapped in butter parchment paper, second, in several sheets of newspa- per, then put in the corrugated pa perboard, and finally wrapped in heavy wrapping paper. The whole package should then be cooled.
 Eggs-Should usually be packed iii specially manufactured heavy corru- gated paperboard packages, sold by many firms for this purpose. For fifteen dozen one end may be sawed off a thirty dozen wooden case, but usually wooden cases are too heavy, and corrugated paperboard is bet ter.
 Dressed Poultry-May be placed in a corrugated paperboard box, but this box is not absolutely necessary if the chicken is first wiped dry then wrap ped in large piece of butter parch- ment paper, and finally in a good piece of heavy wrapping paper. In very hot weather an extra wrapping of several sheets of newspaper keeps out the heat. The whole package should be well cooled before shipping and marked "Perishable.''
 egetabIes-Market baskets, peach baskets, and other packages may be used with success. A lining of paper should often be used to keep out hot air
 Fruits-Any standard fruit package weighing under 70 pounds may be shipped by parcel post within the first and second zones. Packages over this weight must be shipped by other means.
 Miscellaneous Products-When In doubt about packing miscellaneous products ask your postmaster Pack ages should be kept as cheap in price as will still allow them to be safe and acceptable to the postal authorities.
 Postage-Parcel post packages within the first and second zones will require postage four cents in value over the weight in pounds. For exam pie a nine-pound package requires thirteen cents postage.

Austrian Kings Offer
 of Freedom Too Late
Advices Indicate King Charles Will
 Surrender.

Washington, Oct. 19-Chaotic con- ditions in Austria-Hungary, so evi@ denced by reports received from abroad yesterday, are engaging the at tention of officials and diplomats here. The belief is common that Aus. tria is on the verge of collapse. The reformers promised by the Emperor in his manifesto yesterday have come too late. Meantime. the Presidents answer to the Austrian plea for peace has not yet gone forward.
 Events within the dual monarchy have shown the wisdom of his policy of delay, it was said yesterday after noon, for the desire for peace 7 Aus tria far outweighs in popular manifes- tadons, at any rate, the like desire in Germany.
 Official dispatches from France this afternoon show actual revolution may break out any time. At this time Aus tria is a finder box which needs but a spark to set the fire of rebellion raging throughout the land, 1t was said. One dispatch which gives an insight into the state of affairs, said:
 Events are succeeding each other with extraordinary rapidity in Aus tria. At the time when Count Burian admits in the presence of the Hun garian delegation that the military sit uation makes 1t impossible to prolong the war much longer, the states of the dual-monarchy are almost in rev0lu- ton.
 "All the oppressed peoples are to proclaim their independence so as evade a complete collapse, the Vienna and Budapest governments are trying to accomplish an extreme transforma- ton that comes too late. Austria an. nounces that she will become a con- 1 federation at the same time that Hun gary solemnly denounces the dualism and wants to have it changed into a government of personal union, in which the emperor king would be the sole link.
 "The Magyars hope to be able to do | this so they may maintain their op- pressive domination of nations such as the Croats, Serbians and Ruman- l ians"
 It would not be surprising that if | Austria, driven to extreme necessity, would address another plea to the President, in the absence of word fEom him. If such plea came, of i ficials believe, it would amount to unconditional surrender, as every in- i dication is to the effect that Austria cannot continue much longer as an active foe.
 The State Department yesterday
 wes barren of news of Germany Nothing is known here of Germany answer to the Presidents decision. It
 has not been received at the Swiss
 Legation, although 1t is expected at any time.-

DIR. DAY TO PREACH
 ON "GOD'S PART"

Civilization is at war to save its soul. An even greater fight is the personal fight for character. In that war there are no exceptions, no peace, not even peace through vic tory. From the cradle to the grave everyone of us mst always fight for his soul. We are often defea ted. The Hebrew poet knew the human ex- perience of all when he said, My sins are mightier than l." After we have done our best Gods part comes in. Gods Part" is the subject of Dr. William Horace Days Sunday morn- ing sermon at the United Church. We need to know what God promises to do for the tempted; we need to un- derstand the conditions God lays down, and we need to remember how God has fulfilled His promise to help. There is no greater text in the Bible than Hebrews 7:25, "He is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing his ever liveth to make intercession for them"
 A report of the weeks drive for Liberty Bonds by the United Church Fourth Liberty Loan Comittee will be given Sunday morning. MT. George Sherwood is chairman of that com mittee, which also includes MT. H. W. Hincks, treasurer, and MT. w. E. Seeley.
 The musical program for the morn ing service includes Meditation" by E. d'Evry as the organ prelude Awake and Sing" an anthem by William G. Hammond, and T Will Lift Up Mine Eyes" by Galbraith as an offertory.
 The Sunday school held at 1C o'clock will have special opening ex- ercises. One of the young mems classes will have charge of the show ing of some stereopticon views.

British Meeting Little Opposition in Lille Salient Belgian Airmen Work Havoc Among Enc my Forces 100000 Civilians Liberated in TurcOing and ROubaix- American Tanks Do Great WOrk-Discover Infernal Machines in DugOuts

With the Allied Forces in Flanders, Friday, 10 p. m., Oct. 1S-(By the Associated Press) - French cavalry were reported tonight to have reached the outskirts of Ghent.> There is no official confirmation. The infantry is pushing fast after the mounted forces. The reports indicate a continuation of the rapid Allied advance in the Bel gian coast sector.
 The British are meeting with little opposition in the Lille salient and to the northward. In most places difh- culty IS found in keeping contact with the enemy's main forces owing to the rapidity of the retreat.
 With the Allied Armies in France and Belgium, Friday, Oct. IS, 10 p. m. -(By the Asso ciated Press)-Brit- ish and American troops southeast of Le Cateau captured 1900 prisoners and 12o guns today and have advanc- ed about four miles since the attack began yesterday morning. The Brit ish now are more than three miles southeast of Lille. On the Belgian coast, British warships are shelling the retreating Germans.
 Lille is fast being left behind by the advancing Fifth British army. In spite of German posts established north of Roubaix and Turcouing, these rich manufacturing cities have been taken. The Germans blew up the bridges leading into Bruges and left strong rear guards there, but these forces were sacrificed by the enemy while the main body of his troops moved eastward from the city and those near the coast hastened to escape.
 Belgian airmen have worked great havoc among the enemy forces fleeing through the gap between Bruges and the Dutch frontier.
 More cannon have been brought up and all last night and today they have been pumping shells into the Bottle Neck through which the Ger mans are retreating. The number of Germans killed in this area since yesterday are believed to be tremend- ous.
 Today's reports include masses of captured documents which have fall en into the hands of the allied sol diers. They treat of all subjects, but one in all they contain a sub-cur- rent of despair.
 Count von Waldersee wrote that he knew his regiment was going to be attacked and warned his men that the. attack must be broken down. In- cidenta1ly the assault referred to re- suited in the smashing of his regi- | ment.
 Many of the towns and localities where the allied troops have swept past, celebrations over their deliver ance from the Germans were carried on all day today by the people. In Lille there were crowds in the streets singing. cheering and throwing roses everywhere.
 In the neighborhood of Turcoing and Roubaix more than 100000 civil 1 fans have been liberated

Cambrai, Friday, Oct. 1S-(By the Associated Press)-Tanks manned by Americans trained in England led the assault against the German forces en- trenched on the eastern side of the l Selle river yesterday. They were l faced by German marine divisions which put up a hard fight. Accord | ing to latest reports, the Allies still are gaining ground against the desper- ate resistance of the enemy. At one point the Germans delivered a coun- ter attack and momentarily gained ground, but the tanks passed over and beyond the high ground where the Germans were making their stand and quickly drove the enemy out o1 his trenches. American engineers working under heavy machine gur fire, placed bridges across the river and then the American and British in. fantry swept across.
