Not long ago we heard sermon
in which the preacher referred to
the fact that, ever since the poor
fellow on bis way to Jerlco fell
among thieves, was robbed and
left half dead, "hold-up" men had
existed in the world, and were to
be found in every community.
They do not always come at you
with a gun and demand your
pocket-pook, but finding you in
straights--in need of fuel, food,
feed, money or something else
VIII their work with the gun of
extortion, a species of robbery that
passes under the guise of shrewd
trading.
in one of our exchanges we
noticed the idea advanced along a
similar line; He referred to the
willingness of the average Amerl-
can to conform to and comply with
all the food regulations of the gov
eminent, aid in the conservation
and reasonable distribution OF food
stuffs, and deplored the fact that
in almost every section of the
, teun!ry were to be found COM
mereial hogs that had to have a
legal ring placed in their shouts in
order to hold them in check. Men
disposed to profit at the expense
Of the nation in war time; use
their dollars to speculate in food
essentials while their neighbors sui
fered as a result; that "a pig in
every family" is an albright slogan
for the nation--though literally
;mnossible--but away with the
zone hog" in community.
OF course, none of this apply to
Hipbland, but it shows that there
really is that sort of thing IN the
world, and how ugly it sounds to
be called a human hog!

from verdun to help around KENNEL.
Under him are five divisions or 60.-
900 men and Won Eberhardt with an
other five divisions is at his left. To-
gether these 10 divisions hammered
away yesterday. making only slight
headway after the capture of Kem44

Sieger tried to advance toward
Ypres, asiride the Ypres-comines ca
nal but the British counterad brilli-
antly. retaking lost ground and estab-
fishing strong positions.
Won Eberhardt's hill men were
hurled out OF Drancourte four times
and were unable to push on after oc-
cupying the place after the fifth
charge. Likewise they were too ex-
hausted after taking KENNEL to sue
coed in turning Mount scherpen-

Throughout the Ypres front the
German guns numbered ceaslessly.
