Each day OF the campaign brings
stories OF allied successes that are
pleasing reading to the people Of the
allied nations.
So great and continued were Tues

British armies that 1t Is difficult to
decide. where to begin in telling the
story. Geographically the capture of
Roye, In Picardy, the key to Nesle, BY
the French first army Is the principal
result OF a day OF many triumphs.
From strategic and moral standpoint,
the foremost achievement was the rip
ping of hole into the old Hindenburg

SOLDIERS LIKED WAR BREAD
British Fighting Men Found Their
Health improved Through Use Of
unboIted Wheat Meal.

A little more than a century ago,
when Britain had been fighting for
years against Napoleon, food became
very scarce. Following Is from book
on bread-making. written by Sylvester
Graham, In 1887:
ain order to conserve wheat as much
az possible. the British government orr
dered that the army should be supplied
with bread made from unbolted wheat
meal, 1. e., simply the wheat ground
without having the bran or mlddllngs
removed. The soldiers were at first
displeased with the bread and refused
TO eat 1t, even casting 1t from them In
great rage, but after two or three
weeks they began to be much pleased
with 1t and preferred IL TO the One
dour bread.
1.-THE result of this experiment was.
that not only was the wheat made to
go further, but the health Of the sol-
diers improved so much and SO MANS
testify In the course of a few months
that 1t became matter Of common REL
mark among themselves and of 0bser7
walton and surprise among the officers
and physicians Of the army. They ex7
pressed themselves with confidence
and zeal on the subject. The public
declared that the soldiers were never
30 healthy and robust. The public pa7
pers were for months filed with praise
Of whole-wheat bread, and 1t was reg
ularly introduced into families.
"Still, after this experiment with
such happy results and SO general and
full testimony had been given in fa-
or Of the coarse-wheat bread, when
large supplies of superfne -four came
in from America, and the crops from
home became again abundant and the
act Of parliament regarding the food
Of the army became extinct, most OF
the people by degrees returned to their
old habits OF eating fine bread" az

HUNS EXPECT INVASION.
German Retirement In West Making
Worst Possible impression.

who has just returned to Amsterdam
from small village near Bonn on tho
Rhine. In statement to the Amster-
dam correspondent or the Daily Ex-
press she said:
1.-THE impression gathered from what
/ saw and heard in Germany was one
of real despair. The German retire
ment in the west is making the worst
possible impression.
"The idea that German soil Is to re.
main inviolate has disappeared COM
pletely. Many families are preparing
to leave for central Germany.

simply terrific. When you read. There
was some material damage 1t means

growth of the industry may be seen
from the steady increase In the i'm.

returns state that the import In 1917

for 1915. Formerly most Of the auto-
mobile tires used In Japan were inn
ported Into that country, but now the
greater part OF Japan's needs are sup
piled by domestic manufacturers. The
export of automobile tires has also
