A Berlin dispatch to Amsterdam de-
plores the destruction Of italian art
works by Italians In the course of their
recent retreat Considering the manner
In which the Germans treated French
and Belgian art, it may be concluded
that IL there is any sincerity In their
present expressions Of regret 1t Is re-
ferable to the circumstance that they
expected to carry off as plunder the
italian pictures and sculptures which
they claim to have been ruined, but
many OF which, probably, have been
merely hidden awaiting the end OF the
war

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

Our boys must have their smokes.
Send them cigarettes" This is
familiar appeal now to all of us.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted" cigarette
LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this
favorits brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home.
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quality
of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
: toasted. sits toasted" was the $50
: gan" that made a great success of
LUCKY STRIKE in less than year.
Now the American Tobacco Co. is
making IS million LUCKY STRIKE
Cigarettes day.
A good part of this immense pro-
duction is making its way across the
water to cheer our boys. The Red
Cross has distributed thousands of

Some London diplomats, still cheered
by the obsession that Germany can be
starved, are chortling over the reduc-
ton of the -four allowance TO seven
pounds q week. Plenty-if the seven
pounds are put into certain dumplings

they are being fed when chewing on

MORE FIGHTING IN WEEK
THAN DURING MONTHS

LONDON, June 22.-In a letter re
ceived recently lieutenant in a Lon
don regiment says, according to the
Daily News:
ITO give you some idea of our last
seven days, we were gassed and
shelled and attacked every night and
morning. Although we suffered cas-
ualties, / am proud to say we never
gave an inch, and the casualties we
inflicted on the enemy were enor
nous. In parts of our front they lie
eight and nine deep of wounded and
dead. I've seen more fighting during
the last month than during the rest
Of my previous fifteen months actual
experience in the line put together
One day we finished up with our fists,
and, as you may guess, in that art
we had Fritz beaten to FRAGILE. We
are now enjoying few days rest"

CONQUERED TERRITORIES
HELD UP As AN EXAMPLE

AMSTERDAM, June 24.-One of tn.
official war loan advertisements now
appearing in the German newspapers
gives an unattended glimpse of the
German rule in occupied countries. 1t
says
How can any German still hesitate
to subscribe for the war loan? You
who are faint hearted, go and ask the
Belglans, the Serbians, the Russians,
the Italians, what it means to have the
enemy in that country. Do you not
realize that it is your support of the
loan only that can keep the horrors
of an enemy occupation from Ger
many's soil?"

from giving their names, asked me to go tc
their stand for week, count the cash in the
drawer on Monday, and then count it again
Saturday night, balance up, and audit their

Another butcher of wide reputation and
business experience offered to swear to an af-

In other words, the retailer declares he
is up against a situation over which he has
no control, and that he is making NO money
