Without pause, the British forCe'
battling against the Germans are mcy-
ing forward in the direction of Ba-
paume. The fighting has been eX-
tremely heavy, but there has beer
stopping Field Marshal Haigs men
and the latest report from BRUSH
headquarters says they are making
progress along the entire front oI
/ tho British attack.
The important towns of B:ay
Thiepval and Grandcourt, together
with several smaller places have been
captured, and more than 1000 prison
ers have been taken in the latest ad-
vance of the British army, which now
occupies the strategically important
Thiepval ridge.
Around Miraumont, which lies lit
tie north of Grandeourt, the fighting
has been of great intensity and hrs
place apparently has fallen. as Hai9 S
report says that "the enemy held our

umns.
British detachments have reached
Avesnes-1ez-B -Bapaume which lies very
close to Bapaume, whose capture is
expected at an early date, but not
without severe fighting
American troops holding the ground
around Fismes have moved mp to the
Soissons-Rheims road along a front Of
about half mile. while the French
though not extensively engaged, nave
made some progress south of Crecy-
au-Mont.
Fighting a battle which in its in
tensity rivals any combat of the war
along the Western front, the British
forces from the Cojeul river, near Ar
ras to a point far south OF the Somme
are apparently slowly gaining ground
'at some points.
The storm center of the battle duf-
I! ing the past day has seemed to be in
the neighborhood of Bapaume Eariy

ish troops within a couple of miles oi

from the allies, had rushed new forces

ITALIAN MARINER
DODCED U-BOATS
TOOK UNCHARTER COURSE
RATHER THAN RISK BE-
ING TORPEDOED.

An Atlantic Port, Feb. 2S.-How
the master of an Italian passenger
liner, the Dante Alighicri, lodged a
fleet Of submarines lying in wait Tor
him in the Mediterranean by ven
turing a midnight passage through
an uncharted channel between a
small island and the Spanish coast
was related by passengers Of the
ship on her arrival here today.
The wisdom OF the captain S move
was demonstrated the following
morning, they said, when lifeboats
were sighted carrying passengers
and crews Of three torpedoed yes
sells out Of a convoy of five which
the Dante Alighieri had passed only
"a hours before. The captain de-
cided to risk wrecking his ship i'll
the channel rather than take
chances with the U-boats.
The names of the three ships sent
to the bottom were the Due di &c
nova, a passenger vessel; the Vile
de Ncrdun, and the Caprera, all
Italian. The present OF the subma-
rines in their path was learned by
the master of the Dante Alighieri
through wireless warnings. The life
boats were not picked up, as they
were within few miles Of the Span
ish coast and the occupants sig
nailed that they preferred to land.
Passage through the unlighted
and dangerous channel, only 500
feet wide, was made after the mas
ter Of the liner had notified all his
passengers of the danger. The steer
age passengers, comprising the ma
jority, were brought to the cabin
decks, life belts were distributed
boats partly lowered and all prepa-
rationS made to abandon the vessel
should she strike the rocks.

FRENCH TO TEACH THRIFT.

Portlan dOrcgonian: II reports
Of the amount Of fraternizing which
goes on between American soldiers
and French girls in France are to be
credited a considerable number Of
French wives will come to America
when the army returns, and the al
lance will become permanent,
though not formally established by
treaty. One result will be a great
propaganda for French thrift, which
is the most sadly needed OF virtues
in the American makeup.
Thrift in the use of food is to be
enforced on all kinds Of caterers for
the public by Mr.. Hoover, but he is
compelled by the immensity of the
task to rely on voluntary action by
the practice Of that virtue in each
household, though it is needed no
less there. Many housewives have
pledged themselves to save food and
earnestly intend to keep the pledge,
but do not know how to go about it.
This fact is illustrated in cur
rent publication by story in which
a young Frenchman feeds a family
of eleven abundantly at a cost of 10
cents head for a whole day, using
few things besides those which
Americans would throw away or
pass by as worthless. We have had
such abundance and variety that we
are accustomed to pick the titbits
from natures lavish larder, and
have done so for so long a time that
we have forgotten that the rest has
any value at all. We need a few
thousand French housewives to
teach rs

An Unexpected Meeting.

Washington Star; An elderly
German general was made prisoner
at Cambria, and took his hard luck
very badly. lie cursed and swore
and growled and time after time he
said:
"Vell there's one consolation,
anyhow, I've got an officer son back
there in the trenches on the other
side of no mans land, and he's kill
ing fifteen or twenty of you English
a day"
The old general was finishing this
favorite speech of his for the hun
dredth time as the prison ship he
was on put in at Southampton, and
a cherry voice hailed him in Ger
man from the pier
Hello, fatherl" it shouted. "Have
they got you, too?"
