Australian troops holding posi- tions astride the Sommer river east of Amiens and north of Hnmei have swept the Germans back over front of more than mile anu straightened out an awkward an- gle held by the Germans since the Australians and Americans carried their lines forward in their spirited attack July 4.
 Berlin mentions local attacks in the CIiSnon sector, which is held by Americans, and between the Marne and Rheims.
 Italian forces operating on the extreme left wing of the allied line in Albania have struck hard at Austrian positions nlong the Voyu- sa (vojutza) river, which flows into the Adriatic about 20 miles north of the town of Aveiona, one of the most important places in southern Albania. Vienna admits that the Austrian '.advanced posts have been withdrawn to their main, positions" The report from Aus trian headquarters probably refers to the action mentioned in the French official statement on Sun day night. It was snid by the war office at Paris that French and Italian forces had seized heights in western Albania and had held them against counter attacks.
 Although the movement Is as yet not fully developed, 1t may he that . serious offensive operation has been initiated there. Italian naval vessels would be able to CO., operate with the land forccS and if the line is pushed back q very great distance. relocation of the enemy lines running over the mountains into Macedonia might be necessary. The fighting north of Avlona has been going on for at least three days. which indicates that it may be more than mere local action.
 Events arc moving with rnpidity in Russia since the assassination of Count V0n Mirbach, the German ambassador at Moscow. Rurn0rs of . counter revolution at Moscow come from various sources. but oth- CT dispatches say that the upris- ing has been crushed, and several hundred of the revolutionists are under arrest.
 Germany seems on the eve of relocating the Brest-Litovsk pence treaty to the 'sscrap of paper" cate gory. for there are indications that German troops may be sent to MOs- cow in the near future. There are large TeutOnic forces within 800 miles of Moscow. and it is reported that they are being heavily rein forced. Dispatches say Emperor William has forbidden the foreign office to negotiate in any way with Russian emissaries.
 There is . threat of a new of fensivc against Italy, this time die rected from the Trentino front. and carried through by large Austrian forces led by German shock troops sent to that sector of the Italian line. Large bodies of German troops are reported concentrating preparatory to launching the blow to revenge the utter defeat of the Austrian attempt to enter the Ve- netinn plains.

fee were a little higher, the abattoirj
would show a p~rofit---and the butcher
would promptly tack the extra cost
onto the price Of meat. So the CON
sunlers pay it anyway, and they are
perfectly willing to do so.
There is one source Of revenue that
the abattoir a not succeeded in rails
ing. That. is the evenue from the
fertilizer made in the rendering tank.
They did make fertilizer from the
waste Of the killing floor. but the
quantity was comparatively small and
they found difficulty In disposing OF. it.
Whether that difficulty was caused BY
a lack of demand, or; by q slight lack

As to Sanitation.
In conclusion the writer points out
that, according to his personal view Of
the matter, a more efficient system Of
sanitary control than the present
should be established. No criticism is
offered, but the writer Of the article
thinks that there is never anything so
perfect that there is not room for inn
provement, and for this reason he
thinks the management of municipal
abattofrs :. should be directed by
veterinarians: Special training is re-
quired for this sort of work." he says,
and then adds:
There is no disposition here to
minimize the value of the Grand
Forks abattoir to that city. nor is there
any disposition in the people of thai
city to minimize it's value. AS a mat
ter of fact. the people Of Grand Forks
would not go back to the old system IL
they had to pay the entire expense of

The Grand Forks city.abattoirS upon
several occasions attracting attention
from far and wide, u.s. the subject OF
an interesting article appearing ina
recentsissue of ''The Farmer" an agi-
cultural periodical issued at ST. Paul.
Mimi. The article which occupies al
most two large pages, Is replete with
nnd also contains sone comments
upon the system of sanitary inspection
in vogue here and elsewhere.
In the course OF the article it is
pointed out that the carliest.important
municipal abattoirt was established
nine years ago at Paris Texas. and
that the institution most closely re-
sembling hat in the northwest is the
Grand Forks plant. Parts Of the ar
ticle reads as follows: sM

tons took the material form Of ram

of filth and ~unspeakable corruption.
People living in that section of the
town were subjected to the most Of
fensive odors. People passing on the
beautiful driveway which led in that
direction were driven back by the
stencil that met their nostrils and the
sights which met their eyes. No
measures of sanitation could be en-
forced, nor We're they regarded. There
was no official inspection of the
animals. which entered. there for
slaughter or of the meat that emerged
for public consumption. Grand Forks
did not know what it was eating, and
the entire meat situation of the city
was in a deplorable condition. .
Different Now. .
THAT was four or five years ago-a
condition which still appertains to far
too many towns and cities where there
is no municipal supervision of meat
supplies. Today things are different
in Grand Forks. In 1901 an ordi-
lawful to kill or dress any cattle, hogs
or sheep in. the city except in a duly
authorized and licensed slaughter
house. Such a slaughter-house must
have concrete floors n walls, the
floors draining to a sewer in the cen
ter, and be equipped with the proper
appliances for sanitary slaughter. 1t
became unlawful to kill for consump-
ton any animal that was not free from
disease and in a fit condition to be
dressed for human food.
This ordinance effected some inn
provement, but it was not an easy
matter for the butchers to comply
with it's provisions without an ex-
penditure that their individual bust
nesses could hardly stand. So the
City decided to build a public slaugh-
ter-house. issue a license only to it,
and compel the slaughter under one
roof. of all the animals killed for local
consumption. That is how the mu-
nicipal abattoir at Grand Forks came
about. ~

MIR. Wells is right in asserting that
God permits US to struggle with the
problem and achieve the self govern

right in asserting that God has a
great problem and that we should
sympathize and cooperate with Him in
His struggle. But Gods problem is
not to combat evil with finite power.

think only Of infinite power in God,
then we must conceive Of men as puD

strict logic, Mr.. Wells idea of what
an infinite God would and should do
implies an autocratic form of govern
ment closely analogous to that Of the
Kaiser. Gods kingdom is democracy
hence. He employs moral and person
