the proper authorities. The bill of fare
is examined TO see if the prices charg-
ed are considered fair, and if so it is
stamped to this effect. a copy of the
bill of fare bearing this stamp must
then be posted conspicuOusly in the
restaurant, and the prices charged for
food must not exceed those posted. It

PRESIDENT PRAISES

A step in the right direction 10 aid

announcement by President Wilson
that those mine-workers who are

given deferred classification and it is

There is where the rub comes.

MHERE WE'RE TnE U.ROATsi

Many of the details of the capture OF
sinking of German submarines are me-
cessarily kept from the public. After
the war is over we may hope to know
more of the work of the Allied fleets
in their war against the U-boats. but
for the present patriots are willing to
forego the thrilling facts
There are some signs, however,
which the ordinary citizen can read
for himself One, of which we are
perhaps most proud, is the successful
transport of troops from our shores to
the war zone. unframed by the u
boats. Another is brought out by sim
pie statements from the food admin
istration.
England has been able TO lift her
restrictions on the consumption OF
bacon. Why? Pork exports from this
country amounted TO 169. 1871 .0OO
pounds Our allies received SIS per

ceding the war our average monthly
expectation OF pork was about Al
531 $50 pounds
The June beef record is interesting
too Before the war the monthly
average OF a three-year period was
1.066,o00 pounds. In June OF this year
We exported s21T9.ooo pounds OF

A sRyHN.FOLD TASK

However much women may be do

be a long long time before the women
of America will be called upon to bear

asking for millions Of dollars for
war work?
The hostess houses operated in
army environments are one form of its
beautiful and benevolent work. The
cheerful. big rooms where a chap can
meet his mother or sister or sweet
heart have proved blessings TO many a
lonely soldier. But the hostess houses
are not going to cost fifteen million
dollars

London, Aug. 20.-The situation in
the main fighting front in France is
summed up by the Reuter- correspon-
dent with the, French armies as fol-
lows:
I'VE have arrived at the stage in
this battle corresponding to that which
Germany reached at the end of March,
and early in June after long, bloody
and exhausting advances on the heels
of inferior opposing numbers. We
counted firmly on the arrival of the
moment when the reserves would be
able to check the German. advance
and prepare the flank attacks which,
have by their success restored the mi
tiative to us. The enemy in turn is
using that weapon against us. His
reserves are not yet exhausted and
however he may grudge the necessity
OF having to waste them in a defen-
sive battle which in the end can only
be a prelude to a retreat, he may still
possess 80 fresh divisions as well as
100000 youths of the class of 1920.
Our successes must be carefully
planned and manfully won"

With an agreement reached to re-

Even If no vote is obtained by that
