has been no news of further progress
there by the British.
Along the Chaulnes-R -Roye sector Of
the line there is comparative quiet.
This region has not been mentioned
in recent advices. Although the
French are known to be close to
Noyon, that city is still held by the
Germans. The French hold. ground
along the southern bank of the Oise,
and have been reported to be across
it at two points, but they appear to
have ceased their attacks for the
moment, seeming to be waiting for
the outcome of the fighting in Picar-
dy and Artois.
Held Up on Hills.
The left bank of the Ailette is also
held by the French. There have
been reports that they have crossed
this stream, but these have not been
officially confirmed. South of the
Ailette, the French appear to be def
initely held up on the hills north Of
Scissors. Their position there, how
ever, would seem to render the Ger
man positions near Scissors unten-
able.
Trench raids by the French in the
Lorraine sector are reported from the
French war Office. This activity in
what has been for some time a quiet
sector may be the prelude to an at
tack against the Germans there. but
there is nothing yet to substantiate
this suggestion.
Light sea forces have had rather
slight encounter off Dunkirk, France.
Both the British and German official
reports state that losses were inhict-
ed by their respective units. but deny
suffering any losses.
The diplomatic situation between
Spain and Germany seems to be quite
delicate as the result of the decision
on the part of the former to take over
on a ton-for-ton basis German ships
to replace Spanish ships lost through
attacks by submarines. 1t is reported
that Berlin has sent a protest to
Madrid, but has not agreed to limit
the submarine warfare or guarantee
Spain against further losses.

BOLSHEvIkI ASK
ALLIES TO KEEP

Japanese-American Statement
of Reasons for Intervention
Declared Unfounded by
Soviet Government.

Amsterdam, Aug. z4.-The Rus
sian bolshevik government has re-
piled to the Japanese-American mes
sage to the Russian people explain
ing the motives of the intervention in
Siberia. The version of the Russian
reply appearing in the Tageblatt Of
Berlin, as telegraphed from Stock.
holm under date of August p. says:
"The statement made by the Ameri-
can and Japanese governments is not
based on accurate information. The
Czecho-Slovak detachments are not
menaced by either Germans or Aus
trians. On the soil of the soviet re-
public the battle continues between
the red soviet army. created by peas
ants and workers on one hand. and
Czecho-Slovak detachments, in con-
cert with land owners, the burgeolsie
and counter-revolutionaries. on the
other.
I'm this battle the workmen and
peasants are defending the revolu-
ton which is endangered by a coun-
ter-revolution aided and abetted by
the ho-Slovaks.
"The soviet government is con-
vinced that its enemies are only at
tempting to blind proletarian elc.
ments of the population and that they
seek to deceive them by fostering i'll
them the belief that Germans and
Austrians are menacing the Czecho-
Slovaks.
Should the grounds of this attack
on the soviet republic be really those
stated in the Japo-American message
the soviet government suggests that
the governments exactly formulate
their wishes in the matter"

He said these young men are on the

to take these boys away from their

MEAT NATIONS IN
 ENGLAND INCREASED

Washington, May 30.-British work
 ngmen whose meat ration during the past few weeks dropped almost to the vanishing point now are back on tie normal allowance under the compuls- ory rationing system.
 A cablegram to the administration from the British m nistry of food to- day announced that this had been made possible "thanks to the splendid response from America
 Supplies of butter and cheese still are short in England but imports from the United States are expected to relieve that situation also.
 No reserve of any food is in sight, however, in spite of the decreased consumption which has accomplished strict enforcement of rationing.
 During April tLe United States sent to England 35905S,0O0 pounds of beef and pork products compared with 1G1 0000O0 pounds in April 1917. and 43,000000 pounds in the same month of 1914, before the war began.

CARD OF THANKS.

I herewith desire to thank my friends for the support they gave mo in the primary election. As my time was almost entirely occupied in driv- ing my oil car, I did very little per sonal work in soliciting votes, and consequently lost a great deal of sup port I otherwise would have gotten but it was especially gratifying to ob- serve that my heaviest vote was poll ed in the township and wards where 1 am best known
 It is with much pride that I can say that l codnucted a clean and gentle manly campaign. and wish to thank my opponents for doing likewise
 If 1t is my pleasure "o run for office in the future I hone shall have for my opponents as sentlemaDly a people as I had this time
 My successful opponent. Mr. Lam ham, has my hearty congratulations and promises of my support in the general election.
 Yours very respectfully
