Under the United States Food Ad-
ministration's new policy OF entirely
voluntary food saving. all regulations
enforcibly restricting the use of sugar
have been rescinded.
No penalty is now attached to pur-
chasing sugar in any amount, or to
serving any amount in restaurants.
Sugar bowls have been returned to

Although the enforcement Of sugar

American Red Cross relief commit
tee. under the Craftsmanship of the
American minister, DR.. Paul s..
Reinsch, aided by the American
troops stationed here, in an impro-

RHEIMS A RUIN
FROM HUN FIRE

Paris. April I9.-Rheims, which
has been on fire for a week. is now
nothing but a great pile of smoking
ruins. During the past week the
Germans have fired more than one
hundred thousand shells into the
heart of the city, according to the
correspondent of LIE Matin, and
flames from the burning building
can be seen by aviators 90 and 10
miles away.
There are no traces OF streets
and thorougfares which have dis
appeared from view under the &C
emulation of debris. Ancient
buildings in the Place Royale and
the Market place and the Musi-
clans house, which dates from the
sixteenth century, have been re-
duced to dust and ashes.
The vault OF the famous Rheims
cathedral, the correspondent says,
is falling stone by stone and soon
there will be nothing left of the edi-
fee but the west front and the pill
lars. Shells are still bursting all
around the building.
Notwithstanding the terrible
bombardment, 40 Paris f1remen are
still in the city, working to save
the furniture and portable effects
Of the Inhabitants. Some of them
have lost their lives. With the
Paris firemen are some local fire.

Field Marshal Haig's troops yes
terday had to meet one OF the Sc
verest tests yet put upon them in
withstanding a German effort to
broaden out the salient created be-
fore the early impetus of the Ger
man drive in the Lys battlefield
was spent.
They came through the ordeal
with colors flying and stopped the
German onrush. From Givenchy
to st. Vincent. an 11-mile sector
on the southerly side Of the salient,
German troops were hurled in
masses on the British position in
an effort to break to the southwest
behind Bethune.
Line Holds Firm.
The defensive line held firm, de-
spite repeated desperate assaults
which cost the Germans enormous
losses, and last night the battle
had died down to an artillery duel.

clare the British front is now more
secure than it has been for days.
Further efforts probably on an
equally determined nature may be

salient to rest comfortably where
they are.

Comrade Bromley in his address
said:
Our mission in 1898 seemed to
be unimportant but time has told.
We did not go forth to win an easy
victory over an inferior nation, but
to remove despot and set a people
free. We have always been the
champion Of liberty. we have beeen
born to be free, we have been raised
to be free and our ancestors fought
that we might be free. We do not
seek to conquer the world, neither
do we intend to be conquered by
any other nation in the world.
II suppose that Germany did feel
that we were a nation of towards
because we were slow to enter this
conflict, but 1t was not because we
were a nation of towards. When
we began to see that this was no
European conflict, that 1t was not
an issue Of the eastern hemisphere,
but a struggle OF autocracy against
democracy. we entered the fray.
I'VE do seek to conquer the
world. but not for our own ag-
grandizement We desire to trans
form the world with our ideals,
with our ethics. We desire that
every nation shall have a right to
be free and Independent. We be-
lieve in Liberty. but we believe that

ance at the close of yesterdays
fighting, the dispatch says. There
was only one point in the new
battle area where the enemy gained
anything, this being opposite the
Hill of Hinges, where he succeeded
in bridging La Bassee canal, but
the only Germans who crossed
came as prisoners.

simultaneously imperiling the Brit

Bethune.
French Help Important
1.-THE arrival OF the French sup
port is regarded as most import
ant. They are described as splen-
didly seasoned men. The sight of
the long blue lines marching up the
roads heartened the British, giving
them a fresh sense of security and
the news of the French aggressive
stroke south of Amiens still further
heartened the anxious watchers at
home. The British withdrawal east
of Ypres was due to the German ad-
vance from the south along the
Lys valley threatening communi-
cations of the Ypres army. Thus
the distance that this army would
have to retreat If the enemy looked
like breaking through the Cassel-
KENNEL line and heights has been
reduced. The result of yesterdays
fighting shows the enemy looks less
like breaking through than it did
and although the retirement in the
Ypres sector is regrettable, yet they
are no nearer to securing possess
session Of the important heights be-
tween them and the coast.
Masses Moved Down.
Before Mount KENNEL, the rug
ged hill that has already cost the
enemy so dearly, their masses are
advancing openly and are moved
down. The enemy here is trying to
break a way beyond Meteren and
west of Bailleul. Although we
abandoned Meteren and Wytschaete
the enemy's position is most uncom-
Portable.
"The German outposts were I'M
able to advance beyond the north
side of Meteren. 1t cannot be said
that the general situation Is less
anxious but there is undoubtedly
increasing confidence in the unity
OF the command. There is still ex-
pectation Of renewed thrusts at
Amiens and the French correspond
ents speak of the enormous enemy
concentrations between Arras and
Amiens."

ANOTHER ABSURDITY.

1t has been a time-honored custom for news
paper publishers to exchange copies OF their re-
spectivc papers, and of course it goes without
saving without charge. This is done to merely
avoid the unnecessary annoyance OF subscribing,
for to subscribe for publication that will in
turn subscribe for ones own publication can only
be waste Of time. But despite this fact, the
old custom has been knocked in the head by a
ruling of the department commanding economy.
A glaring absurdity when we consider that the
ruling economic nothing, but only forces an eX-
change of money between the publishers. AS
though for one publisher to send his publication
to another in exchange was not paying. Wheth-
er the cost is met by the publisher himself or by
another should not make any difference, so long
as the cost is met.
Along the same notion, there is the order
prohibiting the sending Of the home paper to the
boys lover there So far as we are concerned,
it is true that the boys who have left our town
have been receiving the Progressive-Mner with
out cost to them. In their case the consideration
is the service they willingly give the country
which service is as much for US as ror anybody
else, and if we choose to reward the boys with
news from their home town, We can see no reas-
on why We should not be allowed. If by giving
them the news they like to have and thus give
them a little pleasure to relieve their hardship
and homesckness. we feel amply repaid, and if
such payment is sufficient. whether the payment
is from gratitude or money, should make no
difference to the economy part of it. Yet, we
are prohibited. But the country is involved in
great war and We must obey orders whether we
consider them reasonable or not.
