hold food and even the Atlantic will
not be a barrier to the spread Of this
doctrine Of lawlessness In our own
country"
This is the warning note in al ap-
peal issued by Harry A. Wheeler, Hi
n0iS food administrator, reminding
Chicago that food conservation is still
necessary.
Mr.. Wheeler said further:
This country has been called
upon to make very few sacrifices ~
compared with those suffered BY our
allies. The food administration again
asks us to continue to save food. this
time for world relief. We ought to,
ana we will do this Willingly and un.

The fourth meal should be eliminated.
They are offensive to humanity as long

THE cessation Of hostilltioS has
made n greater demand on American
food supplies. We must ship twice
ms much food overseas this year as we
did last ana nearly four times more
than we shipped any year before the
war
while this program is big for the
entire country It means only a little
, effort and thought upon the part Of

tory Of the allies continues to tleveloo
Not only have the allied positions
been held intact against the enemy.s
assaults, but at certain points further
progress has been made.
The newspapers Of Paris remark
thaA the victory is growing not only in
relation to the ground reconqusred by
the allies but also in strategic iadvan-
tages. the importance of which IS being
constantly augmented.
The capture Of the village OF Epieds
and the passage OF the Mont st. Pere
region. according to Henri Hidou OF
the Journal, marks the breaking sf a
position which was the temporary
hinge OF the southwestern German
flank, and he predicts that the enemy
viii be, forced at other points.
French progress in sthe region OF
Oulchy-le- Chateau. says the Echo de
Paris. will soon render the German no.
sitions in that sector untenable. Now
ssitions In that sector untenable. New
forces OF General De Mitry's army have
crossed the Marne between Passy and
Dormans. says the Petit Journal
which concludes that the northern
bank of the Marine in this res:ion will
soon be cleared of the enemy.

soon will oblige them to straighten
their front between Soissons and
Rheims.
Allies Fail to Slow Down.
Each days operations bring further
proof of the completeness with which
the genius of General Foch has turned
the tables on the Germans. Instead of
slowing down to condition. of what
has been called stabilization, as the
general public, from experience. ex-
pected. the allies continue to push for
ward in the face of determined and
skillful resistance by the Germans, who
have had time to recover from the first
shock OF surprise
The enemy. according to reports, now
has eighty-five divisions in the battle
zone. 100000 men of which are in the
region north of the Marne. In the opin-
ion of military observers the violent
German resistance is due to more po-
litical consideration. for it is to the i'm
mediate interest of General Ludendorff
from military standpoint to straight
en- out his lines without delay.
General Foch holds the siatite on
all the battle fronts and IL is believed
It will take the Germans two or three
months to prepare another full dress
offensive.
Meanwhile American troops continue
