HOROSCOPE.
Monday, July 20, 1913.

Saturn and Mercury are in benefic
aspect this day. according to as
trology. but late in the afternoon
Mars is in evil place.
Agriculturists have the best pos
sible outlook during this govern
ment OF the stars, which is believed
to insure large crops.
In certain places farmers may
meet disappointment owing to q
storm or a plague of insects.
There is a sign that appears to
presage secret work among the
people. the spreading of evil reports
and Misrepresentation concerning
national affairs. There may be
much enemy propaganda disguised
as political discussion. the seers de-
clare.
In the midst of war there is a
forecast of great prosperity in many
lines of business and large increases
of income for persons of moderate
ambitions. This is part of the work
ing out of the law Of extremes or
surprises, SO often referred to by
astrologers.
There may be rumors that are
alarming concerning the war dur
ing this sway of the stars, but be-
yond the present are signs Of great
promise.
The seers command men and
women to look upon the far-reach-
ing blessings of the war" which
they declare will be recognized
when the spirit of universal broth
erhood, now entering the human
consciousness, prevails.
As part of the ultimate results
Of the world conflict changes in
military usage. which will precede
the final establishment of peace,
will be sweeping.
Mars retrograding in Virgo shows
that the final downfall Of the Turks
Is inevitable, astrologers declare.
Persons whose birthdate It is
have the augury of travel and
change. They will benefit during
the war. Young women will have
offers of marriage.
Children born on this day NAV
be rash. hasty and indiscreet
These subjects OF Leo usually have
much individuality.

tween the French and British COM
manders and troops was well illustrated
by an incident which occurred recently
at southern part of the front. The
Germans were observed taking up posi-
tions on hill, and a small detachment
of Canadian cavalrymen, who the pre-
vious day found themselves with the
French army corps, received orders to
occupy the summit. Dismounting, they
clambered up the hillside, but shortly
afterward were driven off.
The commanding general reprimand-
ed them for retiring and ordered them
to return Immediately to the hilltop.
The Canadians mounted their horses
and rode to the summit under the heav-
lest fire and held the position until

ment.
Many small groups of British troops
now are temporarily acting with the
French. They had used all their am
munition when picked up. but continued
to fight obstinately with the bayonet
when the Germans approached too
closely. They suffered severely, but
many of the men managed to get
through to the French line.
Text Of Statement.
The text of the French statement
"The battle on the front from Moreuil
to Lassigny continued all day with the
greatest violence and spread over a
front Of sixty kilometers. The German
forces. in spite of enormous losses in
their ranks by our fire, have multiplied
their assaults against our line. which
have been met desperately by our heroic
troops. who by their incessant counter
attacks have stopped everywhere, the
furious assaults of the enemy.
The region of Arvillers, Plemont and
Plessier de Roye has been the theatre
of fierce fighting, these villages chang
ing hands several times. Two German
divisions which had succeeded in get
ting foothold in Plemont and in the
park of Plessier de Roye were swept
back again by a magnificent counter
attack by our troops, which have re-
established their line.
AT certain points masses of the as
sailing forces were taken under the
terrible fire of our artillery and were
forced to retreat in disorder. leaving
the ground covered with dead and
wounded. The losses Of the enemy in
the whole battle zone still exceed those
of the preceding days.

NEW YORK WASTES BREAD.
Health Commissioner Says Rich
Won't Eat "Make-Oyer."

NEW YORK. March 30.-Notwith-
standing the efforts of the food ad-
ministration to prevent food wastage,
enormous quantities of wholesome food
are being thrown away daily by the
people of New York, according to
Health Commissioner Amster, who an
nounced today that he will ask the
board of aldermen to pass an ordinance
making 1T a misdemeanor willfully to
waste food.
THE bread wasted in this city is
equivalent to 100000 bushels of wheat a
year"
DR.. Amster said:
THE high proportion of wastage in
the wealthy residential district is init
mately related to the extensive employ
ment of servants. But the fault is not
to be thrust entirely on the servants.
In many instances 1t was found that
the master or mistress of the house dis
dained dishes made of left-overs."
