NO HARDsHiPs INVOLVED.

New York World: A pound and a
half of beef a week for every person
would be a liberal allowance in any
other country than this. 1t is liberal,
indeed, for Americans. and more than
the amount people of middle life or
past should eat The observance OF
this order Of the food board involves
no self denial, except to gluttons And
in fact none of the food conservation
orders so far issued has necessitated
anything like abstinence.

THE FATHE'R|;LESS
OF OLD FRANCE
Interest in War Orphans Of France
Growing DaiIy-one Denison Boy
Now in France Adopts One.
LETTER FROM FRENCH MOTHER
Mother Of Little Fatherless Girl Touch
ed to Point of Tears in Expressing
Her Gratitude Toward America.

Interest in fatherless children of
France grows everywhere. We hear
of one Denison boy in France whose
sympathies were so. aroused that he
adopted one and says he wants to
bring it home with him.
A report from Paris reads: General
Pershing adopted two of the sixty
eight war orphans adopted by Ameri-
can soldiers this week. A single Ohio
regiment adopted fifty-four"
Below is translation of letter writ
ten in French:
July %, 1917.
Young Ladies': Ny name is Yvonne
Dumont. | am seven years old. If
you only knew how happy am to have
some godmothers in America. 1t is
kind of you to think of the little or
phans of France. l am going to love
you very much.
My little papa was killed at Verdun.
He was handsome and good. l loved
him we'll.
Au revoir, young ladies. 1 thank
you again and again and embrace you
with all my heart. Yvonne.
Young Ladies: Allow me to add a
few words to my daughters letter and
to join my thanks to hers. 1 am touch
ed to the point of tears by the warm
sympathy shown to us by our Ameri-
can friends. You are good to make
the French feel that friendly hearts
are beating in unison with theirs across
the ocean. You are generous to wish
70 ho HJn r1or tn xt,,u 10 on
life for the little orphans Of France.
For all this l again thank you from
the depths of my heart. Allow me,
young ladies, to make myself known
to you. l am a school teacher in lit
tie village of the Vosges. have three
children, Yvonne, seven years old,
Jean, six years old. and Henri, four
years old. My husband was killed at
Verdun the Sd of April, 1916. He was
tender father and still better hus-
band. He was young, handsome, intel
ligent and brave. He was decorated
with the croix de guerre with a beau
tiful citation as well. He dreamed with
me to make beautiful life for our
little ones. hope that my health may
be spared so that their future may not
be changed. The sympathy which you
have expressed and the aid which you
have sent US are powerful stimulants
to an energy which sometimes flags.
Yvonne, whom you have adopted, is
an intelligent child who will do you
honor, hope. She stands at the head
of her class which numbers 54 pupils.
She is nice little girl and helps me
little about the house but she knows
how to play, as we'll. | am enclosing
q SNAPSHOT taken after a fete given
for the benefit of the war orphans, in
which Yvonne took part. The little
companion whose arm she is holding
is also war orphan. My daughter
encloses in her letter flower from
the Vosges, which she has kissed.
regret, young ladies, that do not I'M
derstand English, but l have friends
who speak it. You can write me in
your language. which is so nearly like
the English. Thank you again, young
ladies', and pray you to believe me,
most gratefully and devoutly yours,
II. Dumont.

ITALIAN VICTORY
OVER AUSTRIANS
Down and Out the italians, With the
Aid Of the British, Hammer the
Rear Guard Severely

Both Armies Are Adopting An Often

WASHINGTON, June 25-An OIL
cial dispatch from Rome today says
the Austrians are in full retreat, and
that papers taken from prisoners show
that Austria had not contemplated
the possibility of defeat and was prom,
Using her soldiers this offensive would
be the last stroke to put Italy out OF
the war.
A dispatch to the Italian embassy
from Rome today confirmed the an
nouncement yesterday that prisoners
taken by the Italians in the fighting
at the Pave numbered $4,000. This
includes some $4,000 or $4,000 cap
tured during the past week before the
Austrian offensive was turned into
rOut.
The dispatch follows:
1.-THE Austrans are in full retreat.
They evidently foresaw the possibili:
ty of an Italian defeat, but never an
ticipated the possibility of their own
defeat. Papers found on all the pris-
oners say that the offensive against
Italy was to be the last stroke which
would put Italy out of the war and
force her to make separate peace, The
Austrian soldiers were promised food
and booty. This explains the extra
ordinary bravery with which the Aus
TRANS have fought.
'In the region of Monticello. the 1tal-
ians have found the body OF the await
or, Major Baracca, who had failed to
return during the first days of the op'
erations in that region. A bullet was
found in the right temple. This leads
to the belief that when Major Baracca
saw that his disabled machine forced
him to descend into the enemy's lines
he killed himself rather than be cap
tured. The loss of Major Baracca is
deeply felt in Italy as he was the lead
ing aviator of the Italian army, hav-
ing to his credit the destruction OF
about fifty enemy machines.

bombs succeeded in setting fire to

LONDON, June 25-Activity was dis
played during last night by the Ger
man artillery in the region to the east
of Amiens, between Villers-Breton-
neuX and Morlancourt, says today's
war office report. There was some ar
tillery activity also in other sectors.
Kaiding operations in the Arras region
resulted in the capture of prisoners by
the British.
The statement reads:
Canadian troops raided the enemy's
trenches last night at Neuville-Vitasse
and brought back twenty-five prisoners
and six machine guns. A few prison
ers and a machine gun were captured
by us in a successful raid south of the
Scarpe. '~' - '~a
