Allies Make Attack On German
u-Base ON Belgian Coast.
Aerial Activity Indicates Early Re
sumption Of Heavy Fighting
On West Front.

London, Jan. 20. - All along the
line in France and Belgium military
operations apparently are increasing,
ns compared with those of the past
few weeks. when little or no fighting,
except artillery duels or minor raids,
were carried out.
Allied warships have bombarded
Germany's submarine base at Ost.
end. on the northern Belgian coast,
while around Ypres, between Lens
and st. Quentin, on the Chemin Des
Danes. on the St. Mihiel sector, and
north Of the Rhine-M Marine canal, there
has been notable increase in the
operations by the infantry. The prob.
abilities are with the return of good
weather the expected big battles may
take place.
One indication of the probably
early commencement of fighting is the
resumption Of aerial activity on a
large scale, especially on the French
front. The French airmen had a good
day operating against the Teutons,
sending down eight enemy machines
In fights in the, air.
On the Italian front the fighting
again has turned to the artillery
wings of the opposing sides, the in.
fantry keeping to their trenches ex.

All along the northern front the ar.
tillery duels are of violent char.

them. The Greeks are the smartest

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop in France wns
tess than half normal, using the crop
of 1913 as a basis OF comparison
There was a shortage Of 176.OOOOOO
bushels. or 53.3 per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-third Of nor
mal. The sugar beet crop showed a
deficit OF 60 per cent. Her meat
herds In the curly fail showed short
age of 1,8OO.OOO animals.
Those are a few Of the reasons
America must feed her associates in
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
10 the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means de-
feat In the war.

FASTENED RUSSIAN COLLAPSE

1--WE must not overlook the fact that
Russia collapsed. not because OF the
Germans on her borders, but because
she failed to organize and feed her

I'VE must be warned that II we are to
emerge victorious from this war we can
not risk the collapse OF another of our
associates In this war from this cause.
Anybody that Is looking for the COL
lapse Of the German people on the food
question had better turn around and
look Mt the moon, because the results
will be the same. Germany is In no
more danger OF collapsing on that
score than we are, II as much"

DON'T CALL HIM A SCOUT.

When you see boy carrying gun
when you see the picture of boy
with gun-you may be sure that
he is not a boy scout. MS the term boy
scout is understood throughout the
world. Don't call him boy scout.
If you do SO you do grave injustice

which has the hearty support Of all

Don't buy cheap seeds unless you

like cabbage, onions or lettuce, may
be the most expensive in the end.

Only One Class Revolutionary.
There is in Austria and Hungary
but one class that would support an
economic revolution. That class is
formed by the more radical social
lists. The conservative wing Of the
socialist party in the dual monarchy
has never been more than what in the
United States is understood by demo-
crat. Its political goal is a socialist
monarchy. 1t takes not the slightest
interest IN republicanism- It's econ

chism- Nothing IS further from Its
mind than to have everybody feed at
the public crib. All men and women
are to get what they produce: none
are to be kept in idleness by the Ia
Dor OF others.
The radical element might welcome
Bolshevism, but it is not strong
enough to promote It. The Austrian

The War Glance

FAVORABLE weather on most
OF the western front has led
to increased fighting. but
none OF the armies has yet made
an attack in great strength. All
apparently are keyed up to the
highest pitch and the raids into
opposing trenches are becoming
stronger each day.
In the Champagne. where the
German artillery has been very
active the French have withstood
a German attack The effort was
repulsed by the French with Sc
we're losses to the attackers.
American raiding parties and
American gunners both are busy
on the sectors northwest Of Toul
and east Of Luneville. The Ger
mans do not remain in their
trenches to fight the Americans,
but lee to the rear lines when
Gen. Pershing's men appear.
British Take 81 Prfsoners-
British troops in the Ypres area
Wednesday took the initiative and
IN a raid southeast Of Polygon
wood captured 81 prisoners and
three machine guns and inflicted
casualties on the enemy. The
German artillery activity is in
tense on the Ypres sector and
between Arras and Armsntieres,
where strong German raids earlier
IN the week were repulsed By
British and Portuguese troops.
British Gain in Palestine
On the coastal sector in Pales-
tine, north Of Jaffa, the British
have advanced three miles on an
II mile front Six villages were
taken and two streams crossed in
the face of Turkish resistance.
A slight advance has also been
made on the Jerusalem
road in central Palestine.
Germans Hold Odessa
In the east the Germans now
hold odessa the great Russian
seaport in the Black sea, which
probably will be used either as
the base for an invasion of India
by way Of Persia or as the ter
minal OF grain shipments from
Russia to the central empires.
Turko-German plans in the
Caucasus which included the
surrender by Russia u three
Caucasian provinces which would
provide q roadway to Persia and
the Caspian sea, are opposed by
the Caucasus government. Tur-
key has been informed that the
Caucasus government does not
recognize the treaty with the
Bolsheviki and that 1t could treat

British Lose IS Ships
British shipping losses for the
past week total IS vessels, the
same number as was lost in the
two previous weeks. There is an
increase, however. in the number
OF large ships sunk. Fifteen of
1900 tons or over are reported
this week, while in the previous
two weeks the ships OF large
tonnage numbered II and u re-
