ALLIES CLEARING
 BELGIUM OF ENEMY
ZEEBRUEGGE AND HEYSE HAVE BEEN OCCUPIED AND TOWN
 OF BRuGES STORMED.
WEST FLANDERS IS CLEARED
Germans Not Only Give Up Submarine Bases in Their Retreat From Bel sium, But Leave Immense Air
 dromes and Other Supplies.

London. = British and Belgian forces are rapidly clearing Northern Belgium of the enemy, according to the official British statement relative to operations in Belgium issued by the war office. The statement reads:
 The Belgian army has occupied Zeebruegge and Heyse and has storm ed the town of Bruges Elsewhere the Belgians have crossed the Ghent- Bruges Canal. On their left they have reached the Dutch frontier and on the right are half way from Bruges to Ghent.
 'sThe French forces have carried the town of Thielt and the high ground in that vicinity in spite of stubborn resistance by the enemy. who en- deavored to bar the way to the Lys. At the end of the day the Frenh had reached the line of Hulle-Vincat and had advanced along the Lys to Gramme, Gotthem and Wielsbeke.
 The Second British Army has com pletely cleaned up Courtrai, carried it's line nearly four miles east of the place. To the south, the British have reached the Courtrai-Tournal road and although all communications have been destroyed by the Germans, have advanced almost up to the Sheldt River.
 Since beginning operations .n Flanders the allied armies have ad- vanced 30 miles over front of 36 miles. All of Western Flanders as we'll as the Belgian coast has been cleared of the enemy"
 In withdrawing from Flanders and the Belgian coast, the Germans not only gave up their submarine bases, but also left behind immense air dromes. Before the enemy retire ment Northern Belgian might have been known as the home of the Gotha By-moving eastward the Germans lose the points nearest to England from which they used to carry out raids upon London and other English towns. Hereafter, it is believed the Germans will find it increasingly difficult 10 make air raids upon London.
 The evacuation of Ostend and Zee bruegge will make easier the work of the British navy in keeping the Brit ish Channel clear of submarines The Germans also have been forced to re- move the torpedo boats from those bases

GERMAN RETREAT
 WELL EXECUTED
NO HINT OF DISORDER IN PRES ENT RETIREMENT IS SEEN
 BY U. S. OFFICIALS

Washington While the German retreat in Belgium has great possibii- ities, military opinion here is that it Is a well ordered and executed with drawal, probably upon prepared posi- tions. The face that reports from other portions of the front, notably from the Lillie area and the sector ments, gives the movement indica- tions of a general withdrawal. but as yet no official information has come as to the line upon which the enemy will attempt to staad.
 Army officials take no notice of the many reports of an impending com plete equalization in seeking the eX- planation of the German maneuverS. They ascribe these operations to defi- nite and well developed plans of the German General Staff It is said that the enemy. probably has begun the second phase of the withdrawal he has been compelled to undertake as a result of relentless pressure by Mar shal Foch all along the battle line. Lacking the reserves with which to if is to be assumed that he is falling back to much shortened line, where he can show greater resisting power.
 There is reason to believe, how ever, that under the hammering of the allied and American armies, the German high command has been com pelled to make a compromise. h. stead of holding on to the front lines until the new front was in complete readiness, it is regarded as probable that the advanced positions are be- ing abandoned barely in time to avoid encirclement and that the retreat is being made to defenses not fully equipped and not manned with ex- tensive reserves. If this is true, the retiring armies must turn and fight again when they reach the new lines. The rapidity of the allied pursuit gives no opportunity for rest or or ganiZation.
 The genius of the German General oldn lS SllOAi, olllCSIS SdY, III lAS skill with which the withdrawal has been conducted thus far and it is still evident that well ordered move ment is clearing enemy forces out of the Belgian coast The situation there is hay in many respects. how ever, due to the swiftly changing na- ture of the lines. Pursuing cavalary may upset the whole German sched- ule' and large captures result.

FOOD CONSERVATION
 CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED
HOUSEWIVES ARE URGED TO USE VICTORY FLOUR FIX
 CLUSIVELY.
MR. HOOVER SENDS APPEAL
Arkansas Will Not Only Make Demand On Mills For Manufacture of Prod uct, But Jobbers and Retailers
 Called Upon For Cooperation.
Little Rock

Little Rock campaign as important as any undertaken in the interest of food conservation has been launched at the special request of Herbert c. Hoover. for household purposes of Victory mixed flour, which contains so per cent wheat and 20 Fer cent substi- tutes. Not only will Arkansas make a demand of mills that this product be manufactured, but jobbefs and retail CTS have been communicated with, as well as county food administrators, to bring about speedy statewide use of this flour.
 The importance of this new drive" is best seen in the following telegram received from MT. Hoover, which the state food administration made pub lie:
 Please exert your influence with mills In your state to manufacture Victory mixed flour. Continually iIn- press upon the public the desirability of its use. This may be rendered by
 
 handle only Victory mixed flour for household consumption. We are mak. ing every effort to induce suspension of mixed flour tax law for period of the war. but Congress has not yet acted The mere existence of present law, however, not sufficient to prevent mills making Victory mixed flour. They can pay tax and proceed with manufacture pending congressional ae- tion. The mills which, because of ge- ographical location, can economically manufacture only straight flour will have outlet for their product in bak- ing trade, which prefer to do own mix ing. Will you not start propaganda in retail and wholesale trade that they handle it exclusively for house. hold use? The demand for Victory mixed four should not be difficult since it's use would save the house. wife from her unacceptable obligation to Go her own mixing. Report prompt. ly what progress you make with your mills and trade"
