French Make Further Progress on
Avre, Capturing 1000 Men and
Many Machine Guns and

The Americans in Lorraine have en-
llvened an ordinarily quiet sector by
taking from the Germans the village
of Frapelle, five miles east of ST. Die,
The action, which started with the
proportions of IL raid In the early
hours Saturday morning, developed
Into an organized attack under the
dash of the American troops immedl-
atey after they left their trenches.
The German losses evidently were
heavy in killed and wounded and pris-
oners also were taken by the Ameri-
cans.
Marshal Foch has at last definitely
connected up the battles of the Aisne
and the CONNIE. Announcement is
made that, by local attack. the pla-

miles northwest of scissors, has been

Ing the region extending nortfward to-
ward the Oise river
The attack, while local In character
must have had plenty of power TO
carry as far ahead as Is indicated Ia
dispatches. The French line from the
Alsne to the Disc has been inactive
since early In July. IL ran through
Autreches to Moulin-sous-Touven and
thence northwesterly through the Car
lepont and Ourscamp forests TO the
Disc. IL the whole plateau north of
Autreches has been taken from the
Germans, the French have advanced
upwards of mile In that region.
When the Germans halted their re-
treat from the Marine salient and made
stand on the Aisne. 1t was assumed
a blow northwest OF scissors would lie
struck, as success would outilnnk :he
Germans and compel their retreat To
their old lines north OF the Cheniin-
des-Dames.
Then the Picardy offensive began
Oh the allied progress east OF the Avre
and Ancre.
This drive has recently been almost
at IA standstill. Only local actions
have been fought for the past four
days along the line established by the
Germans west OF the Somme. Some OF
the progress. especially along the
southern sector OF the line. has been
important. though hardly noticeable on
a map. but the Germans are desperate

Of Lassigny, MS well ms the the area

That Loose Shoe strIno

Little things often lead to serious
consequences. So 1t is not surprising
to learn that recently an employee Of
a large manufacturing establishment
was coming down the stairway from
the third floor Of the warehouse, when
the lacfHg In one Of his shoes became
united. He continued to go down the
stairs, and when about five steps from
the landing he stepped on the flowing
shoe lace, which threw him. and he
feil, striking his head and shoulders
on the bottom step with such force
that he died the next morning. Which

be careless. even in such trivial de-
tails as loose shoe strings-Scientific

Pottery the Oldest Art

Pottery is the oldest, the longest and
most widely diffused of all human arts.
Its history, if recorded, would be as
old as the history of man; its record
ed history begins with the building of
the tower of Babel. The oldest pot
terry known is Egyptian, but every peo-
pie. civilized or barbarian, has prac-
tced the art In one or another form.
All study In every department of art
begins at 4 period not long after the
Mosaic deluge- but pottery is thu
earliest Of all forms of art

IN RECENT BATTLES ON THE

non since July 49, is recognized as the
biggest haul the allies have made since
the war began, and there is every rea-
son to suppose that the tale of cap
lures Is by no means ended. The Ger
man losses since Foch launched his
blow on July Is are estimated at $780,
900 men killed, wounded and prisoners.
The belief is growing that the Ger
mans are much nearer the end of their
tether than the rest of the world has
been allowed to guess 1t is known
that to make up for the awful wastage
in the Aisne-Marne salient and on the
Somme the Germans have had prac-
tically to empty their depots in the in

youths belonging to the class of 1920
which still are only in the training
stage, have already been drafted into
garrison work.
Using Up Man Power.
There is now little doubt that the
Germans have thrown in every avail
able reserve division on the Somme.
hoping to avoid thereby a general re-
treat along an extensive section of
their line
SO far as can be seen at present.
their resistance on the Somme cannot
possibly continue much longer, in
which case their retreat, when 1t
comes. will prove ali the more costly
from its delay and all the more dis
astrous, because they will be still less
in position to stand the still heavier
losses it will involve.
The key to the situation, according
to opinion here, lies very probably in
Russia. In his Unsuitable greed for ex-
pansion at other peoples expense the
German has, in vulgar but expressive
phrase, bitten off more than he can
swallow, and his boosted "conquests"
in Russia are bidding fair to prove his
ruin on the western front
Russ Situation Mystery.
Inc entlre russian situation, how
ever, is for the moment admittedly
mystery. Many people here incline to
the view that the Germans, in view of
their critical shortage of man-power,
are deliberately seeking a breach with
the Maximalists in order to have pre-
text for Selling Petrograd, which
would give them an excuse to with
draw their troops from the interior of
Russia and take up a shorter line
nearer home. On the other hand, there
IS great probability that the Germans,
in the face of the opening of the allied
in Siberia on the White sea,
are preparing to accept the inevitable
and fall back, because they are unable,
through sheer lack of men, to under
take fresh Russian campaign with
any chance of success.

ARMY MAKES RECORD MEAT
PURCHASE.

Chicago, July 2O-The largest
single order for bacon and canned
meats in the history of the world
99,560000 pounds of bacon and 134,-
100000 pounds of canned meat-has
just been placed by the Quarter
masters Department, q. S. A, for
the American army overseas.
Louis +. Swift, in commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately L.
100000 hogs and if other work were
dropped to produce it would be equiv
alent to the total bacon production of
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly five weeks, however six months
will elapse before delivery is to be
completed.
Mr.. Swift said:
AT the current prices on the day,
last week when the purchase was made
the packers would pay the livestock
producers about $S0,000,000, for the
necessary hogs and over $50,000000,
for about 100000 cattle required.
THE cattle will cost us twice as
much, and the hogs two and one-half
times as much as in the pre-war
period.
Ihe whole order Will De made up
before the first of the year, despite
the fact that, even before this pur-
chase, one-fourth Of the packers fac
ilities have been devoted to filling
military demands.
I'm order to get out the canned
goods the packers will find it nee
essary to employ night and day shifts
of Gamers. Notwithstanding the fact
that the products are being rushed
thus hurriedly, not a single complaint
has been received on meats delivered
to the armies abroad.
1.-THE five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly to keeI
! abreast of material and domestic
needs"

PEACE WORK PLANS SHOULD
START NOW.

Thirty million horsepower are run
ming to waste i'll the brawling streams
of the far west alone. 1t will take
centuries to harness them Ii the work
is left to private enterprise based on
profit. A few hundred million dollars
invested collectively, not for profit,
but for the common benefit, would
electric every mile of railroad in the
far west, supply almost every home
with electric power for hundred pur
poses and conserve both fuel and hui
man labor.
As Secretary Lane in recent men,
orandum to the President points out,
the far west contains fifteen million
irrigable acres of government land and
some fifty million acres of cut-over
forest land that is privately owned.
Only very small traction of these
lands will be made productive during
the life of the present generation If
private enterprises is to undertake the
task, with profit the incentive Only
by collective action, through govern
ment appropriation of a few hundred
million dollars can the work be under
taken on an adequate scale.
There is no reason why it should
not be undertaken, why the necessary
surveys and plans should not be
started right now. When peace comes
the nation will have to find employ
ment for a million men at least. The
labor and the land will be available
the capital can be found. And the
laborers will go to work with vim and
energy because they will be spurred
on by the knowledge that they are
building homes for themselves, laying
the foundation for their own future

Maine MusseIs Will
Help Food Situation

Bangor, Me.-Immense beds of
mussels, which are regarded by Eu-
ropeans as great delicacy and by
many Americans as equal to lobster,
which they closely resemble in taste,
- ave been discovered along the
Elaine coast by Professor |. S. Field
of Clark's College, Worcester, Mass,
and his assistants, after a two
months cruise in the United States
Fisheries Commissions steamer Gam
nett
The cruise extended from Kittery
Point to the mouth of the st. CroiX,
the entire length of the coast line.
and was made for the purpose of
investigating the mussel beds with
the view of utilizing the deposits as
an article of food for commercial de-
velopment, especially in the export
trade.
Surprisingly large deposits of the
shellfsh were found, the monetary
value running far into the millions,
and so satisfied are the Fisheries Blu
reau with the result of the invest
cation that arrangements already
have been made with several can
ming establishments to put the neg
lected delicacy on the market-in
cans, in their own liquor, and also
dried and smoked.
Confidence is expressed that q
great industry will be established as
the direct result of Professor Fields
discoveries.
