A food map of Europe today shows
not single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat Of serious
difficulties and only small part which
lie not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated Oh the farms, there Is famine
IN the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand In different rela-
tion from the other nations to the peo.

To accomplish this, the Germans are
expected to increase their pressure be-
tween Brouillet and Janvry, with the
intention of breaking through along
the Ardre river and, following this val
ley southeastward, gradually turning
to the east so as to approach Rhiems
from the south. This strategy would
entail the capture of Ville-en-Tardenois
four miles southeast of Brouillet and
two miles to the west Of the Ardre.
The Ardre rises in a small lake four
miles north of the Marne at Epenay.

The delay has become so serious that
the Spaulding logging company has re-
ferred the matter to the Public Ser

the commission acts, the chances are
that the two and half million feet of

By DAISY DEAN.


11HOUGH it has been number Of
years since 'Broncho Billy" An
derson has been seen on the
screen, Il is clear that he has not been
forgotten. The news of his proposed
return in a series OF big feature pic
lures has been received with citation
by the movie lovers.
A few years ago Mr.. Anderson vas
one Of the few best known and most
popular OF screen performers and his
success in delineating the strenuous
young hero OF the west has perhaps
not been surpassed. Since retiring
from camera work Mr.. Anderson has
been associated as a producer with
the spoken drama and the vigOr and
energy he displayed in his cowboy
days carried him to as great sue
cess in the new work.
Many requests by fans and produc-
ers have persuaded -Broncho Billy
TO try a come back in the movies and
there seems little doubt that he will
be joyfully greeted and that his pic
lures viii enjoy a Gattering success
The first OF the big features that will
be released is called Naked Hands
and is described as one replete with
thrills and heart thrObs. It reveals
Broncho Billy in all his pristine glory,
which is certainly enough to recon-
mend It to his many admirers.
