New Bread is as
Nourishing as Meat

A slice of bread that has the same
food value as a beef-steak sandwich
is now reality, according TO spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The estimate
of nutritive value is based on chem
ical analyses and experiments with
soy-bean flour.
The "high-powered bread that has
thesscientific resemblance to a beef
steak sandwich does not even use all
of the VOLTAGE of the soy-bean flour
1t is made from mixture of 80 per
cent soy-bean flour and 40 per cent
wheat flour. H is extremely high in
the protein element and is really a
substitute for protein foods, such as
meat and cheese.
To make the soy-bean flour avail
able in large quantities the Depart
ment of Agriculture is encouraging
the southen cotton.seed millers to
use their plants in manufacturing il.
after the cotton-seed pressing season.
1t is believed that there will be
enpugh flour TO supply any demand.
In the meantime the department is
issuing bulletins that tell how to use
sby-bean flour in hot breads, biscuits,
r4nffins. griddle cakes. yeast bread,
nAush, coquettes. meat loayes and
otnelettes. ~

ARMIES PUT CRIMP
IN U-BOAT PIRACY
DN J. W. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-ostend and
Zeebrugge can no longed pc used by
the Germans as supply bases for their
submarines.
The allied advance into Belgium
has already cut the principal railway
leading to Ostend by way of Thou
rout. There remains a second rail-
way, which passes through Bruges
and branches on to Ostend and Zee
brugge.
French cavalry, however, are ap-
preaching so near 10 this line that
IL would be foolhRrdy for the Ger
mans to continue sending over 1t sup
plies. which would be destined for
ultimate capture.
Losses of Bases FOreSeen.
Instead OF this sole remaining line
OF communications being used to
carry munitions to the Belgian cast
for the U-boats, there is every reason
to believe the Germans are trying to
employ it to rescue all they caA from
Ostend and Zeebrugge before the
allies close in upon those ports.
The forwarding of torpedoes for the
submarines to Ostend and Zeebrugge
LOT Ine OBSTRUCTION OF ailleQ shipping
can be undertaken only by way of
the Belgian railroads. There Is no
other means of communication. The
Germans cannot send torpedoes from
German ports to the Belgian coast by
submarine carriers.
To reload their magazines, there
fore, the submarine pirates must now
make their way back to German ter
ritorial waters after the termination
OF every raid.
Murder Trips LenR1aened.
These outward and return trips will
add 500 miles to the necessary Jour-
neys OF the submarines before they
reach the lane of transatlantic ship
ping.
This means the pirates must shorter
by several days the period they can
remain at sea in wait for their vic
Tins. Otherwise their supplies will
become exhausted. 1t also means the
U-boRts must run a much Longer
gantlet past the allied patrol ships OF
the coast OF Belgium and Holland.
There will now be a greater toll Of
submarines taken than ever before.
At the same time, despite the Kaiser's
efforts to increase the intensity Of his
ruthlessness at sea, allied shipping
losses should show a rapid decline.

front, Menin has been taken and
Haig's men are in the neiEhborhood

The Germans are using prodigslly
the great stores OF shells in their
Belgian coast bases. II is becoming
evident that they will be unable 70
save these munitions, SO the enemy Is
using them up fast as possible. Their
batteries gave ours a more stubborn
response than at any other time in re-
cent weeks.
The Germans knew the allied attack
was coming and tried to forestall II
by the use of the tactics with which
Foch defeated the last German ohen-
siye July I5. The British. French,
and Belgians were to start at 8 a. m.
Three hours earlier the Germans put
down a heavy barrage of their own,
seeking to break up our troop con-
centrations.
