London, Oct. 16. = British, French
and Belgian forces savagely attacking
the German lines in Belgium, have
take Roulers and carried their lines
far toward Courtrai and Thourout. Re-
ports from the front indicate that the
German lines have been pierced and
that the foe is retreating rapidly.
Americans Advance.
On the other extreme of the battle
line American troops have carried
their lines well past the Kriemhilde
position west of the Mouse river. They
are now holding front that runs from
north of Cunel, north of Romagne and
thence northwesterly to the vicinity Of
ST. Georges, at which village it turns
to the southwest and meets the French
lines at Grandpre. French and Ital
ian forces are slowly sweeping the
Germans back out of the Laon salient.
They are now we'll to the east of the
Laon-La Fere railroad and have kept
up a steady pressure against the enc
my along the Disc valley to the north
east of La Fere.
Tends to Outflank Whole Line. r
The Allied blow in Belgium appears
to be one which may have a direct
bearing on the course of the mighty
battle that is raging over the battle
line from Dixmude to Verdun.
The progress made against the Ger
mans on the first day of the offensive
seems to Indicate that it is possible for
the Allies to press eastward and out
flank both the German submarine
bases to the north and the whole Ger
man line to the south
Belgian, French and British forces
under King Albert are now within
two miles of the important rail center
of Courtrai The Allies also dominate
with their guns the railroad running
from Lille to the Belgian coast by way
of Courtrai and thus hamper, if they
have not cut off, all rail communica-
ton between Ostend and Lille. The
German resistance in Flanders appears
to be only for the purpose of delaying
the Allies until the evacuation of Bel
GUM can be completed.
Take 10000 Prisoners.
Belgians, British and French partici-
pated in the assault between DiXmude
and Wervicq. More than 10000 pris-
oners already have been taken.

German Army Reported to Be Under
Civil Control.

London, Oct. 15.-German military
power has already been placed under
civil control in a complete and perma-

German government wireless service.
Thus General Won Stein, the Prus-

against a peace by understanding, the

clenched his fists.
His hollow racking cough convulsed
him again.
'Home!" he painted, clutching his
chest. "It's eighty miles straight north
to the Churchill-and I pray to God
We'll get herewith the kids-before
my lungs give out"
He rose to his feet, and staggered a
little as he walked. There was a collar
about Kazan's neck, and he chained
him to the sledge. After that he
dragged three or four small logs upon
the fire, and went quietly into the tent
where Joan and the baby were already
asleep. Several times that night Kazan
heard the distant voice Of Gray Wolf
calling for him, but something told him
that he must not answer it now. To-
ward dawn Gray Wolf came close in to
the camp, and for the first time Kazan
replied to her.

to the baby. When she jumped up to
and when Joan saw him standing firm
ly upon his legs she gave a cry Of
pleasure.
1t was a strange journey that began
into the north that day. Pierre Raids
son emptied the sledge of everything
but the tent, blankets, food and the
furry nest for baby Joan. Then he har-
messed himself in the traces and
dragged the sledge over the snow. He
coughed necessarily.
Its a cough I've had half the win
ter" lied Pierre, careful that Joan saw
no sign Of blood on his lips or beard.
''Tll keep in the cabin for a week when
we get home"
Even Kazan, with that strange beast
knowledge which man, unable to ex-
plain, calls instinct, knew that what he
said was not the truth. Perhaps it
was largely because he had heard other
men cough like this, and that for gen.
erations his sledge-dog ancestors had
heard men cough as Radisson coughed
and had learned what followed it.
More than once he had scented death
in tepees and cabins, which he had not
entered, and more than once he had
shifted at the mystery Of death that
was not quite present, but near-just
as he had caught at a distance the
subtle warning of storm and of fire.
And that strange thing seemed to be
very near to him now, as he followed
mt the end of his chain behind the
sledge. 1t made him restless, and half
a dozen times, when the sledge
stopped. he shifted at the bit of hu-
manity buried in the bearskin. Each
time that he did this Joan was quick
ly at his side, and twice she patted
his SCARED and grizzled head until
every drop Of blood In his body leaped

those who drank it thrice. The results

Use Popcorn-Three Ways.

OSS TOpCOTn-I -I0CC0 ways
There is one good American food Of
which we have an abundance and we
can use as much Of 1t as we like
corn. Use all kinds and in many ways.
Popcorn is one of the kinds every one
likes. 1t is good food Just simply
popped, and can also be made into such
wholesome, inexpensive sweet that 1t
should be widely used. Here Is the
way to pop 1t and several ways to use
it:
Shell the corn If it is on the cob
and pop the dried corn in a covered
iron frying-pan or regular pepper,
shaking vigorously. If wire pepper
is used, do not pop the corn directly
over the flame or it will scorch. Shake
1t quite high over the flames, or better
over Goals or on the top Of the stove.
Take just enough corn to cover the
bottom of the pepper. A cupful Of pop
corn makes about three quarts when
popped.
Popcorn is good, of course, seasoned
with salt. A common way of serving
is to mix with very little melted but
ter and then sprinkle with salt But
have you ever tried it as breakfast
food eaten with milk or cream7 II
makes good cereal.
To make a sweet of popcorn boil to-
gether one cupful of corn sirup and one
tablespoonful Of vinegar until few
drops harden in water and pour it over
the freshly popped corn while it is hot.
As soon as it is cool enough to handle,
grease the hands and form into balls.
This amount of sirup covers three
quarts Of popcorn.
Chocolate popcorn is delicious. Cook
one cupful Of corn sirup for five min
utes. Add two ounces of chocolate 1.-TWO
squares), and stir until melted. Cook
slowly until a soft ball is formed in
water. Beat until thick. Have the
popped corn in a creased dish. Pour
the sirup over 1t and form Into balls
when cool enough to handle. This
amount covers III quarts of popcorn.
Farmers Bulletin 553 tells how to
grow popcorn. Why not have few
rows of popcorn in your garden next
spring?
Those who can't fight must do the
| next best thing they can.
Patriotism Is not pessimism.

THE NATIONAL AMENDMENT.

"If the proposed amendment should
be adopted by three-fourths of the
states" says United States Senator
Sheppard, speaking Of national prohi-
bition, ''the traffic in intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes would be
forbidden anywhere within the Ameri-
can republic. Prohibition would be i'm
bedded in the organic law Of the ma
ton. Is 1t not time that the federal
government, the largest social unit we
have, should take hand when the
traffic in a poisonous drug is taking
from the earnings Of the American
people six times as much as they ex-
pend for bread, ten times as much as
they expend for furniture, and twice
as much as they expend for clothing? :?
As view the matter" concluded Sena-
tor Sheppard, "the member Of either
branch of the American congress who
denies the power of amendment to the
states, especially an amendment which
vast numbers of the people desire the
states to consider, violates the basic
principles both Of the constitution and
Of popular government, repudiates the
fundamental rights of the states and
overturns the two most sacred priv
lleges the people possess, the privileges
Of referendum and of petition"
The man who is not willing that the
question Of national prohibition be SUBJ
mitted to a poll of the states is not
travelling the path of safe democracy.
