ANNA OLDFIELD.

Anna Oldfeld was a celebrated English actress. who was born in Pall Mall in 1883. She was the daughter of an army officer and early showed an inclination for the stage. She became the mistress of a MT. Maynwaring, and after his death, of General Churchill. Notwithstanding these dereIictions she was humane and benevolent to the highest de- gree. The high esteem in which she was held is best attested by the fact that she was buried in Westminster Abbey with great pomp after her f~-th in 1730,

Paris, Aug. 23.-The allies are
reaping the fruit OF the victories OF
July Is and August 8 i'll the pres
ent critical situation in which the
German command finds itself. The
German retirement around Noyon,
it is held here, is the logical conse-
quence Of those victories. The
French and British are pressing the
enemy so closely that he is obligated
to throw in his best troops to save
himself from disaster. In the north
and in the south the allies are dash
ing upon Germans and swapping up
prisoners and booty, sometimes get
ting into the main army defense po-
sition
General Mangins pressure be-
tween August Is and 20 resulted III
the capture OF more than ten thous-
and prisoners and on the END he
forced the enemy to beyond the Ali
cite.
The army of General Won Eben is
in such a predicament, it is believed,
that he is bound to make formid-
able counter attack to halt General
Mangin, or be obliged to withdraw
from the Aisne and Vesle to the
Chemin des Danes. If the enemy
does not counter attack along the
Ailette. it probably will mean that
General Won Eben is in a sadder
plight than is thought here.
In the north, the British Third
army has pushed the Germans SC
dangerously near Bapaume that the
German command has found it nee
essary to counter attack in force
The loss Of Bapaume in the present
circumstances would amount to a
disaster to the Hun, according tc
opinion here.

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan Of selling foodstuffs
owned by householders. Nor is there
any policy Of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite Of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly to issue official de-
malls of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up in American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part
~ by constituencies grafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving pacticed on greater
scale than ever before in the nations
history, officials in Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved IRE
theirs, and theirs alone.
