WHERE TO LOOK FOR WIFE
Seek Her in Butchers Shop, Says This
Writer, and Mark Just How
She Buys.

A good housewife will look at least
two square meals ahead of her nose.
The modern system of marketing dur
ing the high cost regime is such a fine
art that a youth contemplating matri-
mony should HE to the market place
for selecting a bride. My boy, Zim
advises in Cartoons Magazine, when
you see a maiden pinching smelling
and pricing soup bone, you may rely
on her sense of economy, for she is
looking forward not less than two
meals. The soup bone, when cooked,
is merely food in the rough or print
tive state. It's choicest by-products
are realized after bOuillOn stage.
Thereafter comes goulash, the Gro
quotes and the luscious hash. BY all
means avoid the girl who orders choice
cuts of porterhouse or English mutton
chops. She will not make q good help
mate. But the girl who selects the
chuck Or neck pieces or the tail end Of
a ham bone, and renders them into
dainty, palatable dishes is the one you
want. SO take my advice and seek the
market place when you feel that you
have had your fill of bachelor loneli-
ness and wish taste of wedlock. Fol
low such a girl around until you are
perfectly satisfied, then nail her.

The Allies Now at Door Of Peronne,

With, the British Army in Flanders
Sept. 2.-For the first time, American
troops fought on Belgian soil Sunday.
They captured Voormezeele and were
engaged in operations elsewhere in
the Somme locality.
London, Sept. .2-Reuter's corre-
spondent at British headquarters says
he hears that Americans, besides
taking Voormezeele, have captured
several strong positions between Voor-
mezeele and Ypres.
All along the western battle front
the Germans continue to give ground
before the allies. The daily trend of
events accentuates the insecurity of
the German lines and the inability of
the German high command to hold
back the aggressors.
American troops operating in con-
junction with the French have driven
against the German line beyond
Juvigny. .ll ~% as
Allies Now Dominate Peronne.
Mont st. Quentin, dominating Pc
rome and the angle of the Somme
river, has been taken by the Aus
tralians, together with Feuillau Court,
lying to the west. In this operation,
which was in the nature of surprise
attack, more than 1900 prisoners
were taken.
The way is now prepared for the
occupation of .Peronne and a further
important advance to the east.
simultaneously the French have
broken down the resistance of the
heavy German forces along the Canal
Du Nord and north of Scissors.
In the scissors area they are in
complete possession of Juvigny and
Crouy, and have reached the western
outskirts of Leury. ff -
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Allied progress has slowed down
somewhat, owing to the reinforce.
ments, the Germans have rushed to
the fore in an endeavor to hold the
vital points on their line as long as
possible, there has been no cessation
of the allied thrusts along the entire
8O-1nile front, and with minor excep
,tions, these thrusts have been success
full.
Spain Takes Over German Vessels.
Madrid, Sept. 2.-The Spanish gov

recent note to Berlin, because of the

Canadians Crash Clear Through
Hindenburg Line East and
Southeast Of Arras.
COMPLIES IS CAPTURED
French Hold on AiIette River Despite
counterattacks by Germans Against
Mangin's Army-somme River
Crossed by Haigs Men.

London, Aug. 31.-Moving forward
with sustained power, British armies
east and southeast Of Arras appear to
have crashed clear through the Hin
denburg line. 4 ss
have begun to roll up the German
forces on the front to which the enemy
is retreating along the whole Picardy
front.
Progress southeast of Arras would
seem to be the most important feature
of the news from the great battle
front. Canadians, it appears, are slow
ly advancing along the Arras. Cambrat
road and are widening the gap in the
famous line to which the Germans re-
tired 18 months ago. It seems that
any great additional British success
in this region may shatter Germany's
hopes of conducting defensive cam
paign along this front, to which it is
probable the Germans now are hastily,
withdrawing. &.
Hun "swltchline" Menaced. y
Bullecourt, which was on the Him
denburg line, has been taken. Hende-
court lez Cagnicourt, to the northeast
of Bullecourt, has also fallen before
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig's men,.
South Of Hendecourt and slightly to-
the east, Riencourt has been captured
by the advancing British. East Of
Arras, astride the Scarpe, further
gains are reported. IS
The Drocourt-Q uent "switchline',
now is within striking distance.
British Take combIes.
Further south the British have taken
the village of Combles, where there
was terrific fighting during the Ger
man retirement year ago last March.
West Of Peronne the British have
captured the tow4 Of Clery, and they.
also have crossed the Somme west and
south of Peronne. Biaches on the
south bank of the Somme and about a.
mile from Peronne, has been captured.
The British have made further adj
vances to the north of Lens. At one
place they pushed forward for dis
lance of 1000 yards.

| Allies Make Large Captures.
Large numbers of prisoners and
many guns and much material are fall
ing into the hands of the British. The
untiring British, French and American
forces are maintaining their pressure
against the enemy, who now has lost
all his important bases west of the.
Hindenburg line except Peronne, Ham

within two miles of Peronne on the
southwest and the French are FIVE
miles west Of Ham.

Washington, Aug. 31.-The latest
French official communication re-
cords the capture, by the French and
Americans in the sector north of
scissors, Of Chavigny, three miles
northwest, and Cuffles, mile and q
half north of scissors.
These victories, gained only after
the hardest kind Of fighting, make
more secure the allied line running
northward and outflanking the Aisne
and the Chemin-D es-Dames positions.
Also lettering this general situation
has been the crossing by the French
Of the Ailette river at Champs.
In the region north of Noyon the
French have made further progress,
crossing the Canal Du Nord at sew
eral places and advancing materially
in the direction Of the Noyon- Ham
railroad line. All around Noyon the
French have strengthened their posi-
lions.
All the territory on the north and
west banks Of the Somme, where the
British have been operating against
the Germans, now has been cleared of
the enemy, and south of Peronne on
the east bank of the stream, notwith-
standing the destruction of the bridges
by the Germans.

GERMAN "MANIA" FOR PEACE
Amsterdam Correspondent Alleges
Changing German Viewpoint.

b..
Amsterdam, Sept. 2.-The Germans
have been seized with q sort of peace
mania, according to the frontier cor
respondent of the Telegraaf. The
events in France have made such q
profound impression that the Germans
one meets along the frontier are in
different to the prospect of the defeat
Of the central empires, and only wish
to get peace as quickly Us possible.
The correspondent declares that two
German regiments in Russia refused
to so to the western front, and that
100 of the soldiers were shot. Seven
hundred of the body guards at Munich
refused to go to the front and barri-
caded themselves in their barracks
until they were compelled to surren-
: der, the correspondent says.

Although the day was not marked
by any spectacular advance, there was
