short measure.
A fish scale was also exhibited
that cheated the customer of three
fourths of pound.
Assistant City Inspector OF
Weights and Measures c. A. Bussel
said each housewife should have a
pair of scales in her possession and
weigh each purchase. "She should
know, for example" said Mr.. Bussel,
that bushel of potatoes weighs 90
pounds to bushel. If the peddler
or merchant gives her less. he
should be reported to the weights
and measures Office in the city hall
Peddlers can be identified by their
numbers. Every peddler who gives
honest weight should have the city
inspection seal on his measure. This
reads o. S. 49,
Mr.. Bussel also said the house
wife should have her scales inspect
ed by the city in order to know that
they weigh correctly.

We forgot other reserves ,nat Foch pos
sesscd or was able to create.
I'VE were not thinking enough OF the
Americans. of whom three-quarters OF
million are said to be at the front and half
million behind the lines. England, too,
brought across an enormous number of
troops.
"O1lcia quarters in Berlin assume to-day
that about a million and half of men are
lighting against the front Of Arras and
scissors, which means a great numerical
superiority over the Germans. In view OF
the resistance we put up, we can be full OF
calm confidence.
"As to the united command on the enemy
side, we must be under no illusion as to the
precision aud dash which came over the
enemy's operations, his manipulation of the
reserves, ctc., as the result Of this measure"
Captain Won Salzmann, IN the "VOs
s;sche Zeitung," refuses to blame Hin
denburg or Ludendorh for the German
reverses "No one is to blame," he
writes, ''for circumstances stronger than
could be foreseen. The crisis is over
This was apparently written a day or
two before IIindenburg lost his "switch
line" which event opably has forced
Captain Salzmann to change his mind
about the crisis In his view this "bitter
mannuvre" of the German army is de-
signed to strengthen the line, the achieve
ment Of which will mean "the end Of the
Franco-Anglo- American shouting about
victory, for public opinion in the Entente
countries will become depressed"
1t is interesting to recall that the same
writer was arguing only last week that
it was "to the advantage of the Germans
to entice the enemy into the trackless,
roadless and waterless waste of the
Somme"

threw themselves or the guards bareh ahded

T~he Frogs Greeted Them
IL With a Chorus

Captain Hurban and Lieutenant Dan
ielovsky Of ''the 5th Regiment Of T. G.
Masaryk," have just brought from Rus
sia to their commander in chief in Wash
inston an account of the exploits of that
heroic band of fighting men. AS related
by Harvey O'Iiggins, of the Committee
Of Public Information, this is their story:
"The Czecho- Slovaks are one Of the op-
pressed races that have been struggling for
centuries against Germans and Austrians
and Magyars. When this present war broke
out. thousands of them escaped across the
border into Russia and took service against
Austria. Thousands more, drafted into the
Austrian armies, deserted across the lines
There were perhaps 100000 of them in Rus
sia when the Russian army collapsed And
one army of $4,000 OF them under its own
leaders still held its lines in the Ukraine
after the Ukrainians made peace with Ger
many.
"When the Bolshevist government at Mos
COW also signed the peace of Brest-Litovsk,
this army was left to the mercy of the Ger

Worst of It Is, They Have to Explain at Home

The paper blames the popular discon-
tent on "the deficient political education
Of the German people and their absence
of common sense generally"
That this discouragenent at home is
having its effect upon the morale Of the
German troops at the front is indicated
in not Il few reports that have been
cabled within week. An American
staff officer told a correspondent Of 'Thc
New York Times" last week that the
German soldier is not now what he was
three months ago, or even at the middle
of July The great ma jority, he said
"arc tired of war to which they can see
no favorable issue. Tho men criticise the
