Says Horse Meat
Isn't at Al Bad.

Horse meat could be used IN this
country without hurting sensitive pal
ates or tender pocketbooks. says Gus
tave Gros OF East Mssoula yesterday
In reference to a dispatch from Helena,
printed in The Missoulian, in which the
use of horse meat was proposed.
Under right conditions horse meat is
as good as beef" said Mr.. eros. II
had some experience in that line 20
years ago. | was visiting a brother OF
mine who lived in bordeaux, France.
One evening after dinner he asked me
how liked the steak. When | replied
that 1t was very good the family
laughed at me, and to my surprise they
told me 1t was horse steak The next
day they had mule steak. Now could
not see any difference between It and
beefsteak, except that the best beef
steak was selling at IS cents a pound
while horse meat, just as good. was
| selling at IA cents.
According to law horse meat is sold
in specially licensed, shops where no
other meat is offered. Every horse is
inspected by yeterina ran before be-
| ing slaughtered. and none but horses
in good condition are used II we had
such laws here would II not help us to
get good and cheap meat?"

GERMANS SLOWING
UP ON BIG DRIVE
Enemy Probably Shocked by the
Terrible Toll Their Advance
Required,

British resistance tn the mighty German
blow west of Cambria apparently is
stifienIng. The Germans. despite the
new masses of reserves which are being
hurled into the battle line continuously,
are slowing up on some parts of the at
tack king front before the defence of Field
Marshal Haig
On the extreme north and in the center
the German progress has been appre-
ciably slower while around Bapaume, on
the old battlefield of the Sommc and east
and north of Noyon, the enemy has made
gains, but only at the cost OF a fearful toll
cXacted by machine guns and artillery
The fighting IN these sectors continues of
the most severe character.
Southeast of Arras the British line has
yielded only about three miles at the
great, st depth since Saturday. lmme-
diately west of the Snmmc, south of
Peronne, the Germans suffered heavily
in forcing crossing of the river and
seemingly have not been able To advance
as fast as they did before tho river was
reached

have driven q long salient in toward

last March.
In their original attack the Germans
made their strongest efforts Immediately
west of Cambria and between st. Quentin
and La Fere and drove forward on those
sectors in the form of the well known
pincers' operations The British, how
ever, met this by retiring in the centre
toward Sommc, cluding the jaws of the
pincers and forcing the German advance
to take the form of a wedge with n blunt
apex and wide wings
As the battle line now stands II is not
much greater In length than the line which
the Germans attacked, but the enemy
now has exposed his front To flank attacks
both from the north and the south. In
five days the Germans have advanced
