Washington, Oct. 7.-Decisive as? cendancy for tho allies in the supreno te*t of battle strength now asking place on the bloody Ileitis of Flanders It claimed by Secretary Baker in the weekly review of wur operations is eu*d tonight by the war depart? ment. While It may bo premature to as? sert that the Hlrtlsh war machine has f?lltd a decision over the Germans. Mr. Maker says, the victories' of the past fortnight, threatening tho Ger? man submarine bases on the Belgian coast, are conclusive indications of ahh?d superiority. With favorable weather he thinks these victories will be repeated and extended. The review, which Is for the week ending last night, makes no reference lo the American forces In France ot? to he aretit preparation for war going forward at honte. "The attention of ' the world," it as,.*. "Is focused upon tho tit.mir struggle now going on in ('landers. The battle raging there Is proving an OOSjeOTement of wholly unprecedented ?cope and potentialities "At the beginning of the week, owing to bad weather, the Gemini were able to launch counter attacks against the positions recently gained by the British. Notwithstanding fart th.it the Germans made use of smoke screen*, 11 innl fire and brought into action an Imposing an v of trillion In their attack against the advanced British lines near tower Hamlets ami Polygon wood, as well aa along the Menin road, their r-ffotts proved futile. "It is significant, on the other hand, that while the liritish were sustaining ?ithe shock of German assault sueoess fully, they were al?lo to bring up s-uf clent fresh troops in order to launch another offensive action even on a larger scale, than the preceding one. ' In the face of the enemy's onslaughts. * Slowly, but therefore tho most ir resistably. the allied drive at tin heart of tho German lino in the Weal is sweeping onward. "The wisdom of the British in main? taining a great density of front would appear Justified by the results achiev? ed during the past week. It must be borne in mind that it li due to tin depth of the liritish line as much as to any other one factor, that while th? enemy is still reeling under one blow, the ollles are ready to deliver another and still another. "It has been characteristic of the I unpaign in Flanders hitherto that neither belligerent ha* attained what we may call a decisive success. "The Germans have massed their greatest war strength along this bat? tle front. "To attack them at their strongest point of resistance, is sound strategy, "The defeats Inflicted upon them during tin- pa t fortnight are conclu? sive indications of allied superimitv. In tin- light of past iHP0rlOsOS it may be premature to assert that the Brit - Ii h have sin ( ceded in forcing a decis? ion, but it may be stated with empha? sis that in no engagement hitherto has such vigor, energy, and OOnoerfed ?tpeed of action been displayed.

At the wheel of the White Sox machine he was the master of the Giants at every stage of the con? test, which thrilled 32,000 followers Of the local American League cham? pions and sent them away from Co mlskey Park convinced that aft< r sev? eral years of waiting the highes? titular honors of the baseball ihn i were to fall to Chicago. Ctcotte was ably assisted by the White Sox machine, which played al? most faultless baseball against l\v determined stand of the National League sla adard-hea rers who WOUlO not admit defeat until the final catch Of Robertson's liy by John Collins end? ed the contest. Clcotte'S team inaVs played with certainty of victory and the commission proved too much fov the vaunted power of tin- Giants.

The White Sox rolled over the Giants today like a baseball jugger? naut, leaving disaster and dismay in their wai:e. Tho second victory in two ?j? days was far more impressive than the win of yesterday, ami when the l<ams h it tin- held tin- Chicago Club was surcharged with confidence, while the New York combination was bad? ly shattered, both physically and In morale. The National League champions were obliged to use no fewer than four pitchers this afternoon and atI th" close of tho second day of play, tho white Sox had sampled, with sat? isfactory results from their standpoint, the service of five of the seven hurl era who form tlie twirling corpi < the Glonte. only Benton and 1>( moree remain unscored and it WOUld be a problem for Manager Mi <' raw to select a pitcher who can hold the Chicago batters in check even on the home diamond. Loth at bat and in the field, the White Sox maintained the impressive advantage which they showed in the opening game. The offensive and di - fenslve methods and play of the American League stadnard bearers was far superior to that show i by tin New York Club and in n<> depart? ment of the national sport did the I Giants .appear to have the edge on their western rivals. Sonn- idea of this superiority is gained from a compari? son of the figures Of the two games to date.

Mm M< United States Food Administration What You Are Asked To Do For Your Country The men of the Allied Nations arc fighting; they arc not ?" the farms. Th? production of food by these countries lias therefore been greatly reduced. Even before Ihe war it was much less than the amount consumed, Tim difference came from America and a fen other countries. Now this difference is greater than over and at same time, but little food can be brought from the outside except from America. Therefore, our Allies depend on America for food as they have never depended before, and they ask us for it with a right which they have never had l fore. For today they are our companions In the great war for democracy and liberty. They are doing the fighting1, the Buffering1, and dying?in our war. WHY WE MUST SEND MORE WHEAT.?Bngtahd, Franc??, Italy and Belgium, taken together, import in peace time 40 per cent of their broadstuffs. But now, With their reduction in harvest, tin } must import ???? per cent- We must increase our normal cx port surplus of gg-,000,000 buehelsl t<> 220,000,0041 bushels. It can be done but in one way: by economising and substituting'. The people of the Allies can not substitute corn alone for bread as wc can. They are using other ce.ieals idded to wheat Hour to mako war bread, and can thus use up to :'.'> per cent, of corn for wheat. We have plenty of corn to send thom, but, except In Italy, whose people normally use it, our Allies nave few caffn mills, and corn meal is uoi durable enough to lie Shipped by us in large quantities, Moreover, the Allied peoples die not make their bread at home; it is all made in bakeries, and corn- bread cannot be distributed from bakeries. There is but one way: we musl reduce our use for Wheat. We USe now an average of live pounds of wheat per per? son pi r week. The whole problem can be met if we will substi? tute one pound of corn or other cereal Hour for one pound of wheat Hour weekly per person; the is, if we reducb our consump? tion of Wheat Hour frOU fiVO pounds a week to four pounds, a Week. WHY WE MUST BEND MORE MEAT.?The food animals of the Allies have decreased by 83,00 1,000 head since the war began; thus the source Of their meat production Is decreasing. At the same time, the needs- of their SOldiors and war workers have in? creased the necessary meat oonauinptlon. Our meat exports to our Allies are now already almoftt three times What they were before tile war. The needs of the .\Klies will Steadily increase, because their own prod-action of foo l animals will steadily decrease be? cause of lack of feed for then. 1 WC will save 0410 ounce of meat per person per day wo can s<Jnd our Allies what they need. why WE MUST B1SND lit "TT i-it AND milk.?Tin? decreaafng herd.-, and the lack of fodder men i a steady falling' off in the dairy products of our Allies. Tiny have been asking- for larger and larger exports from us. Laet year we sent them tttree limes as much butter ami almost, ten times OS much condensed milk as1 we used to semi them before the wi r. Yet wo must not only keep up to this level, but do ?tili better. Win WE MI ST BBJND 0UOA?.?Before the war France. Italy and Belgium produced as much sugar as they used, while Mngland drew most of its supply from what are now enemy countries. Prance ami Italy are pr?oducing kos than .hey need, while England is- cut off from ih.. source of ~r> per cent, of her us-uai Importal These three Allied couictries must now draw 2,000,000 pounds more of sugar than /hey did before the war from the same sources from which we draw our supplies. We must divide with them. We can do it by economizing-.. The Usual American Consumption POT person is just double that of Fra ice. UET rs REMEMBEK'%?Let us remember that every flee; that tiies opposite the Herman laby p*oxy the American Hag. and that the armies lighting in our (defonsc under these fiagfl cannot be maintained through this winter mil ess there is food enough fOl" them and their women ami children at home.
