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.
"The full success Of these opera?
tions moans that the Belgian coast,
with Its numerous submarine has
will become untenable to the enemy*
Zeebrugge, Ostend and the system of
? nals leading out of the Bruges are
threatened.

The teams are speeding Eastward to?
night for the Polo Grounds*, where
on Tuesday the series will be resum?
ed, and if the local team continues t-'
play the type of game it has displayed
here, supporters of the Comisky clan
arc convinced that th.- Sox Should at
hast break even with the Giants in the
next two contests at New York.
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

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?

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"
