American people will be put under 1

order requiring that manufacturers
and distributors of some 20 funda- n
mental foods operate under license ?
restrictions designed to prevent un- 8
reasonable profits and to stop specu- '
lation and hoarding.
Regulations will be prescribed for '

$100,000 annually in the commodi- ?

"The prime purpose of the food ad- 11
ministration," the announcement said, '
"is to protect the patriot against the
slacker in business. It has generally
been recognized that the enormous "
obligations imposed on the American I1
people to feed our soldiers at the | ^
front and the allies creates a disturb- i,l
ing factor in'trade which allows op- ,s
portunity to a few to impose burdens I c'
upon the many and that it is of vital j( l
national importance that such control
should be exerted as will remedy
50 far as may be, the economic disturbances
incident to the war." ^

GERMANY'S MILITARY ARM
NOW LOSING ITS STRENGTH
Washington, Cct. 9.?Germany'!
nilitary strength no%y shows a cleai
lecrease for the first time since the
var began, according to a review
ased upon data of the French gener1
staff made public tonight by the
'rench high commmission.
Worn down and driven back by the
ever ending pounding of the allies
n the Western front, the statement
ays, the Germans have made their
upreme military effort after drawig
heavily upon their inactive armies
i the Fast and calling out their 1918
nd Dart of the 1919 rcsprvm.
Thus while the allies have reached
ml prepared to maintain their full
trength while awaiting the coming
f America's great army, the enemy's
esources are diminishing at the very
loment when the military situation
emands that they increase.
Three Great Democracies
"This shows." concludes the stateicnt,
"the decisive character attendig
the operations of 1918 when three
reat democracies, England, France
nd America, will unite their entire
.rength in attacking the enemy, in
mfortuity with the only sound prinple
of war."
HARD TO DECIDE
"So your daughter is engaged to
e married?"
"Yes."
"Is the wedding to be soon?"
"We haven't decided. You see,
ith the country at war we can't
eeide whether it would be
hionaole for Jennie to be a Sepmber
bride or a war bride."

An Argument for Pork
Compare your pi# with the calf. At
six months, any one of the eight pigs 1
your sow has farrowed is worth at j
least as much as a calf of the same
age?and they are eight in comparison.
If you raise two litters, the
ratio is sixteen to one. (Apologies to

FRENCH AND BRITISH
BOTH REPORT GAINS
Without regar^o the highly unfavorable
weather conditions prevailing
and in a surprisingly short time
after the successful British thrust of
last weeek the British and French
forces in Belgium have launched another
heavy attack on the German
lines .
The blow fell early today in the
: t.__?
.cKivii *.-?m an? northest of Ypres,
where Crown Price Rupprecht's lines
had already been dangerously bent
back by the previous British thrusts.
The British commmander early reported
satisfactory progress on all
parts of the front of the attack which
he announced, was made "in conjunction
with our nlllies on our left."
Shortly afterward the Paris official
statement indicated clearly that the
French forces in Flanders were those
alluded to by the British commander- |
in-chief. The launching of an attack
in concert with the British was
announced and the favorable development
of the attack reported.
It has been pointed out that with
the salient parts of the PasschendaelCheluvelt
ridge it. tin ir hands as the
result of their su-eess last week, the I |
British were in ui a Imirable posi- ,
Lion to push further east towards the ,
Menin-Roulers railway line. This invaluable
lin< ? ; .'.rv oiunication for
the Germans >etw. en their basis in
southwestern Belgium and northern
France and tin r B< ,nn coast positions
was already commanded by the
British guns. The renewed push is in |
the directions of this line, which be- (
fore this morning's attack began was
about five and one-half miles distant
from the point <>f the British wedge
it Broodseinde.
Numerous indications have been (
found, according t reports from the
Flanders front, that ' German morale
in this sector hud notably deteriaratcd
under tin cm h.ng blows of '
the British and their overwhelming
artillery superiority Lack of the
former vigor in tie German counter- i
attacks and tin ir comparative infre- j
luency are cited as corroborative of
.his.
