Leniency in the justice courts of East St. Louis i& fast becoming a mat ter of history, it was learned this morning foiiowing the action of City Attorney John E. Seymour in fliing a suit for bond foreclosure against Max Sonzinsky in the court of Police Magistrate Eggman. Sonzinsky, a pawnbroker of Collins viiie avenue, and a professional bonds tnan of the city, appeared recently and obtained the release of John New man, charged with gambling. Bail in the sum of $50 was posted by Son-' zinsky for his appearance. Newman's case was calied for trial yesterday but he faiied to show up. Attorney Seymour demanded that Sonzinsky produce him, but when he professed his inability to do so, was given an opportunity himself to enter a piea of guiity and accept a minimum Hue. He refused and the suit to fore close the entire bond of $50 was insti tuted. This has been a practice long in vogue in East St. Louis, oiHcials de clared this morning, whereby persons charged with law violations were re ieased on Email bonds, and then dis appeared without waiting for trial. No action ever was taken against the bondsman and infractions of this kind became more numerous. The poiice department has been con stantly harrassed by this custom, and its work of cleaning up the city has been impeded by the disappearance of the defendants. The professional bondsman always has been a detri ment to the department, ofhcials say, but the action of the City Attorney is believed destined to give them a more wholesome respect for the law. Sonzinsky recently signed the bonds for several women when they were ar rested on state charges of being in mates of immoral houses. Their ca ses were called in the County Court at Belleville this week but the women did not appear, it is understood that State's Attorney Schaumleffel now will ask for bond foreclosures in these cases against Sonzinsky. Bail in the County Court amounts to (1,000 which he stands to lose if the women are not brought into court at once for their trials. When informed by police ofhcials yesterday of the suits against him, Sonzinsky was nearly distracted and began an immediate search for the people whom he had sponsored. At the same time he declared he had learned his lesson—and learned it well—so that he never again will sign another bond. Similar actions are planned in sev eral other cases, both in the justice courts here and in the County Court at Belleville. MARY BISHOP ASKS DIVORCE Mary Bishop, of East St. Louis, hied suit in the City Court this morning to divorce Wiiiiam Bishop. They were married December 5, 1914, and separ ated June 19. 1917. Bishop is charg ed with extreme and repeated cruelty in his wife's petition. The case has been docketed so the September term of court. ARRESTED FOR F!RING GUN J. L. Ketts. 39 years oid, of St. Louis, a speciai watchman for the Iiii nois Centra! Raiiroad Company, was arrested this morning by Poiice OSi cers Garvey. Hobbs and Jordan, at a Main street restaurant, for iiiegaiiy discharging firearms in the city. It is aiieged Ketts went to the res taurant white in an intoxicated condi tion. Two raiiroad men there were discussing their pay and when and how they would get it. Ketts, it is said, offered to show them how and illustrated by drawing his revolver Bring three shots into the ground. When taken into custody his oniy badge of authority was found to be a star of the railroad company. He has' never been commissioned in the lo cai department. SHOT PIERCES NEGRO'S CLOTHES Wiiiiam Turner, 31 years oid. a ne gro of 2650 Lucas avenue. St. Loui3, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Poiice OiHcer Bishop, after the patrol tnan had been compeiied to shoot at him twice. !t is aiieged Turner attempted to pick the pocket of a passenger on a Stock Yards car. The purse, contain ing (19 in cash and a check for (55. was found tying near him when he feii after the shooting One shot was Bred in the air and the second pierced his clothing. No man can be happy unless he tries to divide it. Negro .Surprised O^tce of tVAo O^ered Assignee Frank Warn. 26 years old. a negro, of Sixth street and Piggott avenue, charged with being a draft evader, was arrested iast night by Michae* O'Rourke, secretary to Chief of Police Sullivan, and Police Chauffeur William Hutter. He is being held pending in vestigation. O'Rourke found Warn in a saloon near his home and asked him if he had lost his classification card. O'Rourke had been informed Warn had never registered but chose a roundabout course in* questioning him The negro was taken by sur prise but quickly rallied and adnftted he had lost the card, launching Into a lengthy explanation ot how ft had happened. An offer to replace the card was accepted and they walked out of the saloon. A short distance away they met Hutter. lolling In an automo bile and he offered to take OHonrke to his "office. This was accepted and O'Rourke and his unwitting prisoner climbed in. The negro's eyes just rolled when he saw hts companion's "office' and he was too surprised for speech. He was led unprotesting to the booking *ta*ni and registered for his stay with the #oMce. He declined to make a statement of where he was living at the time of the registration on June 6. MIT. DEMAND FOR HOMES :S BASK FOR RENT HX!NG, SAY DEALERS "ProAteering" Charges Tot ally Unfounded, Says Letter to Press Given Out Today. 30 NEW BUILDINGS NEEDED WEEKLY Rapidly Increasing Population Troubles Real Estate Men to Keep People Housed. Charges emanating from the oHice of U. S. District oQlcials regarding what is heid to be exhorbitant rental prices being charged for property in East St. Louis and adjoining cities are characterized as whoiiy unfounded in a letter issued by East St. Louis realty men today. They characterize the charge that reai estate men have waited for the winter suppiy of coai to be iaid in before raising prices as "whoiiy unfounded" as the first charge and assert that rental prices in East St. Louis especiaiiy have been kept In iine with advance in wages. The charges which apparently war rant an investigation were tiled with U. S. District Attorney Charles A. Karch severai days ago. Cases in towns close to East St. Louis were also cited, even exceeding the ones presented by ioca! men. An investiga tion of the entire district with regard to rentals is threatened by U. S. oili ciais unless conditions are improved within a short time. in a letter to The Daiiy Journal to day, East St. Louis real estate men/ discuss the charges in the foliowing manner: "Whereas there has appeared in the columns of the daily press of recent! date, certain charges in which the real estate men are pictured as greedy landlords' and 'profiteers Be it re solved that, so far as these charges refer to the City of East St. Louis, i they are wholly unfounded. "That, in our judgement, rents in East St. Louis have not kept pace with the advance in wages, and ex-' cessive costs of repairs, etc. "So far as we are able to learn. there is no truth to the charge that real estate men have deliberately waited until the winter supply of coal j is laid in, and then raised the rents. "We resent the inference that it is profiteering to get rents based on a fair return on the money invested, any more than it would be profiteering to get a fair return on money invested in any other line of business. "That rents have advanced is but j natural, and such advances are as es sential for the good of the City as it is to the interest of the owner of the property, provide that the rents are not out of line with economic condi tions. "That in order to induce investors to build houses to take care of the constant fiux of people to our city, it is necessary that rents should show returns not less attractive than can be realized in other stable iines of busi ness. "We Snd, from carefui calculations, that 30 new houses should be hnished each week to adequately house the) normal growth of our city. That for i some time, inclnding the present time, j we have not been building an average j of one new house a week. This has created a scarcity of houses, so that tenants are being forced to buy. if) they wish to feei secure in the posses sion of the premises, as the houses j are being sold over their heads to people coming to the city who are nn abie to Hnd places to rent. "While we beiieve that fair teata. renta that will give returns on invest ments in houses are necessary induce^ tpents to stimulate bnilding, we realise thst a continuation of the' present scarcity of houses may iead to wlid, (Continues on Page Mime.) t HEAR!NG POSTPONED FOR COAL DEALERS TO MAKE COST SHEET Incomplete Data Given Fuel Administrator Not Enough Up on Which to Decide. GROSS MARGIN IS FIXED HERE Attorneys for Civic and City Organizations Question Witnesses on Profits. That further evidence may be fur nished the Fuei Committee, which S. W. Baxter is chairman, regarding the proposition to grant an increase in the price of coai for local deaiers, the hearing in the city court room of the city haii yesterday afternoon was postponed untii Juiy 29th, when addi tionai data wiil be given the commit tee. The evidence required by the Fuel Committee consists of date cov ering the previous two months' busi ness which many of them co^ld not furnish yesterday. The book-keeping of several of the concerns was found to be faulty when information was de sired. At the Fuel Administrator's office today, it was ascertained that the pres ent gross margin aiiowed for local dealers on each ton of coal is $1.42% cents. This figure is reached by sub tracting the track price to deaiers, which totals $3.32% from the price paid by consumers which is $4.75 for Standard coal. The gross margin pro fit however includes the cost of de livery, overhead! and office expenses of retailers. It is higher than when the original price of coal was Axed and against which there was little ob jections. The Fuel Committee has no authority over coal prices except as to gross margin. During the winter and up to April, of this yaer, the gross margin allow ed dealers amounted to $1.41, accord ing to Miss Martha Connole, secretary for the Fuel Committee. According to statements of sales made by dealers in the hearing yester day, regarding sales for April and (Continued on Page Seven.) AMERiCANISM.

PARIS, Ju!y 19 (12 m.).—New German reserves have been thrown into the battie to oppose the French and the American advance between the Aisne and the Marne, the French Whr Of fice announced today. The battie is proceeding fiercely. The number of enemy prisoners has been increased. French and Italian troops are attacking between Rheims and the Marne and have made some progress. The AHies are assailing the German Marne salient from both sides. While Americans and French are driving forward on the 25 mile front between the Aisne and the Marne, French and Italians are attacking on a 15-mile front east of Chateau Thierry from the Marne northeastward toward Rheims. The Franco-American offensive was resumed at 4 o'clock this morning. New progress was made and additional prisoners taken. The Germans are reported to be destroying their base in Soissons, preparatory to evacuating the city. The French and Italians have taken two towns and two woods and increased their prisoners by 400. ALL THE FRONTS. K

A1SNE MARNE hTtONT: The Americans and French, after consolidating their newly-won po

t I sition, resumed the offensive at 4:00 o'clock this morning on the whoie 25 mile front ftom Soissons to Chateau Thierry. New progress was reported despite heavy reserve forces flung into the battle by the Germans. A strong German counter attack south west of Soissons was repulsed. The enemy is reported to be destroying supplies in Soissons preparatory to evacuating the city. United Press dis patches hied this afternoon reported that the battle was increasing in fury. CHAMPAGNE FRONT: Simultaneously with the Franco American drive to the westward, French and Italian troops are attack ing on a 15-ciile front from the Marne between Chateau Thierry and Epernay northeastward toward Rheims. They have made some progress and their advance is continuing, thus increas ing the danger to the great forces of Germans within the Marne saiient, which is being assaiied both from the east and west. By WEBB MILLER (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Paris, Juiy 19.—The Germans are pouring reserves in to stem the I Franco-American drive toward Sois sons. Aii present pians of the Ger man general staff looking toward Paris have been thrown out of gear by the allies' rapid strikes. The lighting at some places was furious aii night iong, dispatches to Paris from the front today said, but the Americans were able to gaze on Boissons from a plateau when dawn came today. Two American units and one French unit have sent back 3,000 prisoners from their sectors of the fight. Among the most important results of the drive are: j First, it interfres seriously with German use of the railways toward l<aon. Chateau Thierry, Rheims and the Aisne. Second. It is a direct threat to the pivot of German operations along the Marne. Third, it has had the effect of draw !ng off pressure against the French on the Marne. By LOWELL MELLETT (United Press Staff Correspondent.) With the French Armies in the Field, July 19.—With one wide, sweep ing smash the French and the Ameri cans undid practicaUy all that had been accomplished by the latest Ger man offensive. In fact, they brought that effort to a standstill, while advancing them selves, tearing through the enemy lines at some points to the depth of six miles. Some of the most spec tarular cavalry charges in history have contributed to the ailied move ment. The Franco-American success is so complete that it foreshadows the time —no regarded as Inevitable approach ing—when the Germans must give ground everywhere. The Germans ate already reported to be rushing up reserves, hut the damage appears to have been done. Their offensive, aimed at Epernay and thence toward l*aris, seems hopeiess of realization. The attack between the Aisne and the Marne yesterday began before day light. and at 7 o'clock French aviators wirelessed that it was a success. Be fore 9 o'clock French headquarters was listing town after town as recap tured. By 2 p. m. this was a long list. At many points the men were pre ceded by tanks, adding to the surprise and consternation of the Germans. The initial surprise was such a blow to the enemy morale that counter at tacks were attempted in oniy a few instances, and then in a half hearted manner that failed to have any apparent effect. Sourchamps was attacked by the Germans twice, but each was re pulsed easily. One of the most satisfactory ac complishments was the advance to Soissons. The French and Americans took and held Montagne De Paris, overlooking the city. The assault was Riled with thrilling incidents. American troops attacking at one point received their Rrst bap tism of hre while shoulder deep In the Savieres Itiver. Singing lustily, they waded through, clambered up the bank and rushed the amazed Ger mans. who had not the least expecta tion of facing Americans there. Thtg fact was obtained from 29 prisoners taken from a wood by the Americans. There has been no opportunity to totai up the prisoners taken at ail points, but when this is done it wii! further emphasize the value of the present aliied effort in contrast with the Germans' three-day offensive astride Rheims. BULLET!?*. (By Fred S. Ferguson, United Press Staff Correspondent.) With the American Army in the Champagne, July 19—(2 p. m.)—The hattie is increasing in intensity on the whoie front from the Aisne to the Marne as this is cabled. The Americans and French are driv ing forward in an extended advance toward the main highway from Sois sons to Chateau Thierry, which ties from three to ten miies east of tho original iine. The Germans, aided by great num bers of reserves, made a heavy counterattack on the piateau south west of Soisaons. It was bioodiiy re pulsed. Americans and French in that region are continuing to hoid the iine they established yesterday evening, or are advancing eastward.

IMMS!.Hn!s!!aM]!MC[initM!l 8TH AMD STATE STREETS "What the War Moves Mean" Wrttten by J. W. T. MASON United Press War Expert Xew York. July IS—Von Hindenburg has been caught tn his own trap. Try ing to lure the alies* reserves to the eastern area of the Aisne-Marne sal tent, he has weakened the German front aiong the western saiient, and Gen. Foch has seized the opportunity to deliver a counterstroke for the better protection of Paris. Today's attack by the Aiiies between Fontenoy and Belleau may possibiy merge into a major offensive, if the German front crumples up eariy in the engagement- For the moment, however, Gen. Foch is doubt iess bent on winning limited objectives. A major offensive by the aiiies be fore America's ramies are fully ready to participate has previousiy been shown not to be part of Genera! Foch's plans. This limitation of strat egy. nevertheless, wouid change if Von Hindenburg were to commit any stupendous biunder in his mad haste for slaughter. Gen. Foch's present attack has a triple objective. It is Brst an effort to push the Germans farther away from the routes to Paris; secondly, it will act as a diversion to interfere with a continuation of the German or fensive between Rheims and the Marne and thirdly, it will seriously disarrange whatever plans Von Hin denburg may have formed to change the direction of his offensive from the east to Paris. The check Von Hindenburg has suffered since Monday has.undoubtea iy created a iarge amount of confu sion behind the German lines. This condition gives an unusuat opportun ity for the aiiies to deliver an effective stroke such as Gen. Foch has ordered today. The Aisne-Mame salient is so narrow that increased disquietude among the Germans within its pocket might lead to demoralization. Cer tainly Gen. Foch has not had as excel lent an opportunity as the present to safeguard the roads to Tatis since the Germans extended their front to the Aisne. BOYS' FANCY ROMPERS. Si.Mand $1 VALUES, AT 69c.

Written by Jules Ciaretie, the famous director of the Comedie Fran caise, and produced under the super vision of Emile Chautard, "Her Final j Reckoning," a Paramount picture, with Pauline Frederick as the star, is French in subject and treatment Pro duced on the stage under the title of "Prince Zllah," the role of Marsa has been acted by most of the great emo tional actresses now living. Its story is not for the Sunday school library. Marsa is the daughter of a Hungarian gypsy woman who is captured by a Russian officer and forced to become his mistress. When a daughter is bom to the pair the officer offers the mother marriage. She refuses on account of her hatred of ali Russians. The child Marsa grows up and is noted in Paris for her beauty. Prince Zilah, a Hungarian patriot, falls in love with her and they are married. It is next disclosed that Marsa had been intimate with an admirer named Count Menko and is living in fear of him. The Count demands a meeting with his old sweetheart and Marsa con sents. When he arrives she turns loose a number of savage dogs and the count is disfigured for life. A package of compromising letters fall into the hands of the Prince and Marsa confesses the truth about Menko. Ziiah leaves her and she loses her reason. "The C!ty of Dun Faces. Marin Sais is an actress who is fa mous for her delineation of Western types.

She piays the roie of Elizabeth Men daii, a wo tean who is governess in the home of a Chinaman, and Anally mar ries him. They have a child, a son, and the Chinese father takes it from the mother, telling her she is never to see it again and that it is to be reared'.in ignorance of its white blood. Then Elizabeth Mendall's brain snaps under the shock and she lives for years in a Chinese underground apartment. New Liberty Theater "The Crimson Dove." "I admire you," said Jonathan Gregg, a wealthy philantrophist, to young Dr. Brand' Cameron, the new minister of Gregg's church. "You feel that there is not only religion of the soul but out of the heart. You believe in the broader principles of humanity." And Gregg warmly shook Cameron's hand as he left. But while Gregg admired Rev. Mr. Cameron there were others m the church who did! not Among them were Joseph Burbank and wife who called themselves Christians because they contributed to the church funds. "I am worried about our son, Thil lip," Burbank conAded to Dr. Cam eron one day. "He is infatuated' with Adrienne Durant, the musical comedy star.

Tomatoes are an I exception to the general ruie of hot water for vegetables and hot water or hot syrup for fruits. A large part of the tomato is water. It is not neces sary to add anything but one level teaspoonful of salt to each quart, and if liked, one-half tablespoonful of sugar The tomato pulp for home canning, made from large and broken tomatoes, cooked and strained, should have one teaspoonful of salt to each quart, and should he poured hot into i the Elled jars, allowing it to enter the spaces.

Erber'a "Revelation," the screen's offering, was indeed a revelation to the crowded houses that were present yesterday afternoon and evening, and the stamp of approval was placed upon the same by each and every one present. "Revelation," which the Metro Cor poration offers for a three days en gagement here today is a stupendous picture drama, worthy vehicle for the genius of the great Nazimova. ft tells the story of Joline, a model liv ing in the Latin quarter in Paris, who finds a soul through the agency of the sacred Sage brush. Through Jo line a miracle is performed when a pious monk who sees shining in her eyes the pure sweet Madonna. The bush bursts into bloom, but the mir acle is nothing compared to the Revel ation, by which Joline's whole natuse is transformed and purified. Echoes of the Great War is heard in "Revela tion," and Joline finds her happiness, first in service and then in love.

Juiy 18.—The Illi nois Department of Public Health has just issued two interesting and valu abie bulletins which will be sent free to citizens asking for them. Bulietin No. 1, on maiaria, empha sizes the economic importance of the disease which causes poverty by checking farm work. The annual loss due to that disease is 8178,965,208 in the United States and approximates 84,500,000 in Illinois. "Farm Work Stops with "The Chills'," is the keynote. Maiaria is spread by certain species of mos quitoes, and the bulletin wiil enabie anyone to easily identify the harmful famiiy. Suggestions also are given for malarial control. Bulietin No. 2 treats with the fly, giving his habits and life history and directions for getting rid of the nuisances. Diagrams graphically show the influence of flies in causing deaths from diarrhea; and a iong list of other diseases shows that flies are very active in causing deaths. The fly problem ie not solved by swatting nor by garbage disposal. Hies emerge from fiy brown material buried six feet deep. The breeding must be stopped and this pamphlet should prove a valuabie aid in the warfare. Both of the bulletins are well Btted for class use in schools and clubs.

The German tyrants fooled the German people, when the war begat), with the mock-heroic appeal to patriotism of "Deutschland ueber Alles." But the followers of the Prussian tyranny have found out that what the bosses really had in mind was that the Kaiser and his clique were over all. The Stars and Stripes is now on the way to Berlin to admin ister justice to the Kaiser and the General Staff, and the glorious Hag will soar bravely unter den Linden in a year or less. When this emblem of personal liberty and individual rights illuminates the streets of Berlin, it will signify the doom of tyranny in Ger many. Then will the States of Germany and the people of Ger many be free from Prussian brutality, selfishness and autocracy. The Stars and Stnpes will not stop until it leads the victorious soldiers of the American Republic into Berlin, the citadel of tyranny. The sou! which electrifies the grand insignia of free dim cannot be satisfied with a half-peace with a crafty and unscru pulous foe; it is alive with the sense that the tyrant must be beaten and tyranny crushed. It is ati exhilarating thought for us that the first sign of an nihilation for the German bosses is the quick and decisive victory by American troops. The pick of the German army has gone down to ignominous defeat at the first contact, and it must be con vinced that nothing can stop the onslaught which is spurred for ward by the spirit of liberty and justice. On to Berlin. The Stars and Stripes unter den Linden. CHARLIE SCHWAB A WISE PROPHET. Americans have a fine sense of humor, which was exemplified naively by our Chief of Shipbuilding, Charles M. Schwab, the democratic steel magnate. Charlie, as'everybody calls him, told fhe Pacific Coast Shipbuilders recently, that, if they would con tinue to work as they had been working, "the Kaiser will have to f ake his medicine lying down." Of course, the Kaiser and his as sistant bosses could not appreciate Charlie's humor, but, fortun ately, the American soldiers are displaying it with enthusiasm on the battle-field, and the forces of our Allies will understand it. Charlie was right, as he generally is. The Kaiser will have to take his medicine lying down. Our boys will administer it to him in no other way. He is a brutal tyrant, and deserves no commiser ation. He ruined and ravaged an innocent land, and steeped an innocent people in misery. He has degraded the whole world. IJe has even fooled and sacrificed his own citizens, treating them as slaves and pawn. A ruler of this type is a disgrace to civilization, and no humiliation, no punishment, would be too severe for him The same rule applies to Von Hindenburg, Ludendorff and the members of the General Staff. The grand boss of Germany is the most despicable ruler that any land or nation has had in the history of the world. His tyranny is the most utterly selfish recorded in the annals of barbarism or civilization. Yes. he w ill take his medicine lying down, and, when he does, the German people will realize that they, too, are freemen at last. "FODDER FOR GERMAN CAN\ON." Once more the autocratic bosses of the German military! tyranny are surprised. They sneered at the American troops, and derisively said that the defenders of democracy and individua! rights were incompetent and cowardly and would only be figures} in the war as fodder for German cannon. This has been a war of consecutive surprises for the Kaiser I and the Genera! Staff, but the worst surprise of a!! to them is the; "untrained and inexperienced" American soldiers. There was one quality in the American troops which the autocratic bosses did not take into account, because they did not understand it. and this was the indomitable courage which flows from the enjoyment of Id erfy. The fodder is. to all appearances, eating up the German can non and annihilating the German defense. Our sincerest hope is that the Kaiser, Von Hindenburg and Ludendortf will come within reach of this detestable fodder, and likewise that the dear sons of the Kaiser, brave young men who occupy places of safety, while the common people of Germany are fighting and suffering, will find out that the fodder is destructive to tyrants. However, it is hoping too much to expect that the tyrants' and safety-seekers themselves will come within range of the Amer ican "fodder." According to the German system, as taught by the tyrants, only the common people must risk suffering, injury and death. The next surprise which the autocrats probably will get is that the common people of Germany will have acquired from the "American fodder" the instinct of liberty and justice and the hatred of tyrants.

He was diving slowly and 1 was behind and above him. 1 saw my tracers enter his cock pit and he turned upside down and fell over on one wing. 1 hadn't time to watch him for just then 1 heard bullets ripping my fabric, and the German army seemed to be shoot ing machine guns at me. 1 turned and saw a Hun on my tall not 2" yards away. 1 didn't have a show in the world to get the advantage, so 1 threw the plane into a spin and went down from 16900 feet to about 8000. and looked around and still saw him 1 spun again and flattened out a few hundred feet from the ground. Kb Huns were in sight and 1 started for home, my motor missing badly. i couldn't climb so i had to cross the trenches at about 300 feet and they opened up with machine guns and rifles till it sounded like the battle of Gettysburg.

MANY USES FOR SANDBAG Soldiers Emptoy it in a Number of Ways Besides What it is Offi ciary Intended For. The sandbag Is one of the most use ful pieces of military equipment found anywhere and the soldier puts It to manifold uses. Their otHelul use. of course. Is to he tilled with sand or clay and built Into ramparts, barricades and trenches. Their unothclal uses ars legion. The Infantryman always uses a sand bag for carrying and storing his Ra tions. for patching and reenforcing his clothing, for lining and curtaining Ids dugnut. for muffling mallets and stakes when putting up wire In No Man's Land. They make excellent gai ters. being tied on over the puttees as a further protection against mud and damp. They make cozy mu filers In had weather. They are used to cover shrapnel helmets to prevent reflection, and they are frequently In demand for ride covers. Many soldiers always pull two sand bags over their feet Hnd legs when go tng to bed tn billets: In other words, the sandbag Is Tommy's pajamas. The warmth and comfort of a burlap sand bag when pulled over chilled feet Is astonishing. The postman's mailbag at the front Is nothing more than an empty sand bag. and the water carriers also use two sandbags, slung back and front over the shoulder, each containing a petrol tin full of water. "The war will he over." a soldier wit once said, "when all of Helgium and France has been put tnto saud bags." Gutla aa Submarine Detectora Dr A. D. Tent A Jr., of New Ttrlght on.

DAIRY CATTLE PLUS WESTERN CANADA MAKE FAT PURSES

Dair^ Caiite -tt^ar j*^fdih.won3,AltA. G?w Growing? Here's a tip to use in your battle with H. C. L. Cheese it. Not m a slangy sense, but literally. We have had meatless, wheatless and other less days prescribed. We have been urged to eat com and hsh to save wheat and meat. Why has no one urged the use of more cheese? In food value cheese is the equal of most meats and superior of many. It is far iess expensive and can be cooked in many ways to make it a staple food. Potatoes, rice, maca roni, hominy and other cereais baked "au gratin'* provide dishes whose richness dispense with a meat accompaniment. Europeans have long used cheese in !ieu of meats. In many sections of Europe cheese is served at al! meats, the cheese dish being as indispensable as our butter dish. There the yvhole cheese is placed on the table and slices are cut as wanted. This is much more economical than our habit of serving it in bits. From where are we to get more cheese when none is being imported from Europe, and we now consume all that our American dairies are manufacturing? Why, from our neighbor Canada, of course. For the production of good milk, and hence good cheese, no country in the world better adapted than Canada. Its prairie provinces occupy the same Latitude as do the famous cheese making countries of Europe. The climatic and atmospheric conditions throughout the whole of Western Canada are ideal for the raising of live stock. It is unsurpassed for grazing purposes, being for centuries the home of countless thousands of buffaloes. These were displaced by the great herds Of Cattle Barons. What was good for beef cattle is good for dairy cattle and Canadian dairymen are proving this. If it is oesired to supplant grazing with other feed, Canada's rich virgin prairies yield maximum harvests at minimum eoat Canada s output of cheese ts gmng up by leaps and bounds. Manitoba and Alberta each put on the market a million pounds in 1916. Canadian butter has a great reputation, due to the splendid system of grading which insures a standard quality to the consumer. Canadian cheese is gaining this same high reputation because the same system of grading governs its marketing. The demand Is taxing the output and more and more fanners are turning their at tention to dairy cattle. Dairying Associations and good railroad trans portation combine to bring Mg re turns into the dairy farmers* pockets. There is still much good grazing land to be bad at low prices ana dairy stock of all breeds is available at the various Canadian Government Experimental Fauns and the Can adian PaciSe Demonstration Farm. For the man who wants to get into the Cheese Game, now is the time and Western Canada is the ptaca. Traotc Fate of Queena. France has had seventy-seven queens.

With the American troops at the Front, June 19—(By Mail)—One of the most pleasant surprises we have had since we arrived on the front are the letters and clippings we get from people back home, many of them from foiks we never knew. We had no idea when we came over that people wouid find out what we were doing, and wouid write to us in such nice letters. j The boys ip the regiment are just beginning to get clippings and letters about our experience in Siecheprey, and they always bring them around. They seem as tickled as we are over these clippings We have to admit to ourselves sometimes, though we never do to anyone else, that we get homesick so far over here, and we feel lonesome, in spite of ail the kindnesses the boys show us. I guess it's just because we are girls, and aren't soldiers yet. But the letters from home help out, even when they are from someone we never have seen. A "Peachy" One. We got a peachy one yesterday from' an oid soidier. It was addressed to my sister, just "Miss Irene McIntyre, Somewhere in France, in care of U. S. Salvation Army," but it reached ue. We thought it was funny when we started to read it, but when we were haif way through, we were pretty seri ous. As soon as we finished. I sat down and wrote the oid soidier a iong letter, and told him we were going to adopt him for our grandfather. We haven't any grandfathers—except him. i "Misses Gladys and Irene McIntyre: "You may no doubt be surprised to receive a letter from an oid soldier you never saw or heard of, but in my paper I read about your brave and heroic service on the front, some where in France, where you braved the gas and sheiis of the Huns to serve hot coffee and doughnuts to the Yankee boys, for more than a week, and then retired only upon orders of the commanding officer. "You don't know how proud I was when I read that account! But I said. That's American, and those two girls are of the true blood!' I am am oM soldier of the war of '61*65. We didn't have such brave girls as you to cheer us on and serve us with hot coffee. We had to do without until we cquld serve ourselves. "We Wii! Win." "NosP. with such brave heroines in! our camps and in the trenches to cheer the boys on, we will win. I have one son in the service, but he has not ieft the States yet.

ALL CANADA NOW REGISTERED FOR INTENSE WAR EFFORT nirerhin^ V/er^rn Ganedd. V/hedbfleldr wit! yietd more on "account oPincredyed acreage- -Canada now has a National Regis- tration system very similar to that of the United States. In order to; know definitely whether the faH in dustrial power of the country is really mobilised or not, nnd, if the latter, to indicate where there is a weakness, June 22nd was set aside as "Registration Day" for the entire population of the Dominion above the age of sixteen. On that day, every man and wom an in Canada of 16 or over were to be registered. There were thousands of registration bureaus. The infor mation sought Was what the regis trants were doing to heip the great cause at present, and what further they eou!d do. The leading ques tions were—what farming qualifica tions did the man or woman pos sess, would he or she be prepared to quit his or her present occupation for more important national worlt, and would he or she help in farm ing? Women especially were ques tioned as to their home and domestic ties. Each man or woman, as they reg istered, received a card certificate, and can be challenged on the street or in fact anywhere to produce them. Neglect to register carries with it heavy penalties. Americans visiting Canada are not. however, subject to this lew, provided they can show evidences of their citizenship. There is a large business and holiday travel back ward and forward between the United States and Canada. To prevent any misunderstanding, the Canadian Government has issued an othcial statement that Amer ican visitors in Canada are not required to register so long as they can produce their citisenship papers. No .passports are required to enter or leave Canada by subjects or citi sens of any Allied country, and Americans are allowed to pass free ly back and forth without any hin drance, as at all times previouslv Mt/MS MAT CEE /A^ro pocxEr E/Porfs to TTr ap E:g Army Causes E/eetny Germans Ma&e 5peecf.

A-torney Sullivan an3 Joyce representing the city and the National Council of Defense respect ively. attempted to show that the pro fits now being made should be suf ficient. It was shown that during the two months, the Dunk Bros. Co. sold 2,464 tons of coal, which at the aliow ed margin would yield them $2,936 gross profits. Cahokia Coal Co. sold 1,537 tons of coal with a gToss margin of $1,562. Thomas Hoeltman sold 2.030 tons with a gross margin of $2, 436. Koons Coal Co. sold 1,815 tons with a gross margin of $2,178. Question was also raised by attend ing attorneys regarding the coal classification made by retail dealers. It was shown that one mine price now exists and that the classifications are made after the coal is ready for de livery here. It is believed that a fight will be npade on these grounds when the hearing is r^ronvened on July 29th. The case for the coal dealers is being handled by Attorney R. W. Ropiequet, a former operator and well posted on fuel conditions. Miss E. C. Nolan and Mrs. C. W. Davis were questioners appearing for civic societies. Origin of Tea Drifting.

A woman's hands should have as much care as her fact, for they are fully as much in evi dence. Do not use stove-ltd lifter or A stick of wood for a hammer: have a toot box in the kitchen where such things may be quickly found. Bruised nails and gouged J Bng^rs are painful gad often stay with us for month*. There it no economy in using old or worn-out utensils; team to keep ap-to-date equipment in the kitchen. A workman ia known by his toots. Use email wooden spoons for stir ring and avoid bums, as they never get hot in the dish over the heat. Have a soap sha er. in which gather aii pieces of nnscented soap to use in the dishpan; this wiii be a saving of both soap and the hands. Save steps by using a tray or a wire dish drainer in removing dishes from the dining tabie. One trip saved ia worth the mental effort and many times the trips may be divided by ten. When standing for any purpose, such as ironing, if a stooi is not con venient to use, foid a heavy rug to stand upon. The spring under the feet wit! make a great difference, taking the pressure off the tired feet. flood sharp knives, a reliable can opener and a good knife sharpener wiii save the temper which is often ruCed by poor toots. A hottie of kerosene should be kept near the sink, which may he rubbed after ench washing with a cioth damp ened in the coai oii; this wiii take off soii and ciean the sink much quicker than any powder or soap wiii do. A roi! of soft absorbent paper is invaluable in the kitchen. It may be used to wipe up spots on tabie or door, or to remove waste from dishes, thus saving in the dishwash ing. When food bums on. in a dish, do not scrape it. but put a teaspoon of soda and enough coid water to cover the bottom and iet it simmer for an hour or two: then if there are any obstinate apota, mb with a piece of pumice stone, which wiii not ieave bad scratches to roughen the surface.

Xow, with characteristic adjustabili ty, the French are transforming emer gency Into opportunity. In all their preparations for reconstruction when peace comes they are applying the principles that have been at the foun dation of their etHclency In the war. France sees clearly Ihe double na ture of her problem. She must re store the country Itself and must re establish its relationship with other countries. In doing both she looks to the United States for help. She pro poses to purchase in this country vast supplies of raw material, building su[c plles and machinery, which she cannot get from her colonies or from other nations engaged, like herself. In the work of rehabilitation. She proposes to pay for these things and to meet the debts she now owes by selling to this country not only an Increased quantity of those things In the manu facture of which she excels, hut also thoee things for which this country lr the past has looked to Germany. She refuses to consider resuming purchases of raw tnateriais in (fermany.

France has certain eiements of strength, however, upon winch she ia relying to restore her former prosperi ty. She lias a spiendid ciimate, a rich soti and an industrious and thrifty popniation. With her coai and iron mince, her crops of wheat, grapes, hemp, tiax and jute, her skiH in the manufacture of ietther, hosiery, cotton goods, giassware and silk goods, her future ia exceptionaiiy bright.

BY THE PRESiDENT OF THE UN)TED STATES am very much interested to hear of the campaign the Salvation Army has undertaken fcr money to sustain its war activities. want to express my admiration for the work it has done and my sincere hope that it may be fully sustained. COLONEL F. G. LAWTON, PARIS I have carefully observed the work of The Salvation Army from their ar rival here in the training area of the first division, American expeditionary forces. unhesitatingly state that in my opinion The Salvation Army has done mere for the enlisted men of the first division than any other organiza tion or society operating in France. ILLINOIS COUNCIL OF DEFENSE The Saivation Army is one of the government approved Organizations that works on behalf of our soldiers and sailors in this country and abroad. Not a dollar of this fund will be used for any other purpose than war work for the soldiers. The particular pur poses for which The Salvation Army now appeals is for the erection and maintenance of huts for the soldiers in France and at camps in this coun try; fer ambulance work; for hotels; fer the accommodation of soldiers on leave and en route to the front, and for emergency service. The work is modeled on that Of The Salvation Army on European and Asiatic battle fronts, where there have been 600 Sal vationists since the outbreak of the war-—(Samuel Insull, Chairman.) GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS The Salvation Army is particularly equipped for this kind of service. I have watched the career of this or ganization dor many years and I know its eade^s to be devoted and capable men and women. I hope it will be able to extend its work in France. I nct.ee that the President and the Sec retary of War have endorsed the movement Of course any agency which can in any way ameliorate the ccr.dition of the b&ys at the front 3hcu)d receive encouragement. *33, -'-"Mint, __ A GOOD CAUSE NEEDS HELP.

Juiy HI (2:55 a. m.)—Preparations for resumption of the Franco-American drive between the Aisne and che Marne were in fuli swing at this hour. White some of the soldiers had bat tied aimost continuousiy for 20 hours were snatching hurried naps, others were busy consolidating the newty won positions and getting ready for the next biow, believed to be scheduied for daybreak. The Germans retreated so rapidly that the Americans and French were enabled to move forward at the rate of more than a kilometer an hour, reaching their twelfth hour objectives in seven hours. Officers had great difficulty in hold ing back the victorious doughboys in order to keep the line straight. The Americans wanted to go to Germany. Regimental commanders had to send couriers forward to call back some units while one company got so far ahead that an airplane was used to carry the restraining message. The Germans everywhere along the line were panicky. They left their artillery, machine guns, rifles and supplies and sprinted eastward. The area captured by the Americans be tween the Aisne and the Ourcq had more than 150 artillery pieces of vari ous calibers in it. The enemy saved practically none of them as the Amer ican infantry followed closely the rolling barrage which completely si lenced the German guns. "We were so busy chasing Germans we haven't had time to pay any atten tion to the stuff they left behind," said one officer. Slightly wounded doughboys,-happy, grinning and dirty, lay about in groups after the advance was volun tarily halted, swapping experiences and displaying souvenirs. "We were just rushed into the trenches last night," said one young ster. "We were only there half an hour when the captain said: 'Boys, in just 20 minutes we go over the top. There is time for every man to have a good smoke.' Hefore we reached their trenches the Heinies were running. !t sure gave me a glorious feeting to see the Heinies hop out iike rabbits. We couidn't heip iaughing a' 'em." Another doughboy wounded in the hand after he had chased the Germans seven kilometers (4% miies) carried his automatic rifle in his good hand ready to use it if he had the oppor tunity. He encountered three pals ail of whom had been wounded more scriocdy than te He brought them back to the American lines, protecting them with his rifle. MitceHaneoua for qwick eervtce ca!) T.

"We got more of 'em and got more souvenirs, too, than the bunch that came after us." The cooks beiongiug to some of the advancing units couid not drag their iioid kitchens fast enough to keep up with their customers and furnish them with hot food. "How's thing going?" asked one of the cooks of a ret timing doughboy w ho had been wounded. "Hot 'em goin' faster')) ht !i," w as the repty. got a bunrh, but a sheii scratched me and the doc made me come back. Damn the luck!" "Why don't you stow down enough so we can get some hot grub up there?" "Aw. we ain't got time to eat when we get the dutehies on the run. Hard tack's good enough, it's a great day, boys." Another group siightiy wounded eurses the iuck that put them out of the lighting. "We'ii he iixed up a!) right and ready to mix with then) it) a coupie of weeks." said a corpora), "but the darned war witi he over before then !by the way the boys ate going after them. Now, i gotta get some more souvenirs for the foiks back home." I asked a group of doughboys if the tanks heiped them any. "Say. the tanks are aii right, but they've got to get home that']) run in high if they're going to keep up with us," he said. "We got mites ahead of 'em this morning." The doughboys hectare universally that they no longer have any respect for the Hermans except their running abliity. Herman units which opposed the Americans around Soissons were among the best of the kaiser's troops. Prisoners say the attack took then) un awares. Near Soissons the Hermans contemplated minor attacks them selves, starting their barrage fifteen minutes before the adlied drive start ed. The Americans charged right through the enemy barrage and drove the Hermans from their guns. The poilus everywhere are delighted with the bravery displayed by their comrades in arms. They are saluting the doughboys with "Vive les Ameri cans!" and shaking their hands. "These Frenchmen are so tickted they want to hoid our hands ail the time," said one doughboy. American ambulance units operated speediiy, following up the advance and iushing in the wounded, who are now happy in their bandages.

The heads of dressmaking houses, who are carefuliy watched wherever they go, contributed to the fashion for these accessories by placing them in their own suits. America introduced few of them, and site did not find even the short waistcoat of inst February, a success, declares a writer on fashion topics, it was worn by a few segments of smart women, fashionable and unfash ionabfe. rich and poor, but the iong waistcoat was treated as an outcast, it was not even recognized. iiut franco persisted and the dressmakers in New York are putting it into suits and frocks for summer resorts.

BULLETIN. (By Fred S. Ferguson, United Press Staff Correspondent.) With the American Army in the Champagne. Juiy 19—(1:45 a, m.)— American troops co-operating with the French in the drive between the Marne and the Aisne already are with in sight of Soissons. Latest reports received at headquar ters indicated that the Franco-Amert can attack is progressing satisfactory along the whoie front. French cavairy is said to have passed the rnaiu highway from Sois sons to Chateau Thierry. The number of German prisoners is not yet known. One American unit aione has taken 3,309. Many more have not been counted. More than fifty enemy cannon have been cap tured. The advance has been so rapid that various regimental headquarters have been moved forward as many as three times and couriers have had great difficulty in keeping in touch with the commanders' migrations. The drive already is seriously threatening the German right fiank in the Marne salient and hoids possi biiities of forcing a great enemy with drawal. Success of the present operations has been the means of averting any immediate danger to Paris. The at tack is rapidly exposing a great con centration of enemy reserves and artiilery which were heid in readiness to be thrown into the battle to the southeastward. It is a question whether the Germans wiil be abie to organise ti^ese or will have to with draw them. The element of surprise was the great factor In/the Franco-American success. Ability of the French and Americans to hold the enemy along the Marne Bne aiso contributed. The American reserves received or ders to move to the battle line at 5 p. m. Rushed forward in trucks and camions, they arrived within march ing distance about midnight. They be gan their hike without delay and reached the front oniy a short time before the zero hour, yet when they advanced and started chasing the hoches they apparent]} were as fresh as ever. There was no artiHery preparation. The artiHery suddenly began a roil ing barrage and the tanks and in fantry moved forward. That was all. A heavy thunderstorm had helped to conceal the troop movements, but the day broke bright and clear. It was great fighting weather. Many of the German soidiers were at breakfast or were seeking sheiter from the rain when the allies went forward. The Americans had "break fasted" the night before and were without the handicap of observing meal time. The advance was main tained without interruption up to noon, when the French and Americans halted briefly to rest and reorganise. Then they swept ahead again, advanc ing farther than in their first rush. French cavalry swung ahead with the infantry in the afternoon and aided the Americans in cleaning up the cap tured villages. Americans and French surrounded and captured entire German batteries, including the artillery of an entire, division. The Americans carried their full pack of thirty pounds on their backs. Most of our units did not bother with machine guns. It was straight job of rifles, bayonets and grenades. The Americans worked their way through fields and woods and into vil lages, driving the boches before them. They took prisoners so rapidly that the latter became a hindrance and were sent to the rear as rapidly as possible. Later when other infantry was sent forward in support they carried up machine guns. These were quickly followed by held guns and then heavy artillery. It was one of the quickest examples of organization in the whole war. The fighting unity of France and America was illustrated by the fact that repeatedly French and American pounded were carried to the rear in the same ambulance Ameri cans drove French motor trucks and Frenchmen drove American trucks. Doughboys constituting the reserve! rode forward on trucks and ammu nition wagons, eating beans and "stum" as they bounced over the un even ground. They hadn't haited to eat in the last twenty-four hours, but they were grinning and satis&ed at the prospect of "eating up a few Heinies." The French "fly" tanks were re markabiy effective. The Americans worked behind them like veterans as they roiied across the Helds and up the streets of the villages. When the attack was being planned, Wednesday night, a certain American generai suggested that his troops shouid advance to a certain point, "I fear it would be inadvisable," said his superior. "You can't go that far." j "The hell we can't!" exploded the general. "Any place I ask my boys to ,go, they'll go!" The objective requested was granted and the general and his boys were there last night. The attack northwest of Chateau Thierry imperils the Germans holding j the nearest point to Paris. They wtli be forced to use up their reserves here if the allied advance is to be checked. The attack also weakens the enemy east of Rheims. The Americans and the French there have not given an inch of ground of any importance, while the battering goes on west of Rheims. "Soissons" is on all American lips. The attack in that region has pro gressed with such speed that the sit uation is most favorabie. ALLIES' TROOPS NEAR SOISSONS London, July 19.—The French and Americans are within a mile of Sois sons, it was learned authoritatively to day. They have moved forward all along the line between the Aisne and the Marne, their greatest penetration at last reports being eight miles. One Amerieap division took Vierzy and is reported to have advanced three I miles beyond. (Vierzy is six miles south of Sois sons and about three miles east of the original line. A three-mile advance beyond this would take the Americans across the Soissons-Chateau-Thierry road.)

Schorr, a railroad employee, who was arrested last Saturday by Detectives Grogan and Walker on a charge of uttering disloyal remarks, was released yesterday and the charge against him dismissed by United States Commissioner Coley, following a preliminary hearing in his office. Assistant United States District Attorney McCawley Baird declared the evidence was not suf ficient to indict. According to several police ofHcers Schorr is alleged to have said that he would "go to Mexico before he would go in the army," and that "he would be shot before he would fight against his wife's people." The significance of this last remark is not apparent as Mrs. Schorr professes to have been born in France. Schorr was taken into custody last Saturday and in a report made by Detectives Grogan and Walker the names of Mrs. J. J. Townsend, 532 I North Eight street, Joe Pulliam, Mr. and Mrs. Jihn Zaenger and their son, Frank Zaenger, were given as wit nesses. At the hearing yesterday only Mrs. Townsend and Pulliam tes tified. Nearly 40 witnesses were present on behalf of Schorr, but all were not called upon. At the close of the hear ing Assistant Attorney Baird an nounced the evidence insufficient and the case was dismissed. BOYS' FANCY ROMPERS, $1J50and $1 VALUES. AT 69c. HUB CLOTH. )NG CO.

Dear Ruth: 1 guess it is about time to write you, to let you know that we got here aii O. K. We are now sleeping in a big barn in a iittie French village at present, and we are way up high in the mountains, and the ciouds fioat around us like fog. The scenery here is grand. 1 never saw anything tike it and 1 wouldn't trade places with any one in Logan for anything. You should have seen me "trying" to teii a French girl where a scythe that was moved from the ham wall, had gone. You sure wouid have laughed. I guess she thought 1 was a clown or acrobat the way she eyed me. The scythe was on the wait and some fel low had moved it and this girl came In after it. It sure was a circus. 1 couidn't get what she said, and she couidn't get me either. We are just as green in this country as foreigners landing in America. 1 do wish you c#uld see this country —it is a great education to travel like we have for the past five weeks. Wo have gone aimost a third of the way around the giobe. arnWrom ail indica tions, we will travel more. There is one town that 1 hope to see again, and aithough 1 am far off, 1 expect to be there some day again. We get aU we want to eat. To bacco is scarce. but it doesn't bother me. Weil, I can't think of much to WTite, oniy I wii! say that for three days was so seasick 1 aimost wished the ship wouid sink, i swore I wouid never cross a creek on a bridge again. Hut soon got ail right. And think when the war is over won't want to see a train or ship again for years. Weii, I suppose 1 must ciose for this time.
