LONDON, July 16. --The expected renewal of the German offensive in France has begun. Fierce battles are In progress on both sides of the fatu- ous cathedral city of Rheims, which since the last offensive along the Marne has stood the apex of a sharp salient Into the German line. West of Rheims the Germans un- der the pressure of large numbers of troops. the unleashing of which was preceded by a veritable hall of high explosive and gas shells, have been enabled to cross the Marne at several places. of the city, however, they have been held for the smallest of gains by the tenacious resistance of the Franco -Italian defenders of the line. Altogether, the two battle fronts aggregate between 50 and tIO mile. in length. American troops are fighting val- iantly on the sectors they have been holding, and at two points have met with notable success. At Vaux they not alone broke down a violent at- tack by the enemy, but drove him back several hundred yards and only returned to their former positions when rhe advance of the Germans southeast of Chateau Thierry. across the Marne, made the reoccupation of their trenches of strategic value. Along the Marne, between the town of Fossoy and the River Surp. maina, where the Germans crossed the Marne. the Americans in a strong counter-attack forced back the en- eniy to the right bank of the stream. Al other points alongthe river they used to the greatest advantage their machine guns against, enemy ele- ments which were crossing the river on pontoot bridges, killink or wound- ing many of them. In ihe counter- attack near Fossoy betw en 1.000 and 1,500 prisoners ,wers akea by the Aniericans. The Germans, in addition lo their tremendous expenditure of ex Icalve and gas shells, used nuinerous nks againat the lines of the defender and also opened with numerous natal guns bombardments of towns and cities far behind the battle line, dropping upon them shells from I and 12 -inch pieces. The Allies continue to hold their own, according to the latest iidvices received here, and that is the most and the best that can be expected in so early a stage of the offenetve, be- GIit:eietty....

Mrs. l'rimble has been a resident of Ottawa for the past twenty-four years and is highly esteemed by all who know her. "Only those afflicted the same Mrs. Trimble continued, -can understand the torture I have suffered for the past Iwo years with rheumatism. My hips and legs troubled me most, but sometinwe the pain would extend around to the small of my back. It was just a constant, terrible aching that seemed to go clean to the bone, and was so severe at times it would sicken me. At times my limbe wouid swsll up twice theit natural size, and the muscles would draw up until they fdt like they were tied in knots. I couldn't stoop over at all and if I dropped any- thing 1 had to get someone to pick it up for me. From last February until ISby I was so crippled up that I couldn't get out of the house and could just barely hobble around. Sometimes I suffered so I would go several nights without getting a sink of sleep. Nothing relieved me and I sometimes felt that I would never re- cover. "I had gotten to where I had little faith in anything to help me. and I didn't be- lieve much of what I read about Tanlac. but I was in so much misery I finally made up my mind to try it.

We may be certain that he will continue to guide Greece not only toward na- tional grandeur, but toward a super- ior moral ideal. The era of Machia- velli and Bismarck is ended. It has already lasted too long. We have arbitrarily tolerated in statesmen customs and methods which in an ordinary citizen of average honesty would be judged dishonorable.

The German tanks are like fortified towers, much heavier armed than the French or British, but are practically useless when they have to leave a .road and slow up. The new French tanks can turn in their own length; the latest British tanks also have a power of mobility of uitich higher order than their forerunners. The development of tanks Is a remarkable feature of the war and, as they are ideal ma- chine gun posts, they will play a more important part than ever in the new offensive, Pvince Rupert is sold at popular pnces $16 to 316.50. under the; auspices of the Canada Food EAST BUFFALO LIVE STOCK Board.

Phone 208 Cement From Beetroots. Experiments in French factories have resulted in the production of an excellent cement as a bye -product of beet -sugar rellnink. The first step In the production of sugar from beets is boiling them. It had previousIg been customary to throw 'way as valueless the scum fotmed on the cauldrons. But it was discovered that this scum contains large quantities of carbonate of lime. It is estimated that 4,0(4) tons of the carbonate can be recovered frotn 70,000 tons of beets. To this quantity of the car- bonate 1,100 10011 of clay are added, the resultant product being • good cement. The beet scum 4. pumped into large reservoirs and allowed to evaporate for a certain length of time before being mixed with the clay. It is then stirred or beaten for an hour before being fed into a rotary oven such as is toted making Portland ce- ment. A Mighty Ice -Block. The largest mass of ice in the world is probebly the one which fills up nearly the whole of the interior of Greenland. It is believed to form a block about six hundred thousand square miles in area, and average a mite and a half in thickness. Accord- ing to these statistics the lump of ice is larger in volume than the whole body of water in the Mediterranean, and there is enough of it to cover the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland with a lay- er about seven miles thick. -Family Herald.
