LONi)ON. Sept. 17. — British
troops' yesterday advanced their lino
in the neighborhood of Pleegsleert
dad Ypres. in Flanders, according to
the official statement Issued Iasi even-
ing by the British War Office.
French troops. in their advance
toward the Chemin-des-Dawes, hay-.
gained two-lbird* of a mile on a two
and -a -half -mile front, to the north-
east and eget of Saney, where they
captured an additional 600 prisoners.
The sacrifices the Germans are
making to slay the slow and steady -
advance of Gen. Mangin's force to-
ward the Chemin-des-Damen are
made evident by the large cumber of
the enemy deed found on the field
of Saturday's and Sunday's opera-
tions. The number of prisoners,
which increased during the day to
more than 3,500. also is very large
for the length of front attacked. s
Thr dead are thickest around La( -
fax mill and east of Vapxaillon,
where (he enemy counter -attacked
violently In a vain effort to regain
the position,' he lost Saturday.
Gen. Margin's troops not only
maintained all their gains, but push-
ed bn from Vauxafllon and captured
the plateau to the southeast. which t
given them a vantage ground of
great importance. Extendiu the
field of battle to the 'oath. the
French also made appreciable gains
by occupying Meanejean farm and 1
grouipd considerably to the east of
that notation. Further south they
took by\storm Hill Nu. 169, north of
(''11es-stir-Atane.
The ' ermana came back repeated-
ly in strong force all along this front
and fought stubbornly. but with no
other result than to increase their
extremely heavy losses. While these
actions seem to be only details when
compared with the recent larger oper-
ations., their slghlfirance appears
clearly from the valiant rffnr(s made
to et p them.
Cytlrther advances by the French
on the high ground w and south
of the Chemin-des-Dames will make
the German poaltione there very pre-
carious.

WINTER ttlfI4EAT IN ONTARIO.
Co-epanhiq Eipanments.
. According to the, latent information
available, the acreage of winter wheat in
(inter—tom the present year was only about
one -thiel the aver:tee animal acreage for
the past thirty sox years The decrease
was largely due to the light
last autumn and to the un
amount of winter _killing. It
mated that fifty-six per cent. of t
wheat was pbwed last spring. A
able amount of the crop which w
unplowed was sown -with barley. nets'stor
sprung wheat either in patched or overate
whole areas. It is therefore, exceedingly
important that fainters make the best
possible use of Urn good wheat for seed
purposes (his autumn. Those having a
surplus of good winter wheat suitable for
seed purposes could report to their county
agricultural representative or advertise
through the press.
From answers to enquiries sent to the
farmers in the different counties in On-
tario, a gh( -one per tent. report that the
Dawson's (:olden Chaff Is still the most
extensively grown variety.
Nith the object of originating better
varieties than three already in cultivation,
crosses have been made at the Ontario
Agricultural College between the Dew-
wrn's Golden Chaff and sten of
the varieties of pitltrader ly high quaity
fur bread [{rxeduction. A cross made be-
tween the 'Meson's Golden Chaff and the
Bulgarian has furnished a new wheat
which in six years has surpassed both its
parents in average yield per acre and 15
almost equal to the Bulgarian in
read 1roduction. This variet y has been
given the name 'O.A C. No. 104" and has
been distributed throughout Ontario in
cerlrtection with the tie operative experi-
nentsin each of the past three years. It
has made the highest record in each of

"The defection of Russia and the

movement on the western front; gen-
eral lack of confidence in the meas -
urea taken to provide agricultural
laborers and to prevent a fuel and
food famine for the coming winter;
the half-hearted sod inconclusive way
in which the scandals affecting a
former chief of secret police, a Sen-
ator and editor of a prominent news-
paper, a Deputy [6a ♦ president of
a high court were Wag handled.
"The French were sickis[ spe.ebes
containing explanations of the past
and promisee for the futures. They
were sick of the censorship, which
continued to keep them to igneranee
about what was xo.ng on abroad and
at home. They were willing to on-
tinue their appalling sacrifices In
blood and treasure, but they wanted
to be sure that theee sacrifices were
not being prolonged in vain.
"In asking Clemrnceau to form a
ministry President Polscire heeded
the insistent and warning cry of the
nation: • Give un a Premier who will
see. that we have fuel and food, and
who will not allow our armies to be
assailed from the rear through paci-
fist propaganda and through strikes

Navane to conquer Atlantic.
Now out of the army, Jean Na-
varre, the famous French airman, is
busy perfecting his plans for a eight
across the Atlanta. L'Echo des
Sports, of Paris, makes the announce-
ment that Navarre will most prob-
ably set out to conquer the ocean
next summer. All preliminary ar-
rangement for the flight have been
completed. Navarre will nee one of
the machines which the American ex-
pert, Mr. Glen Curtiss, has been per-
fecting for some time. Mr. Batchel-
der, chairman of the American Auto-
mobile Association, Is giving the air-
man evey support. Navarre, you may
take It, will be the first airman to
attempt to fly across the Atlantic. He
says he will have the machine and
adds: "I will succeed or lose my life
In the attempt." Navarre Is the idol
of his countrymen—daring, Impish,
reckless. He has shot down more
German aviators than any of his ron-
temposariee. He has won every
fight, though taking all the odds
against him.
Art A pprer fated.
A naive appreciation of an artivt's
work 1s recited In the Outlook. This
story refers to Ben Foster, who, ween
sketching in the Mitine woods taut
summer, rams upon an old cabin teat
he had once oteupled when camping
out. The owner at Ont felled to
cognise Mr. Foster, then esrlalmed:
"Oh, now I remember you; you're
the fellow that painted that picture
on the door. Say, lob of people piked
that picture and wanted to -buy It of

"Either Me civilian popu-
lation must go short of many things to which it is accustomed
in times:of peace or our armies must go short of munitions and
other Mings indispensable to them."
NOW the only way we can
possibly live up to that
obligation is by going with-
out in order that our soldiers
may have. For the money
we waste is not money at
all—it is equipment, clothing,
shot and shell that arc ur-
gently needed in France.
By denying ourselves, there-
fore, we enable Canada to
procure to the fullest extent
the materials and labor which
she and our Allies need for
the successful prosecution of
the war.
What happens when we fail
to save?
A pull on labor by the Govern-
ment in one direction and a
pull on labor by the people
in the opposite direction.
Hundreds of millions of
dollars are of no use to the
country if goods and services
can be secured only to the
extent of eighty millions of
dollars. So we must do every-
thing in our power to release
both goods and labor for the
purposes for which Canada
needs them.
WHETHER it be food,
coal, wool, steel, leather,
labor or transportation, the
result in all cases is the same.
Whoever competes with the
nation by freely satisfying his
own desires, selfishly appro-
priates to his own use that
which is so urgently required
for our fighting men in
France.
For the sake of your country and the boys "over
there," spend cautiously. Think of what Lord
Kitchener has said, and ask yourself first, "Is this
something I really nes; or can 1 do without it?"

Cuban Crop Was Short.
The crop of raw sugar in Cuba turned
out to be 300.000 tons short of the esti-
mates upon which the original allotments
of sugar to the A'lied countries, including
Canada and the United States. were
calculated. Fifty thousand tons were
sunk by submarines off the American
coast. The Louisiana cane crop and the
American beet sugar crop were alike
disappointing. The sugar beet section of
northern France was overrun by the
Germans. and the sugar beet section of
northern Italy was overrun by the
Austrians in their spring offensives.
Consequently the world is short of sugar.
