Efow.
Thrift es a national duty, so that.
the money thus saved may be invest-
ed with the go•5^ernzntent.
The more goods we buy at honee,
and the more we make and send
abroad the richer the country be-
coiner.
By edevotMg nil our energies to
Productive things useful and abandon-

The only money judiciously spent
es that that keeps ourselves in health

Z'4"omea are the main power in the
campaign for thrift. As leaders of
the home they can hest foster econ-

day night. The work was done by
French patrols, which cleared the
enemy out of the positions and
brought back some prisoners, The
French first and second lines west of
the Meuse were iuternzittently bom-
barded,
Other fighting broke out in hwzn-
.
eague, were German attaelrsere
°nsuccessiul. The enemy first bow-
lbarded the region of Le alesnil-Les-
:I:eisons de Champagne and then
launched several simultaneous at-
tacks by small effeetives. AU these
Rsets were caught in a Freucit cur-
in of fire or repulsed by counter-
•%: of the French,
'alga French cleared the Germans
tr r,f a first line trench near Ver -
..e 'adt'vlilers, south of the Somme,
A lull in the fighting Saturday

, - a v!' lent bombardment by
the Rer:rtaa artillery. Tbis and inter-
•' nt artillery duels Sunday at
vur!'5ns points comprise the ossily ae-
tiv ty in this sector.
A Ger non attaek was made Satur-
day night ore Freneh lines in the
Bois des Loges, between kresuieres
and Beauvralgnes, south of Roye.
The attack was repulsed.
Two French mines were exploded
Sunday in the sector of La Fille
Morte in tbe Argonne, destroying
German trenches.
A French squadron composed of
ten aeroplanes dropped forty-tbree
shells on the railway stations at
Nantilloie and Brieulles and on bi-
vouacks, In the regions of Mont Fan -
con and Romagne. The same night
aeroplanes dropped 11 shells on the
dirigible hangar at Metz-Freseati.
After bombarding the French lines
is the sector between the Bois-
d'Avoeourt and Hill 304 all Friday
night, the Germans made two attacks
on the left bank of the Meese Sun-
day, one to the west of Hill 304 and
the otber, in tbe nature of a surprise
attack, on the eastern slopes of Le
Mort Homme. Both attacks failed
completely. After these assaults the
German guns lessened the severity of
their fire on this bank of the river.
On the east bank and in the Woevre
there was comparative calm all day.
The French made further progress
in the vicinity of Hill 287, while
the Germans gave their attention to
the east bank of the river, renewing
their attacks on the Fort Douaumont-
Vaux line, in the region of the Bois
de la Cailette. These attacks were
preceded by a very violent prepare -
trey artillery fire, but the French
"nes were held at every point and
the Germans were repulsed with ser-
ous losses.
After the failure of these at-
tc:upt:t, the Germans shifted their
attack slightly to the west, to the
north of Thiaumont farm. The
French fire -curtain here blocked all
progress.
A renewal of the German activity
at Les Eparges, at the foot of the
heights of the Meuse, was under-
taken by a strong reconnoitring party
assisted by a heavy bombardment.
The Germans were unable, under the
French fire, to leave their trenches:

Belgian Situation is Reaching an
Alarming Phase.
LONDON, May 16.—Coincident
with reports of a food crisis in Ger-
many news has reached bere from a
highly authoritative source that con-
ditions in Belgium are approaching
an alarming phase. At a recent
meeting of the:-Beltian-,Relief Com-
mittee at the ;,Mansion. House Mr.
Asquith 'stated that the Belgian pop-
ulation was on .short rations. Mat-
ters have now attained such a pitch
that dogs are 'being slaughtered for
'food.
The suggestion is made that,
while the German authorities in Bel-
gium are keeping, strictly to the let-
ter of their contract with the Ameri-
can organizers of Belgian relief as
approved by the Allied Governments
and are not attempting to divert any
supplies sent for the Belgian popu-
lation, their requisitions upon the
home produce of the country are so
heavy that foodstuffs sent into the
country by the agency of the Belgian
Relief Committee are inadequate to,
meet the necessities of the popula-
tion.
