TileEar'l of Derby,'Seeretar�y, for War,
has notified Field Marshal Viscount

Forces, of, his decision to reduce the

the interests of , our armies, abroad,"
says the Wax' Secretary, "I think you
will agree with inc that the army at
home will expect equally to be asked
to make `certairi-.sacrifices;. The bur-
den cannot be allowed to fall wholly
o women and children and civilian
n e;
workers,"
He explains that the reduced ratios
compares favorably with the field ra-
tion of most other armies, and Says
that the `reasons for making the 're-
duction imperative are known to all,
adding, "The fate of the war may
well depeim upon- the spirit in which
such fl reductions are accepted. The
grit of every individual soldier and
g
civilian is now being tested and'may
be still•flrther tested during the com-
ing months. It is the duty of the
army at home to'set the whole na-
tion an example of determination
and cheerfulness,. and I have no
doubt of their response.".

The^enemy also opened a barrage. on
our lines, but despite the vigoentrs` op_

The other party got within ten
yards of the enemy's line before be-
ing discovered. It then bombarded
its way into the trench. The Germans,
w'ithclrew before the raiders, but.
