CANADIAN CAVALRY TWICE
BROKE THROUGH GERMAN LINES
Some Units have Been in Close Contact With Infantry on Somme
All Summer.
A despatch from London says: Al-
though the Canadian cavalry has not
been much engaged in active warfare,
some have seen more of the Somme
fighting than some of the Canadian
divisions. A Western cavalry officer
who came across to London from
France on Wednesday, told a corre-
spondent that throughout the Sum-
mer his unit had been able to break
through the Germans' lines with good
results. Although largely engaged
in passive duty, the cavalry have done
much patrol work, and have been fre-
quently within range of the enemy's
heavy artillery.

General F. B. Maurice, Director of Operations. -
A despatch from London says:
Major-General F. B. Maurice, chief
director of military operations at the
War Office, in an interview with the
Associated Press, predicted that the
British gains in, the Anere Valley
were only the forerunner of further
equally important advances which will
be made on the western front during
the whiter months.
"Our success on the Ancre," said
Gen, Maurice, "means that we are not
going to give the enemy much rest
this winter. It means that whenever
weather conditions permit we are go-
ing to attack and subject the enemy
to unceasing pressure during the
coming months so as to prevent as
far as possible the Germans from es-
tablishing themselves in new posi-
tions.
"All the attempts of the enemy to
minimize our success will not explain

notice given by a group of members
after the speech of Walter Runciman,
President of the Board of Trade, on

PLANT THAT MAKES "ICE."
Habits of the Frost Weed Prove a
Puzzle to Botanists.
Late in autumn, after producing
two sets of blooms, the frost weed
becomes a miniature ice factory and
forms crystals of "ice" about the
cracked bark of the root. On each
little broken rootlet there appear
cakes of "ice," exactly right in size ;
for the refrigerator of a fairy queen.
As yet no botanist has been able to'
discover the secret of the plant's ice
making.
The ice appears often long before
ice is formed on the ponds, and can
be found by digging up the deeply
set rootlets.
Two blooming seasons is another
peculiarity of the plant. Early in
June it sends out a wealth of golden',
yellow blossoms, having five petals i'
each and set at intervals upon the'
thickly leaved stem, These blooms
mature and produce seeds.
Then late in August the plant
flowers again, producing blooms idea-
tical with those of the earlier season,

ain was to hold her own, adding:
• "If our yards had remained in full
activity we could have produced two
million tons yearly, while our total

two and one-quarter million. I see
no reason why in the next six months
we should not turn out nearly half a

With respect to the possibility of
the Government taking measures to
f limit food consumption, he said it was
