The most conspicuous gains have been on the flanks of the long front, while towards the center, up the valley of the Scarpe, we have made less progress, owing 'to the intensity of concealed machine gun fire. “Despite the opposition of massed German forces, the Canadiam troops took Fresnoy. ‘“The Germans are fighting with des- perate obstinacy. ° “Machine gu; were perched in three at various heights, while lines of uncut wire were discovered in gullies which concealed them fro mdirect ob- servation as well as from the search- ing effect of our barrage, so that the attack upon Oppy amountad to little more than a reconnaissance in force, and our troops withdrew to enable the Zunners to concentrate their fire upon the newly discovered obstacles. ‘South of the Bensee the Dattle de- veloped into a most serious movement, our troops reaching Cherisy.

He did not thini: personally that the submarimes would diminish shipping to such an. exteut RS to affect the ultimate issue of the war. “I am convinced the Germans are wrong In their estimate of the resuits of their submarine warfare,” - Earl CCurzon continued. “They will not ruceeed In starving England or her allies into surrender. “They may drive us to compulsory rationing. T think we ought to adopt rationing, but there is not the siightest cause for panic or alarm.” Referring to the entry into the® of the United States, he deciared: may not be very long before their armed forces are seen upon the contl- nent.” “We shall find, therefore, that we have secured in America a whole- hearted. sincere and powerful ally who rntered the war for a victory to man- kind and who will not dasist until they have secured it The Difference Between Oleomargarine and Butter is only Prejudice and Price.
