The British have captured Beaucourt on the Somme front as a result of the continuation of their powerful drive begun yesterday. The prisoners taken by the British number more than 5000 up to the present, according- to the ollicial bulletin issued tonight. PARIS, Nov. 14. The "British attack now in progress in the Ancre region was preceded by four days of intense foar, says La Liberte's correspondent at the front. The British, he says,, did not at first fire a shot, and were not) perceived until they were upon the 1 Oermang. Rising from a creeping- attitude when & few yards from the German trenches, they charged with loud hurrahs. A French officer, who was present, said he observed with astonishment the progress the British troops had made. Every man. says the correspondent, seemed to have a separate mission, and, when ho fell, another immediately went after the same objective. At the village of St. Pierre Divon, where the fighting was exceptionally bitter, the British delivered the as saults and a whole German battalion, according to the writer, with the Major commanding, laid down their arms. According to this correspond ent the average depth of front pene trated by the British was from 1000 to 1200 yards. nation In the -world ought to come to us to learn how to raise big crops. We ought to raise such big crops that circumstances Ilka the present can never recur, when men can make as much as if the supply was so short that the middleman could charge for t what he pleased. It will not do to be niggardly with the world In respect to its food supply. "I wish that all problems of govern ment were displayed in as clear lines of duty as this problem of govern ment with regard to how the farmer ought to be treated is displayed. I wish, for example, that foreign af fairs were as simple as agriculture. The great satisfaction about what you have to discuss is that when once your duty is determined we have got a great force or Intelligence to go forward in the line of duty. "The thing that makes a free coun try vital is the large number of people who get together to do important things without asking the leave of the Government to do them. The strik ing thing about a great country like the United States is that if the Gov ernment neglected everything the peo ple would do it; that you do not beckon to the people of the United States, they command you to go on, and things that are neglected they have got plenty of brains to get to gether and do for themselves."

Awards to successful bidders on the first ships in the new naval building programme are expected to follow a conference tomor row between Secretary Eaniels and rep resentatives of the shipbuilding com panies. Bids for four battleships, four scout cruisers, 29 submarines and 16 destroy ers now are before the Department. The only awards made on the programme, so far are four destroyers given last week to the Bath Iron Works at Bath, Me. The Department has under consider ation the construction of at least 10 slips at the Philadelphia Navy-yard. Because it is near a center of a labor and the structural steel district, that yard might become the Navy's greatest building yard, should the Government undertake a wholesale construction campaign.

In explanation of the recent bombardments of Rheims by the Germans, the Overseas News Agency eays- they were in retaliation for the bombardment by heavy French guns on several occasions of ttie towns of Vitry, Warmerville and Bazancourt, behind the German lines, causing the death of three men, one woman and one child in Bazancourt. Rheims was shelled on five days. The news agency says the fire was not di rected against the cathedral, but against concealed positions of French cannon in the city.

Farm Assets Are Tangible. "One of the things - that has more interested me about what has been done recently by legislation for the benefit of the farmer is the question why it was not done long before. It Is astonishing that the assets, the val uable, available assets, the' visible assets of the farm should not have been available as a- basis of credit in the banks on the same terms as the assets of commercial undertakings and manufacturing industry. Cattle are just as visible and tangible as goods in warehouses and goods on trains.

"Back up your Mayor in his efforts to clean up the illicit sellers of liquor; back up your officials and you can go as far as you like in eliminating the bootleggers," declared Mayor Hi Gill, of Seattle, last night addressing a meeting of citizens at the White Tem ple on the subject of prohibition en forcement. "There have been in Seattle recently some maudlin tears shed over the pass ing out of confirmed alcohol addicts. In my- light in Seattle I have not been interested in the booze addict, nor have I been worried by the millionaire who was able to smuggle it In for his own use he kept it at home and it hurt nobody but him. The man I want to help is the young man and the labor ing man who wants a fair chance to leave it alone.

Result of Private Inquiry by Gov ernor Declared to Show That Punishment, While Necessary, Was Par Too Severe. SALEM. Or., Nov. 14. (Special.) The State Board of Control today de manded the resignation of J. W. Minto, superintendent of the Oregon Peniten tiary, because his administration of the prison was deemed unsatisfactory. Mr. Minto at once handed in his resigna tion. The decision of the Board to dismiss the superintendent came after Govern or Withycombe had presented results of his investigation of the "hosing" on November 5 of Jefferson Baldwin, serv ing a term from Clatsop County for burglary, ana James Curtis, serving from Marlon County for a statutory offense. So Successor Named. Expressing displeasure at what he termed cruel treatment of these pris oners and dissatisfaction with the gen eral conduct of the prison, the Govern or requested Secretary of State Olcott and State Treasurer Kay to Join him in asking for Mr. Minto's resignation. Both Mr. Olcott and Mr. Iay agreed to the Governor's request. Appointment of a successor to Super intendent Minto will be delayed bv the board until a man with the qualifica tions deemed necessary is found. In the interim L. C. Sherwood, deputy warden, will have charge of the prison's ad ministration. Mr. Minto Defends Action. After he had filed his resignation with the Board of Control Mr. Minto said he preferred not to give out any statement concerning the incident of "hosing." except to say that drastic ac tion in dealing with the two convicts had become necessary,' since all other methods of controlling them had failed. "It v.-aB simply a case of my retain ing control of things here or not, and I acted according to my best Judgment," he said. "Officially, the board gave me no reason for requesting ray resigna tion." Case Declared Serious. First intimation received by t'.ie Board of Control of t'.ie "hosing" of the two convicts came early last week, and Thursday Superintendent Minto was summoned before the members for an explanation. At this time the superin tendent declared the prisoners had been "hosed" mildly. To determine matters, however, to his own satisfac tion. Governor Withycombe instituted an inquiry on his own account, wita the result that je found the victims of the "hoeing" were seriously injured. That the men were deserving of some punishment, however, the Governor and other members of the Board agreed. Superintendent Minto advised tie Board that both Curtis and Baldwin were uncontrollable by ordinary means, tiat Baldwin in particular had proved recalcitrant., Upon Baldwin's ehoulderj is placed the responsibility for setting fire to the penitentiary flax plant last May, and ho is now under indictment for this offense. Governor Conducts Investigation. Setting forth the results of his in vestigation of the "hosing" incident. Governor Withycombe said he had in terviewed Deputy Warden Sherwood, the four men who participated in the "hosing" and the two men "hosed." "The result of my inquiry in its most conservative form," said the executive, "showed that each man in turn was handcuffed tothe outside of a cell door, facing it; his clothing was left on him, and the fire hose, with full water pressure, was then played on him from a distance of - pproximately 10 feet higher than the position iu which he stood. The stream struck him on the left side, but he was fas tened in such a way that he could re ceive practically all of it on his back. Act Considered Cruel. "One man was thus 'hosed' from probably one to three minutes. The other man wan hosed from five to 12 minutes. The officers themselves, ques tioned individually, give these esti mates of time. Higher estimates were given by the prisoners. During the hosing Superintendent Minto and War den Sherwood were present. "The force of the water at such a distance, as admitted by the peniten tiary engineer, who assisted in holding the hose, would be enough to knock a strong man down unless he had some thing to support him. The engineer said further that the application of such a stream would be very painful, even through his clothing, and cer tainly upon the neck and head. "Each prisoner testified that his side and back were made black and blue by the punishment. One prisoner ex hibited the cuts on his wrists made by the handcuffs when his weight fell upon them. After the 'hosing' the two men were left In their cells with the Soaking wet clothing on them for prob ably an hour; estimates of the time va rying from half an ho'ur to two hours." Committee W ill Report. Following the a.ction of the Board in demanding Superintendent Minto's resignation, a meeting was held with the ijiembers of the investigation com mittee composed of F. W. Mulkey and L. J. Wentworth, of Portland, and K. E. Brodle. of Oregon City. This com mittee will make a thorough inquiry into the prison management and needs and submit its recommendations to the Board of Control, which, in turn, ex pects to make recommendations to the Legislature. Mr. Minto was appointed superin tendent of the penitentiary September 30, 1915, to succeed his brother. Harry Minto. who was shot and killed by Otto Hook-er, an escaped convir-t. He has served as Postmaster and Chief of Police of Portland. Chief of. Police of Salem and Sheriff of Marion County. $25,000 CAMPAIGN IS ON Assoclulcd Charities to He Known' ns Welfare Bureau. Beginning today the Public Welfare Bureau, formerly the Associated Char ities, will start a campaign to raise $25,000 for charitable uses this com ing year. The campaign was decided on yesterday at a meeting of the board of directors when the membership of that body was increased to 25. Mrs. J. D. Farrcll. Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens and Attorney T. H. Boyd were named as new members. Mr. Boyd will have charge of the legal aid department of the society, the work to be conducted on a comprehensive scale. The Bureau decided to co-operate with the Parent-Teacher associations in the distribution, of clothes and sup plies this year as the Bureau has no storage space at its new quarters in the Courthouse. The Parent-Teachers' distributing station is the old Munici pal Employment office at Fourteenth and Johnson streets. The campaign for the $25,000 will be conducted through personal interviews and letters, the old plan of public ap peal generally pursued in recent years being discontinued. A large committee will be put to work next Monday soliciting funds and making personal appeals. The plan of the campaign will be laid before the public b,y personal interviews and let ters starting today, however. In the first of a series of "Talks to the Public" outlining the plans and purposes of the Public Welfare Bureau, the officials of the organization an nounce the removal to new offices and the change of name of the organiza tion. By moving to the Courthouse a sav ing of JGO in rent has been effected, and a closer co-operation with the county in the handling of social relief work has been secured. The name Associated Charities was abandoned because of the objections that have been made against it by other organizations. BANKER TO WITHDRAW E. I- THOMPSON WILL CHNTER EN ERGIES OX WOOLEN MILLS. Chancres Contemplated by Old-Established Firm Not Announced. New Location Likely. E. L. Thompson, junior partner in the firm of Hartman & Thompson, bankers, real estate dealers and. insur ance agents, will retire from that busi ness about January 1 and devote all his time to the Portland Woolen Mills, of which he is general manager and one of the principal owners. For the last three or four years Mr. Thompson has attended to his duties at the bank and at the woolen mills simultaneously. Recently his physicians ordered him to relinquish one position or the other under pain of a physical breakdown. In reality, he was doing two men's work. "As soon as arrangements can be made at the bank I hope to retire and give all my time to the woolen mill," said Mr. Thompson last night. "No arrangements have been made for Mr. Thompson's successor," said J. L. Hartman, his partner in the bank. It is probable that their associates in the banking business will agree within the next few weeks on the plan to be followed after Mr. Thompson leaves. Coincident with the change in the banking organization it is possible that a change in location wilt be made. The Canadian Bank of Commerce, now at Second and Srark streets, is said to be seeking other quarters and. may occupy the Hartman & Thompson rooms in the Chamber of Commerce building If the latter firm moves. The Portland Woolen Mills, over which Mr. Thompson will have general direction upon leaving the bank, is one of the fastest-growing industries in Portland. It operates a big plant in the northern part of the city in the Peninsula Industrial district, and will do an estimated business of $1,500,000 this year. It has enlarge its plant twice this year and is contemplating additional improvements next year. It employs, approximately, 300 men and women, and sends its products to all parts of the world. It is owned and operated by Portland capital, with Mr. Thompson as manager.

Why this Highly nourishing Food is so Inexpensive THE most economical food is that which, gives most body-building nutriment for every cent you pay. Foods refined by costly processes are really the most expen sive because they lose so much of their essential dark parts containing the body-building protein and saline elements. Dr. Jackson's on a. 11 is an inexpensive food because it is so rich in these precious body-building elements. It is actually better tissue builder than meat. It costs no more than wheat or oats used alone, yet it is so much more nourish ing! Besides, it prevents in digestion and relieves constipa tion without the use of costly drugs, or we return your money. Roman Meal is composed of entire berries of wheat and rye with flaxseed and bran. The flaxseed is rendered absolutely tasteless and odorless by electricity. It is the dark parts of grains that contain the body-building ele ments and health preservers. The white parts are mostly starches which cannot possibly build up tis sue. Any food that is deficient in body nutri ment is dear at any price, especially if it gets you into trouble. When the bowel BoriLSIir Doubted Eoi!srj3 muscles do not act; due to impoverished food, which is also lacking in waste, you have con stipation. Roman Meal is a fully balanced ration, highly nutritious, and having the cor rect amount of waste. It in cites the digestive tract to fu!l natural action erd positively relieves constipation. Ask your doctor. Romas Meal makes the most delicious porridge when you follow directions and do not stir it while cooking. Never stir it except while mixing meal and water or you positively spoil the porridge. Stirring while cooking de stroys the granular form and restores the taste of flax which Dr. Jackson removed by electricity. Roman Meal also makes splendid bread, pancakes, muffins, cakes, etc all kinds of delicious baked products. Atall grocers. m a r o Raman Meal Co..
