Mrs. British House wife makes her purchases for the fam ily table these days with the comfort ing knowledge that no food pirates ere wringing fcxtortionate profits out 'of her family purse- The British governments gradually get t in a stranglehold on the food profiteers- Before long the breed will be utterly extinct. All of which explains why it is to day that England the same England that Germany is trying to make her jieople believe is "beleaguered and be ing starved out" is living comfort- ably, plenteously and, what is more, ehenply. Through a system of fixing of mat imam price which has begun in June with potatoes And beans, the govern meat now controls retail pric es of all ! he principal foods. There are mighty ftremendous jump, if there has been no few British retailers, or middlemen, or governmental control, producers, who dare to attempt profit-i So far England has not tried com eoring against the government.

Just such control is now effective over bread, flour, meat, potatoes, su gar, tea, butter, eheeae, peas, beans and corn and oat products. In connection with such a control system, the .British government itself purchases all imports of the commodi ties administered and distributes these imports through regular commercial channels.

Think Hill Interests Are Back of Railway Silverton, Or., Oct. 22. Mr. Husson, formur chief engineer of the Great Northern railroad; Mr. Williamson, the engineer engaged in running a survey between here and Stayton, and several business men of that city met with the Commercial club and appealed for aid in securing the right of way from Silverton to connect with the right of way between Stayton and the Pratum road. Who was back of the proposed road has been a matter of speculation, but it is understood now that the Hill sys tem is back of the preposition, and it is believed that they intend to take over the Willamette' Valley-Southern and extend the road from Mount Angel to Bend by way of Silverton and Stay ton. ' A committee was appointed to work in conjunction with the engineer to se cure the right of way required. FRENCH DESTROY SEVEN BIG AIRSHIPS ON HOMEWARD FLIGHT This Coup Rouses Storm of Criticism Over English Aircraft Strategy London, Oct. 22. France's coup in destroying or crippling at least seven out of the eight Zeppelins with which it is generally believed the Germans made their raid over London, gave pow erful impetus today to demand for im mediate assumption of an aerial offen sive by England. Many newspapers were unsparing in their criticism of the gov ernment 's failure to start the reprisal program, which, was announced more than three weeks ago. There were indi cations today that this criticism would center within the next few days in a powerful drive for taction through pari UamenU Some pointed questions will undoubtedly .-bo hurled at the govern- inent leaders. " , . ? What' the average Londoner1 cannot understand is why the French should be so extraordinarily successful in bring ing down German aircraft while the sup posedly perfect defense system here fail ed. The incident served to create the most intense irritation in many quarters today because it developed a, belief that the government was not bending every energy toward protection of the people at home. One criticism heard today was that intense rivalry between the B. N. A. S. (naval aviation service) and the B. F. C, (army aviation service) was in jurious and that the announced air min istry 's first task should be toward ob taining co-operation ratner tnan compe tition between th se two branches. Paris dispatches today indicate that tho French bag was of Zeppelins of an entirely new type the dirigibles which for months have been secretly tested out over Lake Constance. Official ttate ments accounted for the destruction or capture of four of these. Two others were officially announced as passing a point in Southern France "out of con trol". A seventh disembarked its wounded and sped away toward Switzer land. Of the last three, private dis patches mentioned one downed near Montigny-le-Boi, another destroyed be- tween Gap and Sisteron (apparently the two which the official statement declar-1 ed were seen out or control; ana a tnira lost and probably destroyed in the Alps.

WHIRLWIND CLOSE? OF LIBERTY BOND CAH) AT FRONT Amount Subscribed by Sol diers la r ranee Will Show Enormous Total (By J; W, Pegler) (United Press Staff Correspondent) American Fiold Headquarters, Oct. 22 Just like "back home" this week is going to see a strenuous finish for the American liberty loan campaign "over here" in France. Civilians in the states who don 't take as many liberty bonds as possible will probably feel pretty small and measly when announcement is made of the great total which America's fighting men, now making ready for the phy sical conflict, have pledged to the fi nancial battle. Next to their war training, Ameri can soldiers today are inspired to their hardest work in a patriotic competition for the liberty loan drive. Everv branch from doughboy to Y. M. C. A. worker, ig represented in the pledges already ootainea. One reason for the tremendous success of the Sammies liberty loan drive was General Pershing's proclamation to his them: "The new liberty loan being floated by the government in support of the war should especially appeal at home to those preparing and to those here to fight. ' ' We as soldiers come from a people who have a privilege such as few gen erations of men have to battle for the right of sacred principles of humanity, with no thought of gain, is an honor, not a sacrifice. ' ' Today wo are given the opportunity to do more than fight. The safest in vestment in the world is offered by the home government for whose inter ests we as soldiers are pledged. Let every officer and man proudly come forward and voluntarily proclaim to the world his abiding faith in our cause, our institutions and our armies and dem onstrate to the people at home and our enemiesabroad the loyalty, patriotism of the American soldiers." Many of Pershing 's Sammies are mak ing monthly bond payments from their pay checks, some retaining for them selves only a few francs for spending money. HOfeE MUNITIONS WOEKS. Petrograd, Oct. 22.

The American people should not lull themselves into a falso senso of security over the lib crtv loan. They must subscribe heavi ly all week. This warning was sounded today by oiricials, inrtont on puttinr "", S?, n 1" M V Un . nt v,.,. k- 40 per cent of this total has bcon tak en; Failure to support the loan to the utmost will give comfort to the enemy, the treasury pointed out, especially in view of Germany's success, after sev eral years of drain on her men and re sources, in floating a seventh loan of over 3,000,000,000. Incidentally, the treasury emphasiz ed that its published figures on loan sales to date have represented exactly what the district reports show- Thero has been no lowering of totals to spur on workers, it was said. For that rea son the nation miiai not regard the loan as a success nntil the last dollar is in on Saturday. Liberty day, Wednesday, a national holiday, is expected to boost sales enor mously. At that time, noted men from all walks of life will preach the loan throughout the nation and everybody will be asked tn buy as much as pos sible. Liberty fires will be lighted Wednesday night. Included in the list of liberty day speakers will be William 3. Bryan, Sec retaries MeAdoo, Baker and Bedfield, ex-President Taft, bpcaker Champ Clark and Attorney General Gregory. Many Gorman American subscrip tions are noted and some of the Teuton American societies are assisting in floating the loan. "Hit the Trail" gays Bandar Oakland CaL, Oct. 22.

SEMHS KILLED BY BROTHER WHILE DUCK HUNTING Receives Charge of Duckshot in Back and Died Seven Hours Later Milwaukee, WiB. Oct. .22. United States Senator Paul O. Husting, acci dentally and fatally wounded at Rush Lake whilo hunting with his brother Gustavo, died at 10:45 Sunday night. The tragedy occurred at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Senator Husting was in a boat ahead of his brother hunt ing ducks. A flock appeared. Tho sena tor called to his brother to shoot. Just as he did so, tho senator rose to a stand ing position and received the full charge in his back. The senator remained conscious after the accident for some time, no was rushed to tho home of C. A. Blackburn, near Pickett, no realized the end was near. Before physicians arrived he was unconscious and died without recognis ing others who were at the bedside. The body was taken to Fon du Lac early today and later will be taken to the senator's home at Mayville, where interment probably wil be mnito. Senator Husting and his brother Gus tavo were rowing in separate boats on Bush lake, the former being just ahead. A flock of ducks appeared and Senator Husting called to his brother to shoot.

GERMAN YOUTH SACRIFICED FOTi CAin.ONTODDER Fully Thirty Per Cent of Re cent Losses of Ypres Comes . from 1917 Classes ONE-THIRD OF THESE BOYS SLAUGHTERED IN BATTLE British and French Make ; Another Onslaught On Hindcnburg Lines By William Philip Bimici With the British Armies in the FieM Oct. (2. About thirty per cent of Hindenbnrg's cannon fodder in the re cent Ypros sector -fighting, nearly one third of those whose mangled bodies carpeted the ground in the British ad vance, or were included in the constant stream of prisoners, were of the 11)17 class of youths. - Nothing could illustrate Germany' waning manpower' more forcibly than, this crowding of . mere boys into thai front ranks. Headquarters figures today showed that of the German total draft of 1917 approximately one half had been mada up of what was really the 1818 class. Thousands of these German boya have been sacrificed in the terrible) British artillery fire. One letter founl in tho pocket of just such a beardless boy soldier declared: " Of my company of 140 men all have been lost except 18 and ..the same ratio applies to my whola regi ment." One boyish German diarist entered! this note: , , ' 'In fonr days the British ' haye smashed seven of our divisions." A raptured battalion commander's report, exhibited today at headquar ters, complains that his own German heavy artillery batteries shelled tho. Gorman lines for twenty minuiies and that two companies had telephoned they were leaving their positions. There is yet another evidence of des peration of the German high command over this drain on its manpower. That is the constant withdrawal of troops from tho Russian front for duty here on the wost. For months the German's have been, shunting troops from the eastern war theater. Now they are brinuinir euna from that section to bol ster up their batteries. Captured docu ments show that many of the pieces smashed in the great Flanders drive have thus been replaced. There is no mistaking the fact that Hindenburg is now giving the Crowa.

"FITT TAKES COiT AFTERGAME FIGHT Greatest of Modern Ring Champions Knocked Out at 2:45 This Morning REFOTJGHT HIS BATTLES. Chicago, Oct. 22. In his de lirium just before he died, Bob Fitzsimmons refought many of his famous battles with noted pugilists. His bouts with Jcffcrics, Cor bctt and Sharkey were the ones he lived over, judging from his frequent mutterings concerning "Jeff", "Jim" and "Tom." Chicago, Oct. 22. Bob Fitzsimmons has taken the last count. The greatest of modern champions succumbed to the champion of all times in Michael Reese hospital at 8:45 this morning. The "knockout" followed a losing; fight of five days against pneumonia. At no time was the former heavyweight king conceded even a chance for life, but he alone refused to give up and practically his last words were: "I'm not through until I'm counted out; I never hava quit and I never will". Fitzsimmons' wife, Mrs. Tina Fitz simmons, who had been his chief "sec ond" throughout his game fight, was at the "ringside" when the end came.
