Canadian Headquarters In France, Aug. 20.—Northwest of Lens, amidst the trenches and railway cuttings which fo'rm the last line of Gerifian defense in that quarter, the Canadians have succeeded in establishing strong posts in a special trench which was the scene of desperate and indecisive fighting two days ago. These new posts give command of the last bit of ground from which the defenders of the city could overlook the advance from the west. They are now in a hollow all around the front which swings about Lens in semloir cular form. The eastern exits from the city are now subjected to a constant and har assing fire of the artillery and ma chine guns. This makes the bringing up of provisions and supplies of am munition very difficult. At 2 o'clock this morning a trench raid on the enemy's front northwest of Avion re sulted in heavy fighting in the course of which a considerable number of tbe enemy were killed in hand-to hand lighting.

Pomeroy & Stewart —Basement MEAT SUPPLY IS THREATENED [Continued from First Page.] this country, while the world supply was diminished by 64,500,000. Hogs increased 6,275,000 In America, but the general supply decreased 32,. 425,000. Large Exports During the year ending June 30, 1916, America exported 1,339 193,- 000 pounds of meat as compared with a three year antebellum aver age of 493,848,000 pounds. These exports went chiefly to the allies, whose capital stock of animals has decreased 33,000,000 head. "Althoußh the European countries have drastically reduced meat con sumption among war workers'," says the statement, "this saving has been overcome by the greatly increased demands to supply men in the armies and shops, and women who have taken up physical labor. Millions of individuals to whom fresh meat twice a week was a luxury, are now, by necessity of their extreme physi cal labors, eating it twice daily. Supply Jcopnrdi/.cd "The war has injected into an already difficult situation a number of conditions which are jeopardizing the ultimate animal products supply of the world. The production of fodder In Europe has been dimin ished by the diversion of productive labor to war and its Import has been curtailed by shortage in shipping And by the isolation of markets by belligerent lines. "The problem facing America is not only one of supplying the im mediate demand of the allies, but one which is more farreaching in its significance. As the war goes on the. j will be a constant lessening of the capital stock of the world's food animals. Among our western states the demand outruns every day . the decreasing production, and as ship ping becomes further shortened by submarine destruction, further de struction of the herds must ensue." The food administration points out that the only immediate solution of the problem lies in reduction of consumption and elimination of waste.

L'se McNeil's Pain Exterminator—Ad U. S. PLANS FOR WORLD'S BIGGEST DESTROYER FLEET [Continued from First l'agc.] destroyers the builders could produce would be ordered. Every effort of the department will be made to speed up on the large number of contracts now pending. Every aspect of shipbuilding that i bears upon destroyer production was | taken up at the conference. There is ' no shortage of material or plant fa cilities but a difficulty lies in obtain- I ing- high power engines, boilers and reduction gear. Secretary Daniels said no addi tional submarine chasers would he ordered at present. The chasers are valuable for harbor and in in-shore patrol work, but the destroyers arfc far superior even lor these duties and have In addition seagoing quali j lies which make them of far greater I value In all ways than the small j chaser. Plan For Engines Every suggestion that the ship or | engine builders had to make to-day j as to additional motive power tot' i the destroyers was given close atten- I tion. The possibility of making somo i of the new vessels with oil engines was among the suggestions offered. As to the plants at which the new destroyers will be laid down. Secre tary Daniels said, he favored ex pansion of the plants now building destroyers as the most efficient means of speeding up. Experience gained in previous building will enable such plants to turn out new ships more quickly, it is felt, than would be pos sible for a new plant lacking that experience. Secretary Daniels' decision shows that the officers who have been con tending that the best answer to the U-boats was to turn out an enor mous number of destroyers have car ried their point. The experience of all allied navies that the destroyer is more deadly to submarines than any other type of craft, is borne out by reports from Vice-Admiral Sims, founded on the actual experience of American destroyers in European waters. Another aspect is the problem of furnishing convoys to troop and supply ships, which will grow as American forces in France are in creased. Many officers now believe that destroyer convoys guarantee a large degree of security from sub marine attack. The thing needed, in their view. Is an adequate number of destroyers to make certain that sup ply lines are not interrupted. The department apparently has approved this view. No figures have ever been made public of the number of destroyers now building. Secretary Daniels said to-day, however, that they represent the maximum capacity of the coun try as to the builders and engine and boilermakers are at present equip ped. To expand that capacity will require the expansion of every exist ing plant and the addition of new engine and boiler works. Draft Board Members Tried for Bribery Charge By Associated Press New York.

J. TRAFFIC OFFICER. RECOVERS HEALTH "Tanlac is certainly the finest remedy on the market for stomach troubles," says Harry J. Winower, the well-known and popular traffic officer stationed at Queen and Chest nut streets, Lancaster, Pa., "for it. pulled me back to health when I was in mightiy bad shape and did it quick too." When seen at liis home, 27 W. Charlotte street, Officer Winower said, "Aly stomach was in terrible shape, nothing I ate agreed with mo and many times when 1 tried to eat I would gag and vomit everything up again. "I haven't eaten any breakfast in years but used to go on duty with an empty stomach which made me feel weak and 1 didn't have the am bition I should have had. "I slept poorly too and would wake up feeling tired and completely drag ged out and I was constipated that 1 had to be continually taking strong cathartics and this weakened me still further. "X became interested in Tanlac first because so many people asked me to direct them to the Tanlac store and there were so m'any of them that I got the idea it would help me. I asked a lot of people about Tanlac and they were all so enthusiastic that I was convinced that it would help me. "I went and had a talk with the Tanlac man and what he told me was so convincing that I started tak ing this remarkable medicine. "Now I am hungry for breakfast when 1 get up. I can cat and enjoy my meals, 1 sleep fine and wake up fresh and rested and full of energy and ambition. "Tanlac has done wonders for me and I shall recommend it at every opportunity."
