DEPENDING ON U. S. FOR FOOD SUPPLY (Continued from Page One) accept a separate peace." All dispatches emphasized the wide split between the two socialist factions -the Sclieidemann branch | now devoting Its energies to peace work; and the minority faction, now concentrating on demand for demo cratizlng of Germany's government and on furthering the general strike. There has been a great influx of Germans to’ Copenhagen recently ami the American legation lias been extremely busy in anti-spy work. A number of German spies have been discovered here, trying to go to America. IBy Henry Wood, United Press Stall Correspondent) With tlie French armies in the field I April 23— (Special to Daily Democrat —Germany has just gone through the most disastrous week for her in tlie history of tlie war. Today, on tlie week's anniversary of the great French drive, tlie French army staff permits me to say that the coming seven days, are likely to ;>i fold more clearly the nature of the Franco-British offensive. Tlie fighting wliiili is now in progress is of tremendously vital importance. Since Monday a week, when the great French offensive began. Gener ■al N'ivelle's forces have accomplis aid this: Capture of more than 100 guns from the Germans. "Taking of 20,000 German prisoners. Occupation of 20 large villages —u-'t including hamlets. Retaking of about 50-square miles of French territory. Inflicted losses in killed, wounded and missing on the Germans, conservatively estimated at 100.000. Two great battles were raging loday. One is along the Chemin des Dames —the Indies’ road —dominating Laon and the plateau: the other around Moronvillers heights, dominating the northern Champagne plains. Although the French attacks are against the two strongest position lield by the Germans on tue entire western front. General Nivelle's w r. have already won strong footholds Moreover they were enlarging these footholds. The fighting which was in progress today supercedes in importance any actions on the entire western front. At any moment newer and more important situations may lie created. While the German disaster of ’he past week has been tremendous, nevertheless the week’s fighting is only the first stage of an entire action planned by tlie French. The Aisne-Chanip; gn frone comprises only one portion cf the great Franco-British offensive That offensive now extends over at least 125 miles. Every ops ratios undertaken on the vast front is int r related. o Thrift Thought. Get the thrift habit— tlie broad thrift habit, now; practice it thoughtfully: waste not the little things ; find the joy that a growing bank account brings: invest your savings safely and profitably ; remember tomorrow but forget not today; spend for the things that last and find the secret of the broader thrift that makes for better living. It is the only thrift worth while. To Cu-e a Cold. Remove the seeds of one medium size grapefruit, put the pulp into one quart of cold water, and boil slowly until it is reduced to one (lint. Strain and sweeten to taste. Daink one-hall the quantity hot just after retiring at night and the remainder cold in tin morning. Repeat the second night il necessary. • Copper in Ancient Days Copper, among the ancient Hebrews, was used in making helmets, spears and other implements of war. The expression “bow of steel.” found in Job, should be rendered “bow of copper.' Copjier could not have been applied to tiles,- uses without the artisans possessing some forgotten secret for r » tiering the metal harder anti more elasti? than we. can make it today. T he Average Way. One trouble with the country is the way so many of our young men fee) that there’s no chance to get to the top in this era of combination, consolidation and oig business, and-so contentedly settle down to <lo. as little work as possible.—Ohio State Journal.

Bodily Housekeeping (BY SAMUEL HAMILTON, M. D.)| The subject of drinking water witt meals has been misunderstood.
