German Miis-iecU-d Attack.
Indications are that the Germans
early were aware thnt trouble was im-
pending us about 4 a. m. a large num-
ber of gas shells were fired by them
along tho Britishfront.
Tho main enemy today wus not the
German hut the mud. -The -German
were far less formidable than previous-
ly owing to the disorganization occas-
ioned among them by the recent terrlf-
flc blows of the Rritlsh.
The corressindent yesterday spoke to
Held Marshal Halff. who doe not con-
fine himself to headquarters. The field
marshal paid the highest tribute to his
men for their gallant work in the bad
weather.
WAS EARLY ATTACK.
London Oct. 12. The Ilritish troops
In Flanders attacked the Germans this
morning on a front of about stx miles
northeast of Ypres. They are reported
to be making satisfactory progress.
' Rain fell heavily during last night.
The official report''totlay from Field
Marshal Haig from field headquarters
follows: I
"We attacked at 5:20 o'clock this
morning on a front of about six miles
northeast of Ypres. Our troops are re
ported to le making satisfactory pro
gress. Rain fell heavily during the
night."
Field Marshal lluig's latest effort
iu lH-lng pushed in the same region lis
the att:ick of Tuesday In which the
British in co-operation with the French
drove back the 'Germiins along a front
jf seven miles and captured more thun
2000 prisoners.
It is probable that the present effort
Is an attempt to clear the Germans from
the remaining portions f the dominant
ridgii east of Ypres. Tuesday's attack
yave the Ilritish mo-e g.'ound on the
ridge and left the Germans with only a
small section in the region of- l'ass-
chendaele. The British now hold most of the good
positions on the ridue from which they
dominate with their artillery the im-
portant Roulers-Mciiin lallroml and the
railroad towns of Routers Staden and
Menin.
Apparently the piesent drive is being
made under weather conditions similar
to that which existed Tuesday. Fol-
lowing several days of heavy rain Field
Marshal Haig threw his men forward
nd surprised the Germans who did-
not think that the Rritiili would at-
tempt to attack while the battlefield
was waterlogged.
BRITISH STEAM ROIXER IS
i NOW GOING DOWN IIIIX
Battlr Are Following Each Othr More
anil More RapkOj.
"The Ilritish steam roller goes up hill
very slowly but it is now going down
hill and battles are following each other
nore and more rapidly" said Major
fleneral Maurice director of operations
at the Ilritish war office yesterday.
Tho truth of this assertion was driven
home less than 24 hours after It was
made by the beginning this morning
f another liritish nttack in Flanders.
Only three days had elapsed since the
last attack made Tuesday.
Tuesday's push was launched after
a four-day pause the last previous drive
having been carried out the preceding
Thursday. Previously intervals of a
week or more had elapsed between the
British attacks.
Good lrgres Early.
Good progress was reported early by
Field Marshal Haig along the six-mile
'ront northeast of Ypres on wbk-h to-
lay' assault is being delivered. Ap
parently the objective is the remainder
of the ridge commanding the Flanders
plain over which dominant points the
liritish have already passed and are
driving downward.
A notshle fact in connection with
the present scries of drives is that each
la now apparently being mnde. regard-
less of weather conditions. One good
day for airplans observation was enough
for the Urltish in this Instance to get
their ran pes. launch their drumfire drr
their barrage and push to the attacV

'tor Hoover.
rians to control bread production and
distribution already are under consid
eration -and will be put into operation
a soon as bread baking experiment
now being conducted in several cities
are completed.
Municipal bread depots will be- pro-
vided If it is found that retailer can-
not be controlled under a voluntary ar-
rangement. Standard Bread Sought.
The baking Industry was left out of
the general food control to be put into
effect on November 1. Before taking
any steps to deal with the industry the
food administration wishes first to
standardize baking flour; second to
standardize bread Ingredient and third.
to standardize either the alze of the
loaf or the price.
The bread content will be established
on the basis of facts disclosed in the
expeiiments under way. It Is hoped
to establish a standard bread contain
ing the same amount of lard milk and
other ingredients. FIourwlll be utand-
ardized through the co-o-teratloti of
miller. " - -i
In further standardization the food
administration still I in doubt as to
whether it will be best to etsabllsh a
definite sized loaf or to establish a dcf-.
Inlte price with the size varying.
Two NMnt m Plan;
If the size of the loaf is standardized
Mr. Hoover believes prices can be kent
down through competition and if the
price on the other hand Is stabilized he
believes comietttion will to some extent
keep the bIzo of the loaf from being
reduced.
If a licensing system is nut into ef.
feet it cannot lie made to apply under
the food control act to retailers jind the
price will be for bred at the baker v
door. The plan for bread depots will
be put into effect however. If retail-
ers refuse to cooperate In holding
prices down.
