Fight for Fresnoy, Gontinu^ Unabated

W as Recaptured by Germans on Tuesday—Both Sides D eter­m ined to H ave Possession

t

LO N D O N , May 9. — Tlia sanguinary battle between tlie British and Germans for the pos­session of the village of Fresnoy goes on /ap p a ren tly w ithout abatem ent.' I t 'i s a battle of des­peration on the part of the Ger­mans, who see, in the loss of the village, a double menace, placing in jeopardy their entire line north, especially the town of Lens and its adjacent coal fields, and a deeply projecting salient into their lines which would vir­tually put the British a t tlie threshold of Cambrai. l'h.e exact situation in the “ L ittle” village, which was again recaptured by the Germans on Tuesday after a

•i: stubborn defense by the Cana­dians, is som ewhat obstructed. The British W ar Office asserts that Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria’s men m et with a reverse west of the village on Tuesday night dur- ing a counter attack, while un­official advices are to the effect that the Germans have been ex­pelled from the greater portion of the village, but are still hold­ing out, although barely able to_ m aintain themselves against the stubborn onslaught of the Cana­dians.

LO N D O N , May 9. — In the House of Commons, today, Andrew Bonar Law, the chan­cellor, referring to the west front, said that the rapidity of our attack had forestalled the enemy, who had to fight in the open with heavy losses because they had no tim e to prepare trenches. Since April I, British forces had taken 20.000 prisoners) 257. guns and 227 trench m otats. W hile in the first four days of the Somme drive we had advanced three and. one half-miles on a six mile front, we had now advanced from two to five miles on a 2 0 - mile iro n t, where there were' twice as m any German divisions against us as there had been on the Somme when half of ithem had to be w ithdraw n.^ In spite of all this, our casualties in the present offensive were from 50 to 75 per cent, less than they had been on the Somme. O ur suc­cesses were largely due to our distinct artillery superiority, in connection w ith which the Chan-^ cellor paid warm tribu te to the flying corps. ,

Russia M a y Form aCoalition Ministry

PE T R O G R A D , May 9.—The Russian governm ent today issued a declaration in favor of a coali­tion m inistry. M inister of Ju s­tice Kerensky has sen t letter to the D um a's committee of soldiers, to the w orkm en’s council and to the socialist^ party, inviting these representatives of democracy to share in .the burden of power.

The women of Kcdowiiii arc assuredly rising to the occasion in the matter of registering their names upon the provincial voters’ lists. Election commissioners and officials and others entitled to take the affi davits of the applicants have becii kei>t busy filling up the blue forms and sending them up to Vernon, Quite a number of ladies appear to think that if they sign the application form before a commissioner belong ing to either party they will be under a certain amount of indebtedness to that party and they have, diercforc, chosen wliat they evidently take to he an absolutely neutral course and have signed their names bcfppd tho City Clerk.

Two more clear working days re­main for the purpose of registration in Kelowna, as applications must be in Vernon by Monday, the 14th, which is positively the last day upon which admission to the voFcrs'^lRt by the June Court of RevisipO' will be possible. Applications reaching V'ernon by the 15th will be of less use than if they had been left un­filled. Q^ite a number pf people lave the blue forms, and included among them are Commissioners Mrs. L. V. Rogers, Mrs. W. B. M. Caldjer, and Miss Date Leckie, all of whom can. vvitness the applications. Appli­cations can also be signed before the Mayor, any of thp aldermen, the police magistrate, the City Clerk, a provincial constable, or Messrs'. L. V. Rogers, Geo. McKenzie, Wt' M. Trench, A. . W. Hamilton, Manly Byrns, ,

Latest reports from the .Libei^l women workers would seem 'to it»- dicate that their work has Been attended by a considerable amount, of success. While there may be a 'sp|rjt of rivalry between their sister Conser­vative commissioners nothing is said, and they both go about their business in a quiet, methodical way, making their chief object the procur­ing of as many applicatioiis as pos­sible irrespective of probable politi cal cr<ed.

American Line ShipFired a t Submarine

N E W Y O RK , May 9.—An amied. American Line passenger ship which arrived here tonight, according to the Associated Press, reports firing six shots at a German subm arine off the coast of Ireland. T he subm arine dis­appeared a t .the first shot, but it could not be said w hether she was hit.

Pendozi Street Bridge is o| eii to the public again, and a rv ‘.'cai's which may have been felt re.gtitld- ing the safety of the old st' uctuiv arc certainly dispelled.by the fir .i and solidly coh.struclcd lictv bridge, in which Aid. J, M. l iar vey has creditably couibmed strength with cconAiny. T ik; heavy planking of tlie bri.dgc rests on huge tim bers 14 inches square, and these arc again sup­ported by a large num ber of sturdy piles driven deeply into the bed of the stream.

T he.central and largest span is, now, only 25 feet, and the. 14-inch beams supporting this are nine in number. Seven of these arc squared tim bers and the other two are sound and green logs. In each of the. sm aller side spans there are eight of these beams. The sills upon which these Vest, are supported by the pile.s,Which are eight to every sill, so that the bridge is practically as solid a.s a rock and should be good • for eight or ten years to come. All signs of dry rot wCre cut away- from the old tim bers which have been used, and all such cuts and ends have been covered' -With a liberal coating of tar. The bridge is so firm that the old and some-

, wh<)t .unsightly cahtil§ver erec­tion has been dispense^ with, and with the exception of. the level- • ling of the approaches the bridge is finished. ,

The g rea t..te s t of the bridge will, of course, be when . high w;ater comes in the creek, in d owing to the long vvinter .and sudden jum p to hot w eather there - is every reason to believe th a t the creek will, this yeaf, be higher than usual. T he bridge' wa.s given quite a test, hdweverV ju.st upon its completion, when a. big seven ton gasoline'tractor. passed over it. W ith the tim bers of such proportions, however, the bridge shoqld carry a railway locomotive providing the founda­tions of the piles in the sand be­neath the creek bed could main­tain their positions.

Dr. Mackenzie further said tha t he had got the money and placed ii; for safe keeping in the Hotel V an­couver over night.

Just precisely what Aid. Buck and Engineer McMillan did to the fire syren when they recently overhauled it is not known, but whatever they did to it, the job was certainly done, all right, as was proved by the ear- splitting shrieks last Friday after­noon. On the other hand, there is no fouhda’tion for the report that the syreii was heard by the people at Penticton, as there is no foundation to hand really proving that the sound travelled beyond Naramata.

» , *Now that the syren is in condition,

so that its musical note can sweetly break upon the hearing of even the soundest of Kelovvna sleepers, com­plaints from citizens of its loud and nerve racking tone are eagerly await­ed by the City and fire brigade officials.

♦ ♦ ♦High as are the prices of potatoes

and onions and scarce though money may be in the treasury of a little country paper, the Kelowna Courier has.not yet reached the apparent state of "Col.” Lowery’s famous Green­wood “Ledge,” which is running a notice in its paper stating “We take potatoes for subscriptions when cash is not available. About 20 pounds of good onions also will not be turned dwn for a year’s sub.” As the “Ledge” sells for $2 a year, onions are apparently worth $10 a sack in Greenwood.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

We begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,

But the plural of ox should be oxen not oxes.

Then one fowl is goose, but two are called geese.

Yet the plural of mouse should never be meese;

You may find a lone mouse, or a ' whole nest of mice.

But the plural of house, is houses, not hice;

If th t plural of man is always called - men.

Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?

The plural of covv was formerly kinc. But the plural of vow is vows, not

vine.If I speak of a foot, and you show me

your feet.And I give a boot, would-a pair be- called beet?

If. the singular’s this and the plural is these, * ^

Should the plural of kiss be nick­named cheese?

Then one may be that and three may be those.

Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,

\ And the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother, and also of

brethren.But although we say mother we never

, say methren.The masculine pronouns are he, his.

The ICditor, Kelowna Courier;,Si,-,_As a United Empire Loyalist

and one deeply interested in the good name of Kelowna as a loyal pait of Uie Empire, I cannot allow the reso­lution of the City Council, passed at their la.st meeting, criticizing recruit­ing to pass unnoticed as 1 feel sure that such a motion will be certain to injure us in the eyes of the rest of Canada and very possibly hurt the feelings of our men at the I'roiit, who will think we have forgotten flicin.

As regards young boys, I have made careful enijuiry, and find only one case, and that under special cir­cumstances fully warranted, 1 can­not say as to men over age, but I do know that at the present critical stage of the war every man is needed o.v,er or uii! |er age, an oft-repeated statement, but, in the face of the doubtful attitude of our ally Russia, and , the lamentable state of unpre- paredness of the United States, the statement is more apparent thanever. '

It has been said (I hope incorrect­ly) that the majority of our Council are Pacifists, but even so, men in their position are expected to leave their personal opinions at home, and at a lime of stress such as this to co-operate with their neighbours in finishing this horrible war. The men engaged in beating the Germans are the real lovers of peace, and the least we unhappy stay-at-homes can do is to further reccuitin/f and to help take care of the recruits’', families during their absence.

I would humbly .suggest as an antidote to this ill-timed resolution that the council pass a vote of thanks to the Militia Department for being good enough to again recognize Kelowna by establishing a; half com­pany of Foresters here under the command of one of our ratepayers, and promising their hearty co-opera­tion in the good work of recruiting.

Our Civic Solons can have no ob­jections to the Foresters, as they are non-combatants and one of the most useful of army organizations.

As far as the employment question is concerned, it can be solved bythose of us w)ho must . home, shaking off the Okanagan in­ertia and working twice as hard as we did in normal times, thus releasing one man for the army. I would also suggest that all meetings (Council included^ be held in the evening, aixd every day be devoted to work. “Deeds not Words.”

1 am sorry for having taken so much space, but as your readers know to their sOTrow I have always taken a deep interest in recruiting, extending back before the war ( and that must be my excuse for ■ taking up. your valuable space.

Yours, etc.,R. E. DENISON.

Cause o f S o ft B u tterDue to spring Change in Butter Fat

Itself

It is a Common belief that soft but­ter in spring is due to the large amount of water in the new grass. Some feeders have even gone so far as to cut down on the amount of water allowed in this season, thinking it would improve the product. The fact of the matter is, the water has no effect on the condition of the but­ter, but the change is due to the butter-fat itself.

Bufterfat is composed of two kinds, of fats known as volatile and non­volatile. Each of these in turn is made up of a number of substances called fatty acids, but which for con­venience we will speak of as oils.

The non-volatile oils are six, and their relative amounts in the butter- fat largely cause the variation in hardness and softness of the butter. The most important of these oils is olein, since it has been found to be present in the greatest proportion during spring when the cows arc on grass. Olein has a much lower melt­ing point than the. other oils, and consequently an increase in its amount causes the butter K) melt at a much lower-temperature. Wt can readily see the cause of soft bnttir in the spring is not the water in the, grass. In fall or winter, when nor­mal feeds are given, the percentage of olein is less, the melting point is higher, and we have a firmer, harder product from the churn.

Cutting down on the cow’s water supply, because the grass is sdft, docs not make the blitter harder; it only cuts down on the amount of milk your herd can produce.

Members and guests of the Kel­owna Women’s Institute to the num­ber of 104, met last Saturday to hear Mrs. Davis, of Naramata, talk on the candying of cherries, apricots, green­gages and many other fruits. The process outlined by Mrs. Davis was not a difficult one, but the results, as evidenced by the samples ex-, hibited, commended themselves to all thrifty housewives as an excellent method of treating fruit.

Other items on the programme of the day were the reading of current events by Mrs. Matliison. and a yocal solo by Mrs. Harvey, accompanied on the piano by Miss 'Denison, The Growers’ Aid committee reported a registration of 15. The collection for the .adopted prisoner of war amounted to $10.20. Five new names'^ were added to the membership of the In­stitute, which now stands at 181. A vote of thanks to Mrs. Davis for her i^iteresting and informing address was moved by Mrs. Meikle and sec­onded by Mrs. Matliison and carried with hearty accord. During her stay in Kelovirnii, Mrs. Davis was -the guest of Mrs. L. V. Rogers.

Agdinst New TaxationAlso Makes Enquiries Regarding

Assistance to Farmers and the C. N. R.*

Towards the end of the discussion in the provincial hodse on the budget, on Wednesday Of last week, Mr. J. W. Jones, the Conservative mem|)er for .South 'Okanagan, expressed his regret that, in spite of heavier federal taxation and a soaring cost of living month by month, witii wages un­changed, the Government should im­pose new taxes to the amonnt of $4,000,000. The Government had not given careful consideration to the

Increased Production. Is an Impera­tive Necessity in These Times

As the time, for sowing fodder com is at hand a few remarks on silos may

• be seasonable. There are now in the I Kelowna district 22 silos and they [ appear'to be considered a paying in-

Ivestnient as witness the statement by users that another silo will be added for a summer supply of silage as soon as funds permit. The dry fall and long harsh- winter and spring have been particularly hard on milk cows and it is~ ^ ly —the few—who have had a plentiful supply of silage who have had really satisfactory re­turns from their herds.

For locally constructed silos, the general consensus of opinion seems to be that a light concrete foundation pays better than a wooden founda­tion; that stave silos should be tongued and grooved; and that paint­ing the wood to preserve it and to prevent it drying out is a good in­vestment.

The following local, costs of grow­ing corn to fill a 42-ton silo may be of interest. The figures include, cost of refilliitg after settling: Preparingand ( 2 ^ acres) and . seeding, $8.50: seed at 7c per lb., $5.35; horse cultiva­tion, $13.25; hand cultivation, $25.98; cutting crop, $9.00; hauling, horse labor, $21.50; hauling and filling, hand labor, $19.40; filling machine and power. $8.00; total, $110.98. From this it will be seen that the cost of corn silage comes to approximately $i65 per ton. With reference to the figures given above, team and teamster have been charged at $5.00 per day and hand labour at 20 cents per hour. The hand cultivation cost given above was excessive, because in the case quoted from the land was dirty, the weeds having got ahead by reason of labour shortage. The crop was * grown on heavy bottom land with much alkali in places. No irri­gation was necessary.. The local Farmers’ Institute has

on hand a most complete bulletin on silo construction, copies of which can be had free upon application..

Every family in Kelowna should have its own garden this year. - To do so will be to release supplies for the armies that are fighting for brotherhood and peace.

To hasten the close of the war we must feed the people in the armies. The farmers are ■ doing everything possible and the people of the towns should assist by avoiding waste and extravagance. They should make gardens not only in their backyards, but in their front yards as well, and on vacant lots. They should organ­ize garden clubs, including women and children, and grow enough to supply their needs not only through the summer, but through the winter. They can do this by intensive efforts.

PREVENT BIG BLAZE ONRICHTER STREET

Mr. Allen Wilson’s Residence Has Close Call

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, thirty days after the publication of this notice, the Lieutenant-Gover- nor-in-Council will proceed to com­ply with the application, unless with­in the said time pbjection is made by eight proprietors within such pro­posed pound district, in Form A. of the Schedule to the said Act, to the undersigned.

JOHN OLIVER.Minister of Agriculture.

At aoout 4.30 last Friday afternoon, the Fire Brigade received a cajl to the home of. Mr. Allen Wilson, on Richter Street, just north of the Public School, where a fire was just beginning to get a good start in the kitchen. The usual prompt response and fast run enabled the blaze to be quenched with a liberal dose of chem­ical and without the aid of water. The damage consistftd chiefly of burnt clothing, scorched paint, and also some damage to the inside of the rear wall.

The fire originated through Gordon Wilson, who was melting rubber, throwing into the kindling box beside the stove a match which he believed to be out; The match, ..however, set fire to the contents of the box, and, flaming up, speedily caught a quan­tity df clothing which was airing on some clothes’ arms just above, from which point it spread to the rear wall, and but for the timely arrival of the brigade would undoubtedly have caused a serious fire as the . dwelling is of large proportions.

GOOD RACING PLAYIN PICTURES TUESDAY

Praises be, the laws against horse racing—that sport of. kings—have not yet engulfed the movies. No one ever saw a better race, with a closer finish, either on the track or on the screen, than that of Atta Boy, run with a last-minute, pick-up jockey and against a pocket that had been framed by his owner’s enemies.

The Triangle-Fine Arts Studio, in this five reel photodrama “Atta'Boy’s Last Race,” has given to filmdom one race that IS a race. Naturally, the hero of the play is going to win— Shucks! what kind of a-play would it be if the ravy deal was going to get by? But even after you have been told that he is going to win, you kind of doubt it fight up to the last second of the 24 seconds flat that it takes to run the quarter.

“Atta Boy’s Last Race” is to he shown at the Kelowna Theatre next Tuesday evening. .

The corps , did oxtreme- ly well on the Somine, and the old division Just a little more than its share. We had the unique distinction of going In three times. It was a great compliment. As long, as there is a man left, the old division still has a fight In It. Our men do not whimper and do not quit.

“We fully expect that next year will see some hard and fierce fighting, for the old Boche is by no means licked. It always annoys me to read in our. papers that the German morale is very low, that the German^soldler is so sick of fighting that he surrenders at the first opportunity. Such stuff is all balderdash-. You’d , think we bad nothing, to do but go overhand they would hold up their hands. AIL rot, any that we haVh been opposite have always ^been ready for a fight ’ though we’ve licked them every time we have come to grips.

GERMANS SHOULD ENVY

Dieting le ffuhland—Gaiety In London Hotels

The luncheon tables were crowded a t the Savoy Hotel and there were the usual brilliant dinner parties in the grill room and the restaurant. The menu here offered an amazing variety of rich dishes. At restaur­ants like the Trocadero the 'quests had to push their way through 'the crowd that choked up the vestibule. An orchestra was , playing lively music and the whole, atmosphere was one that reflected a dazzling prosper­ity. Here there was > not. ..so much champagne as at the Criterion, but there were other rich wines in plenty^ as well as liqueurs. — '

At . the CrlterlUn there were cham­pagne bottles In profusion—- In fact more there than anywhere. No empty seats could be seen at the Monlco, and there was Just the same scene of feasting, Nearly all the men at Romano’s were In khaki, and this restaurant was also full. In another of the largest hotels over 400 cus­tomers were served with six-course dinners at from 7s 6d. a head.

By way of contrast to these scenes the ne-wspapers published the German food rations -which for one week fol­low: Meat, 8 ^ ounces; bread,.4 lbs.; potatoes, 6 Ibs.;^ butter, 2 ounces; eggs, 2; sugar . % lbs.; rice, 3% ounces; barley,: 8% ounces; margotv Ine, 1 ounce.

In making this claim, hovvever, the usual claims ,of sanguinary losses inflicted are lacking in the statement from the German war office. •'. Wednesday saw. the return of unfavourable .w^^^her, along the Anglo-German front, and except around Freshoy-^th^ fighting was mainly by means of artillery. In the meantime, the French have been busy consolidating their positions captured from the Ger­

mans in Tuesday’s fighting hear Chesvreux, repulsing counter­attacks and . engaging in artillery duels with the Germans, North­west of Rheims, in the single in­stance where the infantry left their trenches, the French attack­ed and captured the German posi­tions on a front of more than 400 yards and brought back 100 pris­oners.

Although the fighting along the Arras front has been de­scribed as-^the most violent dur­ing the war, the announcement has been made in the Commons that the British .casualties are from 50 to 75 per cent, fewer than thdse suffered in the battle of the Somme.

Like Training In ReserveThe following, communique -.has

been received from the Oahadlan War Records Office: “A gret feature.In the life of the men at the front Is the training which they carry out when In reserve. There are a vigor and purpose about this training -which are quite remarkable. Men who have faced the enemy in battle appear to realize what training will mean to them and by this training, the pur­pose of -which Is constantly In the minds of all, the pure seeds of vic­tory are being sown.”
