LATEST WAR NEWS. (News and Observer, 26.) The great double German drive, in the Somme and Armentieres sectors, which began Wednesday morning, has developed into a terrific struggle. The tide of battle has surged to and fro during the last two days, with the decision still in the balance. The British, having been forced back out of Villers-Bretonneux, launched a ( counter-attack and swept the Ger mans back almost to the lines which i were held before the present fighting ' began. The French have been driven ' back out of a Hangard-En-Santerre, J but are holding their positions close , by, while on the line southwest of i Ypres, the British have been compelled ' to withdraw slightly before furious attacks along the Meteren-Bailleul Wvschaete line. ! Wounded Americans are arriving at ] u hospital behind the French lines in | the Sfcmme sector, showing that 1 General Pershing's men are bearing their share of the burden of the greatbattle. Notwithstanding the frantic prepa- j rations made by the Germans for a I continuance of their drive toward ' Amiens and the extreme violence of ' the fighting, their gains thus far in that region have been very small. # Along the line from Albert south to Castel, except at Hangard-En-San terre, the German assaults have been ' hurled back by the allied forces, which are strongly posted on the higher ground to which they retired during the last days of the German drive in Picardy.

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED ?TOBACCO TASTES BETTER TOASTED Since the day of the caveman, who liked his meat raw, civilization has learned a lot about the scientific treat ment of the things we eat Naturally none of us would now prefer to have our meat raw, our po tatoes as they come from the ground, our coffee unroasted. And naturally follows the great dis covery recently made by The Ameri can Tobacco Co. ? that tobacco tastes bi tier TOASTED! This wonderful new idea? simple like all great inventions ? was first used in producing the famous LUCKY STRIKE Cigarette ? made of toasted Burley tobacco. Burley has a mellow flavor, entirely different from the tobacco usually used for cigarettes.
