GERMAN ARMIES SUFFER
ANOTHER CUT IN RATIONS
Two Meatless Days Each Week and
Rice Has Been Replaced by
Dry Turnips.

London, June 2.-The conditions as
to food supplies in Germany may be
conjectured from the fact that 1t is
now definitely settled that the best
fed of the German fighting units sub
sist on a ration which equals only
three-ifths in weight and value that
which is issued to the British troops.
Since a year ago the German SOL
diers' bread allowance has been cut
down one-third. The greater part of
this reduction has occurred during the
last eight months
There are now two meatless days a
week in the German trenches. Even
the indispensable sausage allowance
has been cut down to two and three
quarters n daily.
Rice has been eliminated entirely,
being replaced by dry turnips.

In Champagne Region-French
Regain Old Positions.

London, June 2. - Virtual inaction
prevails on all the war fronts. In only
one theater has there been anything
worthy of note. This was in the Cham
payne region of France, where the
French, counter-attacking heavily
against positions northeast of Mont
Haul, captured Wednesday night by
the Germans, drove out the Teutons
Thursday and re-estabiished their for
mer front in it's entirety.
To the west, between Scissors and
Rheims, there has been a continuation
Of the spirited artillery duels on vari-
Gus sectors, notably Vauxillon and
Laffaux, and south of Berry-au-Bac
the Germans for the first time in sew
eral months carried out a sapping op-
Grafton. This netted them portions of
trenches which were blown up.

surance, because, knowing how the
men Of America have responded to
the call of liberty there is perfect as
surance that the new response will
come again in equal measure, with
equal majesty"

The time for action, he said came,
"and in the providence of God, Amer
lea will come once more to have an
opportunity to show to the world that
she was born to serve mankind"
World War an American Struggle.
when you reflect upon it these men
who died to preserve the union, died
to preserve the instrument which we
are now using to serve the world-a
free nation espousing the cause Of
human liberty. In n sense the great
struggle into which we have now en-
tered Is an American struggle, because
1t Is in the sense of American honor
and American rights, but it is some
thing even greater than that: it is a
world struggle. 1t is a struggle of
men who love liberty everywhere and
in this cause America will show her
self greater than ever because she
will rise to a greater thing"
