The British front in Flanders is again

day morning. Berlin reports Several
times of late there have been indica-
tons that an attack was about to be

British, but none of moment has yet

indicated the German artillery also very
active on this front. possibly in an at
tempt to check by counter fire any
movement the British might be at
tempting.
While there is no allied advance on
the western front. there is at least an
absence Of German progress. The

his troops are not gaining him any

In the course of patrol encounters in

day proved a markedly successful one
for our airmen. The vigorous offensive
tactics employed enabled our artillery

successfully during the day and made 1t
possible for us to take an unusually
large number of photographs.
Our bombing squadrons. moreover
carried out many raids and bombed four
of the enemy's airdromes. Some of our
machines came down to very low aIti-
tudes at distance of more than forty
miles behind the enemy's lines.

Food for German Army.

One authority has estimated that Ger
many now is getting from the neutrals in
question-Norway. Sweden. Denmark and
Holland-enough to feed the entire Ger
man army. This assertion is strenuously
denied by representatives of these ma
tons. The allies of the United States
have furnished figures which purport to
give in pounds and bushels and tons the
vast amount of supplies the central
powers are getting.
In view of this fact the most plausi-
bic plan obviously is to determine ex-
actly the needs of the neutral nations
low shipment from the United States
only of that amount in excess of their
own production actually needed by
them, and to take other steps to see
that supplies of this sort. even if they
are not the same goods sent from
America. do not reach Germany.
Statistics furnished by the Danish
government. it is understood, show that
Denmark can support herself without
NJ. de Lagercrantz has gone home. and
IS quoted as being assured that the ar
rangements to be made by the United
States will be satisfactory to his ma
tion. Sweden. il is reported, has been
sending comparatively little food into
Germany, but she has been selling Ger
many vast quantities OF other supplies.
From Norway and Holland have gone
immense shipments of food, the allied
reports TO this government said to
show, and these two nations are likely
to suffer the most severe Curtaiiment of
United States food shipments. Norway
Denmark and Holland also will require
a considerable amount of grain and
fodder from the United states.

TO CUT GERMAN SUPPLIES

The American governments rationing of
northern European neutrals will be put in
operation within a few days. Details Of
the plan to be followed. it was learned
last night, have virtually been settled
upon by the exports council, but they will
not be made public until an announcement
Of the program is issued from the White
House. Notes will be dispatched to the
neutrals. informing them of this country
decision.
While awaiting information concerning
the exact import needs of the neutrals
the exports council has denied ali appli-
cations for licenses to ship them goods
from the United States
Figures furnished this government by
the allied nations show that millions of
marks worth of foodstuffs have been Eur
chased by Germany in nearby neutral
nations. One feature of the American
rationing plan, it is reasonably certain,
will take into consideration the POSSIBLE
ity' of the neutrals using foods and sup
plies sent them by the United States,
while they sell their own products to Ger
many. 1t is asserted by Great Britain,
France and Italy that this is what has
happened to marked extent Therefore
an arrangement which will simply avoid
the reshipment of American goods to Ger
many or Austria is considered far from
adequate as means of stopping the
heavy flow of foodstuffs and other needed
supplies into Germany.
