American Training Camp in France
August 21 By The Associated Press,
Training in some of the American
battalions has progressed to such a
point that sham attacks on the trench
systems are being carried out with a
degree akin to actual warfare. Thus
far, artillery fire has been only theo-
rical, but before long, the troops
hope to have the experience Of watching
the effect Of real artillery upon the
trenches.
The marines are having some especial.
ly lively engagements this week with
their French instructors. French chas,
seurs acting as the enemy have been
making attacks upon the marines
trench system with Dewey, Farragut,
Porter and Sampson trenches as the
battle detectives.
The French also have been attempt.
ing to block and hold communication
trenches as Ohio, Mississippi Delaware
and Potomac
Marines Are Fighting.
The marines have been making stern
resistance and wherever the enemy"
penetrated their lines they organized
counterattack. which quickly eject.
ed the intruders The real object Of
these preliminary attacks is 10 get the
officers and men acquainted with what
are known at the front as operation or
ders. 1t is the first step toward learn.
ing the rudiments of a highly organ.
lied part of modern warfare where
every step and every detail is worked
out in advance on a pre,arranged plan
and must be strictly adhered to.
one great difference from real war.
fare, however is the fact that in bat.

2ccommodatingly allowed a COPY Of his
operation orders to fall into the hands
OF the defending garrison. This will
be changed later and the American
trench garrison will be called upon to
resist surprise attacks in force
Keep in Communication.
Another valuable feature in sham bat.
tie exercises is in teaching Americans
the great Importance of what is known
as 'liason' work - the maintenance of
communication with supporting artil.

planes and with information centers. At.
tacks are accompanied by lively rocket
signals sent up for defending the cur.
tain of fire from the artillery and call
ing reserves from companies in sup
port OF the trenches.
The rockets are also used in the
guise Of artillery fire by shortening and
lengthening ranges.
The evacuation OF wounded under
theoretical shell fire is another feature
OF sham battles. which is receiving at.

AvO,O hYSTERlE IN PRESENT FOOD CAMPAIGN

X warning to the people of Arkan- sas to avoid hysteria in the presen. food preparedness campaign to stick 10 staple crops and to avoid perishable crops unless d market for them is as sured in advance, Is contained in an article written by John C. Futrall. president of the University of Arkar- sas at the request of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Lii tie Rock Board of Commerce.
 Almost everywhere people ar i planting almost every available acre, writes President Futrall. The sale of garden seed shows that in general i two or three times the amount of stuff that is used in any ordinary year is being planted. It is all right to plan and produce as much as you possibly can in your garden this year, but avoid perishable things that cannot be conserved Such vegetables as peas, okra, tomatoes and other staples cannot be grown in too large quanti- ties provided you have facilities for taking care of them. There is great shortage of cans and glass jars and much of the food which it has been necessary to can or preserve must be dried or evapOrated
 This year in particular it is of the very greatest importance that the far mers should take no chances Plant nothing but staples that you know by experience will succeed in your com munity. and if possible limit yoIr planting to those things that you have actually grown on your own land.
 Every year there are many thou sands of acres in Arkansas that lie idle for several months of the growing season after having had crop Of oats or wheat or potatoes removed. It Is vital this year that every such acre should be immediately replanted to some other crop, provided that it is possible for the owner 10 secure the necessary labor and seed If he can not get it, the business men, bankers and other agencies in his county should give him every assistance n securing it.
 We should be making plans for an even greater production next year. Those who are closest in touch with the international situation do not hope for an ear'Y conclusion of the war. And the come of this war is going to depend no less upon guns and pow der and bullets and fighting men than f is upon hog and hominy which is only a homely expression for the sta pie ljfe-conservtng foods. meat and bread.
 Many persons who will engage in food production this year will need expert advice If there is county agent in the county he should be the first man appealed to If not. the Col lege of Agriculture of the university has specialists who will be glad 10 an sWer letters. The college also has bull letins giving scientific and practical advice on almost every subject con nected with food production.
