SUMMARY
of War Situation

American and British troops be-
gan a new attack today between St
Quentin and Cambria. driving
through the gap that had been torn
in the Hindenburg line in that sec
tor.
A heavy rain was falling when the
assault began. but despite this OBJ
stacle Field Marshal Haig reported
that satisfactory progress was made
in the initial onset. The Anglo
Americans are striking in the direc-
ton Of the two German strongholds
at lie Caleau and Bohain.
Advances were made also on two
other fronts on the western battle
field
The French gained over a mile Of
additional territory, taking two more
villages while the Americans. push
ing northward along the Meuse river
have reached the outskirts Of
Brieulles- Sur Meuse
Americans are taking part in all
three Of the drives that were under
way today, attacking with the Brit
ish on the Cam brai-St. Quentin
front; with the French in Cham
pagne and between the Argonne for
est and the Muese river.
Powerful German counter attacks
were delivered against the Ameri-
cans. but all were broken up. At the
few points where the Germans sue
ceeded in getting into American po-
sitions the boches were either kill

Brieulles-sur- -AIeuse is under
heavy American artillery fire and
is being battered 10 pieces. The
town lies about u l-2 miles north
OF Verdun and is on the road run
ming northeast from Nantillois.
French forces that captured Berry
an Bac on the Aisne river north OF
Rheims have extended their gain by
reaching Conde-sur- Meuse.
This gives the French plenty Of
elbow room for striking eastward

Aisne. adding further peril 20 Won

More Precious Than Gold

Sugar to day is more preci-
Gus than gold. 1t is a question
of which cup you will drop in
your allowance, the one you
hold or the one held out by the
American soldier in France.
AS the government needed the
flour a few months ago, so, too,
it needs the sugar now. The
Southern canning will be taken
care of. Let the people of Ark
ansas appreciate what the gov
eminent is doing in this respect
and realize the full force of the
present sugar shortage. To
get sugar under the pretense
of using it for canning and then
appropriating it to crafty per-
sonal consumption is just as
treacherous to the nation as
any act that would result in
the sinking of a transport load
ed with American soldiers.
The people of the Allied
countries have long since CIV
en- up luxuries. No sugar is
served in public eating places
over there. The per capita al
lowance per month in England
is 2 pounds, in France, III
pounds and in Italy / pound.
We are allowed two pounds a
person per month. It is posi-
bic, if everyone will be saving,
J to get along with that quota.

There Is. however, something to be

to effect cure by bancasing the mus

Of strapping the pen to the fingers has

PAY OF CAPITOL POLICE
MAY Be REDUCED JULY |

Capitol police not only have re-
cetved no increase in pay, but they
are threatened with actual loss Of pay
after July l, according to W. NJ Hair
ston, one OF the members OF the force.
Mr.. Hairston has been working
for an increase In pay. but has not
succeeded. Unless Congress comes
TO the relief OF the Capitol police. he
points out, present salaries will on
July 1 automatically go back to their
old status, and policemen now re-
ceiving S96.25 per month will drop
back to $3.50, while those now re-
eeiving ST7 will get but $50.
Notwithstanding the fact that sala-
ries received today are not sufficient
for their living" said Mr.. Hairston.
"the Capitol police have been ordered
to purchase uniforms out OF their
monthly stipend"
He said Congress would do we'll to
emulate the example Of Director
General McAdoo, Of the railroads, in
Increasing the pay Of railroad en-
ployes TO enable them to meet In
creased living expenses.
