Americans Fight First Battle of Any

Washington.-The situation of the
allies ON the west front is critical, but
not as bad as the Germans would
nave us believe. After month of
hghting the allies are still in possess
sion of the strategic centers which the
Germans had planned to capture. The
offensive of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg has developed with scientific
precision, but he has found himself
halted at every step forward.
While the allies have not attempted
an offensive of their own end there
lore, are under the necessity of con-
tlnuing To withstand repeated enemy
blows, they have been so successful on
the defense that they have not vet
been compelled to surrender central
base of operations.
The loss of Ypres has been forecast
in the dispatches and the world expects
the British to retire from that historic
salient, but If the retirement is made in
good order to nearby line, the allies
Will still be in strong position for the
defense of the channel ports of Dun.
klrk and Calais. At the same time
they will be able to boast that they
nave made the enemy pay dearly, If
not quite enough, for whatever gains
he has made.
The loss of Ypres and large part
of the last remnant of Belgium Elan
ders will have Il depressing effect upon
the Belgians and, perhaps, upon the
British and French but Ypres never

The fight centered at the village of
Seicheprey.
The Germans 1900 strong attacked
the American lines and also the ad

Washington.-Th National army
and many organizations of the Nation

the United States rifle, model of 1917
(modified Enfield), it became neces-
sary to devise some plan whereby
troops could be efficiently trained in
the use of this weapon in short time.
A statement authorized by the ord

United States teams which won inter
national shooting matches, were com
missioned and sent to various camps
to instruct officers and men in shoot
ing and in the operation and care of
the rife.

their work at night, when they will

in new parts by sense of touch.
Communal kitchens are being estab-
lished throughout Great Britain and
are proving successful in saving food
and fuel, according to reports to the
department of commerce. An article
from recent issue of an English
newspaper is quoted:
1.-THE war has brought home to the
public that the communal or national
kitchen is a necessity and can be
made success. Within a compare
lively short period there will probably
be Installed many hundreds of these
establishments throughout the coun-
try. The national kitchen was origi-
nally intended to supply poor people
with nourishing and attractively pre-
pared food at low prices, but there is
considerable prospect-certainty in
fact-that the more prosperous will
form fair proportion of the custo-
mers.
"As an example of the outfit of n
peoples kitchen that at Hammersmith
Gondon) may be taken as model.
This supplies about 5000 customers n
week, which probably represents 49,

mer commonly purchases for his or

REAL BATTLES FOR

fines the Qualities of a
Real BattIer.

When Berny Leonard fought Jack
Britton in the Quaker city june 20
last, something of a howl went up
from the followers of Britton who
claimed that their man was entitled
to the decision. The referee, Billy
Recap. doped out his decision in a
new manner, one which puts the
old-time referees in a class which
might be called extinct.
No longer can a fighter stall
around and clinch till his opponent
becomes winded no more can he
fight a defensive battle and earn a
draw. but he must stand toe 10 toe
with his adversary and swap
punches with him till one or the
other is licked That is the new
method which fighters are now us
ing. The code was published last
