500 Taken by French
In the Recapfure of

ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN

French to-day southeast of Amiens not

dominating the region between the
rivers Avre and Moreuil and the MOVE,
through which the main railroad from
Paris to Aniens passes, and which has
been in the hands of the enemy since
March.
More than 500 German officers and
men already captured have been sent
to the rear, and others are arriving.
The artillery preparation preceding
the attack was brief, but it was of a
powerful character and the aim of the
gunners was so accurate that when the
infantry went over they found the
trees in the small woods Astounding in
this vicinity reduced to matchwood
The Germans had laid widespread
network of barbed wire in these woods
and the shells had blown the wire
into great tangle, making the prog
ress of the attackers most difficult. The
French troops, however, overcame the
almost impossible obstacles by gall
liant perseverance while under the in
cessant fire of hundreds of machine
guns.
The assault began early in the morn
ing and lasted three hours. The
Frenchmen advanced at some places to
a depth of 1900 yards along a front
extending for nearly five miles. The
village of Castel first fell before the
dashing attack, Anchin Farm next sue
cumbed and Groshetre Wood and
brouettes Wood followed Then Billot
Wood was captured. All these posi-
tions were taken despite the most de-
termlned opposition of the enemy, who
seemed firmly decided to hold the no.
sltlons at all costs.
The feat of the French troops was
all the more remarkable as, between
the two extreme points of the opera-
tion-Senecat Wood and Arriercour
Wood-the ground is broken by hills
and deep ravines where the enemy had
good shelter and was able to concen-
trate his forces without being seen.
Nothing, however, daunted the French
infantrymen, and they carried the DO
sltlons with courage and dash which
took them considerably beyond the oh
jectives set for them
The Germans suffered heavily in
dead and wounded, in addition to pris-
oners, while material and machine
guns were captured in considerable
quantities. The advance has given the
French good observation posts from
which they can see every movement
of the enemy along the main roads
and in Moreuil and Mailly-Raineval
region which was the scene of the
severest fighting in March and April.

Most of Them Come In at
Night and All Receive
Best of Care
Smoke in Ambulances
Patients Visited Regularly by
Committee Formed of
Women From u. S.

LONDON, July 13.-American wound
ed are now arriving in London in con-
siderable numbers from the sections of
France where the Americans are bri-
gaded with the British. They reach
the various main line stations on Brit
ish hospital trains, together with the
hundreds Of British wounded with
which the trains are laden.
The American soldiers are receiving
the best of care and are being visited
by American women members of a COM
mittee formed to look after them as
soon as the hospital authorities give
their permission. Most Of the Ameri-
can cases arriving in London are CLASH
fed as serious. About one-fourth of
the men received their wounds while
in the fighting line. the remainder be-
ing accidents or sick cases. In the lat
ter category are a considerable num-
, Der of men who have pneumonia Or
appendicitis.
At each station long line Of British
! ambulances are lined up and they take
away the men in rotation as they are
detrained. The Americans take their
, turn with the rest and are transported
to whatever London hospital their par
ticular ambulance happens to repre-
sent. The automobile amhulances Used
in London are Of the latest type and
usually accommodate four men.
The soldiers often receive cigarettes
as they detrain and are permitted to
smoke as they lie on the ambulance
stretcher for ride of che to four
miles from the railway station to the
hospital.
Most hospital trains arrive in Lon
don in the evening and the ambuances,
with their brilliant headlights and
roomy electric lighted interiors, are a
familiar sight in the London streets
i The pedestrian catches glimpse of
the patients through the open rear of
the ambulance and during the last few
! evenings it has been often possible to
see American soldiers lying at the side
of English, Australian and Canadian
Tomm:es, all cheerfully smoking cigar
cites.
AS soon as the American patients
reach the hospital their elrival is re.
ported to the American Army Medical
Service and to the American Red Cross
1t is expected that as soon as the
American authorities take o"er the two
London hospitals which the American
Red Gross recently announced were to
be used exclusively for American
wounded, most of these men will be
/ transferred from the hospitals they
are in at present to a hospital which
has staff of American doctors and
nurses. Two new American hospitals,
located in the London suburbs, will be
taken over within fortnight

LONDON, July 13.-German troops
operating in Russia, according to Eng

sion of the German army is in Finland.
Austria maintains fifteen divisions in
Russia. The German troops in Finland
are posted chiefly between Viborg and
Lake Ladoga.
In Russia proper the armies of the
Central Empires stretch in an uneven
line from a point near Petrograd to
the Black Sea. This line, after running
southwark for many miles, sweeps east
ward along the northern borders Of the
Don Cossacks and then approaches the
Black Sea from the northeast along the
Don Valley.

Further southwest, in the Caucasus,
small German forces are marching tow
ard Baku, while the TURKS are making

The enemy plans in Russia are said
to be chiefly economic. Germany and
Austria desire to secure grain, metals
and oil. Germany also has military
objective in Finland, where the Kaiser
aims to capture the extreme northern
point Of the country in order to con-
vert the harbors into submarine bases

In spite Of a subn0rmal food supply
In this country the American people
have been able to ship to the Allies
as well as our own forces overseas
141 100000 bushels OF wheat, besides
S44, 900, 600 pounds of meat, during the
year ending June 30 last. This has
been made possible by the whole
souled cooperation of the people,
who. besides practiclng self-denlal,
have speeded up production and re-
sponded nobly to the appeal from
abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, In a
letter to President Wilson, gives
brief summary OF the results OF food
conservation in the United States and
Of the activities of the Food Admin
lstration to this end. The conserve
ton measures have been put through
practically on a voluntary basis which
10 regarded as a splendid tribute to
the patriotism of the American people.
Meat shipments were increased 844,-
100000 pounds during the first fiscal
year, as compared with our meat ex-
ports during the year before America
entered the war.

ments." Mr.. Hoover wrote President

chased through or with collaboration
of the Food Administration, amount
to. roundly, 81 ,40O,OOOO 900 during the
FISCAL year"
In 1916-17 the United States sent
the Allies 2,166, 100000 pounds Of
meat. In 1918, with voluntary con-
Ssrvation practiced In America, and
aided by extra weight OF animals, we
sent the Allies 2,O11, 100000 pounds Of

Wheat Saving Enormous.

When the Food Administration be-
gan operations In the summer of 1917,
this country was facing large deficit
In wheat. Counting in all carry-oveE
wheat from the 1915 crop, we had at
the beginning OF the 1917 harvest year
just enough wheat to take care of
Americas normal consumption,-not q
bushel Of surplus
At the close of the 1918 harvest
year the Food Administra tons official
reports showed that our total wheat
shipments to the other side had been
l41 100000 bushels. Every bushel
shipped was wheat saved by the
American people from their normal
consumption.
In cereals and cereal products re-
duced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments TO Allied destinations were
84O,800, 900 bushels, 10000, 900 bushels
more than the amount sent In 1851.
Included in these figures are 13900,-
600 bushels of rye and the 141 900, 0OO
bushels Of saved wheat. In addition
we sent the neutrals dependent on us
10000, 900 bushels of prime breadstuffs.
s"rhese figures do not fully convey
the volume OF the effort and sacrifice
made during the past year by the
whole American people" the Food Ad.
ministrator wrote. II am sure that
all the millions of our people, agricul.
tural as well as urban. who have con.
tributed to these results should feel
a very definite satisfaction that In 9
year of universal food shortages In
the Northern Hemisphere, all of those
people Joined together against Ger
many came through to the new har
vest, not only with health and strength
fully maintained. but with only TEN.
porary periods OF hardship.

tween various sections OF our people

trade, urban or agricultural popula

results, but no one will deny the dom
