WASHINGTON, July q. - Franco

attacks launched against the Germans
in the Rheims Marne line up to

This may be for a counter attack on

LONDON, July 21.--Ludendorff can
not rest content with stopping the
French-Americans in the Marnc battle
He must Immediately launch another
attack, besides recovering some of the
ground just lost. His salients are far
too narrow for him to remain for any
length of time, and a blow must be
struck elsewhere to relieve the press
ure between the Aisne and the Marne.
Inc good news from France has had
a notable effect on the civilian popu-
iatlon. There are unpleasant rumors
OF labor troubles at Midland. but the
olspute should be settled without diff
hculty. Munition workers fear the gov
crnment is trying to introduce some
form OF industrial conscription, but
apparently there is a misunderstanding
which VIII be set right without de-
Jay. otherwise the country is IN very
Duoyant frame of mind and has visions
OF bright future.
On every side there are highly com
pllmentary remarks about Americas S
part. The fire work of the American
troops on the Marne is considered q
happy augury. That America should
start her active military participation
with success is highly important
moral factor. No one week of the
war has seen so complete reversal,

German Press Saw
Sure Marne Victory

PARIS, July 21.-Now that the enc
my has been driven back across the
Marine, it affords the French press le-
climate satisfaction to quote the Ger
man press which recently was rejoicing
over the success of the army in cross
ing the river. The comment of the
German newspapers showed the great
Importance which was attributed to
the German advance by the press of
that country.
The "Frankfurter zeitung" consider
ed the establishment of bridgehead
south of the Marne as an event of cap
ital Importance, opening up the finest
military perspective. The "Munchener
Neaeste Nachrichten" believed the
crossing of the Marine was the surest
means of capturing Rheims, while the
"Stras sburger Post" affirmed that the
German success in crossing the river
was complete and definite victory.
Similar comments from other news
papers arc quoted, ending with a state
ment by the military critic of the
"Frankfurter Zeitung" printed on Fri
day, in which he said "we foresee no

Mangin and Spirit in Charge Across Marshes
Elicts Highest Praise

PARIS, July 21.-Wishing to honor
the American forces on the Aisne-
Marne front, General Mangn placed a
renowned French infantry division be-
tween two American divisions when
the attack against the Germans began.
1he Americans proved themselves
worthy of the honor given them. The
fine conduct and high spirits of the
Americans, who sang as they crossed

"Oeuvre," in writing Of events at the

Every church in New York was
crowded to capacity yesterday in re-
sponse to Mayor Hylan's proclamation
making Sunday day sof prayer and
Thanksgiving for the Franco-America
victory on the Marne. Thousands Of
persons gave up their usual weekend

were many soldiers and sailors.
The ajority of the churches modified
their usual services in such way that
persons of any creed or sect were able
to express themselves as individuals
and not members of any particular con-

Services were held at the city prison
and at many of the public institutions.
The churches opened their doors
at o'clock in the morning, and did
not close until late in the evening.
Streams Of persons continued to pass
in and out of the various places of
worship all day.

begun about fifty years ago.
The reason given for the Kaiser's
ruthless act is that the organization
was founded in England and developed
IN that country and that many of the
Salvationists are fighting under the
various flags of the Allies. There are
more than 100000 Salvationsts now in
the trenches and bearing arms for the
Allies.
Word also was received that Ameri-
can military commanders are encour-
aging Salvation Army women to enter
infantry field kitchens and cook pas
tries for the troops. There are now
several hundred of these women back

morning of the first day of the often

troops on the Aaisne Marne battlefront,

that he was walking the streets proudly
to-day. In conservation to-day the SOL

"The fighting of the Americans was a

All chickens and eggs which are

chase of tractor should bear these
facts In mind. Judging by the expert
ence Of tractor users, 1t Is not safe
to expect any material reduction in
the cost of farm operations per acre
through the use of the tractor, but 1t
Is safe to expect to be able to increase
the crop acreage to very consider
able extent, and, at the same time, the
amount Of crops which one man Ncan
raise.
Furthermore, 1t should be remember
ed that the cost Of doing the work
with tractor In most cases cannot be
directly compared with the cost Of
doing 1t with horses, since on farms
where tractors are used number Of
horses generally are retained, and any
comparison, therefore, must be made
between the cost of operating the
farm with horses alone and the cost
Of operating with the tractor and a
certain number of horses. Not in
frequently horses stand idle while the
tractor Is being used for field work,
because there is not sufficient help
availsble to use them at the same
time, and in such cases part of the
cost of their maintenance must be
considered when figuring the cost Of
farm operations, since they are as
much part Of the farm power plant
as Is the tractor.
Not only should the relative ex-
pense of operation with the two meth
DDS be considered, but also the rela-
tive results. The increased crop
acreage and consequent increase in
incomes which the purchase of the
tractor will often make possible may
much more than Offset slight In
crease in the operating expenses Of the
farm.

quests for them by the score are re-
ceived from town women who have

These are not all the publications Of
the department. During the war
number of circulars and pamphlets
having direct bearing on winning
the struggle are being issued. Then
there are the professional bulletins,
dealing in less popular form with re-
searches into the science Of agricul-
ture. In addition there are several
serial publications and the annual re-
ports and other congressional publica-
tions, including the department year
book and reports Of soil surveys.
The policy of reducing in size and
making more readable has been ex-
tended through all these classes.
Lists of available bulletins, from
which selections can be made, will be
sent to interested persons on request

The advantage Of the tractor, like

Vegetable Protein.

Among the poultry experiments now
being conducted on the government
farm at Beltsville. Nd. are a number
Of feeding tests In which the value of
vegetable protein is being compared
with beef scrap. One pen Of chickens
fed a mash containing 20 per cent beef
scrap produced In Ave and One-half
months an average Of SO eggs per hen.
Another pen fed mash consisting Of
10 per cent peanut meal and 10 per
cent beef scrap produced an average
of 53.4 eggs per hen during the same
period. The hens In third pen.
which were fed a mash consisting of
10 per cent soy-bean meal and 10
per cent beef scrap, averaged 44.4 eggs
for the period. In other pens
cottonseed meal and velvet-bean meal
were fed as part substitute for beef
scrap with the result that the hens
produced fair egg yield, though not
as high as the hens in the first pen
mentioned.

Reducing Fire Danger.

The fire hazard should be considered
In the location and construction of all
new farm buildings. Many groups Of
farm buildings are so located and con-
structed that any fire which might
break out In one building would be
almost sure to destroy the whole
group. When new building Is to be
erected 1t Is worth while at least to
consider placing 1t where 1t will be
reasonably safe from fire starting in
any other building and where 1t will
not be a menace to other buildings.
Concrete construction Is being used
on many farms, and II Is especially
desirable for smokehouses, incubator
rooms, and any other small buildings
which are exceptionally subject to loss
by fire. The first cost Of a well-con-
structed concrete building generally
will be greater than that Of wood
building of the same size, but the con-
crete will last practically forever, and
will seldom need paint or repairs.
A fire in such building can do but
slight damage to the building itself.
and there Is very little likelihood Of
its spreading to any of the adjoining
buildings.
