WHEAT FLOUR
All persons who have an excess of wheat
flour on hand are given an opportunity to re-
turn same to the stores from which they pur-
chased, as anything over six pounds per per-
son in the family is boarding under the law,
for which there is a penalty of $4,000 fine or
two years Imprisonment, or both.
A FINAL OPPORTUNITY is now given
to those to surrender their surplus supply and
thus avoid and protect themselves against
the possibility, and probability of prosecu-
tion in the Federal Court.
We urge everyone who has surplus supply
of flour to Immediately return same to the
stores from which they purchased and avoid
the penalty as above stated.
This has reference to everyone who has an
excess, including farmers who have had
flour ground from the wheat they raised.
The stores will pay for the flour you re-
turn, giving you receipt for same.
There are a large number of Loyal Ameri-
can Citizens who will be pleased to avail
themselves of this opportunity to return all
surplus or excess supplies of flour they may
now have. Many will gladly make sacrifices
in making such returns. There are, unfor-
tunately, others who must be reminded re-
garding the penalty as above stated.

FEARFUL SLAUGHTER
OF GERMAN TROOPS
Continued from page u

across. The Boches looked like
gnomes while crossing the river, be-
ing forced to wear gas masks, owing
to the violence of their own casing.
Numerous stories are told of indi-
viduaI bravery of the Americans.
One artillery outfit maintained such
a constant rapid fire that it ran short
of ammunition. Volunteers were
called for to 90 three miles over a
road, every inch of which was swept
by she'll fire. Every man volunteered.
The necessary number were picked.
They drove their horses, dragging
the humping caissons at salIop
through shell bursts. Several horses
were killed. Returning, more horses
were killed.
The number of horses was so re-
duced that the men were forced to
substitute themselves. They would
leap off, cut loose the nfansied bodies
of the faithful animals, then grasp
the traces and run along beside the
remaining horses. When this strange
cavalcade-haIf man, half animai-ar-
rived at the battery, the men serving
the guns paused long enough in their
deadly work to cheer their heroic
comrades.
Sergeant Fred Brown and Oscar
Wilcox returned to the American
lines late yesterday afternoon with
eight prisoners. They had been cap
tured themselves and disarmed. But,
watching fer an opportunity, they
overpowered their guards and es-
capped, picking up squad of Boehes
on the way back.

the assault
The Germans, it was learned from
an authoritative source, advanced
three miles on a four mile front be-
tween Belval and Pourcy.
Between Fossoy and Jaulgonne, the
enemy advanced a mile beyond the
Marne. (This is where the Arneri-
cans drove them back across the riy-
er. Fossoy is four miles due east of
Chateau-Thierry, and Jaulgonne is the
same distance northeast of Fossoy.)
Between Bligny and Troissy the en-
envy penetrated slightly more than a
mile. CTroissy is on the south bank
of the Marne, two miles noreast of
Dor1nans, while Bligny is twelve
miles northeast of Troissy, in the
direction of Rheims. This would in
dictate that the Germans succeeded in
progressing on a sixteen mile front
between Chateau-Thierry and Rheims,
separated into two sectors by a five
mile strip along the Marne between
Jaulgonne and Dormans. The great
est penetration, obviously, was about
midway between Dormans and
Rheims).
1t is believed the Germans pene-
trated the village of Prunay (seven
miles southeast Ol hHtiinSJ dHO also
advanced a mile and half in the di
rection of Prosnes and Souain, but
were driven back by counter attacks
(Prosnes is twelve miles east anc
south of Rheims. Souain is clever
miles directly east of Prosnes. The
latter village is believed to be on tht
left flank of the American unit fight
ing east of Rheims).
Compared with their initial sue
cesses in previous efforts, the Ger
mans present achievements are rel

Italian prisoners, who escaped from
Hungarian concentration camp
into Rumania, were given the hearth
est welcome, according to dispatches
reaching here.
Among the men escaping was an
army priest, who was stark naked.
He clothed himself with bishops

francs.
Seaplanes Helped.
ROME July 16.-Destroyers and
seaplanes rendered valuable assist
ance to the Franco-Italian advance in
Albania, semi-official announcements
here today stated.
Destroyers bombarded the coast in
the neighborhood of Cape Samans
and the mouth of the Semeni river,
destroying the enemy defenses and
dispensing the garrison. Severe losses
were inflicted. The work of the sea-
planes was cooperative with that OF
the destroyers.
Enemy Is Checked.
PARIS, July 16 a p. m.)-The gen.
eral opinion prevailed in Paris this
afternoon that the enemy is checked.
Since yesterday evening the Ger
mans have made no further progress.
The total number of prisoners
taken by the Americans in the fight
ing along the Marine is now placed
at 1000.
In local fighting last night the
enemy tried unsuccessfully to con-
tinue his enveloping movement upon
Rheims by concentrating at Marfaux,
on the southwest, and at Fort Pom
pelle, on the southeast Although he
captured Bligny mountain 1.-TWO miles
northwest of Marfaux) he was re-
pulsed elsewhere without difficulty.
French aviators destroyed two
bridges crowded with Germans south
of Jaulsonne Con the Marne).
