French Still Hold CourceIles.

With the French Army in France, June 13 (By the Associated Press.) The defense of Courcelles, on the left wing of the battle front, by the French against attacks repeated day and night from June to June II makes a wonderful story of heroism The village, which is most important owing to it's commanding position, was for AS hours almost surrounded by the enemy, but the French held on and when a favorable opportun- ity came sortied and counter-at tackled, repulsing the Germans from the vicinity.
 The Germans tried every possible ruse as well as force to take the village. The growing crops on the fertile land in the vicinity were a source of considerable trouble to the defenders, as the Germans coul. creep through them until they reached the edge of the village. The enemy also covered their helmets with clumps of grass and weeds and crawled slowly forward. They could not, however, shake the determina-

VolkS ZeitunS Laments Loss Of Commerce by American Blacklist OFFSETS CONQUEST BY ARMS
Shipbuilding Yards, Docks and Vast Maritime Investments Gone For cver-SciZure of German Estates Added Cause for Grief.

Washington, June 13.--In the crushing out of Germanism in the United States, the Koelnische Volks Zeitung sees a disaster in a measure balancing the TeutOnic military suc- cess. An official dispatch from France today commenting upon pessimistlc discussion in the German press of events in the United States quotes the Nolks Zeitung as follows:
 MT. Wilson hopes to succeed in crushing the German clements. He will succeed. The German press Is already nearly crushed out of eNlst- the German schools are closed The German associations are required to strip themselves of all vestiges Of Germany. It is a complete debacle.
 Tt is unnecessary to be pessimistic to realize that the consequences of our European victories are in a meas ure balanced by the sum total of the losses we have suffered in America. All this could have been foreseen.
 After the war, Germans will no longer be able to enter America; the Hamburg American and North Ger man Lloyd lines are entered in the black book. Shipbuildina yards and offices have been sold with the pro- hibition of reselling to Germany after the war. The American press speaks of fOrbidding Germans to buy ship building yards. It will be the end of German transatlantic commerce.
 "Besides these maritime forces, German estates representing millions of dollars, stocks of copper, nickel, cotton, leather and chemical products have been seized and utilized to fab ricate American war material

French Control Foes Communication

French Control Foes Communication
 Paris, June 13.-There was plenty of fighting yesterday but it did not affect the general situation. As the Germans are fighting against time this result is a distinct gain to the defense.
 The Germans, it is true, made slight progress on their left toward Compiegne from which, at Melicooq they are now only five miles away, but so did the French on the other wing in the region of Mery.
 AS the nature of the ground around Mery provides the French with excellent gun positions behind hills from which they can pound at short range the road by which all supplies must pass to the German center in the thrust toward Con- piegne, the French can claim an ad- vantage on the days operations, for they also stopped the German efforts south of the Aisne against the forest east of Villers-Cotterets.

Their Statements.
 With the American Army in France,
 June 12 (By The Associated Press).- -
 The excellence of the American artil-
 lery fire was largely responsible for
 the capture by American marines of
 approximately 400 prisoners in the
 fighting which resulted in the clearing
 out of the Belleau Wood, northwest of
 Chateau-Thierry. The Germans who
 had been told to avoid capture because
 the Americans would torture them,
 started to run after the American ma-
 chine gunners had made the wood un- tenable, but the artillery barrage was so perfect that the Germans were cut off from escape.
 Among the prisoners are six off, cers-a major, a captain and four leutenants All were poorly clad and some had pieces of bread tied to their uniforms with string. The prisoners said they were glad to be captured and several expressed a desire to go to tho United States after the war to live. All of Germany's plans, they added,
 called for ending the war next fall. The prisoners were told, they said, that the Americans had many negroes opposing them.
 The scarcity of officers in the Ger man army is shown by the fact that one of the prisoners, a first sergeant, commanded a company. He said this was a common thing now. All tho nrisoners expressed admiration for the 1 fighting qualities of the Americans. The barn in which the prisoners were confined today in the rear of 1 the American lines held more prison | CTS of war than the United States has | had in one building at any time in more than 50 years.
 i Comparative quiet prevailed along 1 the Marne sector.

Wholesalers Supply Reduced One-Hali by New Order MUST FEED BOYS ACROSS
Stock at Beef Boxes Exhausted and Little Strengthening Being Done Restauratcurs Add Fish to Their Menu.

Meatless days in New Britain will probably become compulsory through lack of supply. At the beef boxes in the city today it was stated that the supply of fresh beef is practically ex- hausted and the supply has been cut down by order of government officials one-half.
 A representative of the Armour & Co said their source of supply has been reduced onc-half and there is no fresh beef on hand. No cars or meat have arrived this week. A car is expected today or tomorrow The usual requirement. is between 50 and 75 cattle weekly. Under the present conditions the supply will probably not exceed 25 or 30 weekly. The sup ply of lamb and veal is about tho 5ame.
 Joseph R. Andrews of Andrews. Swift & Co, said this afternoon that his normal supply of between 72 and 1C0 beef weekly is cut 50 to 8 1-3 per cent. The government is com mandecring considerable quantity of beef weekly and as the war goes on and more troops are sent across the shortage will be felt more keenly. The use of provisions in place of fresh

 The order reducing the meat sup ply is at the instance of the federal authorities and it's purpose is eN- plained in the following despatch from Washington:
 washington, D. C., June 12.-To meet the needs of the American and allied armies and the civilian popu- lations of France, Great Britain and Italy, the American people were asked by the food administration to- day to place themselves on a limited beef allowance from now until next September.
 "Householders were requested not to buy under any circumstances more than one and one-quarter pounds of Clear beef weekly or one and one- half pounds including the bone, for each person in the household Hotels and restaurants were asked not to serve boiled beef more than two meals weekly, beefstake more than one meal weekly and roast beef more than one meal weekly.
 Dr. c. s. Witte, who has charge al the municipal abattOir, said today that the shortage of beef has moi caused any increase in local slaugh. tering, as might be expected. Ther( is always some slaughtcring going or but in the spring and summer the stock is put out to pasture to fatter so that the usual amount of killing is considcrably reduced.

It Is doubtful II any move along
