BACON AND BULLETS
UNITED States Food Administrator

Are you a soldier clad in khaki.
If you answer no, then you are not
worth your bacon. This is not
meant to disparage you, but it does
mean that our soldiers must have
bacon. Fats are quite as important
in fighting this war as guns or am
munition, and bacon is one of the
chief sources Of fat.
Fats supply energy to the body, and
pork fat is more used in the army
than any other, because 1t is more
readily shipped, and it is the meat
best liked by the men working ut

HARDEST FIGHT OF NEW
~ OFFENSIVE.

With the American Army
Northwest of Verdum. Oct. 3d.
The stiffest fighting of the Amer
lean offensive west of the Meuse
was under way today. The line
is swaying back and forth.
In the region Of Grand Pre-. On
the western end of the front, the
American threw back repeated
violent German counter-attacks.
On the northern edge Of Grand
Pre- the Americans captured fifty
two prisoners, including three Of
ficers. They also took eight en-
envy machine guns.
. With their backs to great
,series of woods, the Bots de Bas
and the Bois de Bourgogne IN
,cluded, the Germans are fightlng
for their lives. Prisoners assert
that the woods are literally full
OF machine guns and guns OF
heavier caliber, and these prlso-
ners have expressed the OPINION
Shat the Americans never can cap
ture Bourgogne and the woods to
the northwest.
Facing Machine Guns.
The American troops fought all
Wednesday in the face Of ma
chine gun fire from Talma farm
to Hill 900, northwest of Grand
Pre-. Upon the slopes to the
north Of Grand Pre- the German
machine nests extended from HUI
2A to Bellejoyouse farm. North
Of Campignoulle several light at
tacks by the Germans were re-
pulsed.
In one instance some Germans
were wounded and two were cap
tured. These men came forward
calling "Kamerad." then opened
Ere with rifles which had been
strapped upon their backs. Light
forces Of infantry attacked i'm
mediately afterwards, when the
Americans refused to rush for
ward in response to the kamerad
trick.
Along the same part of the
front the Germans are using light
rolling machine guns. moving
from place to place. particularly
at night, with the object Of con-
eealing the positions Of their
heavier guns. The German heavy
artillery shelled Sommerance and
other towns in that region and
a far as the Meuse drenched the
woods within the American Lines
with gas at intervals.
Aided BY Morning Mist.
An early morning mist and
smoke screen assisted the Amer
leans, who advanced for dis
lance Of about two-thirds Of a
mile at certain points and gained
positions Of advantage, including
ridges on either side of Grand
Pre-. During the day the Amer
icans took 200 prisoners, and
others are coming in. The Ger
mans are using for the most part
