TWO HUN PLANES
ARE SHOT DOWN
BY AMERICANS
(By Associated Press.)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Thursday, June 13.-Two
German airplanes were destroyed and
another apparently was driven down
out of control by American aviators
on the Toul front today.
Three American fighting airplanes
attacked a German patrol machine at
a height of two thousand metres. The
German fled toward St. Mihiel with
the Americans in pursuit and then to
behind the German lines at Thiau-
court, where the enemy machine was
brought down.
The other Germans were accounted
for in a fight with a German albatross
circus of II machines and American
fighting airplanes which went to the
aid Of two photographing airplanes
under attack by the Germans. The
battle took place at height Of five
thousand metres over Norroy, north
OF Pont-A-Mousson. One German ma
chine was shot down in flames while
the other is believed to have been
crippled.
One of the American machines is
missing. 1t was seen to go down in a
nose dive during the fight, but it IS be-
lieved the aviator landed safely and
was made prisoner by the Germans.
All the other American machines es-
capped unscratched.

new REGULATIONS
LIMIT SUGAR SALES

H. W. Gilbert, Wayne county food
administrator, received instructions
Friday morning from Washington, linz
iting sugar sales, which now provide
only for two pounds of sugar in town
or city and pounds in the rural dis
trict at any one time, all of which
must be on the basis of pounds per
capita a month. This ruling is alb
solute. The grocers and dealers are
to know that no additional sugar is
on hand when the sale is made. This
ruling does not affect the sale of sugar
for canning purposes. The new ruling
was brought about by many people
taking advantage of the canning re-
quirements and it was therefore nee
essary to limit the amount of sugar.
1t is also necessary for the house
wife to file a statement with the gro
Ger showing how she used the first 25
pounds of sugar before she is entitled
to additional sugar for canning pur
poses.
After July 1 the use of sugar for
less essential purposes will be great
ly reduced. The order provides not
to allow manufacturers or distributors
of less essential products, such as bot
tiers, confectioners and soda fountain
against this shortage. Any excess of
sugar found in the hands of any one
will be confiscated and will be given
full publicity as we'll as severe penalty
for the violation.

BELCIANS ARE
SUBJECTED TO
new CRUELTY
BY GERMANS
Thousands of Civilians Forced
to do Military Work on En-
emy Front - Women and
School Children Taken.
TREATED LIKE CATTLE
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. June 14-Deporta.
ton and forced labor Inflicted upon
Belgian civilians by the German gov.
eminent not only continues unabated
but has taken on a new character, &C
cording to a memorandum presented
to Secretary OF State Lansing, by the
Belgian minister and made public TO-
day. The memorandum contains a
copy Of protest sent to the German
governor-general of occupied Belgium
by the Belgian senate and house of
representatives in March.
The deportation Of civilians is still
being carried on, states the memoran-
dunn, especially in the military zone
which comprises the two Flanders. and
a great part Of the provinces Of Hahn
aut, Namur and Luxemburg. During
March Of this year, 2700 men, from all
conditions Of life have been taken
fromLockeren in east Flanders to do
military work on the western front.
Moerbke, Wachtebeke and the sur
rounding region was called upon dur
ing the same month to furnish 500
civilians to lay railroads. The names
Of all girls and women from IA to 40
years was required by the Germans
from Alest and that district. Some of
the boys deported are as young as
thirteen and a half years, the memor-
andum states. High school and gram
mar schools have been called upon to
furnish their quotas.
Torn Away From Homes
Those deported instead of being sent
to Germany as in the past, the memor-
andum declares. are now being sent
to work in the region behind the Ger
man front in France and Belgium.
The Germans also appear to have
changed their reasons for the deporta-
ton, the note states. The pretext for
merly used, namely. to give work to
the unemployed, has been abandoned:
and now the deportations are being
made on the grounds that by an order
Issued by the German general head
quarters, every inhabitant OF the
country may be compelled to give
his help in case of public calamity,
even outside his residence"
Under the new preteXt the German
government, says the memorandum,
thus continues "to tear the Belgians
away from their homes in order to
transport them into regions im.ne-
diately behind the German front in
France and Belgium. There they are
herded like cattle in special camps,
compelled to do work OF a military
character or interest; many are sent
into the zone Of operations and ex-
posed to the fire OF Belgian or allied
batteries. Besides they are subjected
to bad treatment and brutality; the
complaints do not reach the outside
world for the military zone where
they are sent is strictly closed and no
delegates Of neutral power is ever
allowed to enter this territory

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 13.-The Distinguishe
service cross, the new American war
medal, has been awarded to eleven
members of the American expedition
ary force by General Pershing.
Announcement was made today that
two officers, four non-commissioned
officers and five privates had been
honored Six of the men were dec
Grated for bravery in action on Feb.
28. Ambulance drivers, artillerymen,
infantrymen and private from the
medical department comprise those
honorei
Following are the citations: Private
(First class) Lece McGilire-"Was on
duty as driver Of an ambulance at
an advanced post on April 10. During
April 10 and 20 he made several trips
to and from dressing station reached
by an exposed road in day time for the
purpose of bringing back wounded.
On one Of these trips the ambulance
was blown from the road by an eX-
plosion Of shell and he was knocked
unconscious by the shock. On recov-
ering consciousness he returned on
foot. Although he had not yet recov-
cred from the injury to his back he
wished to return to duty on the after
noon of the same day, but was not per.
mitted to do so until the afternoon OF
the following day"

Private (first class) Fred A. Rem
nick-"On April was ordered to
drive an ambulance to a dressing sta
tion. The road over which it was
necessary to pass was under continu-
GUS shell fire. On the way to the
dressing station he received a slight
wound. In spite of the wound, which
was dressed at the dressing station,
he resumed his post. On the return
trip she'll struck the car, seriously
wounding him and killing his passen-

whether you are producer or a non
producer. People think they have
done all they can toward city garden
ing when they have only scratched the
surface. This war is going to last
a long time, and we are going to have
to raise enough food in our gardens to
feed ourselves"
Mr.. Lommel praised the work that
has been done by E. F. Murphy, Rich
mond garden director, but suggested
that he should be given an assistant
in order that each garden might be
given closer attention.
The gardens which have been culti-
waited by the postoffice employees on
South Ninth street, were the best he
had seen anywhere, Mr.. Lommel said
following the garden inspection.

RICHMOND IS PUT
ON BEEF RATI0NS
BY FOOD ORDER
One and One-half Pounds Per
Capita Each Week is the
Limit.

Richmond and Wayne county butch
ers will be required to establish a
checking system for the sale of beef,
according to Harry Gilbert, Wayne
county food administrator, who has
ordered all butchers to limit the sale
of beef to IL pounds per capita per
week.
The same regulations apply through
out the county.
Gilbert received a telegram from
Washington Friday morning which
states that the demand for beef for
the American and allied armies and
their civil population for this summer
is beyond the present supply. How
ever, there is an increased supply of
pork this summer of which the gov
ernment permits economical expan-
sion in it's use.
The suggestion is made that pork
and pork products be used and beef
entirely eliminated. The following
was issued by the food administrator:
"All hotels and restaurants are re-
quested to eliminate from their menus
or serve boiled beef at not more than
two meals weekly. beefsteak one meal
weekly and roast beef one meal a
week and as to the househ olders they
are requested not to buy more than
one and one-half pounds of beef week
ly per person.
"The public must realize changed
conditions in shipping. Therefore the
markets available to the allies and
the increased demands for our grow
ing army with the f1uctuating supply
of local beef in France all make it inn
possible to determine policies for long
periods in advance
1T is anticipated that this ruling
will hold good until September Is,
and the cooperation of the publci is
most earnestly requested"

PROGRESS is SLOW.


LONDON, June 14.-The German
crown prince continues his desperate
attempts to overcome the difficult for
est regions barring his way into the
Disc valley and although by heavy
fighting he gets a little nearer to
Compiegne his progress is very slow
Thursdays reports are considered
satisfactory on the whole by observ.
ers here. The enemy has progressed
about mile on a very narrow front
northeast of illers-Cotterets.
In the face Of superior numbers,
there exists a spirit of quiet conf
dence and trust in General Foch's pru-
dent handling of the situation.
Both the French and German com
muniques indicate the terrible nature
of the struggle that is proceeding. the
Germans having to admit the loss of
some guns.
ut is clear too that the American
forces in the region of Bouresches are
showing grit in holding off the Ger
man attacks, which gives the enemy
great and unexpected trouble.
The battle is regarded here as a
contest between opposing reserves. 1t
is known that the crown prince has
been compelled to draw slightly upon
the reserves of crown prince Rup-
prechtof Bavaria as some of Rup-
precht's men have been identified
among the twenty divisions the Ger
mans have employed since June g.
The enemy losses have been far heav-
ier after days of bitter fighting dur
ing which he only advanced about six
miles than during any previous en-
gagement on the Aisne.
The view Of military experts still is
that the enemy's main attack has not
yet been delivered. There is much
speculation whether the attack will
be the aim of reaching Paris, or, what
object of dividing the allied armies by
a drive for the coast
Take Back Everything.
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE. June 13 (night Five days
sufficed to stay the German offensive
between Mcntdidier and Noyon whose
objective was Compiengne.
Despite long preparation. the Ger
mans were unable to overcome French
resistance and brilliant counter at
tacks by the allied troops took back
everything of Importance which fell
into the hands Of the enemy during
the first rush with large masses of
troops. The Germans certainly
gained some little ground. but their
design failed in its great lines.
Today there was an unsuccessful
German attack west OF the Disc. but
the battle front elsewhere in this re-
gion was calm. This may be a sign
that the enemy has renounced fur
ther efforts in this direction and is
about to start elsewhere.
Troops who participated in the bat
tie as we'll as prisoners are unani-
nous in declaring that the German
losses throughout the Ave days were
appalling.
The French now occupy much bet
ter line Of resistance along this front
than before the battle, having straight
ened out a dangerous salient The
French left wing continues to threat
en- the German communication.
Both the staff and the troops are
full of confidence that they Will be
able to cope with any further Ger
man efforts.
