and American troops were resisting
most valiantly against heavy odds.
Other fierce struggles were in prog

started yesterday. suffered heavily from
the allied artillery, many OF them be-

In section OF Champagne, lying
east OF Rheims. the enemy attack VAS
broken in its first stage. The point
where the farthcst advance was made
was Prunay, where a small pocket q
600 yards in depth. was punched out
by the enemy, who, however. is still
northward on the Roman road.
Facing this point is a hilly region.
including Moronvlllicrs. Cormillet and
other well-known heights. On these
were advanced positions OF the French
army, lightly held. The enemy prcpar-
ations had been observed. and minute
precautions were taken by the allies
to hold their main position. When the
attack began. the French fell back on
these, and the Germans were unable
even with their best divisions to mako
any impression on the defenders ex-
cept about Prunay.
This small result. considering the ma
ture of the attack. Is regarded very
favorably by the allied STATS. while
the French army holding this portion Of
the battle front displays the fulles
confidence that any further attempt b,

DEMONSTRATION AGENTS
TO TEACH WAR COOKING

When the women of the state are
asked to save food, especially wheat,
they do SO willingly. provided they
know how. and SO the government has
supplied Demonstration Agents to
teach the housewives how they may
carry out the suggestions for conserva-
ton. rs,
This spring the demonstrations given
by the agents consisted chiefly in
showing the women how to use the
substitutes and how to make war
breads. Recipes of the war breads were
sent to the women in charge of the
demonstrations to be given a week or
two In advance Of the meetings. and
they In turn gave them to three or four
women and asked each to bake loaf
and bring 1t to the demonstrations
where the loaves were sampled and
discussed. At the demonstrations the
agents emphasized the Importance of
saving wheat. meat. fats and sugar,
and proved to the women that dishes
made without wheat are much more
appetizing than those made with
wheat
In short time, during the summer
canning months, canning demonstra-
tons are to be given. Judging from the
requests that have been received,
women are very anxious to use the
Cold Pack method of canning and are
apparently willing and enthusiastic to
can all the vegetables and fruits they
can. This Is one of the most agreeable
means of conserving food. With the
pantry shelves all stocked up with
vegetables, it will not seem so hard
next winter to economic on wheat and
meat
The work of these agents is not
wholly food conservation, but also to
assist in conservation of clothing, fuel,
and health. They assist in garden cam
paigns, in developing markets, and in
all movements carried on in counties
to promote new enterprises.
Wherever they went, the demonstra-
ton agents were we'll received. The
women all seemed interested and were
eager to do their bit after they found
out why it should be done, and how
they could do it.
