who is on General Bliss staff. in |
which he tells in the following words
OF our troops:
Il persume that your papers have
been full of the American victory.
Well, II was quite little piece of
work and we are rather proud OF the
way in which IL was carried out and
the way in which the men fought. II
was our first big independent effort
iOf course, many of our divisions
have been in the very heaviest kind
of fighting befor this but with
French or British division on each
side of them. We need never worry
about the fighting quality of the U.
s. soldier but he spends his life
. just like ais money. freely. and our
losses are too heavy.
look for some real big things to
happen very soon and you need not
! be surprised at anything from now
on We really have the Boche on the
run and it is only a question of keep
ing him on the run long enough and

Duck raising Is to be recommend
ed as q profitable source of revenue.
The beginner should start mod
estly, and increase his plant as his
knowledge of the work increases.
1t Is not at all necessary that
to be raised successfully, for they
grow and thrive as readily without.
Growing ducks should be fed four
times a day; mature ducks but
twice a day.
A duck doesn't mind the cold II
she can keep her feet warm. There
must be a dry shelter for the duck
to go to in rainy and wet weather.
Ducks need more room than
hens, for they are constantly on
the go. and cannot get the scratch
ing exercise a hen receives In
rearching for food.
Ducklings can be raised with
mother hens. Fewer duck eggs
can be placed under a broody hen
than chicken eggs. The first three
weeks of a duckling's life is the
most critical. After that it is hard
to kill them-even with an ak. Let
the duckling run with the hen until
three or four weeks old. Then
transfer them to the duck house,
keeping them penned up in the
house for two weeks. After that
let them run from their house to
their yard as they please. II not
too many chickens are kept in the
chicken yard a few ducks can be
turned into that, with their own

bred crumbs, cornmeal, with a trace
of sand, four times a day.
Ducks need grit and oyster shell
and fresh drinking water.
Goose-raising requires more room
than ducks. About the smallest
space available is a vacant lot, al
though persons living near the
city limits can make use of nearby
fields.
The feathers of geese are an i'm
portant source of revenue. A goose
will average about one. pound of
feathers a year. Feathers may be
plucked when there is no blood in
the ends of the quills. They will
then leave the flesh without hard
pulling.
Hens. can be used for Matching
goose eggs and for rearing the
young.
Grass. cornmeaE beef scraps and
anything that is left from the table
will feed geese.
At 10 weeks of age goslings are
ready for the market. Young geese
may be marketed in October.
The house for geese may be
built on simple lines like the duck
house, but allowing more room for
each bird. They need a yard in
which to exercise, and nests larger
than hens nests.
Geese can get along without
water in which to swim, but like
every other fowl need drinking
water always before them

AMERICANS IN ACTION

WITH THE AMERICANS.-On
the Vesle river front our troops to-
day engaged the Huns in a series
of very spirited actions in the Ba-
touches and Fismette regions and
fierce fighting without any letup
took place at all the points attacked.
The Americans gave the Huns no rest
carrying the fighting throughout the
night, making important gains at
some points around Bazouches. Our
boys also captured Fismette, but the
Huns, bringing up strong reinforce
ments during the night, were able to
recapture the place. Fighting of a
most desperate and stubborn char
acter is still in progress, the Ameri-
cans centering their attention to Fis-
mette, the defense of which is stead
lily weakening as result of the
spirited attacks delivered necessarily
by our troops.

RI RAILROAD L WORK
MOVES STEAD|AY
TOWARD Ignite
Nearly Eight Miles of Track Has
Now Been Laid on New Line
Toward Coal Field.

When the day gang quit work
yesterday evening the steel on the
D line had been laid up to station
No. 1858, or a distance of nearly
eight miles, and the work is being
pushed forward as rapidly as con-
ditions will permit.
The railroad builders have now
reached a very swampy stretch of
country and in order that the men
of the steel gangs may be properly
protected against any i'll effects that
may arise from having to work in
the cold water of the swamp, rubber
hip boots have been issued to every
man of the day and night gangs.
The swamp extends for distance
of about three miles, with an aver
age depth of water of about foot;
there are some deep holes in places.
1t is expected that the grade run
ming through this section of the
country will be completed in about
a weeks time.

SPANISH VESSEL
SUNK BY DIVER;
TENSION CAUSED
Tension Growing Between Germany
and Spain; Relations Now At
Critical Stage.

PARASITIC Spanish ship Cruza
has been reported to have been
sunk by a German submarine today,
the time and place of the occurrence
or whether the passengers and crew
were saved is not reported.
The leading French newspapers,
commenting on the latest outrage
against Spain, in spite of the many
vigorous protests sent by the Spanish
government to the German govern
ment, believe that the relations be-
tween the two governments have
now reached very critical stage,
and some action is looked forward
to in the immediate futre An open
rupture is quite probable.
The Spanish authorities recently
notified the German government
that they would make use of intern
ed German vessels to replace tonnage
lost by them through submarine ac-
tivity, which called forth a protest
from the Huns and a promise that
Spanish ships will not be molested n
future. The violation of this prom
Use shortly after it had been made
has caused much bitter feeling in
Spain, and an immediate break in
diplomatic relations is probable.

the British forces have penetrated
farther and taken possession of the
towns of Belloy, Assevillers, Perbe-
court, and Fueilleres, all of which
are within four miles of the import
ant town of Peronne.
Peronne is large town on the
Somme, and on the railroad line

GRADE FINISHED:
CONTRACTOR IN
Dominick Funa-o & Co. Have Now
Completed Their Contract on
the D Line.

Dominick Funaro & Co., who had
been awarded a contract to grade
section of the right of way lying
between station No. D-18892 and
No. 1898 have completed the work
and arrived in town last night for
settlement.
Dominick Funaro, better known
as Joe Funaro, says that they had
a pretty hard job, owing to the fact
that the ground was swampy and it
was hard to get material for the
grade out of the soggy borrow pits.
The mosquitoes were also said to
have been very plentiful in the sec
ton of the country through which
their grading contract ran, and an
noyed the workers very consider
ably.
Joe will try to land another con-
tract for the balance of the season
if possible. He has had several
grading contracts on the grade in
days gone by and has done some
good work ON the government road.

HAM THREATENED

PARASITIC French forces, con-
tinuing their advance have reached
the outskirts of Ham and are now
at it's defenses. Ham
is an important strategic point in
the line of the French advance and
is situated on the canal connecting
the Somme and the Disc. The
French advance towards Ham was
conducted so rapidly that it took
the Huns completely by surprise,
and in their precipitate retreat from
the town of Breuil, five miles west
of Ham, which the French occupied,
they were compelled to abandon
three complete munition trains which
were promptly seized by the French
troops.
