With the American American Army

Enemy first and second line positions
on part Of the sector east of Lune-

by American artillery fire. After the
raid into the German positions the
American gunners shelled the posi-

Mans Land and found the first and

decided not to molest them.
Artillery firing by both sides on
this sector continued all day.
Deserters Surrender
On the sector northwest of Toul a
number of Germans deserted last
night and surrendered to an American
patrol in certain wood. The Germans
approached the Americans, shouting,

taught throughout the four years Of
the high school course hereafter, in
accordance with bill just passed by
the Philippine legislature. There was
good deal of opposition to the bill,
opponents contending that in planning
courses of instruction emphasis should
be laid on practical necessities, and
English, as the common language, was
all that was necessary. The bill was
formulated, however, with a view to
preserving the language of the nation
al heroes and fostering national
spirit, about which much has beer,
written of late. It's passage will no
doubt be heartily approved.

tanned from the men was the state
ment that during the gas protector at
tack against the American lines on
February 27, 900 projectors were en-
ployed. One-half the projectiles fired
fell within the German lines and the
gas overcamc many of the Germans.
The next day, according to the desert
ers, eleven Germans were killed and
thirty wounded while taking out the
dead.
American intelligence officers are
inclined to doubt the story regarding
900 projectors. American information
is that only seventy-five were used.
Enter Enemy Lines
An American patrol last night en-
tered the enemy first line and re-
NAMED there six hours, but did not
see any of the enemy. 1t is reported
that the Germans recently had con-
structed trenches that are concrete
halfway up on the side. j
Great activity continues behind the
enemy lines. Within the last four days
a number Of rock -crushers ,and con-
crcte-miXers have been brought up
and there are signs that the Germans
intend to construct a number Of new
pill boxes opposite the American
front. Several trains Of material have
arrived at towns in the German lines
during the last twenty-four hours.
Today's reports say that three Ger
man alrplanes flew over various parts
of the American front line at daylight
and fired their machine guns on our
positions. Their efforts, however.
were without result.

Since ,he advent of the latest whca

Even the most optimistic statistlcuns
figured that we had a bare surplus OF

practicing the utmost economy al

Official Red Cross
Bulletin Tells Aims
OF National Society

Members of the Council of National
Defense at Washington recently is
sued to their state organizations a bull
letin defining the official position Of
the American Red Cross in relation tc
the state and national councils Of de
Tense and expressed a hope that the
bulletin could be placed in the hands
Of all members of Red Cross chapters.
The bulletin states, "The official pc.
sition Of the American Red Cross has
been defined by the president Of the
United States as follows: Battlefield
relief will be effected through Red
Cross agencies operating under the SUI
pervision of the war department but
civilian relief will present a field of
increasing opportunity in which the
Red Cross organization is especially
adapted to serve, and I am hopeful
that our, people will realize that there
is probably no other agency with
which they can associate themselves
which can respond so effectively and
universally to allay suffering and re-
lieve disaster.
"The American Red Cross is organ
lied under act of congress. It's presi-
dent is the president of the United
States. It's charter requires that one
third Of the members of the governing
board shall be appointed by the presi-
dent and that there sha ! re orc repre-
sentative of the wa, navy state,
treasury and justice departments. The
entire war council of the United
States is appointed Jy the president of
the United States. Congress, by it's
charter, directed that it should act in
matters of relief in accord with the
military and naval authorities Of the
United States and as a medium Of
communication between the people Of
the United States and their army and
navy. The charter of the Red Cross
provides that it's accounts shall be
audited annually by the war depart
ment.
.''Therefore it is unnecessary for
your council Of defense to call upon
the. Red Cross to report as to, organ
ization,> audit and accounts. The name
Of the Red Cross should without fur
Their preliminaries, appear at the head
of any list of approved organizations
published by your council. Authorize
ton should not be granted to solicit
funds for or otherwise to benefit
the Red Cross unless the request for
such authorization first has the en-
dorsement OF the Red Cross. The pre-
sumption should be strongly against
authorizing any unofficial groups or
organizations to function in the field
occupied by the American Red Cross"
