the twelve inch rifles have an esti-
mated range of not less than $4,000

proportionately greater range. Larger

Mr. Heney declared later in the day
that at least six men with salaries

posts in the food administration.
, These men, he indicated. were placed
in the food administration for no other
Purpose than TO head Off any action
which would be detrimental to the
packers.
The day was taken up in the read

clared to be the foundation of a case
in which he will attempt to prove that
the packers have set out not only to
control the workings of the food ad-

packing concerns, but also to get con-

HOW To ECONOMIC
IN USE Of SUGAR
HOME ECONOMICS AGENT HERE
SAYS EXCELLENT SYRUPS CAN
BE MADE ENTIRELY WITHOUT
SUGAR

Home made fruit juices take no SUI
gar and can be used in the winter
months in a variety of ways, accord
ing to Miss Rowena Long, home econ
omics agent for Sumter county
One important usa for fruit juices
is in the making of jellies at time
of the year when sugar or the substi-
tutes may be more plentiful and
when it is more convenient to do the
work. In this way freshly-made iel-
lies may be available all through the
winter.
Fruit juice may be pressed out of
fruit by means of a cider press, spe-
cial fruit press, or other improvised
presses; then heated in an acid-proof
kettle up to 10 degrees F. The fruit
juice may then be poured into ordi-
nary hot jars, hot bottles, or tin
cans, and handled by the same direc-
lions as those for canning fruit it.

News Review of the Great War

strong force of English and Scots
troops down from the north, and they
! quietly slipped around south of the
Marine toward Reims. At the ap-
pointed time these seasoned fighters
hit the German lines southwest of the
cathedral city a mighty blow. In the
succeeding days, acting as the east
arm of the pincers, they pushed for
ward into the salient from the Noun
tain of Reims toward Ville.en-Tarde-
noiS and FismeS. Their progress was
slower than that of the Franco-Ameri-
cans on the west. for the country in
which they were fighting was much
more difficult East of Reims the
French and Italian held their own
and even made some advance, though
the plan did not call for drive by
them.
d
When Foch's offensive was a week
old it appeared probable that Luden-
dorff would attempt to make at least
temporary stand on the half-circle
running from scissors through the
outskirts of Oulchy, below Fere-en-
TardenoiS and across toward the
Mountain of Reims. Competent OBJ
servers believed his troops were too
disorganized to hold this line for long,
and that he would be forced to fall
back to the Vesle river, which runs al
most due west from Reims, joining
the Aisne near scissors.
The main efforts of General Won
Boehm, the immediate commander of
the Germans in the salient, were di-
rected to keeping open the roads of
retreat. He. was given the assistance
not only of most of the crown princes.
reserves, but also of nine divisions
from the army of Crown Prince Ru
precht of Bavaria. Already he was
having great difficulty in feeding the
men he had there, and the additions
did little but stiffen his resistance and
add to his commissary troubles.
At the time of writing, the full scope
of General Foch's plans is not re-
vealed. He has the Initiative, and may
elect to continue the offensive with
all his strength in the effort to drive
the Huns beyond the Aisne and as
much farther as they can be forced;
or he may find it prudent to hold them
at the Vesle and await the arrival of
more Americans. 1t is noteworthy
fact that 20 per cent of the allied
troops engaged in the present battle
are French. A considerable portion
of the remainder are British and Ital-
ians. If so much can be done with so
comparatively small force of Ameri-
cans taking part, ask observers, what
will happen to the Huns when mil
lion Americans are in the fighting line
and another million at least waiting
their turn for action? And this state
of affairs will be reached by October,
it is predicted
