BRITISH ACROSS HINDEN-
BIJRG LINE: ST, QUENTIN

London, Sept. lS.-The British have
crossed the Hindenburg line mt two
points-at villeret and at Gouzeau-
court. The depth of their penetration
beyond there, however, is not report
ed. In their attack today northwest
of st. Quentin the British scored on an
average OF from two and a half to
three miles on a i5-mile front, accord
ing to reports up to this hour.
The town of Ephy toward the north
ern part of the front under attack was
almost surrounded by the British this
afternoon.
Vielerette was taken by the advanc-
ing forces as were lie Verguier Rons-
soy and Berthacourt.
The town of Hargicourt was cap
tured by the British. The front under
attack ran from Holnon Wood west Of
st. Quentin northward to Gouzeau-
court. The British attack took them
far nearer the line from which the
German offensive started. Prisoners
reported numbered 1900.

fact that virtually all of the men he

HUN SHOWS REGARD
FOR AMERICAN ARMY
BY PLAIN UNEAS|NESS

With the American Army, Sept. II.
After having pushed our position
ahead by local actions yesterday. the
front of the American army across
the base Of the former st. Mihiel sa-
lient today is being established along
the line of the region of Manaculles,
Fresnes, Wadonvile, Donicourt, Woel,
South, Haumont through Bois de Beny
Xatmoes, Julny and north from Nor
roy TO the Moselle.
The Germans are showing a whole
some regard for the Americans by
evident uneasness along the front. The
enemy is making frequent raids, and
strengthening his line hourly to guard
himself against whatever the Ameri-
cans might do. This anxiety is not
confined to this front, but in the Vos-
CUES and to the south much activity
is observed back of the German lines,
showing the German command is wor-
ried about us. The scattered raids are
evidence they are all up in the air.
Within the past "a hours three raids
by the Germans resulted in not only
our repulsing their attempts, but we
took prisoners and bettered our po-
stons. We registered beneficial ad-
vances, particularly at both ends of our
new lines.
Our new front runs parallel to the
Germans new positions along the old
Hindenburg line from the heights of
the Meuse to the Mosele. Between
our line and the boche lies "a siZable
No Mans Land which our patrols are
controlling, although our holding posi-
tions are behind our advance patrol
bodies. The boche is showing little
disposition to fight in front of the
Hindenburg line except in rare in
stances. In one of these our men ran
into a machine gun nest which did
damage before it was eXterminated.
American cavalry and tanks are help
ing to maintain our domination on the
strip of terrain.
Our aeroplanes and observation bal
looms reports heavy German move
ments back of the Hindenburg line,
and evidence is not lacking that plans
are made to prepare for further with
drawal should il be deemed necessary
by Hindenburg. German artillery has
/ been active in the past "a hours, she'll
ing our back areas and the towns we
occupied in the last three days. This
brought the remarkable spectacle of
French civilians evacuating towns af-
ter remaining there four years under
German occupation. This is because
the Germans are now shelling those
towns heavily, while during the past
four years allied gunners have not
trained upon them. The boche gunners
appear to have n special grudge at
Thiaucourt. Shells began arriving in
great numbers there yesterday, falling
all around.
Boche airplanes have been very ac-
tive in the past "a hours. 1t appears
that some of the kaiser's best bird
men have been brought post haste to
the salient and in large numbers are
disputing our air supremacy. Hun
dreds of planes on both sides can be
seen in the air all along the front
and, of course clashes are very fire.
quent. The boche is sticking to the
plan to fight only when in superior
numbers.

BUY SMALL PACKAGES

The sugar situation in the country
is still very tight. We need to save
every pound that we possibly can. The
heavy drains are made upon the sup
ply to furnish candy to satisfy the
American sweet tooth. 1t is charac-
teristic of our people to buy generous
ly, and often to overeat. This is par
ticularly true of our luxuries.
Candy is ordinarily packed in one,
two, three and five pound packages for
sale. Years ago we never thought Of
buying more than one pound at time.
During more recent years when money
has been easier the larger packages
have become popular. If one buys
more than he needs Immediately he
will eat little bit more than will sat
isfy his sugar craving, just because II
tastes good. ! want to urge the candy
merchants in this state to abandon the
larger packages. Don't put up any
thing larger than one pound boxes, and
if your customers ask you for larger
quantities try to sell them something
else.
At the same time. candy buyer,
should remember the need to America
and its allies for sugar and when they
are going to buy box of candy buy
little one and make it do. We dom
want to be bit unreasonable; in fact
we want to be thoroughly reasonable
In ninety nine cases out Of one hun
dred one pound box will be all yol
will need. Make il do and help t.
win the war by the least little bit o
self denial.
Take counsel for your patriotism
rather than of your pride in buying
for I think that il is pride more thai
anything else that prompts most peo
pie in buying candy in excess of thei
real desires. feel that we can max
it test of the patriotism of the con
fectioners of this state that they vii
help to conserve by limiting their sale
and of the people that they do thei
part to conform with these sugges
tions. RALPH &. ELY,

important case in which the court had

FOOD GOING TO WAR
STRICKEN COUNTRIES

Washington, Nov. l9.--Ships carrying
of northern France, Belgium and Aus
tria, now are en- route to Europe. They
are proceeding under sealed orders to
Gibralter and Bristol channel ports, and
on arrival will await word from Food
Administrator Hoover as to their final
destination. Those going to Gibralter
are expected to proceed to Adriatl. and
Mediterranean ports, and the others to
French and Belgian ports.
One of the last acts of Mr.. Hoover
before sailing last Saturday for Europe
was to appoint a special shipping con-
mittee, headed by Theodore Whitmarsn
of the food administration, to cooperate
with the shipping board and the com
| mission for relief in Belgium, in facili-
tating the shipnrent of food to the de-
moralized civilian populations in the
countries devastated by war.
Neither the number of ships involved

portion that would be diverted at Glib
ralter for relief of southern Europe and
the near east, could be learned at the
food administration. 1t was stated that
final arrangements for feeding the peo-
pies freed from the yoke of German mil
itarism are awaiting the arrival of Mr..
Hoover in Europe and the result of his
| survey of the situation there.
The purpose of sending some a the
ships to Gibralter and others to the
British channel ports, it was explained, ,
was to have Immediately available at
convenient ports supplies to ship quick
ly where Mr.. Hoover finds the need to
be most urgent.
Officials here of the commission for
. relief in Belgium believe the destina-
tion of the ships on their way to Glib
ralter is the port of Trieste. The ships
now on their way are understood to be
the first that have left American ports
with food for countries other than
northern France and Belgium. 1t was
said that more than 100000 tons of food
monthly will be required to relieve dis
tress in central Europe and the near
| east.
Increased shipments from American
ports and the Argentine for the people:
of liberated northern France and Bel
GUM were begun several weeks ago.

Popcorn Confection

The above menu may not suit the
taste of many of our own people, but
they can change it in many different
ways. During the past summer great
many vegetables have been dried and
canned. The perishable vegetables that
have been stored in the cellar can he
used for the main vegetable dish and
some of the green variety, either dried
or canned, can be used with them. In
that case it would not be necessary to
have lettuce salad to furnish the
green for the meal and fruit salal
with cream dressing would take is
place.
This Thanksgiving should be special
opportunity for all of us to show our
real appreciation of the work our boys
and allies have done for us, and our
Thanksgiving dinner should be the out
ward sign of our inward thankfulness.

Protection from the severe storms
