ARMY MULES AND HORSES
LEAD MEN IN FOOD NEEDS
Require More to Satisfy Their Hun
ger-Chicago Headquarters for
All Army Forage
By Websters

CHICAGO. March 27-It costs moro
to feed United States Army mules and
horses than it does to satisfy the hunger
of the men themselves.
Millions Of dollars-how many mtrnosn
the forage branch Of the QuartermascaR
Corps here would not say-have alreaGy
been paid for hay. grain and straw sup
piled cavalry mounts and pack and art13-
lery animals since June, 1917. according
to George L Bridge. chief Of the forAos
branch. Mr.. Bridge Joined the natioa's
''dollar-a-year'' men to give to the g.
partment the advantage OF his years -
experience as a purchaser OF hay and
grains. He based his conclusions al to
the relative cost of feeding man and beast
on a basis of 16 cents a meal for each
soldier.
To cope with the gigantic task that
the quartermasters face in keeping Army
animals well fed, a Encouragement Of the
forage division has just been effected
whereby Chicago is made the forage-pur-
chasing center for all Of Americas armed
forces.
From the Philippine Islands to thu
coast of Maine, from the Gulf Of Mex
leo to Montreal, America is collecting
forage for Army horses and mules" he
said. EVERY cantonment and military
station in the country. as well as all Unit
ed States overseas forces, depends upoA
this office for their hay, oats and straw.

AMERICANS HOLD
 ALL THEIR GAINS
Three Counter Attacks Are Re- pulsed With Heavy Losses to Enemy-14 Germans Enter Trench and 10 Are Killed.

American Forces on the French Front, May 29.-Three counter at tacks made by the Germans to retake the ground which they had lost in Picardy on Monday, completely broke down in the face of the American ar tillery fire and the heroism of our in- fantrymen. All the ground won by the Americans on Monday remains in their possession.
 The enemy launched another heavy gas attack against our troops in the Luneville sector early this morning and attempted to reach our line at three places. They were repulsed with comparatively heavy losses.
 The first attack, made two kilo- meters southwest on Premenil, broke down under the hot machine gun fire from the American trenches, the Ger mans retreating. Both the Americans and Germans fought in gas masks.
 Soon afterward the enemy put down heavy barrage kilometer to the west and 14 Germans managed to penetrate a trench in which the Amer jeans on Monday were subjected to gas attack and who were fighting mad.
 The Americans emerged from their dugouts and hand-to- hand fighting, which was bloody for the Germans, ensued, the Americans going for the enemy with knives and bayonets.
 The Germans had been ordered to take prisoners at any cost, but they failed to get any.
 The American losses were insig- nifcant. The enemy lost all the 14 men who penetrated the American position-nine having been killed, one having died of wounds and four hav- ing been made prisoner.

GBlCE LUSK FOUND

uhon Verdict Given she Spring :" ot Throat of Aged Prosecutor
 Shakes Acting Prosecuting Attorney To and Fro.

woukesha. Wis, May 29.-"It's a ro. it's lie against me. he lied; he lied; he lied" Grace Lusk scream d as she sprang at the throat of D. Tullar, acting district attorney, to- n;obt after a jury had found her rn;ltv of second degree murder at her t,ial for staying Mrs. Mary Newman Poherts. The penalty is IA to 25 years in prison.
 Grasping the throat of MT. Tullar, who is more than 60 years old, in botb hands, she shook him back and forth in his chair at the counsel table nntil several men dragged her away, when she tainted, Recovering sev- oral minutes later, her aged father and one of her attorneys attempted to lead her from the courtroom, but she struggled with them, her hair un- fastened, tumbling about her face and as she was half dragged away she screamed
 "That mans son lied; he lied; he lied my life away. Maurice Tullar swore my life away"
 Several hundred spectators, mostly women, stood with tears streaming down their faces during the outbreak. The jury, which had returned the verdict sending Miss Lusk to prison, stood in their places with ashen faces, as though paralyzed. During the second outbreak they shrunk back as she was led past screaming.
 Maurice Tullar, now in sanitar- ium because of i'll health, is the dis trict attorney of Waukesha and at the trial swore that four days after the shooting of Mrs. Roberts he ob-

GERMANS TAKE SO|SSONS BUT
 NOT RAILROAD
Allies Hold TenaciOusly to Pro- tect Line Leading to Paris British, and French General Among 25,000 Prisoners.

New York, May 29.-In their vio- lent attacks on the 30-mile battle front running from Soissons eastward to the region northwest of Rheims the German armies are continuing to force back the French and British on nearly every sector.
 Teh fortified town of Soissons, the extreme left flank of the allied battle line has been occupied by the enemy, although the French are still holding tenaciously to it's western environs, through which emerge the railway lines leading to Paris and Compeigne.
 According to the German official communication, 25,000 prisoners, among them a French and British general, have been taken and many additional towns and vantage points all along the front have been cap tured.
 Seemingly Rheims, like Soissons, also is doomed to fall into the hands of the enemy as the French War Of flee reports that the troops covering the famous cathedral town, which all most daily for several years has been the target for shells of hate from the German guns, have been withdrawn
The Prescott daily news., 1918-05-30

behind the Aisne canal, northwest of the town.
 On the sector directly southeast of Soissons the Germans now are fight ing relatively 12 miles from where they started their drive Monday from Vauxaillon, while further east, near Loupeign, and in the center in the vicinity of Savingy wedges have been driven in to depth of approximately 15 miles.
 The Germans continually are throw ing fresh divisions into the battle, but the British and French troops are keeping up their tactics of giving ground only when it is impossible longer to hold positions under the tremendous pressure of the enemy. Heavy casualties are being suffered by the army of the German crown prince, while the losses of men to the allied forces are described as rela- lively light.
 Although unofficial reports have mentioned the rushing up of rein forcements from the South, there has as yet been no official statement that General Foch is sending in his re- serves.

Mayor Allyn Brown Calls Attention to Suggestions Made by Chairman of State Fuel Conservation Commttee- Ordinance Relating to Electric Signs Adopted by Com Council Pesisionsa Recsived. Monthly Reports Accepted. ess&*es5h

A letter from Chairman Charles e. Bill of the Committe on Fuel Conser- Sation of the Connecticut State Coan- cn of Defense has come to me as mayor of the city of Norwich, through the local fuel administrator, Martin E.

Brown. addressing the court of common council, just after the Jan uary meeting convened in the council chamber Monday night. 4
 While he suggests the possible eall- ing of a public meeting for the. piir- pose of discussing this matter and. to thus bring it to the attention ef the citizens, 1t has seemed to me that in asniuEh as such a meeting would have no power to take effective action, II might better call it to the 'pubiic's attention through an address to the court of common council
 & therefore bring to you and to the people of the city, with the earnest req quest that they be seriously consider ! ed by those whom they may affect, and acted upon where possible, the follow ing of MT. Bills suggestions, which seem pertinent to our focal situation.

WHAT COUNTRY MUST DO
FOR ITS DISABLED SOLDIERS
of Reconstruction Confront American Red
Cross With New Tasks and New Responsibilities.

When American soldiers, blinded In
battle, from their immediate
wounds at the base hospitals in France
special work for them is commenced
Later they are brought to the United
States Military General Hospital No
z, at Baltimore, for further medical
and surgical treatment and special
teaching. The ideal of the government
will be to place every blinded man In
a condition to take care of himself and
those dependent on him. In many
cases, it is hoped, the men will be able
to command a larger salary after TAX
ing their training thar before they lost
their sight.
American Red Cross has supple
mented the Army's plan by creating
the Red Cross Institute for the Blind.
One of its functions will be to provide
certain financial aid to equip the blind
man after his re-education is complet-
ed, as, for instance, furnishing type
writers to those who enter CONNER
cial life. 1t will be unearthing new oc-
equations, helping to establish homes
and arrange home work for those who
cannot go into offices or factories.
But it will do something else that is,
