FRENCH AIDED BY L. S. BAT
TERIES CAPTURE GERMAN
TRENCHES

On the battle front in France the
I fighting activity between the British and
! Franch and the Germans has assumed
somewhat violent proportions on at least
two sections, with the forces of Field
, Marshal Haig and General Petain the
aggressors. Probably the heaviest en-
counter was in the Champagne region,
where, aided by American batteries,
which gave the French every effective
support the French have captured and
organized German trenches southwest of
the Butte Dumesnil. The German Off
cial communication admits the loss Of
this ground.
North of Lens, the famous coal min
ing region, the British and Germans
again have met in sharp encounter, but
no details Of it have yet come through.
The artillery activity continues heavy on
numerous sectors from Flandefs to the
Swiss border.
The mention of American artillery as
being engaged with the French against
the Germans in the Champagne is the
first indication that United States forces
were in the battle elsewhere than east
of St. Mihiel, which is miles distant from
the Champagne front. The presump-
ton is the American artillerists are in
training with the French preparatory to
joining their comrades in their own Sec
tor.

ASK RED CROSS
DONATIONS ON
MEMORIAL DAY
Money to Be Spent on Flow
ers for In Memoriam
Gifts.

While the Red Cross drive" is
officially ended gifts will not be re-
fused at any time from anyone
wishes to tender them. Memorial
gifts today are particularly desired
in memory not only of those who
have died in this war and In former
wars. but in memory Of those who
have died in peace.
ut has been suggested that the
money that might be spent In
flowers for the graves Of the dead
be offered in memoriam gifts for the
living who are suffering in this
war;" said H. B. F. MacFarland.
Flower Sales Suggested.
Another way has also been sug-
gested-that those who raise how-
ers near the cemeteries sell them
for for the beneht Of the Red Cross
to those who desire them for the
graves of their dear ones.
Many last year sent tributes to
Grant and Farragut to whom they
were not related. said Mr.. Mac
Farland. Certainly in some way we
could add to all our gifts in re-
membrance of those whom We have
loved and lost"
All In memoriam gifts can be sent
to H. B. F. Mcfarland. chairman OF
the Red Cross War Committee, in
the Evans Building. and they will
be duly acknowledged.
Bernard Baruch, another Of those
who at the last minute made a sec
ond contribution to the Red Cross
received the following letter from
H. B. F. mcfarland.
Dear Mr.. Baruch: We appreciate
deeply your generous act in giving
the entire $4,000 which you had set
apart for the American Red Cross
Second War Fund through our Wash
ington committee. When you told me
six weeks ago that you hal accepted
the principle We presented that those
like yourself here for war work should
give in part at least through the ma
tional Capital, hoped that you might
give at least one-half through US.
Largest Gift.
when you told me on the opening
day of our campaign that you had
determined to give $4,000 in all and at
least one-haIf, or $500. through our
committee, l hoped that YOU might
finally determine to give II all
through US. You have fully met our
hopes and in so doing have greatly
encouraged US and stimulated the
giving OF others. This is the largest
gift in amount, although as always
the largest gifts in proportion are
those of the very poor.
ION behalf of our committee,
thank you heartily for taking such
a part in our campaign. 1t was
typical of the generous cooperation
Of many OF the other splendid volun-
teers who are serving the country
and humanity so effectively and al
such sacrifice in the executive gov
ernment"
