u. S. MEN FOUGHT
Engine"~9 Poured Scythe-Like
Stream of Lead Into Huns.
Sickened by Shambles, Yet In
flicted Thousands of Casualties.

With the American army in France.
Monday, April S.-The American rail-
way engineers. who helped stem the
tide OF the on-rushing Germans dur
ing the opening days of the battle
now in progress fought shoulder to
shoulder with Canadian engineers, in
carrying out their task. They held
their ground stubbornly and only re-
tired 10 previously prepared positions
when forced to do so and inflicted
casualties by the thousands upon
thousands of Germans as they ad
vanced in close formation, in one place
in as many as seven waves, each wave
ten men deep and 100 yards apart. The
Americans with the Canadians had all
the ammunition they needed and al
tho they We're unsupported by the ar
tillery and armed only with rifles and
with a few machine guns. they
poured scythe-like streams of bullets
into the enemy at several different
times until the weapons were SO hot
as to be useless.
This handful of American soldiers
who were not hardened to such ter
shambles It created. but fought
furiously for several days. helping to
hold the enemy all the way from st.
Quentin to the vicinity of Noyon.
These were the Americans men
toned at the time in the official COM
muniques. but these details of their ex-
ploits it has only now been possible to
secure.

CROPS LOOK GOOD
Weather Office Gives Out First
Report of Season.
Oats Up, Potatoes Planted,
Wheat Is StOOling Out.

kansas was favored by conditions
that were fine for all growing crops
the first week in April, S. D. Flora,
of the Topeka office of the United
his first crop report of the season, is
sued today. Especially were condi-
tons favorable for wheat.
Temperatures were practically nor
NAL, with fairly warm, sunshiny days,
cool nights. and a few frosts- Rains
from a quarter to half an inch fell
over the eastern half and scattered
showers in the western which, coming
after the heavy rains the last week of
March. furnished sufficient moisture
for present needs in all except the
northwestern counties. tho the sub-soil
is very dry in all parts. No particular
damage is believed to have resulted
from the frosts on account of the
earliness of the season.
Wheat Stools Out.
Wheat has improved in all parts
since April and the cool and in many
places darkb weather has given it a
good chance to stool out. In the
south central and eastern parts its
condition is entirely satisfactory, but
in the western counties, in addition to
the large areas abandoned, there are
reports of weeds and grass in fields
becoming serious in some counties.
Sowing oats is finished except in
the more western counties. and it has
come up to uniformly excellent stands
in the eastern. Barley is about all
sown and some of it is coming up, tho
it will need rain shortly. Pastures and
hay crops are starting slowly. Alfalfa
is generally reported to have come
thru the winter in good shape.
Potatoes are planted and in the
eastern counties are beginning to come
up. Early gardens have also been
made. Plums. apricots. and cherries
are blooming.
The soil over the entire state is re-
ported to be in as good condition for
spring blowing as it ever was at this
time of the year and this work is gen
orally two weeks more advanced than
usual. Fields are being prepared for
corn in all parts and in the south
eastern counties planting has begun in
several counties. In the central and
western portions a general scarcity
of good seed corn is reported

still hold Fleurbaix and have thrown
back the Germans at the Iabassee
canal on the southern extremity.
For more than Is months there has
been no heavy operations on this
front Prior to the offensive on the
Picardy 'front.' the Germans bonn
barded this front heavily. Raids and
local attacks they made then were re-
pulsed, by the allied troops. On the
Franco-British battle front below
Arras and across the Somme to the
region of Coucy, there has been no in
fantry activity altho the artillery duels
have been most violent. French ar
tillery broke up a German attempt to
attack near lanyard south of the
Somme, and west of Noyon an enemy
assault was repulsed by artillery.
The German advance between the
Disc and the Ailette' apparently has
been checked by the French.

NEW RUSSIAN FLAG
Red Is Color of Banner to Fly Over
Embassies in Other Capitals.

flag henceforward will be red with
the inscription "Rossiskay Sotzialy-

This was decided upon today in a
resolution passed unanimously by the
central executive committee of the all
Russian soviets- Chairman Sverdloff,
proposing the resolution, said it was
imperative to decide the question of
the flag Immediately ''as the Russian
flag will have to wave over the en-
bassies in Berlin and Vienna, and we
capnot have the old tri-Co.or. SO 1
think it most proper to adop- the red
flag under which we fought and
gained victory"
