single handed, made an incursion into
the village Thursday afternoon and
brought back the report that it was
deserted. This was confirmed by the
larger patrol this morning. The priv

who conducted this mornings patrol,
learned what the lieutenant planned
to do and decided to beat him to the
village.
Immediately after dinner Thursday
the private slipped out from behind
the American barbed wire and
crawled across No Mans Land with
out being observed. He reached Apre-
mont, crawled about the outskirts and
returned with the information that
only few Germans were there. The
patrol this morning encountered two
Germans in the village. They re-
treated hastily when the Americans
attempted to- capture them and sig
nailed for a barrage fire which was
laid across the path of the patrol as it
returned to the American lines.

which began to plant trees throughout
the peninsula, movement which Is
still going forward and which has
proved to be the salvation of the land.
Mountain frs were first planted and
these were succeeded by red spruce
from America. These trees serve as
living barrier against the fierce sand

The interior of the peninsula is fast

T UTLAND, the low-lying, sandy
peninsula whose name histori-
ans probably will employ to des-
fgnate the great naval battle
fought off it's shores by the British and
Germans, is the continental portion of
Denmark and comprises nearly two
thirds the area of the kingdom (exclu-
sive of colonial possessions), but with
considerably less than half the total
population. 1t compares with Vermont
in size, but has density of population
three times as great, says bulletin OF
the National Geographic society,". Its
most striking physical characteristics
are the fjords which cut into the sandy
seaboard, particularly on the west
coast. OF these the largest, Limfjord,
is today q misnomer for since 1922 it
has been a sound, joining the waters of
the North sea with the Kattegat and
making an island of the extreme north
ern portion of the peninsula which ter
inmates in cape called the Skaw.
Owing to the character Of the soil on
both banks, the rapidly of the current
and the violent impact Of the floating
ice in the spring, only pontoon bridge
spanned this sound at Aalborg until
recently.
The highest point of land in Jutland,
which is also the highest in the king
dom, is a 564-foot 'eminence'' in line
of low hills near the center of the pen

Ancient Home Of the cimbri.
Jutland was the ancient home of the
warlike Cimbri, tribe which for IL
years kept Rome in state of panic,
and which was the first Germanic host
to make it's way across the barrier OF
the Alps into northern Italy, antici-
patlng the descent of the Visigoths by
five centuries. The Cimbri came with

Sweetness" ls Needed For Gamers
and Housewives For Preserving.
Save the sugar. That Is one Of the
patriotic duties for Delawareans as
much as refralnlng from wheat. There
is sugar enough for your coffee and
tea If used Judlciously, but none to
waste or spare for luxuries. The Food
Administration Is endeavOring to pro-
vide enough sugar for the Gamers
and housewives, now that the canning
season is approaching. and the wisest
discretion will have to be used In or
der that there shall be enough.
Some manufacturers using sugar
have already learned that they have
exhausted their share until July l.
They were instructed months ago to
use but so per cent Of their normal
supply, but some paid no heed to the
advice. As a result they find them
selves without sugar to continue their
business for the next four weeks.
These manufacturers were prohtlng
while their patriotic competitors were
