ton by the French infantry, assisted
by tanks, rectified the French line on
the borders Of the forest.
The statement follows
Local attacks continued during last
evening and during the night. On the
northern outskirts of Karlepont Wood
two German attacks were arrested by
the fire of French machine guns
Other effects in the region of Autre-
ches, east of Donmniers and near
Courcy also were broken up North of
Cuurcy an infantry action, supported
by tanks, enabled the French to rec
tify their line on the outskirts of the
forest.
South Of the Ourcq the Germans
made violent attacks against Chezy
and southeast of this locality. French
troops broke all their assaults, inf1ict-
ing serious losses on the adversary.

EXPECT MANY
TO REGISTER
THIS EVENING
Only 400 Out Of $500 Young
Men Appear at High
School Up to Noon.

OF the $500 young men who are to
register for the draft today not more
than 40 had reported up to noon, al
though the doors of the High school
on Lyon terrace were open at seven
o'clock this morning. 1t is expected
however, that the big rush will be af-
ter the factories close, which means
that the draft boards will have to
register nearly two thousand before 8
o'clock tonight.
According to the figures which were
given out shortly before noon today,
Board had registered 70; No. 2, 60;
No. 8, IS; No. 4, rs; No. 5, 70, and No.
6, 80.
According to the officials in charge
of the registration there are only
about q per cent. foreigners in this
draft as against SO per cent. in the
first draft. All of the boys look clean
cut and healthy and in the opinion of
the officials there will be the smallest
percentage of reflections on record.
Many of the young men registered
today were so eager to be examined
that they were waiting for the doors
of the school to open shortly after
o'clock this morning and the Off
Gals are most enthusiastic over the
spirit displayed by these new re-
cruits for the National Army. They
are all as keen as mustard to get into
tn scrap and although they have quite
a long wait before they will be ever
indicted into the service they are al
ready specializing as to the probable
time when they will be sailing tt
join Pershing in France.
The various boards want to impress
upon those who are to register today
to appear at the High school as sooI
as possible and not wait for the rusf
which is bound to occur before clos
ing time at o'clock tonight.
A detail of 16 policemen was OIL
duty all day at the High school and
no one was allowed to leave the build
ing until he had received a blue car
showing that he had registered. s.
far the work of the various board
has worked smoothly and the Off
cials look forward to making a recor'
before the registration closes tonight

CHAPTER VII.

To complete our misery, we received
orders during the night to attack the
French at 4 rs in the morning. We
made our preparations under a pour.
ing rain. Promptly at A :15 we went
over the top, jumping over corpses and
wounded men. We were forced to re-
tire before hail Of machine gun fire,
and sustaining large number Of un.
necessary casualties.
Hardly had we regained our trenches
when the French attacked us. They
came within three meters of our trench,
and here their attack broke down I'M
der our fire. They too had to retire
with fearful losses.
Three times in two hours the French
attacked, always with heavy losses
and no results. We were at our wits
end. Unless help came soon it would
be impossible. for us TO hold the posi-
ton. We were tortured by hunger and
thirst as well as being wet to the skin
and were so exhausted that we could
hardly stand.

Because we have used up all our
ammunition" was the answer of one of
the battery men.
as 1t impossible to bring ammuni-
ton through this barrage?'
NO" replied the artilleryman, "but
there is no more ammunition. That is
why we cannot get any. At Neufcha-
teau we started like wild men after the
enemy. Man and beast died from the
heat, railroads and other mediums of
transportation were left in their dam
aged condition in the wild excitement
Of victory, as we dashed into the heart
Of France. We raced on, blindly and
thoughtlessly, thereby interrupting
communication with our bases, ran
directly into the trap set for us by the
French. Before the first ammunition
and other relief supplies reach us we
will all be killed"
Up TO this time we had trusted
blindly in the invincible strategy of our
great general staff. Now it was brought
home to us on all sides that the
French were fighting at home, close
to their greatest source of supply, and
had excellent railroad connections at
their disposal. Further than that the
French maintained a terrible artillery
fire from guns of far greater caliber
than we believed they owned. This led
us to the conclusion that they were oc-
cupying positions which had been pre-
pared for long time. Yet we believed
that the picture painted by the artil-
leryman had been too black. We were
soon to know better.
AS we approached the enemy's
trenches, we were met with heavy
machine gun fire, and in double-quick
step hurried to the temporary protec-

particles and amy foreign matter that
may be in it. In order to have the
necessary conclusion the churn should
be only about one-third full. If too
full, the churning period is prolonged
and if the cream foams 1t nearly fills
the churn and prevents concussion. In
that case it is usually necessary to re-
move some of the cream in order to
obtain butter in reasonable time.
Except late in the spring and early
in the summer when butter has nat
urally high color, a small quantity of
butter color Is usually added. In win
ter the quantity required to produce
a shade of yellow like the desirable
June color varies from about 20 to 80
drops per gallon of cream.
The color having been added to the
cream, the churn may be started at a
speed to produce the greatest concus-
sion, which may be determined largely
minute is the usual speed for the COM
mon barrel type of churn. After a
few revolutions the churn should be
stopped, bottom up, and the cork re-
moved to permit the escape of gas.
This is repeated two or three times in
the early stages of churning. AT that
period cream produces very liquid
sound and the glass in the churn is
evenly covered with cream.
When churning is nearly completed
there is noticeable difference in the
sound made by the cream, while on
the glass in the churn thick, mushy
mass will appear, which occasionally
breaks away, leaving the glass clear.
At this point the butter granules are
just forming and the cream is thick
and finely granular, like yellow corn
meal mush, with buttermilk separating
slightly from the tiny granules. The
churn should be revolved several
times, then stopped and the butter ex-
amined In order to prevent overchurn-
ing. When the granules are the size
Of grains of wheat the churning is
completed. To continue the churning
until the butter Is in large masses is
n bad practice, because it Incorporates
quantities of buttermilk which cannot
be washed out The bad effect Of too
much buttermilk in the butter has
been discussed already.

Use the Chicken Fat.

Do you throw away the body fat Of
poultry-big layers of lean, sweet, yell
low fat around the gizzard and else
where around the intestines? If you
do, according to United States depart
ment Of agriculture specialists, you are
throwing away fat which French
housewives consider the finest of fats
for making cakes, and especially puff
paste.
In certain seasons in New York and
other big cities this fat is so highly
esteemed that it sells for comparative
ly high prices. A business is made
of collecting it from butchers and 9TH
ers who dress poultry.
Heated in a double boiler or other
vessel set in hot water, the fat melts
away from the tissues and can be
poured off. 1t becomes rancid easily,
should be kept cool and covered like
butter, and should be used in a few
days. Seasoning in cakes should mask
any flavor In the fat.

Your Poultry House.

Select a location that has natural
drainage away from the building.
A dry, porous soil, such as sand or
gravelly loan, is preferable to a clay
soil.
In most localities the building should
face the south, as this insures the
greatest amount Of sunlight during the
winter.
Allow at least two square feet Of
floor space for each bird.
Proper ventilation and sunlight mean
a dry house and healthy birds.
The partial open-front house is con-
coded to be the best type for most Sec
tons.
The colony plan of housing poultry
may be adopted to good advantage on
many farms. This system does away
with the danger of tainted soil.
The roosts should be built on the
same level, feet and inches from
the floor, with dropping board about
s inches below them.
Good rOosts may be made of by 2
inch material with upper edges round
ed.
The nests may be placed on the side
walls or under the dropping boards.
1t is best TO have them darkened, as
the hens prefer secluded place in
which to lay.

ton Of hastily thrown up dugouts. A
hard rain had set in. The field around
us was covered with dead and wound
ed. Even our trench was filled with
wounded. which made its occupation
by the defenders difficult. Many of
the wounded men were paralyzed from
lying on the Shiny ground. All were
without bandages. They begged for
bread and water but we had none for
ourselves. They pleaded piteously, just
for scrap of bread. Many of them
had lain in this inferno for two days,
without having eaten anything what
ever.
We were scarcely established when
the French attacked en- masse. The &C.
cupants Of these trenches, whom we
had REINFORCED had already repulsed
several Of these attacks. They urged
us to shoot and fred wildly themselves
into the ranks of the advancing masses.
We responded to the exhortations of
the infantry officers: "Fire, fire hard.

guns became red-hot. The enemy
