the German ships which was seized by the Government at the opening of hOstilities with Germany, was us- ed for. the staging of scenes in Me- tro's great screen spectacle, Lest We Forget" starring Rit Jovilet, which comes to the Hauber Theatre on Saturday and Monday. The Mar tha Washington is one of the largest vessels taken over and renamed by the United SMtets.
 Owing to the prevalence of spies and mischief makers of all sorts, visitors were excluded from the alien ships interned in the port, but in the case of Miss Jovilet, the Gov ernment lifted the ban, as Lest We Forget" is a vivid screen presenta- tion of the causes contributing to the American entry into the war
 This leviathan was. used for the staging of scenes showing the panic of the passengers on the ill-fat9d Lusitania, the sinking of which forms one of the impressive specta- cular features in this wonderful pie ture. In picturing the disaster, the icy waters of New York Bay provided a realistice setting for the scenes showing the escape of passengers from the sinking ship. At one time there were two hundred people floun- Aering about in the water before the Battery of cameras. A host of ex- pert swimmers was engaged to swim ln these waters scenes Many sensa- tional and thrilling scenes of real ism were staged on the borrowed liner.

Food Supply
 Of Huns is
 Big Question
Doubtful If Supply Will Last German People and
 Army One Year More.

Amsterdam, Oct. 31 Correspond ence of The Associated Press J. Whether the German food supply is sufficient to last for another year of war is being debated in German news papers with signs of apprehension.
 "CalculatiOns warrant the belief that we can hold out provided the most stringent measures are taken to regulate clandestine traffic in foood," says the Cologne Volkdeitung. Its estimate is based on figures show ing the German food supply collected by Stegerwald, member of the Prussian Diet.
 "Nevertheless,' adds the paper. "Stegerwald's figures show that we have Siegfried position also at home." The significance of this lies in the fact, that the Siegfried position on the western front went down be- fore Allied attacks.
 After endeavoring to bolster up the waning confidence of the Germans, the Volkszeitung says:
 Meat distribution must be further curtailed. Cattle have decreased three million head compared with last year while the number of pigs has been very seriously reduced. Meatless days must be maintained and con- sumption of game and poultry placed under much more severe control. Measures must be devised whereby all classes will be treated alike and cladestine slaughter be ruthlessly suppressed.
 "The Ukraine remains doubtful factor and from Rumania next year only corn is expectable but both coun- tries are able to export different Kinds of foodstuffs."

two German attacks in their twelfth
day and night of fighting. They took
fifty prisoners, including a captain, and

The enemy suffered heavy casualties.
There were soma American victims,
chiefly from the heavy bombardment Of
Bouresches last night.
The haul in prisoners resulted from
a company of Germans quietly filter

and after brief fight the German cap

The bombardment of Bouresches, in
which some eight-inch shells were used,
was believed to presage an attack in
force, but the only fighting that fol-
lowed was when a company of Germans
appeared at the edge OF the city early
this morning, due to losing their way.
When discovered the Germans tried
to attack. Their pugnacity lasted only
few minutes under the withering fire
They fed, leaving the ground strewn

out being able to reach the Allied
lines west of the Disc.

Fourteen hundred more prisoners

west of the Disc.

On the whole, the fighting along the
battlefront yesterday seems to
have been less severe than on pre-
yious days. The fourth German
offensive of the year appears to
be about over.
The German armies have not yet re-
covered from the terrific blow on
their flank south of Montdidier
which gave the French guns on
the heights before Merry positions

German centre in the thrust tow

The greatest change in the battle
line reported yesterday was just
south Of the Aisne, where the
Crown Prince, using five divisions,
succeeded in penetrating LAYER
sine, Ceouvres and st. Pierre
Aigle, but further efforts broke
down with heavy losses. The di-
version, evidently designed to
draw Foch's reserves southwark,
has seemingly only local signif-
canoe, failing before the stubborn
resistance Of the French.
The Americans northwest Of Cha
teau Thierry broke up a violent
German attack en- their new posi-
tions between Bouresches and
Belleau Wood, and inflicted seri-
Gus losses on the attacking forces.
Everywhere Pershing's troops
held their gains.
The Germans have captured more
than $4,000 prisoners and $50
guns in their advance along the
Disc. Berlin announced yesterday.
The loss Of some German guns
during French counter attacks
was admitted in the German Off
cial statement.
On the northern battlefront near
Ypres, after comparative quiet
for several weeks, the Allied ar
mics pushed forward at two
points, the French improving
their positions east Of Dickebusch
Lake and the British advancing
a short distance with small cost
southwest of Merris. Prisoners
