eggs will be produced. Meat scrap and sour milk are the most satisfac- tory feeds for furnishing the needed protein and one or the other should be included in every winter laying ra- tion.
 The feeds recommended by the poul- try department of the College of Agri- culture for the present season are: Scratch feed, 10 pounds whole or cracked corn, 5 pounds oats; mash feed, 3 pounds bran, pounds shorts 1 1-2 pounds meat scrap.
 Three gallons of milk will take the place of the meat scrap.
 The corn and oats should be fed in deep straw litter to give the birds plenty of exercise in scratching them out. The mash should be fed dry in a hopper or trough where the birds can eat at will. If milk is used, it can take the place of water for drinking. The foregoing ration not only con- tains the proper element for egg pro- duction but it also makes use of the feeds that are cheapest and most abundant.

GERMAN NERVE
SHOT ALMOST TO
STAGE OF PANIC
Public Is Warned 10 Keep
Its Head" "

LONDON, Sept Public interest
today is quite equally divided between
the unbr6ken advance OF the allied ar
mics and the apparent signs tina, the
German people are IN a state OF nervous
anxiety bordering on decentralization.
More editorial space is being given
here recently to future events than the
retreat Of the German army. The be-
lief that something like a panic has
seized the German populace is no,
based upon stories from neutral sources
which have raised hopes in the past but
upon the utterances Of the leaders in
the German nation and the appeals OF
German newspapers 10 the public 10
keep lis head, while they themselves
admit the seriousness OF the military
situation.
The emperor's bold vein Of assurance,
Chancellor Won Hertling's franchise
speech, General Linsinsen's stringent
order, and abov. all, Field Marshal Won
Hindenburgy proclamation, are cited
as manifest efforts TO check the decay
Of the German spirit, which, il Is con
tended, must exist to have called them
forth.
The Times, referring to the Franco
American arrival before the great
pivotal position Of the enemy In France,
OF which the forest OF St Gobain' forms
the glaeis, says a frontal attack in this
forest Is out OF the question and now,
as last night, the French doubtless pre-
fer to go around, but have some very
difficult ground to cover before they
are the Chemin des Danes.

WAR SUMMARY
By The Associated Press.

Aceelerating the flight OF the re-
rstreating GermAns, the British,
French and American armies gained
important new ground last night
and today along the entire front
from the AiSne to the west Of Cam
brAi
In the northern part Of the front
the British have pushed forward on
a front OF more than fifteen miles.
They have driven in hard upon the
left flank Of the German line pro-
teeting Cambrai along the Canal du
NoTd, occupying the greater portion
Of Havrincourt wood and capturing
several additional towns TO the
southwark.
FRENCH IN WIDE SWEEP.
South Of the Somme the French
are reported to have effected q gain
Of an average Of two miles on q
twenty mile front. They took the
important town Of Tergnier, only
IA miles from the Hindenburg line
at La Fere, and swept over several
towns northwsrd toward the Brit
ish front In their progress.
II was beyond the Oise, however,
that General Petain's forces made
their most important gains. General
Mangin's army has a difficult task
before II here, where the Germans
are established IN the extensive
forest Of ST. Gobsin, the key point
Of their defensive system. The
French have already pushed through
the outlying lower fores, Of Coucy,
however, and by taking BsIisis have
begun to press in upon the ST.
Gobain msssif itself.
BEYOND OLD LINE.
Al points along this front the
French apparently have reached
ground beyond the former German
defensive line. The official state
ment from Paris shows them on the
edges Of the upper forest Of Coucy,
also a part Of the ST. Gobain bas-
tion defending Lson, and they are
unoffieially reported to have pushed
into a big stretch OF entirely new
ground in this area The Germans
are desperately resisting here.
On the Aisne the French have
taken the Conde fort and Conde-
sur-Aisne, whence their movement
threatens the Germans still elinsing
to the river to the east along the
front held by the Americans. Thus,
II seems that there can hardly be
more than a momentary halt by the
enemy here, and the reports from
the American front indicate that the
allied lines already are moving
ahead, particularly to the east, to-
ward Rheims, where a movement IL
In progress to force the Germans
out Of the angle south of the Aisne
where they are yet holding.

FIRST AMERICAN
FIELD ARMY TO.

Nearly All Yankees Withdrawn
From Allied BrigadeS,
800 PLANES OVER THERE
Situation Best in Months, Gen.
eraI March Says,

WASHINGTON, sept. 7.-OrganiIa-
tion Of the first American field army
in France, is progressing so rapidb
that General March told members OF
the senate military committee today
nearly IS percent of the American
troops brigsded with the British and
French troops have been Withdrawn
and are being assembled at a point he
did not designate. This accounts for
the small number OF Americans en-
gagged in the present forward move
ment Of the allies
Improvement in the transportation
facilities continues, General March said
The number OF ships in use is being in
creased and the turn around" is being
cut down. Troop ships are now being
unloaded in French ports in three OF
four days. while the time for unloading
cargo carriers has been reduced unit
now from ten to fifteen days are re-
quired. o
General March said 100 airpIane,
have been delivered from factories SC
far. Latest advioes indicate, he said
that 800 American fighting planes are
now in France.
Because OF the gradual withdrawal OF
American troops which have been brig
AIDED with French and British forces,
the senator's said they were told, only
one division-the Thirty-second-ls
now engaged in the present battle.
Situation Much Better.
The situation on the western front,
General March told the senate military
committee today, is more satisfactory
this morning than il has been in
months. Good progress is being made,
he said, and the outlook is very bright.
At no point along the front where the
present battle is raging are the allies
more than twelve miles from the Hin
denburg hne, while upon the upper
part this line has been pierced by the
British troops.
The committee was told that there
are now between 10000 and 10000
American troops with the British
forces
