Ammunition Rushed Forward

Behind us came two small auts
trucks containing thousands Of
rounds of ammunition for our ma
chine guns, which were placed under
cover of the heavy atmosphere dur
ing the early afternoon. The
weather prevented the enemy OBJ
serving the movement from air-
planes and sausage balloons.
Traversing the next village, it was
necessary to proceed at snaiPs
pace, continuously passing the silent
snakelike khaki stream whose feet
were beating a rhythmic tramp,
tramp, tramp, occasionally audible
above the din of the guns ahead, and
slowly retreating grumble of our
heavies in the rear.
At times as the darkness settled
this silent line of Americans
! whose identity had narrowed down
to the small metal tags each man
wore around his neck, was hardly
visible, so we'll the khaki blended into
the blue, red-brown and green Of the
cultivated fields along the roadside.
1t was necessary to await the
darkness to cross the treeless fields
between the rear and the firing line.
The enemy works with fawless maps
and knows every road and every
crossroad, and his artillery fire is
ceaseless.
Passing the marching column and
approaching the next village the
squeal Of the enemy's shells and their
sharp explosions made conversation
impossible. Our automobile pro.
ceeded cautiously, and suddenly
careened into shell holes where the
enemy had sought out the cross
roads and pounded them with tons
Of steel and high explosives. He was
now pounding the village and
through this village lay the route of
our marching column behind.

WITH AN AMERICAN MA
CHINE GUN BATTALION IN
THE FIELD, April 29.-Under a
hot rain of shells American troops
are to-day more than holding their
own in sector in Northern France.
The way they marched into posi-
ton, oblivious of the hellish fire. in
darkness that was a pitch black ex-
cept for the sinister red fire stabs of
bursting shells here and there, is the
best augury of Americas future in
this war.
NO cannon or masses of artillery
IN any of our previous wars have
been able to fire with such rapidity
and precision. Also, those sectors
.,'li which have been previously held by
these same Americans 81 81 tie French
front during the present war were
quiet in comparison with this.
Accompanied by major of a ma
chine. gun battalion, The Tribune
correspondent left the small town in
which the American headquarters
are located at dusk in an automobile.
The red glare Of the artillery fire or
the northern horizon and the con
slant crashing of the American bat
teries in the rear livened the rapidl
approaching darkness.

WILL WEEVL BE
ACTIVE In 1918?
Matter of Sound Judgment and Pa
triOtism to Plant Food and Feed
Crops.

In reply to the questionings now in
the minds of the farmers Of Missis-
sippi regarding the boil weeyil situa-
ton for the coming year, r. W. Harm
ed, head Of the entomology depart
ment of the Mississippi A. and NJ.
College, gives out for the benefit of
Mississippi farmers the following op-
inion of DR.. W. D. Hunter of the Bur-
eau of Entomology of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture:
"In the northern portion of the ter
ritory infested by the cotton boil wee
vii there has been considerable recent
discussion of the probability of in
jury by this pest during the coming
season. The temperatures have been
lower than at any time since 1899,
and the impression has been gained
by many planters that the boil weevil
has been reduced to negligible num-
Der, if not altogether exterminated.
This seems to be having the effect in
some quarters of increasing the cot
ton acreage In the opinion of the
Department of Agriculture it would
be very unfortunate if the boil wee
vii situation should be the cause of
any increase in the acreage in cot
ton. At the present time what is
most urgently needed throughout the
South is the increased production OF
food and feed crops. There is ey-
cry indication that the normal acreage
in cotton will give a supply of the
staple sufficient for all purposes. Ii
Is therefore clearly a matter Of pa
triotism as well as sound judgment
for the planters to increase the &c
reage of food crops rather than ii
cotton.
'As far as the boil weevil is con.
cerned, no reliable prediction can be
made on theAbasis of what rappeneu
durlngrfhe winter. Frequently sea
sons m which very few weevils passeo
sss.s winter have fully followed by
great injury to the crop by the weevn
This has been due to the fact tina,
heavy rains during the early part OF
vhe growing season have made the
conditions so favorable for the wee
vii that they. have more than over.
come their losses during the winter
1t is altogether likely that in special
y sheltered situations, even in tht
Northern Mississippi Delta, a few
weeyils will be able to survive
Whether they multiply to such an ex.
tent as to reduce the crop materially
will depend on subsequent conditions
which cannot be foretoid. Therefor.
the planter who increases his cotton
acreage can by no means tell that HI
crop will not suffer greatly from tnl
poll weevil attack, but he is utiliz
ing his land in a way which does no,
oest serve the interest of the coun.
n.y."
