7E Further Gains by Allies.

T24 Further Gains by Allies. "
 Further gains have been made by the allies, including the Americans, but only after the bitterest kind or fighting. And these gains have been considerably less in extent than those of previous days, before the Germans stiffened their retreating armies by rushing numerous fresh divisions to their aid between Soissons and Rheims.
 Particularly heavy has been the fighting in the center of the salient and on the right and left apchor points of thS salient rescting respectively southwest of Rheims and south o4 Soissons It is still on the two anchor points that the Germans are keeping a most watchful eye, fearful that the allied troops may yet press back the line and threaten the armies of the German crown prince with the pincer manoeuvre. 1$
 H Germans Made Slight Gain.
 Tn the center of the pocket north of the Ourcq river the Germans in a counter-attack drove the Americans out of Cierges, but this slight gain was more than overcome later by the pen etration of the Americans northwarf from Sergy. Beugneux, lying on the west side of the pocket northwest ot Fere en Tardenois, also was taken bN the Germans, but later the French ant Americans recaptured it and. witt Grand Rozoy in their possession. they still hold vantage points for a scmal turning movement towards Fere which, if successful would give them goodly number of prisoners.
 Southwest of Rheims the Germans delivered violent attack against tho French from both sides of St. EU 1 phraise. Their effort to capture th' village, however, was futile, although they pushed their line slightly forward on the west side of it.
 Southwest of Ypres the Australian troops are keeping up their attack against the Germans and have captur ed tho town of Morris and with it IS prisoners and a number of trench mor tars and machine guns. The German at last reports were heavily Lombard ] ing the new positions of the British:

To Make Crisp, Brown Toast.

There is crisp, golden brown toast
with a flavor that fingers, toast that Is
so hard as to prove a trial to any but
the strongest teeth, and toast that be-
lies it's name and is soft and soggy.
There is a secret in the making Of
these slices of bread with a crispness
that is so delectable. You cannot use
very stale bread and expect it to re-
suit in toast with just the right de-
gree of crispness. Bread that is too
stale results in hard instead of crisp
toast. Neither al you take perfectly
fresh bread and produce other than
burned toast, soft on the inside. Toast
should never be piled one slice upon
the other. That is the cause of soggy
toast. The best toast is made from a
day or two-old bread, sliced the night
before it is to be toasted. This insures
the surface of each slice to be dry be-
fore tOasting. AS soon as each slice
is removed from the tOaster it should
be placed on edge and kept in a warm
place until served, which should be as
soon after being made as possible.
