FRENCH SMASH FORWARD
Blow Northwest of KENNEL Nets
PeiIus 400 Prisoners.

London. May 21.-The French Sun
day night delivered smashing blow
against, the, German front northwest
Of Kennel, in Flanders, netting them
more; than 400 prisoners in an adj
vance: over a front Of 1000 yards.
This important progress was made
eastEand northeast of the village OF
Locre, which is the pivot Of the allied
front protecting the southern flank OF
the Ypres salient. The success de-
prives the Teutons of valuable ground
which would have served them as
jumping off terrain in the impending
drive. 1t bars the approaches to Lo-
ere even more firmly and adds to the
possibility of a French drive againss
KENNEL il and when the moment IS
deemed favorable.

HUN PLANE DROPS
Great Air Raid on London by Gothas
Does Little Damage.

London, May 21.- The Evening
News, commenting On Sunday nights
German air raid on London, in which
thirty-seven persons were killed and
1916 injured, says:
ut is only an incident in the great
air duel now being fought" A curl
ous feature of the raid was that a
nightingale sang throughout the bar
rage of the anti-aircraft guns. Three
bombs fell on the countryside IN
Kent and two in the sea.
Last nights raid" says Central
news dispatch, "was one of the most
ambitious attempts yet made by the
enemy against London"
The damage in London is described
as small in comparison with the mag
nitude OF the effort.
The Star says the destruction of
four of the raiders marks and i'm
provement in the London defenscs,
and gives hope for further improve
nents.
a Central News dispatch says the
inhabitants of country towns watched
a thrilling fight between British
machine and a German raiding plane,
in which the latter was compelled to
turn back in its flight toward London
and was brought down, after spec
tacular machine gun duel at close
range. The German machine crashed
to the countryside.

WILSON NAMES GENERALS

Full Rank Now Possessed by Three
Officer in U. S. Army.
President Wilson Yesterday made
nominations which will provide the
United States army with three Off
GERS of the high rank of general. He
also separated the aircraft division
from the Signal Corps before the ink
was dry on his signature to the
Overman bill which provided author
ity for the latter step.
Major General Peyton c. March was
named to be chief of staff. The Office
carries the rank of full general. Gen
eral March has been serving as act
ing chief of staff since Major General
Tasker II. Bliss went to Europe.
General Bliss was nominated to be
brevet general and designated as
permanent representative Of the Unit
ed States on the Interallied War
Council, which meets at Versailles.
General John J. Pershing, as Com
mander-in- Chief Of the American ex-
peditionary forces, already carries the
rank of full general. The promotions
for March and Bliss are said to have
become necessary on account Of the
constantly increasing responsibility of
American commanders for the con-
duct CT the war.

RAOUL LUFBERY KILLED
Leading American Flyer Shot Down
by German Triplane.


Paris, May 21-Major Raoul Luf-
berry, the first American ace to be
killed as the result of an aerial fight
was buried yesterday with full mill
tary honors by French and American
attachments.
Major Lufbery, who had been re-
garded as the best aviator in the
American air service, was shot down
in flames and killed by big German
triplane which he was attacking. Luf-
berry jumped from his flaming ma
chine when 500 yards above the
ground. He had Is victories to his
credit.
The German machine which brought
Lufbery down, which was armed with
two machine guns with an operator
for each piece, apparently escaped.
Lufbery's only wound, aside from
those received when he crashed to
earth, was bullet hole through the
thumb. Apparently the same hul!a-
punctured one of the gasoline tanks o.
his machine.
The German machine was under
heavy anti-aireraft fire several times
both before and, after the air fight,
and one explosion of shell upset the
enemy plane, but it managed to
straighter out again.

1t has been hoped by federal officials

The American Chemical society, an
organization composed OF the leading
1900 chemists of the country, which
is also back of this movement, has is
sued an appeal to the people not under
any circumstances either during the
war or after the war to use platinum
jewelry but to conserve this unique

MUST CUT IN WHEAT
Need for Limitation in Consump-
ton Very Great.
Food Administration correots False
impression Given by Recent
News Dispatches.

ashlngton.-Recent press dispatch
es widely circulated through the coun-
try have given the wholly false impress
sion that there is no longer need for
rigorous conservation of wheat and
flour. The food administration de-
clares that every aspect of the wheat
situation, both present and prospec-
tive, intensifles the need for the great
est possible limitation in the American
consumption Of wheat and wheat prod
ucts. If present restrictions should be
in the slightest degree relaxed 1t would
result in serious want for the people
Of Europe before the new crop can
reach the market.
The food administrators estimate
of the position on the first Of June In
dicates a total available supply until
the new harvest, including the grain
which will be available from the farms,
in country and terminal elevators, and
mill elevators, of about 56,000.000 bush.
els. OF this 100000 bushels must
be exported before new wheat is avail
able for export If we are to maintain
the absolutely necessary shipments to
our army and the allies. That leaves
about 100000 bushels for domestic
consumption for the next two months.
Normal American consumption is
something over 100000 bushels d
month, so that the most liberal con-
sumption at home would be only one
third of normal.
The harvest will not be generally
available in flour until the middle Of
August or early September, although
in the extreme South it will be some
what earlier. So long as the war lasts,
with It's increasing drafts for soldiers
and munition workers, the world will
steadily produce less food. If we are
wise, q great harvest will mean the
willing building up Of great national
reserves.

Life In France; Paris as 1t Eats i'd

"Who would have thought possible
before the war world city in exist
ence two days' march behind the bat
tie front? During the first war weeks,
after the governments departure to
Bordeaux, Paris had been somewhat
deserted. But since then everything
is back. The big hotels never did
better than just now. In the streets
there is q traffic that has never been

"The Partisan long ago became used

there was a time when women were
the only ones who added color to a
street scene. Man gets used to every
thing. After while one found the
dark streets quite natural. One paid
the high war prices without blinking.
One submitted to the necessity of a
sugar card and learned to get along
with a moderate coal supply in win

Lately, however, the Partisan ex-
perienced things that reminded him of
the war rather impressively. The
latest visit Of German airplanes re
