Allies Penetrate
Depth OF 3 Miles
(By Associated Press.)

London, Aug. 2.-Yesterday's Fran
co-British attack on the westerly side
of the Marne salient on front OF
five miles, penetrated to a maximum
depth of three miles, according to
news received today, which resulted
in the capture of the entire ridge be-
tween Ourco and Aisne. The French
also captured Neikmiere wood north
OF Goussancourt, at about the center
Of the salient.
The advance by the Allies Is de-
scribed as extremely important, pos
sibly the most important thing ac-
complished since the Germans re-
tired from the Marine. The Importance
lies in the fact that the new Allied
positions command the whole area tt
the northward and will take in the
flank and rear of the entire westerly
gate through which the Germans have
been retiring This area is a nest o.

YIELD OF eERMN CORN CROP
HAS BEEN REDUCED

New York, Aug 2.-The yield Of
the German corn crop has been re-.
duced and is barely sufficient for the
feeding the population, according to
a statement made by Privy Councillor
Kleinert of the Imperial German Bu-
reau before the Food Committee Of
the Reichstag, according to the Ber-
lin Tageblatt of June IA,
In reply to demand by the bour-
geoisie parties that the farmers be al
lotted larger quantity Of a certain
kind of corn (called in German Hin
terkorn, black corn as this would
have a conciliatory effect in view of
he many enforced deliveries and
numerous compulsory measures,
Kleinert said that he socalled "Hin-
terkorn" could not be released in
general for fodder purposes, for the
reason that unfavorable experiences
had been made in that respite in 1916
Notwithstanding a careful system OF
control extraordinarily great Difficult
ties we're encountered and these diff
ficulties would increase now that "the
situation as a whole is more tense
than in 1916 and that the total yield
of our crop has been further reduced
and barely suffices for the feeding
of the population"

MANY "oDD JOBS" IN THE ARMY


Aug. 2.-Life on active service is not
entirely composed, as some people
are inclined to imagine, Of fighting,
of sitting in trenches, of resting in
bittets, of marching, eating and
sleeping. It is true that the main
activities Of the soldier are comprised
in the above list, but here are count
less other duties which he is called
upon to PERFORM which might
be called "odd jobs" and some Of
which .:are distinctly odd.
The days of camp-followers, who
used to perform the more menial
tasks of the battle zone, are gone
never to return The soldier must
now be his own newer of wood and
drawer of water He must attend
himself to all the little details Of life,
the cleaning of his quarters, the dig.
ging of trenches, the carrying of his
food. Brbken trenches must be
mended, fresh trenches dug, and dug
outs built. All these odd jobs, which
the soldier is called upon to do in
what would otherwise be his spare
time, he sums up under the compre
hensive heading of fatigue.
Fatigue duty, as the name implies
is not often light or restful form Of
