Camp Custer, Battle Greek. June
3b-Ons of the most popular and con-
sequentiy successful pieces OF Ger
man propaganda scattered broadcast
in this country was the story that the
food saved through the regulations and
appeals Of the U. s. Food Administra-
fion for the Army and our Allies was
carolessly II not criminally wasted
when 1t reached the army kitchens.
Considerable of the damage Of this
propaganda has been Offset by the per-
ssonal visit OF thousands of parents to
the different camps and cantonments
OF the United States but enough Of
the idea IL still prevalent In the coun-
try to warrant J. w. Hallowell. Of Mr..
lHoovers personal staff, to direct Food
Administrator George A. Prescott, OF
Michigan, to detail one or his organi-
xation to visit Camp Custer and make
an Official report on the food condi-
tions, paying strict attention to the
garbage waste and conservation OF left
over food stuffs.
Custer Adheres to "Siogan."
In no place in America is more re-
spectful consideration given the u. S.
Food Administrations slogan Food
Will Win the War" than right here in
Camp Custer. Food is the first essen
Gial, IL anything ii is more important
than camp sanitation, because without
food and plenty of it no army, or civil
Ian population for that matter, can
maintain their peace and contentment,
much less their war morale. 1t was
Napoleon who said, "An army travels
on its stomach" and no truer military
expression has ever been coined.
That's why it is just as necessary for
food regulation and food conservation
In both army and civil life to maintain,
by competent distribution, proper
food supply for both forces, di-
viding the same in proportion
20 the physical needs of each The
feeding of a camp the size OF Custer
Is a revelation in detail For example
June 46.77 cents for his days rations.
Few families could make the saving or
live as we'll as these mess sergeants
keep their men, and a soldiers portion
of food is not to be compared with that
given youngsters In the average home.
The work of a mess chief Is q science.
They almost invariably come within
their daily official allowance but no
attempt is made to have a surplus, the

anxious mothers of any worry about

the average big red-blooded boy true

as ii may, his food is at least scien-

There are upwards of $50 kitchens at
Camp Custer, all under the supervision

who has been in France for the las, few
days, has been sent to the field. He
probably will be assigned to work in re-
lation to the united command OF the
British and French armies.
His post at the War Office will be
taken by Gen. De!ma Radcliffe, formerly
chief staff officer OF the Canadian army
and chief OF the British military mis-
sion at Italian Headquarters Gen. Rad
clffe will take over the weekly interview
with American newspaper men whch
has been part of Gen. Maurice's duties.
Gen Maurice has been much criticised
for statements he made In his regular
interview last Wednesday with the news
paper correspondents. in which he de-
scribed the battle of the Lys as similar to
that at Waterloo. with the British taking
the hammering and waiting for
Bluecher," and his query. But what has
happened to Biuecher?" meaning Where
are the French reserves? which Field
Marshal Hais had said a few days be-
fore were hurrying to the aid OF the
British.
This remark was construed. both in
England and In America as u reflection
upon Gen. Foch, Commander In Chief
Of the Allied Armies in France, whose
duty is was To provide the reserves at
the proper time. which In fact he did.
At the moment that Gen. Maurice was
putting his tactless question the French
reenforcements were arriving In strong
forcs and taking their place shoulder to
shoulder with the British on the Lys
battle front, The combined force was
strong enough to stop the German ad-
vance, as the Developments Of the next
few DAYS showed.

WAsHiSGroS. April 20.-For the arst
time since the weekly conferences be-
tween the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs and the War Council were in
augurated a month ago the statesmen
left the gathering to-day with smiling
faces They rad listened to their first
optimts,'c review OF the situation at the
French front
They were heartened and disposed to
new encouragement in view Of tho
assumption expressed to them by the
officers OF the higher military command
that the German drive had actually been
halted and that the Germans have
reached the limit OF their impetus with
their present assembled force. The Ger
man casualty list Is probably the
heaviest suffered In any single battle in
the present war. which means In wars
from the beginning OF time.
The Germans have made material
gains and recovered territory previously
held and then relinquished by them. but
on the other hand the French British
lines have held under the stupendous
strain. There has been retirement on
retirement, but ever with the allied line
a continuous nghting thing. There has
been no penetration. The allied line has
been defended at staggering cost. but 1t
has been defended.
That the losses of the Germans are
less than 100000 In killed and wounded
the more optimistic experts refuse to
believe. They assert that no one knows
except the Germans. but II Is regarded
as possible that half a million German
soldiers have been put out of action In
the fighting Of the last thirty days.

LONDON. April 20.-Conditions on the
western front at the end OF the week are
very different from those which marked
Its beginning. seven days ago. when
Field Marshal Haig. In an order OF the
day. told his troops that THEY were fight
ing with their backs to the wall for their
lives and the liberty of the British En-
pire and OF the whole world.
To-day the Germans seem to have
been stopped and are counting their
losses before sacrificing additional thou
sands q their men In a continuation OF
their supreme effort.
Dispatches from the battlefield this
morning appear to indicate that the
German offensive In the valley OF the
Iys has failed: for two whole days
they have not made any progress and
their last attack on Givenchy. where the
British last night regained the ground
they lost Thursday. and IN the amphi-
theatre between that place and st. We
nant were among the most costly OF
their attempts to disrupt the Allies
armies.
Heavy Price in Lives Exacted.
That the Germans have won great
far they have not succeeded In obtain
inT any obJectives that would Justify
their tremendous efforts and their cost
1t is no; to be supposed that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg and Gen. Lu-
dendort will accept and rest content
with the present check. The Germans
have tried TO break through at two
points--between Arras and the Oise and
between Ypres and Arras-and In both
places they were unsuccessful
Dispatches from the front state that
the Germans continue to transfer d.
visions from the Russian to the French
front and II Is estimated that OF the 200
divisions available at the beginning OF
the offensive the enemy still has a re-
serve OF 100000 men.
The Immediate question is Where will
the next German pressure be exerted? !?
Their intentions north OF Ypres have
been baked for the present by the Brit
ish withdrawal to the old line.
Foch Far From Downhearted.
Gen. Foch. Commander in. Chief Of the
allied armies in France. said the other
day: The Roche waves are breaking an
the banks: to hold them back, however,
In not enough. We have ample resources
and we shall do someting more. We can
be satisfied with the way things are
going"
The arrival OF Italian troops in France
on the way to the front and signs that
Austrian infantry is being transferred
to the same battle-ground. where only the
Austrian artillery has been employed by
the Germans so far, appear to indicate
that the Austrian offensive In italy has
been postponed. II was originally de-
signed to coincide with the German sep
aration OF the British and French armies
along the line Of the Somme. but this did
not come of and the Germans have suf-
fered very heavy losses tHre.
