Corporal L. s. Helm

Mr. and Mrs. C. l. Helm have just received letter from their son, Cor poral Lloyd S. Helm of Company E. 33rd Engineers in France. The letter :. differs from most other letters from France in that it is not dated Some where in France but Somewhere in the Advanced Zone
 Corporal Helm had arrived in this zone after travelling across France to within 40 miles of the front and within a few miles of General Pershing's headuuarters. This country" he writes, reminds me of Washington, heavy timbered. mountains and lots of streams, good drinking water and fine looking farms Franc strikes me as pretty country. About Meyers, Tours and Le Mans it reminds me of Call fornia north of Los Angeles.
 Describing the journe" across the country he says: We travelled in these little French freight cars, wagons. they call them, only 20 feet long and eight feet widc They are four wheel affairs and on each is written forty hommes. three cheveau' We'll there were 40 men in each car and we were in them 72 hours The train travelled only two hours out of every three. There wasn't room for all of us to sit on the floor. no connection between cars, no toilet facilities and food piled in one end of the car for the whole trip. 1 was in charge of one car and got just about an even four hours sleep out of the seventy-two.''
 This letter was written late in June before the American boys showed all that was in them in the great drive, but he had already heard of the good impression they had created among the l lnr n n l enormous numbers with enormous quantities of food. The rest of the let ter relates mainly to the customs he had observed of the French.

banished by actual achievements as
well as by the courage of armed
forces. Lord Reading, British am
bassador to the United States said
in message read by Colville Barclay,

L. S. government war exposition to-
day, celebrated as British Day.

the marvellous success with which in

For years Germany has secretly

ulations of every engine of war and

by their means she could at her chos-

New Food Program for
Further Conservation Is
Outlined by Hoover

WASHINGTON, Sept. A new
food program, embracing plans for
further war time conservation of
stable products was discussed today
by Herbert c. Hoover and federal
food administrators from all the states
called here for a two-day conference.
In general way Mr.. Hoover outlined
the work accomplished on his recent
trip to Europe, including results OBJ
tained at meetings with food control
lers of allied countries.
Wheat and meat regulations, sugar
price and distribution Of
flour, mill feeds, cotton seed products
and organization, were the principal
matters on which Mr.. Hoover desired
suggestions. Good reports of the food
saving effected were brought from all
sections and some of the administra-
tors expressed the opinion that by the
public's cheerful compliance with fed
eral regulations, it might not be neces-
sary at this time to to make radical
changes in the present system or re-
quire added restrictions.

GERMAN STATEMENT.


British troops operating in the Lys
salient yesterday worked their way
:. forward as far as the line of Wulverg.
hem, Nieppe, Bac-St. Maur, LaventN
and Richebourg-St. Vasst, according
to the statement issued by the Ger
man general staff.
On both sides of Noyon French
troops carried out strong attacks
which are especially directed against
the high ground between Campagne
and Buissy
Between the Ailette and Aisne riv-
ers the French. in cooperation with
Americans and Italians, launched re-
newed attacks after the strongest fire
preparation. They were repulsed in
many instances after bitter hand to
hand fighting.
Push Toward Cambrai.
The ma in force of the British push
seems to be in the direction of Cam
brai, along both the Bapaume-Cambrai
and Arras Cambra roads and in the
terrain lying between these highways.
In This area they are reported today
to have captured the towns of Inchy-
En-Artois and Moeuvres.
This represents an advance of be-
tween 3A and miles since yester-
day beyond the southern section of
the famous switch" line at Queant.
Further south the British likewise
have reached the line of the canal
we'll down to Peronne, on the Somme,
making their front along this artificial
waterway cover an extent of more
than 90 miles. AS a matter of fact
they are reported to have even eros
sed the canal along its southern length
just to the north of Per0nne.
Near Bourbon Wood.
The menace to both Cambria and
Douai may be indicated by the fact
that the British are within 1-3 miles
of the outskirts of the former city and
not more than miles distant from
Douai.
At Inchy-En-Artois they are little
more than miles from the Bourbon
wood position where General Byng
was tempora rily anchored in his drive
at Cambria last fall, marking what
was virtually his nearest approach to
the city.
To the north the Germans are still
in retreat and the British have oc-
cupisd additional towns in the Lys
salient The enemy's reported retire
ment in the sector south of La-Bassee
has not been confirmed however. and
the Germans apparently are still hold
ing the greater part of the coal mining
city of Lens in this area, although the
British are understood to be in the
western section of the town.
On the French front General Man
