Southern Food Substitutes.

From L. S. Food Administration Bulletin.
The south has several substitutes for
wheat peculiar to itself, and the Price
Current groups them into three divisions
roughly. according to their baking and
nutritive qualities. Group one. banana,
cassava, 1asheen and sweet potato: group
two. rice and kafiy; group three. soy beans
and peanuts.
The substitutes in group one should be
mixed with good white flour In the pro-
portion of one to three. The resulting
bread is excellent In every way. Only a
little less rice in protein than ordinary
bread. it is much richer In minerals and
other important constituents. Dried
bananas should be used in making banana
flour: the dasheen and sweet potato may
be boiled and then mixed with the flour.
or the dried product may be used.
Rice and kafir should be mixed with
flour in the same proportion as the sub
stances in group one--t,at is, one and
three. Bread made from kafir is come
what darker in color but richer IN protein
and ash than white bread. Brown rice
flour mixed with wheat is also somewhat,
darker in color than white bread, but It is
as rich in protein and other food con-
stituents. The use of polished rice does
not add either to the appearance Of the
bread nor to its nutritive value.
Soy beans and peanuts are extremely
rich in protein and fat. Flour prepared
from either OF thenf. wnen mixed with
white flour in the proportion Of one to
three. is we'll adapted to make a nutritious
bread. Bread made from white flour alone
contains less than 0 per cent protein and
only. about 0.3 per cent Of salt free ash.
while bread made from soy bean and
wheat lour contains about IA per cent
protein and ! per cent salt free ash. Bread
made from peanut and wheat flour mix
lures contains about II per cent protein
and about O.62 per cent salt free ash. Thus
it Is eeen that ever when only one part
Of these substitutes Is mixed with three
parts of white flour the resultant bread is
about 40 to 50 per cent richer in protein
and about 50 to 800 per cent richer IN
mineral ingredients other than salt.

may mean that the hoUsckceper has to

in such a case the general method

who were over-eager.
II saw the destroyer's stern had
swung away and men were dropping
into the water. Another destroyer
was coming up astern on the other
side and the first one was casting off
lines, preparatory to going.
Il noticed that her bow was rub
bling our side and that her forecastle
was only about ten or IL feet lower
than the sea deck Of our ship. ! ran

II had no more than gathered my
self up, with the help of big British

BRITISH OFFICIAL REPORT

London. March 21.-The text of the British statement reads: ''At about o'clock this morning, aft CT an intense bombardment of both
 high explosive and gas shells on our forward positions and back areas. a powerful infantry attack was launched
 by the enemy on a front of over 30 miles, extending from the River Disc in the neighborhood of La Fere to the Sensee river, about Croisilles. "A hostile artillery demonstration has taken place on a wide front north of La Basse canal and in the Ypres sec tor.
 "The attack, which for sometime past was known to be in the course of prep araton, has been pressed with great vigor and determination throughout the day Tn the course of the fighting the enemy broke through our outpost posi-
 tions and succeeded in penetrating into our battle positions in certain parts of the front.
 'The attacks were delivered in large
 masses and have been extremely costly to the hostile troops engaged whose losses have been exceptionally heavy. Severe fighting continues along the whole front. Large numbers of hostile reinforcing troops have been observed during the day moving forward behind
 the enemy's lines.
 Several enemy divisions which had been especially trained for this great attack have already been identified in- cluding units of the guards. "Captured maps depicting the enemy $ intentions show that on no part of the long front of the attack has he attained his objective''

JUVENILE RAID IS CARRIED OUT
 IN MIST AND DARK
New York and New Jersey Troops Take Part in Sue cessful Attack With the
 French

With the American Army in France, March 21.-The raid into the German po- sitions east of Luneville last night by ried out under cover of darkness and as a misty haze began to roll in over the hills facing the American lines on that particular portion of the sector.
 From an observation station high in a treetop the correspondent watched the artillery preparation. It began soon aft CT dusk, orange bursts of flame, where the American guns were firing, showing in certain places in the wood
 round about From the hillsides across the valley the German guns retaliated
 For more than half an hour the bril- fliapt hluish-white flash of their guns was like jumping electric spark here and there. Soon the reports of the ex- plosions became a deafening roar which .roled in from everywhere as the guns far and near came into action This was the time from the spot where the shells fell a constant red glow showed through the darkness. At the same time the Ger man guns increased their fire.
 As the barrage lifted the roar became quiet just at the moment the Americans and French went over the top. The noise Of the German guns sounded. like some one beating big bass drum
 Soon nearly all the firing ceased and almost immediately the staccato rattle of machine guns and automatic rifles be- gan Occasionally rifle fire broke in and all was then fairly quiet for nearly half an hour, except for occasional bursts of rifle fire and short bursts of automatic rifles.
 The first members of the raiding party to return to the American first line were the stretcher bearers. When plosions sounded from within the enemy lines and occasionally there were bursts of flame showing where dusouts were being blown up.
 The raiding party came back mud stained and some were smeared with blood, They reported they had secured no prisoners because the Germans had fled as the Americans and French dropped into their trenches Some of the Germans were shot while they were trying to get away and others were killed by the American shells One German, who had placed himself between the first and second lines wi,h an automatic rifle. was discovered by an American soldier, who challenged him. The German turned to draw a re- volver. The American. whose home is in New York. promptly killed him and went on further into the enemy lines
 The patrol got much information of value and except for the lack of pris- eners the raid was pronounced success frcm every point of view by both French and American officers
 Most of the infantrymen who par t'cipated in the raid were from New York. although there were some from New Jersey. Some of the engineers who accompanied the party as pio- neers were from California
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-03-22

The Germans have talked so freely people thought they were making q feint to conceal some other policy. Some looked for q campaign against salcnilSa instead of a big attack in France. Reports have been circulated that the Germans have built large number of tanks and supertanks, but the British, who first launched this weapon, are not likely to be stopped hy these, nor is it conceivable that they will be hi~d in numbers of tanks or improvements. ,-As atIa
 Extensive preparations have been made by the English hospitals to re- ccive the trains of wounded from the channel ports which follow every bat tie. The first of them Is expected to- morrow.
