The Colorado statesman., 1918-05-25

With the British Army in France
German airmen again have bombed
heavily British hospitals in the area
behind the lines, and this time have
killed and wounded some hundreds
among the personnel and patients Of
many different hospitals in the group.
Recorded in the casualty list are the
names of several sisters, who with
other women nurses stood bravely by
their posts throughout a terrific del
uge of explosives.
There is in the neighborhood one
large hospital and another in which
there are American workers, but
neither of these appears to have suf-
fered. Last summer a number of
American doctors and nurses were
killed and wounded when these same
hospitals were raided by the Germans.
This latest horror was perpetrated
Sunday night, May 10, apparently by
four squadrons of enemy planes which
appear to have comprised more than a
score of machines. A great number
of bombs were dropped. About 80 per
cent of them were huge affairs, which
dug vast craters in the hospital
grounds, and the rest high-explosive
shrapnel, which sent their death-deal-
ing bullets tearing in every direction
through the crowded hospital tents
and buildings.
With the French Army in France,
May 24.-Thirty-seven German air
planes have been destroyed, sixty 9TH
ers have been forced to land badly
damaged within their own line and
eight captive balloons have been de-
stroyed by French aviators since the
weather became favorable. In the pc
riod between May Is to May IS there
were 105 aerial combats.
American and Italian squadrillas
have participated in the aerial opera
tions.
London, May 24-Railway stations
in German Lorraine and the railway
near Liege, Belgium, and chloride
factory at Mannheim, on the Rhine,
were bombed Tuesday night and We'd
nesday by British aviators, says the
British official statement on aerial
operations. Three fires were caused
at Mannheim, and large conflagrations
near Liege.
British aviators destroyed sixteen
German airplanes and two observation
balloons, and drove down two air
planes out of control.
There has been some sharp fighting
on the Italian front but the combats
have not been of a significant charac-
ter.
Internal conditions in Austria,
which have been extremely critical for
some time, show little improvement
according to reports. There have been
renewed disorders at Prague. at which
anti-German songs were sung and
cheers given for President Wilson

new WHEAT RULES
RELEASE AMERICA
FROM old REGIME

A. . result Of one Of the most mo-
msntous food conferences ever held
In the history Of the world. Herbert
Hoover. federal food administFatcs
for the United States, upon his return
from England. has ordered all past
wheat regulations rsscindsd and hes
instituted an entirely new wheat pro
gram which will be followed ~
America and the Allies alike. and
which became effective September 1.
The most outstanding feature OF the
new regime II the introduction Of
Victory" flour. This flour 10 com
posed OF 80 per cent wheat flour and
20 per cent substitutes, and ID mixed
at the mills.
Consumers viii not be required to
purchase this Victory" flour, but VIII
be allowed to buy pure wheat flour
and 20 per cent prescribed substi.
tutes. The Food Administration. how.
ever, urges that wherever possible
Victory" flour be utilised.
According to the regulations. The
new flour must not b sold BY miller.
wholesaler or retail dealer ct any
greater price than standard flour. The
retail dealer who sells standard wheat
flour Ia required to carry In stock
either barley, corn or corn meal flour.
to sell as substitutes In the ratio OF
one pound substitute to four pounds
Of wheat flour. Pure rye flour or
meal may be sold ~ . substitute. but
1t must be sold In proportion OF at
least two pounds Of rye to three
pounds OF wheat.
bakers are now allowed to carry .
sixty-day supply Of flour. instead Of
the thirty-day supply as before, and
the twenty-four- pound limitation ON
the purchase OF flour has been re-
scinded for both the city and the
country consumer.
In spite of the fact that the order
which allowed each consumer but six
pounds per person per month has
been revoked. Hoover, in telegram
to Thomas B. Stea1ns, federal food
administrator for Colorado. requested
all housewives to continue to con-
serve flour In q reasonable manner

Dear Sis:
We are in it now and having one
hell Of time, by the time you receive
this, the most decisive battle Of the
war will in all probability be over and
most likely the greatest battle in the
worlds history will have been fought.
We are going to beat the band and
the aggressiveness of the American 10
surprising the Allies more than it is
the Hun, which is some surprise. Our
Division had been out Of the line only
five hours when the fireworks started
and we had to 60 in again but helrs
bells, if they hadn't let them they'd
have gone anyway. We've got the
skunk on the run now and II the roads
viii only hold up 30 that we can be re-
plsnished with supplies and grub, we
60 on to Berlin.
Ours il the star Division over here
and has been cited twice by the Com
manding General and in all probability
will receive another citation for this
last battle.
Am not writing any names Of places
% that you will not have to guess or
worry in case anything 10 deleted by
the censor but take it from me we are
taking more terrain than any other
sector on the entire front SO from the
papers you can tell about where we are
and the best part Of it 10 that the
Americans control the entire sector
although we are being reinforced by
French, British and Scotch now. but
the initial strategy and offense belongs
to the U. s. 80 no matter what the
papers or anybody else say Sammy
started the biggest drive since the
beginning of the war.
No need for me to tell you of any Of
the details for you can read Of them
in the papers, but some gruesome Incl.
dents occur and also some amusing
ones and would suggest that the Red
Cross equip each soldier with what the
babies wear; for the first introduction
Of fire anyway.
OF course have not heard from you
yet, having been on the move since

are in as good health and spirits as
am.
