Is strong hope among the American fght-
ers here that the reply from Washington
will be sharp and decisive. All along
the front west OF Verdun the American
advance continues. with heavy fighting
in many sectors. The Germans are fight
ing with q greater ratio of machine guns
than ever before. and these are backed
nightly by heavy artillery Are.
In spite OF the heavy concentration of
machine guns and the apparent determi-
nation OF the German soldiers to obey
their orders not to retreat the Americans
continue to press them back The fight

and ran for their lives, officers and all.
Crushed by q Tank.
While this battle was in progress one
OF our tanks emerged from behind the
wood, attracted, apparently. by the
noise. and being determined to have a
part in the scrap. A small squad OF
Germans, seeing the tank making toward
them. threw mp their hands in token Of
surrender. Then when the tank was
within a few feet OF them they began
throwing hand grenades. With a snort
and a squirt the huge tank leaped upon
them. crushing them to death beneath
its great caterpiilars.

OF man trap. 1t is small bomb, with
little projecting horns, and numbers OF
them were found in deserted dugouts.

be going successfully for the Americans.

early stages. not because OF German re-
assistance but on account OF atrocious
weather.

grams (5.6 ounces) daily per
capita. commencing June 6, ac-
cording to advices from Berlin.
The announcement by the depart
ment breaks the news to the Ger
man people by saying:
While the supply of
promised grain from Ukraine
certainly can be reckoned
upon, it is uncertain whether
such supplies will reach Ger
many in large amounts before
this years harvest. The reduc-
tion is made in order to he
quite certain Of meeting the

Tho addition Of 10 per cent.
Of potato -four is to be per-

normal bread ration of about
two grams daily. with an extra
allowance to workmen. will be
continued. The ration will be
restored after the harvest. il
the arrival Of supplies does not
permit this sooner. To make
up for the reduction Of bread
ration. the sugar ration will be
doubled and the distribution Of
groats and corn -four will be
increased.
