Of an Hour to Make
Hun Run.
10y Associated Pre.,.1

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 2S.-The American
troops on the French front near Mont
didier delivered an attack against the
German positions. fought their way
through all detectives. including the
village of Cantisny. and captured 140
prisoners
The American attack was along a
two-kilometer front. and II seems to
have taken the hard hitting Amcri-
cans just about three quarters of an
hour to complete their conquest. which
included that amount of territory rs
well as the village of Cantigny-an
exceptionally short time for such an
operation.
as a fitting companion piece to the
brilliant work done by the United
States soldiers in repulsing an enemy
assault made against them in the same
region yesterday morning. One Amer
lean division was attacked at that time
and the gray coats met with a COM
pletc reversal at all points.
This enemy attack was not a heavy
one, however. and was easily dealt
with by the Americans. who had the
situation we'll in hand at all times
Word of these two victories have
added much TO the very favorable i'm
preston which the American troops
already have created along the British
front. 1t was foregone conclusion
that the Germans would make the
newest Of the allies along this front
the object CT an attack. in an attempt
to push them back and thereby create
feeling that they had formed a weak
link in the defending chain.
Tie general opinion of the way in
which these American troops have
handled themselves in the last two
days seems TO be summed up in a COM
ment made to a correspondent to-day
by a French liason officer:
Ma gnificent!" he exclaimed with de-
light. That is the sort of stuff we
will give the Boche."

This matter of war food cannot
always be worked out jus; the same
in every family. That is why the
United States food administration
menus are intended only as sug-
gestions.
For example, one woman writes
that she is trying one new dish ev-
cry day for her family. Another
one says that hers is a conserva-
tive family and so she has practic-
ally given up trying to introduce
them to new things. Instead, she
has fallen back on four or five
standard desserts, such as rice pud-
ding chocolate blanc mango, bread
pudding, custard, prunc whip; three
or four main dinner dishes, plain
cooked vegetables, etc, all of
which are according to food ad-
ministration principles, but still
nothing new or startling to make
them worr' about "whar it is made
Of"
You are the doctor? S'ndy your
family Decide whether they will
take the new things better as one
every two or three days, or as CON
tinhous applications.

A GREAT DISCOVERY.
(By ]. II. Watson, NJ. d.

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are
due to a dropsical condition, often
caused by disordered kidneys. Nat
urally when the kidneys are de
ranged the blood is filled with pois-
onous waste matter, which settles in
the feet, ankles and wrists; or un-
der the eyes in bag-like formations.
As a remedy for those easily rec
ognized symptoms of inflammation
caused by uric acid-as scalding
urine, or if uric acid in the blood
has caused rheumatism, lumbago,
sciatica, gout, it is simply wonder
full how quickly An-u-ric acts; the
pains and stiffness rapidly disap-
pear, for Anuric double strength, !,

RAINEY DEFENDS
COAL DICTATOR
GARFIELD SAVED COUNTRY
FROM PERIL is INTI-
NATION.

Washington, March 2.-The fuel
administration recent closing or
der was defended in the house
by Representative Rainey of Hi
noie, who declared that when the
"entire story is told, there will be
members of the house who would
be glad to expunge from the rec
ords, if they could, speeches they
made Immediately after the coal or
der's PRONUNCIATION"
Speeches made in this house that
day-nonc of them on the Demo-
Graf side" Representative Rainey
said, Twill not be dropped from air
planes inside the German lines, and
if an eHuson from an ex-attorney
general of the United States is Civ
en- circulation, gets into Germany
at all, it will be sent there by Ger
man agencies and will splendidly
encourage German armies in the
pre-cnr crisis"
The Illinois representative assert
cd that too much already had been
disclosed regarding military move
meuts.
The entire story" he added,
cannot Tow be told. After the war
IS over, i; will be possible to give
all the reasons for the coal order Of

ing off by the middle of January, he
asserted, Tut shipment of steel plate
and steel bars needed for the great
new fleet the United States is build
ing had fallen off 50 per cent. More
alal ming still, he added, was the
falling off in shipment of projectile
steel, needed for munitions manu-
facture. This had fallen off by the
micdle OF January As per cent.
Fc said the relief brought about
by the heatless Monday order was
Immediately apparent and as a re-
suit, 430 ships have been loaded and
coaled since Jan. Il. Forty of
them, he said, we're loaded with
food, II with coal, oil and gasoline,
and 369 with munitions, and nearly
every one of them has safely reach
ed its destination and the supplies
are being distributed to the armies
in France. Steel movements now,
he said, have become normal.
Despite unprecedented increase in
coal production, there still is a
shortage CT 50,0O0000 tons, the rep
resentative said, which must be met
by Immediately building more coal
cars and more engines and by con-
serving coal.
Some Large Figures.
Mr.. Rainey said Doctor Garfield
is blazing his own trail, and that the
fuel administration has perfected
an organization to save 100000
tons Of coal annually in homes, 49,
100000 tons in locomotives and sta
tiorary steam plants and 100000
more by an increase of 100000
