The United States marines Cor the

have come TO call them on account
OF their fierce fghtins qualities)
have extended their gains northwest
of Chateau Thierry, storming near
~ all of Belleau wood, advancing
their lines over half a mile and cap
turing two German minnewerfers,
the largest pieces they have yet
taken.
The success was gained by the
first battalion of the sixth marines.
TIE attack was delivered at 4
o'clock this morning. AS the Amer
leans went forward they surround
ed a group of about a dozen ma
chine guns, but did not take the
crews prisoners. Heavy losses were
inflicted upon the enemy.
Major Leads Attack.
Mai. Edward Cole led in the at
tack. The marines advanced over a
front less than a half mile wide,
storming a hill and thrusting the
Germans from the northern horn Of
the wood.
The Americans had 10 advance
through heavy artillery fire and the
Germans sprinkled the lighting field
literally with gas shells. High eX-
plosives tore up the ground, but
could not deter the soldiers Of the
sea in their forward plunge.
Maj Cole had previously captured
single handed half a dozen strag
gling German prisoners.

OF the ninth and 23rd infantry re-
cruited in the state OF New York,

8. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, fiours, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat, potato -four, ct
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook In their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds a week, and we specially
ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera-
ton Of the public by farther limita-
ton of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation of the distributing
| trades.

To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
1. Householders to use not to exceed
total of IL pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than IL pounds of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking -four, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
2 Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, containing a total
Of more than two ounces of wheat
-four. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
each ninety meals served, thus con-
forming with the limitations requested
Of the householders.
3. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter of a barrel
to any country customer at any one
fine and in no case t0 sell wheat
products without the sale Of an equal
weight of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers tC
reduce the volume Of Victory bread
sold, by delivery Of the three-quartel
pound loaf where one pound was SOLD
before, and corresponding proportions
In other weights. We also ask baker:
not to increase the amount of theil
