usual serial activity. American avi-
ators hold the supremacy on the Yer
dun front, despite enemy REINFORCE
ments. A dozen boche planes and
several balloons have been brought
down since Thursday night.
The Importance the Germans attach
to this region is demonstrated in the
air as well as on the ground. The
number OF airplanes has greatly in
creased and enemy aviators are TAX
ing desperate chances in their en-
deavor TO prevent the Americans
overruning the front at will. Our
observers and photographers are able
to do highly important work under
guard of chase planes, despite the
boche.
Lieutenants Rickenbacker. Coo
lidge, and Curtis brought down three
fokkers and one balloon in the usual
night melee.
Three balloon strafers were sent
out. in expectation that boche planes
would be in waiting. This proved to
be the Gaze. the Germans having
sent up two additional dummy bal
looms.

Pigs, Cows, and Chickens
Will Have to Eat Less,
Director Hoover DEGREES

Next on the, HooverIzing SEIZED
ule are the cows and pigs and
chickens. They've got to meet
the feed grain shortage.
The Food Administration has
announced that owing to the ex-
tension OF the drought area, the
shortening of the corn crop, and
the large. animal population.
every effort in the proper con-
servation of feeding stuffs should
be exerted during the next
twelve months.
The livestock of the allied
countries are shy of food, and
this is to be met somewhat by the
shipment of whole wheat in
greater volume and less -four
from the United States.

with gains OF 800 to 400 yards. which
were the best the allies could do in

Beaurvoir line must be held until the
Nalenctennes-Givet line is COM

OF making a deep withdrawal here.
But the Beaurevoir line failed to hold

Practically all the New York

as prisoners. are now lighting with

in some cases they were able to slip

ing Much knowledge Of Correct
Physical Exercise.

Children of the Rock Island public
schools put their circus. over big to q
capacity house last night at the
Young Mems Christian association
building.
The exhibition showed how we'll the
kiddies are learning in their daily
school routine. Not only were drills
given but the entire performance was
intermingled with comedy which was
greatly enjoyed. The main feature
of the evening was "Zyiscadgofg," the
strong man, who demonstrated unbe-
lievable feats of strength. Clowns did
their part and we're always up to some
trick.
Parents and visitors were greatly
surprised to see the drills and Gales
themes which the children were able
to execute. Out Of town visitors claim
that the show was wonderful and that
the Rock Island children are learning
much to help them in their physical
health in years to come.
Credit To Those In Charge.
E. R.. Musselmann and Miss Mar
garet Conger, who have charge of the
athletic departments in the grade
schools deserve much credit in the
way they have instructed the children
No doubt the affair will be an annual
event in the schol life. The entire re-
ceipts of the circus amounting to al
most sixty dollars, will be given to
the Rock Island Red Cross society.
