THE LAST SALVO
not pay,

Two minutes before II o'clock the last shell shrieked over No Mans Land. Hostlites ended with a tremendous crash of American cannon. Gable dispatch. Ghost of Molly Pitcher at Monmouth Did you hear that last crash of thunder Shaking the fihs from the Nosges to the Marne And the whole world rocking under? Did you stop as you swabbed the wrath of your gun And cooled it's hot throat with water To hark to the Tanks good-by to the Hun Across the red fields of slaughter? Seventy five miles of fire and flame
 Volcano and earthquake combining, Trsinloads and shploads of shot and shell Roaring and shrieking and whining. The ground swung round like weather yane- And the rivers heaved that near it Oh ghost of old mad Anthony Wayne
 At Stony Point did you hear it? Hickory Jackson at New Orleans.
 In the sand -bagged trenches kneeng. Did it knock your cooked hat from your head When you heard our big guns peang? Shaking the skies with their awful din,
 Like the fourteen demands of Wilson, Smashing the window panes in Berlin
 And bursting the bungs in Pilsen. This the way it came to an end,
 Thus the last word spoken From the narrow to beyond the Rhine
 As the world lay black and broken; Twas thus was said good-by to the Huns,
 Doomed with their proud commanders When the hills were rocked from the Yankee guns Over the fields of Flanders

TRAINING SEA BAKERS"
Novelty in Merchant Service Orig
mated in Demand for Skilled
Breadmakers.

New York Times: The training
OF bakers for service at sea is a nov
city in the merchant service. 1t or
iginated in the great demand for
skilled breadmakcrs on the hun
dreds of ships being built by the
shipping board for the government.
Fundamentally it was prompted by
the requirements Of the modern
sailors diet, which is vastly better
than his seagoing ancestors ever
dreamed of having.
In grandfather's day a ship took
on her supply of bread for voyage
in casks before leaving home This
supply had to last until the end OF
the voyage, though that might be a
year or two. The bread was in the
form of hard biscuits. It kept fairly
well when dry, but often it got damp
and mody, or wormy.
The old-time American sailors
ideal'of luxury therefore was plenty
Of soft" fresh bread. Coupled with
that he had daily visions OF pies and
puddingS such as mother made back
in Nantucket, or New London or
New Bedford. but these he tasted
while at sea i'll fancy only, for his
sole dessert after his meal on hard
bread and salt pork or beef, was a
portion OF "scouse' or salt horse"
hash was portion once a week or
so OF duff, which one sailor author
SO years ago described as nothing
more than flour boiled with water
and eaten with molasses."
All that was done away with years
ago. Since the introduction of
steam which shortened voyages,
Jacks diet has steadily improved.
Now a sailor lives as we'll as most
working men ashore, and better than
many. He has soft bread daily, and
both pudding and pies in their place.
To provide for the needs OF the
crew in bread and pastry, each large
American merchant ship carries a
bakeshop with baker. The bake
shop is equipped with the latest type
of oven for baking bread and pastry
in quantity. The baker is skilled not
only in his trade, but in working un-
der seagoing conditions-and that
means ability to keep steady stom-
ach in rough weather, and while at
work unconsciously to change his
balance from one foot to the other as
the ship rolls from side 10 side, or
pitches in strong head sea.

WAR SUMMARY
(By The Associated Press)


Because of our desire Tor peace
our troops in Italy will evacuate oc-
cupied region" says an Official
statement at Vienna late last night.
AS regards the front or more than
sixty miles from the Adriatic to the
mountain front west OF the Pave
river, it would appear that TINS state
ment seeks to make virtue OF 4
necessity so far as the withdrawn
of Austrian forces is concerned.
Italian. British and American forces
are sweeping east from the Pave
and the apex OF the wedge driven
into the cuemy's lines has reached
Nittorio.
Farther \)u,r the advance be-
yond the Monticano river has drlV-
en- the AustrianS far to the east Oh
Coneeliano. The line crosses the
Monticano at Fontainelle, bends to
the west slightly and then turns
south until it reaches the Pave be-
low san Dona.
The capture OF Nittorio appears
to be the whole Austrian position III
the Bclluno sector. The city was a
principal supply point and gives the
allies a base Tor an attack against
the left flank OF the Austrian ar
mics holding the mountain sector
running west of the Piavc. Owing
to the character of this country, it
is not probable, however, that
flank attack will be made. 1t seems
that the advance will be continued
eastward forcing the Austrian near
the Adriatic 10 retreat and increaS-
inc the period Of the enemy forces
to the uorthWard.
Nearly $4,000 prisoners have been
captured by the allies during the past
week.
Americans Battle in France.
American divisions engaged in
the terrific struggle between the
Meusc river and the Argonne ior-
est have pushed ahead until they
have Aincrcville in their possession,
This village is about two and ono
half miles west of the Meuse and IS
situated on a ridge which dominate,
the country to the north and east.
The Americans can direct their ar
Gllcry lire on the important town
OF Stcuay to the north, and the rail
road running from Metz toward
Lille to the northeast.
Nearer the Argonne forest. the
Americans have the Bellejoyeuse
farm safely within their lines. This
success seems to make imperative
slight German retirement to the
east, where the enemy appears to be
in pocket.
The French, who have been at
tacking the German lines between
the Disc and the Aisne rivers, are
slowly encircling Guise. Further
south, they have cut another notch
in the German front.
Northwest of Rethel, the Germans
appear to have strengthened their
line to meet the dangerous attack
OF General Berthelot's troops, which
il it had been success, would have
outilanked the German lines along
the AiSne.
In Northern Sectors.
In the northern sectors OF the
front the situation seems to have
reached a stage of deadlock for the
time being. British divisions have
reached the Scheldt along a wide
front, but have been unable to cross
that stream. The presence of civil
ians in maay cf 80 towns in thi:
sector Of the battle front MAJ have
some bearing on the lull that has
prevailed there for the last few days
Serbian troops have reached the
Danube at Semendria, "a miles east
of Belgrade. They are also report
ed to be 81 miles south OF the for.
mer Serbian capital.
