WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FLANDERS. Sunday, September l.
In tho first fighting in Belgium the

the shellfire had been so intense that

their machine guns, but these were
quickly silenced without much trout

the Americans also advanced the line,
keeping in contact with the retreat

Germans resulted In their gaining
little more than a slight foothold,
loosened by British and American re-
attacks.
In most places the Germans did not
even get a foothold, for the advanc-
ing formations were met with hurrl-
canes Of fire under which they melted
away.
Town Thrice Won, Report.
It is believed that Bullecourt itself
has thrice been lost and won in the
past two days. First the British were
in the town, and then the Germans.
While one side had the control the
the other would filter in and get the
positions, and then the place would
become most active. From ruin to

and new trenches the fighting has

and hiding places are being mopped

that their casualties continue ex-

The Cordova daily times., 1918-05-04

We know now that never have the allied nations faced a grimmer strug- gle for existence than confronts them today. We know that only to America may they turn for assistance So great has been the toll of the U-boat that every ship must be made to work at full capacity. Every vessel must make the greatest possible number of trips, travelling to the nearest source of supply-America. If the source of supply fails them, it means that their ships must go farther from the scene of the conflict. It means diminution of food And that means an approach to starvation-failure, de- feat.
 The strength of those people over there depends solely upon us. Starv- ing people cannot uphold their armies. And the armies. even if they are fed. can not be kept in the field if the hASii hhON tAas1I anu " alt ttl S added to the suffering back home. The knowledge that their women and children were starving would rob them of the spirit which has main tained their determination to stand unyielding before the onslaughts of Prussia.
 We must face the fact that there is not in this country enough food to meet the actual necessities of Europe if we maintain our normal consump- tion. We must feed them, but we have left in America only the amounts which would normally be consumed before another harvest. We can export only what we save. If our savings are small, Europe will be underfed-the war will be lost.
 The greatest need in Europe today is for wheat They must have mill lions of bushels. Seventy-five mil lions bushels, on the first day of this year, was needed to tide them over until July 1.
