Heavy Gun Duels
Rage Along Front
y Taken by British
tBy The Associated Press)

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 29.-Late last night and
again early to-day the Germans put
down vigorous barrages along the sec
tor north of Merville, but no further
anfantry action has been reported,
Great fleets of airplanes are constantly
wheeling over hostile territory to-day
and conducting bitter warfare against
the Germans.
Heavy artillery duels have been
waged continually during the last
twenty-four hours in the Merville re-
gion, where the British yesterday morn
ing rushed the Germans back by sue
cessful surprise attack. Prisoners Sc
cured in this operation now total nine
officers and 392 of other ranks. Two
field guns, twenty-five machine guns
and one treuch mortar also were taken
BY the British. The German losses in
killed and wounded were very severe.
Intense activity has been marking
the work of the royal air force. Pris-
cners state that their casualties have
been very heavy as the result of the
aerial raids.
What the German soldier thinks of
the British aviators may be indicated
by two letters taken from prisoners.
One letter written in May by man in
the Bapaume region said:
Enemy aviators have caused US a
great deal of misery. They are inces-
SAINT night and day. They lombard the
main roads of Peronne, Bapaume and
sCambrai. One isn't safe anywhere"
Another letter recently written by =
soldier in Peronne read:
: 1--WE have nothing to fear from the
enemy il it were not for his aviators:
"Since we have been here they have
: bombarded Peronne every day. Yester-
day twenty-five men were killed and
Shree munition trains were blown up"
Word comes from the enemy camp
through prisoners that the high Ger
man command has issued orders for a
drastic reduction in rations to come
into effect July /. No fat will be is
sued under The new regulations.

AUCTION IF QUILT NETSMANY DOLLARS
 FOR HE RED CROSS

TEMPE, Sept. 6.-The ladies of the Pythian Sisters lodge have cause to feel elated over the success of the sale of their Red Cross quilt on which they have spent So much time and energy The quilt ha5 been finished for some time and on display awaiting suit able public gathering at which to auc- tion it off. At last nights rally this was done and A. J. Peters was the for-' tunate party to secure the quilt. The auction brought in s265.25. which, with the proceeds resulting from the names. swells the total to the sum of s1,200 in round numbers. This money is to go toward the Red Cross ambulance fund. in which every county in Ari- zona is to be represented by Ford ambulance fully equipped and with the name of the county inscribed thereon. Each ambulance costs $475, so it is readily seen that the Tempe lodge has enough to more than purchase one. However, some counties have no lodge at all and donations for this quilt have been received from all over the state so the fund is to be raised to $6,65O, which will give each county repre- sentation.

MESA. Sept. 6.-The local food ad- ministration office is in receipt of an order from the government authori ties to the effect that no more cer- tificates for sugar for canning be is sued at the present time.
 While the bulk of the canning for this season has been done. the order will find the late peaches and the pear crop largely unprovided for. However this may be, from statistics recently given out. Maricopa county has canned an immense amount of fruit and veg etbles this season, and judging from the number of certificates and the amount of sugar secured thereon, the residents of the South Side are not apt to go hungry during the coming win ter and spring for lack of canned fruits.
