} MEATLESS DAYS IS
FRENCH DECREE
Frozen Reserves Are Dwindling and
lis Necessary to Feed American
And Other Allies Troops.

PARIS, April 27-Wednesday,
Taur5day and Friday of each week,
beginning May Is, will be meatless
ere, says on official decree issued to-
day 1t explains that this is made
necessary by the gardually dwindling
reserves of frozen meat the necessity
of feeding part of the American Army
and of occasionally supplying the
wants of other Allies forces.
The meat restrictions are not to be
applied to the troops behind the bat
BILE lines nor canteens of industrial
factories used exclusively by workers
Neither are they to affect educational
institutions, nor involids needing a
flesh regimen. Horse meat is not to
be barred for home consumption, but
may not be served in restaurants.
Profiteers in local markets, says the
order, have run up prices so that the
cattle raisers keep back the best ami
mails from the req1isitioning officers.
This not only has made it difficult to
feed the armies but has sent the price
of meat for civilians up beyond all
bounds. Some spectators, it is as
serted, make profit of $3.50 on one
steer. The decree announces that all
profiteers will be prosecuted vigor-
Ously
The Government will encourage
laisers by an increase in requisition-
ing prices and by paying additional
bounties on animals fattened for mar
Eet In departments where the
proper proportion of cattle for the
army is not forthcoming, shipments
Of cattle will be stopped until it is.
If these measures do not have the
desired effect. the order concludes,
others will be introduced, and for this
purpose a committee has gone to
England to study the operation of
the cattle system there.

AMERICANS EAGER,
SAYS THIS GERMAN
FIELD CORRESPONDENT BRANDS
THEM AS PHYSICALLY FINE,
WELL EQUIPPED, BUT LACKING
IN CERTAIN EXPERIENCE.

STOCKHOLM, May 2-The German
war correspondents at the west front
have at last awakened to the fact thai
American troops are sufficiently ac-
tive in the front line to warrant roper
torial notice, and Dr. Max Osborne, the
correspondent of the Vossiche lei
tung, is the first of the Teuton frater-
nifty to give the American soldier his
due. In the following report from the
middle of March he says
How large the number of American
troops is cannot be ascertained with
complete accuracy. In any event II
doesn't reach the dizzy heights OF
which the French and English press
phantasy, in order to quiet and en-
courage their readers.
Our German troops who have al
ready fought with countless troops
from all five continents takes the ap-
pearanCe of this new enemy too as
matter of course. Wherever one comes
our soldiers speak of the Americans
as physically fine, young, well
equipped fellows, who, to be sure,
lack all experience in the sharp forms
of the western manner of fighting.
The Americans are lively, restless
and adventurously eager for action,
Day and night they are on the edge
for going on ra'rols and making
small attacks.
",The peaked felt hats of the Amer
leans, which somewhat resemble
-trose of our colonial troops and our
field chaplains, are constantly bob
bling up in the foreground. But then
the same picture invariably succeed
As soon as the advancing Americans
receive our fire their fighting enthus-
iasm is oppreciabIy dampened. Infan-
try saves end machine gun fire, our
men say, shoe them quickly back, to
say nothing of artillery barrier fire,
which brings ttem into utter confus-
ion
''Our men have very well and in
stinctively sensed the real nature of
these enemies, who, as our soldiers
say, plunge into battle as versatile
and also daredevil sportsmen, but not
at all soldiers in our sense and as
modern warfare demands. Our men
do not underrate the new enemy from
the new world but feel superior to
the Americans in every respect Out
wardly, the American prisoners make
a good impression"
