With the American Army in France,
March 12.-An American raiding party
entered the German trenches along
the Toul sector at 6 o'clock this morn
ing after an artillery bombardment of
lorty-hve minutes and brought back
much material and information but

raiders reported that American gun
fire had created destruction in the
German positions and had torn gaps
in the enemy wire entanglements.
The German batteries came into
action but accomplished nothing to-
ward disturbing progress of the raid
Inc Americans entered the enemy
trenches behind one side of a "box"
barrage. They found numerous Ger
mans hiding in the dugouts. In the
hand-to-hand fighting which followed
a number of the enemy were killed ar
wounded.

Going far beyond their detectives
lhe rdloers penetrated several hundred
yards into the German trenches. The
Americans failed to find the Germans
who had been Withdrawn hurriedly
from the first lines.
In the hand-to-hand fighting the
Americans used their automatic pistols
land rifles.
The Americans fought so fast and
did their work so quickly that the
medical men who accompanied them
had little to do. Every American who
|left the front line returned. On the way
back the Americans ran into a listening
post. In less time than it takes to tell
1t the Germans in the listening post
were silenced.f
1t was all over so quickly that the
German batteries did not have a good
chance to get into action. The Ameri-
cans were inside the enemy lines for
fifteen minutes.

FARM BUREAU NOTES

The wOman's committees of the
Farm Bureau has had very busy
summer, as they endeavored to carry
out the injunction to can all you can.
They have also remembered the Red
Cross and have been busily filling a
few extra jars for this purpose. Now
the committees have proved what can
be accomplished through regular or
ganized effort. When they started to
distribute the jars for this purpose
most people thought they could not
do anything this year because there
was so little fruit. But the Farm
Bureau Committee kept at it, and the
results show what can be done even
under most favorable conditions. The
result is more than $500 quarts of
fruit for the Red Cross. It has been
contributed by the following districts:
Bridgeville-1000 quarts.
MillsborO-516 quarts.
Greenwood-300 quarts.
Seaford District-1S5 quarts. be-
sides 300 or more which the Seaford
Red Cross Society reports.

producers find themselves compelled
to sell at a price under that "guaran-

ready to buy at the price promised.
AT the same time. the unlimited price
of cotton is pretty well maintained.
and the cotton growers are in finan-

their product OF the market for a
still higher figure. The President

WHEN AN EPIDEMIC of colds, and
grip and influenza spread over the
country, claiming its victims by the
thousands, the Fuel Administration
denied that any order had been made
which prohibited the starting of heat
ing plants in Office and apartment
buildings, schools and residences. 1t
may be true that no express order
was issued to that effect, but the peo-
pie have been presented with daily
bulletins telling of the scarcity of
coal and the danger Of extreme short
age next winter, with the result that
householders have felt that they must
suffer from some cold now in order
not to suffer from greater cold later.
Owners of Office buildings and apart
ments have made the scarcity of coal
the excuse for not supplying heat
when the temperature demanded it
Whatever may have been the origin
OF the epidemic, it is altogether prob
able that nine-tenths of its spread has
been due to the chilly conditions of
homes and offices. and the dampness
that goes with cold rooms. There is
not much economy in saving coal
bills and paying doctor and hospital
and undertaken bills.
