WAR SERVICE CONVENTION Of
CLUB WOMEN Of AMERICA HAS
BEEN ITS MOST HISTORIC ONE

President Mrs Cowles Presented With
Handsome Silver Basket Boquet of
Roses as Testimonial From Peopleof
Hot Springs to the Convention
The Sentinel=record., 1918-05-09

New York, May S.--What possibly
may prove to be the prelude toward
the long expected resumption of hos
Titles by the Germans on the west
ern front is being played.
Southeast of Ypres from the region
Of Voormezeel to Laclyte the Germans
have launched an attack against the
British and French troops holding the
line and at certain points over the
five mile front they have met with
some success by penetrating front
line trenches.
Apparently, however. over the
greater part Of the field of combat
they will meet with defeat.
AS Is usual the enemy began the
combat after a preliminary heavy
bombardment. The ground is south
of Dickebusch lake and in Ridgewood
around which places hard fighting was
continuing at last accounts.
The objective of the enemy seems
to be the pushing forward Of his line
in this region in order still further
to outflank Ypres on the southwest
and press on toward Poeperlnghe and
the railway line running between that
town and Ypres.
AS yet only meagre advlces have
come through concerning the nature

Attack Is Launched Against
the British and French
Over Five Mile Front.
The Objective of the Germans Seem to
Be to Outflank Ypres on the South
west - Americans for First Time
Have Operated Against the Germans
With Their Heavy Artillery

OF the engagement, but unofficial re-
ports indicate that it was made only
in divisional strength. Whether It
would develop into another OF the
great battles that have been fought
in this area could not be foretold.
On the remainder of the front in
Flanders and Picardy artillery duels
and small operations continue on iso--
lated sectors. The French south OF
Daclyte have penetrated German ad-
vanced positions and taken prisoners
and the Australians east of Amiens
have again pinched in and taken over
portions of the German line The ar
tillery activity has been particularly
heavy on both sides of the Avre, south
of Amiens and on tn esetcor In Pic
ardy held by the American troops.
On the Toul hector the Americans
for the first time have operated
against the Germans with their heavy
artillery.
On the other battle fronts the op--
| erations continue of minor char
aoter. In MesOpotamia the British
have advanced their line to within
eight miles of Moseul, capturing the
town of Kerkuk. which the Turks
evacuated without giving battle.

ATTORNEYS DEFENDING THE
PRISONERS THREATEN TO
WITHDRAW FROM CASE.

Chicago. May S.--A split in the
ranks of the !. w. w, 1t2 of whom
are on trial for seditious conspiracy
here, resulted today when counsel for
the defense threatened to withdraw
from the case unless an attempt by
the radical element to practice sa-
botage against the federal district

lands had just warned the defend
ants that further efforts to place l.
w. w. periodicals where Jurors might
find them would not be tolerated
when George F. Vanderveer. their
chief counsel, shouted: 'If any more
papers are brought into this building
threatening this court we quit"
Hurried consultations were held.
but radical members of the group said
they could not guarantee any organi-
cation propaganda finding It's way In
to court.
"Are you not making love to the
government, Vanderveer?" asked one.
I'VE have been patient too long with
your radical moves" he replied.
The publication to which Judge
lands called attention, the Industrial
Worker of Seattle, warned the court,

DRAFT AGE MAY Be
RAISED TO 40
EES@a'
is DISCUSSED BY
GENERAL CRoWDER AND THE
MILITARY COMMITTEE.

Washington. May 8.-Legislation
raising the draft age to forty years
was discussed as a possibility with
in few months at q meeting today
of Provost Marshall General Crowder
and the house military committee. AL
though General Crowder made no spe-
cific recommendation, members of the
committee said afterwards that the
war department was considering a
plan for changes.
An appropriation of $751; 900 was
asked by General Crowder for ex-
penses of the draft for the next fiscal
year. Registration of men reaching
the age of 81 will require the ex-
animation, he said, of half a million
more men than originally provided
for. Glass one, the general said. now
has a total of about 2,265,000 men,
Of two million are effectives.
Chairman Dent announced he would
ask the house to eliminate an amend
ment giving states credit for count
ers. In a letter to Mr.. Dent today
| President Wilson came out in opposi-
tion to the credit plan. The confer
lence report on the bill for registra-
tion of youths becoming 21 would be
called up in the house tomorrow with
prospects of a lively debate over the
proposal to exempt ministers from
the law.

AMERICAN ARTILLERY
SHELLS GERMAN POSITIONS

With the American Army In France,
May 8.--American heavy artillery
was fired today for the first time in
the sector northwest Of Toul After
several weeks spent In preparation the
American artilleryists having picked
out targets in the rear of Montsec re-
ported they were ready to open fire
a couple Of days ago. But for rea-
sons not disclosed the guns were not
fired until today.
About forty big shells were sent
over Montsec at the heavy German
batteries composed OF 203's captured
from the Russians which had been
firing for some time, especially at
the American battery positions
Reports received from all the fronts
on which the Americans are engaged
with the exception of Picardy said
that quiet prevailed tonight, princi-
pally because Of the bad weather.
The artillery activity was normal, al
though the enemy was usng few gas
shells intermittently in the Luneville
sector.

RMAN- AMERICAN
rs CAUGHT SPYING

With the American Army in
France, May 9.-The first Ger
an-American to be caught spy
ing on the Americans is safely in
custody. Behind the character
ization Of traitor to his country,
contained in the report Of his ar
rest, is the story that he aided a
German prisoner to escape. Both
men donned American officers
uniforms and entered the line
from the rear late in the after
noon. They said they were study
ing the ground between the lines
with the view of using the tanks
and asked to be allowed to cross
the lines. The officer to whom
they made their request soon dis
covered their ruse and ordered
them conducted to the rear.
There it was found that one of
the men was a German and that
the German American was his
accompIce.

EIGHT GUNNERS KILLED
BY EXPLOSIVE SHELL
ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY ONE
OF THE MEN EMPTING
TO FORCE THE SHELL INTO
$40 THE GUN.
SSSsSaA

Fort Worth, Texas, May S-Eight
American gunners were killed and
seven were injured more or less serl-
.ously near BenbroOk, a few miles west
iof Fort Worth, when three inch
shell exploded at rnree o'clock this
afternoon. One gun crew, comprised
.of members of the headquarters com
pany of the 141st infantry was en-
tirely wiped out and a second from
headquarters company of the 142nd
infantry suffered heavy casualties.
Six of the men were instantly killed
and two died within a short time
after the explosion. First reports
that trench mortars had exploded
were erroneous.
An attempt on tine part Of a gun
ner to force the shell, which appar-
emily did not fit down a trench NOR
tar is believed to have been respon-
sible for the accident. Sergeant
Norman Bow, a Canadian, who is an
assistant instructor for the Stokes
trench mortar, said tonight he saw
soldier attempting to force the shell
and that he attempted to warn the
gunner. The explosion came too
quick, however, and Bow was slightly
wounded by fragment of the shell.
The dead: First Lieutenant Alan j.

General +. st. John Greble, COM
manding officer at Camp Bowie, was
standing less than ten yards from the
scene of the explosion, with his two
aides, Captain Houghton and Lieuten-
ant Russell. They were uniniured.
lieutenant Colonel Metcalfe, divi-
sion surgeon, and an enlisted man,
also stood nearby The enlisted man
was instantly killed, but Metcalfe
was uninjured.
The bodies Of some Of the victims
were literally blown to pieces.
The 14tst and 142nd infantry regi-
Lments were at the trench system near
Benbrook and their firing practice
was being watched by a large crowd
of civilians from a distance. New
mortars were being used for the first
time and the sound of heavy firing
at the camp had been plainly heard
in Fort Worth since early morning.
The two gun crews, made up of
men from the headquarters compan-
les of the thwo brigades, were oper-
ating the new mortars which were
located on a hill overlooking the
trench system.
There had been nothing to mar the
| days practice firing until the explo-
sion came at $40 o'clock. The en-
tire breech of the mortar was blown
out and fragments flew in every di-
rection, killing or iniuring everyone
struck by the flying pieces of steel

were most happily received. She
sang The Road to France and "Oh,

the popular songs that have become

Canning and Packing For VIM
ter's Use Explained in Detail by
National War Garden Experts.
CANNING TOMATOES

Select fresh, ripe. firm tomatoes
Grade for size, ripeness and quality.
They will cook better if the same de-
gree of ripeness and quality, and will
look better. Wash, scald one-half to
one and one-half minutes or until the
skins loosen. but do not break. Scald
means to immerse in boiling water.
Cold dip, but do not allow them to
remain in the cold water. Cut out
the stem end. taking care not to cut
into the seed cells or the seed and
pulp will later be scattered through
the liquid. Remove the skins. Send
for the free canning manual which
the National War Garden Commits
sion. Washington, will send to you
upon request for a 2-cent stamp to
cover postage.
Pack the tomatoes whole in the
jars, doing one jar from the begin
ming to placing in sterilizer, before
starting on another. Shake down
well, hitting the base of jar with palm
of hand, and also press with table,
spoon, but avoid crushing.
Do not add water. Hot tomato
pulp may be added. otherwise add no
liquid whatever. Tomatoes are an
exception to the general rule of hot
water for vegetables and hot water or
hot syrup for fruits. A large part of
the tomato is water. 1t is not neces-
sary to add anything but one level
