All those | saw were husky speci-

there were Americans opposing them,

they were fighting. -. 49,,

NEW YORK, June 14.-The Ger

The German offensive has now

fve miles deep. It provides splendid
shelter for artillery and especially
for machine nests. Won Hindenburg

Americans Won't
Let Up For Rest,
Enemy Complains
Weary Pnlssian Prisoner Says
Our Men Are Too Eager,
always Looking for
Trouble"

With the American forces on the
Marne, June 14.-There have been no
counter attacks by the enemy on our
newly won positions in Belleau Wood,
because the Germans have lost heav-
lily and are too weary to fight.
That is the gist of the information
derived from the interrogations of
prisoners captured by our troops yes
terday morning.
"It's this way" said one Prussian
infantryman, who learned English in
Newark, N. j., "All the European
troops are sick of fighting and are
perfectly willing to take things easy.
But you Americans, on the other hand
are out looking for trouble-just ach-
ing to get into a scrap. That makes
it damned uncomfortable for us op-
posite you. We had to keep our eyes
open all the time because your fell
lows were always trying to start some
thing"
Sniping by Artillery.
Today all was peaceful save for
intermittent gusts Of shells from

HOMES RELEASED FROM
WHEAT SAVING PLEDGE

Another step toward partial re-
sumption by the nation of its old
habit of eating was taken yesterday
by the Food Administration in re-
leasing housewives from voluntary
pledges to curtail the consumption
of wheat. This follows closely the
release of hotels, restaurants, clubs,
and dining car services from their
pledge, effective August l.
No change has been made, the
Food Administration announced, in
the half and-half rule, and purchas-
ers of wheat flour will be required to
continue the purchase of an equal
weight of wheat substitutes. Bakers
are still required to make "victory'
bread, containing at least 25 per cent
wheat substitutes. Coming in of the
new wheat crop has made ii possible
for the release of voluntary wheat
saving pledges, the administration
said.

A CORRECTION

The Executive Committee and the
Hospital Supplies Committee, of the
Montgomery county Red Cross Chap
ter finds it advisable to explain,
again, that the services of all loyal
women, of every church denomina-
ton, as well as those not identified
with any church, are needed in the
making of hospital and military re-
lief supplies. Any statement to the
contrary is without foundation in
fact.
While similar announcements have
appeared in these columns before,
some slight misunderstanding still
exists in the public mind.
Making Red Cross supplies is the
privilege and obligation of every
woman in the county.
Help is Immediately needed in fill
ing a large government order which
must be furnished by September
first.
Anyone who has sewing machine
not now in use, will render a great
service by lending it to the Red
Cross.
Headquarters at the Presbyterian
Parish House, are open every Tues
day and Wednesday from nine to
five. The committees earnestly hope
that a generous response of volun-
teer workers will result from this
appeal.
