.FOCH RESERVES NOW
CONE INTO ACTION
Our Boys Continue To Hold Cantigny and
Their Own Against All Hun
Counter Attacks

Slowly but surely, the plunge of the
German Crown Princes armies is be-
ing haulted by the French and British
armies While the momentum of the
German masses has not as yet spent
| itself, there has been a notable slack
ening in its advance during the past
day. The chief efforts of the Germans
now seem to be devoted to the widin-
ing of the gap they have torn in the
positions of the allies between Pinon
and Brimont. This work seems to be
progressing slowly against the desper
ate resistance of the allied forces.
The French. having fallen back
from the limits of the city of Sois-
sons, have stood their ground against
the attacks of the enemy, and the Ger
man official statement fails to show
material advances there during the
days fighting. The French are here
| fighting on familiar ground which
has been made historic by unmer-
| GUS battles some of which are named
among the decisive combats of his
tory.
On the eastern end of the fighting
line some of the forts before Rheims
are said to have fallen, which was to
be expected from the fact that they
have been outflanked by the tide of
invasion that was swept far to the
south of the city.
The fighting has taken on the fami-
liar aspect of the first invasion of
France in 1914, the advance is now
approaching the valley of the Marne,
the nearest approach to that tVenue
toward Paris at the village of Vexli-
ly, which lies at the extreme apex of
the German wedge and is about seven
miles from the river. In 1914 the
Germans advanced over a front ex-
tending from Braisne, just east of
Scissors. to Vauquois. a little west of
Verdun. After having reached the
Marne the Teutons turned the force
of their advance toward the west
and they may be expected to repeat
their tactics of four years ago.
The reserve forces at the command
of General Foch are now coming into
action on ground chosen for the com
bat by that master strategist, and it
is possible that blow of tremendous
proportions may be struck somewhere
along the front of the German wave,
or on its western side, which seems
to be open to an attack which might
crumple up the German armies to the
east of Scissors.
The Americans who captured Can
tigny have beaten off attack after
attack by the Germans. Large Ger
man forces are said to have been
gathered to retake the village, and |
they have launched savage assaults
an the Americans, but the latter,
with rifle and machine gun fire have
moved down the advancing Teutons
while the American artillery has
smashed the German formations
with barrage fire. Along the Ameri- !
can held positions in the Toul and |
Lunevile sectors there have been
several spirited engagements. but
nowhere have the Germans succeeded
in penetrating the American lines.
The fighting in the air ON those sec
tors has been of remarkable intensity,
with the Americans holding their own
against the foe.

prove beyond question an advance is

edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits,
barley -four. potato -four, sweet potato

Graham and whole wheat flour con-
stitute an exception to the national

ties may be sold at the ratio of three
pounds to five pounds Of wheat -four
that Is, five pounds Of graham or
wheat -four counts the same as three

Mixed flours form another eIcep-

that Americans are obligated to
meet. r 4-s.-- ~ 4, grv,
In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to
come by the Unprecedented
shipping to market of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each in
stead Of 2O3 pounds-the nor
NAL.
The United States Food Ad-
ministration, endeavorlng to ad-
just the international food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions in this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time asked for smaller con-
sumption of breadstuffs.
We are asked to Observe only
one meatless day each week

meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to minimum.
In altering Its food conserva-
ton program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation is Of necessity, .
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
home and abroad and by the
precariOus transportation prob

and In Americas overburdened

keep the American people fully
