tNerdun 'front.' and in Upper Alsace,

United States Wants Oil
Tax in Mexico Delayed

Washington, March 7.-Mexico has
been requested by the American gov
eminent to delay enforcement of and
reconsider its decree of last Febru-
ary %, imposing heavier taxes on oil
producers and canoeing oil leases
made since April so, 1917. Both Amer
lean and English operators in the
Mexican fields have protested that tho
new tax virtually is confiscatory.
AS a large part of the oil supply
for the British naval forces comes
from Mexico, any interruption of the
output would be a serious obstacle in
the conduct of the war. Consequently
both the United States and Great
Britain regard the new decree as d
subject for diplomatic representation,
probably in view of reports that Mex
lean officials are determined to en-
force it Immediately.

Price of MatzOth or
Unleavened Bread Fixed
By Food Administration

Washington, March "A maximum re-
tail price of 10 to "a cents a pound for
matzoth was set today by the food adj
ministration after an investigation of
complaints that makers of the unleav-
ened bread prescribed for the Jewish
Passover festival were preparing to take
advantage of the ritual requirements by
demanding exorbitant. prices. Resales
within the trade were forbidden, as be-
ing largely responsible for unreasonable
price advances
If matzoth is not locally produced, the
cost of transportation may be added to
the retail price, which was said to be
a slight increase over last year, but much
lower than those now prevailing. In
some places % cents a pound has been
asked for the bread.

CAPTURES LIEUTENANT

With the American Army in Frame
Wednesday, March 6.-(By the Associated
Press. AN American staff colonel while
with a French raiding party, for the
purpose of securing information, few
| days before his men took up their rela-
tive positions in the new American sec
tor on the Lorraine front, met Pr,ls-
sian lieutenant in an enemy barred
trench and captured him. The colonel,
with an American captain, brought the
Prussian officer back to the lines the
Americans are now occupying.
The German raid in this new sector
occurred on Monday night, sharp fight
taking place in which the Germans suf-
which was among the most recent ar
rivals displayed the customary American
fighting energy and apparently gave the
enemy a much warmer reception than he
expected.
The American troops here are training
with French troops as at the Chemin-
des- Danes position. This makes the
third American force now facing the
enemy.
service here the casualties have been ex-
traordinarily slight, as the sector is one
of the quietest. The lines are far apart
and the position is held by strong point
positions rather than by the three-line
continuous trenches.
The Prussian officers capture was the
first instance of an enemy officer being
taken prisoner by the Americans, and
also the first occasion upon which an
American officer had captured either an
enemy officer or soldier in this sector.
Paris March Am official statement
issued today by the French war office
announcing the repulse of German raid
ing forces on trenches held by Ameri-
cans in a new sector of the Lorraine
says:
North Of the Chemin- Des-D Danes and
east of Courcy, French troops conducted
successful raids on the German trenches
and brought back about 20 prisoners.
ION the right bank of the River Mouse
there was violent artillery fighting In the
region of Caurieres and Chaume woods.
At the last mentioned place, the Ger
mans yesterday morning delivered an at
tack but were repulsed after spirited
fighting.
Another German attack at Terrapin
wood was completely checked by the
French counter attack and we took some
prisoners.
I'm Lorraine German raid on trenches
held by American troops was repulsed.
Patrols of our allies operating in this
region took some prisoners.
