TWO NEUTRAL SHIPS SUNK
Norwegian Vessels Sent Down OFF the
Virginia Coast.

Washington.-Germapy's sea wolves
have sunk two more neutral vessels in
American waters. The latest victims
OF the raiders which first made their
appearance off the Atlantic coast three
weeks ago were the sailing ship Kring-
siaa. and the bark Samoa, both Norwe-
Cian. The crew of the former was
picked up by an American warship and
brought to an Atlantic port, and that
Of the latter was landed at Norfolk.
The result Of the registration Of
young men coming Of age since June s.
1917. shows that about 100000 are
available for classification. The war
department expected a million. but
two hundred thousand Of this million
have enlisted.
Before another month congress VIII
probably reduce the enlisting age to
is years. This reduction WI give the
Z. S. 100000 more available men.
The draft age will probably go up

TeJl0N LOSSES GIGANTIC
American Guns on the Marine Stop the
Huns-so,0o0 German Casualties
Between Montddler and Noyon.

Paris.-Eighty THOUSAND Germans
were killed, wounded or made prisoner
during the offensive between MoRtdi-
der and Noyon, Capt. Andrew Tardieu,
who accompanied Premier Clemenceau
to the front, told Marcel Hutin, editor
of the Echo de Paris, upon his return
to Paris.
With the American Forces on the
Marne.-Several German patrols which
attempted to approach the American
lines in the Marine sector we're smashed
by the accuracy of the American ma.
chine gun fire. One German patrol
was almost wiped out.
Two German prisoners, who, after
escaping from a detention camp 100
miles to the rear of the American front.
six days ago, wandered through the
woods and bushes, and swan rivers in
the night time, we're captured in the
American lines. The prisoners said
they had Travelled with comparative
ease until they approached American
territory, where it became so hot that
they could not cross to the German
lines.

SUCCESSFULLY RESIST HUNS
The italians, With Their French and
British Allies counter-Attack Wig
orousIy Everywhere.

Italian Army Headquarters.-The
Italians, with their French and British
allies, are successfully resisting the
Austrian onslaught and are counter-at-
lacking vigorously everywhere. In ad-
dition there is acute watchfulness for
all enemy movements either in the
Bretna river area, the mountains or
toward the plains.
Whether the enemy effort upon Mon
tello plateau is an attempt to move to-
ward the rear of the famous Monte
Grappa, key to the Italian mountain
positions, or else to menace the We.
netian plains and the city of Venice,
1t is certain that the Austrians are
fighting desperately to hold what they
have so far attained.
The Italian command feels that while
the first great attempt to advance has
been blocked, each day will bring new
efforts, and with each effort the fight
ing will be more arduous.

GUN FIRE IS VERY ACCURATE
Artillery Barrage Let Down by AmerI-
can Gunners InfIiets Heavy Loss
on Enemy Raldino Party.

With the American Army In France.
The carefully rehearsed German attack
on the American positions in the vii
lage Of Xivray was broken up largely
by machine gun and rifle fire. The
German attack was made for the pur-
pose Of taking prisoners, according to
statements OF Germans captured by
the Americans.
The artillery barrage let down by
the American gunners inflicted consid-
cradle losses on the large enemy raid,
ing party as II crossed No Mans Land,
but the raid was actually stopped by
the hot fire from the American machine
guns, The gunners everywhere stuck
to their posts in The face of the at
tack.

According to prisoners, the object
Of the enemy was to take American

FLOUR RATION IS REDUCED
The Food Situation In Germany IL
Critlcal-PeopIe Ask When Suf-
ficlent Food Is Forthcoming.

London.-The food situation in Ger.
many Is becoming more critical. RAJ
lions of the more indispensable arti-
cles are reduced or are not obtainable
and the people are beginning to ask
when there will be sufficient food to
Feed the population Of the large towns
during three critical months ahead.
As to the situation In the immediate
future, everything indicates that the
period until the fruits Of the new har-
vest become available is likely to be
one OF grave anxiety and distress for
the German pepole. Only dire neces-
sity could have compelled the govern
nent to reduce the flour ration from
seven to five and half ounces.
The Chemnitzz Volkstimme says:
kindly spare us Ukarine promises.
We have been fooled too often with
empty words. Tell the people the
plain truth"
The Berlin Vorwaerts declares that
the physical and moral powers Of the
population to endure privations have
been diminished through another year
of war diet and that any further re-
auction of the rations must constitute
n serious danger
Meat Is scarce and even now 1t is
impossible to provide the large towns
with their proper quotas OF meat.

CAPTURE GERMANS
IN MIDNIGHT FIGHT
ATTACK IN THE HINGES SECTION
PREclPITATEs HAND-To-
HAND CONFLICT.
TONNES ARE THE VICTORs
Unusual Feature of the Attack Was
That II Was Conducted Entirely
In the Dark, Starting Just
Before Midnight.

With the British Army in France
Intense bombardments have been car
Tied out by the Germans in various
sectors along the British front. These
have been especially heavy in Elan
ders, about Hinges, where the British
advanced their line considerably, and
in the region of Dickebusch and Scher-
penberg.
The attack was made along a front
OF $500 yards just east Of Hinges. 1t
had its northern extremity near La
Pannerie, The Germans were holding
q strong line of shell crater positions
close to the British on the eastern
bank of the La Bassee canal.
A limited objective of 500 yards in
depth was set for the enterprise. An
unusual feature of the attack was
that 1t was conducted entirely in the
dark. 1t began shortly before mid
night. There was no moon to guide
the assaulting troops, and the success
of the entering troops depended on
each man keeping his right direction
as he pushed forward in the black
ness.
Holding this sector for the Germans
was the 18th reserve division, which
was among the first to violate Belgian
soil 1t was the 18th division which
committed so horrifying deeds in Ter
monde and Louvain, which brought
down upon It the excavations Of hun
dreds of helpless Belgian women.
The attack was preceded by an eight
minute bombardment of the front line
positions. At the same time British
Kunners were carrying out effective
counter battery shooting and the heavy
artillery was pounding the enemy
back area hard.
AS the British advanced the enemy
opened heavy fire from every ma
chine gun nest along the line The
Germans we're shooting more or less
blindly In the dark, which saved the
British many casualties. But 1t was
firing work to push ahead through the
barrage OF bullets sweeping waist high
across No Mans Land. The attacking
infantry finally reached the enemy's
posts and bitter hand-to-hand fighting
occurred at most OF these nests.
Upwards of 200 prisoners remained
In the British hands. Large numbers
Of German dead against gun positions
told of the desperate fighting.
