News Received EAGERLY.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-News OF
the beginning of a Franco-American
smash between the Aisne and the
Marine was received with intense
eagerness by military officials at the
war department.
The sweeping attack, in which
American regulars and marines
swept forward from one to nearly
two miles between Fontenoy, near
scissors. and Belleau, west of Cha
-Thierry, was looked upon as in
tended to turn the German flank.
The attack apparently is at right
angles with the line of recent Ger
man advance. The latest allied at
tack is expected to harrass the enc
nv and divert the German thrust by
an attack from behind.
This move may serve to halt or
delay an apparent plan of the Ger
mans for an attack around Albert.
That the allies were on the often
sive was particularly cheering to
American army officers who long
have chafed at a purely defensive
policy.

Food Announcement.

The food administration is urging
that housekeepers conserve on sugar
in canning fruit This statement does
not fall on dull ears, when house
Keepers are not able to buy sugar be-
cause of its scarcity, yet the fruit crop
must be saved Fruit is necessary
for a balanced ration and is essential
to health. The following suggestions
show how to meet the situation:
Dry fruits in large quantities.
Can fruits and fruit juices without
sugar. This may be successfully done
by the cold pack methed- They will
keep as we'll or better. Less space
is necessary. They may be made inta
sauces, jelly or sirups as needed
Use the minimum amount of sweet
ening for fruits Cultivate taste for
the natural fruit flavor The fruit
acids are especially important in the
diet.
Limit the amounts OF jelly and pre-
serves. These should be limited to
the needs of invalids and children.
These may be made as needed from
unsweetened canned fruits and juices.
Use the least possible amount of
SUGAR or strip in making these.
Use sugar substitutes for cooking
fruits and in fruit combinations. These
are:
Brown sugar, corn sugar, corn strip,
fruit sirups, glucose, honey, maple
sugar, maple strip, sorghum, New
Orleans molasses.
Use raw fruits without sugar. Fresh,
ripe fruits may be enjoyed at table
without sugar just as when eaten in
orchard or garden.
Use less sugar with little salt for
jam and marmalade. When made this
way the product should stand five or
six days before using. The salt taste
disappears in this time.
