TELLS MOTHER THE HUNS
GET NO MERCY NOW
FROM THE AMERICANS

Private Frank Pagan of No. 81
Munson street, Long Island City, who
was in the thick Of the June brush
between the United States Marine
Corps, Of which he is member, and
the Germans, writes an interesting
letter to his mother, Mrs. Mary A.
Pagan, in which he describes his ex-
perience in the raids that started the
present drive.
"The Huns were coming at the rate
OF five and ten miles day and it was
up to us to break their great often
sive," writes Pagan. 1--WE had only
been in the trenches half day when
we saw them coming over the hills
The French dropped back but we held
cur own and held them off until the
next morning and made a raid on
them.
Battle to the Death
1--WE killed off their men as they did
ours-both sides lost heavily, but the
Huns lost the most, as they had the
majority of ten to one against us. In
this first attack we took over 600 pris
oners, counting wounded. Shippers
were picking off our men and 1t was
UP to us to give it to them once more.
We were pretty we'll weakened, but
what is that in fighting men!
"In all the battle, counting killed
and wounded and captured, the Ger
mans lost approximately 1900 men, as
we had taken over 800 prisoners. We
lost heavily as we had only one Off
Ger out of our company and seventy
five men. We lost our captain, as he
was shot in both legs. We started
out with $50 men in our company
alone. ] believe it was the good
prayers from you and all at hame
that brought me out alive, as I had
been knocked down twice with shells
and hit five times, but not wounded
enough to put on first aid dressing.

per month or about one cup week.
This request can be most easily
carried out. Some sugar substitutes
are more expensive. Use them II
necessary. If busy take more time
and study to adjust the usual recipes,
but the American women should GER
tainly be the ones to take the extra
time and trouble.
Use as little sugar as possible but
continue to give the family sufficient
and satisfying food.
England's sugar ration is 2 pounds
per month.
Frances sugar ration is pound
per month, il obtainable.
Italy's sugar ration is pound per
month, or less.
Suggestions on How to Meet the
Present Sugar Regulations
|. Use less sugar by:
a. Using more fresh fruits for
deserts.
N. B. Watermelons are rich in sug-
ar. Use them while they are in
abundance. You make little by pre-
serving the rind.
b. Cooking fresh and dried fruits
at low temperature. Cooked this
way the fruits do not need sugar
added.
N. B.-Use the Fireless Cooker in
cooking fruits. This saves fuel also
makes them sweeter.
c. Cooking dried fruits and raisins
with the cereals.
N. B.-Omit the sugar in serving
cereals cooked with fruit.
d. Cook cereals slowly for a long
time.
e. Add a minimum amount of sug-
ar to tea and coffee. Stir we'll Do
not serve iced tea and iced coffee
f. Do not cover cakes with icing.
6. Do not use heavy sugar sauces
in deserts.
!. Do not buy or use candy made
from sugar
II. Substitute honey, cane or corn
syrup, maple sugar and syrup or mo-
lasses in the place of sugar in max
ing cakes, buildings, cookies, gela-
tines, ice creams, and ices. Use one
cup of syrup or honey in the place
of one cup of sugar, but be certain
to decrease the amount of liquid used
in the recipe in order to obtain the
proper consistency. To do this &C.
curately add liquid last.
