The French are stll solidly holdits
every bridge head and passage across
the Marne.
AS result Of this determined resist
ence the Germans apparently have
withdrawn from the edge OF the river
back onto the palteau above the river
valley where they are now seeking to
advance west.
Checked in their attempts to cross
the Marne the Germans are now con
finng their efforts to break down the
resistance on the wings at Rheims and
in the region of Scissors
British troops on the eastern flank
are checking all progress in that di
rection despite the fact that Rheims
is partially surrounded.
Consequently the Germans heaviest
efforts are to the west OF scissors with
the purpose Of linking the present ad
vance with the original Amiens drive.

GAS FOR AUTOISTS
TO BE CURTAILEO

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The possi-
bility of a curtailment of the use of
gasoline by pleasure automobiles within
the next sixty or ninety days Is being
discussed by officials Of the Oil Conser-
vetion Division of the Fuel Administra-
tion.
Mark L. Requa. head of the division.
said yesterday that no decision had been
reached, and that any action to be. taken
was dependent on developments as to
the requirements of the government
within the next sixty days.
Determining factors in the situation
viii be the needs for aircraft and motor
vehicles engaged in war activities in
France. Officials here feel that the time
is approaching rapidly when curtail-
ment must be put into effect. An unex-
peetedly heavy demand on the govern
ment's surplus stocks of gasoline would
require immediate conservation
1t is hinted that voluntary restriction
may be tried out on pleasure cars. but
the supply for delivery vehicles will not
be reduced. The plan most favored Is to
call on automobilists voluntarily to re-
duce their consumption of gasoline and
If this measure fails. to put a check on
its use through limiting the supply sta
tions.

MA YW0OD
SALE SET
FOR JUNE 8

The big haywood lot sale is sched-
uled for June to 9. This as accord
Ing TO the announcement of Hastings.
Woods & Co. the exclusive sales agents
Of the subdivision.
In spite OF the fact that seventy-fve
lots have already been sold there are
plenty of them left as there are 325
lots in the entire subdivision. Some
of the best corners are yet TO be pur-
chased.
There are several novel features
about haywood. 1t IS the first subdi-
vision in Hammond to have restric-
tions Of two cIassifcations. The Co.
lumbia avenue frontage is restricted
to business houses and the rest of the
subdivision is restricted to residences.
No houses may be built in haywood
that viii cost less than s2.5Oo and on
some streets the restriction is $500.
No shacks viii be permitted The rea-
son for this is the fact that fine modern
homes are being built on the property
for sale on terms that are less than It
would cost to build a shack and the
necessity for shacks is accordingly be-
Meved to have been removed.
Already there are twenty-five new
homes either in the process Of con-
struction or determined upon. IN fact
the development of haywood is expected
to be SO rapid that it is proposed to
have progress pictures taken every
month to show just what Hammond
can do when It gets started to build
ing.
All Of the features of past sales Will
be introduced by Hastings. Wood & Co,
and there will be many new ideas work
ed out There viii be plenty of in
terest and excitement at the sale a week
from today and tomorrow
The full effect of the boom al the
Standard is not expected to be felt un-
til after the first of September so that
those who buy now will avoid a sure
increase in prices and will have the
first pick of the subdivision.

To the People Of West Hammond and

As Cook County's Red Cross drive

appreciation Of the loyal support that
you gave this work Of mercy. The
response was practically unanimous.
These two cities with an aggregate
population Of about seventy-fve hun
dred, composed OF working people
and OF people Of very moderate
means subscribed an aggregate OF
ninety-hve hundred dollars. There
were about twenty-five hundred sub
scrtbers in West Hammond who gave
e4ghty-seven hundred, and about two
hundred subscribers in Burnhana,
who gave eight hundred dollars.
The fact thai there were only three
subscriptions Of one hundred dollars
or more, makes the showing more
eredttab1e.
Grateful acknowledgment Is also
made Of the valuable assistance
gratuitously rendered by THE LAKE
COUNTY TIMES.
Yours very truly,

Prince are thrusting southwark
across the country traversed in
1914, drunk with the success of the
first phase of battle, the German
high command is making every eff
fort to deceive the allies as to fu-
ture turnings of the offensive.
Some prisoners claim one thing,
some another. Some declare the
Reims offensive is merely second
ary and that the real blow is to
come. Others say the main thrust
is to be toward Ypres.
