| Drive Toward Amiens Increasing.
[By Henry Wood, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, April 26.-The Germans
are continuing the development OF
their attack against Amfens with in
creasing violence. aiming eventually
at a separation of the Franco-Brit1sh
forces.
This is an indication of Hinden-
burg's determination to force SUI
preme. decisive contest, which IN.
ouestionably has been induced by the
fact that preceding the present attack
the Germans already had engaged l3t
divisions q 100000 mem, OF which
approximately only fifty rank as first
or second class units, with which &c
force the final issue.
The German drive towards Amiens
is increasing. In the meantime, the
allies have had time to take the
greatest defensive precautions. IN
consequence, the victorious outcome
is likely to rest with the side hav
ing the best generalshtp. the most mu
nitions and the most reserves.
7 AS the result of unifying the allied
command Foch is consistently oppos
ing the present attack, as heretofore
with the minimum forces necessary
preferring to lose ground rather than
uselessly sacrifice his reserves.
While the two preceding German
drives lasted ten days each with FIVE
day Intervals for organizing, it is con
sidered doubtful that the Germans
with their limited unmber of fresh di
visions left from the violence OF the
present attack, can exceed theil
precedents.

little more ground for further slaugh-
ter Of German man power.
Tho key to the entire west front
situation At the present moment is the
impossibility for Hindenburg to stop
his offensive efforts without confess
ing the ruin Of his great plan to end
the war before Americas military
strength can be brought to bear There
is every reason for confidence IN Cen
eral Foch's ability to prevent this by
compelling the uninterrupted payment
OF German casualties on continu-
ously high scale.
Hindenburg has not yet reached his
Moscow, but the basis Of the strategy
that overthrow Napoleon In Russia Is
now being used by General F'och un.
der modern conditions. Hindenburg's
progress in the west will eventually
exhaust him. through the too costly
expenditure Of human lives, Just as
Napoleon progressed, but lost his
man power in Russia. Hindenburg
however, will not abandon his quest
yet. He has become the victim Of his
own ruthless machine. He cannot
guide 1t. He can only feed the ma
chine with German lives and trust
blindly to fate, which is moving mex
1 orably against him.

new FLOUR RULE
IS NOW IN FORCE
Instead OF Equal Amount OF Substi-
tute for Wheat Only One.Half is
Required in Sale.
RESTAURANTS OBEYING ORDERS
Meatless Breakfasts and Wheatless
Suppers Are Being Served in
Local Eating Houses.

Rock Island people who purchase
Yheat -four now have to buy only one
half an equal amount of substitute.
Announcement to this effect was
made today by NJ. O. Griswold. chair
man of the Rock Island county food
board. Mr. Griswold declared that he
had received orders from the federal
food administration amending the
order which became effective a short
time ago.
Heretofore, the order called for the
dealer to sell the patron an equal
amount of cereal substitute as wheat
flour. For each pound of -four bought
one pound of substitute had to be pur-
chased. Now for each two pounds of
wheat -four one pound of substitute is
TO be bought. The administration de-
cided on this course as result of the
fact that the majority of the dealers
in this county are fully supplied with
substitutes.
Obeying Order.
Mr. Griswold said that restaurants
in general are complying with the
food administration orders for meat
less breakfasts and wheatless suppers.
He declared that they are not 100 per
cent perfect but are gradually COM
ing to meet the requirements of the
order. He declared that the public,
too, is becoming more and more &C
customed to the order and has famil-
arized itself with the requirements.

RULES ARE ANNOUNCED FOR PERIOD
OF LENT WHICH BEGINS TOMORROW
AND CONTINUES TO EASTER SUNDAY

Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, fore
moon OF Holy Saturday and the Vigil
of Christmas.
Fish and flesh meat are permitted
at the same meal.
The lenten fast and abstinence
terminates at noon Holy Saturday.
These laws of fasting and absti-
nence oblige in conscience, and
should be as nearly fulfilled by all
Catholic people as opportunity presents
and obligation demands. At the same
time it should be remembered that
the primary purpose of this holy
season is to invite the people to
penitence. prayer and the perform
ance of good works.
Hence, in all the churches wher-
ever possible, there should be held
special lenten services, wherein
practical devotion and pious instruc-
ton should be united. The recitation
of the Rosary, the Way of the Cross,
meditations and instructions upon
the passion and death of our blessed
Lord, attendance at morning mass,
and visits to the blessed sacrament,
should form our religious program
during this holy season.

MAN WHO GAVE SERIES OF TALKS HERE
TWO WEEKS AGO ON BEHALF OF RESCUE
MISSION is SHOT BY HOLDUP AT NIGHT

c. F. Stalcup ran down his front steps.
They darted across the street through
a yard to the alley and down the alley
to the railroad tracks, after which all
trace of them was lost.
Mr. White was able to walk to his
home where he waited medical aid
which had been summoned. EXamina-
ton failed to locate the bullet and it
was found necessary to take White TO
the doctors Office for an X-ray exam
nation. The bullet was located in the
back but not in a dangerous place. DR..
R. G. Stevens gave first aid to the in
jured man at his Offices in the Boyce-
Greeley building and after the X-ray
examinations were made took Mr..
White to local hospital. The bullet
was located between two ribs and eX-
tracted.
IF the bullet had gone an inch fur

have entered the chest. The lead is
something of a souvenir as it is badly
battered up from its passage into the
body. l have encountered nothing to
indicate that the patient will not soon
recover"
Mr.. White was for IA years a cook
in the army, coming to Sioux Falls
about six years ago. He was for a
time connected with the Rescue Mis-
sion and later opened up restaurant
on West Tenth street. White had an
nounced his intention of again taking
up the work of reformation and has
made arrangements to take over the
management of the Rescue Mission.
He proposes to conduct the institu-
ton along more extensive lines.

Harry White, former Rock Island
man and now owner of a restaurant in
Sioux Falls, s. D., who two weeks ago
spoke in a number of churches in this
city under the auspices of the Rescue
Mission, was last week shot by holdup
men in Sioux Falls when he attempted
to fight them Off
G. 0. Rogers, superintendent of the
mission here, who Is years ago picked
White up from saloon doorway and
who started him on the path from the
barroom to a successful business, has
received the following newspaper clip
ping concerning the holdup:
Hands up-put EN- up quick" was
the greeting of two apparently anna
ten hold-up youths to Harry White
last night about s o'clock as the Tenth
street restaurant keeper was but i
few feet from his home at GIG South
Main. White gave battle to his as
sailants and as he struggled with one,
the other ruffian shot him from the
back with a 32-calibre revolver, the
bullet entering near the spine, and
lodging between two ribs. The at
tending physician stated after the bui-
let had been extracted about midnight
last night that had it penetrated an
inch farther it would have entered the
chest and probably a vital organ Or
blood vessel.
White called for help and as neigh
bOrs ran to his assistance the gun
man fired two more shots. White lost
his grip on the man he had engaged,
who regained his feet and the two
started south on Main avenue just as
