its attitude toward Servia made the
chances Of Russia's interference about

assuring the world that there was no
danger whatever of war. ViViani, the
French Prime Minister, declared on

Germany knew all along that she

AMERICANS FOIL
GAS ATTACK
Enemy Flame Projectors Destroyed
by Shells

With the American Army in France
There was greater artillery activity
by the Americans on the Toul sector
Tuesday than at any time since they
took position there. American shells
have obliterated at least five groups
of gas projectors which had been set
up by the enemy in preparation for
an attack. Fires back of the German
lines also were caused and number
of explosions were heard.
Americans Capture Raider
American troops on the Toul sector
again raided the German positions
penetrating to the second line. No
prisoners were captured but a numb
er of the enemy were killed by shell
and rifle fire.
Along the Chemin des Danes the
crew of "a German raider which fell
at Clancy Monday night was made
prisoner by American soldiers. The
Germans later were turned over to the
French.
Yankees Hurl Thousands of Shells
American artillerymen are hurting
thousands of shells daily against the
German positions, making it virtually
impossible for the enemy to occupy
them. Investigation shows that thew
have virtually been abandoned. This
is especially true in places northwest
and northeast of Badonviller, where
the two raids mentioned as having
been carried out simultaneously took
place.
Information obtained in the Ameri-
can sector, northwest of Toul, leads
TO the conclusion that the American
raid there Monday came at such a
time as to cause the Germans to
abandon plans Of their own for a raid
Normal artillery fighting continues
in this sector, shells falling on towns
on both sides of the line.
At one place the Germans used mus
tard shells. A small number of A
mericans walked through the gas
later. An American patrol brought

IN FAVOR IF
LENROOT

DURAND, Wisconsin, Mar. IA
Charles A. Ingram of this city, former
speaker of the Wisconsin assembly,
has issued signed statement in sup
port of the candidacy of Irvine L. Len
root for United States senator as fol-
lows:
LOYALTY FIRST
"The special senatorial primary to
be held next Tuesday, March 10Th,
will determine the loyalty of Wiscon-
sin, and am writing this brief article
urging each patriotic voter to make
a special effort to cast his ballot at
this primary.
''The real contest at the primary
is for the Republican nomination and
there the issue is sharply drawn be-
tween Irvine L. Lenroot Of Superior
and James Thompson of La Crosse.
Irvine L. Lenroot is the present
member of Congress from the 18th
Congressional District and the one
Congressman from Wisconsin who has
consistently stood by President Will
son in the conduct of the war.
"His opponent, James Thompson,
on the other hand, stands on a plat
form evidently designed to secure the
support of those who are opposed to
the policies of President Wilson. The
issue is SO clearly drawn that there
can be no mistake.
Il am satisfied that there can be no
doubt as to the result if the patriotic
citizens Of Wisconsin will do their duty
by attending the primary next Tues
day. Let US unite regardless Of party
or party affiliation and nominate r.
vine L. Lenroot that no further ques-
ton can be raised as to the loyalty
of Wisconsin.

VALUABLE CARRIER PIGEONS
USED TO MAKE FINE PIES

London, July 31.-The most ex-
|pensive pigeon pie which perhaps has
!even been served anywhere was en-
joyed by members of the Allied dip.
matte colony in Jassy last spring.
One February afternoon one OF the
Allied ministers received crate OF
fine pigeons. There was no mark to
indicate the sender. The pigeons
were killed and cooked that evening,
and a number OF the minister's col.
leagues, including American Minister
vopicka, had their fill Of pigeon pie.
A week later a delayed telegram
reached the minister who had been
host at the dinner. It was from a
high military officer Of his govern
ment, directing him as to the disposal
OF Every valuable consignment" Of
carrier pigeons which had been sent
him after long course Of training
and which were designed to take an
important part in certain highly con-
ftdential negotiations then pending.
