2O-CENT MILK

Prices of Local Dealers
Stir Food Office to
New Activity.

Complaints that several milk deal
ers in this city are charging as
high as 20 cents a quart for milk
have led the District Food Admins
tration to take up with renewed
vigor its investigation inro the con-
ditions surrounding the sale of this
commodity.
Several remedies have been sug-
gested, but for some reason all have
been dropped without definite ac-
tion. Food Administrator Wilson
proposed dividing the city into
zones for the proper distribution OF
milk, but as the dealers objected TO
this plan it was thrown into the
discard. Another plan. which is
still under consideration and may De
adopted within the next few weeks,
is the placing of milk quotations
on the weekly fair price list issued
by the administration.

MANY DC. JOBS
FOR FIGHTERS
Preference Promised for
Returned Soldiers in Busi-
ness Openings.

Returning soldiers will find posi-
tions waiting for them in the busi-
ness establishments of this city, ac-
cording to Charles ]. Columbus, sec
retary of the Merchants and manu-
facturers' Association.
The majority of the bus ness houses
Of Washington, Mr.. Columbus de-
clared, need more help than they have
at present, and the returned soldler
or sailor will be given preference
when applying for work. Employ
ers will be glad to welcome back
old employees who answered the call
to the colors because these men are
already experienced.
"A large percentage of the new
population of the city, Mr.. Column
bus said. will remain after the dec
laration of peace. Many of these men
or women will send for their families.
The city will need more homes TO
house its growing population, and
that will mean more work for the
building trades and more work for
the returned builder in khaki"
Present Population to Stay.
It is the belief Of many of the de-
partment heads that the present
population of the city will remain
after the end OF the war. Capt Ju-
Illus l. Peyser, chief of the Division
of Housing and Health, has complied
figures showing that there are more
than 125.oo0 government employees in
Washington, not counting army men.
Many OF these so-called war
workers" Capt. Peyser stated re-
Gently, will continue to make their
homes in Washington for some time
to come
The reabsorption of the old en-
ployes will mean practically no dis
charge of new employees. owing to
the general increase in trade busi-
ness men declare.

Today's War
Summary
(By The Associated Press}

-
Terrific attacks by the Allies over
five sectors, the aggregate length of
! which is more than 100 miles, have
greatly influenced German positions
in France.
From the North sea as far as the
st. Quentin region a tremendous bat
tie is now flaming up, with the Bel
gians on the extreme north cutting
deep into the positions the enemy
has held since 1914 and with the
Americans, British and French
smashing the Hindenburg line be-
tween Cambria and st. Quentin.
Northwest of SCISSORS, north of the
Aisne, the French lave gained the
crest of the ridge along which runs
the famous Chemin des Danes from
which the Germans apparently are
hastily Ictreating.
III the Champagne sector, General
Gouraud's French army has smashed
its way ahead toward the vital Ger
man positions west Of the Argonne
forest.
East of this forest and west of the
! Mouse, General Liggett's American
IarEcy appears to be crushing the en-
elny's resistance as it rolls north
ward.
Everywhere the Germans are fight
ing with desperate valor. There is

the enemy has broken down under
the sledge hammer blows of the AL
lies. 1t is only by fighting of the bit
terest character that the gains made
during the past day nave been pos
sible. Realizing that he stands with
his back to the wall. and in danger
of disaster, the enemy is battling with
all the at his disposal to
check the Allies before his lines are

in France is forced to retreat toward
Germany. Latest reports would seem
to indicate that Marshal Foch's
strategy in the nresent battle of bat
ties is similar to that followed dur
ing the Marine, Somme and st. Mihiel
drives. He is attacking the wings
of the German positions and intends
the center of the enemy line to re-
tire.
Again the offensive tactics of the
Allies may be likened to an immense
pincer which is slowly, but inexora-
bly, closing. Far to the north the
Belgians have cut deep into the Ger
man positions and not only threaten
Belgian coast but also place the Ger
man line further south in extreme
peril. Cambria is now near it's fall
apparently and south Of hat town
the Allies are far across the st.
Quentin canal which. is the key OF
the whole position north of st. Quen-
tin.
Further south the French seem to
have completely outflanked st. Quen-
tin and cut it off from the German
strongholds at La Fere and in the St
Gobain forest.
Successes by the French along the
ridge between the. Ailette and Aisne
rivers make It virtually impossible
for the enemy to hold his lines there

American forces further east are
moving north along the west side
of the Meuse river and are threaten
ing to outflank the whole Argonne
forest and compel the Germans to
retire from a sector which is appar-
emily vital to the entire enemy line
in eastern France.
In Macedonia the Allies continue
their advance into Bulgaria and are
now on the western threshold OF that
country. On the west front ia this
theater, the Italians have forced the
Bulgarians back through the noun
tains toward Albania.

Resistance Along This Front
is Slackening - Machine
Gun Fire by Germans is
Big Hindrance But is ov-
ercofne.

With the American Forces North Of
St. Quentin, Sunday, Sept. 29.-(By
The Associated Press)-American di-
visions brilliantly attacked on a front
IT several miles in conjunction with
he British this morning. AT night
!all they were reported to have gained
their detectives only by sheer might
and after killing large numbers of
the enemy.
Elsewhere along the front between
st. Quentin and the sea important
gains were made today and tonight it
seemed that the German resistance at
least for the moment was slackened
of.
The resistance encountered by the
American troops was as strong as
anything offered by the Germans for
many weeks. The Americans as well
as the British were held up at many
places from time to time by machine
gun fire. In some places this oppo-
sition was overcome by thanking
operations and, in others quickly or
ganized storming parties rushed the
enemy and %silenced him.
Gouy Reached.
One American unit is reported to
have passed through LIE Catalet and
to have reached Gouy. Other units
which stormed and captured Nauroy
have passed through LIE Caberet
wood. Early in the forenoon SO Ger
man officers and 1000 Of other ranks
had reached the American collecting
cares but this number included only
THOSE captured during the early stages
Of the attack.
1t was at 6 o'clock this morning
when the Americans with the British
on their left and right tanks "shoved
off," from the Hindenburg outpost
line about 1000 yards west of the St
Quentin canal which was captured on
Friday. After a short crash" bar
rag the infantry, preceded by a
large number Of tanks, started adj
vancing through the haze.
Scramble Through Barrage.
After hard fighting the troops
reached the canal and scrambled
across as the barrage swept on ahead
Of them. The Germans appeared to
have had orders to hold until the last.
That is what most of them did and
naturally during fighting Of such a
desperate nature the Americans suf-
fered casualties.
As the Australians passed through,
both they and the Americans, some
units of whom plainly showed expert
encing hard battles, stopped and
cheered. At other places where the
fighting continued %furiously the
Americans working their machine
guns and rifles. cheered as they work
ed. The Americans co-operated close
~ with the Australians and kept a
stream of bullets directed at the Ger
mans.

NEW GERMAN BREAD.

Amsterdam, Sept. 3o.-Germany is
threatened with a new war food called
lupine bread. To work a process for
converting the lupine, q leguminous
plant into food for man and beast on
a large scale, a company has been
formed at Chemnitz, Saxony, with
capital Of 10000 marks.
The lupine was held in no particu-
lar esteem until about fifty years ago,
when a German chemist discovered a
process by which the bitter taste of
the plant was eliminated and the
vegetable fat and albumen which it
contains were made ~serviceable for
human consumption. Now a German
food expert. has taken up and per-
fected the old recipe. 1t Is said that
lupine meal makes quite a p%alatable
and wholesale bread" while the
refuse is excellent food for cattle. The
German government, 1t is announced,
is about to take the lupine cultivation
under it's official wing.
