British Cavalry Reaches Chaulnes.

Chaulnes, railway junction of vital i'm

German Montdidier army, is near fall. British

in British hands.
Farther south the French have taken Anvil
lers, six and one-half miles northwest of Roye,
the nerve center Of the German Picardy pocket,
comparable to Percent Tardenois in the Aisne-
Marine battle.
The British left has been temporarily held
up by a stiff REINFORCED German resistance
between Chipilly and Morlancourt. The lat

while on their-right the French first army
deepened the bulge and ploughed forward east
of the Avre in the direction of the Chaulnes-

miles will cut the life line of the German forces
cooped up in the hourly narrowing Montdidier

Washington. Sept 13.-There are
now 205.000 officers in the United
States army and navy today. 1856. 900
being army men and 10000 navy
men.
Before the possibility OF uppleas-
antness with Mexico developed TIE
traditional army OF the United States
was about $4,000 men on paper. with
about 5000 officers. When the Mex
lean trouble became acute there were
at one time on the Mexicap border
about 10000 men. including the Ma
tional Guard. In the early part OF
1917 there were approximately 130.-
900 men in the regular army and
about 10000 enlisted men in the navy.
The 205.000 officers command just
now about 100000 sailors and marines
and about 100000 men OF the army.

by July will be nearly 4.000.O00 and

SUGAR FOR CANNING.

The food administration assures
sufficient sugar for canning and pre-
serving purposes. 1t must be under
stood, however. that you should only
put up sufficient products for this win
ter and not for future use.
The applications show that many
families are not getting one-third the
results OF others. Good results are
obtained by using part sugar and part
syrup or honey. Make your sugar
go as far as possible. 1t must not be
used for any other purpose when Sc
cured for canning.
In making an application for a sec
ond supply you must fill out an appli-
cation blank showing the number Of
quarts, pints OF glasses OF different
kinds of fruits put up with what you
have had. and take 1t TO the county
administrator. or one of the deputies.

Fly Italy's Flag

Evening Herald-News. Joliet. III.
Fly q flag for Italy when you hy
those of the other allies. Let the
green. white and red float alongside
the Tri-Color OF France. the Union
Jack and the stars and Stripes.
1t is only very recently that Amer
leans have bonored any flag except
their own. We were an isolated peo
pie until little more than year
ago. In Illinois, the average citizen
and especially the average school
child, hardly recognized any other flag
than the Stars and Stripes when he
saw it. Since the war started the
blue, white and red of France. the
three crosses of the Union Jack of
Great Britain. and the black. yellow
and red. of Belgium have become ia
miIiar 10 us ALL. Upon every special
occasion they are flown with our own
colors.
Italy has been neglected in such
display not by design. but because
Italy has not been mentioned in the
papers as frequently as the other
countries. She has been in a sort of
a war zone OF her own, and the Italian
army has not been bracketed with
the Yanks, in dispatches. as have the
armies OF Britain and France.
But Italy is in the war as much as
any land She is as loyal to the Az
lied cause as Belgium herself. Her
army has recently achieved splendid
triumph. Hundreds and thousands
of Italians went back home from
America 10 fight with and for their
own people
Italy's achievements in the air have
been heroic Hundred and thousands
of Italian-born or bred young men are
in the American army: and when
ever you meet an Italian born citizen
here you meet loyal American cit
izen who has bought Liberty bonds
and thrift stamps. who has contributed
to the Red Cross. and who has not
tried 10 evade the DRIFT.
So. upon the next occasion that calls
for flag display. fly the green. white
and red for faithful ally.

Austrian Sailor
Tells of Sinking
py HENRY WOOD,

ll'E1ted IrcSS Stdn SoreSpo'uehe-'
Rome, Aug. 16.-(By Mail-) Hum
garian papers have just reached Italy
by way of Switzerland containing an
interview with one of the survivors OF
the Austrian cruiser Santo Stefano.
sunk by an Italian motorboat under
the comamnd of Commander Rizzo.
The interview contains graphic de-
tails of this new form OF naval COM
bat which has been developed excIu-
sively by the Italians since the be-
ginning OF the war. The sea-going
motorboats with which the Italian
navy is now harassing- the Austrian
feet are similar to the thousands of
motorboats to be found at every sea
and lake resort in America. In only
one respect do they differ, and that
is in the two torpedo tubes at the
sides, from which deadly torpedoes
glide out into the water.
Combats between these little boats
and. the huge Austrian warships re-
semble to a certain degree subma-
rine and warship encounter. except
that the motorboat commanders, un-
able to save themselves by submerg-
ing. take thousand times more
chances. meeting the foe in open COM
bat and counting on the smallness of
their craft and their speed and clev-
erness in maneuvering.
Sailor Tells Story.
This is the way the novel combat
in which the Santo Stefano went down
before the audacity of Commander
Rizzo and his motorboat looked TO the
Hungarian sailor aboard the doomed
Austrian cruiser:
"At O'Clock in the afternoon We
received orders TO prepare for sailing.
We left Pola Che Austrian naval
base) at 10 in the evening. Toward
$3.50 in the morning we discovered
that an Italian motorboat was only Il
short distance from US, and a moment
afterwards there were two terrific de-
donations.
"The first torpedo penetrated into
our munitions magazine. but did not
explode. The second passed through
the hole made by the first and pene-
trated into the engine room.
'Immediately all electric lights
went out. Wireless apparatus ceased
to work. and even the pumps were put
out of commission, SO that we were
obliged to work the pumps by hand
to keep the water down. In order to
tighten the ship we threw overheard
all our heavy munitions.
No Hope Seen.
After two hours of terrific work
we were forced ITO recognize that
there was 10 hope. Toward 8 in the
morning the bridge gave way and the
was plunged into the sea. but sue
ceeded in regainine the ship b. swim
ming.
.'Our signals no longer worked sand
shots as signal for the entire crew
to stand by and line up on deck. Some
80 sailors who were working in the
bottom of the ship failed to hear the
signal and remained below. With
them was Lieut. BOWS.
after the usual ceremony the chap
lain gave us final absolution. just at
the moment that the battleship began
to go down. We threw ourselves into
the sea. and after tbreesquarters of an
hour were picked up by torpedo boats
that were scorting us. There were
also picked up the bodies of several
of the sailors who were drowned in
the bottom of the ship. and these were
inferred later with military honors
al Pola.''
