time being practically killed trade
with that country. From India and
Australia we removed all the fast
steamers plying to and between
those two countries and we made
very dangerous sacrifices of meat
supplies-endangered even those of
the British army, by transferring
these ships to the North Atlantic,
thus wasting refrigerator space, as
meat was not available for export
from North American ports"
Our loss of essential imports ow-
ing to the fitting of ships for the
carriage of American troops amount
ed TO we'll over 100000 tons. That
sacrifice of imports was made at a
time when our total imports had
been reduced to 100000 tons a
year, of which 100000 were NUM-
tons and 100000 essential foods,
as compared with the peace figure of
100000 tons.
"One hundred and seventy-five
British vessels of more than 500
900 tons dead weight were put spe-
cially in the service of CARRYING
troops and we even fitted
up fighting ships for that purpose.
While the sacrifices to Great Britain
was heavy the practical isolation for
the time being of the overseas
dominions involved very serious
hardships to those dominions-
hardships which were borne without
complaint, recognizing, as the do
minions did, the vital necessity of
the measures taken"

Hazard, Nebraska, Boy
Tells Of Killing Huns
and Capturing Cow

In a letter to his mother, Mrs,
George Green OF Hazard, Neb., Pri-
vate Edmond L. Chapman in France
with the One Hundred and Thirty
seventh infantry, says that the Ger
man machine gun trickery is the
lowest, dirtiest stuff on earth or in

His letter is dated November 2.
He writes; The Thirty-hfth divi-
sion smashed the Fritz line for four
days then waited one day for re-
lief. | do not know how far we
went but it was several kilometers.
For while | did not know if |
ever would write to you again, but

one small wound-not enough to re-

NO time to stop. 1t was battle
between the good old United States
infantry and the boche artillery and
machine guns.
Il have been over the top, but that
is nothing when you go over under
your own barrage; then all you have
to do is to send back your prisoners.
But one evening we got ahead of
our artillery. We started out at
$50 and captured one machine gun
nest and later we heard some Ger
mans talking and went on and cap
tured them. We fell back to our
lines and had hardly got dug in
when Fritz came out of the woods
ahead of us in large numbers. We
opened fire at 1000 yards and they
broke and ran. One German waved
white flag while his comrades were

we were able to employ twenty
trains daily.
Unity Plan Praised.
"Amiens now is safe through the
recent allied triumphs on the Marine
and the Somme, which were due to
the unity Of command. Those two
great victories have resulted in the
capture Of between $4,000 and $4,000
prisoners and between 500 and 900
guns"
Assisted by Yanks.

premier, ito the brilliant quality Of

nestle difficulties that had to be
met, said that after March 81 all the
difficulties Of finding men for the
army had vanished like mist.
