GERMAN TROOPS FIGHTING
 DESPERATELY AT BAPAUME

With the British Army in France Aug. 27.-(By A. P.).-Large rein forcements are being thrown in by the Germans in the neighborhood of
 Bapaume, especially at the town it. self and in the area Immediately south of it, Although there is much con- fusion in the enemy ranks his resist ance stiffened appreciably tonight.
 The Germans have gone to the greatest length to hold their line here and even have armed and thrown
 into the line bandsmen and men from
 the transport service. There has been
 hard fighting in the vicinity of Thil-
 loy south of Bapaume.
 On the center of the battle front the battle is raging with greatly in creased violence. The Germans are reported to be digging in along line the general direction of which may be Teckoned as starting at the north bank of the Somme, to the rear of Guile
 mont and then northeast through Ginchy. It is believed the enemy in tends to make a desperate stand on
 this line.
 Once driven from this line the next logical place for a strong stand would be in the rear of the Canal du Nord, | which runs in a northeasterly direc- tiGn from Peronne to west of Cana brai. In the south the Germans have made preparations for strong resistance on the east bank of this canal.

VEGETABLE PROTEIN FOR
 CHICKENS.

Among the poultry experiments now being conducted on the Government farm at Beltsville, Md, are a number of feeding tests in which the value of vegetable protein is being compared with beef scrap. One pen of chick ems fed a mash containing 20 per cent. beef scrap produced in five and one half months an average of 63 eggs per hen Another pen fed on mash con- sisting of 10 per cent. peanut meal and 10 per cent beef scrap produced an average of 5S.4 eggs per hen during the same period The hens in a third pen which were fed a mash consisting of 10 per cent. bean meal and 10 per cent beef scrap averaged 44.4 eggs for the period. In other pens cottonseed meal and velvet bean meal were fed as part substitute fol beef scrap with the result that the hens produced a fair egg yield. though not as high as the hens in the firs1 pen mentioned.
