Bulgar and Turk forces were already
fighting over the strip of territory
which Bulgaria took from Turkey at

Other Countries Must Wait for
Ten Days.
Urgent Cablegrams Come From
Relief Commissions.

Washington. April 22.-Food ship
ments to the civilian population of the
allied countries will be suspended for
ten days to move three million bushels
of grain to the BelgianS who are de-
clared to be in desperate straits

populations in the German occupied

cision to concentrate on the shipment
of this grain was made following the

Belgian relief commissions representa- =
tive in Brussels. One of the cables
said:
provided all shipments now en-
route arrive and proposing an equal
distribution among all parts of the
country, Belgium and northern France
will be without bread from exotic
grains for twenty days.

With the American Army in Lor-
raine, April 22.-'That was one sale

on March 9. While coming back the
German artillery opened up with bar
rage. There was a burst of shrapnel
near the Dayton boy. His life was
saved by his tin hat. A piece of the
shell struck the hat and bounced off.
You ought to have heard it ring"
the Dayton soldier went on. TT

the shops at home were being rung
up. But the boche missed his sale.''
