HINpENBuRes MEN SURPRISED

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, June 2S (By the Associated Press) ).-Field Marshal Von linden burg's troops east of the Forest of Nieppe got a nasty and unexpected knock today when the British suddenly drove forward in surprise attack along front of more than three miles and hurled the startled grey coated soldiers back to an average depth O. 1500 yards.
 The operation was an unqualified from its inception and the attacking infantry reached all otheir objectives in remarkably short time.
 By this thrust the British not only have greatly improved their position in this important and much contested sector, which lies just north of Mer- vile, by their inflicted heavy punish ment on two hostile divisions that were holding the line there-.the Thir- ty-second division of Saxons and the Forty-fourth reserve division of Prus sians.

fruit. The jars should be filled only
to 1-2 or "a inches of top to prevent
loss of strip. Fruits maturing in a
very wet season are so juicy that they
require less water for jelly making.
To estimate the amount of strip re-
sulting from any combination of
sugar and water, add half the amount
of sugar to the amount Of water used;
e. g., two cups of sugar and three
cups of water make four cups of strip.
Sugar "goes farther" when added
to hot fruits or made into strip. be-
fore adding:
1 3-5 cups corn sirup is equal to
l cup sugar; l 1-5 cups cor sirup is
equal to "a cup sugar; 4-5 cup corr
strip is equal to IL cup sugar; 2-5
cup corn sirup is equal to Ia. cup
sugar; l LIS cups corn strip is equal
to 2-3 cup sugar; SIS cup corn strip
is equal to 1-3 cup sugar.

HEAVY RAIN MEANS

YIELDS OF GRAIN

a steady, soaking rain which be.
gan falling at midnight and continued
until $3.50, when it ceased for a time,
only to be renewed at intervals during
the day, will be of inestimabla bene-
fit to the farmers of Lata1 county
The rain came down gently. but stead
lily, every drop being absorbed by the
thirsty soil, which had not had such
a good soaking rain for more than two
months.
The ground was unusually dry and
the rain was badly needed. All kinds
of crops. were needing rain, but it
came in time to save much of the
spring grain and to add much to the
of corn, potatoes, beans, peas,
and all kinds of garden truck and
fruit. Fall wheat is to far advanced
be helped by the rain, as much of
it is cut and in the shock, but the
rain will nc injure the fall wheat, if
.ollowed by warm, dry weather, while
t will mean the increase of several |
bushels per acre for every acre of
'pring grain in the county. 1t will
only increase the yield, but will
improve the quality of spring grain
immensely.

MORE LUNCHES WILL
Be NEEDED MONDAY
CANTEEN COMMITTEE CALLS
FOR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR
SOLDIERS LUNCHES

The emergency call issued for twelve
preparation of twelve lunch boxes i'm
mediately. All those who wish to con
tribute are asked to call 50 as soon as
this copy of the Star-Mirror is in their
hands in order that the committee may
make plans for filling the boxes. The
articles needed are one dozen oranges,
7 packages of gum Give were left over
from the packing last week., two plat
tiers of homemade candy; one large
loaf cake, made at home; five dozen
drop cookies, and one dozen chocolate
nut bars. The committee has on hand
enough store candy and enough plain
chocolate bars.
1t is hoped that those who were too
late to get in on the last list will find
this their opportunity for adding some
thing to the regular Saturday baking.
In the list of names of contributors
to the last group of soldiers lunches,
Mrs. A. l.. Hawley's name was mis-
printed. Mrs. Hawley is an enthusiastic
supporter of the canteen committee.
The canteen committee is in receipt of
a very pleasing and courteous letter
from Julius Cherpillod who acknow-
Lodges with great gratitude the receipt
of his lunch box.
Part of Mr.. Cherpillod's letter follows
and it will be read with interest by all
those whose generosity has made the
lunch boxes a possibility.
Gas I have a spare moment I will
try and write you a line thanking you
for your kind courtesy when we left1
Moscow, especially the canteen commit
tee for their lunches as they were sure a
great treat for the boys that leave. They
cheer one on the way.
On our trip from Camp Lewis to
Camp Kearney we were surely treated
immensely by the Red Cross associations
the road in eats and smokes.
Camp life is sure great, especially at
and the chow is sure fine. Couldn't
lsk for better eats than we get here.
The weather here is fine, rather warm
turing the day time, but the nights are
inc as it is always cool and nice. 1t
5 sure an ideal place for a camp, and I
hink every one enjoys things here, es-
the Moscow bunch, as there are
ute a number of Moscow boys here.

HENRY RAWLINSON
IN THE SENSATIONAL DRAMA
Smashing Through"

The roads, which yesterday were
! deep in dust, are equally deep in mud
today. The writer drove six miles in
a car early this morning and it was
| with difficulty some Of the hills were
climbed, even with the use Of cnaIns.
Where dust stood deep in the roads
yesterday evening water was stand
ing today. The fields are thoroughly
soaked and every kind of vegetation
will take on new life.
Corn has been doing fine during the
hot, dry weather, but this rain will be
of great benefit to it as we'll as to
potatoes. In the bean sections 1t is
said that rain was badly needed, but
this rain came in time to save the
bean crop and make a good yield
where not more than half an average
crop was expected. The same is true
of peas, of which there is a large
acreage in Latah county.
The rain will be of great benefit
to all kinds of fruit, especially berries.
Dealers have complained that the
berry crop was drying up and that
enough berries for the home demand
would not be secured, but the berry
crop is now assured as a result of this
rain.
Had this rain come a month earlier
t would have meant hundreds of
of bushels added to the
grain crop of Latah county, but it is
more than welcome at even this late
late, for it will mean the difference
between a failure and a fair crop of
many fields of grain, and it is believed ;
will add from two to five bushels I
o every acre of spring wheat in La I
ah county. !
Reports from other sections show /
hat the rain has been general, but it

poured into jars. Best flavors re-
suit when fruits are made only slight
ly sweet with strip.
4. Use the least amount of sugar
possible in the small quantity of jelly
made. Remember that more failures
in jelly making are due to the use Of
too much sugar than to any other
cause.
To exract fruit juices for jelly:
"a Crush soft fruits, allow one
half cup of water to one pound Of
fruit. Heat to boiling, simmer thirty
minutes and strain.
(2) Cut hard fruits into small
pieces, allow three cups of water TO
one pound of fruit. Heat to boiling,
simmer forty-five minutes and strain.
These juices may be canned without
sugar and made into jelly as needed.
5. Proportions of sugar to fruit
juice. The substance which makes
fruit jelly possible is known as pectin.
The test for pectin may be made as
follows: Add one to two tablespoons
of 95 per cent grain or wood alcohol
to an equal amount of he cooled fruit
juice in a glass. Shake glass gently
to mix. Let stand thirty minues.
Pour slowly from glass and observe
appearance of pecin. 1t will appear
a lump of gelatine. If the pectin
forms in several large Jumps, three
of sugar will suffice for
four measures of juice. When there
are many small particles of pecin
measure of sugar should be used
two measures of juice. If no pee
in is apparent, the juice will not make
ely alone and should be combined with
,ther fruit juice which contains pee
in. The necessary pectin may also

PEOPLE ASKED TO
USE LESS SUGAR
HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT
ASKS FOR GREATER ECONOMY
IN ITS USE

The following appeal is sent out by
the home economics department OF
the food administration. 1t is an
appeal to the people to use less sugar
in order that our soldiers and those
of our allies may have more of it. The
appeal should be read, studied and OBJ
served by all housewives, restaurant
and hotel-keepers and all who use
sugar. 1t follows:
Stretch the Sugar Supply
Sugar is scarce-so scarce in fact
that it is no longer possible to buy
the larger amount for canning that
was allowed earlier in the season.
The fruit crop must be saved.
Fruits are so necessary to health that
it would be a grave mistake to go
without sugar rather than not canned
at all.
How to Meet the Situation
L. Dry fruits in large quantities.
2. Can fruits and fruit juices with
cut sugar. This may be successfully
done by the ~cold-pack method. They
will keep as well or better; less short
age space is necessary; they may be
made into sauces, jelly or syrups as
needed.
3. Use the minimum amount Of
sweetening for fruits. Cultivate a
taste for the natural fruit flavor. The
fruit acids are especially important in
the diet.
A. Limit the amounts of jelly and
These should be limited to
the needs of invalids and children.
These may be made as needed from
unsweetened canned fruits and juices.
Use the least possible amount of
sugar or strip in making these. See
proportions given later. S
5. Use sugar substitutes for cook
ing fruits and in fruit combinations. {
These are: Brown sugar, corn sugar,
strip, fruit sirups, glucose, j
honey, maple strip, sorghum, New r
Orleans molasses. a
6. Use raw fruits without sugar. b
fresh, ripe fruits may be enjoyed at a
able without sugar just as when eaten a
. orchard or garden. 0
z. Use less sugar with a little salt a
or jam and marmalade. When made 81
a this way the product should stand a

ACCOUNTANT
 GOES WRONG
Claud T. Boyles, of Engineering Commission, Held at Anchor
 age for Embezzlement

Claud r. Boylcs, since May 1916. Iaccountant of Che telegraph and tcl- cphono department of the Ala.kun Engineering Commission at Anchor Iagc. has been arrested on the charge of having zmbczelcd $i,759.O7 Of the commissions funds. according Co adviccs received in Seward. Boylcs is held in the Anchorage jail.
 According Co John n. Robinson, special investigator for Che Alaskan Engineering Commission, who ar rested Boylcs, the prisoner admitted having embedded the commissions funds. receipts of both the tclc- graph and telephone department and Che lighting department, but was not certain as Co the amount of his pcculations.
 The money, it Is said was taken in sundry amounts since August, 1916. the first dedication for less than giOO occurring about three months after Boylcs had come here from Valdez to take Che accountaucy position. Now that his accounts have been accurately checked, it is declared that they show he pilfcrcd almost every month, the thcfts ranging i'm sums from as low as 500 monthly Go as high as Sl,5OO monthly.
 His manner of living in Anchor age while not uoticcably oXtrava- gant, was nevertheless sufficiently beyond his salary Of $2OO a month as accountant to explain his defal- cations. He was not addicted to drinking or gambling. He smoked cigars costing % cents each and cigarettes Of unusually high price Before his marriage last November he entertained friends at dinner in restaurants quite often.
 His bride of last November was Miss Neil E. MclEcry, of Chicago. She went to Anchorage last spring and was for a time employed in a large commercial establishment She left there i'm January to visit her parents i'm Chicago At the time of her departure her husband gave her $500 Co defray travelling expenses. ho has sent her no money since and neither did he give her any presents Of a costly nature before their mar riage.

Recent arrivals at Nome from Council bring an amusing story of a bad, bad, gunman who came to grief through the wilcs of two Es- kimos who not only captured him gun and all. but packed him bodily Co thc bastilc and left him in dur ance vile, says Che Nome Nugget

 Determined to end forever Che supposed Sherlockng propensities of the natives, sayrc hied himself to his cabin. secured a huge cannon and started Co round mp the Esld- mos.
 The gun was not loaded, but sayrc presumably thought that an empty gun was sufficient to blun an Eskimo with. and failed Co charge his weapon.
 The natives were located i'm cur pcntor shop on the main thorough fare of the town, but would not re- spond to the sayre invitation to dis close themselves.
 The gun wielder brandished his weapon and uttered words of right eous wrath, but the enemy would not surrender to his war whoop.
 Imbued with Che Eo-get-'em spirit sayrc then decided to enter the shop and dig the enemy out. He got as far as the door, an right but there he met sudden and unexpected discontinue, for the aboriginos were in ambush behind the lintel and grabbed the belligercnt sayre before he was aware of what was going on. The natives then proceeded to pack him bodily over to CommIs- sioner Flannigan's court and turn him over to the tender mercies of the judge. with the sage remark "Him white man, him heap dam fool.
