after the Germans began their at
tack all along the Marnce where they
were opposed by the Americans and
the French.

bend. The American machine gun

their guns. Others of the American
troops withdrew to strategetical po-
sitiOns to the east of Chateau

which they did in order.

CONTROL

Large Use of the

ment control of the tobacco industry
! of the United States may result from
the heavy requirements Of the allies
and American military forces abroad
Rationing Of the American popula'
tion is believed to be possibility.
The war industries board announ'
ced today that It has been conducting
an investigation to determine the re-
quirements abroad and the amount
that must be conserved in this coun'

mates that approximately two-thirds

able for export to the allies.
Tobacco issued to the military for
ces in England, France and Italy
amounts to approximately 159,000,-
900 pounds year, the board said
England and France each allot 40
per cent Of their eatire consumption
to the army and navy, while Italy al
lows her military forces As per cent.
The total yearly consumption Of the
entire populations OF these countries
the board estimates at 3S7,000,00O
pounds or 41,000,000 more than this
country is able to export.
Persons who pointed to possible
government control in order to as
sure tobacco for the allies and the
American forces, declared that it is
more than probable that with the al
lied armies consuming between forty
and forty-five per cent of the total
consumption in allied countries, the
American forces would use more
than fifty per cent of the total
amount used in the United States.
The war industries board quotes
the annual per capita consumption of
the United States and the allies as
follows:
Italy, two pounds; France, three
and half pounds; Great Britain,
four pounds; and the United States
seven and a half pounds.
Englad, France and Italy are now
chiefly dependent on imports from
the United States as their imports
from other tobacco-growing coun-
tries have been materially reduced
through lack Of shipping and inabil-
ity to import from Turkey and Bull
garia.
