Meatless days are entirely sus-
pended for the next thirty days. be-
ginning to-day, according to tele-
gram sent by Herbert Hoover. Fed
eral Food Administrator, to the food
administrators for Pennsylvania.
This change in ruling is due to an
unusual hun of hogs TO market,

lack of port facilities.
The large supply of potatoes and

tate enlarged saving of breadstufls,

British Army Headquarters in

off large numbers of the enemy until

chine gun was thrown into the car
and the two men sped away.
The battery of another car which

! the Germans with machine guns ran
out of ammunition. The Germans
! closed in. coming up to such short
distance that they were shooting
with revolvers. The situation was
hopeless but the gallant Canadians
! were not to be taken alive. They
seized spare barrels OF machine guns
and charged the Germans with these
weapons. They were of course no
match for an enemy heavily armed
and all of them were killed
Up TO yesterday the daring crews
of these lighting machines had slept
only about &c hours since the Sec
ond days attack.
On the first day, these cars in con-
siderable numbers were rushed to
the right flank below the Sommc.
where the situation was most crti-
cal. They at once got into the thick
of the fighting. At Maricourt. just

there until the guns and tanks were
withdrawn safely and then making
off.
At one point the Germans were
massing for an attack, when Two
cars crept up within close range and
eniiladed their ranks. German ar
tillery shelled the cars. knocking
out one and forcing the other to
withdraw. but not until they had
done great execution. At Cerisy.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
Lack of Cars Causes
Cut in Soft Coal Output

Altoona, April 1.--Car shortage
has caused loss of 211,029 tons of
coal in the Central Pennsylvania
bituminous fields during the week
ending March %, according to re-
port of J. p. Cameron, district rep
resentative of the national fuel ad-
ministration. Mines on the Penn
sylvania Railroad divisions in west
crn Pennsylvania produced but 314,-
615 tons during that period where
rs the capacit" of the mines is 525,-
$50 tons.
Mines are being operated only a
little more than half their capacity
and there is no prospect of improve
ment under the present system of
car distribution the report states.
Labor shortage caused a loss OF o.
4S7 tons. The mines delivered l.
097 cars to the railroads for fuel
during the week and sent but 80
cars to tidewater. The blockade on
the Pennsylvania Railroad is almost
as serious now as it was during the
severe weather of January, Mr..
Came eron declares.
