Fine Twirling Duel

Johnny ogden, the Garnet star, also
pitched a great game and it was
twirlers' duel from the start. ogden
was dcnted for only six hits, but two
of them were punched in the fourteenth

Coach BettEer, the Swarthmorc tutor.
brought out four new players. Two,
Russell White and Garter, are former
Northeast boys, and both played a good
game. The latter made two sensational
throws for putouts to third base from
his position in center field.
White had four chances at third base
and handled them without an error. lie

FAKE TELEGRAM SENT BY SWEET.
HEART TO GET SOLDIER HOME

The local draft board received word
here Monday to investigate telegram
sent from here to Walter Benson,
colored, private in the U. s. Army at
Camp Zachary Taylor which stated
that his sister was dying and for him
to come home at once. The telegram
was investigated and it was found to
have been sent by Mrs. Hazel Owens
of East Third street at the request of
Rachel Brown of Youngstown, Ohio,
who had rented room. from her.
Miss Brown has been seriously i'll
with pneumonia and had written to
Benson to come and see her as she
was very i'll. Benson wrote her that
it was impossible unless she posed as
relative and send telegram stat
ing she was dying, This she did and
all would have gone well and the sep
arated lovers Joined together again if
the authorities had not investigated
and found out that the Brown woman
was not Benson's sister.
So many close relations of soldier
boys have been dying" and sending
pitiful kilograms calling for them,

gotten wise" and now the Sammies
will have to think up a new reason
for getting few days furlough with

With the British Army In France,
April 16-Bailleul, eight and half
miles east Of Hazelbrouck. in Flan-
ders, was captured and occupied by
the Germans last evening, when the
enemy also seized lie Revetsberg
Ridge east of the town. AS result
the British pulled their lines back
northward somewhat to positions run
ming east and west little above Bail
leul and lie Revetsberg.
Fighting is continuing in this sec
tor, with the Germans trying to push
westward toward the railway center
of Hazelbrouck
The loss of Bailleul was not unex-
pected for its strategical value could
not compensate for the lives it would
cost to retain it in the face of the ter
rible onslaughts the Germans would
be able to bring to bear against it.
Although the loss of Bailleul and
some of the comparatively high
ground around it, such as Mount De
Lille and Revetsberg, represents de-
cided setback for the defense, the
British line as it has been withdrawn
is still on ground much higher than
the Germans occupy. The British ar
tillery thus possesses numerous want
age points from which it can continue
to pour in devastating fire upon the
attacking columns. Chief among these
high spots is Mount KENNEL, which
towers up more than 400 feet from the
low ground about Wulverghem, two
miles to the southeast. Apparently
Field Marshal Haig's forces still have
firm hold on all this valuable hill
region.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general idea Of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July l, 1914, to
January l, 1918, is given by figures
just announced by the U. S. Food Ad.
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,1OO933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for %, 1850 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 1884 100000 bushels
Pork exports for the 3H years amount
ed to almost 2,OOO.OOO,OOO pounds. Ex-
ports Of fresh beef totaled 443,484. 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

Fat is fuel for fighters. Bacon is
badly needed in the allied armies and

three times as rhuch as before the war.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored 1OO,0OO,OOO bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of 8O,OOO,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 180,OOO,OOO BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
70,O00,OOO bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
5O,OOO,OOO bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels Of wheat left in the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135,0OO,OOO to
the left over.
1t Is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it is entirely a problem
Of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
Ing our stock with the Allies.
