ENEMY RAIDS NEW j. S..
MEUSE HEIGHTS SECTOR
Germans Attack on Listening Post
Follows Heavy Bombardment.
Message From President.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. April 4. America forces
now are occupying sector on the
Meuse heights. south of Verdun.
This announcement was released for
publication tonight. simultaneously
with a statement that the enemy raided
one Of the American listening posts in
this sector after heavy bombardment
The raid was made against one OF the
few positions in this region where II
is feasible. because of the terrain. to
conduct operations without heavy loss
to the attacking forces.
The enemy FIRST vigorously bombarded
the American first line and communica-
tion trenches zigzagging up the hill
side. and then sent over raidfng
party, which swarmed about the listen
ing post.
Further progress of the enemy was
can first and second lines, and, as q
consequence. the enemy can hardly
claim success.
Because of the topography of the
Meuse heights region. there has been
little severe fighting there for many
months, and the opposing forces took
advantage of the inactivity to construct
fine dugouts. many of them being light
ed by electricity. Each side enjoys
the advantage Of excellent observation
posts. and shells echo among the sur
rounding hills, which are covered with
spring flowers.
The other American sectors were re-
ported quiet today. The Germans sent
in few shells in the sector northwest
of Toul, but the enemy airplanes were
fairly active In patrolling. %5s H.
This weeks issue of the Stars and
Stripes. the soldiers weekly, will con-
tain the following message from Pres
ident Wilson:
please convey to the officers and
men Of our ,expeditionary forces my
warmest greetings on this the anni-
versary of the entrance of the United
States into this great war for liberty
and say to them that, we all have moi
only greatly admired and been very
proud Of the way they have so far ac-
counted for themselves, but also have
the utmost confidence that in every
sense they will prove to be made of the
finest mettle of free men,"

of the most important features Of mill
tary life in the cantonment this week.
Gen. Morton has returned to the can

and will retain command Of the diyis-
ion In which he has nodded into a con-
crete lighting unit the majority of the

Activities at Camp Mcclellan with
the coming Of spring weather now ex-
tend to field practice for all of the units
making up the Blue and Gray Division.
Plans for q ten-day field maneuver to
be participated in by every Organization
and within few days the country
side will be swarming with khaki-clad
soldiers campaigning under what is as
near actual wartime conditions as it
is possible for military efficiency to
provide.
The daily practice for the artillery
units, each Of them using real ammu-
milton against a system of specially
constructed trenches, the construction
having been carried on under the direc-
tion OF the engineers for the purpose,
shows that the heavy fighting units of
the Blue and Gray have profited by the
day and night firing practice prescribed
as part of the intensive training
schedule.
The 104th sanitary train will proba-
bly, be sent across country to Atlanta on
a seven or eight day hike under field
conditions as a part of the training
schedule prescribed by Gen. Morton.
The sanitary train has recently in
dulged in several short field maneuvers
to nearby points, and these field trials
have shown that this unit has already
reached high state Of military
efficiency.

WET OR WASHED EGGS.

They Spoil Easily and Cause an Enor-
nous and Needless Loss.
Eggs are needlessly spoiled every year
by washing and wetting. Approximate
y 5.O16,OO0 dozen eggs spoil every year
sscause some one has let clean eggs
get wet or has washed dirty eggs be-
fore sending them to market, according
to the specialists of the United States
department Of agriculture. Careful in
yestigation of large quantities Of stored
eggs show that from IL to % per cent
Of washed eggs become worthless in
storage, whereas only to s per cent Of
dirty eggs stored unwashed spoil. The
explanation Is simple.
Water removes from the shell Of the
egg gelatinous covering which helps
keep air and germs out of The inside Of
the egg. Once the covering is removed
by washing or rain which gets to eggs
In the nest, germs and mold have ready
access to the contents and spoil the
eggs.
The enormous loss in storage eggs
largely can be prevented il producers
and egg handlers. especially during
March, April and May, refrain from
washing eggs destined for the storage
markets and take pains to reduce the
number Of dirty eggs by providing
plenty Of clean, sheltered nests for
their hens.
In view Of this great loss OF valuable
food the department urges country
storekeepers and hucksters not to ac-
cept washed eggs for shipment in case
lots. Shiny eggs, especially in the early
spring, probably have been washed. All
washed eggs purchased should be sold
locally for immediate consumption.

CREDIT AS CAPITAL.

Use Il, Invest Il, but Do Not Impair
Nor Squander IL.
A prominent member Of the financial
district, who has had many ups and
downs-fin has been In
dependently rich on several different
occasions and who has as frequently
been in the place where he did not
know where next months rent might
come from, states unequivocally that
credit Is q mans best capital"
He says that credit is something that
may be invested and used to great adj
vantage in business, but should not be-
sQuandered, lived on or worn away.
"a mans credit may outlast dozen
fortunes and enable him to succeed on
another attempt" he AYERS, and states
further that he has recently written
something to the effect that It is useless
and foolish to advise men to keep out
OF debt. Useless, because men who are
not so constituted cannot keep out OF
debt, and foolish because the great ma
jority Of men cannot do business with
out credit.
ITO use ones credit in business may
be a wise and profitable investment,
but to live on credit and thus wear 1t
away is always dangerous. A man
should live on what he earns and invest
his credit only after careful investiga-
hon, and when his best judgment con-
vinces him that it will be safe and
likely to yield profit"
The author OF the foregoing Is now
in circumstances of afiluence after hav-
ing lost nigh well on to dozen for
tunes. He attributes his final success
to the fact that he never abused his
credit.-Wall Street Journal.
