Germans, in Quiet Sector,

Short Barrage
Oh The .Associated Press

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
LORRAINE, Aug. 17.-The Americans
early this morning captured the village
OF Frapelle and eradicated a consider
able German salient in the Allied lines
Prisoners we're taken by the Americans
and the Germans evidently suffered
heavy casualties in killed and wounded
This sector has been regarded as q
quiet one, and to-days action began
merely as raid into the cnemys posi-
tions. The raid was preceded by a
straight bombardment for few min
utes, followed by a box barragc that
,penned the Germans off from escape.
When the Americans went over the
top to attack at 4:30 o'clock they sue
ceeded in sweeping all enemy resist
ance before them, and the raid be-
came an organized attack. The Ger
mans replied heavily to the American
artillery fire, and they also shelled the
entire neighborhood throughout the
day.
The enemy fire, which included bar
rage, was ineffective. The Americans
have occupied the former German
trenches and consolidated them against
counter attack.

To Be Universal,

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Universal war
bread of better quality than last year
for all the nations fighting Germany,
practically without rationing, will be
one of the chief results of the food
controllers conference at London,
Herbert c. Hoover, American Food
Administrator, announced to The As
sociated Press to-day.
He added that there will be ample
supplies Of fats and meat if the popu-
lations are economical and avoid
waste.
"The danger Of privation is now
passed." he declared. He said the
people Of North America were now
able to send overseas the great bulk
OF food supplies required, and it will
therefore be possible to curtail the
total length of the voyage necessary
to bring these supplies to the Euro
pean Allies, thus effecting a consid-
erable saving in tonnage.

Is Billions in
Liberty Loans
For Next Year
Three Campaigns, Each to
Raise Five Billions,
Now Planned

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Tentative
plans of the Treasury Department pro-
vide for three Liberty Loan campaigns
in the next year, each to raise SIS 5,OOo,-
100000 or more, It was learned to-day.
The first will be from September %
to October 19, as has been announced.
The second is planned for January or
February and the third in May or June.
This programme will be necessary,
it is explained, to provide the S16,-
00o,000,000 which officials estimate will
be required to finance war operations
during the year, in addition to the S8,-
OOo,000,000 which may be provided by
the new revenue bill now being drafted.
If government expenses and loans to
Allies fall much below the $4,000 ,000,-
600 estimate the government is expect
ed to try to combine two loans in one
big campaign for the largest credit
ever sought by any nation. Such q
campaign would be set for some time
in the late winter.
Money needs between loan periods
will be financed by the sale of short
term certificates Of indebtedness, as in
the past. In addition, the Treasury
looks for steady inflow of monev
from the certificates, which banks and
corporations probably will buy in bill
dollar quantities as means of
virtually paying their taxes in advance.
Livery effort will be made by the
treasury to make the number of loans
as few and the time of financial rest
between the campaigns as long rs pos
slble. Officials would much rather have
only one more big solicitation, In ad1
dltlon to the fourth campaign, to start
late next month, than two before, the
end of the fiscal year next JUNE 80.
No plans for future Liberty Loans
can be formulated definitely many
weeks in advance, owing to- the uncer-
tainty Of the vounls of government ex-
pendtures. Consequently, the pro-
gramme nowfn the minds OF Treasury
officials jS highly tentative. An ex-
ample 81 the fluctuations Of expcndi-
turssis the fact that with August more
than half gone the Allies have called
for only S71,ooo,0OO loan payments, a
little more than one third the usuaJ
rate of borrowings.
