Gigantic Fighting Front.
ii THROUGH GERMANS OVER MILE

With Enemy Held at All Other
Points on Line.

Completely Frustrated.
IBy Webb Miller, United Press Stan
Correspondent
PARIS, July 1S.-(6 a. m.)-Com.
pletely frustrated in their original de-
sign to reach the Marne on wide
front and smash toward Chalons, the
Germans have switched to second
ary objective, attempting to encircle
Rheims by pushing along the Marine
valley toward Epernay with their
backs toward Paris.
A high French military official thus
summed up the situation for the
United Press this morning:
"This is the first time an attack OF
such weight has collapsed so quick
ly," he declared.
Reports received during the night
placed the enemy within eight miles
of Epernay. Furious fighting was
raging on the steep declevities and
the banks of the Marne along which
huge masses OF Germans were being
thrown against the allies in repeated
assaults. In their advance toward Ep-
ernay the Germans have the advant'
age of moving along railway and
highway which runs on almost par
alleI lines to the town. The French
are meeting this thrust with inces'
SAINT counter attacks, which at last re-
ports. were causing many OF Ger
many's most violent efforts to wilt
without appreciable success. The
fighting was described in battle front
dispatches "a the most furious OF the
offensive with the German shock
troops meeting the French counter as
saults in repeated clashes.
Yesterday, the Germans began
throwing in their reserves, which had
heen massed in the rear. These were
originally intended to be used only
IN developing any great initial sue
cess. The fact that they are being
thrown into the combat now is an.
ofher indication that the Germans are
hard hit. French and American nam
mer blows have crushed into the en-
emy lines at every point since tne
drive began.
nspatches received during the night
said the Germans had started an al
tack on the line from Fossoy to
oeuilly, a front Of more than sixteen
miles along the Marne. This batue
takes in some OF the ground recaptur.
cd In American and French counter
attacks earlier in the week.
The Germans are across the Marne
IN a front Of about fifteen miles, ou'
the strongest effort to develop this ad,
vantage is being made only along the
roads TO Epernay. To the south they
we're not able to exploit their gain
inasmuch as the whole river valley is
under a constant shower OF frencn
shells. .,

guns, is what has held up the Soches.
Along the Montmirail road, which
the enemy expected to hold today,
old men and women were peacefully,

the Germans by the Americans east
of Chateau Thierry upset the enemy
program of -operations toward Mont

The attack today was centerin3
against the French on the American
right, in an apparent effort to reach
Epernay.
AS an instance of the German loss

lery wiped out one entire regiment

twenty men, five were destroyed
The famous Sixth Grenadier regiment
was utterly annihilated, every man
being killed or captured. Three Ger
man divisions 10000 men) were SO
demoraIized that they have not ap-
peared In the battle since the first
day.
Extraordinary weather has marked
the battle daily. Scorching sunshine
has been succeeded by oIoudiness and
rain almost every hour. with monoto-
nous regularity.
The latest information shows that
forty-five German divisions $4,000
mem are being used on the entire
front.
American aviators have brought
down another plane, raising their bag
to seven.
The fighting in the fields and woods
| in the present battle of the Marne
is most unusual. Companies, pIatoons
and even groups of two or three men
are waging their own warfare In
clearing out the 8oches.
Sergeant J. f. Brown, separated
from his platoon, encountered the
captain of another company. Point
ing at four enemy machine guns, the
captain said: "Let's us get 'em."
The pair charged the nests, seem
inaly impervious to the hail of buL
lets, and killed or captured the crews
of two of the guns. The prisoners

them over to the captain and cleaned

additional prisoners and smashing
the pieces.
The captain had started back to
the American lines with his captives.

WASHINGTON, July 1S--When
America tightened up her belt June

| United States to ship to the allies
S44 100000 more pounds OF meats
and fats, and 80,900,0o0 more bushels
of cereals during the ensuing twelve
months than was possible the year
previous.
In a letter to President Wilson
outlining this nations grocery deliv-
cries to her associates in arms, FOOD
Administrator Hoover said that "All
the millions Of our people who have
contributed to these results should
feel a very definite satisfaction, that
! in a year Of universal food shortages
in the northern hemisphere, all OF
those people joined together against
Germany, have come through in the
sight of the coming harvest not only
with health and strength fully main
tanned, but with only temporary pc
RODS of hardships."
All food shipments to the allies, the
Belgian relief and the Red Cross
/ totaIled 81 400, 100000 during the fs-
! cal year, represented 3,Ol1,lO0,O0O
pounds of meat and fats Gncluding
meat and dairy products, vegetable
oils, etc., and S4,S0o,o0O bushels OF
cereals. In addition some 1O,OOO,OO0
bushels of grain have been shipped
to neutrals.)
Hoover pays a high tribute to the
effort of loyalty of the farmers and
TO those whose sacrifice has been
accomplished voluntarily and indi-
yidually'' without trying to disin-
guish where the greatest credit be
longs, Hoover says:
! NO one will deny the dominant

CONGRESS TO PROVIDE
FOR CREEL COMMITTEE
The Expense No Longer Will Come
From the. President's Con-

Washington, June 13.-After q
conference between Chairman Shir
ley. OF the appropriations commit
tee, and George Creel, chairman OF
the committee on public information
it developed that the appropriations
committee intends to appropriate
directly for the expense of Cree,'s
committee and that it will no longer
be paid from the Presidents CON
tingent fund. In view of this Mr..
Creel will appear before the appro-
priations committee and give a state
ment Of his activities in the past and
plans for the next year.
Chairman Sriley said an amend
ment would be offered to the surdrv
civil bill appropriating $4,000, 900
for the Creel committee for the next
year. The President will be given
another contingent fund of $4,000.
600, but Creel will not figure IN il.
Heretofore the expenses of the Creel
committee have been paid from the
Presidents war fund for genera
purposes Of national defense. This
old fund of 100000 which has
not been fully expended. expires by.
of law July 1. The Pres
ident has urged it for various emer-
gency purposes.
Proposed action of the appropri"-
tions committee will probably end
the agitation before the rules COM

man, for an investigation of the
Creel committee. Creel is expected
to supply full details concerning his

The offering of an amendment for
the specific appropriation will af-
ford opportunity for another out

evitable when the item for the COM

THE FIGHTING SPIRIT

"Wm your Kentucky people eat ,ornbread for a week?' asked @ State Food Administrator at a re- cent Washington conference.
 "My people" replied the Kcn- tuckyan, would eat cornbread from now until harvest if it would help win the war" There spoke the fight ing spirit, and lt is the spirit that Is running like a flame through Nmerca.
 A New York woman read in Che laily paper that millions of bushels of Russian wheat had fallen into German hands. She leaped Co her feet, with shining eyes, and cried. 'The Germans rob the helpless Rus Iian farmers Of wheat. but ! am -obblng our helpless Allies when ! eat wheat bread | will eat no more wheat bread until harvest" The lame of battle had scorched her soul
 Again thc lighting spirit speaks from California In the phrase, Lets eat milo" When the 5O-5O flour ruling caused constcrnation among the non-combatant women, one lighting spirit in California cxhib- tied i'm a store window a coGee-mill . sack of milo maize, loaf of milo bread and a recipe-this is the lighting spirit and she had fired the kind of a shot that will be heard around the world before tho war Is over.
 A brave woman writes from middle western state or can buy no substitutes at the store and have no money to send or for substitutes, but have made two weeks supply Of flour last three and a half weeks" She. too. substituted Che lighting spirit and tackled the prob lem.
 A Kansas woman writes: "We use aornmoal or some other wheat sub stltutes twice a day. We grind our own cornmeal and also grind kofir for pancakes and gems"
 From the Philippines comes the report that the consumption of wheat flour has been cut in half; they are eating rice instead Thus from east to west, from north to south the women are rising.
 These soldiers of the commissary will supply America with daily bread without cutting the loaf they offer the Allies. They will eat corn bread, or any other wheatless bread, or no bread at all twenty-onc meals in every week and prove to Germany that the women of America fight with those who fight for them. Sol dier comrades they are of their brothers at the front!
