London, Aug. 16.---The Withdrawals
on the western front by the Germans
in the last few days, it is believed
here, indicate that the enemy intends
to abandon the offensive.
Military observers say there Is every
indication the Germans intend to
stand on their present line. There is
a possibility, however, that they may
fall back to the Divette, a small trib-
utary of the Disc and which joins 1t
south of Noyon. The French now
hold all the high ground in that re-
gion.
It is said the British are SO close
to Chaulnes that the enemy cannot
use the town. Almost all the rail
communications in the Pronne region
have been rendered useless by the
Allies.

Aug. 16.---By The Associated Press.)
---10:3O a. m.---The enemy artillery
was active last night from one end of
the British front to the other. The
activity was especially marked along
the new Somme battle front. in the
Esarts sector and in the region of
LaBassee, on the northern front,
where there was a heavy gas bonn
bardment There was no development
of activity by the enemy infantry
anywhere, however.
All along the Somme front the Brit
ish are continuing various slight for
ward movements to gain advantages
of position. 1t was in movements of
this kind that Damery and Parvillers
came yesterday into British hands.
The situation north of the Ancre
has not yet been clarified, the en-
emy's intentions being obscure. There
has been no further reports of wide
spread Withdrawals in this region, al
though the enemy seems to have
abandoned several of his small for
ward positions. On the other hand,
British patrols that crossed the Ancre
last night were fired upon and forced
to return.

Teach Canning Without Sugar

To encourage the saving Of fruit and
vegetables at time when the supply of
sugar is limited, a program for canning
without sugar is being carried out this
season by the United States Department
of Agriculture and the State agricultural
colleges through the boys and girls
clubs of the 33 Northern and Western
States. Fruits are put in boiling water
instead of sirup; unsweetened products
are canned for pie filling; fruits are made
into strip, which can be used in many
ways in place of sugar; and fruit juices
are also preserved by sterilzing them to be
used later for making jellies, jams, and
marmalades, The juices are also for
seasoning in general cooking and for
making beverages. Sugar-beet clubs
have been organized among the boys
and girls in many localities, and instruc-
tons are to be given in the making and
use of homemade sugar-beet sirup.
