STAFF OFFICERS
 UNABLE TO JUDGE COUNTER ATTACK

Washington, March 29-American staff officers watching the battle front dispatches from hour to hour, still were unable today to judge whether tie French counter assault in the region between Noyon and Montdidier was the beginning of a great counter stroke or was directed at local ob- jectives to strengthen that portion of the French line.
 Further than the Associated ress cables from France reporting Gen. Pershing's offer of the American troops to Gen. Foch, the war depart ment had nothing to indicate the ex- tent to which American forces might participate.
 It is regarded as possible that the stress of the emergency will bring about a complete merger of the French, British and American troops under one supreme commander. Dis patches previously have indicated that Gen. Foch would be the man, and Gen. Pershing's action tends to sup port that theory.

CRUSADE AGAINST UNLICENSEDDOG COMMENCED HERE Dr. Geo. T. Crowley Points Out Danger of Rabies
 From Dogs at Large OWNERS MUST OBEY
 REGISTRATION LAWS Fifteen Owners Are Sum- moned to Appear Before
 the City Court

pr. George T. Crowley, special dep- uty Commissioner of Domestic Anil mals of Connecticut, arrived in Bridgeport this morning to start a crusade against unleashed and unreg- istered dogs. Before noon he had summoned 15 owners of dogs to ap- pear in court for violation of the quarantine law which went into eff feet Sept. 22, 1917.
 Dr. Crowley said "there is an epi- demic of hydrophobia sweeping over the state of Connecticut, not confined to animals alone, but humans have become infected from being bitten by dogs, cows, horses, cats, and in fact by every sort of domestic animal.
 Conditions became so bad in Wa terbury we had to use the most stren- uous efforts in that city to stamp out the epidemic of rabies which made it's appearance among all sorts of dogs and cats. The danger lies not only in the dog or other animal running loose, but they travel over wide areas of the country. One dog travelled from Waterbury to Sheffield, Mass, biting men, women, children, and ami malS along the way.
 'Tt would not surprise me if many of the dogs infected with rabies found their way from Waterbury to Bridge port, and people who own dogs in this city have become so lax and care less the commission has been com pelled to start @ crusade that people may be taught to keep their dogs housed up or on a leash, so that if they do get infected with the dread disease, they will at least be unable to run at large. Bridgeporters must also be made to register their dogs. Under the new ruling they will be se- verely dealt with for failure in this respect.
 ''No less than three persons died from hydrophobia in Connecticut in the last few months, while 120 per sons have been saved through the ap- plication of the Pasteur treatment. It was found necessary to destroy 180 dogs, Ii cattle, two horses, seven cats and one wild fox, all of which were infected with rabies.
 "The figures I have quoted are only the cases which have come to the mo- tice of the commission. There are a large number of other cases which have not been reported or have been treated as other diseases. The situa- ton in Bridgeport while giving no cause for any great alarm at the present time, requires the most dras- tic action on the part of the officers appointed to look after this branch o1 the service. I expect to have g. busy time while conducting the crusade ir this city and when I leave the owners
 of dogs will know exactly how to obey the laws governing domestic ani- lmals."

DRASTIC DEMANDS
 MADE OF RUMANIA

Washington, March 29-Germany having subjected Rumania to the sac rifices of a conquered province, Stato Department advices today say, now has demanded that the little state turn over all her valuable oil fields to a German controlled corporation. A summary of the German terms re- ceived by the department says.
 "It scarcely is necessary to draw attention to the fact that the condi- tions are monstrous. Rumania finds herself deprived of the greater part of her natural wealth for the benefit of a foreign state and private individ- uals' fortunes are placed at the mercy of foreign societies. No state has ever been placed in the obligation of con- senting to such a dismemberment of its sovereignty"

CROSSLEY FIGHTS
 HIS EXTRADITION

Word has been received from New York that Harry Cross1ey, the Bridge port real estate manipulator, church man, and New York stock broker, ar rested in New York a month ago charged with embezzlement, will tight extradition to Bridgeport to the last ditch.
 The 30 days allowed the State of Connecticut to extradite a prisoner was up today, and Detective Sergeant Bray, who IS in Albany, trying to get the papers, had to hurry to New York city, to attend the hearing in court. The case against C1Aossley was nolled and he was immediately rearrested which will give the Bridgeport au- thorities another 30 days to extradtte him.
 Governor Whitman of New York has designated April as the date upon which he will take up the mat ter of Crossley's extradition and it is expected here he will be back in Bridgeport in a very short while after that date.

Oil For COOKING

Few people realize what great deal
Of use can be made of oil in cook. ng,
and tho the price OF oil has risen con-
siderably it is cheap to fry with be.
cause it contains no water like lard,
butter, or fat, and it wastes less when
frying. If care is taken while frying
not to burn the oil, it can be strained
after using thru a fine stra;ner, into
clean basin, and when cold should
be covered, and can be used over and
over agin. Let it cool little before
straining it. When using oil for fry
ing, that is deep fl put enough into
clean, deep saucepan to half NIL it;
let it heat slowly and when a faint
blue smoke rises from it put in two or
three of the articles you want to fry
at a time, let them color golden
brown, take them out, drain on clean
paper and dish.

Reasons for Potatoes With Meat

Meat and potatoes are a good food
combination, and may he a better diet
than bread and meat, according to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. At this time, when a plentiful
supply of potatoes makes them cheap,
and when wheat and flour are high,
the average family, says the depart
ment, may find it wise to eat less
wheat foods, and to use potatoes in
stead. Potatoes at dollar a bushel
give more energy and good mineral
basis than bread at cents a half.
pound loaf.
Most persons like potatoes with
meat. and they furni.h valuable
starch; but it is pointed out that mere
starch is not all tn.t is needed, and
that the mineral content of potatoes
is OF value in cCunteracting the acid
forming su. stances in meat. Thess
acids are present also in cereals, while
vegetables, fruit, and milk have an ex
cess of neutralizing alkal.s. Therefore
potatoes are better with meats thar
are rice, bread, ant macaroni.
Furthermore, potatoes assist in reg
ulating the digcstiv, tract, to a great
er extent than white flour, macaroni
and polished rice. Potatoes may be
added to the diet in bread itself by
mixing portion of finely mashed 20
tatoes with flour.
