HUNS PRESSING HOLLAND
DUTCH BETWEEN TWO FIRES

Washington, April 25.--Germany Is
holding the mailed fist over Eolland
in bold attempt to force her to
sanction the shipments of supplies
through Holland into Belgium. The
official sanction of Holland appears
to be fraught with war possibilities,
but the news so far received lacks
the official seal. 1t is not ga .crally
believed that the Hollanders will
accede to the Boche demand unless
they are willing to sacrii ice their
neutrality which up to this time has
been preserved intact.
This new outbreak of the G G.rn,ans
is putting the Hollanders in an unfor-
tunate position. In any event they
are between the Devil and the deep
blue sea. II they grant Germany's
demand they place themselves where
the allies can seize all their ships and
colonies; and if they refuse they will
doubtless be attacked by the Ger
mans.

COLORED TROOPS
GOOD FIGHTERS
One Regiment Acquits Itself
Well Under Its Baptis-
NAL Fire

With the American Army in
France Correspondence of The AS
sociated Press) One regiment of
negroes in the American Army (No.
deleted by censor) has had it's bap-
tism of fire on the fighting fields of
France and acquitted itself so we'll
that the French commander of the
sector has cited the whole regiment
as worthy of receiving the War
Cross. This regiments repulse of
the enemy attack on the early morn
ing of June IL (possibly at BeTleau
ferred to in the official conmunique.
A later and official report of the
engagement brings out interesting
details and gives credit to the Of
ffcers and men for fine fighting quail
tiles displayed in their initial expe-
rience under shell and machine gun
fire. The French commander of
that sector has given the regiment
the highest possible commendation
for the results accomplished and
the splendid fighting spirit shown by
the American negroes.
For several days preceding the at
tack there We're evidences that the
enemy was preparing to strike a
blow. Two days before one of the
main points held by the regiment
had been subjected to a strong bonn
bardment of nearly one hundred
shells, gas and shrapnel. Prior to
the heavy enemy artillery barrage
occurring on the morning of the
twelfth, our advance groups heard
movements apparently of narrow
gauge track trains in the wood back
of the enemy lines, indicating they
were getting ready for an attack.
Every preparation had been made
for meeting the move If it came.
Besides the usual combat groups at
the main points of the line, a special
machine gun section occupied a spe-
cially chosen position on a small sa-
lient projecting into the enemy line
1t was accompanied by a combat
group detailed from reserve COM
pany and carrying rifles and hand
grenades.
1t was 2.15 on the morning of the
twelfth that the order to stand to"
was given and all combat groups
and the machine gun section took
their fighting position. The enemy
artillery now opened a violent bonn
bardment, engaging in box bar
rage" five of our main groups and
the special Machine gun position.
The lines of this bog barrage are
we'll defined on the ground, showing
it's outer circuit, with a considerable
scattering of hits inside. The shells
were mostly IT'S, with some 1858,
gas, shrapnel and high explosives.
One of our points received particu-
lar attention. probably by minen-
werfer, the craters of which were
two yards in depth and five yards in
diameter. The artillery lombard
ment WITS extremely violent at the
ment was tapered off until it stopped
after thirty minutes.
Meantime, under cover of the ar
tillery, the enemy infantry began its
operations, adopting the iniltering
process by which detached groups
are thrust forward at a number of
points instead of moving in mass
formation. One group came on with
two light machine guns, firing a
rather intense fire into one of our
positions. Another group was esti-
mated to be about 25 or 80. At an
other point on our front a stationery
enemy patrol took position, firing

ARMY KITCHENS
PRIDE OF BRITISH
Kings Regulations" Call For
Rigid Inspection Daily
by Commanders

Behind the British Lines in France,
The Importance of the kitchen de-
partment of the army cannot be
overrated, for If men are to work
hard and efficiently they must be fed
properly. For this reason the
Kings Regulations. provide that it
is the first duty of every command
ing officer 20 see that the soldiers
meals are properly and sufficiently
provided" 1t is further ordered that
an officer must inspect the kitchens
and cookhouses every day, while the
same officer must visit the barrack
rooms and mess tents during the
breakfast, dinner and supper hours
to find out if there is any cause for
complaint.
The kitchen establishment of a
British army camp varies widely un-
der different circumstances. At gar
rison centers in France the cook
house is a large building shared by
several units, and is under the
charge of a sergeant-chef, who has
been through a special course in
military cooking. 1t is his duty to
superintend personally all cooking
done in the regimental cookhouse.
Each unit, in its turn. has a chief
cook, who is responsible for all the
meals of his unit.
In the field. however, the cook
house is a thing of mushroom
growth. When a unit is on the march
the simplest method of constructing
a temporary kitchen is to place a
number of kettles on the ground in
two parallel rows. block the leeward
end of the passage thus formed with
another kettle and light a fire in this
improvised trench. AS soon as the
fire has been started one or two rows
of kettles can be placed on top of
those olready in position.
If the stay at a particular spot is
likely to be for. any appreciable
length of time a good field kitchen is
improvised by digging a narrow
trench for the fires and placing the
camp kettles above this. Sometimes
