Met U-Boat Crisis.
Food was running short in the
United Kingdom in June, 1917, when
the Baron Rho5da was appointed
food controller of Great Britain. The
German Uboats were sending ships to
the bottom of the ocean and Great
army in France. The civilians at
home were beginning to feel the pinch.
Long queues of men, women and chill
dren stood for hours at the food stores
in scores of British cities and there
was a loud grumble from the public.

Saved England Last Winter.
Transportation in America was
snowbound for weeks during the win
ter of 1917 and America failed to de-
liver TO England the food she had
promised. Rhondda met the crisis by
fixing the amount of food to be served
every person in hotels, restaurants and
boarding houses down to the minute
fraction. 1t carried England over the
crisis and resulted in his elevation to
viscount.
Victim of Own Theories.
But the new viscount seemed to
have fallen a victim to over devotion
to his own theories. He had boasted
that he was living on far smaller
ration than he had imposed upon the
British public, Blu. in April, 1918, suf-

All Come Back Safe.
Paris, March 13.-An American de-
tachment in the Woevre region has
successfully carried out a surprise at
tack on German trenches south Of
R1checourt, says the French official
communication.
An American raiding party entered
the German trenches along the Toul
sector at six o'clock Monday morning,
after an artillery bambordment Of
forty-fye minutes, and brought back
much material and information. but
captured no prisoners. It was the
nrst raid undertaken by the Ameri-
cans without the aid of the French.
The raid was highly successful. as
the enemy withdrew many men from
the front line when the bombardment
indicated that a raid might follow.
me raiders reported that American
gunfire has created destruction in the
German positions and had torn gaps
In the enemy barbed wire entagIe-
ments. The German batteries came
into action. but accomplished nothing
toward disturbing the progress of the
raid.
The Americans entered the enemy
trenches behind one side of box"
barrage which moved forward In front
of them. They found numerous Ger
mans hiding in dugouts. In TIL hand
to-hand fighting which followed
number of the enemy were killed and
wounded and left in the trenches.
Going far beyond their objective.
the raiders penetrated the German
line 800 yards. A few fights develop
ed on the way, but the Germans were
driven off. The Americans failed to
find most of the Germans who had
been withdrawn hurriedly from the
front line, although they searched for
them.
In the hand-to-hand fighting. the
Americans used their automatic pis-
tolls and rifles. During the raid, the
American machine gun played a bar
rage in the enemy back areas in order
to prevent counter attack.
The Americans fought so fast and
did their work so quickly that the
medical men who accompanied them
had little to do. Every American who
left the front line returned
On their way back, the Americans
encountered a German listening post

fallen anywhere near them. for 1t was

me that this particular front trench

Immediately above me came a drip,

eight feet wide, ten feet long and six
feet high. 1t was about twenty feet
below the fire trench; at least there
were twenty steps leading down to it.
These steps were cut into the earth,

or else he would "shoot the chutes.'
The air was foul, and you could cut
the smoke from Tommy's Tags with a
knife. 1t was cold. The walls and
roof were supported with heavy square
cut timbers, while the entrance was
strengthened with sandbags. Nails had
been driven into these timberS. On
each nail hung miscellaneous assert
ment of equipment. The lighting ar
engagements were superb-one candle

from the cold, and the drip from the

cold and with the rain beating in my
face. About half an hour later I
teamed up with another fellow and
went on guard with my head sticking
over the top. At ten o'clock 1 was
