With the American Army in France,
Sunday, April 2l.-(By Associated
Press) Two. low.flying German air
planes were brought down Saturday
by American machine gunners in the
attack in and about Seichtery, north.
west Of Toul. The machine gunners
who bagged the Germans had been
ordered to retire, but they remained
at their position and fought effectively
against the enemy aviators.
During the engagement, the Ger
mans concentrated their artillery fire
on the American telephone and tele-

/ (AoSOAIA GO F0c0o.)
While eWaiting the next German
blow, now momentarily expected,
Field Marshal Haig is taking advant'
age OF the comparative lull to
strengthen his lines, both north and
south OF the Somme. and on the Lys
battle front, the British defensive po.
sitions were improved in local opera
tions last night. Similarly the Ger
mans have made an attempt to push
forward their lines in the Mesnil,
north OF Albert, In which sector they
are preparing for some more improve
ment movement. The British offered
a, sharp defense and oiled the enemy
efforts
Heavy artillery fire is in progress
on so many parts Of the front that
little indication is afforded by this
as to the point selected by the eGer-
mans for their renewed thrust. Natur'
ally, they may be expected to make
further efforts to extricate themselves
from the pocket into which they have
forced themselves along the Lys,
southwest Of Ypres. Thus, last night
the enemy was reported shelling the
British positions in Nieppe wood.
wherein lies the houte to Hazebrouck,
the railway center from which it Is
we'll nigh vital for the British to hold
him.
Nothing New at Ypres. j..
There has been no new develop
ments In the region north Of Ypres,
where the Belgians stopped turning
movement last week, preventing the
British from being thanked out Of the
Ypres positions. The nature Of tho
ground and disposition Of the oppos'
ing forces. however, make 1t seem I'M
possible that a repetition Of the at
tempt is to be looked for. .a.. '%
The situation in the Somme region
is. being for the moment even more
closely watched than that along the
Franco-Belgian border to the north.
Field Marshal Haig reuports heavy
shelling of the British line on both
sides of the Somme, and Ancre.

After the Americans had driven the
Germans from the occupied post, the
enemy did not attack again, and Sun
day was comparatively quiet east of
St. Mihiel. The German offensive,
which persisted throughout the day
and into the night, was preceded by
most violent artillery fire, but the
Americans were dismayed and stayed
at their guns to meet the enemy at

Large Acreage Donated and

Bowman, n. D.. April 22.-Clerk OF
Court A. l.. Young made the rounds OF
Bowman this" week and raised SIPS
and the following tells what it will be
used for:
Object: To increase the acreage
of wheat and to secure planting OF
wheat on lands that would otherwise
be idle this year, and further, the TO-
tai proceeds of crops so raised to be
given in equal shares, when threshed,
this fall, to the Red Cross and Navy
League. The farmers are donating
their time and labor in return for the
seed being furnished them. and no
expense is attached to the matter 9TH
er than the initial purchase OF the
seed:
Farmers who have volunteered to
seed the wheat and the ACREAGE
Emil Yanksi, 5 acres.
C. E. Joyce, 20 acres.
Obert A. Olson, 10 acres.
Eryant Taylor, 5 acres. ....
Seed has already been purchased
and arrangements have been complet-
ed with the above named men for the
seeding of 40 acres on lands that
would not otherwise have been put in
to crops this year. Before another
week it is expected to boost this to-
tai from 40 acres to 60 acres, as there
is nearly sufficient funds on hand with
which to purchase seed now, and
some more has been promised.
Possibilities: With go acres seed
ed and a net crop of only 10 bushels
to the acre, this would mean this fall
a donation of $1,200.O0 to the Red
Cross and Navy League besides the
raising of 800 bushels of wheat addi
tional which our, government urges all
to do.

Black wheat placed around the
